Wow...an action movie were the cops are the good guys and have to fight their way through?
It looks absolutely brutal, I agree, but it looks like a fun flick.

For me, I can be pretty lenient with a movie when I walk in. I will let it try and sell me on its own merits, and not any trailer hype or other promo material. I don't avoid trailers, but at the same time I put about as much stock in to them as I do As Seen on TV product promos-interesting but ultimately misleading.
I also put just a little more stock in movie reviews, save for one or two. If its a movie I wanted to go see, all the negative reviews in the world will not keep from it. Contrary to that, all the positive reviews about a movie I am not interested in will actually push me further away from a movie.

see, that was my original plan too, but my days off are so convoluted, it might not be a choice.

Good luck being, sneaky

We would never mock you...insult maybe, but never mock

I haven't purchased a "new" video game in perhaps 5 years so I honestly can't speak to any of the latest stuff out there.  It definitely helps to have things like metacritic, and other websites for review. However, I rarely put stock in game reviews at the same time-I'm pretty easily entertained on that front. I'm pretty much stick with old stuff, like Halo or Star Wars: Battlefront. I've been meaning to try Starcraft 2 as well

@redeaxiver 70-80 US for a game? That's craziness.

As to the topic at hand, I have avoided weighing in as I don't really feel qualified to make an opinion on art. I certainly see plenty of opinions flying about as we are want to do on this forum

I will say that aspects of video games can be art, specifically the visual design work, interfacing and sound work. If a game is done right, then the production if often similar to that of a movie, in that you need actors, visual department, and sometimes a story, depending on the game.

But, unlike a movie, a game must be developed for a person to play and engage in, otherwise people rage quit.

Perhaps there should be a category of art called "interactive art," where the art must be built to be engaged by humans and not just in a mental capacity.

I'm just impressed the owner has a Stephen King hardback. I mean, wouldn't he have a digital copy?

Same site-same result-dead Bean

Good grief, is National Treasure the only movie he actually survived?

Who is his agent and what kind of negotiations does the guy do for Bean? I mean, I have heard of having tough roles, but this guy gets some tough death scenes.

All together now...
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Yes. This is a guilty pleasure of mine with a lot of quotable one liners.
Reyes Sr. and Jr. are pretty impressive in their style of martial arts too

Not to derail this thread further but I have to agree. "The Grey" is a movie that did not go like I expected it to, and the whole survivor theme felt hollow the more times they ran away from the wolves. Each character, save for Neeson, was fairly unforgettable and almost interchangeable.

I felt the filmmakers were constantly trying to out do each scare, and I felt it was a missed opportunity to actually do a different twist on the whole man vs. wild theme.

I am always amazed at the talented artists on this forum. I personally cannot draw worth anything. My attempts have been mostly mash ups of other people's works. I hate being that guy who asks for help for doing photoshop work or rendering, so I just ooh and aww at pretty pictures.

I prefer to write, especially science fiction, especially military scifi. Writing is really my only talent.

I'm a prequel fan and I agree with the panelists.

Where does that leave me?
