		<description>Whuh? I would have to strongly disagree on everything you said there, especially the ending, which was what took it from good movie to classic. It seems like it&#039;s going to turn into a more traditional tournament movie, then you think it&#039;s going to abandon the tournament altogether, then he proves that &quot;there is no situation you cannot escape from&quot; when all of the themes of the movie finally connect and he finds a way for the meaning of martial arts to triumph over the business and the bullshit. And even he can&#039;t believe it. Absolutely perfect, so I would have to counter that &quot;one of the worst endings in film history&quot; is one of the most absurd declarations in hyperbole history.

Your opinions never fail to make me spit my drink out and do a double take. But I&#039;m glad you have a take on the movie and not just the finance. Good for you. (Sorry, I must&#039;ve missed your review.)</description>

		<description>Redbest was total shit.  Bad dialog (his is usually MUCH better), unbelievable ridiculous situations and scenarios, one of the worst endings in film history.  Total pile of shit.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t get why you&#039;re talking shit on REDBELT. Did somebody tell you it was gonna be SPIDER-MAN? It&#039;s a David Mamet movie. Based on the figures you give it sounds like it&#039;s not profitable yet, but it wasn&#039;t supposed to be some box office juggernaut. Did you expect SPARTAN to be BOURNE ULTIMATUM? Of course not. This is a guy who has his niche, they are small art movies for a certain small audience. In this case the plot involves competitive martial arts so they advertised it to that audience, but that was clearly a case of the marketing people trying to cash-in on a silly angle. The movie is not designed for that audience.

I know you&#039;re fascinated with counting up somebody&#039;s money, but if you&#039;re also interested in movies you should check this one out because it&#039;s one of the best of the year so far. It&#039;s a great story about a code of honor triumphing over people who are only after money, which is why it&#039;s ironic that you&#039;re discussing it like this. Chewitel Eijiofor gives ones of his best performances yet, still intelligent and sensitive but this time also convincing as a total fuckin badass! It&#039;s definitely not for everybody, but for those who would seek it out it will most likely be worth it. I know about 5 people who saw it and all of them loved it, some even more than I did.

I like David Mamet, but this will be his first movie that I&#039;ll buy on DVD. It will make a good double feature with GHOST DOG. Nobody will give a shit that it was a &quot;bomb&quot; five or ten years from now when they&#039;re still watching it and quoting it, yelling &quot;improve the position!&quot; and &quot;there&#039;s always an escape!&quot; at their buddies.</description>

		<description>So when a film bombs, it’s fun to discuss WHY it bombed. Unpopular actor? Bad marketing? Stupid premise? Out of date topic? There are 1000 different possible answers. So here are some of the most notable bombs of 2008 so far, and a quick thought or two as to why I think it flopped. Keep in mind… all these films below got a wide release.

		<description>Dungeon Siege was barely marketed.  Hardly saw commercials for it, and the premise looked stupid.  No surprise that it bombed. 

I think TDK will do well overseas.  The whole Heath Ledger thing, as sad and as sick as this is to say, is free advertising for this movie.  Every news show will be covering this movie due to the Heath Factor, which will drive up interest in seeing this.  It&#039;s already working.  Take my little sis.  She did not like Batman Begins.  At ALL.  Had no real urge to see TDK and mocked me for being so pumped for it.  A little while after Heath died, she asked me when I was gonna see TDK in IMAX so she could tag along.  I don&#039;t think it&#039;ll be the biggest opening of all time, no.  People must keep in mind the dark tones of this movie.  This isn&#039;t a movie for little kids like Spiderman was, which may take away a fraction of the audience needed to make a movie a beast at the box office, but make no mistake.  This movie is going to be big.  It&#039;s just a matter of how big.</description>

		<description>The sad part about The Dark Knight is that it will probably pull some dissapointing international numbers, like last time.

If TDK is really good, it should at least outperform Batman Begins in box office sales.

By this point, I hope people have forgotten about the pre-Batman Begins movies.

Anyway, what surprises me about Dungeon Siege is that the cast alone is impressive, with a few well known actors and rising stars.

But then again, the fact that Uwe Boll is directing overshadows everything.

Speaking of which, it appears Uwe has had a breakdown, go to the official Postal movie website and read his comment. You&#039;ll see what  mean.</description>
