So this cropped up recently in another topic and I thought it could make for an interesting subject in its own right. Are there any films that are actually better than the books they're based on?

Interesting. I'm not too knowledgeable about Bond so it's up to you

Mark Kermode (a well-known film critic in the UK) asked this on a podcast a short while ago and it piqued my interest somewhat. What are your picks for best performances in bad movies?

Quentin Tarantino's new film 'Django Unchained' is one of the most anticipated of this year!!! The first official trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s next film, “Django Unchained,” was just released and it’s an all-out hoot. This “Southern,” starring Christopher Waltz, Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio, is a tribute to Spaghetti Westerns with enhanced Tarantino splatter. The trailer opens with Johnny Cash singing Ain’t No Grave (Can Hold My Body Down) from his classic, late American VI album. From the soundtrack and Waltz’s first, arch interaction with Foxx, you know right away that the tone is perfect. In two-and-a-half minutes, Tarantino lays out the story of a slave …

Choose which one you think is the best and give general input if you like . I can also add someone to the list and allow you to change your vote if need be. Remember, this is best in light of the movies you've seen as well as general potential but its your call either way.

As time goes on they Hollywood seems to run out of ideas of what to do for movies and has resorted to just turning tons of books into movies or just remaking ones from the past.... over and over. Today I went to the movies and saw a preview for a remake of Footloose! At first, I thought, "Oh no, not another one." but as it went on I saw it was closer to the musical version than the movie and I thought, "It could be okay, if they do it right." It just got me interested in what all of you guys thought. With all the ones they've done. And are getting ready to do... (I even heard about a possible Dirty Dancing remake ) Should they just leave the classics alone? That's why th…

The first full length trailer for Immortals has finally arrived! Critics weren’t impressed with the teaser, so let’s see if their tune changes after watching this round. This new adventure stars Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Isabel Lucas, Freida Pinto, Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz, John Hurt and Mickey Rourke. I love this cast!

With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions des…
