Posted June 8, 200619 yr this is DOA based on the game dead or alive. in keeping with that scary 80s bloke who spun us round at the start of the year this could be a total cheesefest! looking at the trailer i dont think it will it end up as one of the greatest 武俠 wuxia films ever :lol: but it might end up as the greatest guilty pleasure since liking the feeling (or mr lordi on eurovision, perhaps??? for all you non janglepeople out there :yahoo:) [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgiNaq6bcJE.swf so how well do you think the films gonna be? a shocker, a contender for movie of the year? on the plus side its not by Dr. Uwe Boll (or Kurt Wimmer) but Corey Yuen so the fight scenes might be alright (Even though they might miss Jet Li being there!!!). on the downside its produced by Paul W. S. Anderson who might have waved his magic all over the project :lol: (this is taking the universal view that Paul Thomas Anderson is the only paul anderson a film fan should ever need :lol: i actually didnt mind Resident Evil) also on the plus side it's got Devon Aoki from debs and 2 fast, Sarah Carter (below), Jaime Pressly from torque and Earl , and also Emma Robert's dad. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a6/Sarah_carter.jpeg
June 8, 200619 yr Author Well this (amazingly) got 3 stars in empire http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2a/Aquamarine.jpg and this 1 star http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3a/Ultraviolet_poster.jpg so could go either way? i say 3
June 8, 200619 yr I doubt the critics will be allowed to see it. It looks like a c**p version of the "Mortal Kombat" film. I would go so far as to say, probably on a par with the awful "Streetfighter"... :puke2: "Ultraviolet" might be fairly decent, I've got a bit of time for Milla Jovovich, she's about the only model-turned-actress who has a decent acting ability, it's just a shame she doesn't get offered more variety of roles.. Kurt Wimmer? Didn't he do the rather decent "Matrix" meets "Orwellian/Philip K Dick dystopian nightmare" actioner "Equilibrium with the ever excellent Christian Bale...? I'm betting this "Ultraviolet" will not be based on the rather excellent Channel 4 vampire miniseries of the same name with Jack Davenport that was made about a decade back....

Yeah Kurt Wimmer did do that equilibrium. mentioned him as ultraviolet is supposed to utter garbage. Think its rated about 3.7 at imdb. with one user saying its Like a German techno video with badly translated Japanese one-liners for dialogue... only less coherent then again aquamarine got a similar bad score at imdb but 3 in empire so it could be a target for the anti-gun kata mob (well if theres a campaign to get a certain high flying movie with a lot of snakes in to the top 100 all time it could work the other way round :lol: ) however this has sold it 2 me!!! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/Ultravioletnewpic.jpg

June 8, 200619 yr Author "Ultraviolet" might be fairly decent, I've got a bit of time for Milla Jovovich, she's about the only model-turned-actress who has a decent acting ability, it's just a shame she doesn't get offered more variety of roles.. also her album is supposed to be 10 times better than jojo, the duffs, li-lo etc. esp. if you like kate bush i believe
June 8, 200619 yr also her album is supposed to be 10 times better than jojo, the duffs, li-lo etc. esp. if you like kate bush i believe Yeah, I heard some of it. It's very odd, hard to put into a specific genre, so I suppose that's why it's not been very successful... :lol: She's done some work with Danny Lohner (NIN, A Perfect Circle) as well, and has a song on the "Underworld" soundtrack album - a strange, odd little dark ballad called "Rockets Collecting".... She's cool, I like her, she does her own thing and doesn't conform to the stereotype of a model who 'branches out' into other pursuits - of course, she was cutting demos when she was 12, so I guess music is her first love really....
June 8, 200619 yr Author She's cool, I like her, she does her own thing and doesn't conform to the stereotype of a model who 'branches out' into other pursuits - like shaggijng james blunt :lol: :lol: :lol:
June 8, 200619 yr like shaggijng james blunt :lol: :lol: :lol: Hmmm, well, that could be put down to a slip of good judgment.... :lol:
July 10, 200619 yr Author Yeah, I read that... :lol: I've got a bad feeling this is gonna be another pile of poo like "Aeon Flux".... it was
July 28, 200618 yr Author holly would look so hot if it wasn't for the bad bleach job. YIKES! i like her with dark hair, very much
August 29, 200618 yr Author Yeah, I read that... :lol: I've got a bad feeling this is gonna be another pile of poo like "Aeon Flux".... Empire gives it 2 stars
September 13, 200618 yr Author Coming to you cinema on Friday!!!! get the popcorn and leave yo brain at the door me finks!!! :lol: :lol:
September 14, 200618 yr Looks like a pile of sh!t.... :puke2: Too many other good films out this week for me to bother with this - "The Queen", "Black Dahlia" and "Invonvienient Truth" are gonna be my films for this weekend....
September 19, 200618 yr Author Looks like a pile of sh!t.... :puke2: it had the opportunity to be an ultra giddy cheesefest to the standard of charlies angels and at the beginning it looked like it was going that way. however after you see Holly (and her amazing airbrushed nipples :lol: :lol: ) and all the others it got boring at the doa base. especially at the point where it was nodding towards Zhang Yimou's house of flying daggers (staring andy lau and ziyi zhang :wub: ) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9c/Zhangziyihero.jpg the fight sceens were ok for the people involved, but not a patch on something like Jet Li's Fearless which is of a similar concept http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4a/Fearless_film.jpg maybe if it was made in HK sometime between 1984 and 1993 and featured a bad dub on the dvd (one that was funny, well it would get rid of holly's accent :lol: ). then maybe it would have been an all time cheesey classic. Instead i think might have to stick with something like City Hunter instead :lol:
