Well he is British. It's genetic with many of those folks.

I have never seen the movie, but my Brother-in-law, who liked the movie, described it as, a homosexual's view of straight life.

David.

LOL, I gotta remember that.

True, I just wish they'd keep it to themselves. I'm not a filmmaker, but if I were, I'm pretty sure I'd keep my politics to myself when making movies.

Yes! Bullseye.

Here's a new one: Paul W. Anderson. What do you guys think of him?

You mean Paul WS Anderson? The guy who did Death Race, Event Horizon, and the Mortal Kombat?

He does a decent job of game adaptations. I'll admit a lot of his movies are fun to watch.

I have a long list of directors.
But I must say that I enjoy works of directors who know all aspects of moviemaking.

Michael Mann
Jim Jarmusch
Paul Thomas Anderson
Coen Brothers
Francis Ford Coppola
Martin Scorcese
Ridley Scott
David Fincher
Paul Greengrass
Steven Soderbergh

The list goes on.

The main reason why these directors are very good at what they are doing is not just because they know everything there is to know about moviemaking (the camera, screenplay, photography, sound, editing etc.) but also they always work with the same film crew. And they do their homework. They do extensive research which in my opinion is the most important part of moviemaking. I could make exceptions. Sure.

There are also certain directors who make films when they feel like it. Such as Frank Darabont or Terrence Malick, director of The Thin Red Line. That was a wonderful film. I recommend you see it if you haven't already.

Chris Nolan is good.. He's getting there. He added realism to the Batman franchise and I enjoyed it.

As for Michael Bay.
In my opinion, Michael Bay is a spoiled brat. He is that rich kid you know from high school who has a Porsche. He was born into money. What did he make before "Bad Boys"? He makes movies full of destructions. Something explodes every 5 minutes.
That is not movie making.
I'd like to see if Michael Bay can make a low budget movie. And I know he can't. He couldn't afford all the explosives and cgi.

James Cameron is a decent director but I consider him more of a filmmaker than a director. And there is a difference between the two. He is very creative. Amazing imagination. Very much like George Lucas.

I enjoyed watching "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford". The director's name is Andrew Dominik. He is fairly new but he knows what he is doing. See his work. You might like it.

An occasional explosion is okay in a movie, but an explosion every five goddamn minutes gets really annoying. The guy ain't a movie maker. He's just an idiot.

Here's one: David Cronenberg. What do you guys think of him?

I've only see Fly, A History of Violence and Eastern Promises by this guy. Good movies, except no role can make Jeff Goldblum not this stale actor

But the guy has gotten Viggo Mortensen an Oscar nod.

That's because Viggo is an awesome actor. After Lord of the Rings, he had nothing but good roles.

It is a rule that if Viggo Mortensen stars in it, even if it's a mundane part, it can't suck.

I know. Have you seen The Road? Boring as hell without Viggo.

For what it's worth, IMDB reports that the estimated budget for Bad Boys (his first movie) was about 10 million. Don't know what your definition of low-budget is, but $10,000,000 nowadays will barely buy you a decent advertising campaign, never mind funding for a film.

And Bad Boys was good. He's spoiled because he has a huge budget to play with. Cut the budget, and suddenly you can't mask poor writing and wooden acting with `splosions.

(Really, $10 million? With two big, albeit at the time, television stars, nice gunplay and a nice car chase? I'm impressed.)

Well, according to wikipedia, Bad Boys I was made in $19,000,000 of 1995 USD. How much would that be worth now, adjusted for inflation? I'm sure you'd come up with a better sum than $10,000,000.

$26,488,590.52. It only goes to 2009, but I don't think that much has changed in 2 years.

What do you guys think of Edward Zwick?

The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond, Defiance, The Siege.

They were some good movies.

I only wanted to see his movie Love and Other Drugs just to see Anne Hathaway's boob.

Why not just use the internet? It'd take alot less time

yeah celebritymoviearchive was made for a reason

I think you would get better views in the movie Havoc...plus she was younger.

Yes, but she isn't a total slut in Love and Other Drugs.

Shes hot in any movie, old or new. But yeah ill just google around instead of watching 2 hour moives i dont care about.

I watched a clip from Brokeback Mountain where she goes topless. Her breasts are perky and nice.

That clip is the only part of that movie ill watch.

That's like saying you watch Jersey Shore for the social commentary.

Or saying I dont watch jersey shore, at all.

Neither of these are correct. There are boobs in Brokeback Mountain, which is the only part worth seeing. There is NO social commentary in Jersey Shore, and even if there was, not watching the show at all would not be the same thing.

Here's another one: Wes Anderson (I personally love The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

Johnnie To. I you love badass gunfights that last more than 20 seconds and happen more than once in a movie (unlike most action movies), watch his films

I am now a fan of Bryan Singer. I saw X-Men when I was four years old and one of my favorite films of his is The Usual Suspects. What do you guys think of him?

I remember the first X-men movie back when I was starting high school. Actually I think I was in 8th grade, but...wait, 4 years old Swordfish? Now every time I reply to you, I suddenly feel like an old man.

I was born in '95. I'm 16 now.

I remembered when I was 16...I stole the passwords to every teacher's school login account, punched the biggest kid in my class in the kidney - causing him to cry, kissed my first girlfriend, had sex with my girlfriend, became the school's "information guy", started actually liking guns, and got my first real live sword....all and all, a typical Tuesday.

Anyway, have you seen Bryan Singer's work other than X-Men?

Aside from The Usual Suspect? I actually like Valkyrie.

Valkyrie was pretty good. What do you think of X-Men: First Class (Singer is producing this one while Matthew Vaughn is directing).
