So we have two possible explanations:

1. A party girl who isn't shown to be particularly intelligent ends up OD'ing on the drugs she was forced to mule. She slips into an elaborate fantasy about having superpowers as a coping mechanism and makes up some bullshit "10% of your brain" as aher uneducated way of rationalising it

OR....

2. Meth gives you superpowers (kinda want that on a tshirt now )

And you think 2 is less ridiculous?!

I'm not really serious though. The "it was all a dream" thing was a hack cliche before most of us were 10, so yeah, it's a shitty cop out.

That said, I fully expect to enjoy this movie as a fun popcorn flick. The 5th element had a ridiculous premise too (an evil rock must be stopped by love!) but that still turned out awesome. I don't think this will be that good, but I'm willing to give it a chance.

Reminds me of Avatar. I watch the first trailer and think "Oh, this looks like a good flick!" and the more I think about the story and consider it's predictability and obvious stupidity, the more it turns me off. Still haven't seen Cameron's oh so great masterpiece.
I don't care much for J.J. Abrams McGuffin fetish (red spheres anyone?) or Nolans plot holes (the Joker is apparently psychic) but at least their movies don't start to look stupid when the first trailers are out. They're becoming stupid once you saw them. And you had a good time doing it, too.
I'll always prefer the stupidity in hindsight over using 10% of my brain to roll my eyes really, really hard in advance.

It's like Wanted meets Limitless meets The Matrix.

Looks great.

FWIW, The Family, by Luc Besson, was a surprisingly good flick.

Silver Linings Playbook is a pretty darn good flick. Then again, maybe it's because I identify with the characters, being a fucked off asshole myself. (Thank you Bradley Cooper and hot lady from American Battle Royale.)

But, really, I'll always remember him as "Sack" from Wedding Crashers. haha!

That's a good question-I've heard more than a few remixes of this tune it seems but, I'm pretty sure this one is from the soundtrack to the film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120008/soundtrack 1998

There's another album from the flick that's the original score composed by Harry Gregson-Williams.

Irving Aronson and his Commanders-Fav sync from fav film-Pennies From Heaven (one of the few barely watchable Steve Martin flicks...

I'd guess he tried to flick it over the defender and himself and run onto it. As the ball was behind him he had to improvise and such a flick wouldn't especially outlandish - I've done it - but it's certainly easy to get it wrong and over-do it.

@Sagemind, it was behind him. The guy who scored, the ball was behind him - it's downright indecent to score that. If I gave you a thousand goes to do the same, you probably couldn't get the ball to go 5 yards in front of you - never mind get it to sail 40 yards over a goalkeeper's head and under the crossbar.

Holy crap, that was some 80's martial-arts flick final showdown stuff right there

the original godzilla was a horror/monster flick that STILL holds up today.thank god it appears they are taking godzilla back to 'omgimgonnashitmypants" town.

"The other day I saw a film called The Edge, which I regarded as the best thing to come out of Hollywood since The Silence of the Lambs. Perhaps not coincidentally, this flick also starred Anthony Hopkins. In one scene, Hopkins and his co-star, Alec Baldwin, seem in an absolutely hopeless situation, lost in the Arctic, stalked by a hungry bear, without weapons, seemingly doomed. Baldwin collapses, and Hopkins has a magnificent monologue, talking Baldwin out of his despair. The speech runs, roughly, like this: "Did you know you can make fire out of ice? You can, you know. Fire out of ice. Think about it. Fire out of ice. Think. Think."

This riddle has both a pragmatic and symbolic (alchemical) answer. The pragmatic answer you can find in the film, explicitly; and it might prove useful if you ever get lost in the north woods; and the alchemical, or Zen Buddhist, answer is also in the film, implicitly, and only perceptible to those who understand the dense character Hopkins plays in the story. It might prove useful whenever despair seems to overwhelm you. So, to those who at the end of this book still can't understand or sympathize with my Nietzschean yea-saying, I quote again: "Fire out of ice. Think. Think."

Who was that Prometheus guy and why did he give us fire in the first place?"

I thought it was quite good. Not great, but quite good.

That being said, the one thing that I was sure that an "honest trailers" spoof/take on it would include was left out: I lost count of how many times the last propulsive jet before they ran out of thrust in whatever system/mechanism they were using was just enough to get them into "precarious grab, slip and bump off into another precarious grab".

Gorgeous George jets around as carefree as can be -- fetching bolts, unhitched and drifting Sandra ... even the corpse of "man down in the first 5 minutes". He or others talk about how he is going for the record longest spacewalk many times. But then, when they really need it, "oh, sorry, I've just got enough juice left for one more burn".

Same thing repeats for the Soyuz, the Wall-E extinguisher, and conceptually in many other instances.

That is the aspect of the flick that stood out the most for me as begging for a good send-up.

Just watched To's 'Running on Karma, great flick man-Thanks for the suggestions, found my new favorite HK-Action Director for the month!

Was this film any good?

My favorite Hong Kong flick from 2004 is New Police Story.

@dannym3141-=If you check-out that 12.5 min shot from Snake Eyes, the set-up as far as content not only had Cage talking a mile-a-minute, but the entire play-out of the meat of the plot is there, along with all the supporting characters that have to do with the crime being committed during the fight, it's all one cut with maybe one or two undetectable cheats....hard to find one though-It's a piece of work, and the rest of the flick kinna blows.

children of Men-Let me see, like-hate relationship with that film, while the subject matter was cool enough, the thing dragged-on darkly and left me kinna dulled-Have to check that shot you all are digging-on again and maybe it'll change my mind about it being watchable as a film I'd wanna see over and over....As I recall it was kind of an overall dud 4 me personally.

Come now wordsworth, that picture you've painted is worth a thousand harsh critics ....of the glaringly obvious reality of your poignant, yet eloquently simple phrasing!

(We'd throw some'o 'that cotton-candy money over to the carnival midway by the way to actually see that (if it was a twin sister's contortionist act) before we'd spend a DIME on any Transformer's flick!)
