I don't recall much myself other than Death Wish on March 2.

OONJ was interested in Hellboy.


What else?

If it is anywhere near Enchanted, I'll need to watch.

And the Han Solo prequel.

That seems like a trick question. It is the third installment of the Cloverfield series.
It takes place on a Space Station.

That was Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the John Goodman one.

Okay, I took a look at your list of 2018 movies; here's what I like:

Alita: Battle Angel - sci-fi, girls kicking but...I'm there!
Death Wish with Bruce Willis, I'll give it a shot
Hellboy: Again sci-fi, I'm there
Euphoria: Looks promising, plus Alicia Vikander
Han Solo - fingers crossed that it doesn't suck
Tomb Raider: Alicia Vikander, is there any other reason?
Deadpool: Well, the firstone was great, plus more Morena


I'm adding the Incredibles and Ready Player One.

As for the rest of the list: Jury's still out.

It probably was a trick question just because of how weird the 2nd movie was in relation to the 1st movie. I guess what I mean to say is that I hope that the 3rd one is just as strangely related to the first two.

I thought Winstead was really good. I don't really know her from anything else other than Fargo, and I didn't even realize once while watching Fargo that it was the same person and was kind of shocked when I looked up the cast on IMDB and found out that I'd seen her in something else before. She does seem to have a good range from the two things I've seen her in.

Methinks you overlooked Disenchanted.
I agree with hoping Will won't suck.
I had not yet looked up Ready Player One, but it looks good. More of McKensie Grace. You must be familiar with Hannah, from Black Mirror? And she's in Tomb Raider as well.

---

Quote:

---

Wide range would be an understatement. Early on she was John McClanes daughter in Die Hard 4, memorable in Death Proof, SuperHero in Sky High, then in Scott Pilgrim, and remake of The Thing. You likely missed Braindead last year on CBS.
I don't recall being disappointed with her performances yet, and she is always a draw for me.
In 2018 she has All About Nina. Not much info, but also has Melonie Diaz so I plan to see it.

It's an absolute must see. I guaranty that there is no possible way that you will not like it.

Even the "mediocre" ones are pretty damn good, and the ones that nail it are damn near perfection in my book. Different people seem to gravitate toward different episodes, so it's funny that ones that I put at the bottom of my list are on the top of other people's list.

I haven't seen the 4th season yet, but I'd say that 2 of the 7 that Netflix put out last year are probably better than any Hollywood movie that came out in 2016.

Did you ever hear the story about that? I wonder if we'll ever get a cut of the movie that removes the CG effects and shows the practical effects. I'd rewatch it then, and I probably would be a lot more impressed with it.

As I recall, MEW was the ONLY, and I mean ONLY reason I went to see Scott Pilgrim, and I could hardly recognize her. But I was glad she got exposure among the fanboys.

The Kurt Russel remake of The Thing was the last film I saw before shipping off to Boot Camp, and also one of the first I saw after Boot Camp. I am not sure if I would have watched the 2011 remake if she wasn't in it. I was satisfied with her performance, but the film overall seemed old hat.

MEW is filming The Parts You Lose this month, unknown release date.

If you haven't seen Death Proof, her performance there really impressed me. Another Kurt Russell film. You heard that film spawned all of the Machete films?
She was adorable in Sky High, although I somehow missed that in cinema. Another Kurt Russell film.
I don't think I have seen Make It Happen.

I just noticed she is no longer married.

I think you mentioned Death Proof before. That went over my head. I only saw it years ago when it came out as Grindhouse. IMDB separates them now too... did they get separate releases at a later date then?

I remember loving Death Proof when I saw it with my brother and both of us laughing our ass off at all the intentional cheesiness like the ridiculous jump cuts, and that part at the end of the movie where they mercilessly beat the shit out of him. I really don't remember anything about the movie other than it was a total against type character for Russel. I didn't even know that she was in that one. That was likely the first time I ever saw her.

Given the subject matter of Death Proof, I was going to ask you how old MEW was, but I just looked it up on IMDB. She's a lot older than I thought she was. Good genes. Didn't they all play high schoolers in Scott Pilgrim lol.

SGG, I am sorry for the confusion. There is a Black Mirror thread around here and I had thought you were one of those who've discussed it.
I have not seen it, and don't really recall Hannah from her other works I have seen.

Death Proof was not in cinema separately from Grindhouse. Not sure about DVDs. I mention them separately to reduce confusion because many sources list them separately. For me, the most memorable shot was the audible gulp, done by MEW with nobody else in frame. Did you remember the intentionally cheezy trailer for a fake film? That was for Machete, a film never intended to be made, until fans clamoured for it, and then became the first nude scenes for Jessica Alba and Lindsey Logan and seems to have revived the career of Don Johnson.

MEW was still a teen for Wolf Lake, with Mia Kirshner and Graham Greene. I think I first noticed her in Ring 2, which was about the only thing I noticed in that film. All of the title characters of Sky High were supposed to be High Schoolers, and she would have been 20-21 during filming, which I believe was her first Kurt Russell related work.

Not to worry, I'm not offended. Like I said, I heard good things. During the summer, after the TV season is over, I will take a look. Binge Time!

It's how I got hooked onto Orphan Black. I heard about the show, but more in particular about actress Tatiana Maslany, who plays the lead role in the show. I gave it a one episode tryout and I was hooked.......but good! By then there was 3 seasons and when I finished those the 4th became available. The only thing was that it was so good that I devoured it before season 5 even started (Oct. 2017).

Anyway, now it should be finished, so I'm going to go and check it out. It's the type of show you want to watch binge style. It's that good.

I agree, both on it being against type and being a good movie. It's another one I have largely forgotten over the years and it doesn't stick in my craw like a lot of movies Russel has been in, but I found it enjoyable.

I'll have to watch Death Proof again. I wasn't really a fan of the other half of Grindhouse though... was it called Planet Terror?

Oh... I'm a big Kurt Russel fan. I haven't seen all of his movies though. I've never not liked him in anything I've seen him in.

Escape from NY and LA were freaking great... I think I liked NY better overall, but the ending of LA is one of the best movie endings of all time in my book. As I said before, The Thing is one of my all time favorite movies. I really liked Stargate and Executive Decision. I thought it was hilarious how Steven Segal died right away in that one. Backdraft was really good, but I haven't seen that one since I was a kid and it came out. I've never seen Dreamer or Miracle before, and I don't think I've seen Silkwood. I don't know who Dexter Riley is, so not sure about those.

I actually hadn't seen it again until I was around 22 or so when the Sci Fi channel was showing it commercial free except for a few plugs for the "new" XBox game of the same title that was coming out shortly. I was freakin' amazed at how well the special effects had held up and that's when I realized how much better practical effects were than CGI in almost all cases.

I've never seen or heard most of the other ones you've mentioned before The Thing, but I do know what Miracle is.

I actually made a few jokes on the RWED boards when the "But Russia!" stuff started last year. I remember asking something along the lines of "Hasn't Russia not been a thing since Kurt Russel coached the US Hockey team to dominate them?"

Maybe I'll check out some of his older works. Thanks for the recommendations.

The rest of the movie had its ups and downs, but there was a lot of really funny parts in it and it's something me and my brother still quote today.

Cool... Marisa Coughlan is back for the sequel? I'm glad they did that since she's probably like 40 now. I figured they'd just replace her with some one line explanation about how it didn't work out and have some 20 year old bombshell in the role. Has she even been in anything since ST? I don't watch stuff... I wouldn't know.
