Harry Potter brings more details:
Director: Stephen SommersWriter: Stuart Beattie (screenplay) and David Elliot (screenplay) & Paul Lovett (screenplay), Michael Gordon (story) (as Michael B. Gordon) and Stuart Beattie (story) & Stephen Sommers (story)
geektyrant@gmail.com (GeekTyrant) sees it this way:
Eric Ditzian suggests:If Green Day pushes forward with a glammed-up rock opera/coming-of-age tale based on “American Idiot,†here’s how we’d like to see it shake out:
In addition to this, Rene Rodriguez states:
The device gives the picture the bittersweet quality of a memory you look back on with fondness and regret, the way you might think back on The One Who Got Away: You might wish it had turned out differently, but you re glad it happened anyway.
In contrast, Brian Szczerbinski replies:
Do steroid users deserve to be in baseball s Hall of Fame? Rickey Henderson , Jim Rice , and Joe Gordon are in the National Baseball Hall of Fame . Pete Rose is still out . And Hank Aaron believes steroid users should be admitted into the Hall of Fame but with an asterisk next to their name.
In contrast, Joe Bardi replies:
The supporting cast is strong as well, with Geoffrey Arend and Matthew Gray Gubler ably playing Tom’s guy friends, and Chloe Moretz (from ABC’s short-lived Dirty Sexy Money ) as Tom’s young sister who also happens to have all of life’s answers. All three actors look more like real people than Hollywood stars, and that gives the film a realism it would have lacked with overly pretty people in the roles. In the end, Tom’s soul searching goes on for a bit too long (wouldn’t 400 days of Summer have been equally effective?), but by the time the seasons finally change you’re likely to be plenty enchanted.
Before going any further, Joe Bardi wants to get this straight:

Desta Bishu imagines that:
Meanwhile, newly married star Channing Tatum explained how his position as an opinionless patriot nearly prevented his involvement â€" until he read the script, and realized that what Sommers and Paramount were trying to do was create a military strike-force movie, without the military:
dpoland sees it this way:

They basically advertised "this movie is terrible, but in a fun way... now give us your $10 per ticket plus refreshments and babysitter money!" "No thanks." said 95% of normal moviegoers who don't relish knowingly watching terrible films in theaters just to laugh at them. And of course, the thing ended up with 69% on Rotten Tomatoes. I'm sure Roger Ebert would have loved it. Had they just sold it as a campy, fun horror picture that simply delivers the goods in high style (and had they just screened the darn thing), they might have actually made $50 million on the picture.
But Harry Potter says that's not all:

dpoland imagines that:
Posted by: jeffmcm at July 29, 2009 03:28 PM Oh, and one thing interesting about The Mummy 3 is that it demonstrated a very clear difference between Rob Cohen-brand awfulness and Stephen Sommers-brand terribility. Maybe it's just personal taste, but the Cohen version seemed so much more bland and impersonal and factory-produced than even the weakest Sommers movie (which would be Van Helsing).
For this purpose, Rene Rodriguez suggests:
Since his TV sitcom days on 3rd Rock From the Sun , Gordon-Levitt has appeared primarily in edgy, dramatic films ( The Lookout, Mysterious Skin ), but his lack of comedic experience is a boon, making Tom seem all that more honest and endearing as he clumsily feels his his way through the first serious relationship of his life. The luminous Deschanel, so often cast as the light that changes a man s life ( All the Real Girls, Yes Man ), allows us to understand and sympathize with Summer, even though the film never stops to explain her (this is Tom s story, not hers).
dpoland comes with the facts:
Posted by: Joe Straat at July 29, 2009 10:21 PM There are some cool things in THE MUMMY: Jerry Goldsmith's lovely, rousing score; the pulp, elegiac moment with aviator Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay); and the scene with Fraser slicing a horde of mummies in one nicely choreographed take. Most of the film is way too arch, but it plays like a hi-tech Universal 30's adventure film.
While it may be true, Rene Rodriguez thinks:
The device gives the picture the bittersweet quality of a memory you look back on with fondness and regret, the way you might think back on The One Who Got Away: You might wish it had turned out differently, but you re glad it happened anyway.
dpoland is rather skeptical:
Posted by: Geoff at July 29, 2009 11:27 PM Wow - Badham even directed "Bingo Long's Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings," which I actually quite like. Just going over his IMDB listings, it seems that he's been working pretty much non-stop in episodic television for the past half-decade and did a slew of TV-movies before that. I saw "The Jack Bull" and liked it quite a bit, but really haven't seen a lot of the other post-"Nick of Time" stuff. But wow, I remember when "American Flyers" seemed to be a cable staple. Probably have seen five minutes of that thing in a hundred different contexts, but never seen the whole flick in one sitting.
Still being unsure, dpoland asks:
Posted by: Wrecktum at July 29, 2009 04:29 PMHere's the deal with Sienna Miller - she stinks. She maybe hot to some, but she can act only in comparison to Cindy Crawford or Kathy Ireland. She's the poster girl for Agency Hardsell and has no business toplining any studio film.
While it may be true, geektyrant@gmail.com (GeekTyrant) thinks:
Armstrong told the Associated Press : I thought American Idiot had a lot in common with something like Rocky Horror Picture Show . It would great to see a film made out of it someday too.
Harry Potter considers that:
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra is set ten years in the future and chronicling the rise of the Cobra Organization. It also revolves around Duke and Ripcord s introduction to the elite G.I. Joe team, and follows the team from the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps as they fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the Cobra in plunging the world into chaos.
