Probably not. I'm sure I'll see it at some point, though.
Anyone going to see Batman V. Superman when it comes out (four days!)?

Same here, I think we'll see it in theaters, just not right away.
I'm not! I'm not a big superhero fan (no offense)

no offense taken.

I prefer Marvel to DC (DC is always so dark) but Batman V Superman looks like it's gonna be pretty good (plus its got Wonder Woman

)

DC is always so dark

Literally - I saw a trailer on tv with a Ben Affleck interview. It was so dark, you could hardly see what was happening....

Rented a DVD last night, a western: Forsaken. This was released to theaters 2/19 and was scheduled for disk release on 2/29, but bumped to 2/19. Never heard of it? Me neither, until I read an interview with one of the actors in the "Cowboys & Indians" magazine, which does nice bits on upcoming western-genre movies by well-known stars. I was a little trepedatious considering how I had been suckered into viewing "Bone Tomahawk," a movie that I cannot unsee the grisly parts of the last 20 minutes of the film.

Anyway, this movie -- Forsaken -- is REALLY, REALLY good. A good old-fashioned western starring Kiefer Sutherland and his dad Donald in son/father roles. The frosting on the cake is the character Gentleman Dave, the likes of which we haven't seen or enjoyed since Val Kilmer did Doc Holiday in Tombstone. The villians are sufficiently greasy, the characters well-developed, and the plot plausible and progresses nicely. Demi Moore appears as the love interest. Nice Canadian scenery.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've never been a "fan" of westerns but I bought a HUGE pile of VHS tapes and there are a lot of westerns in the titles. Really good ones, ones that won oscars and starring really good casts. With all the complete rubbish on TV, I'm looking forward to watching them. My view about westerns "not being my thing" has changed....

You had me when you mentioned Donald Sutherland. He could make a movie about washing dishes and I could watch it. I can just see him in a western.

I'll look out for it. Thanks again.

Thanks peep, never heard of it either, going to check it out, love westerns... Tater chip, Peeps, have you seen 'Ambush At Dark Canyon' with Kix Brooks from Brooks and Dunn country band? I thought it was a excellent movie.

I watched it on Netflix.

Has anyone seen "Allegiant" yet?

Nope, but I'm probably going to see it this Tuesday. I honestly have very low expectations for it though. :/ The trailer barely seems to follow the plot of the book.

 

[Peep_Show]

Thanks, Beer Can. I've added "Ambush, etc" to the view list.

I thing I genuinely dislike is a bait and switch. Such is the case with the latest Bruce Willis movie, Extraction. This is not a Bruce Willis movie! He gets kidnapped at the very beginning of the film and wraps the plot up at the conclusion, but the film is a vehicle for the co-stars Kellan Lutz and Gina Carano, two CIA operatives working different angles on the same objective together. Both DH and I commented on the camera editing and found it kind of jerky. And the conclusion is presented so hurriedly that it is kind of hard to follow.

All in all, rather dissatisfying. Darn!

OMG! I had no idea! That's what I get for not paying attention and for not logging in to BYC for an extended period!
