UPDATED! Matchstick Men and Once Upon a Time in Mexico open today!

[RossMAN]

Hopefully we'll have time to catch both these flicks this weekend

Matchstick Men

Once Upon a Time in Mexico

9/22 Update: We recently saw Matchstick Men and like all Ridley Scott films, I highly recommend you see it. Nicholas Cage and Sam Rockwell did a great job.

Salma Hayek = drool

Words out of my mouth. I've heard quite complementary things about Bill Murray's performance in "Lost in Translation."

Is American Splendor supposed to be good?

Damn Lost in Transition hasn't hit Portland yet even though the release date is today 9/12.

Definately waiting on Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Anyone else notice that Desperado has been on TNT nonstop this last week? Like back-to-back-to-back sometimes...

 

[new2AMD]

Lost in translation opens 9/12 in NY/LA. 9/19 it expands.

American slendor got great reviews. Trailer looks good.

Check it

Depp and Pee Wee Herman were EXCELLENT in Blow.

Depp has been really impressing me lately. From Hell, Chocolat, Fear and Loathing, Sleepy Hollow, Pirates, and now Once Upon... and of course, the Rossman mentioned Blow. he is really smart about picking his projects.

edit: lol, and Rossman, ty for copying my formatting...

yes viper, i saw your other thread, but was a couple days late, already thought you bought it, but i own the Desperado Superbit and recommend it, but I hear the new special edition has a video/audio transfer that rivals that of the Superbit, and is a couple bucks less.

 

[Electric Amish]

I don't know about Matchstick Men.

Definitely want to see Once upon a time in Mexico though...

 

[EvilYoda]

YES! Finally, a good solid movie-weekend for me and my friends! For someone that lives at the movies, I've only seen one movie in the last 2 weeks, that being Dirty Pretty Things!

Maybe we'll moviehop. haven't moviehopped in a while....it'll be like high school all over again.

Blow: Excellent movie and definitely one of Johnny Depp's best...

I definatly want to see Matchstick Men. That looks funny

 

[RossMAN]

Alright what's the big deal with a superbit DVD?

Is it like the HiFi DVD or are those two different formats/enhancements?

"Lost in Translation" in only being released in "select markets". This most likely means the top 10 metro markets.

The good news is that it should be expanding during the next three weeks.

Bill Murray is one of the best.
