Second Chance Movies

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Remade as "City of Angels".

"Movies that have been remade with Nicholas Cage' could be a thread all its own.

(but probably not a good one)

The bad thing about Cage is that he has some great movies but they are a side dish to his movie Whoring of awful proportions as a main dish.

The fact he was strongly considered for Superman in the late 90's is hilarious... And I wish it came to be.

Traffic.

 

Hated it coming out of the theater to the point that swore off of Soderbergh movies for a few years.  Watched it out of boredom a few years back and its actually worthy of all of the praise that it got.

Ooh, good subject:

 

• The Bourne Identity - Was bored to tears when I saw it in theaters, obviously love it now. I think part of the reason is the sound in the theater was calibrated for a much larger audience than was actually there, and every gunshot just about shattered my eardrums. Soured my mood.
• The Hobbit - I was totally underwhelmed by it in theaters.  I've watched it 3 times since I bought it on Blu Ray.
• Sin City - I friggin' loved that movie in college. But certain lines, and little things about it stuck out in my head. And after rewatching it a few more times, I've since realized how bad it is. I mean it's truly atrocious. Mainly I get hung up on how contrived the writing is. The dialogue sounds like what a 13-year old weakling would say into the mirror as he imagines some hypothetical street fight scenario. I also hate anyone who has, "Worth dying for. Worth killing for. Worth going to hell for." as one of their favorite quotes. Seriously, if you like this movie, go back and rewatch it now. really listen to Bruce Willis' opening monologue and how bad it sounds read aloud. Pay attention to how pitiful every female character sounds. Pay attention to how every male character whose supposed to be a real badass guy sounds like an internet tough guy. Also, pay attention to the blonde chick who pals around with Marv (I forget her name): that chick has restless eyebrow syndrome. They are the busiest eyebrows I've ever seen, and it's really off-putting.

"Black Snake Moan"- I thought it was alright the first time but liked it even more the second time I watched it.

 I thought Skyfall was the worst Bond movie ever. Even over Octopussy.

 

Go watch again...cinematography, music is incredible.

 

Give it a "second chance"

Lucky Number Slevin is now one of my favorites, it was ok the 1st time, its great now...

 

 

 

I never hear people mention that movie and you're right, it's great...

I second Napolean Dynamite. It was horrible the first time but the 2nd time after i accepted the stupid it was pretty hilarious.

Batman and Robin. Was alright when I was little ,but now my dear god the awful puns and special effects its one of the worst i've ever seen ever.

I don't think a hundred chances could make that movie better.
