The Wicker Man
 

So I just rented the DVD The Wicker Man and you know what, it was pretty good. The ending threw me for a loop since it's not what I expected at all.

I'm a big Nick Cage fan, how about you?

Going to watch the alt endings later tonight and see how those turn out. Very strange movie but worth the few bucks to rent.

:thumbsup :2 cents:

i want to see it as well....i am also seeking high and low for a copy of glen gary glen ross

Nicholas Cage plays the exact same role for every film. He does it well, though. Indeed.

good I will check it out

Oh man! I just saw that movie the other week :) I love that movie. I was able to pick it up at blockbuster and then quickly made a back up on my computer, shhh, don't tell ;)


"This watch costs more than your car"

"what's my name...FUCK YOU thats my name!"

lol, what a great movie :thumbsup

I heard the original was better than this remake. Can anybody confirm this?

Seen it, not bad

I heard it was terrible.. will have to check it out though. The IMDB rating doesn't look promising.

for sure,i saw the original before the new one. Original is far better movie. Just see that one n' skip Cage's movie.

Ok I watched it the other day. Mildly entertaining at best then at the end your like "What The Fuck Just Happened - How Fucking Stupid" Tops my list for worst movie of 2006.

It was filmed about a couple of miles from where I live and we also have the wickerman festival here

the original that is

Check the original...

The Wicker Man!!! never herd of it. I'll check it out.

yeah it's good! just feel bad for Nicolas Cage
so you guys, learn from this stuff!

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

havent seen that movie but im a fan of cage

I'll go get it for later on tonight

I loved the original, but haven't bothered with this one yet.

Imho, everything got explained too much, made it a bit dumbening.

But when Cage started kicking and punching women, it was so unexpected and unseen that everyone started laughing in the theatre... that really made the movie worth seeing... end was also good and unexpected, but should have ended it with the burning wickerman scene... the club scene at the end kinda ruined it for me...

Original Rocks - Remake sucks.

iron maiden yeaaaaaaaaah :)

Loved the orginal, the remake is passable, not as bad as the critics and movie geeks make it sound, but not really that good either...entertaining for Nic Cage's over the top acting though...

Were we watching the same movie? 30 minutes into the movie i knew he was getting setup, was a huge dissapointment and i would recommend it to anyone

great film . . try amazon

Actually, I watched the unrated version first without knowing it so it wasn't until later that night when I put in in again to see the so called alt ending that I found out that I had watched the good version first. The club scene was a bit goofy but after watching both versions it makes sense.

But yeah, really unexpected ending for sure, not what I thought would happen at all.

it was pretty stupid but entertaining

It was bizzare a bit but thank god someone has done a movie that doesn't follow the trend for a change

it sucked,
but that explains the story on how he becomes ghost rider

Yes, a thousand times better. If i was richer, I would pay you to see the original. Its absolutely awesome. The remake made me cry inside because of the people saying "wow this is such a good movie" when i was watching it with them, and it was so utterly crappish compared with the original.

Kinda like how i felt when i saw the american version of The Ring two days after seeing the original version and people were praising the american version.

Or when people were telling me what a fantaboulous masterpiece The Matrix was, philosophically, and that #2 and #3 was so much better than #1.

Quite a good film.

Cage is a douchebag, and wicker man was widely heralded as the worst movie of the year.

I dug it, it's not anything like you would expect.

Cheers for remaking a unique concept.

:thumbsup

i wouldnt call it unique, i would call it shitty if anything..... but i was entertained, didnt feel like a total waste of time

Yes I can confirm this.

Where were all the songs in the remake??

damn, i have a lot of movies to catch up....

Nicholas Cage is the best actor ever!

I don't like films very much but he is doing his jobe realy good..

saw it last sept at fandangos - pretty decent movie
