I loved that one. So refreshing and original. I didn't know he directed Resurrection, and only 4 years earlier.My favorite Jeunet movie, incidentally, was his next: Amelie.

I watched the first hour of the new Road House flick last night and the first thing that occurred to me was, shouldn't this maybe be in theatres? Or did that already happen and I simply missed it. I'm a Gyllenhaal fan for sure, loved him in Darko and Jarhead, yet this film ehhh....it simply doesn't compare with the Swayze version, it's not even close. Granted I've only seen the first hour yet I'm unsure how the last hour will be a vast improvement. Has anyone else seen this yet?
Bro, I haven't even seen Dune part 1 yet. Maybe I can do a marathon session for both once they're both on streaming.Why hasnt anyone seen Dune part 2 yet? WTF is wrong with u guys?
Do it. They're fucking quality.Bro, I haven't even seen Dune part 1 yet. Maybe I can do a marathon session for both once they're both on streaming.
I've never heard of the original, but I did see about 20 min of this remake, and Gyllenhaal is so charming. I think it's gonna be a light ride that I'm gonna enjoy.I wrapped up Road House last night and yeah, I was taught that if you've nothing good to say about something, keep quiet. So the setting in the Florida Keys was lovely, I've been there and would easily relocate. Also it was nice to see the lead bloke from Mayans finding another gig, yet his demise was something quite unusual, to say the least. The lead actor seemed for the most part to be acting like someone suffering from a serious head injury, perhaps that was intentional due to the backround he had as a character, I'm not sure. Stick with the original film with Pat Swayze, it's far better.
You should watch the original. It's great in its own weird way. It's one of those films that had people reciting lines from it for years.I've never heard of the original, but I did see about 20 min of this remake, and Gyllenhaal is so charming.

In a just world there is only one (or maybe we'll give #2 a pass).In the mean time, how many ghostbuster movies are there?
I haven't seen Frozen Empire yet but Afterlife was way better than I expected and the 2016 reboot was way better than everyone led me to believe it'd be. I though it was entertaining and decently funny.In a just world there is only one (or maybe we'll give #2 a pass).
In reality there are FIVE.
- One of the greatest movies of the 80s.
- The sequel to that, and ultimately second best of the franchise
- The 2016 terrible reboot that is better left unmentioned.
- 'Afterlife' which trots out the original cast at the end for a feel good moment that the film didn't deserve
- Frozen Empire
Road House might seem cringy if you go in expecting it to be realistic, plus keep in mind it was released in 1989. Don't try to take it too seriously and you'll probably enjoy it.Then I'll give the original Road House a shot. But unfortunately, Patrick Swayze is at a big disadvantage. I was never too fond of him as an actor, and always associated him with the cringy movies like Dirty Dancing and Ghost. But I'll give it a shot.
I'm surprised to hear the newer film is even less serious than the original. It must be borderline parody.Finished the 1989 version. It was decent. It definitely took itself more seriously than the new version. And, I guess a product of its age, is the quite long-winded final act. The classic hunt of the protagonist as he wades through all the ranks until he gets to the boss. That part was way too long or didn’t age too well, by modern standards.
I think I mean more that most of the time Gyllenhaal's character doesn't take almost anyone seriously, since he can easily best most of them. So he's always overly friendly with them.I'm surprised to hear the newer film is even less serious than the original. It must be borderline parody.
