Manchurian Candidate

[75th]

By far one of the best movies of the year. Meryl Streep will definately break the record getting her 15th Oscar nomination for this one, and with any luck Liev Shrieber will get his first. Very good film.

I don't see why they had to stray from the original film. Either way I'm going to go see it.

Communists really arent as scary these days as major corporations. Just ask T-boy.

True. But the Koreans are bad guys. It would be great propaganda for Bush and Company.

Dubya: My fellow Americans, if you watch the movie Manchurian Candidate, you will see how evil the North Koreans are. They are bad people. They did things to Denzel Washington, who by the way, shares the same name as the capital of the United States.

Not only Denzel, but that cool dude from Shaft. He was tough, too. Went and stabbed himself with an ice pick a few times.

"You best kill me!"

Looks like a good one,wish I had of seen it instead of that POS,"The Village".

What the hell is going on here?

I oppose massive layoffs so executives can give themselves multi-million dollar bonuses, cut service, and rehire at a lower rate. That doesn't really make me anti-corporation...it makes me anti-scumbag executive.


Now where have I been pro communism?


I'm not into communism at all. I'm not really into any standard political philosophy.....just interested in raising the quality of life for the greatest number..........generally speaking.


Why in hell did you mention my name here?


The movie disappointed me a little. Tried to do more than it could and way too many close-ups of the VP/Manchurian candidate. Interesting concept but quite far fetched. Denzel biting out a transponder chip within seconds? Come on orb.

It was just a joke big guy.

I see what you are saying regarding the movie though, but I thought the direction was so tight that you really didnt notice such discrepancies (example: why did Denzel not notice the chip in his shoulder BEFORE he was in that chicks apartment) and even if you do notice them, they are forgivable.

The Original has been one of my faves for years. I can't get excited about the new one. Sorry Denzel.

worst movie of the year!!! Denzel mumbled his way through every line, Liev was so dull- almost comatose. The worst part- watching drugged up American soldiers kill other American soldiers was esp depressing. Just a really bad, downer kind of movie
