Originally posted by Matt View Postthen he's due for another one. I know that some people claim that 'Event Horizon' is his masterpiece...those people are frickin' nuts, but whatever. I didn't hate 'Resident Evil' or 'AVP' (so sue me) but I won't claim that they're great movies either. They turn a profit, though...that enables him to keep swinging the bat, and one of these days he's gonna hit a legitimate home run.
I don't get the Event love either."Looking like Nic Cage dressed in Kurt Cobain's closet. I mean that as a compliment" - BillyG

He can make competently shot films, can direct actors competently (seriously, getting Drunkie Chan to speaka English AND wrangling Chris Tucker can't be easy), and even knows how to shoot tense moments (Red Dragon's finale was well composed if nothing else).
Give him some credit. Just because fanboys piss on him for trollish reasons, he's got chops and knows his market. He's one of the better new(ish) journeyman directors out there.
Never say never in that business. Zemeckis used to direct people for chrissake.Last edited by Captain Russ; 03-25-2011, 03:15 PM.Me quick one want slow

Kevin Reynolds. The same thing with 'The Count of Monte Cristo'.
Nobody sets out to pull a PRODUCERS and make a shitty movie. Some don't care about the quality, they just want to turn a profit...fine, but they don't make a shitty movie on purpose. You keep trying, you keep honing your craft, and hopefully the stars align in such a way that everything goes RIGHT. When that happens, even the most mediocre of people can achieve greatness. I mean, look at Ed!Originally posted by MartinWho the fuck is Kellan Lutz?Originally posted by gravediggerBasically what I'm saying is that, based on what I've watched so far, we should all listen to Matt more often.Originally posted by MartinAnd who the FUCK is Peaches Geldof?
