I made it 20 min before I turned it off. The acting was awful and dialog confusing. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I almost turned it off about that time as well but friends had told me it's a great movie so I plowed through it thinking it would get better |

Joss Whedon Fanboy picture.  Filming took place in Vancouver, British Columbia from March to May 2009 on an estimated budget of $30 million three years before its release. The film was originally slated for release on February 5, 2010, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and United Artists, but was indefinitely shelved due to financial difficulties. In 2011, Lionsgate picked up the distribution rights. The film was released in the United States on 13 April, 2012, only weeks before the 4 May, 2012 release of the Avengers.Joss Whedon also directed The Avengers. Basically, they were lucky to get Chris Hemsworth before he signed a 7 picture deal to play Thor in the Marvel movies. |

Drew Goddard, co-writer and Director of Cabin in the Woods also wrote and directed last fall’s Bad Times at the El Royale. It was a box office disappointment, but I suspect it will gain a following as time goes on and people discover it. Chris Hemsworth is also in Bad Times at the El Royale, so he must have enjoyed his experience on Cabin in the Woods. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Finally saw The Mexican, 2001. It was an entertaining film, except Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt had zero chemistry on the screen. Luckily for 80% of the movie they were apart. Biggest mistake, they killed off the most interesting character, James Gandolfini as a Gay hit man, halfway through the movie. They took a lot of time building a bonding relationship between him and the Roberts character, then BLAM, they kill him with no warning or fanfare. Stupid. Great cast, JK Simmons, Bob Balaban (does he ever play a good guy),and Gene Hackman at the end. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Rotten Tomatoes counted 248 positive reviews to 24 negatives ones. I liked the movie myself, but I enjoy movies that make fun of the horror genre in inventive ways. I loved "Shaun of the Dead".
The movie made $66 million box office worldwide, which barely covered it's $30 million budget. That is about 5 million tickets sales in USA and Canada. So it was not a popular movie. But it probably sold very well in the aftermarket (DVD, streaming, etc). The number #1 rule of parody movies is that you should make them with modest production budgets because most people hate parodies. One of the biggest offenders was "Last Action Hero" Release Date: June 18, 1993 with a Production Budget of $85 million |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18756 | Is Cabin in the Woods where Hemsworth throws his girlfriend in the lake in one scene. If so, seems like I watched that like a B movie. Which means I wasn't expecting much and didn't feel disappointed. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
