Well, let’s just say that I liked it better when Michael Mann directed it in 1995 and called it Heat, or maybe even when Mark Wahlberg starred in it in 2003 when it was called The Italian Job. Either way, we’ve seen this film before.
The plot of this film is nothing new. Like I just mentioned, there are heavy elements of Heat in Takers. The heist plan is so much like The Italian Job that one of the characters actually refers to their plan as “going all Italian Job on it.” There is even a hotel room shoot-out scene that is almost shot-for-shot the exact scene from the end of True Romance, right down to the pillow feathers floating through the air.]]> http://www.awesomevillage.com/?feed=rss2&p=10430 0 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10419 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10419#comments Sat, 04 Sep 2010 16:19:19 +0000 Strider http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10419 Amazon has a Gold Box Deal of the Day in effect until midnight tonight.

See, that joke is kind of what this movie is like. It's obvious and you might get some enjoyment out of it, but for the most part, you're head will hurt if you consider how much money went into making what is basically a set of random action sequences thrown up onto a screen and loosely connected by dialogue.]]> http://www.awesomevillage.com/?feed=rss2&p=10390 0 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10404 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10404#comments Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:40:18 +0000 Krycek http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10404 Avatar and True Lies has suddenly found himself in an ongoing feud with the creators of this summer's Piranha 3D]]> http://www.awesomevillage.com/?feed=rss2&p=10404 0 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10385 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10385#comments Fri, 03 Sep 2010 02:08:58 +0000 Krycek http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10385 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?feed=rss2&p=10385 0 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10348 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10348#comments Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:03:38 +0000 Krycek http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10348 Glee inspired musical number with some help from some of TV's biggest stars.]]> http://www.awesomevillage.com/?feed=rss2&p=10348 0 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10328 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10328#comments Mon, 30 Aug 2010 07:32:13 +0000 Krycek http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10328 After the awe-inspiring first season, and the complex and intriguing second year, everyone at the Lost camp decided to throw a few curve balls and mix things up a bit for the third season of the series.  Now, many Lost fans are of the opinion that season 3 may be the weakest of the Lost seasons.  Now, I'll be the first to admit, that it was quite brave of the writers to try different things, such as featuring an episode surrounding supporting characters Nikki and Paulo, and I'm sure they knew that not everyone was going to be happy with certain aspects of this season.  However, when you look at just how awesome the high points of season 3 were (I still believe that the Season 3 finale may be the best of all the Lost finales) it's quite a statement of the quality of the series in total when you say that this season may have been it's weakest, given just how high the quality of this season truly was.]]> http://www.awesomevillage.com/?feed=rss2&p=10328 0 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10315 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10315#comments Fri, 27 Aug 2010 06:32:35 +0000 Krycek http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10315 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?feed=rss2&p=10315 0 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10310 http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10310#comments Thu, 26 Aug 2010 22:30:48 +0000 Krycek http://www.awesomevillage.com/?p=10310 It's Thursday, which means it's time to sit back and take a look at a few upcoming releases.
