Movie: Phone Booth

[Robert]

Ok.. a 2 hour movie focused on a man standing in a phone booth, yea interesting? Not. the ENTIRE movie is based in the phone booth, except for the first 5 minutes and last 5 minutes.

The funniest parts are when the police arrive, other than that, don't waste your cash!

[thebyp2]

having not even heard of it i doubt i'll be wasting my money any time soon. should the mrs make one of her informed decisions at any point, i shall refer her to your post :D

I thought they might make it interesting, in a Breakfast Club sort of way. Did you like that movie? Though I have to admit, when I saw that Phone Booth starred Forest Whitaker, I was pretty sure I wasn't going to see that one.

I love the Breakfast Club!!! Of course I was their target demographic when the movie came out, so my opinion may have been influenced by raging teenage hormones!

[mattt]

The Breakfast Club - Classic!! One of the funniest movies I've probably ever seen. Loved it.

Phone Booth - Saw it on VCD. Poor quality, poor sound, but still relatively enjoyed it. It was an interesting movie ... although, I thought it resembled Seven in a more one-dimentional way. Liked it, and would probably recommend it to people (although, I might suggest waiting for the rental release of it).

Took almost 10 minutes for VB to send me an email letting me know someone replied. I read your reply 10 minutes ago.

Robert probably just lag? You using hotmail or something of the likes?

Anyways it looked pretty lame. But breakfast club was definantly a classic. :D

[Robert]

Nah. My email address comes from my server, verohost.com. =)

Oh well.

Edit - Who is this "Administrator" and why does he only allow me to post every 60 secs? LOL

I forgot all about Breakfast Club. Before that I could think of only one other movie situated around only one real set. Chicken Run. And it sucked too.

I loved Breakfast Club though, between that and Better Off Dead I could have, and did, watch them over and over again when they came out on cable and VHS.

I doubt I'll ever see this Phone Booth movie. An action movie with one set. Not bloody likely!

I thought Chicken Run sucked pretty bad. I think the altime best comedy though is Ferris Bueler's day off (sp?)

Edit: I need to learn how to spell!

[Operator]

Don't waste your money on "Anger Management". Ending killed the whole thing!

Head of State is pretty funny, but plot sucks.

Oh It sucks? I was about to go see it too. Dang

Better off Dead!! "I Want My $2.00"!!! That is one of my favorite movies -- I had such a crush on Diane Franklin (Monique). It was such an odd movie, and so eclectic. It was the first John Cusack movie I had ever seen, but it made me a big fan, and I see everyone of his movies (even America's Sweethearts :)).

I took a film class in high school and we discussed how hard it is to do movies that focus on a single set. The movie we used to demonstrate how it is was Hitchcock's Rope. The whole movie was filmed in an apartment. Rather than fading to black cutaways the way most movies do Hitchcock would focus on something dark and use that as a cutaway, so it looks like the action never stops. It is a really good movie, not just for the way it was filmed, but the plot is pretty gripping as well.

Better off Dead was an awesome movie :D ...but how could you not like Chicken Run??? Ayyyyeeee... well I liked it, but I might be biased ;)

How about "Rear Window"? Another Hitchcock classic. That's my favorite of his.

And yeah, Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller were (still are) great!

Most movies are crap today along with everything else....

This is a great movie.

Its that old I have it on Video. It was on TV not that long ago.

[The Dude]

I have several movies on VIDEO (Which im glad i do) I much prefer VHS to anything digital.. (Sound,etc is much better)

This is a great movie.The trailer for part 2 makes it look stranger than part 1!

[mfwl]

They have just released news that they are to do a new film called Port-a-Loo

[The Dude]

Hehe i wonder what its about :D

[Hosthaz]

How can the movie go on when a guy just stands in a phone booth? Thanks for the heads up!

These movies seem interesting, and i will see them. :)

[furthersolution]

I actually enjoyed this movie, I've watched it 2-3 times.

It has a good amount of suspense and a very original story.

[ServerWOW]

Quite funny its mainly based round a phone booth but was quite good strangely.

[The Dude]

How can the movie go on when a guy just stands in a phone booth? Thanks for the heads up!Cause thats how stupid movies have become in the last few years.....

I saw PHONE BOOTH on reg TV a few months ago..... (I semi watched it)

I still havent seen anything about PHONE BOOTH 2..

[Dan321]

it is an ok film, although I found it a bit boring.
