FBF, did you see UNCLE? I will pass on it.

Not as good as Kingsman, Melissa McCarthy's Spy or M:I-5.

No Escape awaits your presence I am sure. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/no- ... a6dab0e4d3 ------- Rotten Tomatoes rating: WANT TO SEE IT: 94%

The ultimate test for Pierce.

Read the early reviews: http://letterboxd.com/film/no-escape-2015/ So far, so good.

In fifth, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. slid 55 percent from opening day to $2.185 million yesterday. The adaptation's eight-day haul is $21.4 million, 11 percent behind Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit at the same point. BoxOffice projects a $7.6 million sophomore weekend.

NO UNCLE in the top 5 predicted A total bust

Clearly, it needed odder-looking stars, heavy-handed symbolism, and some soap opera stuff about Napoleon Solo's family. Then it could have grossed a billion dollars like Skyfall and (probably) SPECTRE

Um yeah Kris, its called character development! If your spy film isn't dripping with beef fisted pseudo Freud then no one will care cause it's not gritty and realistic!

Have you seen UNCLE Benny?

[dirtybenny]

Not yet, to be perfectly honest I don't really care for going to theaters and prefer to wait until a film comes on cable (HBO, Showtime here in the states) it will be on my must see list when it hits those channels.

I know how you feel. Bond movies were the exceptions for me, normally. Takes something special to get me to want to go. Star Wars might do it. I might give The Man From UNCLE a try if only write about it in comparison to 007.

Pierce's Some Kind of Beautiful is a dead turkey.

Pierce's No Escape is his last chance next week FBF. No excuses. It was properly marketed on tv. Eisenberg is such a bad actor that I am telling you he will be laughable as Lex Luthor in Batman V. Superman, which will be a huge disgrace and more comical than superhero-ish. TRASH on it's way with Affleck in the role.

To be in Seagal's Hall of Shame or not to be in Seagal's Hall of Shame? That is the question.

I wonder what Sweenster will say on this one. For me, I'm going to give it a shot.

I won't be seeing BvS as much as TDKR. I only do 11 viewings for finales of my favorite series, and since I can do so much with this, I made BOTFA as my last movie to see this number of viewings.

Affleck will ruin what Bale did in the role. Cavill will have another underachiever on his resume. He is primed for Bond.

Henry doesn't need Bond, especially with Babs as the producer. I rather have him working with Ben instead of the b1tch. I hope BvS will succeed so he'll stay away from Bond for good.

I honestly can't imagine

Get ready for Pierce on Wednesday. Imagine if it tops UNCLE?

I'd be surprised, due to its R rating and the fact that it's not based on an existing property, but what exactly would it prove if it did? Now, if it beat SPECTRE, that would be a different matter....

FBF would be happy if it does..............The Man From U.N.C.L.E. grossed $8.0 million this weekend from 39 overseas markets, bringing the international total to $26.0 million and the worldwide total to $52.64 million. Among openers, the UAE launched with $684K on 58 screens. For holdovers, Russia leads ($1.5M/$6.0M cume) followed by UK/Ireland ($1.3M/$5.3M cume), Australia ($649K/$2.3M cume), Spain ($388K/$1.6M cume), and Germany ($333K/$1.3M cume). The Cold War-era spy flick opens in Italy on September 2, Brazil on September 3, Mexico on September 4, and France on September 16. (At this point the producers are 'crying UNCLE' over these disastrous results ).......Ant-Man carried off with $2.9 million (-48%) from 51 territories in its sixth weekend of overseas release. The diminutive Marvel superhero has now grossed $196.5 million overseas and $361.024 million worldwide. It is currently the "second-lowest" grossing film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ahead of The Incredible Hulk ($263.4M WW) but behind Captain America: The First Avenger ($370.6M WW). Ant-Man opens in South Korea on September 3 and in Japan on September 19. A China release date has still not been confirmed. (another dud with C-RUDD in the lead role )
