Close.

More like a 30's movie serial, sort of like The Empire Strikes Back was when it came out.


Don't know if youv'e ever seen a serial before, but I saw 2 old Batman ones from the thirties and they had titles like:

"The Door of Death" or "Nipponese Trap" or "Evil Airmen". laughing out loud

EPIIIBITES
How 'bout this one...

Snakes...on a Plane!

Is that horrible or what???

Who would want to go see a movie with a name like that???!!!

blink

Seriously, "Fried Green Tomatoes" always bothered me...right off the bat, I knew this is one film I will never see.

To all you ignoramus's... Ringmaster is not because of the fights... a Ringmaster is the person that directs your attention from one ring to another during a 3 ring circus...... The ringmaster in a circus allows performers to setup in seperate rings while a performance is in progress then introduces the next act.....

Only Die Another Day is really stupid of these. Bridge on the River Kwai strikes me as a very adequate title considering the film's about the building of a bridge on the river Kwai...

omgchos
I agree with part of that because, the title is deffinetly adequate if it's the title character's name. And Die Another Day was a typical Pierce Brosnan James bond Title. What else would you call it?

Thank you, professor, for that enlightenment.

I dont know, i've always fantasized. If i ever hit Tarantino Status. I would make a movie called. "the worst piece of shit you'll ever see" And it will actually be a blockbuster, rockin worlds and changing minds type movie. Then title the sequel. "if you go see this movie you like trash". Then Title the third. The Greatest waste of time you'll ever spend at the theater".

Yeah, but im just a visionary like that.

On topic though, Anything with the Word BABY in the title. Because that's an instant red sign.

Super nanny---- ( imean, who wants to see that garbage it's self explanatory in the title)

The best of Times--- ( That movie tricked me, i thought i was about to watch a good, funny, heart- warming movie, but instead i got some depressing ass shit)


I now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry ( Dude, WE GET THE FUKIN MESSAGE, it's ok to be gay try to be a little more subtle with the title or at least creative wink )

X-Files 2 --(i want to believe ( just completely misleading mother fukin title. I all tried to convince myself it was good, but no...,no BAD shit happened here. I want to believe this movie never happened. Yeah, totally misleading. Title tricked me)

I guess thats all i can really think of at the moment. I shall return though. I mean. All you silly nutters are commenting on movies like 2 Fast 2 Furious and I, Robot. Well, you're just stupid if you think those are stupid titles...,sorry. They may perfect and complete sense for the movies' they are. Atleast they don't try to trick you like the rocky and Rambo titles, but i'm not even going there because an angry video game nerd already touched on that territory stick out tongue

And star wars..., yeah, the prequels are ass but the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clone were perfectly and appropriately titled. Revenge of the Sith on the other hand, that one could use a little work because we have no idea who the hell the Sith are. Where did they come from and why are they seeking revenge...,revenge for what?

I agree wholeheartedly with all of that.

Monsters vs. Aliens, on t'other hand, is a perfectly fine name. It's clearly very tongue-in-cheek, and how you can dismiss Pixar as merely making little kiddy films, I don't know. Have you never seen Toy Story, Nemesis!?

I forgot X-Men: The Last Stand. That's probably the most disingenuous title ever.

"Alien vs Hunter"

I've never seen it, but I just recalled the title "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" or something. I believe the plot actually involed them teaming up, which makes the title sound even worse, if that is at all possible...

I disagree with Attack of the Clones to me it sounds like The clones are attacking the good guys which of course they did'nt.

What was wrong with slevin? It clearly had everything to do with the plot. I can think of 1 HUGE reason that seals the deal on the title being relevant.
1-Lucky # Slevin is the name of the horse that josh hartnet's dad bet on. Which as we find out at the end, was what started the whole scenario unfolding.


Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Films For Theaters. Is a perfect title for that movie. U might as well call the simpsons movie, starsky and hutch, dukes of hazard, etc., all stupid titles for movies while your at it. Granted the title is a lil weird but thats how the show is. If anything it's a really clever title, because the show itself is weird.

And attack of the killer tomatoes is pretty self explanatory.

I agree with dumb and dumberer, but the rest i haven't seen so no comment.

To be fair, it doesn't actually stop it being a stupid title. Wolverine is the origin of a character in X-Men but the title X-Men Origins: Wolverine is still bloody awful.

Not the Plot man i mean the use of the number 7 in the title. In the replacement of one letter that is.

The plot of Lucky Number Slevin one of my favorite movies btw is this

Over the film's opening credits, two men are ambushed in separate locations and murdered, their ledgers stolen from their bodies by the unseen killers. Later, in the waiting area of a bus terminal, a young man is approached by Goodkat (Bruce Willis), who tells the story of Max, a family man who bets borrowed money on a fixed horse race while his son waited in the car. Max who only bets on sure things, plans to use his winnings to put his son through college. Unknown to Max, the mobsters financing the fix discover others betting on it and, to set an example and solidify their reputation, murder Max, his wife and his son Henry. As Goodkat concludes the story, he promptly snaps the man's neck in the bus terminal and puts him in the back of a truck to New York City.

In the next scene, a young black man escorted by bodyguards is killed by an unseen sharpshooter.

In New York City, Slevin Kelevra (Josh Hartnett) answers the door to his friend's apartment in a towel and meets bubbly neighbor Lindsey (Lucy Liu), who observes that Slevin is not Nick Fisher, the apartment's renter. Slevin relates that he lost his job, found out his apartment was condemned, and caught his girlfriend cheating on him so he decided to visit Nick in New York. After arriving in the city he is mugged and punched in the nose. Slevin confesses he has not seen Nick, and that the apartment was unlocked when he arrived. The phone rings but the caller hangs up. She is intrigued and presses redial to find out that the last call was made to a hotel and the hang up was also from the hotel. Lindsey expresses concern over Nick's absence and vows to investigate his disappearance before leaving for work.

Moments later, there is another knock at the door and Slevin is kidnapped by two henchmen, Sloe and Elvis (Mykelti Williamson, Dorian Missick) who take him to The Boss (Morgan Freeman), a powerful mafia lord who has mistaken Slevin for Nick and orders him to repay Nick's hefty $96,000 debt which was borrowed from Slim Hopkins, one of the men killed in the opening sequence and a bookie who worked for the Boss. As compensation, the Boss offers nick the option of murdering Yitzchok the Fairy, the homosexual son of rival Jewish mafia lord Schlomo The Rabbi (Ben Kingsley), the Boss's former partner supposedly responsible for murdering the Boss' son (the black man killed by the sharpshooter). As Slevin leaves to consider his options, the Boss meets with Goodkat, whom he has hired to kill Yitzchok and had asked the Boss to call on Nick. As Slevin leaves the building, we see that the police are watching and decided to alert Detective Brikowski that there is a new man (Slevin) in town.

Slevin returns to Nick's apartment, where Lindsey asks him to accompany her to the hotel that called earlier, to investigate Nick's absence. Slevin looks at the newspaper and reads about Slim Hopkins' mysterious disappearance. Lindsey goes back to her apartment to answer her phone, then Slevin is again kidnapped by henchmen, this time two orthodox Jews. They explain that the Boss and the Rabbi used to be partners but now neither of them leave their penthouse apartments "for fear of what the other will do to him." The Rabbi also mistakes Slevin for Nick and also demands he pays Nick's sizeable $33,000 debt to him within 48 hours. As Slevin leaves, Goodkat appears and confirms that the Rabbi will pay him to kill the Boss. The Rabbi also reveals that he knows Slevin was not Nick. Goodkat claims that he has unfinished business with Slevin and that's why he asked the Rabbi to call on him.

At Nick's apartment, Lindsey updates Slevin about her reconnaissance at the hotel, tracing the phone calls to the room of Mr. Smith, whom she discreetly photographs with her cell phone. Showing Slevin the photograph of Smith, now revealed as Goodkat, Slevin says he doesn't recognize him. Lindsey follows Smith to an apartment building, waits, and sees Slevin come out an hour later with the two Hassidic henchmen. Slevin fills Lindsey in on his day and his debts.

Slevin returns to the Boss and agrees to kill the Fairy. The Boss gives him three days, Slevin asks for a week and the Boss asks him to play him in chess for the extra time. The Boss tells Slevin what Goodkat had told him about the Fairy's body guards: former Mossad agents that shadow him. The Fairy's Star of David pendant is an alarm which the guards respond to in 4 seconds. The Boss suggests that Slevin approach the Fairy romantically to get inside his apartment. Goodkat reveals his plan for Slevin to kill the Fairy and Goodkat to kill Slevin and make it look like a gay lovers suicide pact. Slevin lets the Boss win the chess match. Detective Brikowski (Stanley Tucci) is now watching Slevin personally and learns that Goodkat is in town. Goodkat is a professional hitman who hasn't worked in New York in 20 years.

Slevin returns to Nick's apartment where Lindsey reveals that she is a coroner who saw Benny Begin dead in the morgue. Begin was the other man who was killed in the opening credits and was a bookie working for the Rabbi. Lindsey and Detective Brikowski discussed how Begin was killed by a fastball to the head. Brikowski confides in Lindsey that Begin used to be his bookie. The other two men killed alongside Begin were poisoned. Lindsey thinks that Nick set Slevin up to take his place when he couldn't repay his debts and killed Slim and Benny because they were the only ones who knew what he looked like. Lindsey asks Slevin out to dinner and then goes back to work.

Slevin and Lindsey go out to dinner, allowing them to consider their mutual attraction and to allow Slevin to survey Yitzchok, who dines several tables away. Excusing himself, Slevin approaches Yitzchok in the restroom and exchanges phone numbers for a future date. Detective Brikowski then confronts Slevin in the bathroom, telling him that he knows Slevin is not Nick Fisher, as Nick Fisher is on police records as an incarcerated child molester. Returning home, Slevin spends the night in Lindsey's apartment. In the morning, Slevin leaves to get coffee and passes by both the Boss' and the Rabbi's henchmen watching him. Slevin is abducted a third time and shoved into an undercover police van, where he is interrogated by Detective Brikowski. Slevin simply tells him that his name is Slevin Kelevra.

Lindsey goes to work and Slevin is picked up by the Boss' henchmen. As they leave we see that the Rabbi's henchmen have been shot. That night, Slevin visits Yitzchok the Fairy at his apartment and shoots him. As Yitzchok falls to the ground, Goodkat appears from behind with his gun pointed towards Slevin. Goodkat re-aims and shoots Yitzchok in the head and gives Slevin the keys to his van, which contains a body. Goodkat presses Yitzchok's alarm and shoots the bodyguards as they bust through the adjacent wall. Slevin and Goodkat dump the body next to Yitzchok's, Slevin exchanges his watch with the watch on the body and the two depart, minutes before an explosion engulfs the apartment, disfiguring the bodies.

Goodkat visits the Boss, killing his henchmen and bodyguards and taking the Boss hostage, while Slevin kidnaps the Rabbi after telling him that his henchmen are dead. Hours later, both the Boss and the Rabbi awake, restrained to chairs in the Boss' penthouse and quarreling with each other over the deaths of their sons. It is revealed that the two mobs, having formerly been united, split in 1984 after the Rabbi, jealous of the Boss's growing power, ordered his death. The assassination attempt killed the Boss's wife and left him with six bullet wounds, but the Boss and his young son survived. The Boss tells the Rabbi his son Yitchok is dead in retaliation for the Rabbi killing his son. The Rabbi claims he had no hand in the Boss' son's death.

Their squabbles are interrupted by Slevin, who explains, through a series of connected flashbacks, how Goodkat killed Slim and Slevin killed Benny in order to find a name in each book who owed both mob bosses money: Nick Fisher. The man Goodkat killed in the terminal is revealed as the true Nick Fisher and Slevin was the one who murdered the Boss's son. His death prompted the Boss to hire Goodkat to kill the Rabbi's son in retaliation. Goodkat was the one who originally broke Slevin's nose so he could assume Fisher's identity. Goodkat met with the Boss and agreed to kill Yitzchok, asking that Nick Fisher be included as a pawn in his plan. The Boss agreed and sent his henchment to Fisher's apartment. Later, Goodkat met with the Rabbi and suggested the Rabbi pay him double what the Boss offered to murder his son to murder the Boss instead. The Rabbi accepts the terms and per Goodkat's instructions, sends his henchmen to Fisher's apartment to collect him. Thus, Goodkat plays the mobsters off one another to allow Slevin access to both mobster's heavily fortified apartments.

At the morgue Brikowski learns from Lindsey that the second body from the Fairy's apartment was charred past the point of identification. Goodkat arrives at the morgue and shoots Lindsey because she took his picture in the elevator. Lindsey had just noticed that the watch on the unidentified body was the same one Slevin had been wearing earlier. Brikowski gets a phone call and learns that "Lucky Number Slevin" was the name of the #7 horse Max bet on earlier in the movie. Max's bookie Roth who laid the bet off on the Boss and the Rabbi. They killed Max, his wife, his son, Roth, and even the horse to set an example. Goodkat was hired to kill Max's son because no one else would take the job. However, upon being face to face with the young Slevin, Goodkat decides not to kill him. In the penthouse, Slevin reveals his motivations for this complex plot; his father was Max, who was murdered along with his mother after the horse racing incident.

Simmering, Slevin slides plastic bags over both the Boss's and Rabbi's heads and asphyxiates them in the same manner his father Max was killed. Brikowski learns that the name Kelevra means Bad (ra) Dog (kelev) in Hebrew. Brikowski, revealed in a flashback as the gunman that shot Max's wife, realizes who Slevin really is moments before Slevin appears in the back seat and shoots Brikowski in the head.

Slevin waits at a terminal as Lindsey shows up. A flashback reveals that Goodkat showed up outside Lindsey's apartment when Slevin returned with coffee and told Slevin he had to kill her because she took his picture. Apprehensive about the notion, Slevin instructs her to wear body armor and a squib to protect her from Goodkat's bullets and fool him into thinking she died. In the closing scene, Goodkat tracks Slevin and Lindsey to the terminal. Slevin explains he didn't think Goodkat would understand why he wanted to save Lindsey, to which Goodkat responds that he would have (while remembering his first meeting with Slevin as a child). He then returns to Slevin the watch that was planted on Nick's corpse, which belonged to Slevin's father, before disappearing.

The film closes with a short flashback showing Goodkat and the young Slevin. Goodkat takes him into his car, where Slevin plays with his father's watch, given to him before he went to the racetrack, and is told that it will be a long time before they can return to New York. They turn on the radio and hear the song "The Kansas City Shuffle".

Most sequels have sub-standard titles, with the adding of just "2" or whatever.

like ocean's 12 and ocean's 13. ocean's 11 was brilliant, but i guess that the others had to be called the next number up because people were added "in" on the operation.

most horror films have dreadful titles, because they all have to be 'haunting' or 'last' or 'return of' etc.

You're right. The exceptions to this rule are the few sequels that actually dare to have a completely different name. The Dark Knight is much better than... Batman Begins 2 or Batman Continues or whatever the **** it could've been, though actually some of the other Batman titles were woeful. I really dislike Batman Forever as a title, especially.

I dunno. I just seems as if it were a poor attempt at wit. And an insult, or not insult, that's too strong a word. I'd say a slight or a cheap shot at our intel.

I think the title was catchy myself, it meant something also which of course you'd have to watch the film to find out what.

The film itself was good until they started to cop-out of what the film was initially presented as being about. Started out with a clever plot of a guy being in the wrong place at the wrong time then went down the road of too many other movies.

If that's what you think then you haven't seen the movie.

FistOfThe North
I haven't seen the movie. It may be a good movie to me or not. Maybe i'll check it out maybe not. I've read mixed reviews on it. Is the number "7" even in the movie? If it's not the title fails even moreso, to me. If not the title still looks silly to me. It even sounds dumb when said, as well.

I dunno, what were they thinking? What just because "Slevin" sounds like the number "7" lets go ahead and the number to the word, replacing it with the proper letter, so it can look catchy.

I would've better digested just plain old "Lucky Number Seven" better, with how cliche' the term is and everything.

w/e it's not that serious. The title just made me smirk and roll my eyes back like "god, wow".

With out giving away too much yes the number seven is a big part of the movie and so is the name slevin. U'll just have to watch it and find out why.

and of course there's my personal nightmare :

"Quality Disney Movie" 2.

Come on. Beauty and the Beast was the first animated film that won the oscar for best picture.

i know they did "2" and "3" for that one, and there was a christmas special too.

i just don't get why the beast is back being a beast again. can someone explain this to me?

:P

hm..

who'd be the "ringmaster" in a boxing event?

it couldn't be the announcer or the promoter.

I think it is the circus term but it does sound like "ring" as in a fight or match because that's what happens on that program. It's what it's most famous for. Fighting.
