The last movie you saw...

[maxpayne2409]

watched Wrongfully Accused the other day, way better then 2001 a space travesty, this was more leslie neilson getting back to his 80s slapstick naked gun/airplane comedy and it was pretty funny, glad i watched it

[spudthedestroyer]

is that the fugitive spoof? I can only remember that being f*Icking terrible, but that might just have been any number of leslie neilson films from the 90s I'm thinking about

[maxpayne2409]

lol yes its the fugitive spoof, where he plays a violinist who gets "wrongfully accused" for a murder, i just love leslie neilsons way of deadpan acting, which is probably why i love the movies u hate lol

Just got my Battlestar Gallactica DVDs, the miniseries and series 1 are cheap @ play.com at last so i bought em both. Watched the miniseries last night... nice to see them ham up the acting and sporting wacky hairstyles.

Rome, is that like Up Pompeii?

[El Mariachi]

I watched a Sound of a Thunder

I went there with bad expectations.

They were mixed.
I enjoyed the movie. But lots of it was not so good.

As mentioned on the IMDB, the special fx were not so good

The CGI city+vehicles : AWFUL
Some matte paintings were ok
The CGI Dino was awful
The CGI evolved monkies were actually not bad looking. Mainly because they appeared in night scenes.
The CGI giant bats were ok
The CGI giant eel was pretty bad up close
Ben Kingsley overacted role was not so bad, but what a waste of such a good actor.
And finally. Not enough death and destruction

These are not spoilers since what I talked about was in the trailer and you can judge for yourself.

The story was simple and bad with lots of plot holes (ofcourse)

Will I buy this movie on DVD : NO

Ben Kingsley overacted role was not so bad, but what a waste of such a good actor

Ben Kingsley (if im thinking of the right guy) is by no means a good actor, he was in commander rikers Thunderturds for god sake

[maxpayne2409]

Also watched the first 5 eps of Drawn Together earlier, i like that show, it spoofs reality tv and the trend of recent & past toons so well

[Jynks]

I've been collecting rome for a bit now waiting till I have about 5 eps or so and then going to watch it.. I have high hopes for that show... sounds real cool .. .spesh if they get into all the political stuff that went on back then.

I just re-watched Altered States... man I forgot how much i LOVE that film.. it is in the high quality section of this site if you havn't seen it I strongly sugest getting a copy.

but he was also ghandi and in sexy beast. oh the irony!

[Jynks]

Also he can do comedy pretty good, try checking out With out a Clue

[maxpayne2409]

dinky... were you trying to make a point?

[maxpayne2409]

jynks - sounds funny

[spudthedestroyer]

About altered states, the ending always seemed like a major cop out to me, as though they weren't sure how to end it or ran out of time. Just ends really fast.

Then again, double ending do piss me off despite the fact many times they are needed to mop up the story.

I dunno, don't you think it just ended rather than reaching "the ending"?

[Jynks]

Yea, but look at what that film was trying to do.. talk about a freak'n hard subject... I think all in all it was very good.. though it could have ended nice an tightly with his speech about "the eternal nothing at the end of conciseness" after the big freak out in the lab.

I think the double ending was just to finalize it.. .I mean if it ended like 2001 you get morons going "well wat happens next.... I do not understand.. there must be something more I missed" but if you just "kill" off the characters . well then bang the audience knows the story is over and that they weren't let down somehow by the story not continuing.

[maxpayne2409]

technically 2001 continues with 2010 - the year we make contact, although i got the feeling from 2010 that it was made more to try and cash in on 2001, despite the fact it was made about 15 years later or something

[maxpayne2409]

just watched the first ep of new tmnt season 4, good stuff

[Jynks]

grey green sponge suit sushi turtles?

[maxpayne2409]
