Yes, and there is going to be a new He-Man movie too.

I just like that they've finally got Batman walking that thin line. His final line to Ra's..

"I'm not going to kill you...but I don't have to save you." That was perfect.

And where did they film this, Alaska? Katie Holmes was just visibly cold in those last scenes.

Anyone know who the bad guy will be in Batman Begins?

[Grey Sea]

Saw Sin City over here and enjoyed it. Not your run of the mill fare. I haven't read the comics, so I can't vouch for their adherence to the material. However, I found the cinematograghy to be very good. It's a bloody, gory type of flick, with love story, and a bad guy. If that's your thing I think you'll like it too. Oh, yeah Landlady rules! LIONS ROAR!

but.. she didn;t act taht well and her lines are so limited that we could just cut her out and no one would notice... well except fro teh slapping part and the nipple show in the last shots.....

I've just bought Equilibrium at a sale and i gotta say I really liked the movie. Good balance between the development of the character and cool action sequences. Definitely worth watching.


I need your help here guys... twould be great if someone could tell me the title of the following movie or direct me somwhere where I might find with some research (just spent half about an hour searching the web, grrr). A couple of years ago I saw a french cloak and dagger movie. I don't remember toomuch of the plot. There was something about rivalling epee schools, a daughter and so no. Sorry, I know that's pretty vague Anyhow, the main reason why I remember this movie are the fencing scenes, which blew me away. I've never seen any fencing in a cloak and dagger movie that was so realistic and aslo pretty bloody. The main characters' signature move - he was a master of the blade btw - was to stab his opponents directly into the brain via a spot between the eyebrows.

It would be great if you could help me find it, it's bugging me for a while that I don't remember the title, and I'd like to watch that movie again. Thanks in advance

God, F4 was dire. Like, really, really bad. The direction was bad, with weird, brutal cuts that served no purpose, and the Invisible Girl and Mr. Fantastic Characters were just so boring.

*possible spoilers*

The whole bit with the Thing's wife was lame. One moment she says how they'd be together forever, the next she's throwing away her wedding ring because he's not pretty any more.

And what the hell were they ALL doing on that bridge? How convenient was that? The bridge closes down cos the Thing causes an accident, and it JUST SO HAPPENS that the other three, plus the Thing's wife, are all on the bridge AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME. Please.

The guy from Nip/Tuck was good until he got into the costume, and then he was just rubbish and had no presence, just a smooth voice. And how convenient that his corporate icon was an iron mask (one that fit his face perfectly). Can you really see Microsoft or Virgin having an iron mask as their slogon? What if he'd owned McDonald's? Would he have had to make do with a cap?

And there wasn't even any fight scenes until the end!

Maybe the sequel will be better, but it'd have to be REALLY f*cking good to wipe that travesty from my memory.

Yes, Paul Verhoeven's films tend to be quite gory, like Robocop and Starship Troopers. In Troopers there is the great scene of war propaganda against the 'bugs', where 'even the children are doing their share' = trampling on small beetles!

Just bought Verhoeven's first Hollywood-film Flesh and Blood, that tells the tale of a mercenary company in the 'Dark Ages' of Europe. Read a some comments of it at IMDB, and the film was praised to be quite realistic. Starring Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

You need Katie Holmes because if it had been Natalie Portman as originaly intended she would have stolen the film away from Christian Bale like she does to everyone else.

Thanks babe

It's hard to say. I think it was more the absence of things I hated rather than the abundance of things I liked

I remember while watching it thinking, "Oh, no - now this is the point in the movie where this annoying thing is going to happen" or "he's gonna come out with a horrible cliche now" etc. But it never did turn into the train wreck I was expecting, which kind of left me pleasantly surprised. So because it wasn't as bad as I'd feared, it sort of left a good impression on me. Normally, I can spot the cheesy line/cliched plot twist coming a mile off, but not here.

So that was quite wierd. Having said all that, I've only watched it once and have no plans to watch it again in the near future - I didn't think it was that good

Can't wait for Sin City - not read the comics, so shouldn't be disappointed with the conversion. Still months till its out over here though (I'm waiting for the cinema release).

Gonna give Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy the benefit of the doubt (out soon). Loved the books but thought the tv series failed to land the majority of the jokes or nail the humour particularly effectively at all. Fingers crossed...

[Abyss]

Dark City was brilliant and thoroughly underrated.

Sky Captain was crap, but did have its visual moments of grandeur.

A Very Long Engagement was clever, as someone mentioned, for managing to combine WWI hell with a fairly believable love story.

Finally saw The Incredibles. Genius.


- Abyss, all of the above imnsho, natch.

This weekend watched The Interpreter and Kung Fu Hustle. Both seemed over-long, though each had its moments...
