That movie is awesome! I got to see it in a theatre and it was really good. I'll probably either rent it or buy it on DVD to watch again.

I finally saw The Two Towers Last week. It was really good!

That day, they showed the previews for X-Men II and Terminator 3. Looks like there's going to be several good movies scheduled for this year. Matrix II and III are supposed to come out this year, too, and of course the third Lord of the Rings movie near the end of the year. I really liked the first two Terminator movies, so I can't wait to see #3. This time, there's a super advanced cyborg, even more advanced than the T-1000, the T-X, that is sent back in time to kill John Conner. And Schwarzenegger's in it too, of course.

So, do we get a T-1000 on the good guy's side then?

[zen.]

If he is a T-1000, he certainly looks like the good ole T-800 model (Arnie). The new T-X is played by Kristanna Loken, who, if anyone recalls, played the nice-on-the-eyes thief on the short-lived TV show Mortal Kombat: Conquest.

I'm adding Equilibrium to the list. It was a good film suffering from black sheep syndrome; Dimension Films barely released this one (only 200-300 theaters around the U.S.). I managed to see it twice before it left the theaters after 3 weeks.

It's about a dystopic, Orwellian future where feelings are a crime and punishable by death. Everyone is kept pleasantly drugged and productive members of society. Christian Bale stars as a Grammaton Cleric, the elite enforcers of this totalitarian regime. It's basically a coming-of-senses story. The martial arts and gunplay are excellent, fused into a new form called 'Gun Kata'. Very nice action scenes, especially considering the low budget the movie was under. Sean Bean (Boromir) was also in this movie; I almost didn't recognize him without the mucho hair.

Another castoff from Dimension Films was a film called 'Below'. A WWII U.S. sub picks up some survivors on the way home and comes under attack by destroyers; they're forced to go deeper, and in that depth, either something paranatural or their own minds start playing tricks on them...

Ah well, there's always DVD.

P.S. Please put "spoiler space" if endings of movies will be revealed, such as Star Trek Nemesis that I was going to see this weekend. Thank you.

Any one here ever see a movie named "Slaughter of the Inocents?"

Scott Glen film on par with Silence of the Lambs. Good movie.

STN (X) was an ok movie, but it should have been longer. The director should have spent more time developing the movie rather than the action.

Having the Enterprise set so dark was a real stupid thing to do. He should have played off the light and dark aspects of the two characters. I would have enjoyed seeing more at the beginning in regards to the reunion, and how in the hell they found B-4. We all knew from STNG Series that there were many more prototype androids, but nothing was ever said about what happned to them with the exception of Lore.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate TrekX at 6. I still think Insurrection was the best one so far.

"I still think Insurrection was the best one so far."

You actually liked Insurrection? To me that was the worst Star Trek movie of all time. Well at least one of the worst.
I know people have their own opinion but I think you're the first Trek fan I've ever seen that actually liked that movie.
