OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

[Puke]

no I think Vin is in it - I hear the reason they couldn't get him for 2fast2furious (god, that looked bad) was that he was making this. it wasnt called Pitch Black 2, but had a different name. Looked more action and less horror, like Aliens 2 to Alien. Looked really cool, and even some alien sculpture stuff that looked alot like Giger's work.

The rocketman sytle movie (filmed all graney and technocolor) was Sky Captain and the Armies of the Future, or something like that. This guy in a WWII era fighter plane fighting swarms of ornithopters and giant robots that are attacking a sprawling new-york / metropolis type city. Looked very cool.

and yes, Troy looks like it will be a bLast.

Anyone seen Master and Commander? Any opinions?

Yeah, Empire Strikes Back is my favorite out of the original 3 Star Wars movies.
And Wrath of Khan is definitely the best Star Trek movie.

I also like Terminator 2 better than the first movie.
Shanghai Knights was better than Shanghai Noon.

I have to disagree on those two statements. I still think T1 was the best of the films. It had a solid story, and Cameron didn't need to have a huge special effects budget to tell the tale. I think T2 went way overboard in the special effects to the detrement of the storyline. Also, Shanghai Knights, although funny, didnt' really tickle my funny bone like Shanghai Noon did.

Sequels: I really liked Aliens. Still looks good after all of these years, especially in the widescreen director's cut. Agree that T1 was a better story.

I think the new Vin D. movie your talking about is not Pitch Black 2, as I have never heard of this movie, but rather some movie called the Cronicals of *** I foreget what.

And yes, it did look very interesting.

I stand corrected.

Pitch Black 2: The Chronicles of Riddick

My Xmas gift pack arrived today and it contained some 40 DVD's (God bless the family). Included in it was "Bride of Frankenstien" (the first sequel to be better than the original) and "Bride of Reanimater" (Geof Coombs... what a ham! Gotta love him) and the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" (Damn them all, go back to the comic!).

Now if only they'd sent me some popcorn!
