If you like Quentin Tarantino, I recommend Kill Bill and it's sequel which comes soon in theatres (at least in Finland sequel premiere is 20th february).

Oh, here is also a link for Returner

I just placed Returner in my Netflix que. I should have it later this week. I will post my review but I already like the plot. Thanks for the movie recommendation.

What;s it about Atrocoties ?

What do other people think about subtitles. Never bothers me to have them. In fact I'd much rather have them than dubbed voices which I really hate. I find with subtitles after a min or 2 I forget that I am even reading them.

Although I'm a fast reader, I'd rather not read while I'm trying to watch a movie. I've watched enough Godzilla movies that the dubbing really doesn't bother me.

I for one, am really happy that most programs/movies in the Netherlands use subtitles. My english is good enough to ignore the Dutch subtitles, so that allows me to watch the movie with the original voices. Also when your English is not that good yet subtitling provides a good way to learn English.

We can receive some German channels as well in the Netherlands, and over there they use dubbed voices for everything.. I just can't get used to it. Hearing famous actors suddenly speak German in a voice that sounds nothing like the original just makes my skin itch..

I do not wish to spoil the movie. It is a time travel action flick. Not the greatest movie, but one that is still good enought to watch and enjoy. I actually really liked it because of how it was made to look and feel.

As for the sub titles, they are rather well timed, and easy to read. I was reading them so fast that it seemed instantanious to me.

Another semi good movie is The Alien Hunter. I know the name sounds bad, but believe me they do explain it. (The primary Character, James Spader (Stargate), used to work for SETI thus the nick name Alien Hunter.)

The move is a cross between The Thing, Close Encounters, and a spin off of the Roswell incident.

For a low budge movie it does a great job of keeping you interested in the story with good acting, ok special effects, and a unique story line.

I'd say this one was a good rainy night rental. I watched it twice and that is rare for me.
