OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

Narrew · #1 July 23rd, 2004, 12:05 PM

Was hott here in the Pacific Northwest so I went to see I-Robot, and being a real Sci-fi fan (book reading mainly) I was prepared to be disappointed (especially since I did not get the matinee price).

Well, I'll be damned, it was well written ect, true NOT the same as the book I-Robot, and I do miss R. Daniel, but as someone said, it was a good Robot movie that Asamov COULD have written.

Was nice to be pleasantly surprised!

I also have just seen I, Robot. Entertaining enough. I can't remember ever reading the books but I once saw a summary of the world history so knew how the 3 laws end up. Practically knew from the beginning what would happen. A case of meeting a new character and instantly guessing the whole plot. ALso I disagreed with the detectives reason for hating robots.The cause seemed entirely logical to me.

Evening all,

Signs: There were lengthy periods of no dialog which were just creepy. I thought the interesting thing is that Signs is not about aliens invading the Earth, it's about why things are the way they are.

Return of the King: I love it, but this movie is loooooonnnnngggg. I watched an hour, went to the grocery store for an hour while it was still playing, came home and watched for another hour and a half. :-)

Anyone ever seen Hysterical? Old comedy/horror spoof. The name says it all.

Didn't see it in the theaters, but recently bought and watched the dvd of Butterfly Effect. Great movie. And what a suprise ending. If you haven't see it, I encourage you to do so.

'So I married an axe murderer' is a classic, in my opinion. Note: Not horror, despite the title.

I like the coffee cup opening scene, for some reason. Adds something to the movie. Not sure what.

I saw Unbreakable on TV recently...
a lot better than I was expecting beforehand. Maybe I'm just cynical about TV.

I thought that was a good movie when I saw it back in the theatres. Wasn't that supposed to be the first of 3 movies? It ended in such a way to lead to a second part...
