Watched Serenity last night, and we all really enjoyed it. Ordered the Firefly series too, as the film really did drag me in. I was tempted to pick up the series first to get it all in the correct order, and I somewhat wish I had so as to have a bit more of an emotional investment for the film, but I'm sure the series will be great regardless. My only real niggle with the film was that some of the characters were somewhat ignored or portrayed with only one facet, which I'm sure is more of byproduct of it being just an average length film than the characters being that bland or shallow. I hope the series goes a bit deeper into each of the characters, which I'm sure it will given that a series has far more potential to do so. Awesome action scenes, stylish CG, and a great personality.

Serenity was good but you had to have watched the series to know everything that went on. 9 original characters leaves alot of room for story telling. When you get the box set, look on the back. Theres a picture of Adam Baldwin holding a rifle. I took that and submitted it to fireflyfans.net. It somehow wound up on the box set. Make sure you watch the two hour pilot titled "Serenity" First. Then watch train Job. It was the second pilot ordered by FOX, because someone upstairs did'nt like the first one.

(PS. The two hour pilot was the most expensive one made in FOX history at about 10 to 12 million total including re-shoots)

Serenity the movie was fanfreakingtastic to say the least.

I am curious, if I were to buy everything associated with this (assuming its all in disk now) what should I be looking for Juim?

How many box sets are there to this?

and, if you've bought them already, what was the pricetag?

Consider, they do not have these in the video store so I won't be borrowing them. I will have to buy them. So don't consider this a ploy to help me borrow.

theres only one box set, but it has all 15 episodes ever made.

Not too badly priced I might add.

I watched the new Appleseed movie tonight, and really enjoyed it. It was a tad slow in places (dwelling on some points, essentially just repeating them 3 or 4 times, got on my nerves a bit) and some action scenes didn't live up to others, but in general it was excellent. I really liked the cel-shaded visuals - it definately retained the anime feel despite being entirely CG - and it had a (mostly) cool soundtrack to back it up. I felt the use of the Basement Jaxx song "Good Luck" was perfect and entirely surprising in particular <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> Any anime fans should definately check it out.

I watched Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959) this afternoon for my French New Wave film class.

I liked it better than Breathless, but not nearly as much as 400 Blows (those were the other 2 French New Wave films we've had to watch so far).

My favorite part about the movie was the way Resnais didn't do the shot reverse shot often. Usually he let us just watch the conversation unfold while focusing on one person's face during most of it. I really liked that, because its often said that acting isn't what you do when you're delivering your lines, but what you do when others are delivering theirs, and I loved watching the main actor/actress react to each other.

There were also some really fantastic shots along the river in Hiroshima.

The one French woman among the multitudes of Japanese reminded me a lot of Lost In Translation. Now I want to go and rewatch Lost In Translation.

Overall -- I wouldn't recommend this movie to the casual movie goer. If for some reason you like French New Wave but have yet to see this, it's in the Criterion Collection for a reason

Addicted to Morphine, if you liked "Hiroshima Mon Amour" you should definitely watch "Mon Oncle d'Am?rique": this is IMO the best Alain Resnais ever. This movie is really diabolic.

Watched House of Wax the other night mostly because Elisha Cuthbert's in it... seemed to be the quintessential teen horror movie, i.e. hot chicks, blood, stuff that's more gory than scary, and stupid teenagers.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll be sure to check it out next time I'm at my schools library.

I just finished watching Land of the Dead and I have to say it was much better than I expected. The dialogue and acting were both good in my opinion, and while I couldn't really watch the gorier bits (like where you watch as people get ripped to shreds by zombies) I could enjoy the gunfire parts, for some reason.

Anyway -- if you like zombie movies I would recommend it... although be warned its a much happier zombie movie (once you see it you'll know what I mean) compared to say, the Dawn of the Dead remake that came out a few years ago.

My top 3 zombie movies would have to be:
  1. Shaun of the Dead
  2. Dawn of the Dead (2004)
  3. Land of the Dead

I wouldn't, Land of the Dead was a ridiculous movie. Maybe he changed something amazing between the theatrical and DVD cut, but, last time I checked, that movie sucked donkey balls. The entire plot of zombies becoming smart: LAME!

There are so many flaws in it too. Besides the zombie learning to get revenge ... God what a f**king terrible movie, how in God's name could you think it's good? Seriously, that is just beyond me.

I HATE THAT MOVIE. I hope George Romero never makes another movie, period. Which has already been denied, since he's making "Diamond Dead" and wrote "The Crazies", which are both takes on zombies ... again ...


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
