He will certinaly be missed...

i just finished re-watching "Reign Of fire" with my new surround sound stereo system.

watching movies with all the sounds makes it seem different. i admit, this movie is not one of my favorites, but it was enhanced with all those cool sounds :smile:

[edit] sorry typo

reign if fire what?

/runs

Over the last few nights i've watched The Garden State (very good!), Mimic (not bad, nice concept but a little hokey), and Mimic 2 (toilet fodder - nice continuation of the originals concept ballsed up completely). :smile:

Orph, since you know where to get all these TV progs from (i'm just starting to download Lost as i've read the reviews and it sounds brill), you wouldn't happen to know where I can get hold of season 2 of Jeremiah would you? I loved the first season but Sky One consigned it to 3.00am in the morning and never got round to the second season :sad:

i have all the 1st-11 episodes of "Lost" i found them completely engrossing.. a must see guys.

and no promises, but i use this site for most of my searching out of bit torrents.

i hope it helps sir.

Just watched "Saw"

i found this to be a very disturbing movie.

"How to Draw a Rabbit" is a documentary about the life and death of Ray
Johnson. He's a performance artist with a dadaist twist.
It's an interesting film if you're into modern art and unconventional
personalities, but otherwise the general audience should skip it and
enjoy something more traditional instead.

Just saw Van Helsing- it was f**king AWESOME!!!

Took place in an interesting time with interesting themes.

Just watched "Saw"

i found this to be a very disturbing movie.

I want to see the full cut. Apparently the UK version is uncut, and
only 2 minutes are missing ... what the f**k was in those two minutes?

And what was up with Cary Elwes more s**tty then normal acting?

Bloody right ol chap.. (its early, but that is still funny as hell the way you said that cash)
on a more positive note, i am rapidly becoming a CSI fan.. top shelf viewing guys.

I learned a new word while watching CSI.. if you guys have the time, look up the word "porphyria "

it has some interesting history behind it.

Brill is just an abbreviation of brilliant, you already have it :razz: :

and its this too, apparently

Watched The Day After Tomorrow last night, it was pretty good when it wasn't entirely ridiculous, i.e. the climate dropping 10 degrees a second, or perhaps the helicopters freezing entirely and crashing into the ground and then the pilot opens the door... so essentially the plot's amusingly horrible and the acting's more or less decent, 'specially from 'ol Jake Gyllenhaal.

I finally watched "Van Helsing" tonight.. yeah a legit DVD people. :rolleyes:

i have to say, i liked the new twist on the old tired dracula theme.

some of the scenes were a bit silly, but overall top notch viewing.

i'd recommend it.

I think "Van Helsing" is a GREAT GREAT GREAT movie. Awesome, too. :eek:
...and really good. I like how they mixed all the different types of monsters and Frankenstien's Monster was not a bad guy for once.

actually, the monster was portrayed as the good guy in almost every single movie. he was the good monster who has a bad accident with a child in most. i only recall one or two movies where he was bad, the rest was good. hell, go all the way back to boris karloff (i think thats spelled correctly) he was a good frankenstein.

watched taboo of "Open Water"

even wife agrees, its a waste of time.. two thumbs down :sad:

BattleStar Galactica seems to be out in torrent form. (weird i just noticed, cause i have been waiting for its release for a long time)

anywho's, i will have to keep you all posted.

Heh, we've actually got Battlestar Galactica before the US - which makes a nice change. It's OK, but has none of the original charm, they've make it all 'gritty' and 24ish, complete with 'wobbly-cam' all the time. It won't help your motion sickness mate :wink:

Had the dubious honour of watching Napolean Dynomite recently. It sucked! The bad music was the best part.

Have not seen it yet, but want to. has anyone seen "White Noise" yet?

<DIV class=quotetext>Have not seen it yet, but want to. has anyone seen "White Noise" yet?

</DIV></DIV>
Nope, but I saw a series of unfortunate events today, it was ok but a bit predictable.

I saw White Noise last night. Don't see it unless someone else
is paying. Orph this is your que to download it if you really want to
see it.

It was damn funny at times though. Someone yelled out, "This movie
SUCKS" at one point, best damn part. I love that guy, even though I
have no idea who he is.

The trailer for White Noise was crap, so I assume the movie won't be
much better. They just seem to be trying too hard to scare me, when in
reality it comes off as over the top and ever so pretentious.

That's the thing though, it isn't a bad movie. Like at all. It's just
... funny at the same time. It's hard to explain. But it isn't "crap"
like National Treasure.

Lost #12 is up at torrent.

One step ahead of you Orph...watched it last night :wink:

Saw The Life Aquatic over the break. Loved it. Completely dull deadpan humor with some silly and zany action mixed in... yeah. It just rocked. Willem Dafoe's best role yet (crazy emotional German dude).

funny, i forgot completely till this morning. it finished and we watched it just now.

what i find truly astounding is the depth the show is exhibiting. its not really new of a theme, but the intrigue is good enough to keep me glued/enthralled.

what i am finding difficult to accept is, how will they keep the series going. will it be one of those "Janeway" I'm going home type of shows, or will it be "Robinson Crusoe"?

the mysterious "other" people have me guessing too.

i think this series is going places. sadly i though earth 2 and other similar movies would as well. lets hope the producers like it as much as i.
people, if you haven't watched any "Lost" episodes.. you need to :smile:

Watched The Aviator tonight, overall decent flick, as somehow DiCaprio and Baldwin managed to act in a semi-savory fashion. Oh, and my pseudo-lover Kate Beckinsale kind of acted for once too, I hope that's a good sign for the future. :smile:

Like most movies that deal with the subject, the movie's treatment of eccentricity/insanity was pretty shallow and dealt with things at face value.

don't laugh, but i recently bought and watched "chitty chitty bang bang" again..

it brought back some childhood memories, not all of which were bad.

i like old dick van dyke movies :smile:

[edit] i just read the credits. benny hill and phil colins were both in this movie :eek:

Watched Hellboy last night, an alright flick but overall too weird for me... even RtCW did the Nazi occult theme better. :x

I forget who writes the comic book, but he says he pulls everything out of his ass. Still good
though.

i just watched full metal jacket....it's a very good movie

due to children and grand children, i have seen "Babe" multiple times.

today i watched it for the first time. the on cue scenes, and the subtle innuendo had me rolling. anywho's i highly recommend watching it. especially if you are like me and like looking for things inside movies.

Hugo Weaving did a fair dog character.. for those whom like the actor :biggrin:

Yeah, good film - I felt it lacks something after the initial hard
hitting approach of boot camp, like it switches themes from
dehumanising the soldiers then becomes a bit of a "fill in the gaps"
film.

If they had the horrible boot camp from FMJ and the massacre scenes from Platoon they woulda had a 'Nam film spot on.

Still definately worth watching FMJ though (it is Kubrick after all!)

I heard they made yet another "Peter Pan" type movie.. :/

why can't they remake something worth while like say... the Challenger disaster?

seriously though, if they are going to remake movies, they should at least wait till the current generation grows old.. it wasn't that long ago that Robin Williams made a version.

Erm. "Hook" wasn't really based on the book it was based on the Disney
cartoon movie. And "Peter Pan" was based soley on the book. In other
words it wasn't a remake.

However, I do like Hook more, just because of Dustin Hoffman.

I saw "Elektra", now before you get your panties in a bunch, you should
know it's "good". If you liked Daredevil (especially the MUCH IMPROVED
director's cut) you'll enjoy Elektra. Not to mention,
Elektra is better. Daredevil was just too "Afleked".

you invite people to call you on things, you know that?

i don't believe anyone BUT you actually goes around with their shorts all in knots 24/7

i was thinking of seeing that particular flick myself..
i would most likely watch any comic book related movie at least once, even if it was absolutely the worse rendition out there. in fact, i think i have already, at least as far as the old ones go.. most of those were atrocious, but i watched them :biggrin:

Back to the Future = one of the funniest sci-fi comedies in existence?

Quite possibily. That is, if you can ignore all the horrible holes in
the logistics of time that's presented to you, and just accept that
what happens, happens.

IMO, as stupid as it may seem, "Bill and Ted's excellent adventure" was one of the better time travel movies.

they touched on many of the quirks time travel can create.. my favorite part was where they are discussing placing the keys behind the box and when they look, the keys are there already. :smile:

Orph, it's just the way I phrase things ... nothing more.

I watched Back to the Future 1-3 last night. 2 is still my
favorite, because it's the best one. I like 3 even less now, though.
There were some deleted scenes for all the movies, and honestly, they
all should have stayed in. They're wonderful.

Elektra wasn't bad at all, but Jennifer Garner only had 2 modes, really- stoic/annoyed, and mopey/weepy. I can tell that she can probably do more depth than that, and it was dissapointing to not see a wider array of emotions.

The main thing I didn't like about it was the abrupt mood changes- I get the story, and it wasn't as bad of a story as I thought it would be, but it still seemed very choppy.
