OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

Something like that happened to me once. I was doing some volunteer work and a co-worker told me he had never seen a Star Wars movie. I couldn't believe it. I guess intelectually I knew tribes in deep africa hadn't seen them, but someone I actually worked alongside

Worst movie EVER..... Galaxyquest. I'll say no more.

I think that the worst Sci-fi movie ever is a toss-up (or throw-up) between Battlefield Earth and Hichhikers guide to the galaxy.

Noting is as bad as Battlefield Earth. You need to even new words to describe how bad that film is on every level.

Serenity - 8 out of 10

Pro - Very good Sci-Fi flick ... worth the full price of admission. Loads of fun to watch, had to see it twice to catch everything.

Con- Story is a bit lacking and we loose a couple of good characters. The series theme song is not used in the movie.

DOOM 6 out of 10.

Pro - Basically there are none - well there is the Lead Women, she is hot. The movie has a couple of ok laughs but thats it.

Cons - Doesn't follow the game portal from hell concept. Lots of dark shots with predictiable scares. Weak acting with a sub par story line.

The action is pretty non-stop with a lot of predictable parts. If your looking for a semi-fun horror flick with a lot of "shooting", sub par acting, then look no more, go see DOOM. But at least see it during the cheap showings, save four bucks.

Batman Begins - 8 out of 10

Pro's - Really good Batman moive with top end supporting actors and a semi-solid story. Great action and finally we get a batmobile that is worthy of the name.

Con's - The Scare Crow is bioutched the back seat and is more of a pawn than a major player. The story line leaves decimates the story established in Batman (The Tim Burton movie) regarding the death of Bruce Waynes parents.

Over all it is a good movie to rent and watch. The DVD sucks as far as features go.

As to buying the DVD, wait, they are obviously going to come out with a special edition. (There are no features on the current DVD. The CDROM stuff is just junk spam.)

Do not put it into your PC DVD player. You have been warned. (Spam)

House of Flying Daggers

It was pretty good. Nice elaborate kung fu-type fight scenes, and a rather tragic story, in a similar style as movies like Hero and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Some of the moves the people use in the fights are seem kind of unrealistic in that they would require such an incredible level of skill to do them. Not a bad movie, though.
