distrans, I hate your family.
Oh, I also saw King Arthur and The Chronicles of Riddick a few weeks ago.
King Arthur Clive Owen as Arthur was crap. Where was the inspiring, charismatic king? Keira Knightley was cute/beautiful/scary. All in all, even the fight scenes were too mediocre. The only real highlights were Bors and Dagonet (Ray Winstone and Ray Stevenson).
The Chronicles of Riddick Ummm, what? Unfortunately (or not so) I missed the first 20 minutes of this, but was vaguely entertained by the rest. Can't really explain the feeling. Sure, it was crap, but was it in a good way, or a bad way? Makes me want to see more sci-fi in any case.
Not to mention Vares, a certain good Finnish movie none of you will probably ever see. Your loss.
More Flicks

Finally got around to seeing two that I'd wanted to see for a while, both ended up being quite enjoyable without being anything spectacular.
Halloween - killer score and nice tension. One of the rare enjoyable slasher movies.
a fish called wanda - not as funny as I'd heard but a lot funnier than most comedies. We need more british comedies.

Wow. Not exactly what I was expecting, but managed to surpass Crouching Tiger imo. Everything is good imo (I saw it in Mandarin with english subtitles) from the acting, the action scenes, story, etc. Woot.

good movie; but managed to surpass CTHD? I don't think so, but it depends on your criteria i suppose.
No regrets watching it; there were good fights, a nice story (particularly the way the first half unfolded,) and visually it was very stylish.
I Personally
#657 posted by nitin on 2004/09/05 06:34:29
thought CTHD was very overrated. A good movie it sure was, but nothing more than that.
The fight scene between zhang ziyi and michelle yeoh is another story.

is vares based on the books?
Yup. Can't remember which book right now. Might've been a hybrid of several books. Haven't read any myself, but after seeing the movie I might try one of them.

When I watched I thought it wasn't too interesting apart from the beautifull visuals.

...95% said they loved Vigil, especially for that level where you have to defend the tomb of your friend.
5% said... Who?

this was almost a very fine film, but as it is it's fairly dodgy. The script is too weak and some of the dialogue about psychoanalysis is cringeworthy, even for a movie this old.
But, there's no denying the classy direction that's on display here. Keeps you watching despite all the flaws.
That Level Was Made By

wright bagwell, and it was CALLED Vigil, not actually made by Vigil the mapper.

Joss Whedon Directing Xmen3?
http://www.chud.com/news/sept04/sept7x.php3
Being both a comic book and buffy geek, I for one, am exited for this. (nevermind the fact most of whedons angel episodes suck ass). At least so far, his comic run has been pretty damn good.

Of course, there's currently no script, and to the best of my knowledge no major talent has actually signed for the movie (and we know Halle Berry has little interest in returning unless she's in the spotlight).
Then piss off, Halle, no one likes you. He could be a good director i think. Oh, and GAMBIT GAMBIT GAMBIT GAMBIT GAMBIT GAMBIT GAMBIT FUCKING GAMBIT GAMBIT GODDAMN GAMBIT BASTARDS GAMBIT please thanks.

I was never a fan of Beast persay, but that might be interesting.

I like Halle Berry. I'd like to see Psylocke. I didn't see X2 so I don't know if she was in there or not -_-

and while we're at the whole comic movies thing, just saw this interesting bit...
http://www.darkhorizons.com/news04/040908b.php
Finally, Comic Book Resources reports that "Allegedly, DC's lord of the seas "Aquaman" is getting the cinematic treatment, courtesy of producers Alan and Peter Riche and writer Ben Grant. They want this Aquaman to be a goofy screwball comedy. Their thought was, 'since he's such a stupid character let's play that up.'" He then warned me that despite his source's reliability, this is still just a rumor for now, so caveat emptor and what not".
Yet another comic -> movie destined to suck :\
oh, as for Halle Barry... she's not good looking, she has no acting skill, and really is only famous becuase she cried getting some token award and showed her tits in a few films. I'll be glad to see her gone for any film I may be interested in.

I can prove you wrong with 2 words: Cat and Woman. Instant gold.

...
so you're attempting a rebuttal on the grounds that she's such a shitty actor she has to play in a cheesy crapfest where she fully relies on her supposed looks? I guess she can pass for hot while she wears a mask and not much else.

Are you gay, or blind, or both ?? Even if she looks ugly in her ridiculous costume, it remains she had a wonderful bunny, and big tits woawwhat a girl.. That's enough to see the film.. grrrrr... and furthermore if someone tells me that she's naked in the film: I'll buy it :P...
