How can anybody not like 300? Beautiful naked women and death by sword and spear. What more can you ask for?![]()
Recent movies: Black Snake Moan (pretty good, good blues music), Jackass 2.5 (disgustingly funny), Hot Rod (hilarious, 2 legit 2 quit)

-= PSN Name is StellarSublime =-
Juno.
It's a great flick. Really.
Severance -- a little known british number, very good
300 - WoW
Ghostrider - CrAP
Killing floor and white noise 2 - both garbage
Transformers - I finally saw it and it's incredible.
Stardust - OUCH how can a movie have bad special effects in this day in age? The acting was even bad. Man this sucked
Ghostbusters - 'A classic' as Zephyr said, I love this movie, almost a quarter century later and it still kicks ass. Watched with a friend who surprisingly never saw it, and she loved it too.
Casino Royale - pretty good
JB the world is not enough - somehow I missed this one and recently saw it and it rocked. My new favorite Brosnan James bond.
Advent Children - Sorry fanboys, but I don't even wanna play another FF game after seeing this drivel.
RE Extinction - I wish someone would've blown my head off with a shotgun. BEFORE I saw this movie. For a game movie the first was alright, but this??? wtF!!11
1408 - Cusack is the shit but i found this movie to be semi ok
Grosse point blank - One of my faves, I've seen this so many times.
Pans Labyrinth - i honestly thought this would be a childrens movie and tried it just for the hell and it blew me away.
Waiting - very funny
Office space - not bad
ninja scroll - a buddy of mine mentioned it the other day so I dl'ed it, can't believe I liked it when it came out.
Appleseed - The best ANIME I'VE SEEN IN YEARS. IMO
indiana jones 1,2,3 - classics, yummy.
Who framed Roger Rabbit - another of my faves. Got the dvd edition, looks great!!!!!
I've seen about 50 more than that, in the past month, yup a month. No job + Employment Insurance + savings = plenty of free time to watch movies and play video games. Why work? Canada is great!!!!!!
Nah, I just think that Transformers sucked, and Stardust wasn't all that bad.
One was a special-effects showcase with no compelling story, whereas the other one had an interesting storyline, even if the special effects weren't all that impressive. Me, I'll take a interesting story over flashy special effects any day.
hmmm I see your point.
That said, i think Transformers did good with what they had to work worth. Look at comic book movies, they always start with a boring origin movie, so I think transformers did ok, just seeing them in a so called "real setting" was enough for me, maybe it's just a fanboy thing. They never mentoned the matrix did they??? just a query there
I dunno about stardust though. When I saw previews and read a couple of things I thought it was gonna be great. Just didn't do it for me. but the effects really turned me off, still I have to give credit to a more original idea as opposed to a land of sequels. I thought claire daynes and De NIro could have done better. Meh to each his own of course.
I figured that the Cube was supposed to represent the matrix in some way. Dunno though, that's just a guess. I'm sure the inevitable sequel will answer whatever questions the first one brought up.
Clair Danes...is not a very good actress IMO. I've not watched one movie that she was in and enjoyed her performance. I've enjoyed the movies themselves to a certain extent, such as Stardust, but overall I find her acting to be bland at best.
