Anybody who has a blu ray player will definitely rent/buy Avatar, but most people don't have blu ray. Plus it won't be in 3D like most of us saw in the theater, unless you have $3,000+ to purchase a 3DHDTV (and the dorky glasses). And if somebody is gonna spend that much on a tv it would be wasted without a stellar audio system, and those can get very pricey.

Not to mention it's also gonna be a waste with a small/medium size 3D tv. I'd say it would have to be over 65" to get the full effect.

I also fell in love with Audrey Tautou, i ended up watching the da vinci code just because of her She is really gorgeous in that movie.

Well, if you are an Alizée fan, and loved Audrey Tautou in those two films,
you should check out: Alizée sings Saint Teresa - the music video
and the background research which makes it even more interesting at:
Jacotey/Jacotet genealogy (especially near the bottom of the post).

Having been stuck inside a house or within 100 feet of my house (as far as I'm willing to walk in the snow) , I watched some movies. I watched Saw 6, and I liked it, I like all of them, but it was difficult for me to understand what went on because I never got to watch Saw 5. I missed all the intense trap scenes.

Also, I watched Surrogates, a movie I had actually never heard about, and it was about humans using robot surrogates to live their lives because their human selves were "vulnerable" and "unattractive." Kinda like Avatar, IRobot and Terminator combined. I liked it, and it came with a similar "don't rely on tech" message.

Finally, I watched Watchmen, which was way overdue. I liked this one the best, because it made you think. In the end, one of the good guys is really a bad guy. Though he did a horrible thing, he's still right because what he did was the lesser of two evils in a way. I liked the thought of super hero leagues fighting for good, and retiring once a new one could be formed. Kinda like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen whose original comic book version I borrowed from the library recently.

It was actually made in the 60s I believe, to make a parody of the James Bond books. The filmmakers put it on Youtube, you should check it out.
I don't know if there is any relation to the recent movie.

So perhaps it's time the cool people get to talking about a wave of a pretty awesome Japanese action film by the name of "Crows Zero"
It's only been talked about 200 times in AAm's chat and almost every other chat frequented by me, Plaz, and djwise.





I definitely give these movies a 10/10 for the first, and a 9.5/10 for the second.
Special effects are not precedent at all, what brings the story is dialogue and of course, action. Not the kind of martial arts you'd expect (well, most of you all anyway), it's straight brutal action, when you see a punch, they mean the punch.
It's got no finesse, no calibration, it's a Punch made to make the person shit bricks, and you feel each one. Each hook, each slam, each whack.
No tricks, no effects.

Love it.

yes, definitely two awesome movies right here. and the soundtracks to both are really good as well. The characters are all amazing in their own separate ways. I think I honestly hated only one character in either of the two movies & he got what was coming to him *hint to see the movie!! *

the action is top-notch & will definitely make ya cringe. I know I did a few times through out the movies. Definitely a must-see!
