Thanks for the tip. I finally caved in and signed up for Netflix and am about to watch this. $39 is a bit steep for the dvd release. $7 for a 48 hour rental on Zune, might as well try out Netflix.
I miss the days of Blockbuster in Canada, they had an excellent documentary and international movie section with full week rentals for $4 each. Now I have to keep a close eye on my monthly download limit and search through 4 online services hoping 1 of them has it, so much more convenient....

I recently watched Up in the air on Showtime HD. Never heard of it before and it was a pleasant surprise. Great acting. That channel has some good movies occasionally, The book of Eli was a nice surprise too. If there ever would be a Fallout 3 the movie, that would be it.
It has utter crap too unfortunately. Recently there was Stonehenge apocalypse, so bad it became funny.

Stonehenge turns out to be some ancient terraforming device that decides to re-terraform the earth by sending EM pulses to ancient monuments (pyramids, angor wat etc) that then 'open up' and unleash super volcanos.

I'm not sure if he was blind it never actually stated one way or the other. It's possible. I don't know why the other guy was so devastated that it was in braille though, it's not a tough code to crack... Doesn't really matter for the movie in the end, the premise was quite silly to begin with.

I would never go watch that movie again! Bleh, I wasted enough of my time watching it. (Sorry if I offended anyone.) I find that movie boring. And haven't they gotten enough money from that movie already?

i just watched Camel Spiders and it was awful!

Sometimes you find a hidden gem with the emphasis on sometimes :)
Riverworld (2003 version) was very enjoyable, a lot better then the average Micheal Bay flick. It probably helped that I never read the book and expected the worst.
I thought the same of Alice (2009), a fun spin on the classic tale. It's a shame I can't get syfy channel here.
My favorite version of Alice is by Jan Svankmajer, a surreal stop motion version.

I forgot about it during the 80's thread.
Here are some pictures and a clip

Recently saw:

John Carter - I enjoyed it for the most part but the movie dragged on a bit. I feel as though it could have been much better. Anyways i still liked it :)

Wrath of the titans - Hmmm pretty much the same as the last one, but if you go and watch this movie you know what type of movie it will be and you shouldnt expect anything more(or less!). Great visuals and effects! Some nice action scenes too. Did anyone else feel like they kinda ripped off GOW3 here? I would say that the story and the movie in general is a bit worse than the first one (which i thought genuinely had a better storyline and told the story much better as well).

The lorax - nice movie, nice use of 3D too. I wouldnt say it was a animated classic like kung fuu panda 1 and despicable me, but never the less its a good movie that has a message behind it. The movie is short too...so if you end up not liking it then it will be done before you know it.

Its been a dry two months for movies imo...no real standouts for me. I was hoping The hunger games would of been released here in SA before the easter weekend but alas its only releasing next week friday

Going to see Hunger Games tomorrow!! I will say how I like it when I get back. ^_^

I will not die from it, but I do not care to see it.   Anyone else see it>?

haha! Goodluck with that spurgeon :)

Nice thread btw!

Are you even old enough to go watch the hunger games?

Isn't PG-13?
