Loved A Fish Called Wanda. Fierce Creatures was alright, but nowhere near the caliber of the first one IMO.

Kevin Kline and Michael Palin were hilarious in the first one. I'd quote a few lines, but there are simply too many funny lines to list...

yeah your right, there were some scenes in fierce creatures that were really funny though.

what about shaun of the dead or hot fuzz? my chica loves python and most british comedies and it took me forever to get her to watch these, but then she really loved them.

has anyone else here seen green street hooligans? i can't believe i don't own it...

I watched The Machinist tonight. Very good. Christian Bale was incredible in this movie.

I caught onto the whole schizophrenia from the start...at first I thought "not that old twist again"...but the ending was great, definitely all came together at the end of the movie perfectly. It was much closer to a happy ending than I thought the movie would ever reach...I liked it a lot, even if it kind of dragged in the middle.

I'll have to see the Machinist, I've been meaning too.

Evil Dead 2 anyone? I get withdrawl if I don't want the movie every now and then.

Anyone else a zombie movie fan?

Love Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz. Spaced was a good tv show as well.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I hope you mean the remake Dawn of the Dead, that has got to be my favorite zombie movie ever. I rented the original and my wife and I found it incredibly boring. I think you might enjoy the Aussie zombie movie "Undead".

Yeah, I've seen both, but I do like the remake better. Some remakes do make it better.
Haven't seen "Undead"...and I've seen a lot of zombie movies hehe. I'll have to check that out. The potential themes for heroism, sacrifice, etc in zombie movies typically makes them great to watch.

Oh, anybody like Slither? It looked like it would be a terrible, cheesy movie...but it was supposed to be campy and cheesy, and it was great.

Ew.

1) The movies are nothing like the games, which could be acceptable, if the movies weren't so bad.

2) It's just Milla Jovovich being the typical bad-ass chick on steroids, who can somehow kill these countless enemies...I don't even find her attractive, but that's not the point.

3) As just a regular zombie movie it even disappoints. It's not nearly as thoughtful or clever as some of the great undead films.

"All Bets Are Off"? Please, I wasn't ever betting anything on this series of movies.
