[quote:189b914e51="Orrdos"][quote:189b914e51="Dane"]I saw DOOM the sunday before that, that was a lot more impressive. I loved it, I thought that there was a pretty good storey line that was easier to follow than I expected. [/quote:189b914e51]

Wait...

You thought a film based on the computer game DOOM, which consists of a man shooting things for several hours, and which stars the Rock was going to have a complicated plot?

No i thought that the explinations to all the monsters and such would be a lot more complex, I didn't think the film would be. Still if thats how you want to take my comment then enjoy yourself with it

But seriously though, the movie was terrible.At best you could say it was 'fun'. The first person shooter bit was the only worth while thing. The rest was just standard pap. It anoys me when they take a game with a decent storyline (I'm not too sure on the Doom one, but my friends said it was good) and change it into a crappy one.

Resident Evil is a perfect example of this. Hopefully, With Peter Jackson producing Halo it will be good.


I seen Kong yesterday, it was awsome. Kong is so amazing... and a bad ass.

Agreed. Have you ever seen Wing Commander? That game series had an interesting cinematic storyline to begin with, and they turn it into some space shootemup drivel! Man, that pissed me off (I was a Wing Commander fan). They shoudl have gotten Mark Hamil to play in the movie like he did in the game.

I saw the last part of that on TV last weekend. I liked it when the aliens talked.


And I said to myself, 'I am glad that I am not a clockfeet.'

I went to the Chronicles of Narnia, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe last night with my sister-in-law and neice. I really liked it and I probably will try to see the rest of the Narnia movies.

Yesterday, I saw 2 movies, one of which in presence of the crew, who were all really fun and friendly for famous people... But no one here would care, they're French and none of you have heard of them So hey, there goes my claim for fame ! On Thursday, I'll be meeting Luc Besson, the guy who made the Fifth Element (so vaguely connected to Pterry ! ) for his new film Angel-A. Gee I love my unlimited cinema card !

I saw King Kong last week.

To be frank, it could have had an hour cut off of it, the fight scenes were gratuitous, and parts of it made me feel physically ill.

But I get 5 extra credit points for seeing it, so I guess it was okay.

I also went and saw Narnia today with a mate... and between giggling and getting popcorn thrown all over me it seemed quite watchable. Not the greatest movie, but very spectacular and reasonably well acted. The big fight scene did rather drag on a bit though. They could have shortened it and put in more of the interesting parts of the book. There were also some continuity issues which seemed to be due to pure laziness. Overall, better than expected.

I want a talking beaver!

I have gone to see the movie RENT. *looks around hopefully* Are there any other RENTheads in vacinaty? You should all go see it, but heed this warning: One of the charactors is a gay transvestite. If that bothers you, still go see it. It could change your mind. Angel is adorable. I love her so much...

here's a pic.

What she has in her hands are drumsticks. She is a drummer.

Oh yeah, I forgot, I saw that on sunday... I must agree, there is at least an hour of action scenes that are not really of any use to the story... and certainly don't go see it if you don't like enormous creepycrawlies ! :oops: But hey, it was very well done, and quite fun, although it was long...

Narnia was good, I really wasn't dissapointed, I was so afraid they would mess up the important bits, but they didn't, and Aslan rocks ! I guess, being a very short book, compared to LoTR or Harry Potter, there is no particular difficulty to fit everything in.

I thought Kong was brillant. The action scenes where amazing! Kong verses the dinosaurs was great!...Also, I disagree that it wasn't part of the story the action scenes all served a purpose, to show how powerful and violent Kong can be (which is contrasted with his gentlness with Ann) and forges an important bond between Ann and Kong after the battle kong is transformed in her sees from a monster to a protector, which is very important for the emotional pay off at the end. In His world Kong protects Ann, in her world she fails at protecting Kong, which adds to the sadness of the cilmax.

The insect scene was a homage to the orginal where the wanted to have giant insects but couldn't pull it off. It also shows how much Jack was willing to go threw to save Ann.

I thought the effects and character of Kong where bloody brillant, he really felt real.
