On a side note, The Black Dahlia was written by James Ellroy based on real life events. I happened to catch his story on an episode of Murder by the Book. His own mother was murdered when he was ten. He got weirded out and became a drifter and peeping tom (which goes well with this thread, lol, http://www.quake3world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27793) and was even arrested for it I believe.axbaby wrote:the Black Dahlia .. confusing murder mystery but good acting and directing. the end of the movie ties everything together nicely thankfully.
to be honest i wasn't too fond of the movie.
7/10
The last movie you saw
It's impressive to me that they had 6x the resolution of the original cut to give us, considering the age.Doombrain wrote:great film made better by x6 the res.seremtan wrote:this is the first half-decent reason i've heard yet for getting some HD gearDoombrain wrote:Dune on HD
9/10
I love the feel of this film. great film and well ported to HD.
Is this good news for other films of the era and beyond? Would be awesome to know that most old films could be released in hi-def

Saw III
Absolutely Dreadful, with a capital D. Lots of gore, no plot, a main victim who doesnt even get the slightest of sympathy from the viewer, and shameful use of footage from the previous two to "explain" every little detail.
Im so glad theyre going to make a fourth one as well. All we need now is Wes Craven and we'll have years worth of crappy sequels \o/

Don't know if I ever posted it, but I saw Talladega Nights in the theater a while back. It's hard for me to express how utterly hilarious that movie was. Sacha Baren Cohen did a great job playing the Frenchie, and perfectly complimented Farrell and his sidekick's parts.
So after Christmas we bought the DVD and watched it again the other night. As comedy's go, I give it a 9/10. I couldn't realistically expect much more from a comedy than laughing my ass off through 2/3 of it.

7/10 star wars redux
really liked the original, but the new cut is shite for all the obvious reasons.
that 'han shot first' bit stood out, not least of all because the guy he shot comes back from the dead in the next scene and then they use dialog that was rehashed for the bit in the bar.
the new stuff takes away the seriousness of the original, making the world puerile and silly instead of fun. it's a kids film with a little too much violence for very young children and not the great family movie that it was before.

BEST BOND FLICK SINCE GOLDENEYE. NO OVER-RELIANCE ON GADGETS AND THERE WAS A LOT MORE OF AN OLDSCHOOL BOND FEEL RATHER THAN JUST RAMMING AS MUCH ACTION AS POSSIBLE DOWN THE VIEWERS THROAT. THEY TOTALLY TOOK A DIFFERENT PATH AND IT REALLY WORKED. :icon14:

[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.
It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.
I am now sick.
