Prequel of 1,000 corpses. Which I guess would also be a prequel of the sequelFroggy wrote:can you do a prequel of a sequel?shmenguin wrote:Watched the devil's rejects again...that's a really good movie.

Re: Movie
i think cube can come off as a little dated. It was way more aggressive and morbid feeling when it was originally released...which i guess can be considered to be one of its major shortcomings. the classic horror films have that panache, that certain staying power that can still lend a certain level of creepiness, while the cube comes off as science fiction in horror genre's clothing in retrospect.Eismann wrote:Just saw Cube. It was brought up in the horror movie rec thread, but I don't think it really belongs.
Spoiler:
watch the sequels. go into it with the mindset of it being a middle of the road tense sci-fi and your disappointment might be assuaged.

Ah, didn't know there were sequels/prequel. Just wikied it. Maybe if I knew going into the first one that there were more, my view might have been different. I'll prolly watch the other two.canaan wrote:i think cube can come off as a little dated.

Re: Movie
Cube is classic. 1st 5 mins had me hooked. Honestly, don't bother with the sequels.

Re: Movie
Having a 3 year old, I love the Pixar movies, Wall-E I probably know word for word, still great story and amazing animation. Up was a good one too, a little depressing for a cartoon, but good. Its so much better to see those over and over than it is to see Thomas the Tank Engine or any of those other awful kids movies that get played to death. I find myself somewhat excited for the Toy Story 3Corvidae wrote:I just watched WALL-E. Loved it. I'm not normally a Pixar fan, either.

Re: Movie
I think it was the "theme" and overall style of the movie that I loved so much. Not so much the "green" thing. People talk to each other less and less because of technology, and I love the movies take on that.Chefpatrick871 wrote:Having a 3 year old, I love the Pixar movies, Wall-E I probably know word for word, still great story and amazing animation.

I'd still prefer Aladdin or The Emperor's New Groove to almost anything from Pixar, but WALL-E was a winner.

Re: Movie
Just watched District 9 last night, I gotta be honest, it was entertaining. The first probably 3-5 times I saw this preview when it was in the theaters I half thought it was a new video game coming out.
However, after seeing it, it REALLY reminded me of a video game, if you've seen it, it has everything, the backstory, the woman he is fighting to get back to, a weird sidekick, and an objective that involves infiltrating a building to retrieve something. Im not a big sci-fi fan, however, this was very entertaining, a little gross, and a lot of fun, not award winning by any stretch, but interesting story, glad I saw it.

Re: Movie
Introduced my little girl to The Neverending Story which was obviously a success. For a 2 year old, I thought she would have really went for Falcor, but she liked The Gmorck wolf better. I've never read the book, so I don't know if it's the same, but don't you think they could have come up with a better name for the childlike empress than "Moonchild"? I mean Bastian has to pick the name and he already knows it's going to be his Moms name, was his moms name really moonchild? The family doesn't look like hippies at all.

Re: Movie
I watched The Unborn and Watchmen (finally) and I.... I don't know why they even make movies like that. Unborn wasn't scary, it was stupid and silly. And Watchmen... what the hell were they wearing? They may as well let them dress normally and made it into a karate movie. I've never seen such silly costumes. I want my 4 hours back.

Re: Movie
watchmen(the book) deconstructed the superhero. The costumes were a commentary about how ridiculous the contemporary comic book costumes were. It can be said that the movie does this in regards to contemporary film superheroes. Probably intentionally ridiculous.Sarcastic wrote:I watched The Unborn and Watchmen (finally) and I....

Funny People was a bit longer than it needed to be, but I also enjoyed it.
