My dad highly enjoyed Army of Darkness, and my mom enjoys the entire Halloween series. This news threw me off since my dad doesn't enjoy a movie unless it has aliens or sharks in it, and my mom isn't big into the horror genre.
My two favorite endings couldn't be anymore opposite, and are both from two movies that I feel are only average. The first is the ending to Desperate Measures. The last line and the quickest cut to credits I have ever seen just made my day. The second is the ending to... Titanic. It feels...
I enjoyed the hell out of the menu animations. The tranfer is clean, and comes close to the clarity that the Imax presentation delivered. The menu design is much more structured and easier to navigate than the original DVD. Excellent buy for a great price. 4 million copies sold on opening...
My second favorite movie of the year, right behind, of all things, The Matrix Reloaded. Every scene and nearly every line had weight and meaning. While I agree some areas could have been cut, I still feel that the pacing is perfect. Previous films with impressive gunfights (Heat, Way of...
The Rundown (formerly Helldorado / Welcome to the Jungle) View The Trailer Here While many viewed the new trailer to Robert Rodriguez's "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" before "Bad Boys II" last night, select audiences also were able to view the new trailer to Peter Berg's "The Rundown"...
I saw the movie at the Lennox 24 tonight, and it was a mad house. A MAD HOUSE. 24 screens, all showing the same movie. Multiple showtimes all through the night, and showed no signs of slowing down. The crowd wasn't electric, but they responded at all the right moments. The good news was that...
What is the Matrix Reloaded? A faithful installment to the series, and an all around satisfying ride. Pros: Nearly everything. The humor, the music, the images, the underlying themes and all around plot are top grade. Cons: Odd dialogue. Lazy and/or Odd Editing. I would say cut...
Finished with Tesshu's missions and now for the final impressions. I have to agree with a few assessments on this title in that it could have been more. It could have told a deeper story, presented some more light sourcing effects and could have aimed for a less repetitive design. However, I...
Finished both Rikimaru's & Ayame's missions. Happy to say that I decimated Uncle Tenrai both times with the Almighty-Wrath-of-Heaven-I-Just-Impaled-You-Dude-Move. The storyline, if you just play through as a single character and leave it there, is weak. However, while they may not be correctly...
Almost complete with the Rikimaru missions. This installment really knows how to extend out the gameplay. It has three separate characters to select, all with different variations in the missions. Then every level has three different layouts available once beaten. Each level has at least two...
Ninjas. Monkeys. Pie. The three universal elements that, if added to anything, becomes at the very least 900% cooler. Tenchu III:Wrath of Heaven doesn't have any monkeys, or pie as far as I can tell, but it makes up for it with enough assassin/demon/mecha ninjas to fill all of Florida...
I have not seen this announced here yet, but Amazon.com is taking preorders for the DVD now. Here is a direct link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...8DDXC/mugglenet 40% savings is close to $12 off the original $30 price tag, making for a total of only $18 for the 2-Disc DVD...
Why read the Harry Potter books? Because you owe it to yourself. None of my friends or family thought the Potter books would be any good, yet I have borrowed out my copies to around a dozen of them, as of this writing, and they all agreed... Once you finish one book, you pick up the next...
Oddly enough, I found another interview with Gilliam, where he talks about his current plans on "Good Omens", the Nike commercial, and even the new Potter director, Alfonso Cuaron. "Like many film-makers, Gilliam tries to avoid cinemas when in production. "It's about being diverted from your...
Thank you Vickie for the transcript. I just listened to the entire interview. As a big Gilliam fan and a huge Potter fan, I am not surprised that he disliked the first installment. While I would say that the first two movies are actually good (the second bordering on very good), there is...
Watched the clip and read the article on IGN. It looks like many of these Animatrix short movies are based off the already published comics (posted on the official Matrix site), but have major additions or take the concept further. The latest release "The Second Renaissance" is based on the...
April 11th, eh? I expected a late May release like the last one, but I am not complaining. THE GOOD 19 additional/extended scenes That could be anywhere for 30 to 60 minutes of more scenes! Interviews with J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and...

It is only a matter of time until someone sprays paints this under some highway overpasses.
Todd,
You may want to watch the Phoenix scene again sometime. When the phoenix arrives, it drops the sorting hat. Harry picks it up and we can tell that it is empty. Later on, we see the sword materialize out of thin air, half way in and half way outside of the sorting hat. I would call that...

The Good
Fun and colorful cast.
Excellent modern costume design.
Lively musical score.
Entertaining sword fights.
The Bad
CGI that rips you directly out of the element.
Bland and uninventive script that carries useless excess.
The Ugly
Agent Falco has nothing to do...
HP&SS 1/2

So, I enjoyed the first film more. That is not going to stop me from fully recommending the Chamber of Secrets to anyone. While the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone had a more magical, colorful, and enveloping presentation, Chamber of Secrets creates a better structured...
Quick question, how are the services for the Dreamcast servers holding up right now? Nintendo really seems to be pushing the Broadband adaptor, which is a good thing. The Dreamcast broadband adaptor was hard to get at first.
