    I see a lot of people complaining about the dogs driving the planes. I think it was just meant as a joke from the writer. You know: "dogfight" !

    I also though Indiana Jones was entertaining, and upon multiple viewing, some of the irritants disappears (like the three fall or the groundhogs). I still can't get over Tarzan-Shia thought. I really liked the sci-fi approach.

    MOST IMMERSIVE MOVIE SCENES....

    The most immersive scene ever done is the Omaha Beach invasion in Saving Private Ryan. I would also add the incredible one-shot action scene at the end of Children of Men.

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    That exactly what I thought would happen. I expected that big black prisonner to push button and blow the prisonner's boat. Obviously, I was really surprised when he threw the detonator away. It's one of the strenght of the movie; you really don't know what's gonna happen.

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    I think Batman didn't think it through and just went for Rachel because he loves her.

    Unanswered Questions at the movies

    For the unicorn, it obviously means that Deckard could be a replicant, but it's not sure! (unless Ridley Scott said he was sometimes ago) For the Memento part, I don't know what it means!

    Time to Thrown Down! 2007 Top Ten Lists

    Finally caught up a bit of the late year releases. 1- ZODIAC Whoah, I didn't expect that movie to be that good. I was totally compelled by the investigation and the detail in the movie. Very well made. Fincher does it again. In 1995, Se7en was my movie of the year. 2- The Bourne...

    From Pixar in 2007: Ratatouille

    I also saw the movie yesterday. It is my third best Pixar movie after The Incredibles and Toy Story II. I give 4/5 for now, but get the feeling this could go up. One thing certain, it is the best movie of the year so far. The images were spectacular, well-written and really entertaining. 4/5

    Universal, we might have a problem - Children of Men (pls. ignore posts before #22)

    The problem is not Amazon related. I bought mine at Best Buy and am having problems playing it in my 360 add-on. The disk is unreadable unless I insert/eject the disk 3 or 4 times. When the disk is succesdully read, though, I don't have any problems afterwards!

    Bridge To Terabithia (merged) - Discussion

    I agree. This actress has the most charisma I've seen in a long time. She has a Dakota Fanning's vibe, without the freakiness. Just look at her smile when she's running against the boys. There's an absolute sense of joy conveyed there that's almost contagious.

    A Conversation with Universal Studios Home Entertainment

    The movie I'm most psyched about is by far LOST IN TRANSLATION. I'm not sure I would upgraded from SD for the others though.

    Best trick/twist ending in a movie? (spoilers, of course!)

    I've got another one: Wild things Cant remember what the twist was, except that it was AFTER the end credits. I think Mortal Thoughts had a good ending (that movie will Bruce Willis and Demi Moore)

    Best trick/twist ending in a movie? (spoilers, of course!)

    What was the twist of the "..red" movie with Tom Berenger? You might talking about "Betrayed", though I'm not sure there was a twist in it.

    Best trick/twist ending in a movie? (spoilers, of course!)

    Let's also add The Matrix and Dark City both of which has a similar twist.

    Best trick/twist ending in a movie? (spoilers, of course!)

    Yes it was Shattered. I loved that twist! The character Tom Berenger is looking for is none other than himself. Other movies that comes up: Mulholland Drive The whole character switch. Pan's Labyrinth Not really a twist, but Ofelia's death was quite a powerful way to end the movie...

    Best trick/twist ending in a movie? (spoilers, of course!)

    The best twist ending ever are obviously these two as far as I'm concerned: Psycho (Mom related) The Empire Strikes Back (Dad related) In the underrated department, I'd like to add The Machinist where you really understand the psychology/breakdown of the main character.
