    I thought Ronin was decent, but Heat was really good. That last bank robbery scene is INTENSE and it is my "surround sound test" scene of choice. Just amazing audio in that scene.

    The Professional (Leon) - is one of my faves of all-time. Saw that one in the theater and loved it... and then I got the director's version when it came out on DVD... AWESOME!

    Kicked in the Head - funny funny funny... guy says to his buddy who doesn't want to get drunk, "Man, you've got a drinkin problem!"

    Rumor has it Myers is working on a 4th Austin Powers movie that delves into Dr. Evil's past a bit more... I'm excited for that.

    I was always a fan of The Thing and I am hesitantly excited about a prequel being in the works.

    Wild Things is also going to be remade, with a new hottie on the block, Jillian Murray. Yay for that one.

    Where the Wild Things Are - This is one of those movies I avoid previews of, conversations, clips and pics... I just want it to be completely untainted when I see it. Don't know what to expect at all, just how I like it...

    Saw 6 - Just have to wrap up this mega series...

    The Hobbit - Not sure of the direction here yet, but I am jazzed to see what becomes of this one.

    Parallel War I, II, III - I have been writing this 3D Thrillogy off and on since I was 14. I missed the boat regarding the 3D movie screen transition 2 years ago and may never finish, but over such time you get to see more and more of my own ideas revealed in other movies and in actual science... seeing my movie theories proven or witnessed in science is pretty cool... Seeing my shots and other ideas in movies is not as cool...

    Agreed. This is hands down, Luc Besson's greatest film. It is probably also my favorite Gary Oldman performance. The Fifth Element is good too. I still need to see Nikita. I don't know how or why I have put that film off for so long.

    The Thing from Fantastic Four or John Carpenter's remake of The Thing? I hear Ridley Scott is doing an Alien prequel.

    Why not? I liked it a lot! It had some silly parts, but in general, it had awesome effects and a fairly decent story. Again, there were some parts I thought were stretching it a little too much, but in general, I thought it was decent. Fookin' Prawns!

    I really liked it too. Quite imaginative. There were some obvious problems tho. Why did they make weapons for humans if they needed their juices to repair the ship. Why did they land on Earth and stay here for so long if they had what they needed to repair their ship the HOLE time in space?! Sounds like a Michael Bay size hole to me! I liked it otherwise...

    Yeah, there were a few extreme scenes that made me cringe a little, but like you said, pretty imaginative. I dealt with it as best I could and still overall I liked it.

    Nope, a few beers in the movie didnt even help! I thought it was a joke at the beginning and that surely the movie would be starting shortly after the joke.

    LOL, yeah, I heard some people disliked the documentary style of the film, and thought the opening was a bit too long. Personally, I found it interesting and just a little different than most films.
