Some great model making and SFX for the time it was made.

Still not seen that. I'm a massive fan of the Ioan Gruffud ones though, he plays a good Hornblower.

Gruffud is great! I just wish the stories had stuck closer to the books. Still, they did a great job, and I have them all in my collection.

The Peck movie, likewise, is great, but it leaves a lot out (has to, since it sums up three different books).

Anyone seen The Rampage? Uwe Boll's new movies which is surprisingly getting good reviews.

I don't believe it

Gonna see it tonight and let you know how it was.

Well what'd ya know, it actually was a decent movie.

The main actor is great, easily someone you can relate to (well, before he starts to kill people atleast), the action (read:massacre) scenes are well done with variety of different angles to keep it interesting (tho, some might find the ever changing camera too much, but I liked it, gave chaos-ish feel to it).

The plot had few too many twists to it, I won't spoil it, but the end was disappointing to me, but hey, someone might like it.

Why this movie will probably never get the credit it deserves (for an Uwe Boll movie) is the gore and the few disturbing scenes that happens while he's on the killing spree. But there also are few moments when you actually juuust a little bit cheer for him killing someone (coffee shop scene).

All in all, you either love it or hate it. There's those who hate it and can't see beyond the gore and then there's those who start to think about it and say "Damn, that actually could happen the way our society is today".

Aaanywho, go see some reviews and make up your own mind whether to see it or not.

Reading Kiwi's list made me think of another movie I saw recently, Moon. Basically a guy is waiting out the last few weeks of a 3-year assignment to the moon, harvesting Helium-3. A fairly quiet movie, no action scenes or anything like that, but it's not a mind-screw either. Also Clint Mansell scored it, so the theme is pretty good.

Also, District 9 is up for instant play on Netflix (for everyone who has that), so I watched that again last night.

Cool! I wanted to see that one in the local art theater, but the timing was bad, so I saw 500 Days Of Summer instead. For a romantic comedy/drama that was quite good. I'll see Moon one of these days.
