I can give you more examples:

- Natalie Portman - Just see "Closer".
- Cristopher Lee - see his part in Lord of the Rings, and see the "Its obvious this discussion can't be decided by our knowledge in the force, but with our skills with a lightsaber..." Man, that is so fucking totally crap!
- Ewan McGregor - he's known to be one of the more versatile actors today. True, he saved MANY of the moments in all 3 movies ("Why do I sense we picked up another pathetic life form?", "Good Job! (as anakin says he came to save him)", and "Another perfect landing..." but in the overall, he could do SO MUCH BETTER! Man, did any of you got the special old trilogy? Lucas directing is simply:

Lucas - CUT! That wasn't good
Hammill - Ok...how should we do?
Lucas - Hmm...Faster, more intense.

Man, he say this ALL THROUGH THE FUCKING MOVIE!

I say the old trilogy is SO much better then the prequels because he hadn't money or technology, so he HAD to put emphasis on the story and the characters. And the best movie (for many, MANY fans) - Empire - wasn't even directed by him! Watch it, and see the difference in acting in Empire from the rest. It's just so "slap you in the face" better directing and acting...

Ok, sorry - I can talk years about SW...don't wanna piss off the rest of the guys

I'm getting too off-topic.

Your not alone in thinking that the old SW movies was waaay better then these new ones.
George Lucas should just gather all off the tapes/DvDs from the last ones and burn it all, and pray to god all off humanity will forget he ever made them.
Anyone seen "Layercake" ?? Yet another good movie

Posted: **Thu Oct 27, 2005 7:44 pm**

I was so close seeing Layercake in the movies but my two friends didnt wanna see it cause it was brittish.

I wanna see it now loevis is it out for rental or did you dl?

Posted: **Thu Oct 27, 2005 7:48 pm**

Funny you should ask, it came out on DvD here this week actually. So it should be rentable by now

Posted: **Thu Oct 27, 2005 7:52 pm**

Nice i havent rented a good movie in a long time.

Posted: **Thu Oct 27, 2005 7:56 pm**

Well I cant say that the video stores down here in the south have all the new "hot" movies. I wonder if they even get 2 new movies per month even.

Posted: **Thu Oct 27, 2005 8:00 pm**

Where i live they even have new movies from korea etc so they should have a brittish movie.

Man you make it sound like a rarity. If it is, I fear for you. There is probbaly a slew of good flicks you missed

Posted: **Thu Oct 27, 2005 8:11 pm**

No its not a rarity for me. But in school it is, not to mention for everyone else for that matter also.
Oh by the way, anyone seen "Azumi" 1 or 2 ?

Posted: **Thu Oct 27, 2005 10:13 pm**

Heh i was just gonna dl Azumi cause the people in piratebay hail it.

saw 2 looks like a movie that can either live up to the expectations of its predecessor or a movie that really shouldnt have had a sequel such as blair witch 2

Posted: **Thu Oct 27, 2005 11:13 pm**

Saw was nice if saw 2 is as good it will more than enough.

the one thing that i dont like at the moment is that amanda is being played again, which totally works against the theory that jigsaw does these games also for the benefit of these hopeless people learning to value life

Posted: **Fri Oct 28, 2005 2:29 am**

Please, oh please god, never remind me again of Blair Witch 2...just like Mortal Kombat 2...made me want take my eyeballs out!!!

Posted: **Fri Oct 28, 2005 1:50 pm**

Mortal Kombat wasnt good to begin with either buddy

Posted: **Fri Oct 28, 2005 4:08 pm**

I can watch Mortal Kombat to death, but if I watch Mortal Kombat 2, I'll be dead. Not that I love it, but holy shit...MK2 it's THE WORST MOVIE EVER!!! Rivalizing with Highlander 2 and Blair Witch 2...

Posted: **Fri Oct 28, 2005 6:58 pm**

mortal kombat was alright, sure beats any of the other games-turned-movies made by that faggit paul w.s. anderson

Dude, I watched Unleash last night, and that shit was off the chain! Seriously, I really liked it. It had good plot, superb acting, even from Jet Li, and of course the action was exciting. Go check it out!

DOOM was pretty bad. Bad script and story. The way they jumped around from going into the base and running to the exit constantly made it too confusing to follow at times. The absence of any real demons also was a disapointing factor. The five minute FPS part was probably the best part of the movie then they had to follow it up with a crappy hand-to-hand fight. Not like I was expecting anything good from the movie but at least it tried more then some others.

Good acting???? JET LI????

heh, this one I guess I'll have to see, I avoided it because, I don't dig his american movies. But I guess I'll try and see it tonight.

Posted: **Sat Oct 29, 2005 6:16 pm**

Its not a US film, I think its french. Amazing fight scenes, I didnt care for the plot or acting though.

Posted: **Sat Oct 29, 2005 6:27 pm**

French eh? Never knew that, thanks.

I'm still going to check it out though.

Posted: **Sat Oct 29, 2005 11:28 pm**

Um, I don't know where it was made, but I was thinking they were supposed to be in London or something. It has Morgan Freeman in it, and he's a masterful actor. The main bad guy did a really good job too. The actual plot has deep but subtle philosophical meaning about a man discovering himself. Jet Li doesn't have a lot of lines, but I think he did a really good job with his body language and what lines he did have. It was a great part for Jet Li, because he wasn't required to speak a lot. He really did seem to portray the boyish nature he was supposed to have, as well as the vicious dog he could become. It'll make more sense once you see it, but I look forward to hearing what others thought about the film as well. I really like Jet Li's movies, and this is probably my favorite.

Actually, the director's French, he's actually the same director for Nikita and (I think) transporter or something. The action's done by Yuen Woo Ping, the guy that brought you the action in Matrix, so the action scenes for this movie has got to be good. It's not a French film though.
