Evil Genius

well saw doom, i guess u can say compared to all the terrible games-turned-movies over the years, this isnt as bad but still a pretty bad movie

damn and i was hoping this would be the breakout role for the rock

Ive never had any good expectations for that movie to begin with. Well okey a little perhaps, but since I saw the trailer they all went down the drain

Rock has already had his break out movie which gave more movies. It welcome to the jungle with Stifler.

Well didnt he have his brakethrough with "The mummy" movies where he played the scorpion king?

Just seen "Dark Water" (The US remake). Wasnt any good at all.

It wasn't bad either

Well it was really bad for a horror movie.
The scariest thing in that movie was when the laundry machine was filled with water. Oohaa!! Scary, hell no.
No the only good US remake is gonna be "The ring" for me.
The scene in the beginning when you see the corpse in the wardrobe. priceless. That sent a chill up my spine the first time I saw it

well if u expect scares from doom, ull get more scares from the american remake of the grudge

well jus noting that the rundown was real good, but walking tall was a bit of a letdown, and be cool was a bit of a letdown tool, so i thought doom would really start to put him into the hardcore action actors category like stallone or arnold

Yeah I think the Mummy was one of his breakthrough movies. But he was in good movies before that.

And I saw that movie last night, when I was very bored at midnight. Funny Movie.

i found it amusing that there is some scene in Doom where they actually switch to the first person view to imitate the game.

I think ill watch it just for that.

yeah the FPS sequence is the best part of the movie, very intense, too bad it was for like 2 minutes

Dark Water: Cool movie, nice and well played papers, but NOT ONE DAMN SCARE! The (ever beatifull) lady Jenifer Connely is scared to death, and I would be too if I was in her place, but not a single one watching the movie.

Doom: I wanna see it, since I'm not expecting absolutely nothing from the movie. And I like the Rock. He's funny...he, gay as it gets, on Be Cool was priceless...

I am not even going to bother with the US Dark Water, the Japanese version was terribly boring. Its a damn puddle of water, quit freaking out and get a towel.

Your doing the right thing here Gaiseric.
Its just as boring as "The grudge".
I even saw the original and still I watched the remake.
So stupid. I still wonder why they found dead corpses in the attic in the remake, cause they never explained them

if ur talking about gore, yeah it is pretty gory, atleast they got that part right of the game, that its very gory.

it was interesting at first, for like the first 40 minutes or so, but then it was the same old same old. the snooping around was cool, but since doom was pure mindless action, you expect a big firefight soon with the monsters but kept on going on and on with the creeping around in dark areas. very disappointing, if you want more spoilers, there is one that will totally be a turnoff for you guys

I have rented Azumi,The Avaitor and the family have rented Kung Fu Hustle,Layer Cake so its movie night tonight.

I have wanted to see those for a while and now i can except KFH which i saw in the movies but it will still be great to see it again. Stephen Chow is amazing in movies like this.

About Doom i like The Rock so i will see it only for him.

You got to tell me what you thought off Azumi later Libaax. Im really cuorious about it.
The Aviator is a good movie to, not to mention Layercake.
And I love KFH, still havent seen his first movie though.
Come to think off it, all movies are good. Seems like your family got good taste Libaax

Edit: Sorry Libaax ive fixed it

You havent seen Shaolin Soccer yet??

You have see it now!! Go rent or dl now!

About the fams taste they got it from me. I went my two sisters and Shaka Zulu to the store. Shaka choose KFH cause of my ranting about every sec after i saw it, the sister choose Layer Cake cause i made them by saying how great it was


Gotta go now cause its time for KFH now and the fam are waiting for me.


P.S man stop butchering my name

Shaolin Soccer was funny but I didn't saw KFH.
Have to get it soon.

I expected KFH to be better. The beginning was good, but afterwards, it was too much/too exagerated.

Pshhh, I thought the original japanese Ju-on (the Grudge) series was good. The first one was made for TV so the acting was god awful, but the story was good.

I liked the original Dark Water too, eh whatever. I didn't even bother seeing the Dark Water remake since i heard that it had almost the same exact scenes ... so i wouldn't enjoy watching a direct immitation like that.

The american remake of the Ring was good, especially since it completely goes off in a different direction than the original, at one point.

Yeah it becomes almost too much in the end but its also what is so great about the movie.

I saw the extras apperently the movie was about hailing the old too much fantasy kung fu flicks of the 60's that Chow and co growed up with.



After watching KFH a second time i must say sometimes it was better than Shoalin Soccer and sometimes it wasnt. It was better at the pure comedy parts and the action comedy. But when it got too much fantasty as some parts it wasnt better. Despite Shaolin Soccer was about jumping around and playing soccer with kung fu it never got too much.
