I just watched G.I Joe: The Rise Of Cobra. It was fairly good, some decent action but there wasn't enough character development for me. That, and I didn't like how it ended, it seemed very anti-climaxtic (is that how you spell it?).
The best movie news I've heard in a very very long time. YES!
Excellent stuff. I watched the first one the other day, very good. I'm planning to go through the quadrilogy.
Not sure though, when I get to Alien 3 and, to a much lesser extent, Alien Resurrection, whether I should watch the Special Edition version or the original version. This goes for Alien 3 in particular as I heard that it's 30 minutes longer and that 3/4 of footage included for the "Assembly" version as it's called is not in the original theatrical version and that several. Any suggestions anyone?
I watched Alien 3 (Watched the Assembly cut, was told by several people who'd seen both versions that it was better) which was alright, had some decent moments and Alien Resurrection. To me, Resurrection was pretty meh, nothing that I found really bad but nothing I really liked. Also watched Metropolis (anime) and I'm planning to watch The Place Promised In Our Early Days next. Then after that, The Day The Earth Stood Still (original version).
@Terra: Resurrection was a silly film. Glad you liked Metropolis that's one of my favourite anime movies ever, the ending is beautiful and amazes me every time.
I agree Alien's is one of the best Sci-fi movies ever,I'm not a huge fan of the genre and find most of it way to cliched ,I mean why is everything in the future so godamn clean? I do like it when it's done in a gritty,dark way like Alien's ,Bladerunner,Star Wars etc. Best films I've seen recently would be Old Boy, Gran Torino and The Dark Knight.
Old Boy wtf! That was a great film, I couldn't believe the plot behind that one, that's one twisted revenge movie, I felt for him so much. And that scene in the corridor with the hammer was classic. Not seen Torino yet. But the Dark knight is just perfection, I've never seen anything so fantastic, yet realistic.

Ha Ha glad you enjoyed Old boy,amazing film ,that scene in the corridor was all one take as well.And the scene where he eats the live squid he did for real too. It's a shame a lot of people won't watch it as I know subtitles put a lot of people off, guess they'll have to wait for the w***y American remake as seems to be the fate of a lot of eastern films these days Hey if you like films like that have you seen Battle Royale?
EDIT: Seems the trailer you put up has since been removed on you tube.I'll check it out somewhere though. I'm looking forward to 2012 myself mainly because I have an unhealthy intrest in the Maya and the disruption of the human races comfort zone LOL.
"Hey if you like films like that have you seen Battle Royale?" About 12 times. It's Takeshi's Castle, with blood!
I love my asian movies and won't watched anything dubbed or any crap like the Ring remakes. Brotherhood was one I watched recently, really visceral war movie but excellently done. 2012 I'm looking forward to, but y'know there gonna find the skull and fix it before the end. I want destruction, like total!

I've seen Battle Royale. That was a great film, I loved the idea behind it. I do wish they'd stuck more to the Novel though, just on some of the little issues but it doesn't matter that much to me. Not sure whether to watch the sequel yet
@terranigma I'm gonna check out the novel now thanks @machu not seen the mist yet but it's on my list.Someone lent me Brotherhood the other day so I'll watch that one soon
Has any of you American dudes seen or going to see District 9? I know it's getting good reviews but I can't allow myself to read any of them. Anyone seen it? Is it as good as I am hoping?
I have to wait another 2 weeks but I can't wait! Aagh!
