| I'm with you buddy. The Nolan Batman movies are really cool. I know the titles invoke Frank Miller, but they really seem like the Conway/Adams Batman to me. Sorry-- comic book geek here (CB Geek) with apologies to CE Geek, of course.

| On another note--anyone here watch either of the Being Human shows-either the original BBC version or the SYFI remake.
I watched the US version first and liked it. Then I found the BBC version on demand and really like it too. The stories are similar, but they seem to diverge. I'm hooked on both. But then I am a Forever Knight fan from way back. Secretly hoping that they will bring Nigel Bennett on one or the other for a guest. Or recurring guest role. I find his Lacroix to be the best bad guy ever.

| Nah, I never liked Batman Begins or Dark Knight. I think the Tim Burton movies are better, even if Batman Forever was childish at times. I still think their stories worked great. Batman and Robin wasn't produced by Tim Burton and everyone wanted to forget it
On the other hand, the newer Batman movies simply don't make sense. I honestly don't remember much about them. |

For those who like a description before clicking on a link (hint: me ), that's Total Recall remake.
I agree that was a good movie. But good movies can be remade too, obvious example: King Kong.
By the way, I really wanna see Rise of Planet of the Apes. Anyone?
Also I did watch Transformer 3 about 2 weeks ago. And I already forgot what was in it. That's how forgettable it was. Ah wait, yeah, the movie started with a closeup shot following the girl's buttocks (in underwear ) as she walks around the house. And I watched it in 3D too. I remember that much.
C:Amie, that really reminds me of the scene in Batman Forever, where Bruce Wayne saw a rorschach in Chase's office and thought it was drawing of a bat. Edited by takwu 2011-07-29 8:34 AM

| I just finished watching the new Planet of the Apes movie....and I'd have to say it was simply outstanding.
I rarely like remakes...but never truly was impressed with the first "Rise of the Apes" movie. And with the remake of "The Planet of the Apes," I liked the movie until the last scene where the astronaut comes back and finds a parallel ape culture and crash lands near the Lincoln Memorial.
But this movie...great story line, great acting, great special effects, great everything...absolutely no complaints. I'd have to give it a 9.9 ut of 10, reserving that last .1 for the ultimate movie.
Go see it...you won't be disappointed...and there was only a single corny cliche line that referenced the original POTA movie in the entire film.... |

| I hope I can see the new movie. But I think when the guy landed on Earth to find the parallel ape culture like you said, it was a setup for a sequel/prequel (in time-travel movies it's confusing) that showed what happened while he was gone and before the first movie.

| Well...uh...we were too late to see either of the movies I wanted to see (conveniently ) so we saw the movie she wanted to. We won't get into that at the moment!!! Anyway we rented a great movie last night called Sucker Punch. It is a strange movie and if you don't pay close attention you could be lost, however, I recommend anyone to al least check it out. It is a mix between Sci-fi/Fantasy/Crazy/Action and amazing CGI...It has giant Samurai's, fire breathing dragons, steam powered zombies, ect...
That is if you can talk your wives/girlfriends into letting you watch it...   |
