Much much much much better than ID4

I finally got to see it. I was really getting tired of Cruise's love life and antics being discussed in every other magazine and newspaper, so I wasn't really expecting too much from Spielberg's latest. I didn't care much for The Terminal and I didn't enjoy Minority Report too much either. I think t...

Are you in there?

http://www.kingkongmovie.com/ef239524432ba87f1ca8f70eed4b1fa7/en_large.html Well, cuz it's Peter Jackson... hope it works. I do remember the version with Jessican Lange and Jeff Bridges, by DeLaurentiis, bit silly towards the end, but Rick Baker as Kong was really cool. I also seem to remember that ...

About the names of the tracks on the soundtrack CD

I have asked about this in another thread, but it turns out that the names of the tracks are different species of bats, and if you take the initials of the track names four through nine, you get B-A-T-M-A-N spelled out.

Once it ended, I couldn't remember any of the music

Once the movie ended, I couldn't remember any of the music. There are no themes! A lot of Zimmer's contribution reminds me of Black Rain, but that's about it. I just got the soundtrack CD, but haven't listened to it just yet... The movie? Better than the previous films (Burton and Schumacher) but no...

Yes, lick the toad!

Finally, a trailer for this delayed movie.
Check it out at:
http://movies.channel.aol.com/franchise ... rimm_movie

Can't say that it looks like a Gilliam movie, even the trailer is just another trailer, but there's some humour there.

Can't wait to see it.

TG4D Thank God for digital!

Read this about Disney's upcoming re-inventing of The Love Bug, and it refers to its star Lindsay Lohan: "Disney technicians were forced to plough through numerous scenes - especially those showing the busty actress jumping up and down at a motor racing track, reducing her breasts by two cup si...

what's with the score's track names?

I too am not too sure about the two composers deal, but what I've listened to is ok, but not great. Same happened with Episode III, maybe it gets better with repeated listening. A German site has samples, plus the last two samples are complete rather than short snippets... http://www.batmans.de/news...

A million years

In the final trailer at apple.com, doesn't Tim Robbins say that they've been waiting a million years to exterminate the human race? So I'm wondering how does he know? Does the movie have characters that speak alien? It better not have Apple Macs that can hack into alien spacecraft! The effects look ...

It was going well until...

Initially I was excited to learn that Chris Nolan was directing this. The teaser trailers were fine, but when the final theatrical trailer came out, my disappointment began. The trailer gave away way too much, and what I saw stopped being interesting. I am really hoping that I am wrong, and that Nol...
