And, my Aunt used to be on a 70's TV show about 3 hot lady detectives...

I grabbed the 20th Ann Transformers DVD set the other day and was kinda disappointed with it. The Japanese toy commercials are awesome as are a few of the extras. And don't get me wrong, because I love the movie, but the newly enhanced "color correction" is crap. All they did was tweak the brightness and contrast of the film and ended up blowing out noticeable colors. Hot Rod is freaking near Pink now. At first I questioned my TV settings, but they're fine for everything else and Optimus and Magnus remained red red. They have a side by side comparison and not that the old transfer was great, it just shows they only attempted to brighten it up.

I broke down and bought Tron as well before I go looking to rent it again. Damn Honda Civic SI commercials!!! I am always impressed with Tron though. Everytime I watch it.

i've still been wanting the 20th Anniversary Transformers the Movie DVD but i keep hearing there's nothing much to brag about with the sepcial features and the "remastering." i'll probably get it by Christmas though, just have to find the right price.

I was upset with the $17.99 price tag. Any other 2 disc set sells for $15 or less in the initial week of release.

First look at the Fantasticar for the FF2 movie coming up next year: http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2006-11-29-fantasticar_x.htm

Thanks for that link Oak, I think that looks great, I'm glad they didnt go too futuristic with it (that wouldnt have looked right at all, I dont think)

I got to see Bond over Thanksgiving break, and I loved it. Daniel Craig did a really good job portraying Bond, and the girls were amazing. It was a little long at 2.5 hours, but it didn't drag at all.

This is such a great year for movies

Has anyone seen Apocalyptico, whatever that new mel gibson movie is? What's it about? Like what's with all the hype?

Oh hot damn: http://www.f4movies.com/news/0423.shtml

Can't wait to see what Silver Surfer looks like on the big screen.

it's as slow as you make it out to be...
as long it's never a slow day for oakley-passion

Saw Rocky Balboa tonight. Awesome movie. It almost recaptures the essence of the first movie without doing it in a cliche way. Well, not too cliche anyway. The movie starts off hesitantly but soon finds its groove, and I was even surprised by Sly Stallone's acting range in a certain scene (I'm sure most of you who see the movie will know what I'm talking about). Humorous and gripping in mostly the rights spots, this movie gives a 8 out of 10 from me, especially how it ended. 2/10 off for the cliche moments and the rough, choppy start

Oh, and I love the cameos. Boxing fans will recognize a lot of faces and most people will get a chuckle from the appearance of a certain someone that always shows up for some trouble. And this time it's even funnier since he's screaming something about charity.

Saw "Casino" and "Deja Vu" recently, both very good flicks and must sees. To my surprise, Craig did a pretty good job has Bond but not a formal Bond, a more laid back Bond if you will. Denzel is great in Deja Vu and it is set in current day New Orleans too if you have not have enought Katrina aftermath shots yet...

Saw Fearless with Jet Li last night, what can I say, it was a pain to watch; so much cliches and melodrama, too long of a movie, really good intentions but fell very short has its just a reharsh of stuff we have seen lots of time...


Miami Vice wich I saw today was much better, that Michael Mann movie was not as great as the masterpiece that was Heat, but it still was entertaining and visually grandiose.

Pretty good movie, that has little in common with the serie of the same name...

Apocalypto is awesome! Adrenaline rush, chase movie.

Saw The Protector on DVD (aka Tom Yum Goong). Tony Jaa's stunts were brilliant in it as usual. The 4 minute straight, uncut fight sequence was spectacular, and the steady cam work moved the fight along incredibly. Overall a very nice package. It's only a matter of time before Jaa does a Hollywood flick and becomes a household name like Jackie Chan or Jet Li. With the stuff he's done and the attraction of Muay Thai, I don't doubt that he'll eclipse both of them if given the chance.

Not quite sure if it's better than Ong Bak, but it's just as good at the very least. For those watching the North American DVD release, skip the US theatrical version on the first disk and go right to the international release on the second one. The US version cut so much out of it that the story doesn't make all that much sense. The international version, while suffering from really heavy accents, had a much better cohesiveness to the story.

I watched that a while back. No subtitles, so I have no idea what they were saying, but I heard it was still perferable. I think the stunts were better in Ong Bak, mainly because the crew didn't mind being kicked around a bit. In Tom Yum Goong they seemed like professional stunt men who know how to fake the kicks and punches. But I did like that they didn't do they triple replay after most of the stunts. That got annoying fast in the first one.

You guys need to catch Jet Li in his latest flick Fearless...killer. I hear its his last marital arts flick?
What could he do now, really?

Something better then Fearless thats for sure, still traumatized by that movie...

I should see the "Protector" any day has its on its way in the mail, seen that one Eric?

No not yet, Oak, put that in the next batch please ! :)

Whoa, cool designs for FF2 and Spidey 3:

I saw Ghost Rider tonight, and I can see why it got the negative reviews it has. It's a choppy film with corny dialogue, a forced romance subplot, and uninteresting villians. Having said that, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm an occasional fan of Ghost Rider, so I may be partial. Yes, it has cheesy dialogue but Nic Cage always puts out a great performance, always making his characters thoroughly enjoyable to watch with his quirky personality. The Ghost Rider character was a lot of fun to watch and was pulled off well, even though it wasn't the best CGI work ever.

Overall, I'd recommend it as something everyone should see in the theatres.

Glad I passed on that one yesterday :) Told you !

I saw Fearless some time ago and I really liked it.
The stunts and fights were great and the story is a very good adaption - very authentic.

But you should watch Fist of Legend, Li´s best movie in my opinion.

Concur with Oak on Ghost Rider too. Saw 23 last weekend and its pretty good for a thriller.
