Ahh gotcha..

Shrek forever after.
Not bad...as per usual not at all on par with the first one...
I think they can lay this one to rest now.

Deathrace 2 (Stupidly titled).
For a direct to dvd I was actually surprised at the quality of this title.
It's basically an origin story of the original "Frankenstein" and how Deathrace evolved and turned into what we saw in the first (or, second) film.
Had all the atmosphere of the Statham title, and in my personal opinion it actually managed to exceed it a little...
In any event, not usually that into prequels...but I'd actually be interested in watching something that actually bridges the gap a bit more between the two films.
It's a good watch. Would make a great beer movie.
Felt very 80's to me. I liked it.

It was...weird.

YOU'RE weird.

Biloxi Blues: Such a hilarious movie. It's one of those rare comedies that never fails to make me laugh out loud no matter how many times I see it.

Donnie Darko: I never really got the huge appeal that this movie got when it was released. It's quite good, but nowhere near the "life-changing experience" that so many people tried to make it out to be.

I guess it depends on whose life we're talking about, eh?

Yours, of course. ;)

Green Zone

Nice blend of action and politics

Ditto.

As a straight-to-dvd prequel, it's really good! Along with the action sequences the way they managed & developed the story I think they did quite better job than the 2008 Jason Statham version.

You mean what happened to that hot chick Tanit Phoenix in between the 2 films? :D

The big difference between those two movies is that Loren Avedon could actually fight. Loved him. Especially in King of the Kickboxers. One of the best Martial arts movies, imho. And i also think the dude was a decent actor. Now, his co-actors on the other hand.. yuck.

Agree about King of the Kickboxers,love it,in fact I'm gonna watch that again soon.

I watched Blood & Bone recently and really enjoyed it too.I thought Undisputed II (Also Michael Jai White) and Undisputed III were fun also.

I just don't see anything in that movie that is so profound that it might have a huge impact on a viewer's life.

Oh. No. Wait. I guess if you're involved in a child pornography ring, Donnie Darko might spur you into taking some serious anti-fire precautions. :p
