Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.08.29 19:14:00 - [1] Point one. It wasn't a doorknob that stobbed the alien, it was the shelf that was partially placed in front of the door that stopped the alien. He eventually found his way out though as you see him at the end of the movie. Point 2: And when Mel Gibson was talking to M knight in the scene just before the pantry, M knight's character stated that the aliens have been avoiding bodies of water so he kinda clues you in on that. Not to mention the daughters fixation with leaving glasses of water laying around and the things the wife said in the flashbacks. Knight builds his movies specifically to leave clues and see's who figures it out. As for my movie I'm going with The Matrix. I like the first movie altogether (I thought the other sucked). It had a great storyline from start to finish with a ending that could mean sequal but also could be left right where it was. The only scene that bugs the hell out of me was when Neo was fighting Mr. Smith in the subway station and he gets knocked back by the stairs. He gets up and thinks about running then looks back at Mr. Smith and does a incredibly stupid dramatic pose. No matter how many times I watch the movie I always laugh at that one scene. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive
Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.08.29 19:37:00 - [2] I will agree though with the water part. I was watching it with a friend and we could just imagine marines with guns and tanks getting owned on the field then the camera zooms to some hillbilly sitting on his proch with a case of beer and his garden hose. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive

When Keanu Reeves killed himself I thought what a great ending. Then it continued and negated the whole film for me. Yeah. That was pretty weak. American films seem hidebound to the idea that a movie must end on a happy note. In fact some of the best movies are the ones that allow themselves to stay dark and bleak (e.g The Departed recently or for an old one to Live and Die in L.A.). Hence why I almost never watch 'scary' movies. They've gotten to be beyond predictable. Like when the idiots of the group blatently leave a group and walk right into a dark, evil like atmosphere and start saying hello or is somebody there like 15 times. Your always left with generally 2 people, 1 male, 1 female. Then they put in some ending where you suddenly realise, OMGOOSES, that the monster or whatever isn't actually dead. Who didn't see that coming. Then action flicks must have 50 or so explosions. It doesn't matter what time period you put it in, theres an explosion. Take the scorpion king for instance. They pack a couple bags of gunpowder around a single pillar and yet the following explosion looks like they were playing with C4 or Comp B. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive

Who didn't see that coming. Yeah, but there are good ones. Stuff like Psycho, Alien or Omen (I know they are old) are really scary. The movies that you are describing are from directors with no imagination of their own. Its just copy-paste directing. Ive often wondered if I think older movies are better because im getting older myself (im in my 30's) or if they really ARE worse than the old classics. If you're reading this and is 16, maybe you feel that todays scary movies are the best ever, and they are the ones you'll remember when you're 30 too. Maybe it just works that way. Yeah what made Alien great was the completely random loud sound that would just come out of no where or something would jump out when you LEAST expect it too instead of the dramatic music or silence trying to build a scene up. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive
Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.08.29 20:56:00 - [5] Originally by: Tarquin Tarquinius In Star Wars Episode I, the whole space battle sequence was terrible. Bad acting all around plus a six year old blows up a capital ship by accident. "NOW THIS IS POD RACING!" So much suck. Luckily the movie was ruined long before that. Who puts their ship reactor in the HANGAR BAY! ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive
Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.08.30 04:28:00 - [6] Originally by: Epoch Originally by: Sharupak Originally by: Lazaroth Alien 4: when that stupid white alien hybrid comes out and kills it's mother?!?! WTF!! Laz Yeah it was good through aliens, then 3 and 4 came out and that was the WTF! LOL! I liked alien 3. one of david finchers first films 3 was ok but didn't quite have the 'feel' of the series Not to mention it had to compete with 2. 4 should have just been flushed for the crap it spewed out. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive
Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.08.30 18:04:00 - [7] I've got one. I think it was called mission to mars or red planet or something. Basic storyline was we sent a crew to mars but the crashed landed and so we sent a second group to mars. I can't remember if the second crew had the same issue of crash landing but they find a survivor of the first crash who had converted the shipwreck into a greenhouse. Any ways throughout the whole movie they've got you thinking that theres some kind of beast or something on mars and everyone was in trouble then they had a budget cut in the last 15 minutes of the movie or something. They find out the face on mars is a old alien base and one guy suddenly decides that he'll use the last alien ship there to go meet them and he's all content with possibly never seeing human civilization again and everyone else is happy and holding hands and stuff and your sitting going 'OMG 2 hours of my life wasted in these mere moments! WTF just happened!' ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive
Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.08.30 18:57:00 - [8] Originally by: Natasha Kerensky Reign of Fire I thought the movie was AWESOME for about the first hour, then it totally fell apart. It was like, the writers only got paid to do half the first half of the script or something. At the very end of the movie we find out that the dragon thats been slaughtering everyone for the past decade is really just a big ***** that can be killed with a crossbow to the nose Don't leave out the part with the squad of elite soldiers that traveled around killing dragons like they were nothing then immediatly get wiped left n right as soon as they meet up with the civilians. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive
Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.08.31 03:49:00 - [9] Originally by: Admus Ocean's Twelve. I enjoyed the first one quite a bit, good storytelling and action, fast-paced and witty. The sequel was ok, I suppose, but the part that totally ruined it for me was the "Julia Roberts pretending to be Julia Roberts" bit. Didn't like it at all, just didn't sit right. Plus, the movie itself was in general slower and less exciting than the first. Yeah the Julia Roberts part was pretty corny but what got me more was the part where they explained to the French guy how they got the egg. Who seriously puts a priceless artifact into a backpack and lets some regular Joe carry it onto a commuter train. They could have come up with something better than that. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive
