Thread: Last Movie You Saw

    Children of Men: 2/5

    Stupid ending.

    I would have much preferred to see the pregnant chick at the end be all pro-choice and be like SCREW YOU and get an abortion just to spite the director and all those bad actors.

    She aborts. The world ends. Simple.

    My favorite scene was when Michael Caine asked the revolutionaries to pull his finger and they just blow it off instead. That scene had potential.

    Another good ending would have been the black chick with child gets picked up by the boat that says TOMORROW on the starboard side. Now, follow me. Number one, she's kind of cute. Sailors like that. Number two, they need to figger out why her womb is so badass. So? How about a sailor gang bang?

    She gets on the boat and they take turns. I mean, its for a good cause right? They need to populate the earth again and only her womb works. So, party-time.

    Prince Caspian

    4 out of 4

    Great story, wonderful effects...kept a 7 and a 10 year old enraptured for the entire thing. Kept the 5 year old pretty well entertained for 1/2...and that takes A LOT to do!!

    Kill Bill I & 2. Both 4 of 5. If you like blood and guts and special effects, this is your flick.

    Fox, did you ever see Anthony Mann's "Fall of the Roman Empire"?

    About a year after "Gladiator" hit the theaters, I saw FotRE on late-night television. Ridley Scott obviously got his inspiration for "Gladiator" from it; at least 80% of it came from FotRE; it was a well-made epic.



    A luscious Sophia Loren portrayed Lucilla, Alec Guinness was Marcus Aurelius, and Christopher Plummer was the charismatic, but mad Commodus. Omar Sharif, James Mason, Mel Ferrer and Anthony Quayle also performed. Steven Boyd's wooden Livius (reformulated in Gladiator as Russell Crowe's Maximus) was the film's weak spot.

    "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" *** out of four.

    Fun, but it is the weakest of the four movies.
