Expectations have always played a huge part of how much I enjoy a film...taking Bad Boyz II and Nacho Libre, where I thought they'd be terrible and was pleasantly surprised by both.

Playing Madden '08 for the 360. Wow, is it an improvement of '07, while suffering from the same problems every Madden has, mainly blown blocks, it's still a very, very good game and I'm havin' a lot of fun and challenging frustration. Highly recommended for those that don't want to shell out more th...

Many Movies...

I discovered imdb.com one day playing around on the net at work, standing in a kiosk in the mall. That was about seven years ago. Three days ago I discovered that I had rated over 900 films...and now having looked year by year back to '96 at this point it's at 1200. That's about three months of my l...

I agree with Matrix about Keener...somewhat contrived at times...but still decent.

What would you consider an Aussie film then? Just wondering what you mean.
Think 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of The Desert'.

A friend of mine pointed out while watching the film that Clooney's character's sister's fiance didn't have a northern Wisconsin accent...

Well, that's not my opinion :P - I found Titanic sort of interesting but (I'm not sure if this is valid, but as an Aussie, I notice it) too bloody American (runs for cover). Avatar interested me more. So I guess the moral is, go check it out for yourself. :D IMO, it had some good tension in the sec...

It was good. Solid across the board, not preachy or overly sentimental. Very good.

Yeah, it makes me nervous that it will be another Titanic disaster at the Oscars. Then again, I haven't seen Avatar, and can't judge until I do. Titanic was better than I thought it would be, but it still was a pretty average story supported by good special effects. Come on now...while overdramatic...

Decent?!

Damned brilliant, more like. :P
Like I said, fresh back then, but it's fairly shallow, though funny...decent film.

Yessss......that would be great. This and Burroughs' John Carter movie are long overdue. Maybe not quite so much as Beowulf, but you get my point. :biggrin:
