oooh popsicles

will check out deliverence... seems interesting.

Max Payne will probably be horrible... but have to watch it anyway. Babylon AD will be a load of crap. Did anyone like the other sci-fi movies by Vin? Pitch Black and Riddick were tolerable, but not too original. I went off Babylon AD the second I heard them use the requiem song... its just been used too often... kind of like the bullet time sequence in the matrix.

Anyway, there is also a French film called Enemy Mine, came out a year before Star Wars, great sci-fi film to watch. In a war between Humans and another race, one member of each race ends up stranded on a planet, and the enemies have to work together to survive. The alien is a kind of amphibian who spawns a kid and then dies, leaving the human to bring up an alien kid. Great film.

Another good one for the 1337 is a film called Crash and Burn... shows up on HBO sometimes. There was a film I cannot remember with crazy animated sequences of a man who becomes a virus in a computer system and takes over the world. It was a cheesy b-grade type film with 18th century animation... can anyone recall this? Came on the channels here a few times. Anyone know cheesy tech films in general? With obviously stupid and wrong assumptions about technology?

This one used to come on Star Movies and many of you may recall it - the movie was called Fantastic Voyage and a bunch of guys get injected into a human body to get rid of a blood clot. Rather round about way of getting rid of a clot - but what the hell, it had long sequences of microscopic views of what's inside a human body. Dated fx, but a spectacle nonetheless.

Another film called Fantastic Planet - or le Planete sauvague or something like that in French. Explores co-existence with a hyperintelligent race. The humans are called Oms in the film (I donno why) and this one is a must watch for those who like animated films.

Anybody seen Dark City ( *www.imdb.com/title/tt0118929/ ) ? It's Matrix ka baap.... A great film by Alex Proyas.

I just saw it..swatti..i dont know y u ppl are going gaga over this movie :confused: its OK type..concept is gud...but nothing compares to matrix...even I think Back to the future series is gud than this film..but thats my opinion only :p

My rating for Dark city 7/10

Enemy Mine was a good film with effects pretty muct acceptable given the fact of an 80s movie. However its not a french movie, its an English movie. Moreover if there were any chance of it being release in any other languuage, then it must be German as its directed by the German Director..."Wolfgang Petersen" (Perfect Strome, In the line of fire, TROY etc are one his his few English hits.)

I think it was French, didn't sound german and I saw it with English subtitles. I didn't know the same guy made Troy.

@esumitkumar
The intricacies of the plot... the more you watch the Matrix, the more you understand it, the less you appreciate it. A lot of time they just take you in circles, and the biggest drawback is that there are a ton of char dialogues just explaining what the matrix is and how it works. Dark City goes sour in the end (the mind force ripple effect was weird), but tell me you didn't like the detective.

Also check out Films by David Cronenberg. He is the guy who made existenz. I like many of his films, Crash, the fly and videorome are ones I would recommend.

Babylon AD only about 6/10. Done well enough, though the movie wasn't very original.
It did have its moments though
<tiny spoiler>
Vin D's face when he's told he can't use foul language was worth seeing xD

Ya just watched it..Lian Neeson rocked..but for the first time Hollywood copies Bollywood.."Taken" story is loosely inspired by "Ek Ajnabee" :p

My rating 7.5/10

SPOILER ahead :

In both the films , the girl gets kidnapped...Amitabh is retired army man ..here Lian is also retired intelligence..Amitabh treats the small gal like his daughter...Lian's own daughter is kidnapped...Amitabh's old frnd Arjun Rampal is involved ...Here Lian's old French frnd is involved in this racket...

wat da ya guys say about my observation :D ..Finally hollywood copies bollywood ..he he he he he
