Not that this is movie, but has anyone seen the mock trailer for the Hobbit? The music's awesome!
Check out the FOSS game Sumwars
Wish I had more time for composing music...

Same rushed piece of lion dung as the first.
Agreed. As far as I see it, it's a big ripoff of LotR with a crazy storyline. I've always found Narnia to be extremely dumb anyway, and the movies have done nothing to improve my opinion (though granted, these movies are better than the cheesy BBC version, which was pathetic in the extreme... flying cartoon skulls with flames shooting out of them? Not my idea of the evil enemy soldiers).

Gambit, I didn't expect to see you for at least a couple of days since the FedEx guy was supposed to show up this morning for you. ;)

You know, I don't really hav a a favourite movie.I only know that it ISN'T Avatar. Lord of the RIngs is great, I've only seen Part I so far though.
I'm really looking forward to the Hobbit.

I watched GIjoe the other day, and was bored out of my brain. The characters.... suck. especially the baddie ninja (storm shadow. Can anyone think of a more cliché and stupid name?)

The stupidest bit I thought was when he joined the hilts of his katanas together as if he thought he was Darth Mall. Not to mention the fact that you get much more maneuverability and versatility with just one in each hand.

The sotryline and blurb made me feel like I was watching a beefed up episode of Kim possible.

So yer, there's my rant on a bad movie.

Just watched LotR II. Was quite dissapointed. I was better.

That scene where Legolas boarded down the stairs in the middle of thousands of orcs nearly made me cry...
but I just heard about an Oliphaunt killing scene in III that is even worse...

The oliphaunt scene is pretty badass, albeit with some fairly iffy CGI - Legs simply doesn't look real in it. The shield-boarding down the stairs is horrible.
