Viking + Aliens = GODLY WIN! :D

Outlander (2008) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462465/)

Post by: frankcapri on January 27, 2009, 10:31:30 AM: It sounds so ridiculous to be true, so I imagine I'll be nothing but disappointed if I ever see it :D

Post by: CMF on January 27, 2009, 02:33:46 PM: Sounds good but is it really?
These movies are usually full of action, but in the end, they are just full of crap.
At least, imdb gives them a good rating. :-\
Title: Re: This Movie Sounds Awesome
Post by: frankcapri on January 27, 2009, 02:37:32 PM: It'll probably be awful, but it gets points from me just for the plot idea.

At this point, I'm pretty immune to watching crappy movies since it seems like I watch
more of those than good ones ;D

Post by: oothefuxthat on January 27, 2009, 02:54:51 PM: rotten tomatos don't rate it highly, but looks alright to me

Title: Re: This Movie Sounds Awesome
Post by: CMF on January 27, 2009, 03:28:13 PM: It is from the same producer as LOTR, so I can be assured that at least effects will be good.
Anyways, I am acquiring it just for the plot. :D

Wow, I couldn't make it through the first one... :-\
Title: Re: This Movie Sounds Awesome
Post by: ohcheap1 on February 12, 2009, 10:18:40 AM: Really? I liked those films. Not in a horror sense but I get sucked in by the whole darkside thing.

Title: Re: This Movie Sounds Awesome
Post by: knownassociate on February 12, 2009, 10:31:35 AM: I've seen the trailers for 3.Watched part of the first one but it just didn't grab me.
Title: Re: This Movie Sounds Awesome
Post by: dweez on February 12, 2009, 10:33:27 AM: I loved the first 2 underworlds (have to watch the 3rd I guess to complete the trifecta). Kate Beckinsale is just the uber-hawtness in it. Too bad she's not in the 3rd.

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.
Title: Re: This Movie Sounds Awesome
Post by: dweez on February 17, 2009, 10:21:29 AM: Ah, it didn't really ruin it. Besides we knew it was gonna be there from the other 2 movies.

Thanks for interpreting JH.

Post by: frankcapri on February 18, 2009, 03:28:13 PM: They failed very badly with the casting of the Baroness in that film. I will not be watching that movie as a result >:(
Title: Re: This Movie Sounds Awesome
Post by: ohcheap1 on February 18, 2009, 04:46:21 PM: Well given the script she had to work with I think she did quite well.

I'm sure the script is just as bad as all the GI Joe cartoon movies. I was just saying
that they could have done a lot better casting the Baroness.

Post by: Robin-Graves on February 24, 2009, 01:32:04 PM: I saw previews for the new X Men Origins movie,,,Wolverine.
Man,,I think its gonna be good.

That's the movie that came to mind for me also. I didn't see it because I thought it would make me sad/mad that they'd badly hacked a good idea. Pity...mayhem and weapons and mud are good fun. It's hard to think how they could mess them up so shamelessly, in either instance.

Post by: ohcheap1 on March 01, 2009, 06:14:53 PM: My sister wanted me to ask about a film that came out the the mid to late 70's early 80's about a family that took an RV out in Australia and they stopped somewhere and the son got out of the RV then the RV plunged off a cliff and the family died. She said she thought there might be a bear involved and that the boy scaled the cliff to find some old hermit type guy that came out to rescue him and took him back to civilization. Name the Movie!!! Go ahead........I dare you. I dont have a clue. But she wanted me to post it on the site to see if anyone recognized it. ***discuss amongst yourselfs***
