Don't tempt me! Speaking of which, the commentary track on that movie is also very funny. No, but seriously, it's a good flick, and it's got more laughs than Saving Private Ryan, so there ya go.

Been re-watching some Naval movies to celebrate my enlistment. SPOILERS ahead...

Master_and_Commander-The_Far_Side_of_the_World_poster.png


Awesome film... though I'm not nuts about how easily the Surprise crew was fooled by the "completely dead" French at the end. Really, guys?

Again, an excellent film that's almost certainly Tony Scott's finest hour to date... but the final scene is too Hollywood-mawkish for my tastes.

Also excellent; Baldwin is terrific, the script crackles with intelligence, and it all feels a hell of a lot more plausible than the other Ryan movies. But, once again... that final scene of Ryan and Ramius chatting is totally unnecessary, and what's worse, is shot in a totally horrible-looking blue night filter. There's a one-cut fan edit/fan special edition for sure...



Finally, one that's not too naval-themed - but does have a US Sailor...

All I can say is... wow. What a movie. And its latest dvd transfer looks absolutely amazing for a 1957 film. We're damned lucky movie fans to be living in this day and age. And, of course, there's Obi-Wan himself, in what I think is the first non-Obi role of his I've seen.

Miss March is actually pretty funny. It stars 2 of the "Whitest Kids U Know" and is much better than the trailers led me to believe.

What hook? Fired up was very enjoyable. I cant say the same for Miss March though.

^ Are those not the ones that have the colors all screwed up? Or was that a previous release?

i actually enjoyed Miss March as well. Fired Up was also another go-to movie when I would like to enjoy mindless entertainment. but both are definitely better than Dude, Wheres My Car?

Fellowship of the Ring was re-mastered with greater resolved detail, removing the excessive Digital Noise Reduction and Edge Enhancement that was on the Theatrical Blu-rays. Unfortunately, someone screwed up in the pipeline and gave the film the "trendy" teal tint and dim highlights that are popular in most blockbusters today... a lot of arguing can be found at AVSforum and Blu-ray.com.

The Two Towers and The Return of the King went untouched, but benefit from the higher bitrate.

Excellent film; didn't have a problem with Ford's accent at all. And yet, for the third straight time on this thread, a submarine movie piles on a totally unnecessary final talking scene. What gives?!

If this doesn't at least get nominated for Best Picture, the members of the Academy will all urgently deserve a punch in the face. A.

^ I had to turn it off 30 minutes into the film. Couldn't stand it. Recycled material, actors recycling themselves.

That film definitely disappointed me. SPOILERS.




It was an alright film, not to question, but definitely not what I was expecting. I was expecting a big ensemble film with some funny women. Instead, I got about 15-20 minutes of that and 40 minutes of Kriten Wigg moaning about her sucky life doing some mildly funny stuff. The funniest situation was with the cop car, and considering that was at the end of the movie, quite disappointing.
