Yes, you gotta have an open mind that it is just a fiction. I have done some research before watching it and yeah, what it says in the movie doesn't stands up.

I can understand why it stirs a lot of controversy because it riddles the very faith of Christianity.

Yep, that's the one I'm holding out too.

Don't bother. It's shit boring. Well, if explosions and half-assed gadgets are what keep you entertained then maybe it is a goer, but if you want a little more, give it a miss. Don't get me wrong, i am no film snob, i like an action/thriller as much as the next person (ie Bourne Identity and Star Wars films are great) but this was no Bourne Identity. I'd even prefer a James Bond film - the worst thing about MI3 was it was trying to be something else. At least with Bond it doesn't take itself too seriously. 2 out of 5

CULWULLA · May 29th, 2006, 04:35 PM

^ what a bummer.oh well ill wait for video, or maybe a sunday night on tv.lol
The next big movie coming out soon is THE OMEN. Its stirred a lot of shi beacuse it opens on 06/06/06. Many expected mothers are also asking there doctors not to have there baby on that day. try to hold off. struth.

***BrizzyChris*** · May 30th, 2006, 01:57 AM

I love superstition...it keeps me entertained.

Aussie Bhoy · May 30th, 2006, 11:02 AM

I thought X Men 3 was OK, but not as good as the first. Few suprises in it, obviously they may be wraping up the series, although the ending did leave open some possiblities. I heard some of the cast are not that keen to keep going.

I loved some of the San Francisco views, especially the bridge scene.

One question, how did it go from broad daylight (start of the bridge scene) to dark night (Alcatraz scene) so quick. I guess they can just say a mutant did it.

Alibaba · May 30th, 2006, 01:04 PM

Halles' Storm may have done it.. he he

agree - some inconsistency in that film !

Love the cat fight b/w halle and that other mutant !

San Fran got a few exposure in that movie hey ?

Anton · June 3rd, 2006, 03:29 PM

We are watching the Posiedon Adventure. It is sooooooooooooooooooo bad. not the new 2006 movie but the crapiest peice of crap 2005 tele-movie. OMG it is a shocker. Acting is shocking, special effects laughable.

SOme good films i saw are The World's Fastest Indian (feel good movie of the year, the Indian is actually a type of motorbike) and Tso

Yeah, at least one scene from this movie was shot in the alley behind the building
in which I work. I walked by the filming crew one day during lunch time and asked
one of the production people whether I could be an extra, she said "yeah, are you
with an agency?", I was like, "um, no .... is that necessary?", and she said "yeah"
then turned around and started talking to other people ...

When I was at Archerfield during the week I saw "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Vinnie Jones, they are filming an action movie called "The Condemned" in SEQ.

'Cars' Pushes Limits of Computer Animation

A scene from 'Cars'
A scene from 'Cars'
A talented young race car learns what is important in life when he gets stuck in a small town in the new feature from Pixar, the animation studio with a history of family hits including Toy Story, Monsters, Incorporated and Finding Nemo. Alan Silverman spoke with director John Lasseter and his star-studded voice cast for this look at Cars, a film in which all the characters are Cars.

Lightning McQueen is brash and cocky to the point of being reckless; but this impetuous youngster is the newest star on the 'Piston Cup' racing circuit:

Lightning ignores the advice of veteran racers who warn him that he cannot really succeed without teamwork and loyalty; but it takes getting lost for the rookie to learn that lesson, in a dusty town on old Route 66, the highway that ran through the heart of the American west before it was bypassed by high-speed super-highways.

The town, its motorized inhabitants and scenic surroundings all come alive through vividly realistic computer animation, far more detailed than even Pixar's previous hit films:

"This is by far the most complex movie Pixar has ever done. We really brought the computers to their knees rendering this movie," said John Lasseter, creative head of Pixar. He returned to directing with Cars for the first time since the Toy Story movies.

"We did research by traveling down Route 66 and when I went to these old towns a picture said 1,000 words," he added. "You could tell that they were once vibrant but had been bypassed long ago and no one comes here anymore by the rusty signs, the faded paint, the cracks in the sidewalk, the grass growing up [and] the dust everywhere. All that stuff just tells you the story right there."

But Lasseter says 'all that stuff' was a major challenge, even for a team that has led the way in computer animation innovation:

"The computers don't give you anything for free," he noted. "You can't go on location with a computer and just film something. You have to create it yourself; but all that detail adds up. Every time you add a pebble or grass blade or dust it is adding up to make the complexity of the scene in the final rendering."

That attention to detail attracted Oscar-winning actor and veteran race driver Paul ****** to provide the voice of Radiator Springs' crusty old judge, Doc Hudson a 1951 Hudson Hornet.

"I did it mostly because I knew it would be good, because Lasseter was working on it at Pixar. That would be the first consideration. That it was about racing was just a bonus," said Mr. ******.

"These are good folk around here who care about one another," he added. "When is the last time you cared about something besides yourself, hot rod?"

The residents of Radiator Springs include trusty old tow truck Mater, voiced in the English version by comic actor Dan Whitney, better known as his 'redneck' TV character 'Larry The Cable Guy:'

"Mater is a good friend, a faithful friend," said Mr. Whitney. "Mater is a small town guy. What Mater finds interesting, other people might find boring and I put myself in the same category. I'm a small town guy. I try to help people out along the way. I was taught that way and in many ways, Mater and I are exactly alike."

There's also Sally Carrera, a sexy little Porsche sports car, voiced by Bonnie Hunt:

"What's the first thing that you fall in love with when you're a kid? Animation," said Ms. Hunt. "You're mesmerized by it, you fall in love with the characters (and) then when you grow up and you're in this business and you get to be the voice and it all comes to life ... it's unbelievable. I am so thrilled."

At the heart of Cars is a simple message: in life, the journey is its own reward ... something John Lasseter says he learned only a few years ago on a family road trip with his wife and five sons:

"Everybody thought we were going to be at each other's throats," he said. "The opposite thing happened; we got so close as a family. It was so special and I came back and said 'I want this movie to be about what I just learned: that the journey in life is a reward."

Cars also features Owen Wilson as the voice of Lightning McQueen; and several real life race drivers do characters, including Richard Petty and Darrell Walltrip.

Jimmy James · June 12th, 2006, 06:10 AM

Wow - I might watch Ghost Rider when it comes out then.

Does anyone know about this Superman movie - if I like Smallville am I gonna hate it?

***BrizzyChris*** · June 12th, 2006, 02:09 PM

Saw Cars today. Good movie. Not quite as good as The Incredibles or Monsters Inc., but far better than alot of the other CG junk out there now.

CULWULLA · June 12th, 2006, 02:20 PM

^oh really? i was hoping it was as good as monsters ect. oh well as long as the kids like it.
