Games coming out as movies is often a worry, many years ago I suffered the trauma of seeing Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat (two of my favourite games at the time) get completely destroyed i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif

Anime normally seems to do it ok though, I loved the Street Fighter 2 animated movie (but not Alpha) and also the fatal fury and tekken movies were tolerable...

What about the Alien vs Predator movie? I'm very worried about this...I heard the basic justification for the story to try and make it plausible, I read that in the story a scientist was trying to genetically clone or create (I can't remember which) a predator, on a planet with alien eggs on it...AvP2 is a good game (not played the first one cos damn XP won't let me i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif ) but I'm quite worried about this - I've not seen the Predator films but I'm a big fan of the Alien Saga and love all four films that have been released...so I'm worried about what this might do to the series i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif

alright i must say the alien vs predator has nothing to do with what you just said.

the movie is about scientist that accidently uncover and predator hunting ground and there happens to be aliens egg's. the pyrimid located in the artic is a big find and it just so happens that it has been like 100 years since the last battle, at this time it turns out that 3( i think 5) must return to earth and destroy the aliens as there right of passage, also the scientist find out that the predators enslaved the mayan and or aztec't to build the pyrimids and to hunt them down for the past few hundred years.

[JusDaMan]

Rush hour 3 is official =P
Chris tucker and jackie chan both is going to film rush hour 3
(originally jackie chan was about to retire and be replaced by chow yun fat as lee)

Their TALKING about making jumanji 2. aparently this involves the president playing jumanji this time...

AVP... isnt that similar to the crossover between freddie vs jason? which was mad cool watching the big bads fight each other... i wish though they would include mike meyers(halloween series).

Resident evil 2:apocoliyps is gonna come out soon. forgot when. THis time it involves 2 main characters. jill and the other girl. those 2 NEVER meet through out the whole movie... from wat i think i think its gonna be about fighting nemsis.

Johnny bravo live action will be star by dwayne "the rock" johnson.

Lets see wat else i forget... well watever

I CANT WAIT TILL Spiderman 2 and Harry potter 3... I will wait until 3am to watch that movie (thats wat i did for spiderman 1) waited until 2am and ended at 5ish. was worth it though

[Mut]

freddie vs jason was the biggest joke ever. wow, what a shit fucking horrible movie.

hopefully, avp will rock. it looks like it has a pretty good storyline.

[Trip]

Films I'm keeping an eye on (might turn out good or bad...):

Hmm, I did read about it quite a long time ago...must have been bad information I read...or maybe I just forgot i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

When I read the first line of your post I thought "thank fuck for that!" but then I read further down and it still sounds like its gonna suck, and it still sounds like its gonna fuck up the series...cross overs just shouldn't happen...they're almost always just a naff money spinning novelty (*cough* freddy vs jason *cough*). There are probably exceptions I don't know about....but I guess I'll have to wait for the film to come out to see if it'll do justice to the Alien series...the premise does sound a bit tacky though...

EDIT - I'll have to watch Rush Hour 3 as the first two were cool, and I'll no doubt see Resi 2...I hope its better than the original though I didn't think the original was quite as bad as everyone said it was...any film involving zombies is good for me i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif. Dawn of the Dead the remake was quite good and I definitely wanna see shaun of the dead - its meant to be well funny...

this movie will own all of the above mentioned. look at the cast, and the director.
(ghost dog is one of my all time favorites)

[sangai]

well a cross over couldn't b e helped because in predator 2 there is an image of an alien skull in there ship.. and the avp movies is looking really good.

[Rek]

Hey... what about other Classics? Double Dragons, Super Mario Brothers, FF: the spirits with in...

Face it... even Woo will have to work damned hard to make a decent movie out of Metroid...

the only decent transfer was RvB...

[Swallow Your Soul]

Never saw Super Mario Brothers (thankfully - it looked atrocious) though I thought the premise of the spirits within wasn't a bad idea...the novelisation of that is quite good...though the movie can be a little arduous to sit through...plus I read the novelisation when I worked saving up for Uni typing in postcodes...so reading The Daily Mirror probably would have interested me after 5 hours of typing addresses into a computer i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

...well...maybe not quite bored enough to read the Mirror, but you get what I mean i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[JusDaMan]

Jet li hero is gonna be another crouching tiger hidden dragon type thing. it came out in Hong kong 2 years ago. i find it very good actucally. but unless u kno atleast alittle knoledge of chinese history i dont think it would be that easy to get the story line

[Lego]

A good movie to see, but hard to find

Six String Samurai

i looooooove this movie.


http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1800024602&intl=us

The Russian dropped the bomb in the 50's. American is a wasteland ruled by the Soviets and roamed by mutants and warriors. Rock and roll is still king. In fact, Elvis is the King of Las Vegas. Buddy, a warrior who is as fierce with his sword as he is with his guitar, roams the desolate landscape with the Kid, his young compadre, battling various foes in hopes of finding Lost Vegas and becoming the next king. This independent production was very popular at several festivals in 1998.

[sangai]

alright sorry it took me so long to respond but the site went down./

spoilers and some plots revealed below.

alright over all the movie is very good. although the version i had seen was not complet. things like green screen and wires where visible and 3d models where rendered but han no skins or textures.

the movie is about riddicks just like before but this time he has to fight a "religion" called necro mancers. like before he still has a bounty on his head. this time its bigger then ever. the movie starts out with him being chased on a weird snow planet. i don't want to get into detail but. he has to stop these necro mancers from taking over and appearantly his race is the only race that can but he is the last of his race. eventually he runs into to old friends jak being on of them (the girl from the last movie) she is somewhat older and has a different name now. throughout the movie there is some amazing fight scenes and even some great 3d animation.

now i am told that there where two version of the movie a sequal to pitch black and a prequal. i saw the prequal. this is not garunteed but i am also told that they have to complty different endings. i won't be telling you guys the ending.

there is also another samurai movie coming to the us called zaitochi. its a samurai movie from japan good enough to come to the us so its got to be good.

[Mut]

i'm a huge will smith fan. i, robot will be an interesting movie.

[j00b]

my friend who loves pitch black told me about this awhile ago...it sounded awesome, and i want to hear definitely want to hear about it. There is a very good chance i will be at the movies on june 20th...i can drive with people under 20 in my car on june 16th, so it will be the first movie i can go to without having to go through all of the hassle of finding a ride.
