I rented that years ago, watched it with my girlfriend, she fell asleep within 10 minutes, and I thought to myself "Okay, it's dumb, but at least the action will be entertaining." Nope. I mean, come on...Gunkata?!? GUNKATA?!!!???!? That final fight sequence was pathetic and looked silly. The first "martial art" fight scene in Team America was more entertaining. I will never understand why people insist on liking this turd of a movie. There is a way to be derivative and still make good stuff (Tarantino anyone?), but this...AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!! So many good actors (Emily Watson must've gotten paid big or her agent put a gun to her head), so little good ideas, and a lot of dumb ones. GUNKATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, here we go again…Equilibrium.

Who among us hasn't matched wits with one of God's more disgusting creations and nearly trashed our house in the process? Well maybe it was just me and Peter Weller, but it was a cool flick. I'm pretty sure it would be considered a bomb, but whenever I stumble across Starship Troopers (the original) I can't help but watch it. It's the Beastmaster of the new millennium. Last - bucslim, good call on Park's revenge trilogy. Disturbing in places, but definitly great movies. I loved Of Unknown Origin.

So many people never gave this film a chance. It was definitely a victim of the "pile on" mentality of media critics and general moviegoers since the first trailer appeared. For me, it's in my personal top 5 (which includes Braveheart, The Crow, Godfather Part II, and Lord of the Rings) Another film I'd add to this list is Kingdom of Heaven, for much of the same reasons as Alexander.

WOW. In many ways, the action is superior in this movie than in The Matrix. The Gun Kata is an awesome idea and is shot in such a way as to make it a cross between The Matrix and any high-budget chinese martial art flick. Really the only thing I didn't like about the movie was the unusual casting of Taye Diggs. This guy is a terrible actor in the first place so putting him next to a great actor like Bale really makes him look even more terrible. I watched Equilibrium last night. WOW.

But Alexander and Sahara? These are just AWEFUL movies! They didn't deserve the money they actually managed to trick people out of!
