Taken is pretty much an hour and a half of Liam Neeson injuring very bad people.
It was awesome.

Planet Raptor (Sci-fi Original)
Wow, this one was a stinker. A combo of half way decent looking puppets, and 1980' grade CGI, and it took place on a mid evil style plant for no reason.

Star Trek: Insurrection (from my movie collection) - OK, nothing groundbreaking here. It was basically a movie length Star Trek Classic Series episode with The Next Generation crew instead of Kirk and crew. I will neither bash it into the earth, nor raise it on a pedestal. I liked it, though.
Marley & Me - Mrs. Negotiator and I took in an afternoon movie. OK, liked it. It's not a "reimagined Old Yeller" story either...
What? They've got Quantum of Solace at the $1 theater, but that theater's heat is broken. No problem, I'll still go see it...

AppleseedFun. First time I caught the entire movie. Hitomi needed more character development, though. There was a gaffe when an actor said "multiple-cannon" instead of "multipede-cannon."  Are there more Appleseed movies from the 80's-90's? I wasn't too impressed by the 2000's ones.

Appleseed I loved how every other word was the tired and true cluster F bomb. Half way decent OVA though. Not to mention the dub was down right awful (a trademark of Manga UK), with Karen having one of the most monotone and unemotional voices ever. Are there more Appleseed movies from the 80's-90's? I wasn't too impressed by the 2000's ones. I think i was just that one OVA R.Dan. |

There's the new CG one. I'm pretty sure it's totally different from the original manga and OVA except for having Deunan and Brearios the Awesome Cyborg.
Plus, everything is shiny. Especially explosions.

Best CGI I've ever seen. I love how the raptors all move in sync. |

I've never seen any Appleseed that wasn't the two CGI movies, unfortunately.
As for myself, I watched The Who's Tommy before work, and I haven't decided if I'm in the mood for Speed Racer, Die Hard, or Die Hard 2 to watch when I get off of here.

Fearless.
I loved that massive fight between Huo Yuanjia and Master Chin in that restaurant.

I loved that massive fight between Huo Yuanjia and Master Chin in that restaurant. Fearless was good, but Hero was better.  Also, Fearless sometimes felt like propaganda. I don't mean the hero's triumphs over the cheating Westerners. I'm talking about the one part in the movie where he finds complete and utter fulfillment from a simple life in the fields. It's probably just an innocent part of the story to develop his character, but since the movie is Chinese, it reminds me of something a totalitarian would say. Be simple, have no thoughts or worries but work; you will find contentment! That kind of thing. |

Heat Guy J Box sets 1-2 You know what, though? Splinter looks like it might be half-way decent. You know R.Dan, I got that feeling as well. From the previews, it looks to be of much higher quality (I use that word lightly though) than your normal Sci-fi original. I certainly hoping the monsters are guy in at least half-way decent looking make up, and not Sci-Fi usual jerky, grainy CGI, but it it's not; it won't surprise me. |

"Gaiz liek mah Prost3tic arm?"
Splinter (Sci-fi original)
Twas ok. Gore was pretty cheesy, like the part where the sheriff got ripped it half and the "totally realistic latex". Movie also seems like a bit of a rip off of the thing i.e it uses body parts from it's victims. Overall it was light years ahead of the normal crappy Sci-Fi original.
