    Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

    How did an excellent actor like Bill Nighy end up in an unmitigated load of crap like this? Who watches this stuff? It's a stupid question I know.

    I escaped from the TV room where my wife was watching Criminal Minds - which must be one of the most formulaic, predictable pieces of crap on TV - and this is what I ended up watching on satellite in the big room. It's enough to make you slit your wrists.

    Oy vey.

    He seems to be one of those actors, like Michael Caine, who, while talented, sort of view it as a job to be worked hard at, and so don't turn down projects if their schedule is open. Plus he was in the earlier ones.

      Nigel, don't be shy. Tell us what you really think about the movie. It was a stinker wasn't it? I'm a big fan of the original, and the second was still entertaining, but I don't know why (other than money) they made this one.

        Yeah, I haven't seen this one. LOVED the first one... so much good story background behind it. Second one didn't live up.

        Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

          First was OK. Didn't see the second and plan to pass on the third.

            If you are a fan of the series, it is not as bad as you guys are saying. I own the BD but it is worth a rent for sure. I actually liked it better the 2nd and 3rd time I saw it.

            Criminal Minds BTW is a pretty good TV show. Somewhat mindless and bottled yes but I still keep up with it. This season has been pretty stinky though. Season 1-3 are good.

              Movie Marathon Times
              by impala454
              So I'm one that likes to run marathons (no not on foot :P). I thought it'd be cool to have a ready made list of various good ideas for movie marathons and have the time required to watch one listed all in one place. I figured I'd share a few of the ones I've come up with and see if anyone cares to...

              Whoa, this one sailed under my radar. Werewolves, Vampires, Kate Beckinsale in tight black leather :T

              Looks like it might be pretty dark and cool. I'm hoping for better than Resident Evil which was a bit of a mess in my opinion.

              I just hope they can avoid using the music...

              I hope this one lives up to expectations. Kate Beckinsale is Selene, a ferocious vampire soldier in a war between vampires and werewolves, that just so happens to be in love with one of the werewolves. The trailers look good - something of a combination of The Matrix and Blade. This...

              by Glen
              Hey all.

              I want to pick up the movie Underworld.

              What do you think - should I get the extended version or the Superbit version? Can't decide. :huh:
