    Apocalypto

    Saw it yesterday and here are my observations:

    - The movie is too gory and has a big collection of gruesome scenes. Cannot be watched with children.

    - I also feel that it was overdramatised

    - The location is mostly in the jungles, Jaguar looks unreal from the first shot itself

    - Sound and picture quality is good but didnt feel the need for DTS track.

    - First 30 mins get a bit boring.

    I still enjoyed the movie. It wasn't too different from Last of the Mohicans in my opinion as far as one of the storylines goes.

    I will agree that this shouldn't be watched with children. Pan's Labyrinth is another one not for kids.

      Well, I watched this one with the wife tonite. I thought it was a pretty good movie. I agree, not for the faint of heart. Subtitles were not a problem, because you really get caught up in the movie. Good PC and the sound was OK.

        I just watched it not knowing what it was about.
        Me and some buddies were like WTF? I was confused because I didnt know what the movie was about...

        It was very gruesome. Not my type of movie.

        I will agree the subtitles were not an issue, yes I got into the movie, but again, It was too bloody for me.

        Ill pass.

          So the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete blu-ray was released this past Thursday, April 16th, in Japan. It won't be released in the US until June, but I just finished watching the movie, so I wanted to post my review.

          Even if you already have the Advent Children DVD, this is...

          Unfortunately I cant give a review as I was about to watch and low and behold its in Spanish (and hence subtitled). I was very disappointed because subtitles totally take me out of the movie experience. After all, I want to WATCH the movie, not read it (isnt that what books are for). The last movie...

          Well, seeing as my RPTV died, I thought I'd go to the movies, which I don't do too much. Actually, quite a few movies at the theaters I'd be pretty interested in seeing, but chose Pan's Labyrinth...after clearing it with my wife and the mom of a friend of my 14 year old daughter. The reason I bring...

          Please limit to no spoilers, but brief description of plot lines ok, without spoilers.

          I watched a movie with Woody Harrelson, about a Russian train ride, involving drugs, corruption, and their journey. Trans-Siberian I think it was. It was actually pretty good. Of course, Woody is...
