Tron: Legacy (2010)
9/10
New TRON brings back story WITH visuals in a time where most films fail.
23 December 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I saw TRON LEGACY opening night and admit I was looking forward to it very much, as I enjoyed the original TRON. After being disappointed with several reboots and sequels to beloved childhood classics (such as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and the new Star Trek reboot) I learned not to set foot into a theater these days with high hopes. I was ready when the lights went out for a typical retake of a classic filled with flashy effects and adolescent humor without substance or story. I was wrong. This film does NOT disappoint for TRON fans nor people new to the story. It picks up 28 years after the original and puts the pieces together perfectly with the son of programmer Kevin Flynn being whisked away into "The Grid" and beginning a search for his father, who disappeared when he was 7. The feel of the film is dark,furious and action packed but, unlike a lot of modern films, it has a wonderful balance of Story, acting, music AND effects, instead of just relying on effects. If you are looking for something different and exciting, look no further, The Grid awaits you, more deadly and tricky than before! Buckle up It's a bumpy ride!

Waterworld (1995)
8/10
Waterworld, the more i watch it the better it seems.

It might not all make sense but compared to todays junk films this is a masterpiece!Recently the long awaited "Extended Cut" was released on DVD and what a disappointment,(with the exception of finally releasing the 30+ mins of deleted footage),and its a disappointment because the studio effortlessly gave the fans a TV version of the extended cut(a TV version,meaning all the cut edits and censors the violence and the profanity/nudity.)Makes no sense to me.It wouldn't be hard to keep everything the way it was,but instead we get something that was broadcast on ABC and it clearly boils down to them kicking the fans faces by giving them what they want but yet insulting them simultaneously with a TV edit.

its better than "Beast"
3 November 2008
I saw it recently at a screening at a fellow Futurama nerds house. It wasn't what i was hoping as a fan but it was much better than what was in "Beast with a Billion Backs". but then again, that story was AWFUL, so i hope the next brings us fans back to "FUTURAMA" standards....It does finally bring forth new ideas other than stupid pointless ones, and it is worth buying unlike its previous offering, I really would love it if the show was resurrected, almost as much as if the original "STAR TREK" was given the chance to complete its 5 year mission rather than 3...but that wont happen... this film, while obviously a "made for video" release, is MUCH better and more entertaining that "BEAST" trust me....

I love this movie and can't see why it's getting a bad wrap.

I have always been a fan of this film since i was a little kid and even as i reached maturity i still enjoy it. man y people harp on this film because it "rips off" Indiana Jones... I think it has obvious similarities to Raiders of the Lost ark, but certainly not a "rip off" and i am a fan of Indiana Jones to the extreme...but thats another story.. point is... if you like low budget adventure mixed with good old 80's cheesiness, this movie is perfect for you. I recently picked it up at a yard sale on DVD and HAD to pick it up. It's full of amusing jokes and cannibals and of course Sharon Stone is easy on the eyes, though her performance is substandard to say the least, but damn, is it entertaining.
