Stranger than Fiction Once again a funny man tries a straight movie in a Kaufman-esque story that blurs reality and fiction. Jim Carrey has successfully done it more than once in Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine and now it's the turn of WIll Ferrell. Will's character Harold Crick is an IRS auditor who is as boring as his job. Has a strict routine to his day, no real friends and no life....

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) Appparently it's a prequel. I will admit to loving the 1st film, not so sure about the sequel. It does have Bill Nighy in it though and I do like him as an actor

Does anyone know when the Hobbit is due out onto the big screen???

I've been searching forever now for the title to a Scifi film I saw when I was younger. I have no specific names or words that would narrow my search, only some basic aspects of the plot. What I know is: -the film is set in a dystopian future where it seems to rain all the time, and there is rarely, if ever, sunshine. - the film follows the lives of a few children, (maybe at a school...

Re issue of the original thread. Are you enjoying the series? I thought this weeks was realy good (CGI was a bit tacky). but the story is starting to get interesting now.

I was going to add these comments to the I.T Crowd thread, as a bit of a Boosh conversation was arising in there, but that would be derailing the thread even more so I figured I'd make a new one. I think there are a few Boosh fans around the place who might want to contribute here (hopefully!) and who knows, maybe we'll get a few more Boosh converts along the way! Probably not quite science ...

Legend of the Seeker Aa upcoming TV series based on...wait for it...Terry Goodkind's Wizard's First Rule! In the US, it will be airing on WGN starting November 1st. I know he doesn't get a lot positive words when he's mentioned around here, but it'll be nice to see some fantasy stuff on TV even though Goodkind says he doesn't write fantasy; it is what it is. I enjoyed his ...

I had heard that Hellboy (the original, not the recent sequel) was a cut above the average comic-based superhero movie so I gave it a spin. Well, it was watchable, like an episode of Die Hard featuring supernatural beings, and it did have some wry humour, so it gets an "OK". I've also seen Galaxy Quest , about the jaded cast of a long-running TV space opera who are whisked off by ...

Hey, I saw a movie trailer for the film Wall-E. Based on what I saw in said trailer, I'm so there as soon as the movie hits my theaters. I propose a thread just on trailers. What's new? Does it inspire you to want to see it? Why or why not? Here's a link to a Wall-e trailer. Yes, I want to see the movie. Why? Uh, robot, duh. Oh, and might just be a truly inspiring love story. Final ...

Sky One returns to Virgin. Should be back on sometime mid November.

I've changed the thread title and going to do some merging. Now there is more infomation on this film, what does everyone think? Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hands up who'd love to see a movie done based on the animated series called Visionaries??
