Actually, tell em the best movie is Weekend at Bernie's, that might sting a bit more. :D

As for Star Trek, I like it. I've watched only a dozen or so episodes, and one of the movies, which I thought was really good. I forget the title, it was the one where Picard and Kirk are falsely accused of murdering some ?Klingon? bigshot and are forced to work in this really creepy mining colony. Cool flick! :tsup:

I just watched Spiderman 3. So that would be a "no". Wrote a sort of review here, and this one (the top one) also describes it well.

Yeah, Spidey 3 was a snooze fest. But then I wasn't especially moved by the first two, either.

I saw it a few months ago. It's a very powerful film, therefore I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. But for those who like art films, it's a must see.

Well the scene when they drive away hitman,with the black rangerovers(or whatever the car was)
There is a building on which says "Mtel"
And just a little left you can see a corner of a building.Thats my school! :-D

And Sheraton is okay.I was there soon(getting a price of 300$ for being a good student).
And i guess Alexander Nevski is also okay...its a church ffs!They wont hurt it -__-

And the russian-turkish border...well,cant say it exists >_>

They can, enough characters and if you see the scene after the credits you'll find that Xavier can return. In any case what is more probable is to get Wolverine and a movie about young Magneto.
I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.

Yeah. And some say even Cyclops will return...and I thought he vaporized thanks to Dark Phoenix?

Yeah I noticed the scene after the credits. Its Xaviers braindead twin brother (well not anymore). In stillbirth. Xaviers mutant genes made his twin stripped of mentality, thats why he turned braindead, while Xavier got the power of extreme telepathy. The scene hinted at that Xavier somehow have inhabitaded his braindead twins body and mind. So we may get to see the same actor again who played Xavier, short said, Xavier will return, thanks to his twin.

I indeed wonder about how Logans past were like too, before he got experimented on that is, hes one of my favs, well Hugh is a great actor and Wolverine a great character for him to play as.

Something that thrilled me with the first scenes of Xmen 1 were "Whos that jewish kid??" And since I saw Xmen 3 before the first one. I figured out quickly that it was Erik himself, bending metal for the first time :hoo:

Me personally thinks, that besides the lousy effects, X-Men is the best superhero (besides the wrestling ones :tongue: ) movie made so far. Spiderman sux all the way; the Fantastic 4 was not bad, but not that good either, so...
I wish I can find "the Mist" with a good quality...
Besides, I have found "the Cassandra Crossing" on the net. These days got to watch it :)

Just watched "Cinderella Man" - pretty good; usually boxing movies (or any sports movies, for that matter) are full of "Rocky" material. You know, half an hour's worth of watching the fight in slow motion. This time it was more about the things around the fights, and I liked that.

The Original SW effect where and still are pretty great because they look real (coz they are)... you know, worn out, made of actual plausible looking matter etc.


Oh, and imo Tobey doesn't make a very good Spidey... otherwise the first 2 SM's are fine.
