Talk about movies!
I just saw Drag me to Hell and Leprechaun in the Hood.
First one was pretty good, second one was pretty hilarious. Probably in a bad way.
I'm gonna see Alice in Wonderland possibly tomorrow. Pretty excited.

Alice in Wonderland is incredibly strange but it's one of my favorite movies now.

Alice was okay. Not really GREAT, but entertaining. Also, it kinda feels more like Narnia than Alice in Wonderland.
I watched part of Halo Legends (that anime Halo thing) last night. I don't really give a crap about Halo, but I figured that since I liked the Animatrix and Batman Gotham Knight, I might as well give this a try. Some of them were good, but I got bored after about 5 of the shorts, so I turned it off.
One thing I found entertaining is the short made by Toei, the same guys responsible for Dragonball. That one is... strange.

Ah, yeah, some other people said the same thing about Alice and Narnia.
I still feel like I need to see it though because the book was pretty sweet.

Just to be honest, Fizz, the Mario Bros movie is considered to be one of the WORST video game movies of all time. The only reason anyone would watch it is nostalgia's sake.

Is it bad in a funny way or bad in an "I just wasted a couple hours of my life" way?

alice in wonderland claims to be based on the book, but it's not. I've seen the movie and there's almost nothing alike, it's just a duplicate of narnia.

Yeah, that's basically true. I mean, it was based on the book but it wasn't the same story.

You guys probably don't know it's based off of American Mcgee's Alice, which is an incredibly fucked up version of Alice and Wonderland were Alice's parents died because Alice was too busy doing drugs to save her parents from a fire, and the drugs made here go to Wonderland.

Grec's just screwing with you, Fizz... mostly. The Alice in Wonderland he's talking about is a video game from a few years back (which, strangely enough, is getting a sequel soon). The game is unrelated to this movie, however.

Well, it is based off of the novels. It has themes from Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and his poem on how not to write poetry, Jabberwocky. It follows the details of how each specific character is formed, but has a unique storyline. This, is basically Tim Burton's sequel to Alice in Wonderland.

Sorry for double-posting, but I just saw possibly the WORST movie I've ever seen in my life. My sister saw it recently, and decided it would be a great idea to subject ME to this awful mess. What movie did I see? None other than Twilight: New Moon.
God... just God. That movie was like going to the dentist. I hated every minute of that garbage.
One thing I did find funny was what happens to the vampires when they step in sunlight. Bear in mind, I've never seen a Twilight movie, or read the books. The only thing I knew was what I had heard, and I had heard that the vampires glitter in these movies. I thought that just meant they were wearing glitter makeup or something, not that the lit up like ****ing Christmas trees. I burst out laughing as soon as I saw that. I couldn't actually believe they put something THAT stupid in there.
Another thing I found mildly amusing was the dvd cover. Now, usually, dvd covers have a quote of some sort, from a reviewer that liked the movie. New Moon has nothing. Which leads me to believe that they couldn't find a single damn movie reviewer that liked it.
So... yeah, New Moon sucks. Anyone that seriously enjoys that horrible movie needs to go jump off a cliff, because there isn't a single redeeming quality about it.

Whoa, that Alice game looks crazy. Mostly in a bad way. Really, completely in a bad way.
Edit: I haven't seen New Moon but I saw the original... yeah. Dumb.

Just saw "Repo: a Genetic Opera".
It's a musical. I'm pretty sure it's a remake of a not-musical. But anyway the premise is that tons of people have been having organ failures for some reason, so they get transplants, but in a lot of cases they can't afford those transplants so Repo Man goes and repossesses (holy I love mexicans that word has a lot of "S"es) their organs (as in, cuts them out of their bodies). It's a weird premise, but it's fucking amazing. Really.
Goth opera. Blood saga. Sometimes I wonder how we ever got here.

Edited by me this time.
Seriously, no one should really be complaining that Avatar is a ripoff. A bunch of movies have the same basic premise, it's not like Avatar was the first one to "borrow" it.
In Avatar's case, I think Cameron was really making the movie to show off the great world he had created, not tell a completely new story.
There, my mini Avatar rant is over.
Back on topic, I saw How To Train Your Dragon yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised by it. I was expecting something fairly generic, but HTTYD was actually quite good.
