Checking out the Apple trailers website, I noticed that there is a remake coming out in March. I think this movie is perfect for a remake with the advances in audio & visual special effects since the original. From the looks of it, they seemed to have pulled it off rather well. The new Cracken would have made that 9 year old planet wet himself back in the day.

Yeah, I always liked the greek mythology thing too. After Jurassaic Park, anything should be possible and I'm looking forward to seeing this one - hopefully, the story will be interesting...can't remember, but didn't Clash O.T.T. put together a mish mash of myths, such as Perseus, Jason etc.? I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of the Odyssey as well.

Rube-Here's a few others you might want to put on your NetFlix list: I'm a film historian and read spec scripts for studios, I see about 75 films a year (in a theater, lord knows how many at home on DVD) so here goes:The Rube wrote:The better movies I've seen over the past month or two (joined Netflix, finally):
Doubt (Meryl Streep, Phillip Seymour Hoffman)
Rescue Dawn (Christian Bale, Steve Zahn)
Edgeplay: The Story Of The Runaways (documentary; all of the Runaways minus Joan Jett, who apparently was being a beech about it, are present)
Maxed Out (documentary about the credit card industry)
This Film Is Not Yet Rated (documentary about the MPAA; VERY VERY excellent for movie lovers)
Gran Torino (Clint Eastwood)
The Savages (Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Laura Linney)
The Wrestler (Mickey Rourke)
As you may guess, I don't watch a lot of actual tv. It's movies.

Could say that "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is a remake of Odyssey, but it is so loosely based on the book that it is hard to say so.

Who Killed the Electric Car - doc
Layer Cake
KIss Kiss Bang Bang
Run Lola Run- get the subtitled German version, not the English dubbed
Memento
Murderball-doc
You can check most of these out on YouTube for a trailer. All some of my favorites; well written and well acted little known gems.

Thanks for the suggestions! I do have Memento and Murderball (really wanting to see that one)on my list, and I've heard good things of the rest, but it's good to know that someone who watches that many movies specifically point them out.

Then I saw a trailer in 3D and thought it looked better so I'd give it a shot. Went and saw it yesterday in 3D and WOW. FINALLY a blockbuster special effects movie that has a great storyline too. I definitely recommend it. It's a bit long...but there isn't a scene throughout the entire movie that I'd make shorter or cut completely. It flowed really well.

Sorry Matt...after your little post about Avatar's story already winning oscars...had to give you SOME grief.
I did like the Hangover, too, though.

Perhaps it's such a good story because it already won the best picture and best writing academy awards:

Pi is wonderful. Darren Aronofsky is a great director. Another one of his films was great as well...Requeim for a Dream..movie is so dark and disturbing.

Newton-John, star of the 1978 film adaptation of the Broadway musical GREASE, will play the mother of a teen hockey star. Michael McGowan, director and writer of the award-wining "Saint Ralph," will direct.
Aside from acting in the film, Newton-John will co-write and perform a song for the movie's credits with co-star and singer-songwriter from Canada Marc Jordan. Jordan plays her husband in the film.
The film begins shooting in Toronto next week and is set to be released on October 22.

Saw Avitar in 3-D and I have to say the FX were pretty good. I would have to agree with those who have said the plot was hijacked. Overall it was entertaining, though I could have done without the agenda.
