"HG Wells uses his own time machine to try and catch Jack the Rippetr, who was his freind". No one makes things with interesting concepts anymore.
definately one of the hits in David Warner's hit-or-miss career.

and a suprisingly sensitive performance by malcolm mcdowell ...
I liked that one as well.Always was a fan of time travel movies.

I like that it didnt pull the same "Paradox" shit that EVERY time travel movie has to incorporate...
I love the Terminator movies (never have/will see 3....), but even they had to play around with that.....

Frequency? get the fuck outta here.
I heavily agree with Equilibrium and A Simple Plan

jeffery jones was a monster in real life too
The Mothman

Well, I agreee with the following:
13. Deep Rising (C'mon, it was a fun film)
40. Die Hard 2: Die Harder (Although it wasnt what the original was, it was still fun.
87. Candyman (Not much to say about it, but it was enjoyable)
92. gremlins 2 ( i thought it was really funny)
And I disagree with the following:
30: Alien 3
the others I havnt seen or just dont want to comment on.
But it had Lea Thompson in it.....before she hit the wall.

Wasnt howard the duck the wall?
2 points i must disagree with you on Mothman.
Die HArd 2 was shit (As is almost anything from Renny Harland, The Long Kiss Goodnight excluded)
Alien 3 was a great, way underappreciated movie. David Fincher rocks. Great cast, great acting, a bit muddled in parts, but overall, a much better addition to the series than "Ressurection"
Joss Whedon should be forced to wear cicadas in his shorts for a year.

2 grievances:
1) The Peacemaker wasn't Clooney's first star vehicle, From Dusk Till Dawn was.
2) Billy Crudup's character in Jesus' Son was named Fuck Head not Fuck Face
Also, A Life Less Ordinary sucked

from what I'd heard, the final version of Ressurection was very different from what it originally was in the script
besides, Serenity should more than make up for it

Don't foget Billy Crudup. Until recently I'd say Christian Bale, but Batman fixed that

"House" deserves way more love, even though they ended it badly...
