i've seen that around - i think there is a dumplings 2 as well

i watched Deep Star 6

better movie than it gets credit for .. because of the likeable cast and a couple of good gore bits.

it does have one of my 'stupid shit' hot buttons though .. where a giant homocidal crustacean monster is able to hide and swim silently in 3 feet of water ...

a giant maniacle creature with no fear - apparently cooperated with the director - in that it would obligingly sneak around to build up suspense..

This is one of my favorite movies. I thought Miguel Ferrer (or however you spell his name) was delightfully weasely!

actually he did an excellent role - it was more complex than you'd normally get - he wasn't a bad guy - just a bit of a complainer - and everything started going wrong for gim - often not his fault ..
he ended up being misunderstood .. i felt for the guy ..

Gotta love Total Recall...IMO, Arnies best...when I first saw it, man, I knew it was gonna be one of my alltime favourites.

I just watched Constantine for the first time.
I'm unfamiliar with the comic Hellblazer upon which it was based...so, I can't really give a comparison.
It was "interesting"...very VERY nice effects, the action wasn't anything special for the better part, but it was ok I suppose.
I personally found the plot a little unneccessarily convoluted, and in parts, it felt very long, drawn out, and boring.
Oh, and the dialogue, quite frankly, sucked.
I AM glad I saw this film to satisfy my personal curiosity - I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. I'm pretty much mutual on this one, but seeing it again isn't something I'll be striving to do anytime soon.

Anyone think that the whole of the plot WAS just part of the 'program' and that he was always plugged into the machine?
On further viewings there are lots of indicators that point to it.

Well yeah...someone even mentioned during the film, and you also see it clearly by the ending, that he DOES get his "order" as per specification...
