Topic: Movie thread.

Apparently Angry Birds.

I think I can predict the Captain Planet movie's plot:

Planeteers are doing something.
Planeteers spot bad guy doing something bad to the environment.
Planeteers try to beat him.
Planeteers fail.
Planeteers call Captain Planet.
Captain Planet nearly gets killed by the power of litter.
Kid picks litter off of Captain Planet.
Captain Planet wins.
Hokey environmental message.
END.

Profit!

Just watched Soul Surfer really enjoyed it.

What's the rating on Conan The Barbarian?

I saw the newest Studio Ghibli movie yesterday, which has just been released in the UK.
It's called Arriety and it's an adaptation of a British children's book, The Borrowers by Mary Norton, about tiny people who live under our floorboards and "borrow" our stuff. Two versions have been released in the UK, the original Japanese language one with English subtitles, and a beautifully dubbed version with British actors. It's a fairly free adaptation I think, but it follows the main story line of the book, the music is lovely and it looks gorgeous. It's not epic like Spirited Away and some of the other Studio Ghibli films, but the story is very involving. If you're a bit tired of blockbusters like Captain America and the Green Lantern you could find this a refreshing change. I enjoyed it so much, I just had to let people know!
I've just checked it out on Wikipedia which says it's due for release in the US in February 2012!

The US dubbing actors are different from the UK ones, though whether that's the reason for the delay, I have no idea.
If you're interested you can find some clips on YouTube of both the movie and the music, which was composed and performed by a French singer, Cecile Corbel.

Well just saw another travesty of a movie based off of a video game. This time it was Tekkens turn to get slaughtered on the big screen. First of let me say that as a martial movie its not that bad but the fact that they used the Tekken names ruined it. If they didnt used the Tekken references it would have been good. Its one of those movies that you wonder if the writers and directors ever played the games.

If this movie ever goes to streaming on Netflix I suggest checking it out than but dont waste a rental.

I hope you guys can spot the Navy's newest weapon: Rihanna!

I dont know the thing that always drew me to Tekken was the story line, but I understand what you are saying. Still it boggles me how these directors and writers can leave such big elementals out of the storyline when they write the screenplay.

Two movies that seem awesome 'nuff to watch: Rise of the Planet of the Apes and The Bad Teacher. Could someone give me the thumbs up or down sign for both?

Battleship? Really Hasbro. I got excited thinking 'CONDUIT MOVIE!' Then I saw the title... The coming out of the water looked like that thing from Conduit 2.

Yep I know what you are saying again, and thats probably the reason. Since it takes a while to write a script and cast the parts and all that other Hollywood work the directors and other people are probably under the gun from the studios to hurry and make the movie while the game is still popular.

@Terra: Right I can see that. If you take Street Fighter II V for example it was a much more better story than say Street Fighter or even Street FIghter the Legend of Chun Li. It also doesnt help when these movie studios want to cram 5 games worth of storylines into an hour and half movie.

@GameLord08 -
Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Haven't seen The Bad Teacher, so I can't comment

Does anyone know if there is going to be a Rango sequel movie or a television series on Nickelodeon?

We NEED to continue to breath life into WESTERNS! Disney is being begged by Johnny Depp to go forward with The Lone Ranger. We've got The Rolling Western coming to the 3DS and we've got a Rango-esque The Gunstringer coming to XBOX Kinect, plus there is the Cowboy Bounty Hunter in Star Wars The Clone Wars. Let's keep the love flowing!

No sequels, no show.

Rango is not going to end up like Shrek.

So then guys ... Christmas is coming up any suggestions for my next christmas DVD ?
Currently have ELF, Deck the Halls, Polar Express, Fred Claus, Merry Madagascar - Shrek The Halls (Shorts but still count), The Santa Claus and Disney A Chritmas Carol

Rango is an amazing film but it doesn't need a sequel, let alone a TV show.

JINGLE ALL THE WAY!
_{I absolutely love Jingle All the Way, probably my #1 guilty pleasure movie of all time.}

And it probably goes without saying, but A Christmas Story is easily one of the best Christmas movies of all time (every year, i have at least one TV constantly on playing the 24-hour marathon).

Watch Gremlins. Not exactly the best example of a Christmas movie for some, but hey, mix up your movie list with something different. This one is worth a look, especially if your into monster flicks. You should also take a look at Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas, one of the best Christmas flicks IMO. Other than that, I highly recommend you to watch the Muppets version of the Christmas Carol, which I find better than the Jim Carrey version.

Oh, and since you're also watching shorts, Please watch the animated short Snowman. It really brings that warm feel inside that gets you into the Holiday spirit, and I can't say anything more to spoil you.
