I loved Waterworld! I thought it was an awesome movie!

Thanks for that info dukesmom!

I love the idea of The Odyssey, but not so certain on the futuristic part.

I love Christina Ricci, so it will be cool to see her in this new movie.

Dirty Harry is right, Underworld is underrated.

Okay I'm confused, are you making a joke about Waterworld, or was that really just a mis type?

Either way, I'm watching Underworld right now. I have the two disc special collector's edition with a copy of the graphic novel.

The extended edition is hot!

I am unsure which version mine is - it has Underworld and Underworld Evolution in the one DVD case for $15...

I could look at its cover but I can not be bothered!

I think it could be a slip of the tongue, but I hope he agrees with me that Waterworld is highly underrated too! Also, Underworld for the record is also underrated, albeit to a much lesser extent than Waterworld is. Waterworld is SERIOUSLY underrated!!

I remember seeing 'ET' (Entertainment Tonight) reviewing Waterworld and saying it was a flop before it even screened ffs! how fair is that?! Besides, ET also labelled 'Titanic' a big flop of a disaster film - then they changed their tune after it was released... They did not give the same courtesy to Waterworld though, which deserved it.

I mean, with Titanic, I knew what happened at the end of the flick, the ship sank - we learned that in History and Social Studies...

Yeah I did mistype. I meant Waterworld.

Yeah, people keep bashing it and refuse to recognize that it has any depth.

I always thought the first Blade movie was under-rated.

**John Crichton** · 10-20-2008, 07:09 AM

Underworld reminds me of The Matrix in a roundabout sort of way how it has feeling but it is in such a niche that can be missed by some...

**White Noise** · 10-20-2008, 02:33 PM

I watched Underworld last night. It's one of my favorite movies!

I love the story to the movie. It's not a fluff filled vamp film, it has a great story!

**Cryostar** · 10-21-2008, 04:44 AM

It had a Niche? What niche was that? The "Like to see Kate in tight pleather, kicking a##" niche?

It was just on TV here not so long ago, last 2 weeks....I caught the back half.

Overrated, more like. It was total crap. The other two were much better. But they were all saddled with Wesley Snipes's performances.

**Cryostar** · 10-24-2008, 04:27 AM

Is there a reason as to why you feel it was over-rated, or shall we just guess?

In news for the day, apple posted this up. I'll be reposting in the vampire thread as well.

Apple - Trailers - UNDERWORLD - Rise of the Lycans

That was a kick ass trailer.

**Cryostar** · 10-25-2008, 01:25 PM

I could guess, Sum, but I'd be banned for writing it

I thought the trailer was ok. I'm somewhat upset that Amelia wasn't in it. We had heard that she had a bigger role in this one....I hope that remains true. I'd like to find out why her eyes are so green, compared to the cold blue of Viktor's.

**White Noise** · 10-26-2008, 02:04 PM

I wonder if it's an age thing, regarding the eyes, or a mood thing.

I liked the Amelia character in the first one, and was sad to see her get it. So I would like to see her in the new one!
