Favorite Moviez & Shows

Post by BiGg RiE »

Figured it was time I started a thread on my second favorite hobbie.

I'd like to see some reviews of new flicks like "shoot 'em Up", "war", "rush hour 3" etc. on a scale of 1=Bad to 5=great.

Also, everyones favorite flicks.

Mine is "fist of legend" with Jet Li

Anime is deffinetly included in this as well.

Bourne ultimatum and tranformers are both great flicks!!

Bourne Ultimatum was more like the Bourne Identity, which means it was much better than the Bourne Sepremecy

Tranformers was just awsome all the way around you have got to see it in the Theater though, i don't know your age but if you grew up playing with megatron and optimus prime like I did you're doing yourself a diservice by not seeing transformers in the theater.

I had a 3 foot version of optimus prime when i was a wee lad, lol.

Now all i need is a Thunder Cats live action or animated movie... SNARF!!

and if you have to turn your head your not setting in the right spot, move back a couple rows. When your looking at the right you missed something on the left.
