I general in believe in moderation. But I don't like being censored (I know Escapist is not a government) or having to self censor myself. I received a warning for this: Comando96:" No. To throw acid in his face would have been too far... or if he had a heart condition THEN it would...

People have been writing the obituary of movie theaters for a long time now. They will come to an end as all things do but not in the near future. People like the movie going experience. The latest Transformers movie broke records a 4th of July opening. I wouldn't see it but plenty of...

A Brazilian woman soccer player fakes an injury to attempt to run time off the clock. I think she should have been kicked out of the game and if Brazil had won she should have been suspended the rest of the tournment. That's cheating. I understand some might feel differently. Does...

For a thread about the worst films they have seen, there are some excellent movies here: No Country For Old Men - Forest Gump - Fight Club and some others. Maybe they just haven't seen many movies. This is not the worst movie I've seen but it does have a Star that people liked - The Order...

I have the original painting hanging on my wall. Cool you decide. I think its funny that the book publisher edited the painting for the book. Guess the female showed too much leg.

I like your list. I'd leave off Natural Born Killers and The Crow with any two of the three that almost made it. But a very solid list IMO.

Since my avatar defeated 25,000 invading Moors (and saving all of Europe in the process) who were undefeated at the time I don't think 300 generic tough bastards will be a problem.

Shame. It's a well crafted movie that's very good. On topic: Chick flicks or for something I might normally be interested in but won't see - Italian cannibal movies like Cannibal Holocaust. Mainly because of the animal cruelty.

Depends how you define fantasy. High fantasy (wizards, dragons, knights and etc.) might not be real successful but that might be because they are real expensive to make. But the Lord of the Rings trilogy was very successful. If you are talking fantasy pictures in general they are very...

You really like war movies!
