Oh man, I'm so freaked out by Event Horizon. For various reasons that movie has disturbed me like no other.
So, no way will I see this one.

i prefered the psychological side of it...the cinematography and soundtrack were a plus though.

the science was way off, but that happens in every sci-fi movie (almost).

Correction... if you don't mind a movie straight-up stealing from Event Horizon, you might enjoy this.

This may be an agree to disagree thing, but I thought Event Horizon was bad and it steals from many places. I was really disappointed, because it looked great at the time and was re-written by the guy that wrote Seven. But the director is not good.


Death Race (2008)
Alien vs. Predator (2004)
Resident Evil (2002)
Soldier (1998/I) (as Paul Anderson)
Event Horizon (1997) (as Paul Anderson)
Mortal Kombat (1995) (as Paul Anderson)


I forgot about Soldier. Another disappointment. It was written by David Webb Peoples (Unforgiven, Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys), and is based in the same "universe" as Blade Runner. Terrible.

I watched "ghost town" over the weekend. It's a amusing little romantic comedy. Not surprisingly Ricky Gervais makes the whole movie work. You can watch it with your significant other and not hate yourself afterwards.

I finally saw Burn After Reading and thought it was [expletive] hilarious. Every actor nailed their role, especially Clooney who I thought was fantastic. Funniest movie I've seen since...maybe Dumb and Dumber, in my opinion.

I have yet to see a movie from the Coens that wasn't at least very good. (Probably because I haven't seen Intolerable Cruelty or The Ladykillers yet. Also haven't seen Hudsucker Proxy or The Man Who Wasn't There which I think look pretty good.)

the only one i haven't seen is "the ladykillers".. mainly because the alec guinness version
is so good.. but i went in with low expectation for "intolerable cruelty" and ended up actually
liking it.. "the man who wasn't there" is long and slow.. and doesn't really have any true
coen bros comedy.. but it's still a good movie.. "hudsucker" rules.
