Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 11, 2003 TONIGHT'S RENTALS, BROUGHT TO YOU BY LAZARUSH ENERGY DRINK~! Caffeine good, sleep bad! Black Mask 2: City Of Masks I couldn't even finish watching this piece of shit. Its fight scenes were allegedly choreographed by the man that did the fight scenes for The Matrix, Yuen Wo Ping, but none of the originality from The Matrix is shown here. Hell, none of the originality of the original Black Mask is shown here. The entire plot's been switched around, and now it somehow involves animal-human gene splicing. The only SLIGHTLY redeeming factors are that ROB VAN DAM and TYLER MANE (Sabretooth in X-Men, the graphics programmer in How To Make A Monster) are both major characters (RVD is "The Claw," a wrestler whose DNA has been spliced with some spider/squid looking thingy {long story}; and Mane is "Thorn," a wrestler whose DNA has been spliced with a...plant). Rating: DUD Amélie I've heard a lot of good things about this movie, and my friend Katelin said it's a riot. She has pretty good taste in movies (aside from her obsession with Legend, which is a good movie, but I do mean OBSESSION), so I decided to rent it tonight. Haven't watched it yet. Probably will in about an hour when my mother lets me have the TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted January 11, 2003 I personally liked Amelie alot. If you're open minded about movies you should like it. If you're the "Hey it's French and subtitled...it's gay" type you probably wouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 11, 2003 After watching Amélie, I can finally say something that shocks even the coldest and most calloused hearts, because one would think these words would never come from me: The French finally did something GOOD. That movie was so quirky it was genius, and so damn cute I HAD to love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 11, 2003 ...since when have I rented what's "hot shit"? The last time I rented anything, I rented $la$her$, Death To Smoochy (AMAZINGLY GREAT MOVIE, by the way), and...ummm...a third movie... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest red_file Report post Posted January 11, 2003 Amélie was made by the guys who made City of Lost Children, which is certainly worth a look if you haven't seen it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 11, 2003 I've heard about City Of Lost Children, and since I'm now in love with Amélie, I'll have to check out City Of Lost Children... ...DAMN FRENCH... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest C.H.U.D. Report post Posted January 11, 2003 Black Mask 2 was like a friggin' cartoon. A bad one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 11, 2003 It was like the entire worst seasons of VR Troopers, Power Rangers, and Super-Human Samurai Cyber Squad (R3PR3Z3NT~!) all rolled into one...with bad EVERYTHING. Although I did like how they handled SOME of the wrestling things (the mutagen the wrestlers took could be a parallel to steroids, and Iguana talking to Hellraiser about the match finish was cool).

Guest Lethargic Report post Posted January 11, 2003 I've heard about City Of Lost Children, and since I'm now in love with Amélie, I'll have to check out City Of Lost Children... ...DAMN FRENCH... If you even kinda liked Amelie, City of Lost Children will cause your head to explode. Even if you don't like the story or anything, it's just amazing to LOOK at. If there is one movie that fits into the stupidity of movies being art, it's City of Lost Children. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
