Okay, I'm doing a movie review, and I need some helpful critiquing on how to perfect it. Thanks for any help you can provide. Thanks ***************************************************** Before you even buy your ticket for Meet the Fockers, you know you are in for a lot of “focker” puns...

Anyone seen the Spielberg/Dreamworks animated movie, Shark Tale ? It's causing a bit of an uproar. The plot involves parodies of several pop culture staples - Jaws, The Godfather, etc. It's a mafia themed movie, set in the world of saltwater fish - the story of what happens when the son...

Recently was asked to make a presentation on some math involved in a movie. I chose the Men In Black. The scene I selected was the part where the 2 are in the Queens tunnel and they go on the ceiling of the tunnel and continue to go at an unusual high speed on the ceiling and eventually get down...

Question about the movie "Paycheck" I was watching this movie last night "paycheck" and got to a point in the movie which made me kinda confused. They said something about building a new type of lens that could basicaly curved around the earth. For example- your on top of Mt. Everest and...

You can go here for the factual basis of the phenomenon. Does anyone have any idea how credible any of this is? For that matter, are any of you willing to try the experiments they suggest for yourself?

Quantum physics movie -- What the *$@! are we thinking? And upcoming movie.. My friend who is learning calculus and physics, and I teach him what I know, works at movie theatre. He told me about a new movie in 2004, called "What the fuc* are we thinking?" It's about quantum physics and...

I saw "Ghost in the Shell" recently, it is a Japaneese animation and in it there are two people who are both main characters. Anyway, both have almost no remaining body parts that they were born with, all of it has been replaced with mechanical or robotic parts. But the chacter mentions her...

So does anyone know around when blu-ray will become the new standard for media? Also how much of a difference will the quality be?

I reccomend that everyone here, regardless of political ideology, go see The Motorcycle Diaries. The movie is about Ernesto "Che" Geuvara and his companion, Alberto Granado, on a motorcycle trip with the goal of exploring South America. The movie shows Ernesto (Che) and Alberto in their...

Has anyone of you seen "This is Spinal Tap" movie? What do you think? I have seen that movie again for the 4-th time and in my opinnion it is one of the best movies of all times, simply hillarious and yet deep and thought provoking. One sentence says it all --- "It"s such a fine line...

MOVIE: "What the #$*!(bleep) do we know" Have any of you had the chance to see this film yet? Apparently it is a documentry concerning modern physics, neuroscience, and mysticism. Seems like it might be a really interesting one to get others interested in our ecletic endevours. Here is the...

this is a small video about a minute long where a car drag races with a scooter and in this movie there's a song playing that i want to know the name of but alas i can't find any credit to the artist = \ heres the link...

Ok so I've been trying to think of this movie I saw back in April (around there) 2004 in theaters. It was pretty weird. That's all I remember about it, that it was weird. I'll do my best to remember some scenes, maybe someone will remember and be able to give me the title.. It started out...

I found a brilliant site that picks out the bad physics portrayed in many movies. It even has ratings like, GP (good physics), XP (physics from an unknown universe), ... http://www.intuitor.com/moviephysics/ Enjoy!

I saw I, Robot last night. I haven't yet read the book, so I can't say whether it has much to do with the book or not. But it was definitely better than I expected. Nice action scenes, an okay story, and the robots were done very well. I'd say it was worth my AU$9.

I just saw Troy today, what's a great movie ! I haven't got a chance to read The Iliad yet, what happened after Troy falls, what happen to Paris, Helen and etc...

Just announced that the Sci Fi Channel is making a movie based on Niven's Ringworld - one of my all time favorite sci fi books. Yay! I think Jenning's Aztec would make a great miniseries as well. I always expected to see this happen but oh well, at least they finally got around to Ringworld...

Has anyone seen awakin life? if not i suggest you see it!

While trying to think of my favorite star of all time, this question naturally followed. When I can think of an answer for this one I will chime in. The first that come to mind are characters such as R2D2 and Darth Vador, Jaws, God in [Oh God], Hal [2001], Kahn, but that's only because I'm...

This really is a hard choice for me, as there were several, but considering fan appreciation, money making, and quantity of movies made, I would pick JOHN WAYNE.

The movie came out in Europe a few weeks ago (I know, really late) and I watched it yesterday and it was SOO FUNNY! That character of the shortterm memory fish was just so funny :) But wasn't there some kind controversy about the movie which I missed?

What is your all time favorite movie scene? I happened to think of this when thinking about the songs thread. At least several of my all time favorite movie scenes were in Metropolis by Fritz Lang; and "reconstructed" by Georgio Moroder. One is where the evil robot "Hell" seduces the...

..someone had too much time on their hands. Hit start Go to command prompt Type in: Telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl Enjoy! EDIT: If you're paranoid. It's just a full Star Wars movie in ASCII.

This thread has two purposes: 1) Can anyone tell me of a site (or sites) that deal with the accuracy of the science in modern movies? 2) If anyone would like to discuss, take apart, or ask questions about the science of any movie, they may do that here. As always, any and all...

top three list. if you could date any movie character (not the actor or actress playing them but the character), who would it be? here's my list: 1. marla singer from fight club because she's fun in bed and because she has the balls to be herself. 2. katherine from english patient for her...

My wife and I own a small video store and there are several movies that are less than popular, but are still great films. What are some of your favorite movies that aren't that well known? I have a few examples: "Lady in White." It's a great little ghost story set back in the late...

These movies made the most money and got some of the best reviews of 2002. Which was your favorite?

Why the movie or photos are not presented yet (about 40hours after the action)? Do you believe that the movie or photos are not modified now? I don´t believe it and many people also. Perfect propagandistic material is in fact lost. Too late... Why?

Also, what if any had the most impact on you? I think the new Outer Limits is [was?] the best Sci-Fi ever on TV. The writing is fresh and often quite excellent. The entire series then comes together as a single theme. IMO, absolutely the best! Childhood's End by A. Clark changed my...

With the sequel to the Matrix coming out soon, I am reminded of what happened after the first movie came out. About a million people with too much time on their hands decided to make websites paralleling the lives of Jesus and Neo. I just want to say that anyone who has ever actually studied...

Anybody ever seen the movie "waking life"? Any thoughts?

I have recently seen the movie K-PAX staring Kevin Spacey. In it he is supposedly from the planet K-PAX and goes onto explain how it is a few thousand lightyears away. The doctor questioning him wants to know how he got here and he said he harnessed his energy onto a beam of light or...
