Predator, Predator, and more Predator. It’s an absolute masterpiece—it’s got those two legendary scenes that honestly rank among the best ever made.
1- That iconic shot of Arnold Schwarzenegger trekking through the mud.
2- The Predator's self-destruction.
Actually, thinking back on things after the legendary Predator, I can't help but think of a movie that isn't exactly a "masterpiece," but it's one I just love—plus, I'm obsessed with Take My Breath Away. 🙂 Top Gun, obviously.
Gerald Jackson48 said:Since my interest totally tanked back during the third installment—not to mention how much that one dragged—I really don't have any massive expectations for whatever this next sequel happens to be.
Sadly, I'm right there with you... I'd sign off on that any day.
I honestly can't pick a single standout film—I’m such a huge fan of Eastern Promises... though if I absolutely had to choose, maybe Mulholland Drive?
I don't want this to sound silly, but in my opinion, her biggest "flaw" is just how gorgeous she is while looking like your typical, everyday girl next door. She lacks that instantly recognizable look...
She actually mentioned once how many times fans have asked for photos with her ex, L. Schreiber, without even realizing she was standing right there! 😁

Yeah, you're right—sorry about that. It really is pure horror, isn't it? But—as strange as it sounds—maybe that was actually the better part of his life? He spent so much time just surviving the absolute hell of growing up with an alcoholic mother and bouncing through foster homes. Keanu has had such a tragic hand dealt to him... yet he's still a true Hollywood darling because he stayed such a genuinely decent human being.

No way. River just couldn't handle the crushing pressure of Hollywood. Nobody forces you to go down that road.
Keanu Reeves really didn't deserve all those setbacks... By the way, we should probably mention Matt Damon—he actually met his wife at a coffee shop while she was working there as a waitress. 🙂 Then there's Christian Bale... It just goes to show there are plenty of incredibly successful people out there who never bowed down to the Hollywood elite.
Keanu Reeves. He lost his fiancée and his sister... Ever since then, he just hasn't seemed interested in romance at all—instead, he stays focused on his movies and charity work. He keeps his philanthropy totally low-key, even though rumors say he’s donated a massive fortune to good causes—he lives in a regular apartment rather than some flashy Hollywood mansion, doesn't he?
Man, I hate reading such amazing reviews right before a movie starts—it totally spoils the surprise! 😬 I'm diving into this one today, so I'll check back in once I have some thoughts. Hopefully, it hits the spot for me too.
The drivers are installed, but I have a feeling they aren't quite the right ones 😁—so I'm taking it over to the guy I borrowed it from today to get it checked out
I'll check it out tomorrow... I honestly doubt that's the highest resolution available—even when I'm watching a movie, the text and images just don't look sharp or crisp at all. At the end of the day, regardless of the resolution, isn't a movie supposed to look good as long as the footage itself is high quality? I really don't want to strain my eyes, so if that truly is the maximum resolution...
Picked up an Asus laptop yesterday—it's got integrated graphics since I'm mostly just using it for browsing and watching movies. Running Windows 7. The catch is the max resolution is stuck at 1024x768, which is honestly pretty annoying. Any idea how I can bump that up? I've heard it might be a driver issue... anyone know? Thanks in advance!
vividraven7 said:The movie is great, though maybe not quite an Oscar contender. Still, Matthew McConaughey is incredible. For the first five minutes, I thought it was getting a bit too loud and forced, but then it just smoothed out. Seriously, props to him! Someone mentioned he’s just playing another Texan cowboy and only actually lost weight. Total nonsense. This is easily his most complex role yet, and he nailed it. Everything he's been doing lately is solid. Paper Boy, Wolf of Wall Street, True Detective, Magic Make (even if he's a bit much there)... Anyway, I really hope he takes home the Oscar. He earned it.
Just finished watching this movie.... 9/10 There are actually two reasons why I'm giving it such a high score.. It feels incredibly real—I've always felt like the big pharma industry holds way too much power—and the second reason is just the masterful performance by Matthew M. creepy He played the part so eerily well... Highly recommend it to everyone. Truly a great, high-quality film.
Hey there. This would be my first—and hopefully only—request to change my handle, and it’s nothing major, of course. 🙂 I’d love to have my current "free" status updated to Brandon Cruz81. Basically, I just want to capitalize that first letter. 🙂Hopefully, you guys can help me out with this one? Best regards.
Bryan Singer is truly one of those standout talents who managed to build an incredible reputation and some serious connections in Hollywood in no time at all. I’ve got a really good feeling about this being a hit. Inace—as we already know—Singer is also busy working on "X-Men: Days of Future Past".
Thomas Hernandez21 said:How much are you planning to drop on this? That’s really the only thing that matters—right? A used 7600GT goes for about $117. In what way do you feel like your integrated graphics are getting boring? Is it because it can't run Diablo 2?
I'm not from around here, so I don't really get all the local slang and references😁 So, I'd probably offer somewhere in the $30-$40 range... I saw on a tech site that a GeForce 6200 costs around $25-$30. Plus, I've seen on other forums that the 7600GT isn't highly recommended—especially since even a used one is pretty pricey, let alone a brand-new card. It's definitely not like it won't run Diablo 2, but I just want to have a dedicated card—like I said before—just to get the job done.
