Condorman was great! I used to watch that all the time in Saudi.

In RE we used to watch the Ten Commandments over and over because it was longer than the lesson, so by the next week it would have been re-wound.

At the end of one of the years we were allowed to bring in videos, so in RE we watched Total Recall while our RE teacher and IT/Physics teacher (both great teachers) worked on a problem with the computer in the class next to the TV.

When the "'ow's your father?" scene started they both sort of leant back to see it, somewhat frozen in shock and not sure what to do while arnie banged sharon in front of a classroom of under 18s. The scene ended without anyone saying a word and they just got back to the computer as if to say "It didn't happen" :D

Always preferred meet the spartans to 300.

Did you ever listen to the radio play Independence Day UK?

The BBC gave it no advertising, but it was good. Patrick Moore was in it, and Toyah Wilcox.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Lol! Reminds me of when our RE teacher got somewhat embarrassed by a video we had to watch for a sex-ed class. I think it was more explicit than she had bargained for as i overheard her saying to the other teacher in attendance, "I don't think this is suitable for the children", in a rather prim voice. I might add that the other teacher seemed to be quite enjoying it himself!

As for Condorman, i've loved the Porsche 911 ever since that amazingly well choreographed car chase sequence. Great stuff!

Never heard of it before now! Was it done like the original War Of The Worlds radio broadcast where it made to seem like a breaking news story?

What was y'all's take on Cloud Atlas?
[Off-topic] Archer:
I was brought up Catholic, so obviously went to Catholic schools. Whenever the weather was too bad to go out at break times or lunch we'd end up sat in the assembly hall watching Jesus Christ Superstar. As a child I detested it. After all, I'd seen it easily 10-20 times in the space of a few years.

Now though, as an adult, I really like it. Not sure if I was groomed or if it's a natural enjoyment. Either way I think it's an awesome musical. The main song makes me cringe a bit, and there's another one that I particularly don't like, but as far as rock opera goes I love it.

My first school was completely run by nuns.

I don't like them :angry:

It tried to be for the first part up until the attack, and to be honest didn't do it very well, however the second part is awesome, especially with an alien fighter going after the helicopter carrying Her Majesty and Prince Philip, and trouble with the Eurofighter.

I'm not the biggest fan of Norwegian movies (Although I am Norwegian) but this one is quite good. You should check it out if you like adventure.

A big part of the movie is in English since the characters are mostly in the US, Peru etc. so naturally, they speak English. But I read there are two versions of the movie. The original which is in English and Norwegian, and another international version which is in English only. No dubbing. They recorded the two side by side (kudos for that).
[Off-topic] InfinityFTW:

Well, this was a busy week for me but still managed to watch 3 flicks....:D

A BEAUTIFUL MIND

The movie was great and worth watching. Russell Crowe played his role well and it was amazing. Russell plays the role of Nash perfectly .....its better to say brilliantly. All the emotions and expression were to the best.

9/10

CITY OF ANGELS

This was not a planned watch but I watched it anyways. The story seemed interesting but I was little disappointed ....the movie was slow at first but gained speed in middle but soon all the interest faded away. The ending was totally unexpected and lacked originality. All I can say the movie can be better. Although it was a remake but it disappointed me. The acting of Nicolas Cage was also not up to the mark. It seemed he couldn't adopt the character well. I liked the Iris song though by Goo Goo Dolls.

5/10

(500) DAYS OF SUMMER

This I gonna say was an interesting flick. Totally a new and original story you don't find these days. You can't be get bored in between. Joseph Levitt played his role very well. Also I see this as the first movie by Marc Web. He did a great job as a starter. The soundtrack was also good. I recommended it to those who are fed up of romantic movies these days...as this is something new and original. Also the ending is interesting and totally unexpected.

8.5/10

New movies I watched:

Real Steel - sigh. I was coerced into watching it because of Hugh Jackman. 30 minutes into the movie, the guys and I were discussing alternate castings (Russel Crowe) but by the end... AWESOMENESS!!! It has robots beating each other to near death. What more can you ask? I'd rate it 7/10

In Time - A very intelligent movie about how Time=Money=Life. More time you have, the richer you are. Several plot holes and illogical inconsistencies, but it does get some economic theories right. Highly recommended for the more cerebrally inclined audience that crave action and Olivia Wilde. Yeah, I'm a sucker for her. Oh, and there are weird moments that make you go WTF, but its really cool. Won't spoil it. My ratings = 8/10

Contagion - Another intelligent movie about how would the world respond to an actual pandemic of catastrophic scale. I was blown away by the realism of the biological, medical and social impacts depicted in the movie, and so were several pre-med students I went with. 7/10

The plot makes very little sense. Something about how Stonehenge is an ancient alien terraforming device that's connected to several others under historical sites around the world. And they're terraforming the planet (obviously not in humanity's favour) by vaporizing everything in the path of electromagnetic emissions not dissimilar to lightning.

There's also a religious nuthead who believes he and his followers (with the usual violations of human rights amongst them) will be the only ones to survive it by hiding in some pyramid, so they can rule the world afterwards.

A disgraced scientist goes looking for a key of some sort to turn the device off.

The Americans want to blow **** up again. (That's probably the only accurate thing about it.)
