    • Cody - read one review that really panned Prometheus because of gaping plot holes. Haven't seen it yet myself.

      With regard to streaming - I've done it, and do while traveling but I have become somewhat of a blu ray snob. Once you watch stuff in hi def it's hard to go back.

        yea, 30 more good minutes added to this movie would have made it one of the better movies of the year

        • "The Grey" with Liam Neisen ... thought it was ok, had its strengths and weaknesses.

              • Is Prometheus in any way related to Alien (storywise, not just because Ridley Scott directed both)?

                    • about time, love the Jurassic Park franchise. 1st movie is a classic, I love the 2nd film ... 3rd one kind of sucked ... hope Spielberg has more influence in making the 4th

                      'Planet of the Apes' writers are taking on 'Jurassic Park 4'

                      • OK, since I joined Netflix I have really caught up and I cant really give a review (lol to many) I have been watching about 3 movies per week. I will try to just copy my 1 star to 5 star rating - Keep in mind these are movies I picked that I really wanted to see.

                        • sounds like "The Amazing Spiderman" is going to be a romance superhero movie.
                          I think I'll REALLY like it cuz the director also directed "500 Days of Summer"... it will be interesting to see how similar the 2 movies are, and I'm hoping they are similar!

                              • It's one of the many perfect examples that you have to get casting right. Fox was always their first choice and managing to get him into the movie after all the effort and production was well worth it. Stoltz might have made a decent enough McFly to make a profitable movie. But Fox made McFly a Iconic character in an Iconic movie.

                                It's one of the things about the remake spree that really bother me. When you take a either an Iconic character or an Iconic movie, you screw with the balance when recast if you don't do it properly. If it was hard enough to do the casting right the first time in a 14 million dollar, what's the likelihood you can take an already great character and movie and actually improve on it, with bloated budgets that just beg for more studio oversight?

                                Not that I am saying they are remaking it. Just something you realize when you see the casting problems that many movies have gone through. Like the Keven Spacey or Burt Reynolds Han Solo, or the last minute change to James Earl Jones for Vader on Star Wars. Sometimes its just sheer luck that they get it right. What makes a Director/Writer/or Producer think they can pull of again or even one up it? Is it ego?
