I remember when we rented that, thinking "bad sci-fi movie, what the heck, we'll try it" and came away thinking "not bad at all!"
Then the sequel ... so disappointing.
I watched the Chronicles Of Riddick this morning. It's not exactly tripe or anything like that, but some of these Hollywood people need to learn that less is more.
Also, I had the pleasure of watching Pan's Labyrinth . Man, that Captain was a real bastard. The scene with the wine bottle made me cringe.
