Btw is Prometheus any good? I have it on my PC waiting for like loong time, I never had a chance to watch it but now I can on these holidays.
If you liked Alien and Aliens you have to see it. If you like sic-fi you have to see it.

It's a bit of a mess, really, I liked it, but it could have been so much better. Ridley Scott really dropped the ball, I think. Worth a watch, tho.

Cheers, I'll give it a try. Maybe even today. I feel like watching tons of movies now and hopefully I will.

I'm tempted to watch Band of Brothers, though. I heard it's amazing and imdb rating is sky high.

This.
A bunch of people told me it was a huge let down but that wasn't gonna stop me as I'm a big fan of the other Alien movies. There are a few plot holes and some scenes that will just leave you thinking 'did they really have to put that in', but as an all round sci-fi movie it's pretty good.

With regards District 9, I have to echo the previous comments and say that it's easily one of the best science fiction movies I've seen in the last decade or so. The fact that it';s not a hollywood movie and it mirrors major political events in our own history are huge plus points imo.

Band of Brothers is amazing. Great, great mini series. Maybe the best ever. I especially like the siege of Bastogne. The first episode is a bit slow, they are in training, but it picks up in the second episode, which is D-Day, iirc.

I'm downloading Children of Men right now... Haven't seen it since 07, but one of the best movies of this century, imo.
Great movie. Forgot the name of the actor in it.. never liked him much but he was good in that.

I heard it's quite good, I need to download it and see it too.

Band of brothers is amazing, similar to Saving Private Ryan but in mini-series.

1000x better than the 'The Pacific'.

Also, I reckon District 9 is awesome. I think it's quite unique in that the aliens are the weaker race.

Clive Owen is the lead.

Waaaaay better than Saving Private Ryan in terms of being true to history. Saving Private Ryan is so far out there it's unbelievable. There is just no way the US Army would let a squad of elite Army Rangers frolicking around German held territory looking for one soldier because all of his brothers died. I just don't see that happening. Only way they do something like that is if they are on a mission which could help tip the scales of the battle they are already embroiled in.

Sorry for the mini rant, but that movie gets way too much credit. It's not a terrible movie by any means, but should not be spoken about with art like Band of Brothers.

Come and See is the greatest war movie of all time, imo.

Saving Private Ryan is great. The opening Omaha Beach scene...wtf so good.
That was an amazing piece of cinema, no doubt about it.

This looks awesome. imdb has an unedited trailer. Not sure if the youtube trailer im posting here has tits in it like the one I saw on imdb, but this movie looks like a hoot. :)
