Walk the Line It was such an incredibly good movie too... I loved it. Not only because I love Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.. it showed me alot of what Johnny Cash went through during the course of his life...I didn't know he had it so rough at times. I will have to buy it on DVD

That premiered on HBO last night, but I missed it. I think it's on HBO On Demand now, so I'll likely watch it tonight. I've been wanting to see it for a while.

I've seen it. I thought it was a bit cliched as far as biopics go. Seemed a lot like "Ray" from last year.

Last movie I saw was last night... I think it was "Star Trek The Wrath of Khan" It was my first time watching it and it seemed pretty good. There were a few things that were very puzzling to me... First of all, in the beginning when Saavik is being tested the passenger ship "Kobuyashi Maru", that she was supposed to rescue had a crew capacity of 81,300. This number was outrageous. The Enterprise D could only hold 1000 people and it came almost a hundred years later! Another thing that confused me was when Kirk had to investigate what happenned on Regada 1. Dr. McCoy said that they were the only ship in the "quadrant". This is impossible!

Dr. McCoy said that they were the only ship in the "quadrant". This is impossible! I don't know about the number of people on board. I haven't seen Star Trek II in a LONG time, but do know that back then they tended to exaggerate things a lot. In modern Star Trek, they knew more of what was probable, and changed to suit that. For the quadrant thing, they may have meant that quadrant of the sector, which isn't unlikely at all. Even in the TNG era of Star Trek, then Enterprise often found itself being the only Federation ship in a sector. You'll also notice that Kirk's Enterprise could reach warp 15, while in Voyager they stated anything over Warp 10 was impossible, and at Warp 10 Lt Paris found himself in all points of time and space simultaneously.

^ I didn't even know there was a part 2.
I watched 28 Days Later on TV last night. I've always liked that movie.
The two previous to that were Silent Hill and Poseidon, which I thought both were pretty good.

My friend has silent hill unrated... Is it a good movie worth watching? Owen Wilson isn't even in the movie Behind enemy lines 2. All its about are NAVY seals that are trapped in North Korea. I personally think that the Seals are really unprofessional. There were four of them and 2 got killed in the first firefight with the North Koreans that really made me mad. Also I would expect them to have better guns. All they used were AK-47s and MP5s. It would probably be better if they had the guns like the soldiers in "Tears of the Sun".

Yeah, it's worth watching, it has quite a few spooky moments. Poseidon was more suspenseful, but not spooky. To be honest, with your poor review of Behind Enemy Lines 2, I doubt I'll watch it unless it's on HBO or free TV one night.

Can you think of any other war movies that went straight to DVD? There's probably a good reason for that. Heck, even that horrible-looking movie "The Marine" gets sent to theatres.

I know of only one other straight to video war movie, but forget the title now. It was a Vietnam war movie I borrowed from a neighbor last year when I didn't have cable. It was so BORING and painful to watch that I didn't even finish it.

Last week, I went to a movie theater in Lodi, California, where I saw the "Jackass number two" movie, and that new movie cracked me up so much because it's another greatest funny movie of all time just like the first Jackass movie from October 25, 2002. I felt like "OH SNAP! That's Gotta Hurt!".
