DCO fourth Alphabet Marathon - discussion/review/banter thread

I've also seen only 6 so far, I think.  I've been all over the map...first Z, then D, then S, etc.  Maybe from here on I'll go in order...meaning my next 3 would be A, B and C...

I'm just bouncing all over the place.

Watched Mad Max for X (didn't feel like watching X-Men).

A great action film with some solid characters with adequate motivations. Spawned an entire genre, basically: the post-apocalyptic action film. And of course Mel Gibson, Australian raised American actor, became a star.

I believe Mad Max 4 is finally going ahead... More of a reboot though, apparently.

Was looking forward to watch Eyes Wide Shut today, only to find that my disc is badly scratched and unplayable. Thank God the trouble started in the first 10 minutes and not 2/3 in.

So, I watched The Quick and the Dead today. Sam Raimi made a western and it looks mighty cool. Taking elements from American as well as Italian western (I'd think) and then thrown in his visual style we now from Evil Dead II, out comes a film with a "normal" revenge story but loads of style. Great acting from Sharon Stone and Russell Crowe, but even more Leonardo Dicaprio and of course Gene Hackman.

I need to catch up on my posting about the movies I've watched.  Hopefully later this evening.

I'm pretty much on hiatus with this. A lot has been going on lately. I will probably start again in a day or two though.

[Alien Redrum]

I am failing miserably. Hope to watch some this weekend, though.

I'm not doing too bad..though I'm still behind in posting about the last few movies.

I'm still plugging away at this here.  I had intended to post about some of the ones I've watched recently tonight, but I got talked into trying to get this rare mount drop in WoW by going in a raid..was just me and my friend.  Took way longer than I expected..didn't get the mount - didn't really expect to - and now I'm too tired to write about the movies.  So.  I'm still behind.  But I will catch up.
