You bet that's him! The Pulp Fiction hitman goes from switching faces to switching species.

Do you have an opinion? Have you seen the trailers? Are you counting down to opening day or looking for something else to do this weekend instead?

It's a thankless job, but I've
got a lot of karma to burn off.

1) I get bravery points for going to see a movie that every reviewer hated.
OR
2) I get a purple heart for not walking out in the middle of this idiocy.

The story is great. Gotta admit that right off. The idea of the aliens taking over Earth and the humans having to fight back is good, and the way the fighting back plays out is even pretty decent. A lot of the plot problems that I heard critics talking about were unfounded. They must have been getting more popcorn or something, but any fan of sci-fi is going to be able to follow the plot without crashing into any potholes.

So what does that leave for the ruination of greatness? They talk. And they talk. And they talk.

This would be a wonderful sci-fi/action picture if Travolta would just shut up part of the time. It's not all him, of course, but it's mostly him. The dialogue is needless blabber about 75% of the time. Maybe it's supposed to be comical that they use all the phrases and mannerisms we normally associate with swindling, squint-eyed, weaselly corporate butt-kissers. Then again, maybe they should have budgeted an extra $20.00 to hire a writer.

Here's a basic synopsis of the film for ya! Wolfman, the endangered species guy, goes to work and stumbles into the middle of a manager meeting.

I won't ruin the end of the movie. After all, there's not much left to ruin.

If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?

i saw it on opening night, and i really wish i didn't.

Ok, now that that´s out of the way...during one of my insomnia episodes last night, while watching either Leno or Conan (can´t remember), I heard Battlefield Earth being termed as "the worst movie of the century".
Close enough or right on the money?

Will just have to wait to see it...

His race resembles Klingon wanna- bees. Then there's that old hackneyed approach of another, in a long line of invasions from Outer Space!

Why would such a race, able to cross the boundaries of space & time, come here to a backward planet? What's to be gained? Does H'wood think that we're all an audience of mental midgets?

Don't get me wrong, Travolta's a great actor in certain of his movies- but this is not one of them!
