On another note, I just rewatched "I am Legend" and I have to say, I liked it much more the second time when I didn't waste $20 on a movie ticket.

Being a big Doors fan, I felt they didn't do that great a job on the movie. It was alright but that's about it. I'll concur that Wonderland was good, Kilmer was good in it but I maintain that Tombstone was his finest hour.

You know the deal with the original ending to I Am Legend, don't you? I think it would have been much better if they had left it like that.

I agree that Kilmers best "role" was in Tombstone. He stole the show. But that was as a supporting actor. The guy was a pretty solid leading man and it showed in Wonderland. I also liked him in The Ilse of Dr. Monreau (spelling?), The Saint, and Ghost and the Darkness. Another great "supporting" movie was Deja Vu and Mindhunter... I think he has more talent than given credit for.

And no, I do not know of the "original ending" for IAL. Please indulge me so my lazy ass can avoid looking it up for myself lol

New Total Recall already being panned by critics, not surprised there.

Just watched The Raid Redemption twice back to back.I would recommend this movie for anyone who has even the slightest interest in action flicks.The Raid is the most bad-ass and manliest film i have ever seen and the fight scenes are a thing of adrenaline filled epicness.

And it's not helped by the fact that it's a remake of film only 20 years old, directed by a guy who's never made a good film and starring his wife who I like cos that posh accent really does it for me but let's face it, she ain't nothing more than a pretty face.

Yeah, I LOVED her in the original Underworld, but I can't really name anything else that she stood out in.
