Do yourself a favor. Watch through season 5 and then force yourself to pretend it got canceled.
I'd recommend stopping Lost after season 2. Or season one and the first episode of season 2.
Never seen even 1 episode of Lost. However I've heard bits and pieces about what the show is about and how things changed through the seasons. Isn't this show an epic example of jumping the shark? Doesn't the show at some point just fall off a cliff in terms of where the plot goes?
I loved Lost. Gotta watch every episode though, it's the only way.
Am I right though that the plot really takes a sharp turn at some point? Doesn't it start off as guys stranded on an island (how do we survive and get odd etc) and later turn into some kind of government conspiracy end of the world type thing? I could be way off.

There was always something quite strange going on. Watch it.
Well I have head that it's really addictive.
Phantasm - 2/10 - I have wanted to see this for years. And when it ended, I was like WTF did I just watch? After reading the plot summary at Wikipedia, the answer to that question is nothing.
I have sat though hall 6 Leprechaun movies with delight. And I'd also rate them about 2/10. And for some reason, I now find myself wanting to see all the Phantasm movies.
So, ya. 2/10 but I definitely can see how it is a sort of cult classic. There is something about it that makes me want to see the sequels.

Solyaris - 9.5/10: The classic Tarkovskiy sci-fi film from 1972. I am a huge fan of the Soderbergh remake, but this film is even better. The pacing is better as it's longer and allows you to get even more enveloped in the attachment the main character has with the apparition the Solaris Ocean send to him. I also thought the woman who plays his wife was more effective than the woman in Soderbergh's film. I can see how people might get bored with this as it is quite long, but in my opinion it needs to be in order to properly flush out the characters and to get the impact of everything that happens. Amazing film and definitely a sci-fi classic.
You mean not the one with George Clooney?
The Other Guys 7.5/10 - A surprisingly good comedy -- definitely one of Will Ferrell's better roles. Mark Wahlberg is the same as in his other movies: angry.
Hellraiser - 6.5/10 - it was pretty good. The story was unique to say the least. The acting was so-so. The special effects kinda sucked, but that can not be held against this movie given its budget. I have to say that I do love the reverse time lapse effects that we never see anymore though. CGI is ruining the experience to a degree. Anyways, a good scary horror movie that is another cult classic I gave a whirl. I already put the sequel into the Netflix queue. I should add that it was a total 180 from what I thought it was about. Pinheads role, while important, is nothing that I thought it was. He is a protagonist but not he main protagonist. And the main protagonist is not this constant-evil type persona I was expecting. The whole protagonist thing was well done.
The Man Who Fell To Earth - 6/10 Lots of naked ladies which was kind of nice, though that was offset by shots of Bowie's and Rip Torn's dongs...

I'd also suggest watching these with a friend. Yeah they are out there....Watch em and read peoples thesis on these flicks. It's pretty interesting to say the least.![]()
:awe:
lol I've always wanted to see this movie just because of Bowie. I'll still see it though even though I've heard it's not that good.
