Addendum:

AF Pilot Steve Rogers has crashed on the Amazon island, and is being questioned by the queen.

That would be Steve Trevor.  When it comes to obtaining useless knowledge, wikipedia is a wonderful thing.

Hehe, If I hadn't already sealed up the Video to mail back, I could have also looked at the jacket. Every time I see Trevor, I think of Aeon Flux.

I gotta recommend a movie I just watched:  Ride with the Devil.  Ang Lee film with Tobey Maguire in the lead.  I Netflixed it after reading a book on the guerrilla campaigns in Kansas and Missouri in the Civil War and ended up, while doing further research, seeing this movie listed as an 'in popular culture' thing on Wiki.

Apparently it didn't see very wide release in the U.S...the reasons for this being many and varied, but one commonly referenced is that the studio didn't believe that a movie with a black guy fighting for the Confederates would sell well...of course the character in the movie was inspired by a real person...

Anyhow, it's a pretty good flick in the 'war drama' vein, and there's some decent attention to detail...the bushwhackers tend to carry multiple pistols rather than rifles, for example.
"Dialogue from a play, Hamlet to Horatio: 'There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.' Dialogue from a play written long before men took to the sky. There are more things in heaven and earth, and in the sky, than perhaps can be dreamt of. And somewhere in between heaven, the sky, the earth, lies the Twilight Zone."

Bedtimes Stories (Adam Sandler one, not the skinimax one) was a pretty darn good movie, Great family film, but very predictable.

Taken was outstanding. Retired soldiers daughter goes to France, get's kidnapped and sold on the sex slave market, resulting in the Perfection of killing the french, Albanians, and eventually a sheik. Why It even has a torture scene that makes me proud. ;)

I recommend StarTrek  ;)

Seriously though, I rented "Taken" with Liam Neeson and I like it. He would make a good James Bond.

Oh by the way, I recommend StarTrek

Well, the 1965 film Incubus features a pre-Star Trek William Shatner speaking Esperanto.  That has to be worth looking over.


Also, have you ever seen the film Joyride?
