I will continue to demonize my enemies.

I'm not your enemy. :hug:
Perhaps not.  You don't seem like the sort to protest, snivel or speak out.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Outlander.

It sucks.
Isn't that the movie with Vikings fighting an alien monster!? How can it possibly suck?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Lagaan.  One of my favourite films.  It's just terrific.  I also can't think of any better film to excite you about cricket.

If you've got three and a half hours spare, rent it :wub:

Lagaan is alright. It is weakened by having parts of songs in English for that British woman.

If one is searching for Bollywood, I'd suggest the remake of Devdas over Lagaaan.

Devdas is great.  But there's something about Lagaan that just does it for me.  I think the songs are superb and Aamir Khan is especially good.  Plus it's about cricket and there are about 4 films that have ever been made about it.  It's my favourite sports film.

I'm not such a fan of the cultured white lady falls in love for uncultured heathen plot. Yawn if anything to that.

He wasn't uncultured.  He got a century.  And it was mutual love, they were Krishna and Radha :o

Uh it doesn't. Not great or anything. But very solid action movie. It has Vikings, a little bit of cool sci fi, and a great monster. My only real criticism of it was: Under-utilization of Ron Perlman.

Grey Fox has only marginally better taste than Hive, remember.
:p

It is. You would think so, eh. But, it does. It's just not exciting. & It's total BS that some dude from outspace that used a gun-like weapon all is life is somehow a total Master swordsmith 5 minutes after having picked up one.

@ Buddha, so we're the same with taste barely better then Hive, eh?

You should try the 1972 Tarkovsky original.  :D

1612 - A reasonably big budget film about the "Uncertain times" in Russia after Boris' Gudonov's death. A serf named Andrei chases unicorns (literally) and kills Noblemen and the ultimate evil in Russia at the time: Poles.

They overdo the fantasy elements a bit for my liking, but it's a fairly enjoyable flick and at the very least has a great "Siege" battle scene where the Poles are trying to get the Tsarina back from said serf (who picks up Spanish fencing from his dreams) who's grabbed her and taken her to a fortress. The end is rather rushed, and the history is specious, but like I said the battles are fun, and the characters well drawn.

8.00001 Poles dressed like armored Angels being mowed down by an ingenious peasant and the bizarro-world weapons he creates outta 10
