Pretty amazing movie about a game designer who enters an alternate game reality armed with a unusual biological gun made from animal parts that connects directly to the player's nervous system. (via Amazon)

I enjoyed this movie and although it's not one of M. Night Shamalayan's best, it has what I would dare to say is one of the best suspense scenes in cinema. That's a big accomplishment. It's the scene where Joaquin Pheonix's character is watching tv in the closet. I won't ruin it for you, just watch it. (via Amazon)

The 80's turned out some amazing cult classic fantasy films. Like Ice Pirates! You can't go wrong with a rag tag band of space pirates. Throw in a princess and you've got awesome. (via Amazon)

Even my current dismay over Christian Bale couldn't keep my away from the 4th installment of the Terminator series coming out this May. Looks amazing! (via Terminator Salvation)

Sigh. I'm a sci fi head and I grew up on the classic Star Trek and TNG. So, as much as I don't want to see the new Star Trek movie, I will. I can make a list of over a dozen things wrong with this movie starting with the countless cliches evident in the trailer. At least the special effects should pay off but don't expect much more. This movie will get my money and I will kick myself for spending the 12 bucks. (via Apple)

Hold on. This movie wasn't a piece of crap movie like i thought it would be. The ending actually was REALLY surprising. And it left me thinking "That's so effed up. What would I have done." Watch it. You won't be disappointed. (via Amazon)

Zardoz

2 people recommended this item

Description

"I am Arthur Frayn, and I am Zardoz. I have lived 300 years, and long to die. But death is no longer possible, I am immortal. I present now my story - full of mystery and intrigue. Rich in irony, and most satirical. It is set deep within a possible future, so none of these events have yet occurred. But they may! Be warned, lest you end as I. In this tale I am a fake god by occupation, and a magician by inclination. Merlin is my hero! I am the puppet master. I manipulate many of the characters and events you will see. But I am invented too for your entertainment and amusement. And you, poor creatures, who conjured you out of the clay? Is God in show business too?"
