The Island

I just got back from this movie.

Generally, I liked it. Pretty cool action film and storyline. A new touch on the cloning issue, I suppose. I really liked the casting. Love Scarlett Johansson, Ewan McGregor is my favorite actor, and Ethan Philliips had a pretty big role in it. So that was pretty cool.

I like scarlett a lot. But I doubt I'll go see this movie. I recieved premier tickets a week or so ago, but I gave em away... Maybe I'll rent it when it comes out on dvd.

I saw it with my friends yesterday. It was a pretty cool movie, and I loved that Ethan Philips was in it. That is definatly a movie worth seeing again. Ewan McGregor was pretty cool in it too... and I'll admit that I was paying more attention when there was two of him on screen...

. Yeah, the girl I went with was the same way. She's a Ewan girl and the whole time Tom and Lincoln were on together, she had this huge silly grin on her face. It was priceless.

Yeah, my friend, Lauren, was like "....wow....... he's really ...... wow...."

I'll probably see the movie when it comes to DVD. I will say this. Here in England, the movie hasn't been hyped as much as it should have. I know most tabloids and magazines have devoted space to movies like Fantastic Four, War of the Worlds and Batman Begins, but The Island hasn't got the space it deserved, which I think is a shame.

I hated Batman Begins. I was like "I actually paid to go see this?" and then I went back and made Chris give me my money back. lol

I thought batman begins was ok. It was too long at first. All that B/S with him being trained! I wanted to see him in his batman suit and get it ova with!

Sam Kenobi · **Wed Jul 27, 2005 1:18 pm**

WTF? Batman Begins was the best movie this summer. No question.

Starbuck · **Wed Jul 27, 2005 1:24 pm**

I just did not like that movie. It was like..... I don't know. The best movie I've seen this summer is The Island.

Sam Kenobi · **Wed Jul 27, 2005 1:39 pm**

Because Ewan McGregor is so hot!!! Ahhhhh!!!!

(that was my Teen Girl Squad impression)

I'd give The Island... second. Tied with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Starbuck · **Wed Jul 27, 2005 3:21 pm**

LOL I love teen girl sqaud....

Charlie and the Chocolate factory was pretty good too.

Finally got around to seeing this. I thought it was okay, but.... It took place sometime after 2050, but all the cars were this year's models. You'd think they'd change them around a little bit at least, but whatever, it was still good. I didn't get that part where the woman had the baby, and they gave it away to the parents. Was the mother a clone of the other mother? I didn't notice if so.

Oh, I didn't notice.

I thought he mentioned the "eugenics laws of 2050" I guess it was actually 2015,

No excuse for the cars, though. Dodge? Come on.

Sam Kenobi · **Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:02 am**

I noticed that about the cars too. Lame.

Phew, I wasn't the only one. We'll blame the acting.

Sam Kenobi · **Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:05 am**

IntrepidIsMe · **Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:06 am**

Haha, that guy wasn't a bad actor. Just looking for a way out.

IntrepidIsMe · **Wed Aug 03, 2005 4:22 pm**

Did anybody else notice all the brands? I thought that was kinda neat. XBOX, Amtrack, MSN Search, etc. As if amtrack will still be in business then, anyway.... But yeah, def spiffy.

That's because you're lost in Britain. HIdden from the rest of the world.

madlilnerd · **Thu Aug 04, 2005 2:36 pm**

No, it's because so many of the English are complete uneducated scum who wouldn't appreciate good film if it danced infront of them naked apart from a sweatband around the thigh. So, there's very little advertisement for a lot of good movies, and they don't pull in enough money and don't run for long enough. In my town, Spirited Away ran for 1 week and wasn't advertised anywhere, which is why I didn't get to see it at the cinema. If you want to find out about worthwhile, intellectual pieces of cinema, you have to watch a program called "Talking Movies", but I can't remember when it's on, so I rarely see it.

I saw the previews of this movie and it looks good. Does the previews give u ideas about the movie is really about?
