      <description><![CDATA[I will look forward to this. I have the 118 minute version with the Gottfried Huppertz score and I hate to admit it, but I still have the appalling 80 minute Moroder version. (Timings are European: U.S. would be shorter.)

I know that there are plans to release this version on Blu-Ray sometime this year, so I may have to wait for that.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Today I was able to see the recontructed original cut of Fritz Lang's &quot;Metropolis&quot; (the premiere screening, it was shown parallel in Berlin, Frankfurt and on TV in Germany and France). With now 147 (of 153) minutes, it is the most complete version ever shown since the original screening in Berlin 1927. The original musical score was performed in its entirety and live for this show.

If you have the chance to see this version, I surely recommend it. Even though the 20 additional minutes come from a terminally scratched and half-destroyed 16 mm copy, I think they are essential for the film story and well worth to be included.

I have to admit I had never seen the film before, so I am not really the person to do comparisons of different versions. But one thing I can say; it is really an impressive work.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[We will be going to see a selection from &quot;Ponyo&quot;, &quot;Invictus&quot;, &quot;Book of Eli&quot;, &quot;Soloman Kane&quot;, &quot;Percy Jackson&quot; and if I have any say in it the Fireman Sam movie.

Mrs. SkidMarks has told me that &quot;Alice in Wonderland&quot; and &quot;The Wolfman&quot; are not optional. We don't necessarily have to see them on opening night, but I would fear for my life if we don't see them within a few days of opening.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Well, I have a bad eye so 3-d doesn't work for me. If I were to comment I would say that it was a solid attempt to make a spectacular sci-fi movie with great ideas, but a typically mediocre James Cameron storyline. Great visuals, average story. At least he's not as bad as Ridley Scott though.

Rant rant rant.

PS I can also rant about 'Sherlock Holmes' if anyone's interested...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[What did you think?

For what it is worth, I would recommend anyone to see it in 3-d, just don't expect more than 1.5-d characters or a plot thinner than tracing-paper. 

I Heard one reviewer say that you should treat it like an opera: don't worry about the story, just bask in the spectacle, which seemed pretty accurate to me.]]></description>
