Planet Of The Apes

I've said this before, but I think it bears repeating. 'Apes' has the best twist ending in the history of Hollywood.

it's up there, that's for sure. I really liked the ending of Sixth Sense, also.

I love this movie and this director's cut is long overdue! I love the story, I love the acting, I love the creepy-cool vibe. Go get this one if you haven't seen it. Trust me, it's great.

One of my favorites! Is it out on bluray?

I'm sorry to geek out on you folks, but ever since I saw this on the History Channel (in fact I missed half of it because something came up and I've been disappointed ever since). This is the BEST documentary I have ever seen on ancient Rome and I have seen a LOT of them! Check out the description:

 

QUOTE
It is 114 B.C. and the Republic of Rome is a small empire clinging to the rim of the Mediterranean. Suddenly, terror grips the Romans as the first barbarian attack smashes through the imperial boarder, paving the way for what would become one of the most tumultuous eras in the history of mankind.

Filled with dramatic re-enactments and action-packed battle scenes, ROME: RISE AND FALL OF AN EMPIRE chronicles the dramatic story of one of history's greatest empires from its first major battle to its remarkable military feats and through its eventual fall. Told from the point of view of the Roman people under violent attack, HISTORY takes viewers inside the fiery battles of a civilization crumbling in the face of brutal invasions. Vivid re-creations offer a firsthand look at the chaotic state of an empire in flames, while compelling characters on both sides fight for victory. Teeming streets, horseback battles, warring armies, and gladiatorial contests coexist with magnificent tales of Roman debauchery and excess.

From the first Roman-Barbarian War through every gruesome battle, HISTORY follows each harrowing moment of the famed empire's slow decline and the human struggle for survival in this exciting 13 episode series.

This was my latest acquisition. Very worthwhile especially if ou are into weird crazy abstract animated sort of stuff.

At home we've been rewatching Season 4.0 as a refresher before we delve into the new episodes! Such an amazing series and season. I'm *trying* to hold out for them to release the entire series on BlueRay but it's not easy!
