Cordelia ,'Showtime'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I totally missed House Of The Dead. Never even heard of it. But it has Tyron Leitso! Did you see it? Is it worth suffering through for his hotness? Does his ass ring?
eta: Double Dragon -- how could I forget the movie that insisted that Allyssa Milano could kick ass and Mark Dacascos was related to a Party Of Fiver?

It does? Who knew?
I didn't see it. It was directed by Rob Zombie, though. I heard it sucked, of course.
You know, now that I think about it, Tyron Leitso reminds me of Michael Vartan.
Hey Jessica, Ethan is the "Hot Pick" review on rottentomatoes for Shaun of the Dead. Cool!
Yeah, I saw! Very cool. (And one of my favorite lines, too -- it came out of the interview he did with the writer & director; he said something about "zombie movies with brains," and all three of them simultaneously went "braaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiins." So you know they're good people.)

I saw it. He plays a gun-wielding underwear model with a fake British accent who keeps his clothes buttoned up to the collar at all times. Also, the movie features footage from the video game it's based on intercut with the action scenes, and serving as transitions from one scene to the next. And Clint Howard. And Jürgen Prochnow as Captain Kirk.
Everyone involved in making this movie should die horribly. Except Tyron, who should merely be forced to watch it repeatedly as punishment/aversion therapy.
Oh, and let's not forget Double Dragon and Wing Commander
No, please, let's. As a long-time fan of the WC games, that movie was seriously depressing. We went in order to show fan solidarity, but we felt fairly betrayed by the crappiness. If that's a Kilrathi, I'll eat my hat.

The best part was when they got real quiet cause they thought the spaceship passing above them might hear them.
P-C, you're getting mixed up with House of 1000 Corpses.
Movies-in-the-works based on video games also include Farcry, Bloodrayne and Doom.
eta: Uwe Boll directed House of the Dead. He's also directed the Alone in the Dark movie, plus he's currently directing the Bloodrayne movie and is slated to direct the Farcry movie. If the reviews of House of the Dead are to be believed, it doesn't bode well for any of them.

Point.
And there's that imminent Doom movie.
Which in all likelihood would also be a correct description with "imminent Doom" hyphenated. Why do the studios choose the video games that have the most tenuous and of-secondary-importance stories to base movies on?
Oh, right the 'spolsions.
