movies was the best of the lot.

Scenes included in LOTR:TTT DVD
PerlStalker
writes, USA Today has a story
detailing a few of the scenes added to the LOTR:TTT
Extended DVD Edition. Like the first film’s release, this
extended edition won’t be out until November. (It’s Nov. 18, to
be precise.)
Aliens 5 & 6 ?!
PerlStalker writes, Zap2It has a story discussing story
lines for Aliens 5 and 6. The third movie sucked so
bad that I didn’t even bother with 4. (I didn’t hear
anything good about 4 either.) I’m almost afraid to think
what the next two would be like. *shudder* Given all the Alien talk lately, it might be a good time for me to review that Alien Legacy DVD set I’ve got. Hint: I’d have only bought the first two if the DVD set hadn’t been marked with the VHS price.
AFI released top 100 heroes and villains
Mr. Vapor writes, The American Film Institue
has posted its list of top 100 heros & villains in movies.
The top genre hero is Indiana Jones at #2 (Ripley is #8, Han Solo
is #14). The top genre villain is Darth Vader at #3 (HAL 900 is
#13, the Alien in Alien is #14). Read the list for more goodness.
Also of note that The Terminator is #48 on the good list and #22
on the villains list. Amazing what a little reprograming can do… Sadly, Superman and Batman placed 26 and 46 respectively, while Spider-Man didn’t even make the list.
Halloween Treat: Alien Coming Back to Theaters
FilmJerk.com has the details here, but the high points are that the 1979 film will be restored and will include deleted scenes.
I was four when the original debuted (and most of you probably weren’t even born), so this will be a real treat.
29th Saturn Award Results
Complete coverage is on Cinescape. Minority Report and Lord of the Rings were the big winners.
Review: The Matrix Reloaded
I’ve tried to keep the review relatively spoiler-free, but the discussion will probably get you more spoiled than a $5000 gift certificate to Mr. Bulky. Hey, why are you still reading this? Go see the movie already.

Anonymous Coward writes, As seen on Slashdot, aparently a lot of the rumors about Toby McGuire’s back problems are true, and quite a bit of chaos/drama has ensued over the whole thing .. including him getting fired, and then re-hired.
