Yeah, it's called formula writing. Terrible idea but they makes
their money so they don't care
As for
the Matrix I have only seen in on a 4 inch screen on the plane
last yaer and I found it very confusing.

If you saw it on a 40ft screen it still wouldn't be any better,
unless you get off on special effects. Someone told me about
Harry Potter as well. Harry was sent to live with his aunt and
uncle when he was a baby to protect him from his destiny. Sound
familiar?
DD- Here is the basic story of Dark City:<
br>
Aliens have destroyed Earth and so they have created an artificial
world for people to live in so they can control them. But one
man "the chosen one" finds out that the world he's
living in isn't real and so he goes and saves the day. Does that
sound familiar? Why can't anyone make anything origional instead
of ripping other people off?

Wo, that really does sound exactly the same as the Matrix. And
while on Harry Potter, I've only read the first book, but I don'
t think it rips off Star Wars that much. The foster parents he
lives with are evil and hate him, unlike Owen and Beru. And the
main bad guy isn't his father either, that's for sure.

I heard that the villan was a relative.
Is anyone looking forward to the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I'm not. From what I've seen on the net it doesn't look that good and I don't really like any of the actors in it apart from Christopher Lee, but that's only because he is in Ep2.

Actually I think all stories fall under 6 archetypes...But I don't remember what they are so don't ask me. My point is that there is going to be a bit of a similarity with stories but what I hate is when they copy the details and visuals.

I think re-making your own movie like they did with Dark City and the Matrix is worse than stealing an idea from someone else.

I've only read the first book of the LOTR trilogy so I'm looking forward to the first film. I'll have to read the others too.

I am totally looking forward to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Those are some great books. Some movies I love that you guys reminded me of:
Pulp Fiction
LA Confidential
Resevior Dogs
American Beauty
Crimes and Misdemeanors
I acyuallt found that Jurassic Park the movie was more effevtive then the book. Despite how wonderfully well-writen, scientific and detailed it was the movie enchanted to whole country and let us realistically see these dinosaurs. It left millions breathless and brought fame to Michael Crighton, for those reasons I have JP as one of the few movies that if not better then the book was more meaningful.
Ratcat, a great book was Watership Down, written by English author Richard Adams. If you want your kids to see a movie you can love to(steer 'em away from Pokemon) rent the animated version of Watership Down. A great movie, for like 6/7 and up.
