Did you know.....
A shot of him as Kyle Reese in the movie The Terminator (1984) was reproduced as the cover-art of the video game Metal Gear (1987) (VG). Biehn was chosen as a model as he was then at the peak of his fame, and would be the ideal actor to play Metal Gear's protagonist Solid Snake had Metal Gear been an action movie.

if you check his entry on IMDB he has never been of work
but he was a sandman in Logans run, might look out for him and Command and Conquer
great performances from Michael are:
The Terminator
The Abyss
Aliens
Navy Seals (crap but good)
Tombstone
The Rock
Grindhouse
the fake trailer for Thanksgiving was great

I've just watched Midnight Run starring Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin. Thought it was a very enjoyable action based road movie. Not in the same class as Planes, Trains or anything but still pretty good. Seeing De Niro attempt comedy is pretty odd but unsurprisingly he actually manages to pull it off (and still manages to look like the coolest mother****er you've ever seen ).

300 BR - 3rd time seeing this now and I appreciate it more each time I watch it. First time I enjoyed it but it was abit of dodgy man love in their feeling. 2nd time good but I think I picked up on a few wtf scenes with experimental content (ie deformed characters and a goat or whatever the chuff it was playing an instrument) but now it feels like a great mythology film.
Going to watch Sin City on DVD tonight (chinese as its got both DTSES and uncut versions) and 16 films on BR have popped thru the door in last 3 mornings so once all 34 arrive a serious BR mont

watched a couple of sequels this afternoon
i love Lost boys and Starship troopers
Lost boys because its hip and one of the finest vampire movies ever with a spectacular soundtrack
Starship troopers just because its super awesome, everything about it is over the top and just ace and i like alot of Paul Vehoevens work
Lost boys 2
Well its just not very good, Corey feldman is back in it reprising his role as Edgar Frog and he still looks the same as he did in the original, but they've just went for gore ths time and the soundtrack isnt as good, loads of the same one liners in this sequel that appeared in the original, no vampire dies the same way......... overall just a mistake releasing it
but
watch half way through the ending credits by a visit/cameo by Sam (corey haim) who has changed alot since the original
Starship Troopers 3: Marauder
I havent seen the second one, but Casper Van Dien is back as Johnny Rico, Colonel Johnny rico and Jolene Blalock is in it as well, and she still looks stunning, but its just awful, even the tv presenter who says do you want to know more isnt the same and just not camp enough. Full of loads of the usual fare about hating bugs, wanting to squash bugs etc, but its just crap - even the special effects in places are pretty dodgy

I watched The Keep on a horrible quality bootleg last night. If anyone doesn't know, it's a film with a troubled history. It's said that the author of the novel F Paul Wilson and director Michael Mann both hate it, for various reasons, so I'm assuming that's why the film still hasn't received an official DVD release. That, and the likelihood that Paramount couldn't give a **** about it. Though I did hear that F Paul Wilson did record a commentary track for a 25th anniversary DVD, which there's still no sign of.
Whatever the reasons for the delay, I hope the parties involved can get their issues sorted and get the DVD out there. It's far too good a film to be forgotten about. The cinematography, the production design and the score by Tangerine Dream are all gorgeous. They come together to give the film a dreamlike quality, and the story is absorbing stuff too. The whole concept of Nazis versus a demonic entity fascinates the hell out of me. The film isn't as heavy on the trippy, metaphysical stuff as the novel, and the FX look a bit dated now, but it's still a great film to get stoned to. Not that I would recommend such a thing. *cough*

watched:
Doomsday
more like escape from Glasgae, mix of Escape from New york and mad max, pretty decent movie
get smart's bruce and lloyd out of control
Get Smart is one of the movies i'm most looking forward to seeing and this was alright, Just hope the real big budget movie is much better
never back down
not that bad at all, loads of fights and some even had the camera in the perspective of one of the fighters face, which made it look as if you were getting smashed
stop loss
Actually quite a decent movie about US army soldiers being re-drafted back to Afganistan/Iraq, stars a girl called Abbie Cornish who looks like a young Charlize theron
Mutant chronicles
not bad either, shot like a graphic novel and it seems its based on a turn role playing card game, loads of big names and quite a good storyLast edited by buster_broon; 20-07-2008, 21:01.

Shame about Lost boys 2 and Troopers 3. Had feelings they would be bad (Troopers 2 was horrible) but I always pray small budget wins sometimes Ive got Troopers 1 to watch on BR. Seen it loads on dvd (it was my first ever DVD I bought when they came out with Replacement killers).
Watched
Sin City (Chinese SPED DVD) - Surprised I prefer 300 now over the two. Good film though and lovely DTS 6.1
Mission Impossible 2 (BR) - Meh. Got the boxset out to watch and its only the 2nd time IVe gone near em due to detesting 2 (1 for me with Palma is a great film and really enjoy 3). I never bought 2 on DVD as I saw it at the pics and thought it was pathetic especially the lets explain what expounged means for the idiots out their at the end. I decided last night to watch it first out of the 3 as I dont consider it a MI film and I gave up the will to watch any other film afterwards. Its terribly dated already, really poor quality HD as very blurry in places and the action scenes are out of a superheros dream. I can spot loads of wireplay on it and the bikes where just silly. I forgot how much of a turkey this was and I love John Woo films. I got the film out after put it in its box and shoved it in a cupboard so I wont go near it again. From now on MI boxset is 1 and 3 for me
