Mike Delano Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Frequency Mike Frequency is another good film, but a strike... C'mon guys, you have to think 'outside the box' on this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Delano Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 OK, guys, the name of the film... "Primer" from 2004. The film is about a group of guys who accidentally invent a small box (in their garage, of all places) that allows them to send an object back into time. Before long, they develope a large enough 'box' to fit a man and the consequences ensue. This is a great independent film that was made on a 7,000 dollar budget. It takes a few time watching to really get it, but it's a great film! Among the verbal clues were 'Thinking Outside the Box' (as the time travel 'Box' was a major component of the film), the low budget, and thinking of the film as an 'Introduction' (or 'Primer' if you will) to time travel. In addition, the characters in the movies had to endure consequences of travelling back in time and making changes that affected their lives and friendships. The picture included clues such as portions of the time travel box and the garage door from the location where the box was developed. New film coming later tonight or tomorrow morning.....

Mike Delano Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 OK Guys, new film - not much in the way of clues to begin with other than this is a film that hardcore sci-fi lovers either really hate or that they really love... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Delano Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Dune! That certainly fits the bill, and I can sorta seewhat looks like the Emperor's throneroom in all that gold Yo're absolutely right it is Dune - really the only verbal clues was that it's one of those love/hate films. I certainly like the film much more than the recent remake (and its following remakes). This picture is indeed of the throne room with Jose Ferrer as Shaddam IV and Silvana Magano as the Reverend Mother. The visual clues in the photo were of the throne room background, the throne, the gold trim of the Emporor's uniform, and the bald heads of both the emporor and the Reverend Mother. Another film will be posted later this evening or early tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcorley Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Well done Mr. Corley!!! Has anybody else ever gotten one on the very first guess of the photo? I surprised myself! :o Of course, it helps that I am one of those who happen to love this film, even with all the changes. I went to see it on the opening day back in OKC, and was one of the few who liked it. I like the outtakes in the new anniv. edition even better because they fill in a great number of the holes and would have likely satisfied a majority of the critics who were upset that too much was changed or left out entirely. I have the 23 hours audio book which is great for long car trips, but little else. I had even wished for the longer version (ala SciFi) but was actually dissappointed when I saw it. The acting wasn't that great in the 6 hour version... and the effects were worse. We can always hope that "The Sleeper Awakens" will be greater and better than both previous attempts.

Mike Delano Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 The Last Starfighter - kinda looks like the control room on whatever planet they went to Being a child of the 80's, this was always one of my favorites. It was among the first movies to make extensive use of CGI models. This guess is a strike, however. For the guess, though, I'll reveal another clue. Several of this films sets were reused by another hugely successfull film. This film is widely regarded as a stylistic cult classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Delano Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Come on guys, the 11th hour is quickly approaching - we need some guesses.... If someone comes up with some guesses, I'll extend this film's deadline to Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Delano Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 A great guess, but no can do. This film was made much later - that's a clue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Delano Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 OK, guys, the name of the film was 1998's 'Dark City' - a very good, very stylistic film with set design inspired by German Expressionst films like Metropolis. As a matter of fact, several of Dark City's sets were reused in 'The Matrix'. You could consider the films very similar in how they deal with the characters' sense of being and reality... I did throw one incredibly obvious clue in one of my posts about it getting down to the '11th Hour'. If you'll remember, star of this film is Rufus Sewell who currently stars in CBS's remake of the British '11th Hour' series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Delano Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 OK, Ladies - a new film today. This one is another one of those films that has a strong 'undergound' following that was not widely released in theaters. A clue? Two actors who appeared in this film have recently starred together in a hit TV series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
