We have really idiotic movie name translations here..
(Movie name - Direct translation from finnish)
Alien - Eight passenger
Hands of Steel/aka Atomic Cyborg - Programmed Muscles (like wtf?)
Sphere - Guest from the future
Independence Day - War of the worlds
Jingle all the way - My father is the turboman

Sphere and Independence Day makes sense tho
Sphere is one of my favourite movies and 'guest from the future' does actually make sense...just kinda gives away the story line and such
Its still one of my favourite movies. I think its really interesting and I liked the book (read the book before the movie came out).
Event Horizon is also one of my favourite movies
I dont see how sphere is a ripoff of event horizon. EH was about hell and shit and horror. Sphere is about an alien entity that bestows powers onto humans and such
Either which way, I like em both
Never seen Solaris. I checked the link tho. Looks cool. Gunna see if i can find it at the video store.
They didnt do a remake of it with Tom Cruise did they? Didnt tom cruise star in a movie called Solaris a few years back?

They did a 2002 remake with Clooney that has the same story, but it's crap. The 1972 version has Tarkovsky's direction and cinematography. Also it's the scariest shit I've seen - like midgets and laughing children running through the space station (hallucinations) etc.
There is a 2CD internal or ind release with proper eng subs - seen it posted twice on usenet.
P.S. i said ripoff because all three movies are totally similar - the horror comes from inside your mind, and not in physical form of monsters. And it's activated by some out-of-this-world supreme being/intelligence. Hell or aliens - it doesn't really matter.

Gunna keep my eye out for it...still gunna check blockbuster tho. They may have it.
Oh, I getcha now. yeah, its more a psychological thing than in your face horror and gore
Thats what i like about it tho, provokes the mind. I love shit like that. Movies like that scare me good because my mind runs wild
Near a gray and unnamed city is the Zone, an alien place guarded by barbed wire and soldiers. Over his wife's numerous objections, a man rises in the dead of night: he's a stalker, one of a handful who have the mental gifts (and who risk imprisonment) to lead people into the Zone to the Room, a place where one's secret hopes come true. That night, he takes two people into the Zone: a popular writer who is burned out, cynical, and questioning his genius; and a quiet scientist more concerned about his knapsack than the journey. In the deserted Zone, the approach to the Room must be indirect. As they draw near, the rules seem to change and the stalker faces a crisis.

That's what S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is vaguely based on (together with the book)
looks cool, but is there an english dubbed version? I dont speak russian (thats the language right?).
I dont think I could watch a movie where I dont know what the characters are saying. Looks interesting from the trailer tho

Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 3 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475343/

And the book (roadside picknic) is being distributed freely on net net in many places. Allthough I simply just cant read it from the screen nor self printed paper.
There's also a US movie coming up http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0837157/ (not much info there ;P)
good luck challenging Tartovski. It's rumoured to be directed by David Jacobson

That's just the tip of the ice berg. The new idiotic thing is taking the english name and changing it to another one. Like 'The Brave one' is called 'Stranger In You' and 'Equilibrium' is called 'Cubic' here

Where do you live? Or rather, what language are you talking about?
I wonder why they change the title of the movie if it doesnt translate well
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
