Stargate is the only film by Roland Emmerich that I have on Blu-ray. All of his other films have ranged from mediocre to outright eye-rolling. I got to meet the guy who played “Skaara” at a convention a few years ago. Nice guy. He was only one of two actors who played their characters in the series as well as the movie.

"Highlander II" is why the phrase "There can be only one" also applies to movie sequels. There is only one Highlander movie, the original (and the international cut at that, not the US one). Same with Matrix, there is only one Matrix movie, there is some internet rumor that there were create two sequels, but I refuse to believe it! "Truman show" I'd rank up with the topic. It's a Jim Carrey movie, so you expect slapstip humour but the movie is most excellent.

"Anna" (Luc Besson's) surprised me. I thought it was going to be a rehash of his "La Femme Nikita", but it wasn't and it was so much more and had a great ending. The girl in it, Sahsa Luus is a model in real life and she acted very well. Also, Cillian Murphy and Helen Mirren did a great job too, and also Luke Evans.
"Overlord" was also a surprise to me, even though it was far fetched. But hey, JJ Abrams and WWII go figure. Watch for entertainment purposes.
"The Decline" (French title "Jusqu'ue le Decline") was also decent and unexpected in plot.

This is about as close as we will probably get to to Castle Wolfenstein movie.
