  Good for you.

  I'm not a wet-behind-the-ears movie novice and I'm certainly not a film snob. I am an intelligent movie consumer and I enjoy good action films more than almost any other movie genre.

  "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" are not good action films. Yeah, there is plenty action but they are bad, bad, bad in the script department. Both films suffered from plot holes you could fly a spaceship through and miserable character development. Too much CGI with not enough script.

  They are almost as bad as "Attack of the Clones."

  So, I'll take my foreign films with subtitles and you can take your "Dumb and Dumberer." We'll both be happy.

  By the way....have you ever seen a foreign film with subtitles? Ever seen "Hiroshima, Mon Amore" or "Rashamon" or "The Seventh Seal?" There is more to foreign films than Godzilla and Kung Fu.

    I just don't hold most 'action films' to the standard of Spencer or Milton, is all.

    Take care, Chris

    I won't bother with League. I watched the first 20 minutes of Lara Croft at home, and with a wide screen TV, the costant close-ups of her lips became annoying fast. Nice lips, but not good enough to make the movie. I turned it off, and eventually gave away the disc.
    I have no problem with imports, and about 25-30% of my collection is imported. There just isn't alot of stuff coming out of Hollywood these days that's worth seeing.
    To each his own.
