The Second Arrival (1998)
only on television
The Second Arrival was a decent movie. I have not yet seen the original movie so I have no basis for comparison. I also saw it on television and it seems they cut out the nudity scene or else I was too distracted making dinner. It was worth the two hours it took to watch, but I would never buy it. The characters are believable enough and the movie did keep me on my toes. The whole plot is a very trite, Invasion of the Body Snatchers type thing, but on the whole it was okay. The alien script looked WAY too much like Klingon and gave The Second Arrival a rather Star Trekkish feel which was completely unnecessary. Yes, they are aliens. No, not all alien script looks like Klingon. I don't recommend it unless it is on television.
Ring of the Nibelungs (2004)
Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King
This is my favourite movie ever! I saw it on the Sci-fi channel because it was advertised as inspiring Tolkein (whom you all should read). It exceeded my highest expectations. This is a must see. I've never been very interested in romance and tend to prefer action but this movie is incredible! It's like a better Romeo and Juliet where Romeo isn't a sissy crybaby. My only problem is that there never was a Queen of Iceland, but that's okay. The rest of the movie makes up for it. While watching Dark Kingdom I found my self talking to the television saying things like "don't do it!" (not that I would spoil any part of the movie for you), but then again I talk to lots of inanimate objects. ;). You should definitely try to see this movie! If you live in the U.S. you can see it on the Sci-fi channel every so often.
