How about posting some shadowrun-ish movie reviews. (Actually reviews of
shadowrun-ish movies:) I'll even start.

(I've been informed that some of these movie titles maybe different in
different countries. So include a brief synopsis. [w/o ruining the movie]
* -- Probably a waste of time
** -- If your really bored...
*** -- Worth watching mediochre film
**** -- Pretty good
***** -- An Obvious Classic

Nemesis -- **** Hey, this film is chalked full of violence. Its about
a cop who has many cybernetic replacements who has to figure out
a psuedo predictable plot by cyborgs. But it does include great
action scenes, execellent gun-fights, and a few interesting
characters. There is even a guy who has a gyro-harness and LMG!

Split Second -- *** Starring Rutger Hauer and Kim Catrall. Rutger's character
is very interesting but some of the others are pretty plain.
The action scenes are pretty good, but not so many. It includes
a sort of Call of Cthulu type plot that may make a good shadowrun.

Blade Runner -- ***** Starring Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer. Most of you
have already seen it, and if you haven't, you should. I suggest
getting the directors cut. This could be a great shadowrun if
your players haven't seen it. (Fat chance)

The Hidden -- **** Okay, this is set in modern day, but it could easily
be changed to a shadowrun adventure. Starring that uhhh....
I forget his name but he appears in Dune and Twin Peaks.
Its about this creature that... well, see the movie.

The Hidden II -- * I didn't even finish the whole movie. It's good to sleep
too.

Aliens -- ***** Okay, this is to _far_ in the future. But if you plan on
running a bugs run, this has good atmosphere. Starrs Sigorney
Weaver. It's a good old Marines vs. Bugs. (Anyone played Space Hulk?

Alien -- ** Not as cool as Aliens, but not that bad.

Aliens 3 -- *** This could be modified to be a Shadowrun <evil GM grin>

So go ahead and post some other movies. Or feel free to comment on my reviews.
(Not that you weren't anyways :)
