The Matrix

Can the extremely popular Sci-Fi movie, The Matrix, have the staying power and interest that the Star Wars movies have had?

Three years after the final movie was released, interest levels are still high as evidenced by a high level of searches on major search engines. A definite cult-like following for the Matrix Trilogy has definitely developed.

Merchandising for these movies has also been huge. The movie spawned several video games, a 10 disc DVD collection, a sunglasses line, in addition to the typical toy and action figure line. The movies have rabid fans who will buy anything that has the Matrix name on it and who have spent countless hours trying to decipher the religious and philosophical messages in the movies.

While a lot of time has been spent by Star Wars enthusiasts on developing additional background and back-story, the same is true of the Matrix movies. One need only look at the Ultimate Matrix Collection which includes several additional DVDs that help explain the entire story of the Matrix in addition to the three DVDs of the movies.

Total worldwide gross on the trilogy of movies is $1,623,967,842, making the Matrix Trilogy one of the most successful trilogies of all time. The original three Star Wars movies have made $1,788,879,251 in worldwide gross revenues.

However, the parallels to the Star Wars movies don’t end there. While Star Wars was known for it’s ground breaking special effects back in 1979, the first Matrix movie was ground breaking “bullet time” special effects which is now a common effect seen in action movies.

While The Matrix still has a long ways to go in proving that it can remain popular like Star Wars has all these years, so far early numbers indicate that the Matrix movies will stay popular for many years even if no new movies are ever released.

14-18 $16 With this brilliantly innovative book, Stephane Audoin-Rouzeau and Annette Becker have shown that the Great War was the matrix on which all subsequent disasters of the twentieth century were formed. Three elements of the conflict, all too often neglected or denied, are identified as those that must be grasped if we are to understand the war: First, what inspired its unprecedented physical brutality, and what were the effects of tolerating such violence? Second, how did citizens of the belligerent states come to be driven by vehement nationalistic and racist impulses? Third, how did the tens of millions bereaved by the war come to terms with the agonizing pain? With its strikingly original interpretative strength and its wealth of compelling documentary evidence drawn from all sides in the conflict, 14-18: Understanding the Great War has quickly established itself as a classic in the history of modern warfare.

One plot twist follows another in this leaping, battering classic set in long-ago Imperial China. Eagle flies! "The Prodigal Boxer" Each defeat makes him stronger. Fei Meng ("Five Fingers Of Death) plays Fong Sai-Yuk, the beloved hero of Chinese lore. Thwarted in his early attempts to settle a score with the corrupt martial arts masters who killed his father, Fong Sai-Yuk develops his amazing fighting skills under the tenacious guidance of his mother, eagerly awaiting the day she pronounces him ready to do battle.

4 Film Favorites: Steven Seagal - Exit Wounds / Hard To Kill / Out For Justice / On Deadly Ground (Widescreen) $10.96 "Exit Wounds" - They should name a street or building after Detroit detective Orin Boyd (Steven Seagal). Instead, days after single-handedly throttling an army of political assassins, he's busted to white-gloved traffic cop. Someone wants Boyd out of the way, someone who should follow this advice: call for backup. Steven Seagal and DMX kick it up a notch in this searing action thriller from producer Joel Silver ("The Matrix") that has them joining forces in a battle against police corruption. Andrzej Bartkowiak ("Romeo Must Die") directs, fusing starpower (including Isaiah Washington, Jill Hennessy and Tom Arnold), firepower and road-burning horsepower into scenes that push the action tachometer into the red zone. "Hard To Kill," the second film of Seagal's career, is hard to beat, a volatile tale of a gunned-down L.A. detective Mason Storm, who awakens from a coma determined to find his would-be killers. As Storm, Seagal unleashes a fury of revenge - and combines cutting down bad guys with cuttingly funny one-liners! "Out For Justice" - Brooklyn-born and raised cop Gino Felino has seen many changes in the neighborhood. One sad one is that boyhood adversary and criminal scum Richie has turned the local streets into war zones. He's a mad dog unleashed, whom Gino's more than willing to send to an eternal obedience school. But he and his world-weary partner must catch Richie first. With Seagal's remarkable Aikido skills commanding center stage, "Out For Justice" is outasight! "On Deadly Ground" - The roughest of Alaska's oil-rig roughnecks, Forrest Taft specializes in fighting oil-well fires. Yet he faces an even more incendiary battle against renegade Aegis Oil president Michael Jennings. Aegis has put profits over environmental safety. And that puts Taft, a Native Alaskan activist and anyone else opposing the company, on its hit list. But Taft hits back, using the martial arts, survival and explosives skills he learned as a high-level CIA operative. Subtitles: Engl
