Karl Urban movies

 I'm watching Chronicles of Riddic now.  I think I saw it in theatres or something.  It looks real familiar, 15 minutes or so in.  Sami thinks the box is amazing and wants to eat it.  Karl's nose is very distinctive.  

Pathfinder was better than expected.  Karl in a loincloth.  Nice action, not a horrible  Hubby liked it too.

Bourne Supremacy was great, but not enough Karl.

Doom was pretty bad.  I really liked Karl's character though, and the moral slide another character had.  The best parts of the movie were like 70 minutes in though.

Commanche Moon: (bought but not yet watched)

Lotr: TtT and RotK: Also great, also not enough Karl.

The Irrefutable Truth About Demons: Haven't seen it, Can't find it.  Is this Karl's "Devour" type movie?  

Star Trek: Started this damn Urban obsession in the first place.  A fun movie with the stupidest plan for a bad guy ever.  It hurts my brain to figure that was the best that Nero could come up with.  The man is not a military genius.

The Devour category is a good bet for that one.


Oh Nero. But he waited so long for his revenge and went through time and everything, lol.

KU in Price of Milk. I don't know if this uploaded movie file has the somewhat memorable scene of KU's ass swimming in a vat of milk. ;-)

:) I too went through a KU fest.

Chronicles of Riddick: The Director's Cut is SO MUCH better than the theatrical one. I still have no clue why the Director's Cut was not used in the first place o.0

Saw Pathfinder, and bought Doom since no one was renting it. Karl is very nice to look at in it. I'm kind of hoping they put Pathfinder on the Movie Channel again, I kind of want to re-watch it through my new KU-appreciation goggles. The last time I saw it, I watched it out of pure boredom. Better than expected though.

I ♥ him as Cupid on "Xena"

:( I actually saw Doom in theaters and really liked it.

Irrefutable Truth about Demons is actually a lot of fun, as long as you don't mind a fairly low budget, non-scary horror movie. Especially since KU is half naked, beat up and soaking wet through at least half of the movie. It's one of my favorite movies ever, but considering I own movies like Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-rama and Chopper Chicks in Zombietown... take that with a grain of salt. Just about everyone I have made watch it liked it though.

Price of Milk is fairly surreal and nonsensical, but fun. KU also has a supporting role in Heaven (not the one with Cate Blanchett and Giovanni Ribisi, but the one about the psychic transgender stripper. It's better than I make it sound)

and if you want cheesy horror, he's also in Ghost Ship with Julianna Margulies and Gabriel Byrne.

Damn it, Nero was a miner, not a military genius!

:-D

I did the Karl-a-thon over the course of the summer, and agree about the nose. It looks delicate, but not at the same time.

I admit, I love Doom despite it's suckiness. But Karl and Rosamund Pike had such an awesome chemistry. *___*

I like 'The Truth About Demons' in ways I can't bring myself to like 'Devour'. It's quirky and the Karl whump is phenomenal! I've even started a crossover fic with Supernatural.

You need the Director's cut of Riddick to fully appreciate it.

In Pathfinder I thought he looked beautiful. Doom is the same, Karl seems to make an awful lot of movies where his acting talent far exceeds the quality of the material. He says more with his eyes in Doom than the second rate script could ever convey.

He's wonderfully intense, don't you think?
