Do you have any idea how many times I've said that we need to see Tetris as a talking picture show? Finally.

has anybody seen this...?
I rented it on iTunes for a flight and it was entertaining.  If for no other reason there aren't a lot of recent, well produced movies on vid game history.

That sort of brings up an interesting question. What video game property based movies are actually good? Of course, a lot of these "films" are made by the terrible Uwe Boll.

These are the ones I can think of..

Super Mario Bros.
The Wizard (not really a game, but must count)
War Games (not sure it was actually a game)
Tomb Raider 1 & 2
Tron
Tron Legacy (My favorite)
DOOM
Prince of Persia
Wing Commander
Far Cry 
Bloodrayne 1, 2, and 3
House of the Dead
Dungeon Siege 1 & 2
Max Payne
Resident Evil Series (5 films?) (1 and 3 are decent)
Silent Hill
Alone in the Dark 1 & 2
Postal
Warcraft (Out next year maybe...so I guess we wouldn't know how it is)
Final Fantasy The Spirits Within
Final Fantasy Advent Children

I'm probably missing some.....anyone else know of any not listed?

Tetris (2016)

A masonry worker in the 1980's Soviet Union is issued the hardest task of his life, being assigned to lead the construction of a local communist party committee building in Leningrad, while avoiding to make the building structurally weak and prone to collapse using only poorly made construction materials.

Directed by Uwe Boll, written by Alexey Pajitnov.
