Cool, glad you liked it!  I separated the SH movie into two halves -- first halve is absolutely brilliant and couldn't have been done better... second half was not.  As a whole, I'd give the movie a B-.  It was very enjoyable and, for the most part, loyal to the series; but that second half and the witch cult was just BLAH!  I really hope Christophe Gans does a sequel since he now know what works and what doesn't.

Hey, I'm also focusing on Max modeling now!  I'm in an intro modeling class currently, but I'm quickly getting the hang of things.  Right now I'm almost finished with modeling my apartment (95% kitchen due to time constraints) for my class, and I'll be posting that on the Max forums (do you hang out there at all?).  But yeah, I've got a Materials and Lighting class next quarter, followed by either animation or advanced modeling.  It's fun stuff, but very hard!
