    Hot Fuzz works out very well as an action-comedy that acts like it's going to be serious, but then it reminds you the whole things a joke. And someone used the word "tosh", and I had to explain to everyone else in my movie party what it ment. Thanks Sega-16!

    Spider-Man 3 wasn't the best of the 3, but I liked it better than 2. The ending seemed a little odd, considering we know the same people wont be in the next movie.

    And also, Peter goes emo and everyone laughs at him, and I laugh along with the rest of the theatre.

    I have Spiderman on DVD, but I still haven't watched the damn thing yet.

    Throughout history, suspicion has always bred conflict. The real conflict, though, resides in people's hearts. This conflict has just begun.

    I finally got around to buying a copy of Dr. Strangelove. It's really, really, good... there's a reason it's considered a classic. Even though it's a Cold War period piece, the skewerings of superpower politics and tensions are still pretty much timeless. And it will still make you laugh out loud even after all of this time.

    28 Weeks Later: thumbs down. The original was all haunting and lonely and desperate; it didn't really need a sequel in the first place. Noooo, suddenly everything has to be left open for a trilogy

    I mean, I loved how there were cute little touches sprinkled through the first film: Frank and Hannah's Christmas lights, 'THE END IS EXTREMELY FUCKING NIGH', and all that. There's a 'very special' kid as the main character in 28WL, and there's no real character development, just action sequences strung together. It tries so hard - American jets firebombing London streets, convenient not-quite-explanation of how the Rage virus survived the hosts starving, helicopter slicing up a crowd of Infected.

    Not a bad movie, just too dissimilar from the original for my liking.

    Thanks, Vinny.

    The last two movies I've seen are ones my wife bought spontaneously: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Hellboy II.

    Indiana Jones 4 was full of cringe-worthy moments (starting with the nuclear explosion in the beginning). The most jaw-droppingingly "COME ON!!!" moment for me, however, was when Indiana felt the need to jump into a very Ross Geller-like lecture detailing the differences between quick sand and dry sand . . . as he was sinking in it. All in all, a complete piece of crap from beginning to end, which not only the fantastic Cate Blanchett could save.

    Hellboy II was alright, I suppose. The great thing about the original was it spliced a very mundane, every-man love story with an over-the-top, gothic adventure, with a light sprinkling of subtle, dry humor throughout. Hellboy II, on the other hand, was all over-the-top, and the humor was neither dry nor especially effective. The make-up effects were spectacular, however (especially for Abe).

    And Abe and Hellboy singing Barry Manilow.

    Didn't know Hellboy was a lightweight.

    And I thought I'd miss David Hyde Pierce as Abe, but Doug Jones sounds just like him

    Watched Disturbia again last night.

    Not a bad movie. But I was again left with the same feeling that I got from a handful of other movies, including that blackjack movie with Kevin Spacey: it's a goddamn kid's movie. As soon as I realize that teenagers are the target audience for a particular film, I tend to get pulled out of it.

    It was different when I was a teenager (and those movies I enjoyed 10 or 12 years ago are still fine with me today), but now I just find it incredibly distracting.

    God, I'm old.

    The wife and I just bought The Dark Knight and watched it tonight (we've already seen it in the theaters, though).

    My God, wow. Christopher Nolan is awesome.

    And yet it still rather disturbs me that, while there isn't a drop of blood in the entire movie, it is still being marketed to kids. This is as much a kids movie as Heavy Metal was.

    Oh, and I heard a rumor that the big black prisoner who takes the ferry bomb detonator at the end of the film will eventually be Mr. Freeze. Has anyone else heard this?

    Dark Knight was good, but it wasn't as awesome as reviewers would have you believe, personally I believe it is a solid film that shows just how far Batman movies have fallen.

    The last film I watched was Quantum of Solace - James Bond is awesome

    I'll admit that the Dark Knight didn't entirely live up to my expectations, although that honestly would have been impossible. I thought the writing, paving, and direction was superlative, even though things became a little unraveled towards the end.

    I thought that, for how much time they spent developing Harvey Dent, Two-Face's role was a bit anticlimactic.

    And the fact that the Joker thread was totally unresolved was a bit disappointing (although I believe there was deliberate symbolism in the fact that he was "left hanging" at the end of the film).

    Saw Quantum of Solace myself. I love this new direction the Bond series has taken. Daniel Craig may very well prove to be the best Bond ever (or at least second best)
