Anyone seen a good movie lately?

[Feva]

saw The Hulk last night...pretty good, the action was very good, but Ed Norton was excellent as Bruce Banner.  there were cool little throwbacks to the original show....the lonely man music at one point, lou ferigno in a scene, bill bixby in an old show on tv.  my only problem going in was the CGI Hulk, but even that wasn't as bad as the Ang Lee version, it was much better was far as realism.  the final fight was Abomination intense if not little over the top.

overall, pretty good...much better than i was expecting.

Same.  I saw The Hulk opening night as well.  This one got it everything right that the Ang Lee version got wrong.  The action, the pace, the acting, the storyline... everything.  It really got across the "tortured soul" element of Bruce Banner... thanks in large part to Norton who was great.  I thought the Hulk looked fine... other than a time here or there where it looked kind of cheesy.  I enjoyed the tributes to the old show as well... including the Jack McGee one (if you picked that one up).  The cameo at the end was pretty cool too... even though I knew it was coming at some point.

4/5


Also saw Kung-Fu Panda the other day with the kids, nieces and nephews.  I'm not a Jack Black fan... AT ALL, but I enjoyed this movie.  His voice work was excellent as was the rest of the cast.  As a guy who has to sit and watch a lot of animated movies these days... it was excellent overall.  Good CGI as you would expect... the fight scenes were very dynamic... funny in parts, and kept your attention throughout.  The bad guy's jail escape scene was well done.

4/5

Saw "Perfect Stranger" (Halle Berry / Bruce Willis) and thought it was OK, nothing great.  3/5

I was disappointed in it... I don't know why.

Finally saw Rambo last week. F'n LOVED it. Mucho carnage. Always a plus in my book. Only thing I would've changed is, if you watch the deleted scenes, I would've left his monologue, when the girl convinces him to take them down river, intact. Made for a much more powerful scene and explained the "bond" he had with the broad.

No Country For Old Men: Wasn't at great as I thought it would be. hated the ending, like everyone else, even though I know why it was irrelevant.

27 Dresses: Alot funnier than I thought it was gonna be.

Awake: Sucked.

schindlers list- wow that was a downer. essentially a masterpiece except for the fact that it was in english when it should have been in polish. 4.5/5

network- im as mad as hell, and im not gonna take it anymore. also its interesting how the tv industry has moved from using audiences shares to 18-49 as the key marker of success. yea...you get that. 3.5/5

zodiac- cant stand jake gyllenhal, but he was actually fine. dave fincher is a mastermind, even though you knew the outcome, you were still on the edge of your seat. great supporting cast (phillip baker ball, rob downey, john terry, brian cox...), great direction, pacing, music. 4/5

[ice grillin you]

youre just trying not be a homer because schindlers list is like a 100/5

[MDS]

well yea it was utter perfection, except for the english thing. speilberg was going for a documentary style and authenticity, and language is obviously a pretty big part of that. he was going to go the polish route, but thought he wouldnt be able to assess performances if they were in another language.

honestly the girl i was watching it with was more choked up than me, but i almost lost it at the end when the black and white morphed into color with the jews walking along the road. that might have been the most powerful scene in movie history.

[SunMo]

it would've been more powerful if they weren't asking for it

The Kite Runner - 3.5/5

[mussa]

My Left Foot - 4.5/5 - Daniel Day Lewis is the fargin man

[The BIGSTUD]

Jumper - bad acting, unexplained plot points, pretty lame. Was ok for the first 20-30 mins, but went downhill after that. D+/10

The Bucket List - good movie. Good acting, decent story. Nothing ground-breaking, but worth the watch if you like dramas. B/10.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Don't go see The Happening. 

Giving any sort of stars to the "film" would be an insult to the star system.

[General_Failure]

The trees are behind it. There, now nobody has to see it.

[mussa]

Cloverfield - actually somewhat better than I expected - 2.5/5
The Onion Movie - 3.5/5

[Sgt PSN]

I Am Legend - Agree with pretty much everything written about it here.  Excellent movie but the ending was completely rushed.  Add another 15-20 minutes to it and it would have been phenominal. 

3.5/5

walmart: high cost of low prices- robert greenwald is a piece of shtein. his documentaries suck, they are amateurish, low-grade pieces of crap. yes hes right, this company is evil, but he just goes about it in such a pathetic way. 1/5

platoon- never seen the whole thing in one sitting until now, and it will probably go down as the only good thing oliver stone has ever done. 4/5

slapshot- been meaning to see this one for a while. only hoosiers is a better sports movie. 3.5/5

[phattymatty]

so slapshot is the second best sports movie of all-time but it's only a 3.5?  meaning that theres only one possible sports movie ever to get a 5?
