Watched State of Play last night via netflix. Decent thriller. I probably liked it more since I had very low expectations.

Yeah, I agree. Fairly decent twist at the end, but nothing too memorable. One of the few movies I could tolerate Affleck in.

 

I watched 2012 and A Perfect Getaway on Saturday night. 2012 was a little better than I expected, but still incredibly implausible. A Perfect Getaway I was very pleasantly surprised with. One of the better acting jobs I have seen in awhile, both from Jovovich and Steve Zahn. Timothy Olyphant was pretty solid as well. Much better than I was expecting.

I went ahead and added A Perfect Getaway to the queue.

Peter Saarsgard as villain Hector Hammond (Green Lantern film).

should be fixed now. I looked at what was pasted, I have no idea where that jumble of address crap came from

Correct, working now.

Some of the choices for Superman are baffling. It is no wonder why that franchise has been in development hell for the better part of the past 25 years

Meh. Both Howard and Cheadle are very forgettable in the role. That being said it's a pretty fun action movie. I didn't really dig Mickey Rourke's character. I'm still trying to figure out what his beef was, and I couldn't really figure out if he was a bad guy or a good guy. And all that stuff about the new element... chincy plot device that made my eyes gloss over.

 

I think his dad helped build the technology that led to the energy core of the Iron Man suit, but was kicked off the project for some reason which led him to be sent back to Russia and live in poverty...er something like that.

That was the implication, that Tony's dad was a "robber baron/thief," that Vanko (the father) was the developer of the technology and it was stolen out from underneath him....then he was deported to Russia before he could mount a legal counter-attack.

 

Hence, the vendetta motivation, to get back for his family what he felt was unjustly taken...although that didn't make much sense, he never personally tried to profit exactly.

 

As someone mentioned, not the strongest plot point.

 

I tried to watch Valentine's Day and made it to the 80 minute mark...should I even bother watching the ending?

 

Such a waste of 21 talented performers, minus Swift (annoying!) and Lautner. And I heard more "holiday-themed" movies are coming from Gary "Pretty Woman" Marshall.

Can't wait to see Killers. Love to see hollywood coming up with an original script anchored by two real acting talents. count me IN for the midnight showing.

The original bbc miniseries was excellent. I really, really, really enjoyed it.

 

Refused to see the remake on principle.

Well played...and as hot as I think Heigl is, all of her movies are crap.

I didn't realize it was based on anything until the ending credits.

I saw The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus last night. Good flick, interesting how they were able to seamlessly work in Ledgers friends as his alter egos.

That's another one I plan on checking out eventually.

the girl in Imaginarium, Lily Cole, I cant figure out if she is beyond hot or if she is porcelain doll creepy. Her body is just killer

google image results = creepy

when you see the movie you will know what I am talking about. There are some scenes where she is absolutely gorgeous, and others where she looks like a living porcelain doll

I have the same feeling when I see Eva Green...can't figure her out.

I can see what you are saying in regards to some of her modeling photos, but she was hot from start to finish of Casino Royale. Lily Cole had a few shots in Imaginarium that were just odd.

I saw Iron Man 2 the other day. I liked it. It's not going to win any of the major awards, but it was still good. The first one is better though. I did like

the inclusion of the Captain American shield and Thor's hammer after the credits were over.

Anyone else looking forward to Robin Hood?

So I finally saw Avatar. Whoever said it was the 21st century version of Star Wars was balls on accurate.

Anyone else looking forward to Robin Hood?

Frankly...no.
