The Incredible Hulk

Dude, all you freaks out there bashing this movie before you even see it......absolutely ridicules. This was one of the best comic-book movies put out so far, and a completely separate movie from the Ang Lee mess. The thing it really had going for it was a good comic book feel. It perfectly balanced realism and pulp-cheesyness, usually a comic book movie leans toward one or the other. All in all a vary enjoyable summer movie flick and my favorite movie for this year (until the Dark Knight, that is).

I recommend you see...This recommendation is to wish all my fellow Americans a happy Independence Day and a safe 4th of July.
As for those of you living in Canada, the UK, Ireland, South Africa and Indonesia, this is only a recommendation if you like every single musical known to man. If not, there are other musicals that have translated from the stage to the screen a helluva lot better.posted 4 days ago -

Wanted
by DuncanLadies and gentlemen, boys and gals, the summer movie season has officially kicked into overdrive! A couple theatre pals and I went to a matinee of this, and all in the party thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
First things first, lets talk about the cast. It's an impressive lineup, and all involved were great. James McAvoy plays Wes Gibson, the lead character (don't let the poster mislead you), and he makes him a character the audience can relate to, which is hard to do in films like this.** Angelina Jolie is also wonderful as Fox, Wes's mentor in the art of assassination. She plays her like a stern motherly figure, and doesn't overstay her welcome. And for the handful of you who haven't seen A Mighty Heart and doubt her acting chops, she conveys with only expressions in this film what lesser actors and actresses can only convincingly convey through words. As for Morgan Freeman...well, without giving anything away, let's just say you've never seen him like this before.
And when I say "give anything away", I say that with a tad bit of sarcasm. There is a plot here, and while it's not thrown in as an afterthought like the occasional Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle, it's still fairly predictable. The plot does present a moral quandary halfway through, which I like, but it's thrown out the window thanks to a gimmicky ending that sends mixed messages.
But to make up for the kind of plot we've seen before, director Timur Bekmambetov (try saying THAT five times fast!) serves up some tasty action scenes that we most definitely haven't. They have to be taken with a grain of salt (which is the reason why I didn't take my father to see it), but if one can suspend their disbelief enough to believe that bullets can curve and people can cascade through two windows at a high velocity and remain unscathed, then they'll be treated to a dazzling ballet that makes all the shootouts in every action film they've seen before look amateurish by comparison.
This, ladies and gents, is an action movie with a capital 'A', and if you're looking for perfect counter-programming to lighter fare like Wall-E, you couldn't ask for a better movie.
**On a side note, one of my friends didn't like James McAvoy in the role he played. Said friend thought he gave a good performance, but would've preferred either Ewan McGregor or Ben Barnes in the role instead.For those of you who've already seen it, I apologize for being a hypocrite.
For those of you who'll only enjoy it if it follows Mark Miller's comic to the letter, you'll need to leave the cinema after the first 20 minutes.
For the rest of you, this isn't the kind of movie you analyze, it's the kind of movie you sit down to have a good time at. If action movies aren't your idea of a good time, see something else. If you can't suspend your disbelief if the film's set in the real world in the name of having a good time, go see something else.
If none of this criteria above fits you, enjoy!posted 7 days ago -

Miracle at St. Anna
by DuncanI saw the trailer when I went to go see Wanted. It looks beautiful, the only member of the cast I don't like is Naomi Campbell, and Spike Lee is a director that even I (someone who's as white as they come) have a profound respect and admiration for.
Basically, I wanna see it, and I want to see it at a cinema.Spike Lee's got a new film coming out. Not sure what it's gonna be about, because I haven't read the book it's based on, but the trailer has me intrigued.

El Orfanato (The Orphanage)
by DuncanAn entertaining Spanish spookshow, even if it doesn't necessarily fill me with dread...
...Full review coming soon.This is the kind of horror movie for people who don't usually go out of their way to see a horror movie, or people who like films such as Poltergeist and The Others.
Granted, you have to understand Spanish if you don't like reading subtitles. There's no English dub on the DVD, at least not over here in the good ol' U.S. of A.
But if you're like me (ie, reading subtitles to get around a language barrier isn't a problem for you), give 'er a shot.posted 32 days ago
