    I mean I understand why I am supposed to like it but I found it to be boring and a waste of the time it took to watch it.

        I liked Woody Allen's new film, "Whatever Works". Just saw it last night. Some very funny lines.

          How do you talk about that movie without mentioning the awesomeness that is Robert Downey Jr.?

            What about him...his part was complex and he played it well...doesn't change the fact that I didn't find him that funny In fact the real black guy was much funnier

              Finally got to see Let the Right One In, and loved it. Wonderful and haunting movie.

              As per usual in the case of movies like this, I am not at all looking forward to the remake that will come out next year.

                Saw G.I. JOE last night, pretty good flick. As much as they changed from the series, I think the changes worked for making it a more modern telling of the rise of Cobra. You don't see Cobra Commander until the end, and I think it was an excellent ideal of them to keep him out of all the previews. Didn't exactly have the greatest mask there, but that something that could be easily fixed in the sequal. You see him earlier in the movie, and you wouldn't suspect him to be CC, but now as I kinda look back on it, it makes total sense to have him be CC. But I won't give it away who he is for everybody who hasn't seen it yet. It had its cheese moments, but lets not kid ourselves, the series was pretty cheesy to begin with anyways.

                    You are assuming there will be a sequel

                      Getting the Friday estimates tomorrow will probably give an idea of the chances.

                      Based upon very little, I think it has a better than 50:50 chance of making enough to get a sequel greenlit.

                        According to the Star Diaper, the movie was not available to critics for advanced reviews. Not a good sign.
                        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                          I don't really think it's much of a sign of anything, but could hurt the movie more than letting critics savage it. Everyone knew this would be a movie critics would hate months ago. Bad reviews weren't going to hurt whatever this movie is going to do (Transformers 2 certainly demonstrated that this summer), but not screening it for critics could make Paramount look unconfident in the movie, thus making the public more wary of it.

                          This also breaks Ghost Riders record for most expensive movie not to be screened for critics.

                            The bolded is how I feel. I don't care what the critics say, but when a movie (especially one like this) is held out, I start to wonder, ya know?

                            And Ghost Rider wasn't bad, but it wasn't great at all.

                              And that's why you should just screw it and hope you've got a critic proof movie.

                              The only movies that can get away with no advanced screenings are bad horror movies. They're going to make $20-$40 million no matter what.

                                Oh, I'll see it, prob on rental (the rental part hasn't changed) but it might have changed my expectations of the movie.
