Most Disappointing: Superman Returns

“How many ‘f’s’ in ‘catastrophic’?”

 

The Dark Knight

“You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

Batman Begins

“There is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge… Me.”

 

Update

I’ve realized that at least right now, I don’t have time to post 3 times a week (not that I have been doing it anyway).  I will still post as often as I can (probably 2-3 times a week still), but not on a regular schedule.  The easiest way to keep up with the posts is to subscribe to my blog.

I’ll try and get up my Batman Begins post today and my Dark Knight post sometime soon, even though everyone in the world has already seen it and reviewed it.  Thanks for reading.

Vantage Point

“The beauty of American arrogance is that they can’t imagine a world where they’re not a step ahead.”

Wall-E

Hellboy

“If there’s trouble, all us freaks have is each other.”

Update/mini-review of Get Smart

Okay, so I didn’t end up seeing Wanted, so that’s why I didn’t review it.  I suppose I could have reviewed Get Smart instead, which I saw a few weeks ago.  But it didn’t really lend itself to a full review — it’s a C/C- movie, not funny enough for a comedy, not exciting enough as an action movie, but not entirely awful.  Steve Carrell is okay, Anne Hathaway is mousy, The Rock can actually act decently and the plot was entirely too predictable.  It’s a total mindless diversion and nothing more.

And instead of regaling everyone with why Superman Returns is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen (don’t worry, I will write about it soon enough), I decided to go with something slightly more timely (also, I watched it tonight on TV) and review the original Hellboy on the day the sequel comes out.  I will be doing the same next Friday with a review of Batman Begins on the the day The Dark Knight (sweet) comes out.

In Bruges

“If I had grown up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me.  But I didn’t, so it doesn’t.”

Summer TV: 30 Rock, Season 2

“Tracy: Hey, Liz Lemon, I’m going to an animals-only strip club, interested?
Liz: Does that mean the animals strip or the animals are the customers?
Tracy: Animal customers? That’s ridiculous!”
