Any one seen Sky Captain? From what I have seen, great looking movie, bad story.

Saw it when it first came out. It's not the best story ever made, but I wouldn't call it a bad one. May have to watch it a couple of times to get all of teh nuances of the story. As far as special effects, looks pretty darn good. Almost everything, including the "sets", are computer generated. This may be the way of the future, because it might be cheaper that way than to build huge expensive sets you'll only see a few minutes of in a film. The only thing I didn't like was Gwyneth Paltrow's acting. But I would highly recommend go see this movie before it comes out on dvd.

Has anyone seen Walking Tall yet? You know, the one with The Rock. I didn't really notice it the first time I saw it, but since buying the dvd Last week, I've seen it a couple of times (my 3 year old son chose this movie over Home on the Range). Anyway, for those who saw it, I have a question. How can the Rock go into the sheriff's office one in one scene and see a fully staffed office with both sheriff's personnel and civilian employees, and later on in the movie go in that same office after he fires the deputies, and there's no one around? He was the right to fire the deputies, but I can't believe in a job-strapped community, that all of the civilians would walk out. Even the Rock's character wouldn't have fired them. Just a curiosity I noticed and there's no explanation for it in the film.

I've seen Shark Tale twice now, once with my son and once with my nephew. It's a great movie. Even though it's made by Dreamworks, it's not quite on the par with Shrek, but it's still pretty good. I highly recommend you see it, especially if there's a young one in your family. And speaking of that, I know where I'll be next Friday night. that's when The Incredibles comes out. Looks like it will another great movie from Pixar.

Not a recent movie but i saw The Recruit the other day and I must say it was a very good film, I would say that considering it had Al Pacino in but i'd advise you to check it out

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" by Michael Gondry.
Very good film, but not for the masses, they'll probably find it boring. Very realistic characters and good story. Story of love and parting. And return.

Yeah, that movie was quite excellent. I like all those films written by Charlie Kauffman, i.e. Being John Malkovich and Adaptation.

I just came home from watching ELEKTRA.

*** WARNING SPOILERS ***
Pretty good action movie - a lot better than Dare Devil was. Jennifer Garner is very pretty and fights well, too! Some interesting villains with supernatural powers, though they turn out to be not so tough as they first initially seem. Elektra died at the end of the movie Dare Devil, but it turns out that her blind martial arts master, Stick, used his magic powers to bring her back to life. Besides teaching her fighting skills, he also taught her a meditation technique to see the future, which she uses a lot to locate enemies and anticipate attacks. Some short but good fight scenes. The best thing about this movie the beautiful main character.

Cool, Thanks.

Blade 3 was pretty good too.

The Aviator

My friend tricked me into going to see this movie with him. I usually don't go see movies with Leonardo diCaprio in them, but this time I knew nothing about this movie until it was too late and I so I didn't know he was in it.

Some parts of the movie were boring, but some parts were pretty good, like the flying scenes. Leonardo wasn't as bad as I expected and he was OK for the most part. He's very good at doing those scenes with the obsessive and strange behaviors. The movie ended kind of unexpectedly and suddenly at a point where it seemed like there was going to be more.

Ong-bak: The Thai Warrior

I saw this movie today. Wow! If you like martial arts movies, DEFINITELY go see this movie. I would say this movie is one of the top ten martial arts movies I have ever seen. Tony Jaa is Ting, the hero of the movie, the Muay Thai fighter, and he is GOOD. Excellent fight scenes. He is incredibly skilled: fast, acrobatic, powerful. Very very impressive. I'm sure Jaa will go on to make many more successful martial arts movies.
