About to catch my ride home for the holidays...thought I'd post some quick comments on several movies I bougth/rented recently...all on BluRay
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - Never before have I seen a plot so poorly considered, dialogue so cheesy, yet special effects and polish so compelling that I couldn't turn away....this was terrible...worse than The Scorpion King, but it had its wow.
C-
Step Brothers: This was just never funny at any point. I liked it when comedies used to try.
F
The Incredible Hulk: Wow, wasn't expecting much but Ed Norton made me care about the Hulk again...this was how it should have been done a few years ago. I'm going to buy this now....it was great on BluRay...7.1 Rules!!!
B (but A- for me cause I'm a sucker for Marvel)
The Assassination of Jesse James by that Guy Rob Something - This was pretty good actually, not great, but I don't remember hearing about it going to the Theater. You could spend 2 hrs and change doing much worse. Solid Rental in the American folk/history/legend genre...Pitt ain't bad when he puts his mind to something.
B+
Crank - WTF? Seriously. This was retarded.
F
Hancock:: Geez, you'd think Will Smith was a communist or something by the way they trashed this movie in the summer. It was predictable, a bit silly at times, but a decent enough pop corn muncher that's worth a gander
B
The Invasion: Is it just me or does Nicole Kidman look more or less the same every freakin' movie? She doesn't age. She's not human. The movie...meh, decent sci-fi stuff M. Night Syamalan wishes he could still pull off.
B-
Gotta say, most BluRays I've been watching have the higher bitrate Dolby or DTS in 7.1 and it makes a big difference over matrixing (is that a word) the 5.1 track like you have to with most DVD's...
Up next...Season 4 of Lost...
