It was...surprisingly good.

It was from the writer of Stranger Than Fiction, so it had that same sort of feel-good vibe.

The Incredible Hulk - It was alright, I guess. I like Edward Norton, but I wasn't sure whether or not Bruce Banner was the right role for him. Well, he was very happy to prove me wrong. Nonetheless, him and Liv Tyler have next to zero chemistry, and there are certain parts of the film that left me thinking, 'did that just happen?' C+

Batman Begins - Fantastic movie, and although in many ways different, I think it may surpass The Dark Knight. All of the cast is rock solid, with the exception of Ms. Holmes, who was only half-decent. A-

Oceans 13 - I never bothered to finish 12 because I found it so boring, so I found bits of this one confusing. Nevertheless, it's still fun to watch, although not quite as fun as the first outing. I'm not much of a Matt Damon fan, but I think Linus Caldwell is by far my favorite character in the entire series. B-

10 Things I Hate About You - A teen movie with a strong script, good performances, and inspiration from Shakespeare? I call that a win. One of my favorites. B+

Infernal Affairs

A Hong Kong thriller that was eventually remade into The Departed. In many ways, this one is superior.

It was alright. Wouldn't pay to see it, but it's worth watching if it's on TV i guess.

Totally agree with your feelings on Batman. Perhaps not so much on The Incredible Hulk, but I compared it against the first one. :\ Laaaame.

Last movie was The Blindside.

It was OK. I'm not a fan of movies of it's type, but I'm thankful for the realistic portrayal of this area. And the South in general.

A good bit of Sherlock Holmes. Honestly? I thought it was terrible. I kept falling asleep, I couldn't understand half of what Downey Jr. was saying because he mumbled all the time, and the plot was little to non-existent. I finally ended up just leaving the room. That's all besides the fact that I wouldn't really consider it a Sherlock Holmes film. Nope. No sirree.

Also, I'm going to see Iron Man 2 this morning. Be jealous.

Well, if you kept falling asleep, that's why you couldn't understand the plot. My family is pretty well versed in Holmes, and all of us considered it very true to the stories.

I loved Sherlock Holmes. They took liberties here and there, but they were good liberties.

Gonna have to agree. I really liked it.


Iron Man

I think a re-review is in order.

Let me just say that I sincerely enjoyed this movie more than the first time I saw it. It still has weaknesses, but it's also really good.

I eagerly await this Friday when I go see Iron Man 2.

I understood the plot perfectly; I couldn't understand what Holmes was saying.

As far as faithfulness goes, the character of Holmes himself was relatively faithful, but I was hoping for a little more..mystery.

I still hold to my opinion.

Iron Man 2 - A pretty fun action ride; at least as good as the first one [despite my semi-tepid reaction toward it.] And man, what a cast. Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke both are fantastic, and the Avengers anticipatory hints come left and right. It has a few weak spots, but overall, a well made blockbuster. B-
