This is 40: Eh. Could have been funnier. Really had no point.
Oblivion: Decent movie. Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, but it was still pretty decent. Also watched "Moon" after Oblivion. Oblivion stole a BIG chunk out of that movie.

I'm really looking forward to Elysium, its from the guy who did District 9 which i didnt like, but this story looks like one i can dig, and Matt Damon doesnt do mindless action.
Believe it or not, the directors first choice for the lead was, wait for it... Eminem! can you believe that? I mean yeah, he was surprisingly decent playing himself in 8 Mile, but to cast him as the lead in a brainy actioner? Its hard to imagine. |

I agree he was great in 8 mile. He's "typecast" without hardy acting at all. |

Maybe if he's been taking some serious acting classes, i could entertain that idea... just seems like an odd choice, i think he made the right call with Damon. I agree with what i think you mean about being typecast, he'd have to really grow his acting chops to keep most people from thinking "hey, thats eminem", instead of just buying into what he's doing as an actor. |

Very similar to this guy named Tom Shadyac, he directed Bruce Almighty and Liar Liar among other films and living the lifestyle of the rich and famous. After suffering an accident he looked in the mirror and decided what is life about? A question for the ages you could say, he then sold his 17,000 foot LA mansion, gave away most of his fortune and is currently living in a trailer park. He has a documentary movie called I Am about his personal addiction to materialism. |

Just watched Only God Forgives (Nicolas Winding Refn). With the reviews I had lowish expectations even though I loved Drive. It ended up being pretty damn good but I can see why it didn't work for many. Brutal and highly stylistic.

he is....hands down....my favorite super hero. (Thing & Hulk round out my top 3) as a Michigan fan....it just fits. so I couldn't WAIT to see this. I just thought it would be so much more than it is.
gotta say it's not a bad movie though....I just thought this was gonna be my shizzle.

Seems like there's an oversaturation of super hero movies, really.
