max payne 7/10

[Frolsa84]

Get Smart 6/10

[J3richo]

Transporter 3 7/10

[IdolEyes787]

Bedtime Stories 1/10

It's not even worth my reviewing so I just copied and pasted this

Personally, I reckon the whole sorry shebang should be despatched with a large shovel and limed over right quick.

If Adam Sandler had died I would have given it an 8.
If Rob Schneider had also died I would lobby for an Oscar.

Iron-Man

batman the dark knight 9/10

[clocker]

Went on a binge the last few days...

The Dark Knight and Iron Man (saw both in theaters when released).
Both movies held up well watching them at home but Iron Man was the better of the two.
The Dark Knight- which I originally saw in IMAX- seemed too dark and muddy on my 20" monitor, and was also about 20 minutes too long.
Heath Ledger gave the performance of the year.
I thought Robert Downey, Jr. was perfect and even Gwyneth was fine as Pepper Potts, don't see where all the hate is coming from.

Carried on with RDJ in Tropic Thunder which seemed funnier in concept than execution.
The Tom Cruise cameo was brilliant, even though I knew he was in there, it was still a total surprise.

Last up was Wanted...brilliantly made nonsense.
If you're going to make an "action" movie, the action sequences better be good- these were.
Angelina Jolie is the queen of the genre, no one else comes close.
I was tempted to pause the film and make popcorn- my ultimate tribute to a good action flick.

Next in queue are Wall-e, Let the Right One In and The Ruins.
I've read The Ruins and just hope I can stomach the gore I know is coming.

Just a couple comments.
People who can't see the brilliance in Heath Ledger's Joker fail to see that's it's all in the details.

I thought I'd like Wanted but I didn't.
I don't know if James McAvoy's character wasn't sympathetic enough or if it his character arc was just too much of a leap.
Maybe I just don't like the whole idea of the (a)morality of a group of assassins killing for the greater good.
Whatever it was it left me cold.
Btw agree Jolie's by far the best thing about the movie even more so than the FXs.

Can't wait to see Downey in Sherlock Holmes.Besides being a fan of the boy from 221b Baker Street I think with Guy Richie at the helm it has a chance to be brilliant.
Or not but it won't be sleep inducing.

Indeed.
His walk down the street in the nurse's uniform kills me.

There were characters and a storyline?
I'll have to watch it again to find them.

I hope that Morgan Freeman made a buttload of cash- and I assume that he did- because he has become a real shortcut for scriptwriters. You needn't develop a character if you can just plug MF into the story and let him be his iconic self.
He is quickly becoming a parody of himself, much like Pacino and DeNiro.

He has a tough row to hoe displacing Jeremy Brett from my imagination but I'm willing to make the effort.

Edit:
OK, this is weird.
Just watched Wall-e and Let The Right One In back to back and was struck by the similarities.
Nebbishy male falls for strong female, complications ensue and boy saves the day.
Wall-e was cute and impeccably rendered (of course, it's Pixar, what do you expect?) but LTROI was more striking and original.
These days it's hard to find a new angle for a vampire story but the Swedes found one.
