Yeah, Iron Giant is good. The fantasic voice of Vin Diesel (can that guy's voice get any cooler?) as the Robot.
Excellent.

Today I didn't really do much, and there was a movie on TV called 'Good Burger'. I started watching it out of curiosity, and it was so bad that it was funny Some of the things were plain stupid, and the plot was really lame, but for some reason I found some of it to be so stupid that it became funny. Even though it was a terrible, It just about held my attention hehe

Minority Report The film that only seems like it's 3.5 hours long
I'll admit, it was an interesting concept for a film. The premise of "Pre-Crime" is really cool, I just wish they had a better explanation than "we have a team of psychic idiot-savants hooked up to this computer". The film to which I can draw the most comparisons is Spielberg's other futuristic anti-utopia-esque, AI. Like AI, Minority Report is a quest story with a double-twisting, surprise ending. The first surprise is an important plot twist that I won't reveal. The second is simply this: it's not the end of the movie. The movie keeps going for a few more non-terminal endings until it finally reaches its (ultimately unfulfilling) Coda. The only fun I had during this movie was mocking it and pointing out actors from other movies ("That's Aunt Meg from Twister", "That's the evil, tech guy from Mission: Impossible 2", etc.). Overall, I'd give it three of five stars. A quick note to fellow my Eagle Scout, Stephen Spielberg: a solid effort would have been ideal, you shattered the boundaries overdoing it.
Men In Black II Refresh my memory...Why was Johnny Knoxville in this movie?
What can I say? I'm a big fan of Tommy Lee Jones and a moderately large (say 52nd percentile) Will Smith fan. The first MIB movie had great chemistry between the two main characters. The second movie tried to maintain that great mixture, but was inhibited by Jay's newfound delusions of experience. The jokes were pretty solid, a few were reused from or references to the first film, but not enough to spoil the film. I didn't care for Lara Flynn Boyle or her character very much, but she did have a tough act to follow in Vincent D'onofrio (one of today's best character actors, in my opinion). Strong support was given by Frank the pug, the Worm guys, and Jeebs. The only character whose existence I could not explain was Scrad/Charlie (played by Johnny Knoxville). Even as a toady or stooge he was unremarkable. His character could have been completely eradicated without any loss in the story. I'd give it four and a half out of five stars. It was only slightly outdone by the previous film.
Spider-Man Awk. Mary Jane want a cracker.
It's been a while since I've seen this film, but I'll try to review from what I recall. I liked it. The film followed the "real" story of the genesis of Spider-Man very accurately (minus the web shooters). Initially, I thought the choice of Tobey Maguire to play Peter Parker was a poor decision, but he seemed to fit the part a great deal better than I had hoped. The rest of the cast of characters was also a strong point of the film. Notable cast members include Macho Man Randy Savage as Bonesaw (I kept expecting him to 'Snap into a SlimJim'), Bruce Cambell as the ring announcer (obviously trading his chainsaw and boomstick for a pair of Cyclops' sunglasses), and J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson (a welcome change from his far more hairless role as Dr. Emil Skoda on "Law and Order" ). The only actor/character I truly disliked was Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson. Part of her problem was the dialogue. Many times, she seemed to be repeating Peter's lines. My other problem with Ms Dunst is her appearance. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just don't like the way she looks. In the end, I give this movie four and a half stars out of five. I can't wait to see what villain they use in the next movie (my hope is for Doctor Octopus, but they might want to turn Harry Osborne into the Hobgoblin before that).

posted by drthunder88 (my hope is for Doctor Octopus, but they might want to turn Harry Osborne into the Hobgoblin before that) my guess is they'll be doing both. hobgoblin will be the sub-villian, and someone else (i'm hoping doc ock aswell) will be the major bad guy. really i'm just talking bullshit, but it seems like the most obvious thing to do. batman went to two villians in the sequel, why not spider-man. they left harry osbourne saying he'll get revenge on spider-man, how can they not make him the hobgoblin

I went and saw About A Boy the other day when my mum and sister dragged me to see it. I thought it was a great film. Hugh Grant is brilliant and the rest of the acting is superb. May not be everyone's cup of tea, and the ending was so heartwarming that it livened up the entire film - but may not do a second time I don't know, but still I thoroughly enjoyed it! A- Useless Information time (don't know if I've already said this) Minority Report was based on a book by Philip K Dick, who also wrote the book (Do Androids Dream Of Electronic Sheep?) that Blade Runner was based on.

Men in Black II
Not too bad. Really short (82 minutes). Not a deep movie by any means, and you could tell it was made because they needed to do a sequel, but on the whole, it was a fun little movie that helps pass 82 minutes enjoyably. Several rather funny parts, and a simply hilarious cameo by the King of Pop himself. Worth seeing at least once.
