war of the worlds

Ichi Episode 0

A real let-down because I liked Ichi the Killer and Ichi 1. Animation left a lot to be desired as did the plot. Wouldn't really suggest anybody seek it out.

Exorcist: The Beginning

Meh, it wasnt terrible. Better than I was led to believe, but not great by any means. Worth watching I suppose, but dont expect alot.

Badder Santa

The original King Kong:

Some pretty impressive effects for the time. Have to check out the remake at some point.... heard good and bad things about it but wanted to watch the original before I made any judgment.

North By Northwest

Fantastic film! I really dig it. Great soundtrack too.

Superman Returns

not bad at all .. i was expecting far worse but i enjoyed it.
It was very true to the 1st superman film which i think was a good choice.

The Adventures of Baron Munchousin (sp)

An incredible adventure film, if only Brothers Grimm could have been half this good.

I agree on the authentic feel, and the more or less direct "sequel" thing it had happening...but I didn't think it was all that...I didn't dislike it, I just don't think it's one I'll be adding to my collection.
Saw it this morning...it was ok, and I think Bryan Singer did a great job at replicating the "feel" and look of the older films, made it seem very much like another sequel, the musical scoring was updated but along the same lines and well done also...The action sequences looked great, but something left me overall not that impressed...I think the direction was fine, the storyline/script just wasn't all that...and the film was pretty drawm out over near 3 hours too.
Also, they completely murdered Lois Lane...her personality is totally different, not the funny, strong independant chick that the previous movies and comics have built her up into...the new one just seemed plastic.
The guy playing superman was "ok", but I think Spacey is the only one that did shit for this movie...played the part, as he does, without flaw. See it if you're a superman fan, if not, catch it on dvd.

Fucking great film...storyline, the cast, comedy, music, the sets...not much to complain about with a film like this...
