Man-Thing

I was a bit worried after hearing alot of bad things about it, but I ended up really enjoying it. The actors are surprisingly good for this kind of movie, and the same can be said for the effects. The "Man-Thing" itself looked phenominal.

I actually liked this alot more than the first Swamp Thing. It's just about on par with the second though, IMO.

PS- The one major thing wrong with it was the plot, which made no sence at all in places. Just thought I should add that.

Total Recall. Good Paul Veerhoven fun. The screenplay is goofy as hell, but I love it anyway. It still hurts to think Schwarzie is our governor, though. I guess it could have been worse....Gary Coleman ran for the office too.

I love total recall...one of his most enjoyable films IMO...I agree...the plot was pretty ridiculous, but...it was sci-fi and all.
I imitate (that arnie thing that pretty much all guys do) from this film most of all.

Just saw an Australian made Korean short film called "Birthday Boy", very short, and ultimately kinda sad...but very nice to look at.

"Pulse"

Not a bad movie, but not great either. kind of a modern "B" movie. I've never seen the original Japenese film so I don't know if it's better or worse, but it was a decent film.

....

Relatively true to the series. I am a big fan of Charlize Theron. She is one o fthose rare cases where she is not only a knockout, she has some serious acting ability too. But not even she could save it. It was confusing, meandering, way too in love with itself. The action was amazingly bland. WAY too much style over substance, but it tried really hard to have substance, and the end was just retarded.

to quote my wife: "I could have taken a vicoden and gone sleep when you got home, instead i stayed up and watched THIS.
