Decent 'Marvel Comics'  film......good action and effects.

Really? I had to put down 3 beers just to sit through this one... I was considering leaving the theater.

Yeah, I have been. Though those are the only ones I've seen so far. Looking forward to watching more.

^ i don't know if it gets much better than Fargo and No Country--  I mean Barton Fink and Raising Arizona are fine when you're young but they don't hold up like the other two.

The Guard is a great black comedy/action flick, one of the funniest comedies I've watched recently.

The Prisoners

Starts as a terrific thriller, but its final 30 minutes spoiled it a bit. I really liked it when it stepped into a bit Lynchian psychic enigma territory, but its resolution comes too abruptly and places each puzzle onto it's place way too long before the movie's end.

They don't serve beer at my theater....must be a Texas thing.
LOL
 
I thought it was ok for a comic book film.......; also saw Iron Man 3 yesterday....now that I was disappointed in even though they gave it 3 stars. Downey is always fun to watch but the villain and other actors were really mediocre.

Frankenstein: The True Story (1973) - not sure what makes this a "true story", but its another interesting and radically different interpretation/telling of the Frankenstein story, when the monster is birthed he looks normal and is innocent and childlike, something went wrong in the process of course and he eventually starts to rot and become "ugly" looking while still remaining innocent and childlike, but of course everyone starts treating him like sh*t because of how he looks on the outside and his father abandons him, thus his ill treatment by society eventually turns towards revenge, a few other big side plots and characters added, this is a 3 hr movie btw, some definite filler for sure but over all I enjoyed it, considering I'm always on the hunt for unique Frankenstein movies - 7.5/10
*an extra half point for a few really good gory/gross-out moments!

^ Maybe it is a true story, only the monster was a figurative one.

I remember that, it was a British TV movie and aired in the States a few years later.

Gotta disagree, that's when the plot begins, otherwise it's just Snake running around Manhattan.  The Thing may be a better film technically but I love EFNY, the trashy piece of pulp.

Pompeii

By-the-numbers period action with just enough heart to avoid disaster, this summer product doesn't live up to a Noah or even a Troy but may distract on a dull Saturday night enough to lose two hours you'll never get back.

Jodorowsky's Dune

Undeniably one of the great untold stories in sci-fi cinema, director Alejandro Jodorowski's Dune was gonna be a spectacle like no other; "It would've changed zee world! " Jodorowsky reminds us frequently,"...a film that would show zee audience a new way of seeing!", he gleams.   And it was well on its way to being just that with dudes like Moebius and Pink Floyd on board.   But whether the timing was wrong or everyone was just too stoned to actually do anything, the vision was never realized, we were left with 3,000 storyboarded drawings, and an enthusiastic if grizzled Jodorowsky lamenting what could've been.   A documentary that is both sad and illuminating, and a reminder of a time when the world had greater limitations.

I'll just keep this short.  My all time favorite sci-fi movie.

Bad Words

Surprisingly funny irreverence about a forty year-old guy who's found a loophole in Spelling Bee rules and starts competing nationally.   Jason Bateman directs and stars.

Bronson

Chameleon Tom Hardy portrays "Britain's Most Violent Prisoner" Michael Peterson (aka Charles Bronson) as he's bumped from jail to nut-house to criminal asylum leaving a trail of bruised and bloodied guards, inmates and prison staff in his wake.   Stylized and progressively strange, Bronson is a dark movie about a dark life with the eminently gifted Hardy overdoing it on occasion and the film more nightmarish delusion than biopic.   Rather good though, and earns points for lines like "You just pissed on a gypsy in the middle of f*cking nowhere-- hardly the hottest ticket in town".
