Damn i didn't see that bit with Deadpool, i found it really strange Ryan Reynolds was majorly under used in Wolverine, he's a quality underrated actor...serves me right for leaving when the credits started.

Anyone seen that new movie out that has the same makers as Old School? Looks hilarious...that bit with Mike Tyson, ha.

"I be back", T4, flopped in the box office big time this past weekend. T4 started screening on midnight of Thursday. The maker of T4 thought by jumping a day ahead of other new movies released last Friday should help this movie to gro$$ more profit over the Memorial weekend. Well, that's not the case this time  :D T4 got shook up quite badly by the comedy one, Night @ the Museum.

I saw T4 on the first day of its official release & this "T" was never like the previous T's. Mr. C. Bale, looks better in the dark bat suit than in the torn up rebel costume.

I found Terminator to be entertaining and that's what I want when I see a movie. 

14-18 year olds run the movie business.  If they want to watch Museum that's what will win every time.  Hence Mall cop and Monsters Vs Aliens being two of the biggest movies this year.  The 4 day totals for Terminator and Museum are only off by 3 million and I was surprised to read that NOTM2 had a budget of 150 million. 

Of course it was going to be different, it's past Judgement Day, I expect the next 2 will be very different again.  It's a war movie now.  I'd say it was the second best Terminator movie out of the 4.  I'd rate it T2, T4, T1, T3.

I'm seeing it Friday, the action sequences look worth it.

I saw Angels and Demons last week *YAWN* but before that started the trailers where on and I saw some clips of the new Transformers movie...WOW, cannot wait.

I just got back from a screening of The Hangover. I had incredibly low expectations, in fact, I almost turned down the free ticket because it looked so bad, but I have to say, it was hilarious. I laughed through pretty much the entire thing, and there wasn't really any sappy buddy-comedy type stuff. I fully recommend it. Zach Galafanakis, you rube.

I'm hearing good things everywhere I read about this movie, I'll check it out when it comes out on DVD I think.

Terminator4 was great i thought, the only thing that was a let down was that the guy who directed it also directed Charlies Angels and the actual Terminators where to human like in their movements...Terminator1 Arnie was a great Robot's Robot.

Also the Terminators during fights scene's where beaten easily..which annoyed me.

My friend told me why James Cameron hasn't had a movie out in so long, sounds like he's doing some incredible work.

He has a film called Avatar coming out later this year. It is made specifically for 3D, so even if the movie sucks, should be an awesome IMAX experience. Rumor has it, this will be the most expesensive film ever made. Only thing that concers me, not one preview of the movie has come out yet. The movie has been really been kept quiet.

I believe that we are getting a preview for Avatar in front of Transformers...It doesn't come out until December, so it isn't a big deal that there is no trailer.  I personally don't like seeing trailers for a movie that's like 10-12 months away...

That's good to hear. There is little hype for this movie so far, a teaser infront of Transformers should change that.


Just finised watching Taken. Just an all around solid action flick. Too bad we don't get more of these anymore. Seems the only action films that do well now are Block Busters, glad to see Taken broke that mold. Still made a good chunck of change, despite being leaked months early online.

Most reviews say he was the only good thing from that film.

I loved that movie too, even though some of the acting from the secondary characters(especially the priest) was embarrassing.
I'd rather have a sister in a whorehouse than a brother who's a Yankees fan.

A couple movies ive seen of late and my two cents on them:

Hangover: Absolutely hilarious, Up there with Dumb and Dumber, Austin Powers 1 and Happy Gilmore as funniest movies i have seen.

T4: OK, I have lots of unanswered questions coming out of it but a good action film.

StarTrek: As has been mentioned, not a Trekie by anymean but I thought i was a great film. Huge JJ Abrams Fan.

Abit older now but I though role models was also hilarious. Gran Torino and Taken definatly movies i want to own.
