The Green Hornet was alright. The fight scenes were enjoyable. We watched it in 3D because it was the closest showtime and we had free passes. The 3D was underwhelming and as I thought before, the movie didn't need to be in 3D like many movies are being made that way.
What really got me was the trailer for Sucker Punch. I know there is a lot of buzz on the internet about it, and I never really looked into it or try to see what it's about. I probably won't see it on the big screen, but only check it on on DVD or something. The premise looks awesome. Jeremy and k pretty and dolled up.
As for another preview for Fast Five. I totally want to see that. It's a popcorn flick. Just seeing them all together and witI have decided it's basically a live action anime done by an American director. I just couldn't get past the fact that all the girls in the so-called asylum were all done up with gorgeous hair and makeup. Ugh. At least be somewhat realistic and have them look normal, but when they are in their imaginary world fighting off bad guys, have them looh Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, I will not be disappointed.

It's a Zack Snyder flick. The only person who stylizes more (and doesn't even do it as well) is Michael Bay.
I know, but it could have been cooler if they weren't so dolled up. Alas, it's just fap material for the young horny boys.
I also have a thing against blonde female actresses. I'm rarely impressed by them. Well there is Chloe Moretz who plays Hit Girl in Kick-Ass, but I really can't think of any other blondes that I've enjoyed in most films. I'm biased.
I enjoyed the movie (because I set my expectations low) but I wouldn't say it was good or anything to get excited about.
Doesn't that mean you liked it? You said "I don't know why people like it." Liking a movie and thinking that movie was good are two very different things.
EDIT: I too agree about the movie. It wasn't good, but it was good enough. Despite its lack of goodness, I enjoyed it a lot.

No, I enjoyed the movie for what it was but did not like it for what it could have been.
I liked Tron for (some of) its visuals, but Emily is right. Young Flynn had very little going for him. He was petulant and uncharismatic. His personality wasn't nearly as interesting as those of a couple of the more... flamboyant... programs.
Just finished "Once Upon a Time in the West". I have to admit that I've never really been a big fan of westerns and I'm not very well versed in the genre, so take from what I'll say what you will.
Anyway, the movie is very slow moving. Reading from wiki, this is very intentional, but at times it seems to stretch to the point of breaking. Lots of people staring at each other, lots of close-up shots, but not really any meaningless scenes. However, I was really amazed with the visuals and the very thematic soundtrack the film uses. I find it just very unfortunate that the visual that pretty much everybody who hasn't lived under a rock since the movie was released knows, no matter whether the person has seen the movie or not, is basically a very crucial spoiler to the story and gives away one of the main motivations of the movie, which is supposed to be shrouded for almost the entirety of the movie.
Finally, a small personal opinion, I think the german name of the movie "Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod" (Play the Song of Death for me) is a lot cooler than the original or english title.
Black Swanis halfway between Princess Tutu and Perfect Blue, just as everyone said. Thoroughly enjoyable.
That makes me want to see Tutu more. The parts of the movie that made me freak out the most was when the painting really subtly moves to look at her, then when it happens again with all the paintings screaming. I also really enjoyed the climax with the transformation..
Friday night is Cajun Night at my friend's house, with a Hausu/Black Dynamite double feature, with a possibility of a triple feature with Ebola Syndrome. I'm cooking up 10qt of Jambalaya and a 12" skillet of cornbread for the occasion.
I might even rebrand some Mickey's forties as Anaconda malt liquor and put them in an ice bucket for dinner. It makes you Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

The movie was fine. Your taste in movies is wrong. But we already knew that. :P

The Exam was surprisingly entertaining. It's a They Were Eleven sort of thing with a 12 Angry Men twist. The guard in the room gets mad acting points.

Props to Sail for the suggestion of Hausu.
