Yeah it's pretty nice. Looks like the Punisher logo.

Just came back from this. Classic Tim Burton, FINALLY. Not his best film but certainly better than Corpse Bride and just under Nightmare.

You can watch the film online. What I did about a month ago. Unless you like films like Paranomal Activity and Blair witch prepare to be bored shitless. It's cheesy as fuck and most the people can't act worth a shit

Just got back from Taken 2. Very poor. I hope Fox aren't trying to make this 'their' big solo-action franchise. Generic, very short (1h 20) and completely unoriginal.

I agree. I didn't expect it to be as good but I didn't want it to be boring either. About 45 mins in it started to get really good then it fell flat again.

Ok, I'm sure I'm late to the party here, but I just rented some Avengers and it was dense. Dense with Awesome! I can't remember the last time I watched a flick with such a high entertainment value. The whole viewing experience was filled with plenty of laughs and "holy Shi-s" that the 2.5 hours blew by in a flash and I'm now hungry for a sequel.

A bottle of red wine and a plate of sushi helped seal the deal. A fun night for sure.

Have you seen the original? How do you grade the remake while comparing to the original?

I barely remember the original. The scene I remember very clearly was the dog getting run over, which is more or less played out the same in the remake.

But when you mentioned it, I decided to watch it in its entirety. Its played out like a classic Disney movie and the soundtrack is VERY noticeable. In the remake its barely noticeable despite the fact its Elfman composing. Have to say, the short feels like it has more heart to it because it sticks closer to the original Frankenstein story. In the remake, they kind of threw the mythos in there at the last second because there are too many other things going on.

All in all, the short is better because it evokes more emotion. The remake is still great to look at and they do clever things at times (plus the figurines look like the characters in Burton's Vincent and Stain Boy, which is a definite plus).

End of Watch.

That was a good film. The two leads were hilarious which helped made me give a damn about the intense situations. Not sure about the style they filmed it. It's like they had no idea whether to make this as a traditional narrative or "found footage", so they kinda blended the two hoping it would work out (I didn't think it did). But the script and performances were great. Worth watching.

Prometheus and the deleted stuff.

They should have kept the original version of the Engineer's attack in. So much better.

I liked it. Wasn't a fan of the animation style and they didn't delve very deep into the main themes. However, the action was good enough to make up for it.
