So i just watched some movies..here ya go

Total Recall- great action scenes and a good story line, but nothing too special imo

The Amazing Spiderman- I really liked it, althought i wouldnt say it was as good as the other ones. I really like when they go back to the begining of a story, ie batman begins, i thought it was interesting and some very cool fight scenes. This peter parker was completely different than the others, different dimeanor. If you like the others, id watch it

Rudy- never gets old watching a true story


Isnt stringer bell from the Wire?

Prometheus. I loved it. It certainly could have been better, but it was still awesome.

I saw so many things in that movie that connected it to the Alien(s) franchise.

The thing with Prometheus, it could have been made to be an incredible movie. It was good but not great.

I want to see Les Miserables. I saw the trailer yesterday and man was it powerful. I didn't know Anne Hathaway was such a good singer. Movie looks like its going to be really good. Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe should do well together

He's being considered to take on the role of James Bond after Daniel Craig's contract expires! He's certainly a capable actor and is well versed in action scripts, having played the eponymous drug lord in "The Wire."

Went to an advanced screening of Skyfall! The movie definitely lives up to the hype! Without giving away spoilers, I'll tell you that the movie explores the issue of the clash before the old and the new, the past and the future, human intelligence ad IT. I can't recommend this movie enough, whether you're a Bond fan, or just a casual moviegoer! Lots of action and social commentary.

I saw Wreck-It Ralph the other day and it lived up to my expectations. I will say that you'll enjoy the video game references in the beginning but they do go away and instead you get a good original story. I wasn't expecting a twist that happened in it. Also it's appropriate for the kids.

Just be warned, if you sit through the credits, you WILL get the J-Pop song for Sugar Rush stuck in your head

Went and saw Wreck It Ralph as I am a sucker for those cartoon Pixar films and Flight with Denzel Washington! Latter movie was kind of rough with language and being an R rated film. But he is an awesome actor!

Parts of 3 made no sense, why was Peter Parker a jazz dancer?

What the [veiled profanity]? Max Brooks' zombies are stupid and slow. Ugh. The book wasnt an action book either, it was first person accounts from around the world. How could they screw it up so bad??!!??

I don't think people will care enough to not watch it, just like the Walking Dead purists still watch the show. The swarm mentality is an interesting take, slow walking zombies have been done to death.

I agree people will still watch it, but I was hoping for something even remotely close to the book. This looks nothing like it. I'm honestly suprised Max Brooks sold out like that.

I don't mind fast moving zombies, but those looked like they were moving around faster than a human body could possibly go. Looked stupid IMHO.
