Scissorhands Schmissorhands.
It was decent.
Diane Wiest was good.

Ed Wood is another one I like.

Big Fish... meh.
Corpse Bride... boooooring.
Planet of the Apes... Yuck!

oh and another I love...

Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

Holy ****, I forgot Ed Wood and Pee-Wee. They are up there with Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice.

I LOVED the Corpse Bride. Yes, I wish the song lyrics were a bit easier to understand, which was my same gripe with Elman's work in Charlie, as well.

Def. agree about Planet and Big Fish.

I actually loved Iron Man, amazing huh?! It's the first super hero movie in a long time that I enjoyed. It wasn't overpowered by CGI, which has started annoying me when they rely on it too heavily. Iron Man had a great mix of everything and the humor was brilliant in spots, predictable in others, but over all a good movie. I'm sure we'll see it again later when Gary gets home.

I'm seeing it tonight. Not very excited about it really, but it's something to do with friends. With my expectations this low it HAS to be good!

With a name like Smuckers...

Chernabog · 05-03-2008, 07:34 PM

Oh, smuck you.

Turns out Lani wanted to see it so we did.

Not mindblowingly great or anything (there have been several better superhero movies in the last 8 years) but perfectly good fluff entertainment.

Surprisingly understated.

I saw it to-day at the Americana at Brand. It was an interesting experience -- the new mall was packed to the gills, which is hard on both me and fish. Just way too many people for my tastes; I started becoming uneasy within moments are getting there. On the other hand the new cinemas are as nice (maybe better?) then the ones at the Arclight -- which is saying something!

So far as my thoughts on Iron Man ... to use the parlance of the day, it was awesome!

It could have used a little more action, something in the mode of Robo-cop, which this film does resemble in a way (or, two), but that is a minor complaint

Forget the new mall or IronMan ...what did you think of the huge mural at the theater??? (My brother-in-law's creation)
