Seems like a super fun take on an origin story. Trailer was very entertaining and the WETA apes actually look pretty great.

No matter what the content or quality of the movie, it will end up being nothing more than a catalyst for more tiresome soundbytery about free markets, tea parties, blah blah blah blah

And that rating is based in 5000+ user ratings. I doubt that 5000 people in the world have seen it yet, let alone 5000 Rotten Tomato users.

Wow, and I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Kick Ass. Does that mean I would likely not like Super?


Oh, and I'll be seeing Atlas Shrugged, if only via Netflix later. It's one of the first novels I ever read, and I'm just too curious to pass it up entirely.

We are permanently behind on our movie watching - and choosy to boot. Netflix brought us A Single Man today, which we watched tonight. The film was beautiful beyond belief. One of the most stunning films I've ever seen that isn't made up of sweeping vistas and lush greenery. The story was powerful, the acting brilliant, the focused shots and the color faded added so much to the feel of the picture. I really loved everything about it except the melancholy mood it has put me in.

I just finished watching this movie and came straight here

I agree with all of your sentiments NA but the ending confused me a little. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

I rather liked The Conspirator. It was presented in a rather staid, old-school film style - but I found that perfectly appropriate to an historical piece about the aftermath of the Lincoln assassination. It's a bit of history I was personally ignorant of, and the two lead performances were excellent - so I really enjoyed it.

Also, having experienced the eerie movie-release timing of The China Syndrome to the Three Mile Island events several decades ago, I had a strange sense of deja-vu - since just this week it was announced that plans had been scuttled to hold civil trials for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and 4 other 9/11 plotters, and instead subject them to "military tribunals."

Redford made no bones about comparing the injustice of the assassination plotters' trial to current events - but unless he was making up American history out of whole cloth, I found the comparisons pretty apt - and the timing could not have been much better.
