The City of the Dead. Starring a younger Christopher Lee, who does a fair American accent:

For me it was "Clash of the Titans", in pseudo-3D. Not worth the money. Nice effects, but no real 3D (far from Avatar or Alice), and to many crappy "Disney-Moments". Plus really bad dialog, actors who didn't really give it their best, and a storyline that was boring at best. And there wasn't even enough action to satisfy me...

I agree. I saw it last week and I felt the same, it was definitely not worth the paying the extra for 3D. We keep seeing the Shred advert, now that looks real. And the storyline was silly. Those scorpions walking through the desert, they could've moved faster on foot. The bit with Medusa's head at the end, it was like an afterthought "of yes, I forgot the head."

What's the next best thing coming to the movies, Ironman2 I hear is not that great.

Inception. And for us, there are two big films coming this summer, Kites and Raavan!

It sounds like Minority Report and Vanilla Sky.

Iron Man 2 wasn't too bad. It was typical of the vacuous, special effects laden tat that Holly wood thinks makes a good film, but it was a good piece of vacuous tat. Stilted in parts and most of the characters are two dimensional, but Robert Downey Jr. brings an enjoyment to the film a lifts it from The Clash of the Titans pit of dismal crap.

What's the next best thing coming to the movies,

How about Robin Hood? Looks freaking amazing so far, plus it's directed by Ridley Scott, and features Russel Crowe. Talk about "Gladiator" in a different setting (which would be totally fine, imo).

Oh, and "The expendables". Sounds just like the craziest, drunkest film ever, but with so many... let's say... "great" actors, it just has to be good. (Stallone, Statham, Li, Lundgren, Willis, Schwarzenegger...) And for some reasons there seem to be some pirates involved, says imdb. Well, that's always a good thing, I guess..

I seen 'Iron Man 2' today. Really good film I thought, good effects, good acting by the cast plus Scarlett Johansson looked hot in that 'Black Widow' outfit (that Ryan Reynolds is one lucky bastard ). I saw 'Clash of the Titans' two week ago and I enjoyed that film as well, sure the script was dodgy along with the acting but the effects was good, not to mention that it is getting a sequel so I guess there is lots of people who like it just most don't have the guts to admit it.
But hey every film (even the ones that many people think are crap) has a fan base since there is no film that everyone loves and there is no film that everyone hates. The thing is with me when it comes to films is that I never let trailers fool me even if it is a film I want to see so I never have high hopes for a film which in turn I enjoy the film . Also I never compare sequels, prequels, spin offs, remakes, reboots as well so if I was a movie critic I may be the only to do that I think.

I watched The Emperor's New Groove with my kids.

I thought Johansson's character was rather pointless. Her fight scene would have been good if the framerate wasn't complete shit.

And how do you pronounce her name anyway? I always assumed the 'J' made a 'Y' sound but everyone seems to pronounce it the way it's spelled.

I'm with you: YO-hanssen.

I love that movie. Sure, it's a cheesy romantic comedy, but it doesn't pretend to be otherwise.

I also like how the geek gets the girl.

Vivre Sa Vie. It is impossible to say enough good things about this film. Plus, I still have that damned song from the dancing scene stuck in my head.

I last watched Iron Man 2.

The only thing I am allowed to say about it is, I'm Tony Stark and my ego only just leaves room for the cinema patrons.
Also Samuel L Jackson with an eye patch... People probably already know the appropriate memetic response.

We watched Avatar last night. Amazing! The storyline's typical hollywood, but the graphics and the details are mind blowing! I want to watch it again already!

Lol, I love how you cover the spoiler, as if anyone couldn't work that out just by looking at the cover.

Wait a minute, that's the guy from "That 70's Show". I didn't know he was still around. Last time I saw him, he was killed by Spiderman.

Soo looking forward to that.

Swords, bows and Russel Crowe. It's bound to be a good popcorn movie, really.
