You might notice a small addition to the movie round-up.  I will now Photoshop an amalgam of the movie posters to accompany the post each week.  Enjoy!
Takers:
You know, part of me watches this trailer and wants to make fun of it. Â Another part of me thinks that the movie might actually be fun and even a bit thrilling. Â When I’m split like this it often means I won’t go to the theater, but I do think I’ll seek this out on video. Â One thing is for sure though, all of me agrees than Hayden Christensen’s hat looks downright silly. Â What the hell were they thinking?
The Last Exercism:
I managed to see a screening of this film a couple weeks ago. Â My opinion of it then, and it hasn’t changed, is that they put together a very nice movie. Â It has tense moments, and the lack of a soundtrack adds to the feel of it… and then they completely blow it in the final scenes of the film. Â I was so dissatisfied with how it ended that it actually made me wish I hadn’t enjoyed the earlier bits. Â Completely not worth the $10 unless you really really really feel the need, but when it hits DVD it’s worth seeing at home. Â Alone. Â With the lights off. Â Did you hear something?
Avatar: Special Edition:
It isn’t really fair to put this here. It’s not a new film, and the 9 extra minutes just makes me want to punch James Cameron in the face, because it’s like when they release a DVD, then later that same year they put out a Special Edition, and then the next year they put out a 2 disc Special Edition. Â Screw you! Â On the other hand, the only way to truly see this film is in 3D on the big screen, so another theatrical run makes sense. Â I’ll probably end up seeing this again. Â I am both a sad and happy panda.
