That's the problem with a lot of monster movies. That most monsters just can't be as scary as the ones you imagine.

It's like when you grow up and watch older horror movies and realize the bad special effects and cheesy costumes.

i saw "Tropic Thunder" a few days ago, and my oh my, i must say that movie was not THAT funny. i really only felt like the parts with tom cruise were funny, it was so odd seeing him play such a comical/ridiculous part. Ben Stiller basically created that movie himself after i saw the credits roll, all i saw were "Ben Stiller." Jack Black's character was flat-out stupid, and Robert Downey Jr. was "decent", but all-in-all, i just didn't think that movie was as comedic as planned to be.

i saw this movie called "Garden Party" last night, and it was a bit hard to follow. there were five central characters, and with each character, came a different problem, or pet-peeve in the movie. things bounced around and you could tell the ideas were quite scattered throughout. i might have to give it another watch just to be able to explain what the movie itself was actually about.

I thought the monsters were actually pretty good. A lot of different ones. It's a shame we never saw the first one again.

My brother and me recognized the typical King parts, where you have some characters speculating what's going on. It was even worse in The Langoliers, where the writer was just guessing and got it right.

Also, I wondered if this was just a random story that King came up with when he was sitting on the toilet.

How was it?

I'd really like to actually hear an opinion on it. I'll probably see it anyway, but I'm curious.

Its fairly comic-booky. being that the dialogue is silly, and the action too. It was fun overall. Has the same visuals as Sin CIty pretty much.

The Spirit is a crazy womainzer

And Samuel L Jackson is obsessed with eggs

I thought he was obsessed with the number 8. Crazy muthafucka, that guy is.

I watched Taxi for the first time last night.

Freakin' hilarious!!

I saw Doubt today. 7.5/10 if I had to say. Merryl Streep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are fantastic as you would expect, and that pretty much makes the film worthwhile.

Seven Pounds... Not Will's best movie... not his worst.

Zack and Miri... fun movie. Gets a lil mushy.

Raging Bull... not that great.

The Usual Suspects... combines two of my favorite movie genres. Though, I had the crook pinned pretty early, but eh.

JCVD. Enjoyable. The direction felt like a mix of Children of Men and the game Resistance. It also had the most annoying scream/yell I've ever heard.
