40Cent @ the movies

OH!  They showed previews for the next Thor movie, out in November of this year;

Star Trek Into Darkness: Solid sequel. Not as good as the last one though. No real surprises. Should have made better use of McCoy, Chekov and Sulu. Especially McCoy, Karl Urban owns that role now.

34/40

I agree about Karl Urban. Quinto aces the Spock role, but Urban as McCoy was the most pleasant surprise of the first movie. Overall, brilliant casting choices.

I'm on the Karl Urban bandwagon too!  He was great in "Red" as well.

Watched "Mama" last night on Amazon. Pretty damn good if you like actual horror movies and don't confuse good horror with copious amounts of gore substituting for plot. Decent acting and quite a few scares and I didn't quite anticipate the ending I got. Worth watching.

The trailer for Mama looked pretty scary!

What mirth said, mostly.  I liked it, and liked the twist on the old story. I'm looking forward to many years from this franchise.

One of the better reviews I've read for Star Trek Into Darkness. Captures the strengths and weaknesses well. Very little in the way of spoilers for those who haven't seen it.

Saw Epic with the family this evening.  It was a decent enough kids action cartoon.  It had it's moments, but nothing overly noteworthy or bad.

Saw Hangover III and, IMHO, it's no better than Hangover II.

I loved the first Hangover, I really did.  But this new one is as much a waste of time as the 2nd one.

Saw After Earth last night.  Quite possibly the worst movie scifi I've seen ever (I never saw Battlefield Earth).  I walked away trying to figure out what the point was.  However since it was so bad and I saw it with friends it made for a fun evening.

Saw Man of Steel tonight.  Wowee, best Superman EVAH!!  The scenes on Krypton made me wish that I'd gone to the IMAX.  Truly epic.

Although there was no gore and no swearing beyond "ass", this was an intense film at times.  There was widespread death and destruction at the hands of General Zod and his troops.  The story strayed at bit from the canon (without too much spoiler, Clark Kent [pre-Daily Planet] spends some time in Canada, and there are some shameless Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale product placements... something that I never thought that I'd see in a Hollywood blockbuster) but it didn't annoy me in the slightest.  Instead I was almost totally entertained.  Sure there were issues, but overall I would call this one a must see.

Just watched The African Queen...slightly dated and cheesy but I like Humphrey Bogart.

[MetalDog]

I just watched Platoon and The Lost Boys.  I had forgotten Johnny Depp was in Platoon and that Jami Gertz was in The Lost Boys.  Bill S. Preston, Esq., too ;)

Porky's.

Thanks for the review, 40. I've heard good things about  Man of Steel, but it's nice to have the perspective of a friend. This may be the best of the summer movies. Star Trek was a bit of a let down and I passed on Iron Man 3 on the sense that it was more of the same.
