Took in a double feature at the theater today.

Saw Wall-E for the second time. I think I enjoyed it much more this time. This film is so great, probably in my top 3 pixar films.

The other film I saw was Hancock, and I enjoyed it far less this time than I did the first time I saw it - and I didn't even like it that much to begin with. This movie has so many problems.

Just got back from the new X-Files movie and man, what a let down. It was less than mediocre. I'd say that unless you're a huge fan of the series, skip this. It's probably not worth your time.

Watched the Spielberg film Duel yesterday, which was pretty good, especially for a made for TV movie. I think the suspense aspect fit the movie quite well.

Also watched the MST3K version of The Killer Shrews, which was very funny. I think the fact that the movie is silly on its own may be reason enough for me to watch the regular version of it.

Watched the Cinema Insomnia version of Gigantis the Fire Monster yesterday and the movie was a decent sequel to Godzilla: King of the Monsters! The movie felt rushed in some parts, but it's always good to watch a giant monster movie once in a while.

I believe Duel is his first movie he directed. I remember bits and pieces of it. Like when he ran out of gas and got to the top of the hill just in time. Really good ole fashion suspense movie.

Today, movies just don't have that suspense in them anymore. I guess I've seen so many war movies and horror movies, I've become numb to it all.

Well, watched Die Hard tonight. Geeze, can't believe how young Alan Rickman was in that movie, or how good he can play a bad guy when he wants to. (To those who don't know who Alan Rickman is, he plays Snape in the Harry Potter flicks)

Took the family to see Hellboy II today. Amazing movie. Much better fights and dialogue than the first film (and I loved the first one), and the entire population of the screening room burst into laughter at several points.

Spoiler:
Especially Red's "fight" with Johann


Foke-yuced... lol


I recall reading that Del Toro already had a story in mind for the third film (I also remember some time ago, that if Lobster Johnson was in the third one, he'd want Bruce Campbell to play him). However, with the two Hobbit films in production, it might be a while - but then again, he said he'd try to comply if Perlman wanted to do Hellboy 3 earlier than his finishing of the second Hobbit. Also....

Spoiler:
If Hellboy 3 features the Helltwins, I hope it's done tastefully and not abruptly in-your-face like in Shrek the Third


(Puts "Can't Smile Without You" on his playlist)

Watched a B horror from '57 called The Vampire yesterday, which was somewhat better than I thought it'd be. Plus, the cast seemed to know what they were doing.

After that, I watched The Man from Planet X, which I enjoyed. In a way, it reminded me of The Day the Earth Stood Still, which was probably because of similar concepts the movies had.

Pretty disappointing for an Apatow produced Will Ferrel/John C. Reilly flick.

Watched Yor, the Hunter from the Future yesterday and it was alright. I didn't think the sci-fi aspect in the movie was gonna work, but for the most part, it did.

The Dark Knight

My fourth time seeing it, first time in IMAX. Seeing it in IMAX was like seeing it for the first time again. It was amazing.

Watched Shogun's Samurai the other day, which I thought a well done movie. The movie may have been kind of hard to follow, but oter than that, I liked it.

And yesteday, I watched The Wild Angels, which was mostly OK. I don't think it had the same appeal as some of Roger Corman's other movies did.

Saw Sunday night The Dark Knight for the second time, first time in IMAX. While most people tend to like the pencil part the best, I'm starting to get big chuckles when Joker gets out of the Semi, fumbles and shoots off his rifle at the same time.

Watched Plan 9 from Outer Space yesterday, which is always an entertaining movie. In a way, I think it's starting to grow on me.

Watched The Body Snatcher yesterday, which was a nice '40s horror film featuring the final teaming of Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. The movie seemed to keep me engaged even though the writing and staging were a little off.

After that, I watched The Virgin Spring, which was a superb film from director Ingmar Bergman. I'm glad it got the awards it did, including an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
