<snicker>  Rob said "cocks."  <snicker>

Retaliation wasn't as good as I hoped, but after the abortion that was the first movie, I'll chalk it up to a couple good baby steps and hope that the next one continues to improve.

That, or I can really hope that my son is too old to care when part 3 is released and I can skip it entirely.  I'm perfectly content with my DVDs of the 80s cartoons and the awesome G.I. Joe "Resolute."

Looks outstanding! I was really worried that it wouldn't be more than a pale imitation of the original. SO glad that it looks to be so much more than that!

I'm also stoked to see Sullivan Stapleton getting some big screen work!  I'm a fan of his character on Cinemax's "Strike Back."  I'm excited to see what he can do with a different character (though it looks like he isn't departing his roots too far, with that scene with Eva Green!  LOL).

I agree with Walker, Tim.  I'm sorry you didn't enjoy this film.  I saw it in the theaters and thought it was a riot.  It's a steam(or puritan) punk semi-fantasy clearly taking place in an alternate world.  But where a movie like Van Helsing did the same thing with 10 times the budget and came up as a boring mess, Hansel and Gretel doesn't take itself that seriously.  The dialogue is as anachronistic as the weapons.  Jeremy Renner doesn't ACTUALLY stop to wink at the camera, but you can see him trying hard not to, while Gemma Arterton looks like she's having a ton of fun cussing up a storm while getting to be the badass that her brief turn as a Bond girl denied her.

I'm getting the unrated cut of this film and I'm putting it on the shelf next to Army of Darkness, Buckaroo Bonzai, and Remo Williams where it belongs:  low budget, semi-comedy mash-ups that are awesome because they don't take themselves too seriously, but still deliver and ton of fun and a few thrills.

 Hey, Robert, where's our Man of Steel review?  I'm anxious to hear Rob Vaux's (or your) opinion on it.  My Father's Day depends on it, man!  ;)

 This is looking better, but I'm still not entirely thrilled with it.  I'll wait and rent it.

 I remember wanting to see this in the theater, but not having a chance to get around to it (it came out right as I was getting out of basic training).

Now that you've reminded me, I'll have to try to track down a rental copy to check it out.

One of my all-time favorite comedies (and also notable to me as one of the first times I saw boobs on TV as a kid, along with Tanya Roberts in Beastmaster.  LOL).  Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy didn't miss a beat in this movie.

Homestar, I'm with you.  I had to watch the trading scenes over and over one summer until I figured out the concepts of short sales and such.  LOL.

This movie looks awful.  Lone Ranger isn't supposed to be "serious" by any means, but this looks like Wild Wild West all over again, just without the cool steampunk gadgets (or Salma Hayek in a corset).

"A Disney channel fabricated fembot."  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  That's outstanding, Muenster!

Timberlake is okay.  He's no Daniel Craig, RDJ, or Anthony Hopkins, but he's also a lot better than those TeenBeat douche bags like Channing Tatum, Chad Michael Murray, and Hayden Christensen.  I think with time, a little coaching from the right directors, and some decent scripts, Timberlake could be ruled a solid B actor and the one true DIsney Channel success story.

Ethan Hawke has the acting depth of a shot glass.  I can't stand any movie that I've ever seen him in.  And this looks like a rip-off of several recent Nic Cage and Jon Cena films.  I'll pass, thanks.
