a picture says a thousand words.....

so leave a message telling me what YOU think is going on here. I guess I don't have to tell you that i was in TEARS from laughing after this happend.

"HULK SMASH!!!" and boy does he!

The Incredible Hulk was AWSOME!!!! I loved every second of it. It was better than Iron man. It knew what it was, an ACTION movie, and had the good sense to put lots of that in it. It didn’t hurt that Edward Norton, one of the best actors we have around these days, fits into he role like a GLOVE. Liv Tyler needs to work more, and I’m glad she’s already signed on for the sequels as Betsy Ross, the heroin of the film. Of note is their relationship. Unlike every freaking other superhero movie, these guys have a complex past, and she’s “moved on” and he can’t get to “exited” or he hulks out, and all these little details to their relationship that make it all the more interesting. Also, the villain. Thank GOD for a proper villain (I’m looking at you Mr. lets come up with a bad guy in the last 20 minutes just so we can call our self an action film Iron Man) who has reason and motive, and is also VERY interesting, with many different angles. Also worth praise is the action itself. I knew what was going on every second. Every fight, every chase, I knew who was where and chasing who. Unlike transformers. Also, these monsters have weight. When they jump, it looks like they are exerting themselves, and when they land, it looks like it hurts. The final battle in the streets of new York is the largest scale action scene I’ve seen in a LOGN time and when the immortal words “hulk SMASH!” are uttered, not only did he do good on his promise, it brought the audience to a near standing ovation. It was sheer bliss to see this much awesome comic book action in one film. Spiderman was goofy. Batman was always more interested in character and plot over actual action (and in that one instance I’m ok with that) and Hellboy isn’t mainstream enough to get a budget for the kind of action this film throws down. Complaints? Pacing. The movie is 2 hours on the nose and it is WIDLEY publicized that Edward Norton (screenwriter as well as actor) had a HUGE falling out with Marvel over the cut of this film. Sometimes a scene is trimmed here and there. But there was 70 minutes of completed footage excised. And it shows. Supporting characters pop up out of nowhere and disappear just as quickly. Some of the military personal including William hurt come off as one note, when you can just FEEL there was more left in the wings. All well, no matter, that’s what DVD is for. As is, the summer has officially begun, and this is my favorite movie so far. Just a blast.

You'r better off killing yourself before seeing THE HAPPENING

So The Happening was probably the most gleefully horrible film I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s the first time since Mystery Science Theater 3000 went off the air that I wished it was back on. I think a revival of that show is in order for one special engagement. The latest from M. Night “I’m a hack” Shamalamadingdong. Mark Walberg and Zoe Deschanel are two of my favorite actors around. Walberg seems to be on the cusp of serious a list status and Zoe is just as cute as a button with oodles of charm and charisma (she was the best thing about elf. And yes, that’s a burn against will Ferrell) but not in this thing. But are they to blame? No. they have both proven to be amazing previously. The plot, a mass series of suicides in New York and other heavily populated areas for no apparent reason, leading most to assume terrorist attacks of the noxious kind. These are quickly dispelled of course by handy radio and news reports, that no matter how grave a situation, everyone seems to have time to stop and listen to. So what is IT?!?!?! Well, it’s plants. I’m not ruining anything, it’s in the first 30 minutes, and they talk about it for the rest of the running time. Get it? The plants are pissed at us for global warming so they’ve developed a natural toxin that kills us parasite humans off, in the form of self deletion. O.K. kind of lame, but there is some serious potential in that plot. Unfortunately, the actors, plot, or anything else with any semblance of talent or skill are no match for...M. Night Shamalamadingdong.The sixth sense was a great film with a killer ending. Signs was an awesome little twilight zone episode made for feature length. Unbreakable was boring and slow with hands down one of the laziest, obvious, tired “twist” endings I’ve ever seen. The Village and Lady in the Water were both so horrible I won’t even grace them with my negative remarks. So here we have is “first r rated Movie” with means nothing because 3 seconds of SLIGHTLY bloody bodies could be trimmed and a pg-13 would be secured. The much ballyhooed death scenes pale in comparison to “PULSE” which is an Asian film I’ll get to a little bit later on. A man feeds himself to a tiger. Are you SERIOUS!?!?!?! The entire audience I saw this with, myself included could NOT STOP LAUGHING!!!! People waiting in line to use a gun to shoot themselves? Might be creepy, even though shamalamadingdong points the camera at the people’s feet. That’s right, an entire sequence, for NO REASON is shot at floor level, as you HEAR people shoot themselves. It’s a bad directorial choice. It’s even dumber considering it’s “his first R rated movie.” If only it ended there. Marky Mark talks to a tree. That’s right, a tree. Here is the best part, when he realizes it’s a plastic tree, he STILL talks to it in fear! I kid you not I was crying I was laughing so hard. If this was his first film, mark Walberg would never work again. Zoe deschanel unfortunately is early in her career, and this heaping pile of crap will make it VERY hard for her to get any more work. And ramalamading dong? He’s already set to make Avatar: The last Air bender for nickelodeon. Yea, a live action cover of that kids cartoon show. Maybe that’d be more his speed. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s fired for it. The village tanked, and so did lady in the water. Now this. Mind you they all had strong openings. But the sharpest fall offs due to horrible word of mouth. How many more movies can this guy “make” and coast off the 6’Th sense phenom? How many more chances is he going to get? He’s getting worse and worse and idiots keep giving him a second chance. He’s a joke, as is this movie. Luckily for him, this is one of the rare occasions where it’s so bad it’s good. Drinking games will be invented. MSTK3 will come back on the air, JUST for this. And Wal-Mart is already clearing some space in their $5 bins for this.
