Watchmen + others

Watchmen

Read the comic. This movie isn't terrible, definitely not as bad as it could have been, but it leaves out, or changes so many things that it can't possibly compare to the comic. I know some of it was necessary, they couldn't have a zillion hour film, blah, blah, blah, but some of the changes wouldn't have effected the run time and just seemed pointless. Also, the soundtrack was down right horrible. Too many little things just bothered me, and i couldn't really get into it.


Role Models

Two guys have to mentor kids as part of community service. For a while i wasn't sold on this one, the commercials made it look kinda crappy, but it turns out it's pretty awesome. Good characters, good writing and a good director. One of the funniest movies i've seen all year.


Punisher: War Zone

The Punisher kills lots of bad guys. The first couple of scenes in this movie are excellent, and then it kinda goes downhill from there. It never gets really bad, just pretty cheesy, and i wished that it had stuck more to the what it was in the beginning, just the Punisher killing mobsters, isn't of going with a more comic booky type villain.


Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Jr.

Ace Ventura's son is on the case. A good try, but i laughed a lot more at the movie then with it. The original Ace Venture was Jim Carrey at his best, and that's a hard act to follow. Seems like there's zero budget. If you do watch it you'll probably laugh more at the "Pandas" then you will for the entire rest of the movie.


Bolt

Super dog has to save his master. There were a few laughs, and it looked good, but overall this movie was very predictable, and kinda boring, but that's kids' movies for ya.


Let The Right One In

A vampire lives next door. Not much happening in this movie, it's pretty slow, but an interesting take on vampires. It also runs kinda long, and probably could have been trimmed a fair bit without doing too much damage. The ending is awesome.


Twilight

Vampires in a small town. These aren't your father's vampires, they're your little sister's masturbation fodder. All through the movie i just imagined Edward talking in a Christopher Walken voice. I can only hope that SNL gets Walken to host again soon, and they do a sketch about this, or if not Walken, then maybe Bill Hader.


Ong Bak 2

Tony Jaa kicks a lot of ass yet again. Not as good as the first Ong Bak, and i definitely didn't dig the cliffhanger ending, but there's still plenty of great action and mayhem. Ong Bak 3 can't come soon enough.
