Mini-Review: I like this movie way more than I should. The dialogue is Mamet all the way through, but it does seem odd and unrealistic at times. Still though, the concept that the film's title is derived from, the subject matter, and the haunting score all combine to give me just what I want in an intelligent thriller. Plus, I do love me some Val Kilmer. Macy seems comically underused though. A nicely shot movie that Probably scoring it way higher than it deserves, but it captures my imagination in a big way

Mini-Review: Honestly? Well, it's hard to not be biased here. This is one of those films that makes you feel like a kid again. I thought this installment was as good as Temple of Doom, in fact, I think it's a little better than TOD because Shortround annoyed the hell out of me. All the little references were great: the Ark, snakes, monkeys, swords, and bugs. I enjoyed how they showed Indy not quite as with it as he used to be. Many people were turned off by Shia, but acts completely differently in this film.

Mini-Review: Stylishly shot, but way too formulaic and predictable. Kevin Spacey is brilliant as always even if the movie as a whole seems empty and devoid of feeling. I will say that it does capture the dream of becoming a Las Vegas high roller, and all that comes with it.

Mini-Review: One of the most visually entertaining and imaginative movies I've seen recently. Ron Perlman is still pitch perfect as the titular hero, and the rest of the cast do a good job. Whoever choreographed the Prince's fights did a great job, I never really thought of elves as bad ass until I saw this. Del Toro keeps giving us highly creative and visually inspired films. I have been a fan of his ever since Blade 2, and am excited to see what he has in store for us in the future.

Mini-Review: A solid reboot of the Hulk franchise. Yes, it is a fairly mindless affair, but it is one that is done very well. I like how they went straight to the story and did without an origin, how it was more of a chase movie than a superhero movie, and how well it was paced. Edward Norton is very competent, William Hurt is excellent, and Tim Roth is awesomely menacing. The last 20 minutes of the movie are what we've always wanted in a Hulk film. Great cameo and continuing (see Iron Man) setup at the end.
