At least one critic is calling Sky Captain the best film of the year.
Edit: Whoops, that review is rather spoilery.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

From that "Doom" article:
the leader of a special ops team, who crosses paths with the organization responsible for his parents' deaths while battling alien demons,
Heh. The "alien demons" part is cracking me up. They are not just regular demons. They are demons from outer space!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Giles would be appalled.

I don't care how hot Karl Urban is. If he's battling giant cockroach-like snot-monsters in this flick, I'm not watching it. Ew.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Didn't someone post a review here saying The Onion loved Sky Captain?

Local paper loved it too. We'll check it out this weekend.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I kinda liked Riddick
I do want to see Sky Captain. I'm going out to St. Louis to visit my dad this weekend, so maybe I can coax him into seeing it. We are, after all, talking about a man who thinks that "Alien Resurrection" was the perfect movie to see on Thanksgiving morning.

It's nice to see Karl Urban getting lead roles, but, Karl, baby, don't you know that video-game movies are NEVER good for your career? (I don't care what Angelina Jolie says.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
...I think Karl is trying to be a latter day Kevin Bacon. Note his costar is The Rock.
