I like The Score, with Ed Norton, Robert DeNiro, and Marlon Brando. Oh, and Angela Basset in a sadly small role. One of the better con films of recent years, I think.
Man, just ascend already.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think I was underwhelmed by that, even though I wanted to like it. But I love Ed Norton. He was great in Primal Fear.

Is this Hulk movie supposed to be related in any way to the one a few years back? Because it looks like a whole new cast.

No. In fact, it's Marvel's way of saying "You know that Hulk movie a few years back? FORGET IT EXISTED."
Seriously.

Oh, good. Because I got dragged to that one by my cousin who I was babysitting for and it sucked royally. Maybe I'll have to see this one.

My understanding is it's sort of a stealth sequel that will pick up the action after the events of the previous movie without really referring to it much, but won't have the in-depth retelling of the Hulk's origin and so forth.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well, it does technically pick up where the last one left off (with Banner/Hulk off in some South American jungle somewhere), but I'm pretty sure that's the one and only reference.

Yep. Also, I'm one of the five people who liked the first one.

Thought way too much of itself. It was rather boring and the soft around the edges shots got old really fast.

Samurai Saga this weekend, which features Toshiro Mifune playing Cyrano de Bergerac in feudal Japan. It had the artificial Technicolor look of a John Sturges movie, but Mifune brought his considerable chops to bear on the role.
