I need to go to bn.com right now and buy The Losers, so I can check the movie against the source.

The movie is loosely based on the first trade, according to IMDb. I'm definitely going to check out the series at some point; it's only five trades.

Jason Patric? OTT and perhaps from a different movie. Definitely the weak link

Completely agree. I could see what they were going for, but it didn't work.

But I agree that the rest of the cast was great. The movie was funny and things blew up. I was entertained. It wasn't spectacular or amazing, and most of the best bits were in the trailer, but it was still fun times.

and most of the best bits were in the trailer

I only watched a bit of the trailers, because the anticipation was killing me. The Zoe/JDM fight scene looks better in the movie, but it's still way improbable. And the Chris Evans recurring gag was beautiful, and couldn't be spoiled in preview.

I can't believe people were bitching that Chris Evans wouldn't be able to bulk up to play Captain America. Man's huge.

I liked Gladiator. Crowe didn't blow me away in it, but he was adequate. I have a soft spot for the historical figure of Marcus Aurelius. I enjoyed seeing how his influence reached on past his death, to the character played by Oliver Reed as well as Maximus.

I loved all his T-shirts.

One awesome scene that wasn't in the trailer was the bit at the end with the motorcycle and the plane. And Clay just standing there as a GIANT PLANE ON FIRE bears down on him. Totally badass. That is the kind of ridiculous shit I want to see in these movies!

He's John Fucking Winchester, man. He climbed out of hell to save his boys. He can totally do that. Not to mention beat gravity in the dive to get the trigger. No problemo.

Clay was delicious.

It totally delivered on the ludicrous action front.

I have an extra pass to see the film Drones 10:30pm tonight at the Somerville Theater. It was directed by Adam Busch & Amber Benson and stars Jonathan Woodward. Email me if you're interested (profile addy is good).

How in the world have I never heard about Repo! The Genetic Opera until now?! A movie with Anthony Stewart Head singing?! I watched the preview and it's now at the top of my Netflix queue. Has anyone seen it? I'm hoping it's going to be as awesome as it looks!

It also has Paris Hilton. I didn't actually see it, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high.

I own it on Blue-Ray, because I think it's ridiculously full of schlock, camp, and bombast, and I have a weakness for such things.
