I was kinda' meh on Iron Man II. Sure, there were lots of pretty explosions, but I found it difficult to care about them.
eta: I guess it was worth my $5, though.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Watched three great movies today: The Station Agent, Dial M for Murder, and Double Indemnity.
The last two made an interesting double-header. The perfect murder never goes right, you guys! Stop trying!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Those movies are just like textbooks!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
All excellent movies.

All excellent movies.
And all based on essentially three actors.

Ooh, good point. And in all three movies, someone dies in the first act!

Matt Reeves to genre fans: 'Let Me In'
He's probably best known as director of 'Cloverfield.' That has some fans worried he'll go flashy on a remake of 'Let the Right One In.' He makes the case for giving him a chance.
...
The casting alone should help quell fan trepidation that this is some sort of smash-and-grab adaptation. The central trio of characters — the boy, the girl and the man who takes care of her — are played by Kodi Smit-McPhee ("The Road"), Chloe Moretz ("Kick-Ass") and Richard Jenkins ("The Visitor").
Spoilery as to the basic premise of Let Me In / Let The Right One In.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I still see no reason the movie needs to be remade this soon after the original.
I know I'm fighting a losing battle on this issue.
