    13 minute look at The Dark Night Rises. No real spoilers, just a behind the scenes look with interviews from the cast and crew. worth a watch.

      Amazing Spiderman.

      I think I liked this better than the original.
      First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.

        Crank was fantastic in that they knew I wouldn't care about the plot whatsoever, so the film was ridiculous the whole time. I never understood putting a lot of time in developing a plot in an action movie.

          Amazing Spider Man. Hard to say if I like the reboot origin story better than the Tobey McGuire version, but I prefer the Gwen Stacey love interest angle better. On the other hand, I liked the Green Goblin better than the current villain, and would have preferred by far to have had Electro as the villain this time.

          Then I saw Taxi Driver. Still a classic.

              Taken

              I thought it was good. Beyond the over the top violence and my recurring thoughts of, "Why are you ing with Qui-Gon Jinn?" the movie had a great plot, but very predictable from the beginning when they trick him into letting his daughter go. Also, when Neeson finds his daughter and starts pursuing her, the killing of every single person he interacts with him gets a bit old. However, I thought the movie was good all in all. 4/5.

                You should watch Darkman. Leeam Neeson and Sam Raimi before Spiderman fame.

                  They're making a new Godzilla. And it's supposed to be awesome, much, much more realistic.

                    Amazing Spider-Man - Spidey parts were good...Peter Parker parts...not so much. The pace of the movie felt like it was going at a crawl and the way it was shot at times felt more like a documentary instead of a movie which made it lose that magic for me.

                      I agree a little bit. When Garfield was Peter Parker, there would always be these awkward silent parts. I wanted to yell, "say something stupid", but he just made some faces and that was it. I think he nailed the Spidey part. Much more sarcastic humor that I think was missing for McGuire's Spiderman.

                        To me it felt like they tried to give a bit of "Drive" style of silent/awkwardness but fell flat on their faces with their attempts at it.

                        Spider-Man was my favorite growing up - there is just so much potential to this franchise which I feel has been wasted, first with the original trilogy and now with this version...it pains to see Batman and Ironman getting the quality treatment while Spidey is getting this mess...

                          Arrgghhh!!! I have become furious at all these GD remakes. For every former hit movie Hollywood remakes, that means there is some potentially great film that never will see the light of day. Just imagine if the studios turned down making the Matrix cause they wanted to do a new version of Godzilla? Or what if the studios decided to do a remake of Casablanca instead of letting Pulp Fiction see the light of day? When is the last time you saw something revolutionary and new in the theater? (Inception comes to mind, but it's hard to come up with ANYTHING recently)

                          There is a finite amount of money, finite amount of movie screen and finite amount of weekends. Every time a studio decides to do a remake (Just how cannibalistic IS the movie system? You can only pick at the bones of what's already been done so many times?), that takes up a slot that could have been taken by something new.

                          Screw all these remakes!! If you guys know many really cool scripts are floating around Hollywood, that look truly fun and clever and exciting, just begging to be made, you'd be pissed, too. Screw another Godzilla remake and any other remake in general. I can only eat leftovers so many days before I need a freshly made meal.

                            Pretty bad, almost as many Zombie movies. Too easy making retreads. Many folks thought the Paranormal Activity movies were a rip (remake) from the Blair Witch series. Of course it stole the lost footage idea from Cannibal Holocaust.

                              So...TDKR comes out this week. Just sayin.
                              Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.

                                Just out of curiosity, I checked out some of remakes that are in the pipeline.

                                Akira (Are you freaking kidding me?!! And it WON'T be set in Japan, since we're too egocentric as a culture to consider anything not set in USA. USA! USA!)

                                Dirty Dancing (Why?)

                                Evil Dead (ICONIC movie with a career making iconic lead. And you're going to try and duplicate that?)

                                Total Recall (Why bother?)

                                All Quiet on the Western Front (They are going to remake a film that won TWO Academy awards and is considered one of the greatest films of all time?)

                                Oldboy (I don't care who is attached to star or direct, Oldboy is a classic. Leave it alone.)

                                Point Break (Really? Sigh.)

                                Robocop (The movie had great synergistic timing for the era it came out. That time has passed. Leave it alone.)

                                The Birds (yeah, let's remake a superclassic movie by a master director....just becasue.)

                                A Star is Born (Wow. Timely and original. That story has NEVER been done since. Over. And Over. And Over.)

                                Neverending Story. (Sigh)

                                Seven Samurai (What new twist could have possibly be done on this?)

                                Time Bandits (noOOOOooooo..Sewriously. NO!!))

                                Creature from the Black Lagoon
                                (Casue we haven't had a gazillion monster movies since the original was made.)

                                Lethal Weapon (It's being worked on. Why, I don't know.)

                                The Wild Bunch (This movie has already had so much stolen from it already and put in other movies, let alone the fact it's another truly icvonic movie with a perfect cast, it would be beyond stupid

                                Death Wish (Yes, we need yet another movie about a vigilante seeking vengence.)

                                RWB, I ultimately decided not to watch Cannibal Holocaust (Good call). Believe it or not, I just don't think I can stomach animals being abused for the sake of entertainment (or any reason) and I can watch about anything.
