Wow. I barely remember the first Predator. Funny thing is the only part of the movie I remember IS that jungle part. Haven't seen the rest of them yet.

This movie is just unbelievable from start to finish. Its a lot to take in, but as along as you don't over think it and pay attention, everything is right there for you.

Danny Glover wasn't exactly a thrilling successor to Arnie.

Not only did Danny Glover beat the Predator to the point of It activating it's onboard Muslim ka-boom device, he stopped it from exploding by cutting of it's arm, pummelled the Predator down a second time after tracking it back to the Pred's ship, gutted and killed it with it's own weapon, stared down an entire squad of more Predators before escaping the ship and walking away to tell the tale. That's way more bad-arse than anything Arnie did who only covered mud all over himself and got lucky with a Wild E Coyote trap.

Well not to go fanboy, but that Predator lured him back to his ship where he gave mr tough cop the beating of his life with one arm btw, and a poke in the guts. Only reason he lost was the Predators are always cocky and like to drop their guard alot. Still...he did do alot better than the wimps and fodder in the AVP films.

A- Lack of depth with the characters, but I don't really care. I mean, it's the same faults that The Matrix had, and I didn't care then either. The film was flippin' awesome. We didn't even have Keanu Reeves polluting this movie.

More detailed review in a couple of days.

The Expendables: I would like to rate that movie as being fucking awesome.

Ah thats on my "need to see" list. I dunno when its due in my town

Did Predators come to your town?

[John Roberts]

Salt. Not as fucking awesome as The Expendables, but very entertaining nonetheless. A shame about it's 'insert generic sequel cliff-hanger here' scene at the finale, though. Chiwetel Ejiofor seriously needs to be in more movies; he's a pretty damn good actor when given the right role (Serenity).

Don't think so. Also just checking.. The Expendables aren't coming to town. Have to wait till its out on video then

I finished this review a while ago. How on Earth did I forget to post it?

INCEPTION
8.5/10

It's odd how, among all of the comic book films and remakes of stuff we've already seen before, a film with as much intrigue and potential as The Matrix can still be produced.

Inception follows a team of mind hackers and thieves as they embark on something that's in over all of their heads: try to cause someone to change his thinking by hacking his brain and planting the idea inside.The team is lead by Mr. Cobb, who is attempting to get the false accusations of murder acquitted so he can go back to being a father to his children.

The movie seems to be set up in two halves. The first half explains everything. Normally exposition to this extent is a very long and arduous posses in a movie for the viewer. But director Christopher Nolan handles the visuals accompanying the exposition so well that the viewer doesn't even realize that he's being spoon-fed all sorts of ridiculous ideas.

The second half of the movie is where the rubber meets the road, and the team begins their journey into the mind of a very successful buisness man in order to get him to change his mind about his company goals. But the man's mind has been trained to fight invasion and begins to fight back with a vengeance.

The visuals are stunning! Forget AVATAR, forget giant robots or any CGI gimmick fest over the past couple of years, this movie is where it's at. Special effects should created by mixing various methods, not just computer animation. And GOOD special effects should be like watching an illusionist at work. You don't know how he's doing what he's doing, all you know is that there are people floating right in front of you. And that's just how it's done for Inception. The fight scene in the hallway alone is just a work seamless trick photography, with absolutely no CGI assistance at all. And even after all that, there are still more stunning visuals that leave you scratching you're head about how it was all done.

And the best part is that every visual effect is used to tell the story. No pointless grandeur moments, no self exalting display of gimmicks. Every awe inspiring visual explains the world of the dream that you're in and pushes the plot forward.

The only issue is that Inception doesn't bother to enrich the characters, making the viewer care about them. The characters, whereas complex in nature, seem to just be there to support the amazing plot rather than the allowing the characters to grow op the viewer. This seems to be a fault in a lot of mind-bending stories, including The Matrix and Paprika. where the characters become secondary to the plot rather than at the forefront of the plot. But in both cases the plot and the visuals keep the viewer interested in the film until the very end. Those who don't see this in theaters will seriously miss out on an amazing experience.

I wanted to see Piranha 3D. Looked like a fun movie.
Local theater isn't showing it. Opting for such classics as Vampires Sux

[John Roberts]

The Departed. An excellent crime movie, and all actors totally bring their A game for it. Leonardo DiCaprio continues with his best; Matt Damon does what Matt Damon does; Jack Nicholson plays himself (Ha!); and Mark Wahlberg co-stars in probably the only film in existence to which he is not an annoying fuckbag.

Fun movie that was exactly what I was hoping it'd be. Beautiful women and ugly heroes with gore and explosions
