An unintentionally funny action movie, which has scored pretty decent over at IMDB. It was over the top and a bit crazy, but that's what made it fun. A crazy cameo by Brittany Murphy just adds to the crazy.
It's obvious that this was meant to have a sequel, or that it might have worked as a pilot to an action packed tv-series, but it never got any of this things to follow the story further.
It's fun though if you're just in the mood for a crazy action.

Happy Feet
First off I have this to say; awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
It took about half a minute before I was charmed to bits by the penguins. The opening was sweet, and I have to admit that I think my heart skipped a beat when Hugh Jackman (Memphis) started singing, even though I hate that song.
When Mumble entered the scene more cuteness ensued. Now, I usually hate mushy, cutsie movies, but this one won me over very fast. Maybe I'm getting soft? However it wasn't pushing the mushy stuff, this movie actually had a story to tell and it got right down to it.
I liked the movie a lot, even though there were about two or three times I thought it was over before it actually was, and each time I was thinkin; 'It can't end like this!' It didn't end like that, and I was very happy. It kept going on. I was suprised before the film to learn that it lasts almost 2 hours. It doesn't feel like that at all.
It's a very sweet and endearing film. The story builds up nicely, might not turn the way one expects, but it's the better for it. I knew almost nothing about the storyline going in, so I was very pleased about it turining in a direction I didn't know about. It kind of has two storylines, but the first one helps set up the second one, so it worked nicely.
This movie will end up in my DVD collection, there's no doubt about that.
In closing; I want a Mumble doll.

Sin CIty
Just got back from my second viewing of Sin City.
I do love this movie, and I'll be buying it the second the 2-disk edition is released. Anyways, this movie is visually stunning. Kind of weird to say that about a mainly black'n white movie, but it's true. The few colours that pop up just add to the gritty feel of the movie, and help draw attention to the simple things we might have missed, like Dwight's shoes.
The stories are simple, and I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much if they were taken out of the CGI/black'n white/gritty setting, and each segment made in to a separate film. It's the style and the feel that this movie delivers that kept me in my seat and enjoying myself, that and the really cool characters.
First up is two short stories, one with Josh Hartnett, and the beginning of Bruce Willis' story. Don't think it lasts for more than 10-15 minutes in total, before the first main event. The Hard Good-Bye.
