I was going to comment on this, but I see you beat me to it

The book and the first movie barely resemble each other at all...The second movie isn't a continuation of the first, it's more like an attempt to get closer to the book...I didn't watch the third one, but I think they finally got it right by the fourth (Reborn)

Iron Man - Never really got into the comic, so I wasn't expecting much from this one. Very impressive and surprisingly well done. Robert Downey Jr. reprises his usual role and shines as he always does. Everyone else could easily be replaced by a different actor. All in all, a fun flick.

Frontier[s] ...who would have thought to look to France for the next great wave of horror? Kick ass movie from start to finish. Nothing really new but very well executed.

Hellraiser---holds up pretty good...practical effects work much better than the special effects.

Jeff Bridges looks like grampy from the old Betty Boop cartoons - with that bald head and big old beard.

google betty boop - grampy and you'll get a laugh

Beautiful photography, fantastic costumes and awesome sweeping vistas - I mean these panoramic views of the Steppe and surrounding areas rival any John Ford western shot - tell about the youth of the man who would become Genghis Kahn. Everything is so lush that you almost forget that the film is leaving the STORY out of this story.

Played out as an odd love story, the rise of young slave Temudgin to the great Kahn skips most of the details of his actual rise to power... We see his enslavement and his escape(s), we see his rather awesome fighting skills and how his personality won over the hearts of several various nomadic tribesmen, but we never see his real progression - the one thing that I wanted most out of the film. So if you're looking for an awesomely shot sweeping historical epic, you could do a lot worse. I still recommend it, but only to those who dig subtitles and being transported to an utterly foriegn landscape. Really likeable, but unfulfilling.

6.9/10

I have a tape with Betty Boop on it that I used to watch all the time as a kid, and I didn't even make the connection. Nice one.

I realize I haven't watched a movie in such a long time. If it counts, I have watched the first 20 minutes of Let the Right One In three times now. Hopefully I will actually get around to it tonight.

You have to watch it in one sitting, from start to finish.

Wonderful, wonderful movie. One of the best in recent times.

I had absolutely no intention of doing otherwise. Everything I've seen and heard about it has been great, but every time I sit down to watch it we get company.

Next time you sit down, put this sign on your front door...
