Are you sure? Last I read it was going to be a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp remake.
I'm not sure. Fangoria reported last month that it would be Dafoe. If Burton and Depp do it instead I'll be pissed off. I'm not interested in seeing Dr. Edward Scissorphibes.
They said nothing about who'd play Vulnavia. Any suggestions?
The Heat (2013) - 7/10. Finally, a nice wholesome stupid shitty comedy for Sandra Bullock again. Fuck serious-actor Sandy, shit like this and Miss motherfucking Congeniality is where it's at! Didn't laugh once, but she's just cute as all fuck.
The One - 5. A poorly executed post Matrix rip off film about alternative universes starring Jet Li. He has been in better.
Star Trek: Into Darkness: First hour and thirty minutes was good, but the rest was meh. 7 out of 10.
The Crow - 8

Zappa is pure cult status shit. He is to music what Bruce fucking Campbell is to acting....
Really damn funny. Everyone in it just goes all out. I've actually mostly seen positive reviews for it so far, which is surprising for a comedy like this.
What Maise knew(2012) Julianne Moore Movie is about a 7 year old caught in a custody battle between 2 awful parents 7/10
Shadow Dancer( 2012) Clive Owen Gillian Anderson. Movie is about an IRA member turning informant for MI5 in the mid 90's. It was just was too slow 6/10
They say all good boys go to heaven
But bad boys bring heaven to you
The Watch (2012) - 3/10. Shitty comedy with Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and the swearing fat shit from Superbad. It's not funny to begin with and then goes down an even shittier sci-fi action road towards the end. Also, total sausage fest. Avoid.

I saw both of these as well. I thought "What Maisie Knew" was really good. One of those harrowing movies about the damage of divorce a la "Kramer vs. Kramer." "Shadow Dancer" was decent, but didn't reach greatness. I agree that its pacing is a bit too languid.
Bright Star (2009) - 5/10. Costume drama about John Keats' relationship to some bitch. It's incredibly dull, worth five points solely because said bitch is played by Abbie Cornish, who's incredibly hot in it, as always.
Winter's Bone (2010) - 9/10. I'm starting to get why everybody loves Jennifer Lawrence (besides being kind of hot, I mean).
Muppets Most Wanted: 6/10
Lacks the feel goodness of the reboot. Funny how the whole Muppet thing can't sustain on the big screen.
Star Trek: Into Darkness: 7/10
Fun as a sci-fi action flick. I think they wasted the whole Khan concept a bit.
The Wild Bunch: 4/10
Just didn't get the whole thing. Filmed in a pulp style but the story is convoluted and I didn't care about any of the characters. A classic that fizzled for me.
It's hard for me to get used to these changing times. I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty.
Yeah, I agree. It's certainly not as good as the original, but I was somewhat surprised to have enjoyed it and to find the tweaks to the original concept engaging.
Wanderlust (2012) - 5/10. Lame David Wain comedy with Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd. Expected a lot more from the guy behind shit like The State or Stella.
