What: The Hulk

Rated: PG-13

Actors: : Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliott, Josh Lucas, Nick Nolte


Plot Outline: A geneticist's experimental accident curses him with the tendency to become a powerful giant green brute under emotional stress.

Review: Went to the late feature tonight (10:50pm), and still the theater was populated with little ankle-biters everywhere. smash Not to worry, about halfway through the 2 hour movie several had lost interest and pestered their parents until they left. tongue

Legendary Stan Lee (Spiderman fame) returns as producer - his presence on the set helped ensure accuracy in the latest Marvel SuperHero movie. Some amazing computer generated graphics couldn't keep the movie moving at a nice pace tho. Lots of action here and there, but you can't help thinking 10 minutes or so of fat-trimming would have helped a lot. Some of the violence bordered on visceral terror, others elicited reminders of Austin Powers scenes:

Dr. Evil: Scott, I want you to meet daddy's nemesis, Austin Powers
Scott Evil: What? Are you feeding him? Why don't you just kill him?
Dr. Evil: I have an even better idea. I'm going to place him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death.

[Dr. Evil has left Austin and Vanessa to their doom.]
Scott Evil: Wait, aren't you even going to watch them? They could get away!
Dr. Evil: No, no, no. I'm going to leave them alone and not actually witness them dying. I'm just gonna assume it all went to plan. ...What?

and others could have just used a little common sense (if 1,000 rounds of machine gun bullets don't affect the Hulk, then 200 more rounds probably aren't gonna do much of anything either rolleyes ) Idda know, it seems like it could have been a great movie, but with the slipups here and there (they even made Jennifer Connely look not-hot mad ), it'll make people look forward to T3 instead.

Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, some disturbing images and brief partial nudity, don't bring the small kids.

Favorite Line: "I don't know what I'm becoming, but I know one thing for sure...you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." eek

Rating: 7.0 (out of 10) - Lots of action, good graphics, screenplay could have been tighter.

I agree with your review...I was disappointed..saw the 1:05 pm show and the ankle biters started out being excited but by midway they were so bored they were running up and down the stairs and talking out loud...falling/crying..at least it kept me somewhat awake...and what's up with the multiple screens? bad idea...anyway tv hulk with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno rocks.....

Saw Seabiscuit this past Saturday.

Rated PG-13 or PG I forget... a little swearing a little fighting one ugly eye punch.


StorylineSmack dab in the middle of the depression/prohibition a three men and a horse find themsleves through trials. Filled with old newsreel footage and old radio boradcasts from the time. Based off the book by the same name and the history of the actual horse that won the triple crown.

Review I went in somwhat sceptical as the movie was some 2.5 hours in length, not including trailers. I figured it would be on the tedious side as most feel-good movies are. I was pleasantly suprised. The whole movie was relatively fast paced and energetic. The racing scenes have you on the edge of your seat because the camera is right in the thick of the action. Nice blend of suspense and story. Many chuckles and a couple of laugh-out-louds. Presented so well the audience clapped at one scene and again at the end.

Summation Must see. Will win a couple of awards this year.

I thought so smile Coulda been better, but then it woulda been a mini-series. tongue Truth is, no-one knows exactly what happened inside the Alamo, all the witnesses died or didn't speak English wink

All-in-all tho, it was pretty good, and a couple good friends of mine had small parts in it smile
