No Spirit needed, thanks

I won't even justify it with a picture, because the women are beautiful and may draw you in. Frank Miller's The Spirit is simply one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It was poorly acted, rendered, and absolutely abhorrent. I'm frustrated writing this because I was so offended by its sheer stupidity.

Drill Bra



This was a Japanese horror film. While being one of the more violent movies I have ever see, it reminded me of Kill Bill. Blood was spewing from every orifice, due to the cartoony fight scenes. I don't exactly recommend this badly dubbed movie.

Step Brothers is funny. Very funny. I'm not going to credit Will Ferrell for that though. Judd Apatow creates funny, and Ferrell and Reilly are just the beneficiaries of it. I'm just a little sick of same old Will Ferrell shtick and how he has managed to play the same character in every movie and been successful.

This is coming from someone who thought Stranger than Fiction was his best movie, though.

The Tragedy of Hellboy

The Dark Knight didn't only put the Bat up against a psychotic clown. It also put a beat down on Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy series.

I was really hoping to see a third Hellboy. I find him to be an endearing character with a sense of realism compared to other comic characters that come out of the woodwork every few months onto the big screen. Demon or not, Mike Mignola created a character that felt human emotions and was a "regular guy." I don't know if the public at large wants a hero like that, but it seemed there was an audience after its 34m+ opening weekend. Unfortunately, Batman flew down and brutalized the sequel.

Batman ate up Hellboy's entire audience, which saw Del Toro's pic fall 71% from the previous weekend. Sometimes phenomenons do that. They eat up the competition and regurgitate its remains. This makes me wonder if the X-Files is dead in the water next week with the Dark Knight aftershock.

ouch.
