This. And the story never gets cheesy, unlike so many action flicks.

So I dunno about how good it's going to be... But I'm all for a horror film. So Chernobyl Diaries it is.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I watched Safe House with Denzel a few weeks ago.

I was forced to go and wasnt expecting anything but it was really good, definitely one of the best movies ive seen in a real long time. Kind of like the Jason Bourne movies.

Excellent homage to an entire anthology of horror... While flipping the genre on its head.

That movie was great. Like a cool combination of Evil Dead and a violent buffy

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I saw The Avengers and The Dictator in theaters yesterday. The Avengers was great, really well done (I felt like The Hulk was the star of the show), everything tied in fine with all the other previous Marvel movies that set it up, the action was fine, and they had some very nicely timed one-liners in there too.

The Dictator was decent but nothing special, and the timing of it was way off (Spoiler alert, highlight to read) because of Bin Laden's death, with him appearing in a scene at the end of the film, and he's also the main butt of a joke earlier about him staying in Cohen's guesthouse and how he stinks up the bathroom. I think the movie was made before his death and I guess they tried to make it work, but it really doesn't. Other than that it's pretty funny.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Saw The Avengers. The plot is pretty much your basic buddy movie formula: Problem occurs, buddies needed to solve problem, buddies don't get along, catalyst/epiphany, buddies get along, buddies solve problem. Just insert "Heroes" for "buddies", "Crazy supernatural crisis" for "problem" and "kick the ass out of" for "solve".

The dialogue is generally really good, the movie stays true to its genre and keeps continuity w/ other hero movies. Definitely a movie to see on the big screen rather than waiting for it to come out on video.

"Hulk ... Smash"
