Man of Steel. Go see it.

I had a very different response to that... and I wonder what about our experiences was different.

Hmm!

RHPS is really best watched as a group experience unless you are already a fan.

Try watching it with some huge RHPS fans and you'll be caught up in the wave.

Plus TIM CURRY!

I saw Man of Steel. I enjoyed it very much, except for one thing. The movie has me questioning my sexuality. Henry Cavill is probably the most handsome man on the planet. He has to be genetically engineered.

On a side not, one of the trailers before the movie was for a movie called gravity. It made me and my wife both shudder in fear. Good trailer.

watched Man of Steel Sat night. I enjoyed it, but had a few issues with it



other then that, i loved it.

also, was I the only one to notice how much Henry Cavil looked ike Tom Welling during certain scenes?

To answer your spoiler questions also in spoilers...

Just finished watching Warm Bodies. It was cute. Definitely a different kind of zombie movie. Malkovich was wasted though.

I saw MoS and loved it, with one caveat

After Earth, which I saw a couple of weeks ago, was not nearly as terrible as the horrible Rotten Tomatoes rating would have you think, as said rating is based on a lot of tepid reviews instead of eviscerating ones. (I was disappointed because I was HOPING for it to be "so bad it's good" bad.) 2.5 of 5 stars.

Man of Steel could be retitled "Superman Begins." It's almost note-for-note, beat-for-beat the same story as Nolan's 2005 reboot of Batman. Good enough. 3 of 5 stars.

Saw The Searchers, a decent John Wayne western, on video Friday evening. It was all right. I expected better, actually; there was a more resonant story lurking in its core that was wasted on episodic pacing. Surprisingly racist, too, in a mild way. But whaddya expect from a 1956 film? 3 of 5 stars.

Went to the cheap seats to see 42. It had an unfortunate made-for-TV vibe that I can't explain — nothing about it felt cheap or underproduced — but man, was it great to see Jackie Robinson's story well-told. Harrison Ford, by rights, should get a look from the Academy for his turn as Branch Rickey. 3.5 of 5 stars.

I too saw Man of Steel, and think I can answer at least the first two questions, also in spoilers.



I thought it was a great movie, though I don't see that much in the way of sequel potential, though any of those would probably ruin the story. Plus, having Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner as your fathers, one genetic and one adopted, sounds thoroughly legit to me.

I got to see This is the End earlier today. I laughed. Goddamnit Danny McBride is awesome.

regarding the ship you are referring to:

Saw MoS. Was OK. Mostly nit-picky stuff. Thought it strange Kryptonian atmosphere did what it did. And then knowing what it did he had issues with it later, especially when big blue could spend time underwater and in outer space with no issue. Speaking of space after he knocked the panel off the ship and released the atmosphere, how could he still hold a conversation in a vacuum?

After that I went home and watched Premium Rush and was a bit surprised to see Zod there too.

Wreck it Ralph...a door a bull.

World War Z - the only thing I know when I bought the ticket was it had Brad Pitt. Was hoping it was a sci-fi war movie but turned out to be another zombie movie. While I'm not a great fan of zombie movies I find this one worth my money's worth. Read a few reviews about the film after watching it and wondered if those critics weren't given a World War Z t'shirt for free to give a good review or I'm loosing my taste in movies. I admit, in terms of story or plot or make-up or how those zombies act, there wasn't anything new in this movie. But heck, those aerial views of zombies in Israel running like fire ants devastating the Amazon forest more than makes up for it. The helicopter crash here was even so much better than the one in Will Smith's I Am Legend. At the end of the film, I won't say this was great but I ain't saying it was World War Zzzzzz either. One comment though, I felt like that insane guy who decimated the world's population by master-minding a virus outbreak had grown up and tried to make things right... if you didn't get that one, I'm talking about The 12 Monkeys.
