Man, I'm a day late and a dollar short...as usual! Hate I missed this thread, especially when
300 was being discussed. I thought it was a delightfully different movie, sort of like
Sin City meets
Troy. Awesome acting (but Butler needs to leave the Snake Plissken role to Kurt Russell ;)), and out-of-this-world cinematography. I think it's the best thus far in '07.
Grindhouse looks pretty sucky just from the cheesy trailers (yeah, I KNOW it's supposed to look cheesy). But Tarantrino needs to stop his exploration of other genres and stick with what I think he does best: crime dramas.
I'm a little old for
Pirates of the Carribean, but, darn it, I got sucked into watching the first two and now I have to see the third just to see how it comes out! Same with
Spiderman 3.
