Since we are on to the movie trailers at the moment. This one looks to be a good one:

iiiiii dunno, its borderline greatness and ham.
like that one remake of a 50's movie with Tom Cruise and the annoying girl in it.
lets just hope the best parts of the movies arent all in the previews

Angels & Demons looks like it could be good. The Taking of Pehlam 123 could be good. Love Denzel and Gandolfini.

Most other previews I've seen havent been memorable.

Been to the movies twice this week.

The International - Weak. Whats-his-face just isn't that good. I really have a hard time giving a **** about him in movies. And, a terrible, terrible ending....

Taken - Surprisingly good. I saw it thinking it would generally suck, but I'm a big Liam Neeson fan so I took a look. Pleasantly surprised. While there is some bad dialogue, etc, the action scenes are great, and Neesons character is awesome. He's an older, retired Jason Bourne type, but willingly so. Meaning, he's a total bad ass. Worth seeing....

I'm also on the fence about seeing Watchmen. I think it may have potential!

Can't wait for Watchmen

Most initial reviews look good, currently re-reading the comics

Unfortunately, I'll be in bastard France until Wednesday, so no cinema for me until then.

Dragging Ms Tchocky too.

Alternate idea as to the reason, Hollywood has run out of original ideas
