    Linkin. I did not know much about the 13th Amendment fight in the House so that was interesting... if it was historically accurate. I also liked that he cursed. It's the little things.

    From Dusk Till Dawn... I really, really enjoyed it. The script/plot/story was interesting, and Clooney did one hell of an acting job. Cheech Marin in 3 roles was a hoot as well.

    For one thing, the final tense moments in the airport of "are they on to it or not? are they gonna get caught?" is made up for dramatic effect. There never was any suspicion, they were home free. [face_laugh]

    I saw the Red Dawn remake. When getting a ticket, I actually said "one for the Red Dawn remake" because I can't call it Red Dawn. I can't really judge it as a standalone film but tried to imagine if I were an impressionable tot watching this just as I was when I eagerly watched the original. A hypothetical situation with North Korea just isn't the same as a plausible one with the Soviet Union of the early '80s. Surely a lot of people don't know North Korea from Hong Kong so it might not matter. Even kids had common knowledge that the USSR had massive fleets, tank divisions, troops, etc. North Korea's capabilities aren't as well known nor are they as great. In the original the airborne units came under the disguise of commercial airliners, not squadrons of transport planes that somehow got to the US. References just seemed to pop up for reference sake without fitting into the plot sensibly. Still, most of the characters weren't as significant, especially the enemy ones, and the cinematography was typical modern dizziness.

    The Amazing Spider-Man. It's interesting in a cultural way to see how public perception of geeks and nerds has shifted in this era of comic-book films-in the original of these films, Peter is a loser, no bones about it. This Peter, however, has geeky cool all over him. Also, the love story is far and away better-never understood why Peter was nuts about a woman that treated him like garbage for the majority of the films, and Emma Stone has far better screen presence, as well as actual things to do besides scream a lot. The Lizard is a fairly minor-ish villain, as well as apparently a fan of the Ras Ah Ghul Guide To Gassing Cities, but the scene in the credits does a good job of reminding us the real mystery, and villain, is still out there.

    27 Dresses (2008). What a sexist piece of garbage. Before that was License to Wed (2007). What a creepy movie. He should have been arrested and thrown into prison. To purge my mind of both of these "comedy classics" HBO had Harry Potter and the Deadly Hellows parts 1 and 2 back-to-back. Or Deathly Hallows. Something like that. I then went to sleep with peaceful thoughts rather than with tears of agony.

    I just saw the film yesterday, and have been rather shocked by the reviews to be honest. I thought the movie was fairly easy to understand, but I guess not. I want to point out that the hypothetical situation actually involves an invasion that is organized via a coalition of forces (Russian, Chinese, North Korean). The opening makes this fairly clear along with the flags/symbols seen throughout...so I'm baffled that so many people (including critics) are walking away from this film thinking "North Korea." Another criticism I read claimed this movie was a Tea Party "wet dream" and that it was a big middle finger to the federal government, except it wasn't. Another criticism was that the film is pro-American...I'm not sure where to go with that since...it's a remake of Red Dawn...it's going to be pro-American...not sure why that's a bad thing.

    In my opinion it's a fun film with ok acting and amazing action sequences. It's no worse than any other simple action flick.
