If Bob is looking for Art House action films, I wonder if he ever got around to seeing 'Hanna.' That film was fantastic with a great sense of style.
I can't remember which one it was exactly but at the beginning of one of his reviews he says to go see it then goes on with the review he was doing.

Who's the douche at the 04:41 & what has he done?
I kind of want to know as well.

Also, where's our Tintin review?
Brett Ratner; what Bob is referencing is that a few days ago Ratner made a slur against homosexuals and resigned as the producer of the next Oscar ceremony

He pulled that same manuever with 'Battle: LA.' That was another movie I was eager to hear his full take on.

This seems like I should wait to see it on DVD, but actually, the DVD would probably cost as much as the theater ticket, and for a movie that I'm probably only going to want to watch all the way through once, exclusively for the "visual panash," wouldn't it be better to see it in super surround sound on a great huge screen?

Oh thank goodness. I love Tarsem's style and particular brand of awesome. I was kind of worried this wouldn't stand up, but hells yeah! Now, time to go see it.

the douche is Brett Ratner. The folderol is a anti-gay slur. He's a douche; all you have to remember among the other shit he's done is that he's responsible for X-Men: Last Stand.

OT: Interesting.

So what I'm gleaning from this is that Immortals should in essence be viewed as moving picture: ie- bag the plot and the dialog and enjoy the visuals?

That sounds like it might be entertaining. I wonder when someone will actually do a dialog-less film bent on that purpose.

THE CELL WAS PHENOMENAL!

Eh, at least you recognized how good The Fall was. God damn I love that movie...

I was on the fence about Immortals up until a week ago when I realized Tarsem Singh was directing. I immediately made plans to see it. This review only makes me more excited.

I'm really hyped for this film, yeah at first I thought 300-knock off but then I saw the first trailer. At that point I thought it was a 300-knock off that went ludicrously over the top and drenched itself in Kriby style space gods, and I wanted to see it. Then I saw The Fall and realised that the guy making it was a visual master and enourmously creative, I so want to see this.

Did you see the 3D version or the 2D version?
I'm curious about this as well. My local cheapo theater (where I go to see most movies as it's like 2 blocks from where I live and shows first runs at like half the price of major theaters) isn't showing it in 3D so I'm wondering if it's worth the trip to a different theater or if the 2D version is fine.

I very rarely agree with any of your reviews, and I'm not sure I agree that eye candy can ever be enough, but this was a good review nonetheless.

Greek mythology has a special place in my heart. It was the first thing I ever geeked out on, when I was no older than 7 or 8 years old, before I even knew what a video game or Star Wars was. And since then, I've never really stopped being into it. Having that type of a relationship to it, I don't really mind that people use it as a backdrop for their over-the-top action fantasies, without caring much for the actual mythology. But it would be nice if someone only for once could make a movie or a video game about greek mythology that goes a little deeper than all the stuff we've been seeing the last couple of years.

It was Your Highness, recommended about 3 other movies as well before starting the review.

Now I'm on the fence with this one. I can't look at it as a graphic novel in motion like 300 is. (which is the only way THAT film makes sense, btw.) If the story is too weak to connect with, then it just becomes a 2 hr trailer which, besides being exhausting to watch, is somewhat pointless. The only tarsen film I've seen is The Fall, which I didn't even realize until I looked it up on IMDB and recognized some of the photos.

Heared of this a few months ago and already then decided to watch it in theaters. Going to watch in an hour or so, judging by the review I will probably like it. It makes 300 look like 0.03? Count me in.

This might just break my cinema apathy. The last time I was at a movie theater was the midnight release of HP:DH:2, I'll probably go next weekend though, to beat the stampede and everything.
