Rent:
Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes, How long till cybermike watches another musical. Hopefully not in the next year. I haven't watched it yet.. so.. I shouldn't say anything bad about it

The Weather Man:
Wow, This is a shitty movie. Not shitty as in really bad movie, but shitty as in this movie will put you in a really bad mood. There's no good in the movie. It's all bad, bad things just wanna make you scream. GAHH $#@%!!!

North Country:
Yah I was in a pretty crappy mood after weather man and then I watched this right afterwards. It was aweful, The sexual harrassment in the movie was just gahh #$%^!!!!

Domino:
I couldn't finish watching this movie. It was cut together in half second shots, the camera was everywhere, the whole movie was just a blur. I swear it could trigger an epileptic seizure. This movie also shows just how loosely the term "based on a true story" can be used. BUT.. It has Keira Knightly in it so I'm willing to bet this is the one all the guys wanna see

Pulse/Kairo:
This japanese horror/mystery is set to be remade in hollywood later this year so if you're interested in seeing the original before they totally screw up the remake, now's your chance. It's kinda slow and it's more about creep atmosphere than it is about making you jump, but overall a good scary movie.

Ultimate Avengers:
I thought this cartoon was awesome. It was short at only 70 minutes but the animation was great and the action was really fun. If you don't know the Ultimate Avengers, It's Captain America, Thor, Giant-Man, Wasp, Iron Man, Black Widow, Nick Fury, and of course the Hulk.. The story was a little lacking and it felt like the Hulk posed a bigger threat than the bad guys, but hopefully there will be another movie or maybe a series and do more with every character since this movie seemed to be focused more on Captain America.

I couldn't finish watching Domino either. Just bad all the way around.

I am going to rent and probably buy Ultimate Avengers. Over the last few weeks I've been reading a lot of the Ultimates comic series (Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimate Spiderman...X-men) and just finished The Ultimates vols 1 & 2. So, this one is kind of a no brainer.

From what I understand the first movie is based on Ultimates 1-6 and a second movie will finish the rest of that particular series.

I just watched Rent and I gotta say it was much better than I expected. I thought It was much better than Chicago and Moulin Rouge but maybe it's because it felt more real even through bursting into song every 2 minutes does take away from the realism a bit. There were some good musical numbers but there was one song that I particularly liked, not because of the lyrics but the performace was just great. I think it was called Santa Fe, It's the one Collins sang in the subway car with the group sitting around.
