Huh. I loved this flick. This and Source Code are the two best movies of 2011 thus far. I don't think the super soldier thing was meant to be some mindblowing twist, I think the bigger fallout was how Hanna finding that out changed her relationship with Eric Bana.
IMO It was a fun, thought provoking action flick with a good score and a nice ensemble cast. Differen't strokes and all, but I think Gabe's just being a big ol' Cynicgum.

This was a very not terrible movie! I'd go so far as to say its one of the most thought-provoking action movies I've ever seen. Beautifully shot, the fairy tale motiff stuff was cool, GREAT action, super well acted, even funny! Reminded me of The Professional, but...better?
Yeah, how old were these kids? Looked like 8 at the youngest? You can tell them their sister, you know, died. This "sis sis is in heaven" crap was weird. And why do this at the beach?
I thought it was an alright show but had the same problems Gabe did, especially about that surprise party thing. I don't know how they can make a compelling plot out of a season of this, if the first two episodes were anything to go off of. The only character I found especially compelling was ratfaced partner and he was irritating to watch.
I think its unfair to attack ALL pranks. There's a difference between the cruel/annoying stuff (Most of the celebrity stuff, Improv Everywhere, my friend telling the last two guys she slept with she was pregnant (seriously whatt???) vs Hulu changing their site to 1995 era internet (which is pretty brilliant)
At one point the other night we were watching an episode and started talking about how hilarious Carol not Cheryl's choking fireman fantasy was AND THEN WE REALIZED THAT SCENE WAS HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF US ON THE TV.
We also send each other youtube clips of 60's era Batman.
As my friend so aptly noted "All multi-racial children's choruses are from New York City"
I enjoyed the unrehearsed eternal nightmare that was the oscars. Nice to see Inception get some love, though Black Swan and Social Network got robbed as far as best director/picture is concerned.
The cuts to Franco back stage while they called out the best actor nominees made me lose shit. Hathaway had maybe one funny line but bless her for trying.
I can't watch Perfect Couples for more than a few minutes before I get angry and switch to something one channel up or down. The writing and acting is just too obvious and dumb and sitcom-y. Total waste of the Waitress.
The worst part of Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie is how much it completely misses the fucking point. Even ignoring how obviously half-assed the scrupt was, the "action movie epic battle" at the end of the movie was completely unnecessary and dumb. The attempts to add "Realism" ("Underland", Alice explaining everyone's problems to them one by one at the end of the damn movie) were even worse.
Alice in Wonderland is a must for the WMOAT.
Echoing Sweet Home Alabama and Garden State, which I just assumed were already done.
I nominate MILK. Not because I think it's the worst movie, but it is a total piece of Oscar-bait.
I don't care if they are the Taco Bell Five Layer Burrito of movies, I will see this opening day. Michael Bay is good at making things that turn into things fight each other.
Saw it last night. Went in expecting a thriller but HOLY HELL. "Winona Ryder stabbing herself in the face repeatedly" GAH.
I liked this movie, curious to see how it holds up to multiple viewings. It did a great job of feeling like I was watching an actual nightmare. Portman was fantastic, probably her best performance. Wasn't expecting it to go SO FAR into the surreality, but I like that they did. The use of original music with the Swan Lake score was pretty inspired.
THIS VIDEO IS COMPLETELY INSANE. It's like they're in on the joke now.
"WITH THE TAGS, FAGS"
I'll say this: Good for them. They may be gross and awful, but atleast they're trying to do something nice.
Absolute most infuriating part of this movie is Hugh Grant fucking up diplomacy against the U.S. because George W. Clinton was groped the hireling he wanted to bone AND THEN GETS APPLAUDED BY HIS STAFF LIKE HE DID SOMETHING GOOD. The montage of "vague political disagreement" earlier in the film is priceless.
Such an unnecessary and weird subplot! She can't have a pursue a romantic relationship with a man because she has a psychotic brother in a mental hospital? I'm pretty certain they don't get to call their relatives whenever they feel like, either.
I would've been on board with the whole thing if Keira had just like completely lost her shit at him. And really, what kind of "love" did he have for her? All we know is he said some hallmark shit at her and obsessively filmed her during a wedding. That isn't love, that's just wanting to bone Keira Knightly!
Well now hold on a sec, you got that dude from Serenity as Keira's husband/Grimes' best friend! In a part that was only useful in bringing together the never to be romance of two attractive straight white people!
Also, the spastic brit who went to America had a black friend. I wish he'd gotten a cool subplot.
Honestly, I don't hate this movie. But it's pretty weird for me to hear people says it's their favorite movie because it's essentially a Michael Bay film for chicks.
Can we talk about how douchy and weird it is for a dude to make such a passive-aggressive play for his best friend's WIFE? And how she just seems flattered by it instead of, I dunno, weirded out like a normal people would be?
And thank god we didn't have to see any fucking poor people fall in love. I'd lose my damn lunch.
