There are just too many trolls and people who lack etiquette on LJ....so I'm saying farewell. Facebook is a better experience.

I don't want to give anything away. Don't see the trailer. Don't read the reviews. Just GO!!

If this film doesn't illustrate the evil of taxes, I don't know what does!?!?!

The nagging splitter in the story is the fact that if she just waits a little bit she can sue the city for several times the worth of the house....buy the house back or buy a new one. I guess we just have to accept the fact that the woman just doesn't think rationally.

They should just make me dictator and I will make sure justice is served.

G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra is surprisingly not terrible. They model the story after Star Wars.

I actually felt something for these characters. They felt real to me, not plastic figurines. fond memories of machine guns, missiles, and decapitating blades. Relative to a summer blockbuster targeted at adolescent semi-retarded boys, it probably deserves a 4/5. However, in absolute terms it is a 2/5.

They stayed true to the saturday morning cartoon source material except GI JOE is no longer a Real American Hero. he is an American led international anti terrorist organization. And to be fair, that just makes a lot of sense considering the baddies are blowing up Europe....you certainly wouldn't have an American team defend against that. would you? thus, GI JOE is more like NATO.

I was surprised they kept the Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow back story. That was practically the second most important back story. The first back story of Duke and the Baroness was actually quite likable. Next time, let's have a story line where an asian boy is adopted by white people and turns out to be smarter, faster, stronger, and all around better at white society activities ....and this makes the arrogant inferior white boys mad since only white boys should be good at white activities...thus pushing them to evil...and at the end the honorable heroic Asian man defeats and kills the evil arrogant White man. That could be in the sequel :) Like karate kid II but in reverse and the Asian guy get the Pretty White girl.

It took me a very very long time to watch this movie. Susan Sarandon scared me off. How many times did I pass this film in the video isles when I used to go to Blockbuster? Had to have been 100 times.

You have to be won over by a girl who loves loves baseball. right?

Kevin Costner is surprisingly monotone.

"Shoot 'Em Up" is tastefully textured and complex like a fine wine and chunk of illegally imported unpasteurized cheese from France. It is a subtle and thoughtful film about universal human truths and man's struggle with the nature of existence, espousing the ideas of Kierkegaard and Heidegger mostly through innuendo. Michael Davis' shallow and decadent yet deep and humble film never ventures into demagoguery but the political views of the maestro are conspicuous in such scene as the one in which Clive Owen contemplates the ambiguous moral implications of the Second Amendment when firing a submachine gun into a crowd. "Shoot 'Em Up" is a film of duality through juxtaposed imagery, such as the classic nanny/stripper and husband/slave archetypes of Carl Jung.

I highly recommend "Shoot 'Em Up" but you are forewarned that it is simply too challenging for anyone who hasn't first studied "Ulysses" and attained a PHd in classical philology.

Nick Cage must be faaaarrr out there. I'm sure he believes in astrology, mysticism, and green goblins. He really likes scifi I supposed. soo many cliches in this movie that just ruined it.

I would have liked the film if they left out the children aspect. It's always the special little children who are the wise...the gifted...the special...blah blah blah. children are loud, disrespectful, crass, stupid, foolish, gullible....etc. and childhood sucks.

oh...and nice scene of MIT with about 20% Black people and 2% Asians. hahaha. We should think of affirmative action as not helping blacks...but as hurting asians.

I saw this at AMC Empire 25 in time square...I previously vowed never to go to that theater but it was the only matinée after 11pm. my advice, when a girl says to u, i don't want to get into anything serious right now. i don't want to get tied down, etc. that means...I don't want to get serious with you. When someone says, "sorrym I'm really busy". That means, "I'm too busy for you, please stop bothering me". When someone says, "i don't believe in true love". That means, "i'll never love you."

Just remember this, and you will be ok.

This is a modern day action classic! it doesn't get more gruesome and high tensity than this film. Of course it is a B-film to its very core. But it reminds me of fun times as a kid...when I used to watch mad max, etc, on Cinemax. nostalgic.
