The Simpson's Movie - 10/10
I haven't been brought to tears while laughing in a long time. Obviously a prerequisite to giving this movie a 10 out of 10 is loving the Simpsons to begin with. But being a big Simpsons fan, I feel, makes me a harsher critic of the movie - and I was not disappointed. It is on the short side, with a running time of 1 hour and 28 minutes. But it's one of those movies that you know if it were any longer it would just get old. So I'm glad they stuck to the formula of 90 minutes of greatness vs. 170 minutes of wondering "when is this fucker going to end?"

The Reaping: 5/10 - It was OK. If you have some time to kill, it's kind of entertaining. Predictable plot, decent visuals, average acting.
Superbad: 8/10 - I really didn't think this movie was going to be any good but I actually liked it quite a bit.
Knocked Up: 6/10 - Some funny scenes, but nothing too special.
28 Weeks Later: 6/10 - Not bad for a sequel, but the original was far better and much more of a scary movie. This one had a few good scenes, but felt more like an action movie IMO
The Host: 7/10 - Not too bad of a movie. The plot is nothing new, but the interaction with the main characters is pretty good and quite funny.
Transformers: 9/10 - I may have given this such a high score because I LOVE Transformers. Visuals were great, Megan Fox was hot and it was freakin Transformers!
Those are the movies I have seen in the past week or so.

Really the opposite to the number 23. Very good comedy where you can really laugh. One of the best comedies I've watched in a while. Great star actors like Travolta and Martin Lawrence.

Seriously? :P I wouldn't give it more then 5/10. I never liked Transformers, but after the trailers I thought I'd change my mind. The movie kinda sucked though I think. Some great, scenes but too many things like ruined it - like the sector 7 guys, the little annoying thing that turned into a boombox and generally bad story.
I grew up with Transformers, so I think that factored heavily into my decision. You can't go into a movie like this and expect Schindler's List with robots LOL I expected to see some cheesiness because I knew they were going to market more to today's kids rather than the kids that grew up with it. It was fun to watch and that was all I was expecting :D

Kicken it old school - 4/10 - There were a couple of funny scenes, but not many. Only reason I gave it a four is for the 80s memories it evoked.
Sunshine - 5/10 - Good idea but the way it was put together was kinda half assed IMO.
The Fountain - 4/10 - Decent visuals, kind of an interesting plot, but it was one of those movies I found myself just waiting for it to end.
War - 6/10 - The action was good but the plot was really nothing too new or innovative. It had a decent twist, but I cared more about the action.
Ratatouille - 6/10 - It had some funny moments, the animation looked pretty good, but it was more of a kids movie I think.

Death Proof 9/10
if I’m not mistaken I think it’s the latter half of the “Grindhouse” project (the one Tarantino directed) they released it as 2 separate movies here which they are, they are 2 full length feature films with entirely different stories. anyways “Death Proof” is the most entertaining film I watched this year plus it has loads of car crashes and car chases in it, well the main character is a crazed stunt driver (Kurt Russell) it even features a dodge challenger paying an homage to “vanishing point” and a lots of very hot ladies who talk alot which is the only thing that bothered me about this movie it’s the girl talk I mean it’s surprisingly interesting girl talk in that Tarantino-esque sort of way but it’s a lot of bullshit quite frankly although good bullshit in a way, other than that it’s an awesome awesome movie, even my girl friend liked it she described it a “feminist guy’s movie”.
Anyways lots of hot girls, muscle cars and lots of chasing and running into things I really recommend it!

They're doing the same in Germany and other countries. It's so hilarious when you're watching a movie with Denzel Washington and you're hearing some cheesy German voice when he opens his mouth :lol:
Come to think of it, I think dubbing movies and tv-shows is a big reason why a lot of people in France, Germany, Spain and Italy can hardly speak any English.
I've been watching English TV-shows with and without subtitles since I was three years old and never had to pay much attention in English classes. It's such a huge help in developing language skills.

For someone who grew up completely without dubbing, except from animated childrens shows, I can't get it in my head that someone can get used to dubbing. Doesn't something seem funny when you se an english speaking actor speak spanish? I speak german and understand some dutch and french, and when I see some english speaking actor speak any of those, I simply can't watch the movie...it ruins the whole experience for me, and I get slightly pissed :roll:
I was once going to a german theatre with a friend of mine in Freiburg, but I left after 20minutes, it was just weird to see star wars in german.
what was ever wrong with subtitles? Here everything foreign is subtitled, and no dubbing. The children in elementary school here have english skills like a german high school kid.

I watched this on (pirated) DVD two days ago. It was a great movie which tied up all the loose ends. It was linked to the Bourne Supremacy, yet edited in a way to make it a stand alone film. Excellent.

over the last month, I saw:
I am Legend: Good remake of the old movies... worth the watch... 7/10
3:10 to Yuma: FANTASTIC film, I really can't say enough about this movie. Even if you aren't familiar with Westerns, this film does true to the the man who made the western, Clint Eastwood... 10/10!
National Treasure: Book of Secrets - Better then the first one, but the treasure is a bit more "lame" ... there may not be a repeat of the fantastic "we need more lemon's" scene, but there is some amount of cheese. Worth the watch ...7/10
No Country for Old Men: Not a lot of dialog... in some ways, it is a more modern vision of a western... There is no confusion of the good and bad guys, but there isn't any character development, which takes away from the film. Definitely worth the watch .... 8/10

No Country for Old Men - Best picture of the year in my mind, but I am biased, as it is filmed in Texas. Not a formula movie, I understand the same writer has done a post WW3 type book and it is being made into a movie, I can't wait.
National Treasure - Enjoyed it as much as the first one. Inca treasure seemed to end up a little too far North for my historic sensibilities.
Golden Compass - Caution spoiler later on. It was only Ok, but doubt I will watch the sequels. If you do a movie you need to make it really good the first time out, not do a really long movie and cut it into thirds and expect everyone to really enjoy the first third, which is what this movie seemed like. Not enough Daniel Craig and Nicole not sexy enough this time out. "Luke I am your father" Sorry its been done before.
Juno - Very good, but most of the good laughs are in the trailer. Probably a good movie to take your young teenagers too, as it deals with a serious issue and seems to solve it pretty well. Cast is incredible. You will see the young girl again.

A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473488/
A very good movie 9/10
Dito, a writer in L.A., goes home to Astoria, Queens, after a 15-year absence when his mother calls to say his father's ill. In a series of flashbacks we see the young Dito, his parents, his four closest friends, and his girl Laurie, as each tries to navigate family, race, loyalty, sex, coming of age, violence, and wanting out. A ball falls onto the subway tracks at a station, small things get out of hand. Can Dito go home again?

War - 9/10 with Jet Li and Jason Stathum. Killer movie too bad the had to destroy an american classic Nova SS. Also features many hyper cars. Of course I was confused, I thought Fearless was supposed to be Jet Li's last performance. At least thats how they billed it in the adverts.
Shoot Em' Up 8/10 Pure non stop action. Had all my qualifications for a good movie: Guns, Sex, Violence, and Adult Language. Not a theatrical masterpiece, but a rockin' ride beginning to end. I definitely agree it would make a great FPS.
Strays - indie film written & directed by Vin Diesel in 1997 on a $40,000 budget. Really good story... pity it took 10 years to go from Sundance to release in 2007.

You miss the point of the movie.
It was supposed to be an over the top "shoot em up" first person shooter game style movie.
With impossible gun battles and Jame Bond style timing and unbelievable gun play and action.
In that vein it was spot on - and great fun to watch.

"Empire of the Sun" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092965/)
Fantastic movie, 10/10 .... and it is only PG ... and the first movie use of Christian Bale... Ben Stiller was in it too, and "Cypher" from the Matrix, and a few other guys who we recognize today...
Apparently, this was the first American film filmed in China for many on-location shots... every interesting way the story was told, very very different to any movie I've seen recently, or even in years! A welcome breath of fresh air .... coming from 1987?
if only Spielberg was this good today. Computer animation has hurt movie story-telling IMHO.

I still don't see how it's fun to watch a film like this. It's one thing to play a game like this, it's another thing to watch somebody to these gun battles without any sense of realism!

Realism? You want to talk about realism?
Have you ever watched a James Bond movie from the last 35 years?
That is the entire point of the movie.... a great shoot em up - taking cues from pointless and unbelievable "shoot em up" scenes from the beginning - but with the idea of not just having 1 or 2 such scenes, but scene after scene of such action ;)
If you bothered to rent it and actually view the "behind the scenes" bits and understod the "what, where, why and how' then it is actually a very entertaining movie.
Seriously, when last was any movie realistic? I mean even the acclaimed "BMW Movies" ar eunbelievabl epointless car chase scenes, the Ronin chase scenes... pretty unreaslistic as the chance of the timing always ebing perfect -- all the aciotn scens from the "Bourne Identity" series... totally fake and unbelievable ;)
Sense of realism, meaning the movie scenes are done in a way where a viewer can make him/herself believe it could happen within certain parameters. We all know that every movie is unrealistic, that's not the point.
Shoot em up on the other hand doesn't bother creating a 'sense of realism,' and based on what you say about the "behind the scenes" they weren't trying to have ANY sense of realism at all.
My point is when I watch a film I want to be immersed in the story, and believe that what is displayed could actually happen (aside from few exceptions like comedies). And to me although I would probably enjoy the game, seeing a movie that's done in this manner doesn't make sense.

Actually, within the context of the "movie universe" Shoot em Up is as realistic and believable as any James Bond movie.. or even the Bourne Identity series.
Sorry to dissapoint you, but no-one is as "bad ass" as eithe Bond, Borne or Ronin... in any universe.. ;)
The "realism" created by Shootem Up is no different to Bond, Bourne or Ronin - its just that you are willing to accept "fake" reality if it only happens in a few scenes - but will dismiss it if it happens scene after scene :)
I see your point, but I don't think you see mine.
Ex: Ronin, the gun battle that happens when one party gets betrayed (to the best of my memory). Yes to a certain degree it is unrealistic as to how any of them survive but the director does try and show how they manage to get out alive by making it as real as possible. Compared to Shoot em Up where one guy walks into a building, and kills 20 without breaking a sweat.
Yes, all movies are unrealistic, but there are various degrees of realism in each one. In some more, in others less. I guess my accepted level is much smaller then yours.
btw, that might explain why I hate all Bourne movies, and don't really like most Bond films either.

Shoot 'Em Up was a fun ride. Escapism at its best.
It was meant to be fun, nothing more.
If you are only watching movies for a realistic portrayal of events, then you are missing one of the bigger points of film. The movie going experience is about escaping reality for a couple of hours; leaving behind the drudgery of everyday life.
Being immersed into a film universe has nothing to do with how realistic it is, it is a direct result of how well the universe was created, whether realistic or over-the-top.

Please read carefully what I previously posted!
My point isn't hard to understand.
The clearest way I can explain: There are movies which are done well, and ones that are done poorly, good movies immerse you because the universe they create is believable.
NOT BELIAVABLE IN A SENSE THAT IT HAS TO BE ABLE TO HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE! but believable in a sense of how it is portrayed in the film. The contexts it is in.....
Being immersed into a film universe has nothing to do with how realistic it is, it is a direct result of how well the universe was created, whether realistic or over-the-top.
Exactly!
......And then there are bad movies like Shoot em Up for me. Because this movie creates a weak universe that is not immersive.

Trust me, I know exactly what you are saying. Your point isn't hard to understand at all. It is simply misguided.
That fact is, we will never be able to agree on this particular issue. Where you think the Shoot 'Em Up universe was poorly done, I thought it was put together well for what it was trying to achieve.
Then there are the two other movie franchises that you said you didn't care for. Whether you liked the films or not, you can't possibly feel that the Bourne and Bond films didn't do a good job of creating a believable universe?

There is nothing misguided about my opinion. Trust me I wasn't expecting much when I went to see this film in the theater! All I was excepting was to be entertained, it's just that the movie didn't deliver on any levels.
Then there are the two other movie franchises that you said you didn't care for. Whether you liked the films or not, you can't possibly feel that the Bourne and Bond films didn't do a good job of creating a believable universe?
With those two films it was more about the acting that was the problem.
As a side note I haven't bothered to see the second or third part of the Bourne films, so I can't comment on those.
As far as Bond films, like I mentioned before there are only certain ones I don't like. The last one wasn't too bad.

Cloverfield wasn't really a "movie". More like a simulation of what would happen if New York was actually under attack from a gigantic monster. And it felt like it.
Lot of things seem illogical, like how that guy was carrying the camera everywhere filming everything, or how awesome the battery life and the storage capacity of the camera was, but those were necessary devices.
The love story sub-plot was kinda lame, but they obviously needed some sort of incentive for the survivors to stay behind. And it wasn't too unbelievable.
The only thing I didn't like about it was the characters. They weren't very likeable for some reason. They weren't hateable or annoying, but still.
I say it was the best monster movie ever. It feels like it wasn't scripted, but things just happened naturally on screen. And the fact that we don't know much about anything made the whole thing more thrilling. Unlike in say... Godzilla where a character would babble on the exposition very 5 minutes.
I'd recommend everyone to go see it in the theater at least once. Don't wait for the DVD, unless you have like 50ft screen and 1000W speakers.
8/10
PS. I don't know what the critics are banging on about with the 9/11 connection. I didn't notice it. There's just one scene when people are running down the stairs at the beginning asking if the others thought it was a terrorist attack, but that was it. Then again, I don't live in NY, and maybe all the movie critics live in NY.
And I don't also get all the people bashing the marketing campaign. People were complaining on and on about how the movie isn't worth the hype, and I'm confused because the movie didn't have much hype. I mean, I just watched the trailer when I went to see Transformers and that was it. I was looking forward to it, but not enough to spend my life trying to figure out what the monster actually was. It's really their own fault for creating such hype themselves. Sheesh.
There. That's the end of my rant.

funny thing, in the movie, when they are up on the roof of the building, you hear someone in the back saying '' ITS A TERRORIST ATTACK!!!!'' ....

Just saw cloverfield. I really liked the fact that Abrams had no respect for the characters, honestly I would've had even less (kill 'em all). Sub plot sucked and was unnecessary, but I guess they needed a reason to stay back. Special effects were amazingly good as I've come to expect from any self respecting production these days. It felt like a dream where really extraordinary events and images seem completely real. Hard to explain, but it felt more real than 99% of the thrillers that have come out lately. And no, not just because of the shaky camera, just something about the way events developed simultaneously and not exclusively from other events. Go see it before it leaves theaters. 8/10

Russle Crowe's character had grown through the course of the movie; and hints that the man wasn't "all bad" were layed down throughout the film leading to the ending. It is something that is lacking in a lot of today's movies.... Character Development ;) I still think it was 10/10 8-)

Hey, I like westerns, the atmosphere is great and the movie had it really much. Yeah Character did develop, that doesn't bother me, but seriously... You are a killer, your killer buddy tries to rescue you, but you kill him instead because after years of killing you rather go to jail? Common...
Oh and he was a BASTARD to do this, why? Because if he would just leave, the rancher would still be alive and not dead like that (does anybody care about the family?) So this was just irrational development, just too much...

There will be blood - 8/10 ----- Interesting story, but the ending felt confused... something was missing. Good movie.... felt very much a part of history.... not unlike "The Betsy" in ways.... but not much in the area of love triangles .... hmm..... maybe 9/10!
Horton hears a Who - 6/10 ----- was written as if it was for radio, or perhaps as if Jim Carey had a lot of ad-libs ... not too helpful IMO.... but it is a film for kids. Not as good as Nemo.
Shoot em Up - 10/10 !!!! Holy crap! This movie is "Max Payne" personified, with less (no) drama, no drugs, and no bullet time. Awesome!
Semi- Pro - 7/10 ---- Another good Will Farrel flick. Not as good as Taladega Nights, but far better then Anchor Man :) Great one-liners!

That final fight was definitely the biggest let down of the movie for me. I didn't find it interesting at all, nor did it have me at the edge of seat so to speak. It was pretty boring and like you said, a bunch of, "yadda yadda yadda".
I saw Narnia yesterday. I didn't see the first movie so I didn't fully understand the story. After all the hype I've heard, I found the movie pretty "meh". While there, I saw that there's going to be a Mummy 3. Except this time it's going to be the Chinese version with Jet Li as the bad dude:

Indiana Jones...Crystal Skull. It was a good movie, nice mix of action and humor, and a cool old character besides Indy.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...Terrible...would strongly recommend against going to watch it in a theater and suggest that if you want to watch it that you wait and rent it. The plot is rather poor at best and the primary plot device (Crystal Skull) is terrible, as it doesn't really make much sense. The usage of Oscar-nominated and Oscar-winning cast members is marginal at best. Cate Blanchett plays a role that could've been carried out by an acting nobody. In an attempt to make things believable based on the time-period, George Lucas tried to fit as many 1950's stereotypical items into the movie as possible. I tried to go into the movie with low expectations but to say that it's a combination of "Indiana Jones" and "Contact" would be more or less accurate...I would not go see it again. This is just another example of Lucas ruining a perfectly good series... 4/10
Iron Man... Probably not the best movie I've ever seen, but I liked it at least as well as Transformers, and that's saying something reasonably positive. It's good fun, quite amusing, very tongue-in-cheek and despite the fact that there's about 1/2 hour of nothing but robot-building, it's pretty well done as well. The final fight scene could've been a little more impressive, but it ain't exactly bad either (unlike the video game). 8.5/10
Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian... Definitely better than the first movie, it's a bit darker in some ways than the first movie, but not quite as dark in others. The dialogue is pretty good and gives a good sense of adventure and the fantastic. I'd give it an 8/10
American Drug War: The Last White Hope, <- a must see

The Forbidden Kingdom (Jet Li & Jackie Chan) - 10/10 One of the best Kung Fu movies I've seen, awesome fight scenes without 'wire work' overkill, plot was pretty terrible but I didn't expect much as that’s not what the movies about really. Jackie Chan as always brings some humour into the mix. If you like Li & Chan this is a must watch. :thumbup:
War Inc - 9/10 Good satire set in the near future when American forces occupy a foreign country but this time the invasion is run a bit like a hostile takeover in business. John Cusack plays the same sort of character as he did in Grosse Point Blank and Joan Cusack is very funny, shame she doesn't have a bigger part. If you don't mind a film that takes a light hearted poke at US culture then it's definitely worth the watch. :laugh:

7/10
Action moved the plot along more then dialog, and the action was well done... far superior to the first Hulk movie.
The Hulk origin was changed between this movie, and the last one quite significantly... more to move in line with Marvel as a universe, rather then a stand alone movie... not necessarily a good move IMO.... but we'll see in the 2+ years later Avengers movie (or might they be aiming at next summer???) But yes, there is that tie in; and its done well enough.
Liv Tyler really sucks as an actress IMO, and this movie is no exception.
Edward Norton does ok.... but again... the movie is progressed by the action.
the nemesis is done far better then it was in Iron Man as far as the final fight scene.
Avengers ~
Hulk, Iron Man, Nick Fury, Captain America (enough of a reference to him in Hulk) ..... I'm suspecting that we'll see Thor and Namor... bah....

Indiana Jones - So much potential to make a great movie, but got ruined with absolutely absurd scenes and a shallow plot line. 6/10
Hulk 2 - Entertaining action scenes, good effects and OK plot line. Not much depth to it though. 8/10.
The Happening - I actually had a discussion with my friends about whether the actors were told to purposely act as if reading cue cards or not. I argued that the acting was so bad it had to be on purpose, painful to say the least. Like most M Night movies, the plot had mountains of potential, but then got ruined by his necessity to oversimplify and explain everything that happens. 6/10
21 Blackjack - "OMG MIT genius plays cards and learns life lesson, but not before making half a million dollars through terrible acting and an equally lacking cast." 5/10
Forbidden Kingdom - The movie itself sucks. The plot sucks. The idea that someone can learn kungfu in like 3 days sucks. The kid sucks at acting. The girls arent topless in at least one scene in the movie, sucks. Hot evil chick didnt do anyone, sucks. The only reason this movie scores any points is because Jackie Chan and Jet Li are amazing and two or three of the scenes were funny. 5/10 sorry Jackie.

I thought Wanted was okay. I think Angelina did redeem the movie, but I agree, Morgan Freeman just wasn't...right. I usually like his acting, but his role and dialogue in this film were kind of cheesy and something was just missing. The cinematography was cool but didn't have that wow factor like when the Matrix series came out (bullet dodging and freeway chase scenes). 7/10
Wall-E was good. This is one cartoon that I think is geared more towards adults than kids. A lot of the movie's themes and messages would be lost on the younger kids. 8.5 (maybe 9)/10.

My most recent viewings have been Street Kings, The Bank Job, Vantage Point and Hancock. Street Kings was pretty good and I enjoyed it as much as I could in a cramped aircraft seat with the fat woman in front reclining her seat to the max. The Bank Job I've talked about it the dedicated topic and that was close to movie of the year stuff for me. Vantage Point was incredibly confusing in the beginning and it really only came together towards the end. The end result was a disjointed movie that simply wasn't that enjoyable to watch. However, my parents have watched a DVD and they thought it was excellent. Perhaps it was the fat woman in front ruining my viewing experience.
I actually paid money to see Hancock. I wish I didn't. I went with an old mate of mine who I hadn't seen for awhile and we both thought it was rubbish. There were elements of a good plot brewing, but it was somehow lost. You can't blame the actors - it's just not a good movie and was never to be one.

This one was not comical at all, he seemed more like a very real life psycho serial killer. I didn't read or see any previews so I was very surprised that Two Face made an actual appearance. I thought they were going to wait for the next installment to make Dent turn to the darkside; gruesome and awesome looking. Nice job all around.

Hancock was alright...I miss half of it becouse I was d....doesn't matter. I liked it.
7/10
After that the Phatology or smt like that, now that sucked big time. Usually theese new horror movies are fun and discusting a bit, but this was boring. I usually get scared atleast one time in theese movies not in this one, can't believe they made it. I was begging for it to stop at some point becouse I was so bored.
3/10 (only becouse it was discusting at some scenes)

HellBoy, skip it. I almost fell asleep watching it. It was pretty boring and the humor was dry. Meh. 6.5/10

Yeah, I liked the first one too. I just wasn't amazed by the visuals, story was alright, and I was honestly really bored throughout the whole movie. There wasn't any one point that had me on the edge of my seat of made me laugh. Maybe I expected too much walking in, after some of my friends hyped it up too much.

The Dark Knight - 9/10. Really very well done. The movie is much more of a character study of the Joker than the Batman in some ways, but that doesn't really take anything away from it. The movie is well-written, the dialogue between primary characters is good, and each event in the movie flows well from the preceding events. The Dark Knight has some very interesting social commentary and raises some interesting questions about the human condition. I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first, but it is perhaps the best Batman movie to-date, as it is a proper stand-alone movie in and of itself, it just isn't quite as much of a Batman comic-book flick.

I was just telling RC the same thing yesterday. The movie is very heavy; but there were some similarities to how Begins was done.
Begins undertones were "you must learn to do what it takes, even at the cost of lost lives" (in some other words that Ras al Gould was teaching)
The Dark Night was "being the hero we need, and not hero who is necessary" (again, something like that)
But, that was only a small part of the movie.
Heath did a fantastic job... in many ways.... he is definitely the most psychopathic, demented, and twisted character, right to the root of his core I have ever seen in a movie.
The movie is a lot to think about; and may not have been the best thing to see the night before getting up early to drive something very cool...
It is dificult to encompass the entirety of the film in a small review... but the two-word review.
Fantastic, heavy.
Heath did at least as good as Day-Lewis in "there will be blood"

Mummy 3. I didn't like it as much as the original, and the way Li was defeated was pretty lame. The story sucked hard, fight scenes were alright, but CGI was decent. It's worth the $6 to kill two hours, but I wouldn't see it again, in theaters or on DVD.

^Yup. That's about right.
They wasted Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. It wasn't really that good, but it's a perfectly serviceable movie. 6/10

Hancock - 7.5/10 - Entertaining, took a dive near the end.
The dark Knight - 9/10- There have been few times I can think of where I have seen a more believable character as was Heath Ledger's Joker. Absolutely unbelievable performance, one of my favorite ever. The movie was much better than I expected from a batman movie considering the previous ones more or less all sucked. Overall a very complete movie, perhaps a little too involved at times, but clear non-the-less. Its a shame that it was heath ledger's last movie, but man what a performance. Go see it.
Garden State - 7.9/10 - Im being a bit generous here, but it was interesting and well made.

^Really?
^ Yes... I liked it a lot. Well made, and the story was clever, the main character pretty hot and the mix of Escape from New York, Mad Max and I am Legend style story line is nice.
Very realistic looking mix of real stunts, great model work with [i]minimal[/] use of CG makes for an great Saturdaynight movie at home.
