You probably know already, but he is in a new show(or at least new to ME anyways) called 'Thief' on cable. I am not sure what channel, as my tivo recorded it for me as a suggestion. It looks okay from what I saw but its not Homicide by any stretch. Sounds like we have pretty much the same thoughts regarding the comic movies. I haven't found ANY of them to be anything better than 'mildly dissappointing'. Maybe I will check out the Fantastic four movie and actually like it since that is a comic book that I did NOT read as a kid.briliantdonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159881776835603748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-1159923045973915882006-10-03T20:50:00.000-04:002006-10-03T20:50:00.000-04:00I did stay until the end of the credits, Divinity,...I did stay until the end of the credits, Divinity, and I agree that that was the best part of the movie ...

It wasn't scathing by any means but some movies irk over time, I think. (The following probably belongs as a comment to that post, actually) I followed the animated series pretty closely as a teenager so the Phoenix storyline was a bit of a let down and Rogue's bit was a waste of celluloid. All in all, I found it a lot of fun - tons of eye-candy and high-action. Did you stay until after the credits? That was pretty sweet. Probably the best bit of acting in the whole movie, in my opinion, but I've always had a soft spot for Moira.Divinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204047865617818203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-1159918718317295752006-10-03T19:38:00.000-04:002006-10-03T19:38:00.000-04:00While I didn't love 'Fantastic Four,' I'd be willi...While I didn't love 'Fantastic Four,' I'd be willing to give them another chance. I did love seeing Michael Chiklis playing Thing. And having Andre Braugher in the sequel is a nice plus. <BR/><BR/>And I'm so glad to have found somebody else who was as disappointed in 'X3' as I was. As Ian mentioned, the signs were all there beforehand...but I was really hoping Ratner would be able to pull it out like he did with 'Red Dragon.' But NOOOOOOO. Clearly, that was a fluke.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02878511381035535885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-1159917967249608762006-10-03T19:26:00.000-04:002006-10-03T19:26:00.000-04:00nice work!nice work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-1159912468125293972006-10-03T17:54:00.000-04:002006-10-03T17:54:00.000-04:00I'm definitely with you, Craig ... he was great in...I'm definitely with you, Craig ... he was great in subpar material with FX's Thief, but he's absolutely due the lead role in a major Hollywood flickReel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-1159912303362535462006-10-03T17:51:00.000-04:002006-10-03T17:51:00.000-04:00As a friend of mine once said, I could watch Braug...As a friend of mine once said, I could watch Braugher watch a guy read the phone book.

I think they were just desperate for some sort of superhero backlash and timing meant this was the movie to get it.<BR/><BR/>I didn't think X-Men 3 was too bad, possibly because my expectations were so low going in. 90 minutes of eye candy and not much else, unfortunately, but the signs were all there before the film was released.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13442419547110456696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-1159905942527496082006-10-03T16:05:00.000-04:002006-10-03T16:05:00.000-04:00I definitely have agree that you're lucky to live ...I definitely have agree that you're lucky to live in Austin, Annie, not just for the great movies that open there (one of the only cities to get Idiocracy, for example), but just for the overall quality of life ..

I'll have to think about that, especially since I just saw him in the Science of Sleep. <BR/><BR/>Gael Garcia Bernal isn't physically imposing, has a very expressive face, and is usually very reactive in scenes with other cast members... all of which say maybe not, but... there is strength in his hands and his shoulders and he can make his eyes smoulder. If there's enough backstory on the villain, he could probably be amazing. <BR/><BR/>Annie, lucky to live in AustinAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-1159897387499311542006-10-03T13:43:00.000-04:002006-10-03T13:43:00.000-04:00You're right, Marina ...
