Yeah, Cloverfield is totally new to me. Thanks for the link. I doubt this'll be on for long, but here's a bootlegged copy of the teaser on Youtube.

Man, I haven't checked in here in a couple of days, but you can really tell the Summer movies are out and exciting people.

I've yet to see Knocked Up, but that, Fantastic Four 2, Ocean's Thirteen, and Transformers are on my to-see list. This is an interesting idea, Justin:

my biggest disapointment, knowing that there won't be a sequel

I can't say whether there will be or there won't be, but it sounds slightly refreshing that a blockbuster would not be eyeing a three-peat, or at least a part II. I'm not an old school fan of the Transformers, so I don't think I'll want for a saga, but seeing the trailers and hearing all your reviews certainly makes me look forward to it.

What I did see was some old DVDs. Namely, the 10th James Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me, starring Roger Moore. I have often written off the Moore vehicles, and I don't have too much more interest in them now. There is a good bit of comedy in them, which for me is a bit of a letdown from Connery and even Lazenby. The villain was completely two-dimensional, and along with Blofeld, from other Bond outings, inspired Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies.

The most interesting part for this crowd might be in the first moments inside a submarine. Boba Fett himself, Jeremy Bullock, is a crewmember playing chess. It's a really minor part, but it's cool to see the guy on film instead of at Star Wars Weekends. During Moore's commentary in that segment, he mentions that he and Bullock were old aquaintances that had enjoyed working together on previous projects. He also said that Bullock had gone on to play roles in several other James Bond movies.

The only other movie I've seen recently is Ong Bak, The Thai Warrior, which plays like an updated version of Jackie Chan movies from that actor's heyday. I found the movie to be pretty fun. The story of a farmboy going to the big city to save a sacred relic from his village was not overly original, but it was enough to hang all the action on. There are no wires in this movie, but lots of flying. The stunts are replayed two and three times from different angles to let you know how good they are and that they are done by the actors, not stunt performers. If this is something you appreciate, this is a good movie. I view it less as a drama, and more like a circus performance with a story. In that perspective, the movie's a success.
