Got to see Troy last night. Damn good movie actually. Its funny how even though you know how its going to end, you still route for something else to happen.
Maybe not really the best role for Pitt, but the fighting was excellent. Better than most historical-esque movies.

Meh.
Why is it that summer movies are, for the most part, a giant crap-a-thon. It's not like folks with discerning taste only go to the movies in winter… bleh. Enough with the overdone, effects-only, look how neato it is when we blow this up, plastic characters with one or two bad love scenes thrown in, films.
Let's just say, if it has an effects budget, I'm likely to not like it.
Anyone wanna see Supersize Me? I can't wait…

Man, Brad Pitt is just gross. So is his wife.
I am looking forward to Supersize Me. Perhaps it will give me added motivation to stick to the diet I'm on.

Brad Pitt's best role was in True Romance, I think it was, when he was the stoner guy and "Outshined" was playing…it was all downhill from there.

And kids are out of school, so they can go see these movies again and again and again because they're bored and hanging out at malls.

also, the deranged redneck in kalifornia and the gypsy in snatch. seems like his best stuff comes when you understand him the least.

As an Orlando Bloom fan, I am looking forward to Troy. I also want to see Super Size Me.

Don't mean to be disagreeable, but I also find Orlando Bloom rather pukey.
One actor I love to watch: Mark Ruffalo.

any movie which is considered oscar "worthy" is scheduled for a december release because they want it be fresh in the minds of the voters. plus, most major stars want their movies to come out in december in order to feed their egos. the is some indication that there is a shift in opinion regarding the release of only oscar worthy films in december. instead scheduling them through out the year to prevent overload. however, "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" came out and despite heaps of critical praise tanked commercially. which probably means that it's back to old logic.
ever notice all the horror genre pictures that come out at the beginning of the year? this is because it's the only time of the year when they can schedule. i.e. not up against oscar or summer movies.
it appears that is some attempt to bring together special effects with a good story. "Master and Commander", "Pirates of the Caribean", LOTR of course… Any movie with Vin Diesel is going to blow.
there will be light saber effect of the non-digital kind in "Young Adam"

He wasn't bad in "Fight Club". Although Ed Norton stole the show.
