Spiderman 2???

Really?

A movie so exciting a fell asleep watching it.

Twice.

[Brandi in AZ]

I just saw The Incredibles last night, and I agree that it was wonderful. Even those that don't like animated films should like it.

[ECM]

You and me both, brother.

Bad (real bad) Superman 2 rip-off (and Superman 2 wasn't particularly stellar, either).

[Lancey Howard]

I heard that Life Aquatic had a good soundtrack.
The only movie on either list that I saw was 'Passion'.

Is it out on video?

America has money to burn.
A family of three would blow $210 on admission alone. Add a ONE shared big coke and ONE shared popcorn (lets say $10 for both) and that's an extra Ben Franklin! This for the TEN WORST MOVIES!

$7x3=$21 $21x10= $210

I heard that Life Aquatic had a good soundtrack.

I haven't seen it yet either, but Wes Anderson's films always have good soundtracks.

[Echo Talon]

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

I saw this the other day! I thought it was funny... :D

[turnrightnow]

Welcome to Mooseport was painfully bad. I saw it (half of it) on a flight back from Hawaii. Fortunately I was sedated by the memories of my vacation, so I was able to endure...most of it. I then put on my reading light and enjoyed the much more interesting in-flight magazine.

This script was not a good choice for Ray Romano.

[EGPWS]

America has money to burn.

This statement of yours is encouraging!

It can't be a bad thing either!

Can it?

[Welsh Rabbit]

Oops. Post #8 was directed to Lance.

It comes out on DVD March 15. Our Costco is selling the 2-DVD collector's set and includes a $3 off coupon for Kirkland water bottles.

I liked Spiderman 2. One of the few watchable movies around these days, with a reasonably conservative message.

[mdwakeup]

Totally agree, although I would certainly acknowledge it isn't for everybody. This is NOT a spoiler, but anyone who "gets" this movie has to concur that the ladies room scene is a classic!

[sevry]

Congratulations PIXAR!

I'm stunned he ranked it like that. You would figure Medved would have The Passion, unlike Roeper - or certainly Ebert. But the Incredibles. Maybe I'll go see that. I had not heard much of a favorable 'buzz'. But depends on who you talk to.

[1FASTGLOCK45]

I don't goto movies much anymore, And if i do, it's because someone invites me and i still don't really want to go but i go because i like to get out with my friends to a movie once in a while. Other than that, i feel it's a waste when i can watch it at home for a rental fee and at my leisure while i'm doing other work.

[endthematrix]

Me too. Thank heavens for the VCR (and my DVD)!

[1FASTGLOCK45]

I love DVDs. I use my laptop, movies look awesome with my 15.4" UXGA screen. I just don't like Hollywood. ;)

Scooby Doo 2 was fabulous. It was a light hearted comedy that actually had some interesting social commentary, great special effects, an acceptable plot and stayed relatively true to the TV characters.
