Saw Spiderman 2 over the weekend and I was very impressed. I didn't think much of the first one, thought it was rather dull and the special effects were pretty poor and while I was working at the cinema I had seen bits of this one and thought I'd give it a miss.
The reason for this is the bits I saw seemed really melodramatic and it just annoyed me. Having seen the entire film and seeing the way mood is built up, I can see the melodrama is entirely appropriate. There were still corny bits but it didn't take away from a well acted, very well scripted film with superb special effects. Best comic book film since X-Men 2 in my opinion

Saw Hitchhikers Guide this morning - loved it! 
Not side-splittingly funny like the books can be (and like many reviews seem to be complaining!) but nevertheless a great movie. Not going to say more, don't want to spoil the good bits for anyone!
I hope it does well enough that they'll film The Restaurant next... and soon!

I saw the very first viewing of Hitchhiker's last Friday.
Loved it - didn't think Bill Nighy did the Slartibartfast character justice though - John Cleese would have been much better.
"Welcome to the shop floor" was wonderful and not quite long enough...I'd have had the same reaction as Arthur
Saw "The Interpreter" the previous Tuesday and "Sahara" the week before that.

Has anyone else seen the advert for a time-travel movie - trophy hunters going back to the Cretaceous and trying to bag themselves a T-Rex.
I know I have seen this before - a Twilight Zone episode perhaps? In that they all came back to find Nazis in control and they were shot.
It was originally a short story by Ray Bradbury but I can't recall the name

jurassic park?

Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor Posted May 2, 2005
No, the trailer was before "The Interpreter" last week.
I've seen all the Jurassic Park movies, it had the same T-Rex in the trailer though, I'd swear.
Scared the bejesus out of me!
J.Park wasn't a time-travel movie. They just genetically engineered the dinosaurs from 65-million-year old DNA & mixed it with a frogs.

I've seen "The Wedding Date" today - loved it, but then I'm a soppy old romantic so you lot probably won't like it
It's "Pretty Woman" with the sexes switched.
Damn good soundtrack as well, think I'll treat myself to the DVD when it's cheaper.

I thought the Matrix Revolutions was far better than Reloaded and well worth a watch, just don't be expecting greatness from it

Just seen "In Good Company"
Meh, it was alright. I don't really get the hype about Scarlett Johansson - her lips are too big and she's got this husky thick voice, and she's always looking to the ground....
But it fitted with my brain waves at the mo as I'm reading Jennifer Government, and there was a bit of the same anti-global corporation, money more important than human needs kinda thang going on.

Blues Shark - For people who like this sort of thing, then this is just the sort of thing they'll like Posted May 9, 2005
GB - the Bradbury story (one of his many, many masterful short stories) is 'The Sound of Distant Thunder'. Sounds like a very loose 'adaptation though.
On the various planes saw 'Elektra' (dreck), Miss Congeniality (slightly better), and '...Series of Unfortunate Events' (Trying too hard to be Tim Burton, didn't need Jim Carrey).
Whilst in the states saw trailers for Stephen 'Shaolin Soccer' Chow's new movie, 'Kung Fu Hustle'. Looks hilarious. Also Jet Li and Bob Hoskins in something called 'Unleashed'. Looks...interesting.
