We bought a Zoo

Good heartwarming movie.... lots of good messages... borders on the not kid movie as my son, who is 7 got a little bored at times. My daughter who is 18 enjoyed it as my wife as well. Worth the matinee pricing... Talks about lots of issues of letting go after a family tradegy... something I think a lot of people can identify with... good job by all characters...
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Knee slapping funny. One refreshing thing about this movie is that it didn't try to be PC. We are adults and understand when someone is trying to make you laugh versus be mean about something. There were so many funny parts I will probably have to buy the DVD to see it again. Tom Cruise finally does not play himself and was perfect in his role. Not sure how Ben was able to get all these folks on one movie but hats off to one of the funnier movies this year.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Hulk
PostedJune 16, 2008

Unlike many folks, I liked the original Hulk. Even though they said it was not a sequel, I found they did a nice job of "following" the old one and continuing what happened. I initially questioned the roles of Edward Norton in place of Eric Bana and Liv Tyler for Jennifer Connely.
Thought Edward Norton did a great job but Liv was OK. While E N comes off as a cerebral character suffering with his inner green monster, Liv's glasses didn't necessarily give off the scientist vibe and thought the dialogue between the characters was a bit teeny bopper. However, the action is why you go to a movie like this and I thought it was worth the time spent.
The Tim Roth character added a nice twist and a good arch villian. My only complaint if any is having to pay $10 a ticket for my daughter and I. I am quickly reaching the point where I will wait for a movie like this to come out on DVD and pay $5 for the entire family to watch it at home. At least I saved almost $15 dollars smuggling in M&M, Twizzlers and a couple of drinks which would have almost set me back another $20 bucks. Thought the Robert Downey, Jr. /Iron Giant tie-in ruined the ending and was a bit cheesy.
Recommend the movie if you want some good ole fashion action hero fun.
