Films Reviewed: Hulk and Hollywood Homicide

Commentary: Why movies cost so much

Special Feature: Behind the scenes with Hulk

Regarding Hulk:

Matt: “The Hulk looks real and Ang Lee is able to rise (somewhat) above the source material. I am not a Hulk fan, but the movie works. Three stars.”

Aron: “The Hulk looks fake and the film is a case of familiarity. Two stars.”

Average rating: Two stars

Regarding Hollywood Homicide:

Aron: “I had fun. This is something new in the cop buddy genre. Three stars.”

Matt: “I loved the characters and the situations of a real estate cop and his actor partner. Also the first time I liked Josh Hartnett. Three stars.”(You can read Matt’s review of Hollywood Homicide here)

Average Rating: Three stars

Commentary: Why movies cost so much. An op/ed article in a North Carolina newspaper regarding the fees involved in making The Matrix Reloaded prompted local radio talk show host Neal Boortz to retaliate. The link to this article is here.
