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.
