Oh he knew. You don't marry a girl, bang her, mind wipe her then leave the world for a few years unless you know. Believe me.
I liked the music and the opening credits, and the bullets bouncing off his eyes.
I hated the kid plot. Hated. Hollywood ruins movies by throwing kids in films (especially scifi/action) and giving them ridiculous dialogue.
Lex Luthor was just kind of boring. He was outshined by previous incarnations, and by an earlier badass Zod.
Just for reference:
The Sandlot = perfect kid acting/dialogue movie

Olympus Has Fallen. Oh why did I put that on my queue? 
From Training Day to this? It should be titled: Fuqua Has Fallen.

Sandlot is one of my favorite movies, and I still use that quote.I'll always be thankful for that movie if only for one line:
That is like my favourite scene in that movie... I do the Spacey/Luthor WRONG to my friends sometimes... I think only one of them gets the reference at this point.
I liked Olympus Has Fallen. It was the right mix of goofy and crazy
Fun fact: the actor that played Smalls had ended up in an auto accident a few year ago. When the other driver got out and realized who had hit his car, he took advantage of the moment to say:I'll always be thankful for that movie if only for one line:
You're killing me, Smalls!
ABC's of DEATH: This is a bizarre collection of gory short films that, for the most part, don't offer anything worthwhile. The premise is simple. 26 directors were given a letter and freedom to do pretty much whatever they wanted. Well... "whatever they wanted" pretty much translates to nearly full on porn or just some of the stupidest shit you've ever seen. F is for Fart. And no I'm not kidding there. And whatever you think that short film could possibly be about based on that information, you'd probably be wrong. It's one of the most bizarre segments, right up there with W is for WTF. I never even found out what Z is for, because while we were watching the segment I started getting the death glare from my wife because it featured naked Nazi chicks fighting each other with a huge plastic dick and vegetables.
Now I just realized I gave Gas Bandit every reason to watch the movie.

If you liked ABCs, you should like the VHS films.
Didn't like either.
Just got back from Kick-Ass 2. It was just as good as the first movie, except for just a little too much shaky camera. It wasn't horrific like the Bourne movies, but still enough to distract from some of the fight scenes.
By the way, I can see the actress who plays Hit-Girl as Stature in case they ever do a Young Avengers movie.

i just saw oldboy for the first time without knowing anything about it
augh
auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
really interested to see spike lee's take

Oldboy is definitely the barometer test for a person's squeamishness. I don't get scared or creeped out easily, but even I was squeamish and uncomfortable at the end of that movie.
Got me interested to look at his IMDB, turns out, anything he's directed or produced, I didn't find the least bit interesting/entertaining. That's not even a dig at Charlie, that's just something I never thought to look up till this post.
Honestly, doesn't surprise me in the least now that I think about it that Charlie likes Spike Lee now that you've mentioned that film. It all makes sense.
Finally saw both Brick and Looper; both were excellent.
Brick was exactly what I expected and delivered like crazy. Refreshing to see a modern (I know it's nearly a decade old now, but you know what I mean) film noir, and surprising how well the tropes of that genre carry over to a movie about teenagers. High school is way cliquey; it works so well.
Looper on the other hand, was not what I expected at all. I'm not really sure what Idid expect, cause everyone said it's more than it looks like from the trailers and it's not going to be what you expect..... But I didn't expect that.
All the thumbs up for Rian Johnson.

Saw Thor, I liked it. Less actiony than I thought it would be but I liked how the beef of the plot focused on Thor and Loki as people rather than gods. Also, is it fair to call them Ice- GIANTS? Their tall I guess, but I wouldn't say giant.
Most giants in mythology (though I can't be certain about Norse as I'm not overly familiar) are depicted as anywhere from 7-10 feet tall. They're significantly larger than ordinary humans, but not godzilla.
Ravenpoe is mostly correct. The jotuns came in a variety of sizes and shapes, but were generally large (but not GIANT) humanoids. A lot of times, they were the same size as Asgardians (i.e. just big).
What made them jotuns was more their ancestry than anything else. The jotuns were descended from Ymir, while the Asgardians were descended from his cow (and then murdered Ymir and almost all his descendants).
And now I saw Avengers, DEAR LORD I wish I saw this in theaters.
Probably the "sick stick" scene. It was crude and disgusting, but nevertheless delightful.
I think a lot of it has to do with some people ONLY liking the original because a little girl was slicing up dudes and saying horrible words, but for me Hit Girl was part of a greater whole. I think for most people, Hit Girl was the only thing that they liked in the first movie.
