A solid review of a movie I wasn't interested in before now, bookended with great comedy.
Nicely done, Bob!

was never interested in this movie, saw the trailer when seeing "the men who stares at goats" and all the trailer could invoke in me was an "Ehh, i can always watch taken again", and despite your favorable review i think i have just lost all interest in revenge-action-thriller-detective movies.
This was an especially good review, got quite a few laughs out of it.
Any chance you'll give in to popular demand if enough people profess their desire to hear the deconstruction of the Berenstein Bears? I've gotta admit, one of my favorite things about your reviews has to be the tangentially-related rants about underlying meanings.

Good little review. I guess I can say I'm looking forward to seeing it now (even though I'm gonna wait until it hits the local cheap cinema so I only have to give it's international box-office total a measly $2 CAD).
Great opening gag! I'm still giggling over it.

Since you used the word "cliche" like 40 times in reviewing the Book of Eli (which really didn't feel that way at all to me), and gave it a half-nod regarding Avatar (which was generous), I'm rather expecting you to be consistent in your criticism of cliches.
So why give a complete pass on The Military Industrial Complex as the big baddies here? That has been _done_to_death_. It was old in the 80s when this was a miniseries, and it surely hasn't gotten fresher with time. In fact, I'd be challenged to find a time when there wasn't a movie in the theaters doing the same thing. At least State of Play put an interesting spin on it.
Granted I haven't seen it yet, so maybe this has some interesting twist too. But I need another 50 tote-Bible-across-the-apocalypse movies before it's anywhere near the cliche that this is.

I was expecting this movie to be a winner. Mel Gibson may have a twinge of crazy in him, but the man is talented.
Mel Gibson...
Lost track of my point... anyway, it was funny but doesn't seem like my kind of movie. Funny last bit though. keep it up MovieBob!

this is probably my favorite video segment on this site. And to have megaman on there, I think the exact way they protray him in MM4(though do they do it for all of them?) was awesome.
I might look into it.
