Film 258/365, Day 283/365 – Hulk

It’s not nearly as bad as they would have you believe.  I think Ang Lee did a pretty good job of bringing the famous comic book hero to life whilst maintaining the feel of the original comics.  It has lots of action and a strong story, only criticism is that it probably went on too long.


Synopsis:  Scientist Bruce Banner is doing some experimental research on nanobots.  An experiment that goes horribly wrong awakens Bruce’s hidden past and transforms him into the Hulk, a creature of limitless power.  Something that the military are very keen to get their hands on.


The best thing however to come from this film is this joke as told by Stuart Lee about a conversation he had with Ang Lee, hilarious!

Film 242/365, Day 256/365 – Warrior

Incredible!  It’s like having a work out whilst watching a film, I felt every blow and tensed for each hit.  The story itself is excellent and the characters are all quite believable.  But the thing that really sets this film apart from the others is the fights.  They are so intense that you feel like you are in the cage with them.  I loved it.

Synopsis:  Two brothers from a broken home end up on a collision course which will end in the Cage!  They both have their own problems and they both have something to fight for, but they both can’t win!
