I was a marvel snob dont know much about dc comics and the batman storyline but wasn't bane break batmans back causing him to go into hiding for a few years?

That seems like a good storyline for Nolan's version of batman.

Other villains like the penguin, riddler, or mr freeze sound really lame to me.

I'd love to see Nolan's take on The Penguin--on the other two, I'll agree.
I'm far more familiar with the excellent Batman cartoon when I was a kid than I am with the comics.

I remember it being rumored a long time ago that Philip Seymour Hoffman was going to play the penguin. I would have been on board with that.

Clayface would have been fun. And bringing in a top-flight actress to play Harley Quinn, given the popularity of Ledger's Joker, could have been really interesting (and a better way to introduce a Super girl, IMO). I'm cool with Bane, though Penguin (PSH? yes please) would have been my first choice.

PSH as the Penguin would have made Hiroshima look like not the bomb.

Lukewarm review for "Brave"--disappointing.

International trailer for Django Unchained - a little different from what was released here.

From what I've seen here, I seriously encourage all male (and female members for fortification) to rent/watch Miss Representation.

"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is getting poor to bad reviews, but I still want to see it. Maybe because it's the only summer blockbuster this year that isn't a sequel or a prequel or a reboot.

SomethingAwful, home of the absolute worst movie reviews on the internet, gave it a rave review.

Yeah, the bad reviews almost threw me off from going, but honestly, it was a lot of fun.

Agreed. The movie was somewhat predictable at times (especially towards the end), but was a lot of fun. Tons of violence and gore, but not Saw-esque gore where it's horror movie-like... More like the fighting/gore that you would see in something like 300 or The Immortals.

A nice fictional twist in what would have otherwise been a historical biography of Lincoln.

I'd say it's probably my second favorite movie so far that I've seen this summer behind The Avengers.
