Also, with the announcement of further details about the Dr. Strange movie upcoming, what are people's thoughts and feelings about Marvel announcing not only will his movie not be an origin story, but that they are not doing origin stories for movies going forward?

That's pretty good for a 15 year old that isn't really into the genre all that much. In fact he has gotten more into (somewhat) similar stuff since watching that movie. I would have loved almost any other major or minor actor playing Keanu Reeves' part, but they limited his role enough to get over it.
Yeah, he barely spoke, which helped a lot.
I am not a Keanu hater; he just didn't fit the role that well. For one thing, he is a little old to be playing the part he did. For another, he doesn't look remotely Japanese. [Reply]

That would have been a great part for a relatively young foreign actor. I don't know...maybe it wouldn't have been made, or it wouldn't have gotten the same budget, without a "name" in it. The rest of the cast carried the film nicely though. [Reply]
Currently watching a most excellent flic on TNT... The Island with Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johannsen, Sean Bean, Buscemi and Djmon Honsou.
Pretty sure its the heaviest subject matter you'll ever see Michael Bay involved with... in the not too distant future rich people are growing clones of themselves for spare organs, skin transplants etc. Scar Jo and Ewan are clones who escape and go in search of their "sponsors".
Very good movie, an easy 3 of 4 stars... the only thing keeping it from 4 for me is that in true Bay style a few of the action sequences strain credulity, but still an excellent movie.
Oh! and Tig from SOA in a role as a scientist... you'd hardly recognize the guy, the mark of a great actor. [Reply]

It didn't get that great of reviews, but I thought it was a lot better than the people who panned it as a dud. At the least it's definitely worth a watch. [Reply]

Scarlett wanted to do a nude scene in that. she thought it was unrealistic to keep her cloths on. Bay wanted PG-13 so he refused.
Also, this movie is a pretty big rip off of a MST3K movie.
