This is not so much a full review or in depth analysis of the movies, but more of a warning system as to what I perdict for the movies success and what the movie will bring to the table. This is done with a little research and a large dose of my extraordinary wisdom.
For this time I will start with the top 5 at the box office right now.
The Dark Knight $155.3M (Review)
As I have just seen the movie, I'm not able to do up a prediction, though I'm sure even the most deluded of movie goers will say they had extremely high hopes.
I will say no more than that I was 100% satisfied with the movie and the only thing that you may want to think about before you go to it (because you know you will) is that it IS a darker movie than the first (Batman Begins) as it focuses on much more than just Batmans character this time around. Although it is not the perfect crime/ac movie
That being said I give my review of The Dark Knight as a 9 bowls o'mashed taters out of 10.

Mamma Mia! (Prediction)
Though it appears to be loaded with stars, it is still just an ABBA musical. Of course if you are a big fan of ABBA, or musicals in general, you may be able to stomatch it. That noted, I would still heartily advise dancing away from this one.
Only four heaps of the good stuff perdicted for this one.

Hancock (Prediction)
Although inital trailers of this movie idea showed promise it quickly turned ugly upon closer inspection. The idea of a super hero that has a bad attitude and could care less about saving people did seem perfect for Will Smith to play, but it looks like someone goofed between the idea and the finished product. As multiple sources have confirmed the film has been measured and found greatly wanting I see no reason to commit the same act of folly and do not plan to support such waste of talent.
A very disappointing 3 small bowls of potato delicious-ness.

Journey to the Center of the Earth (Prediction)
Yes, it is probably just an adventure movie with special effects and corny lines. It is also targeted at the younger audience, but so what? If it is good movie making, decent acting and brings a somewhat orignal idea with cool effects then that makes it alot better than 90% of the junk floating about these days. I'm not saying I want to see it, but by golly if someone does go see it, then the man of large portions of wisdom shall not mock thy reasonable choice.
6/10 Tater bowls

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (prediction)
Yes, most people seem to either not have seen the first one, or can't remember if did, but I believe this maybe one of those rare cases where the sequel is better than the original.
As of now I am solely basing this prediction on my extensive movie intuition (and a certain trusted review site), but I will go out on a limb and say that I expect.... 8/10 for mashed meat of the earth sumptuousness! <----- (If this was not a word before, it is now.)










Now don't let all this info go to waste, heed my wisdom and we shall all reap the rewards of a finer breed of cinema!

Well, i'll have to agree on most of that sumptuously plump wisdom, but i still have my disagreements.
Batman, I would agree.
Mamma Mia i would have given a half a potatoe... not mashed...
Journey... i read the book a while ago... i hope they dont ruin it.. and brendan fraser is only good in fur, and swinging from trees sooo.
Hancock, lives up to its name by being the male chicken of all superhero movies. Like... the chicken that crosses the road and gets whammoed by the Batman steam train...
And finally Hellboy II
.................................
1. i havent seen the first one
2. both trailers looked horrible
3. Ron Perlman is a bumbling ninny
4. A guy from Hell saving the world hmmmmm.
5. THE GUYS BODY IS A FREAKIN STYROFOAM BLOCK SPRAY PAINTED RED....
I will extremely discourage anyone from seing that movie.
One peeled potatoe skin out of 100 bowls o'mashed savoury goodness
But other than that, I thought your wisdom was much needed in the movie world... i only hope a tinch of that will mold onto Behn... and maybe David...
Keep up the good work!!
Such extrordinary wisdom!
Let's see...
I really want to see Dark Knight, though I'm slightly creeped by the Joker. Never liked clowns.
Mamma Mia...I heard that they don't have any ABBA music in it except at the beginning? Someone I know was very disapointed in it. I think I'd still like to see it though.
Hancock...well, yes I have to say it was a big let down. I went not knowing anything about it, either.
It could have been brilliant, but they went off on a rabbit trail and no one cared enough to chase it.
I just saw a trailer for Journey, and it looked decent. I'd go to watch it.
Hellboy 2...doesn't appeal, but it would probably be a slick movie for those that liked the first.
I like your review system by the way.
Mamma Mia!! I'm going to see this one just to get a good laugh and a walk down a musical memory lane... I really liked Abba once upon a time!
Hellboy 2 was fun... for sure that director has an amazing imagination, reminded me a lot of his work in Pan's Labyrinth
Well Josh, it looks like you will just have to join me when I rent both the 1st and 2nd Hellboys together. Then you may have to reconsider your comments.
The first one was probably only a 5-6, but I've forgotten the story from it.
I went to see Mamma Mia! and I really liked it, even if Pierce can't sing :)
But I am a fan of musicals in general. This one was loads of fun!
Mamma Mia WAS good for a few laughs (watching middle aged women in a musical!) and the music was really fun. I don't think you'd enjoy it one little bit, though. Storyline was oh so flimsy!! Four bowls is probably a generous serving.
need new post!
I can't believe you gave Mamma Mia such a bad review! Admitedly, it probably appeals more to the females but my Dad saw it and liked it (does that count for anything?)
Cuz Amy - I'm afraid that all that means is a great loss of respect for a certain uncle's movie taste.
I did mention that if you were a fan of musicals you would be able to enjoy this movie, I just wasn't aware there were so many Abba freaks out there.
Oh yes and for those who clamor for more postings, I will only say that I shall post when there is an adaqute reservoir of wisdomful experiences for me to draw from.
Not to mention the time it takes for me to translate the gathered raw wisdom into a post that mere commonfolk can comprehend and drink in.
Stay tuned.
Do you really think Journey to the Center of the Earth deserved six bowls of precious mashers?
