Just a quick note...

Just got seeing The Amazing Spider-Man, and I've got to say, it was pretty good.  I went in with pretty low expectations, but I was impressed.  The story was a lot more emotional than any of Sam Raimi's movies, and I can't wait to see what they do with the story from here on out. 

Last week, I went and saw an advance screening of Hit & Run.  It was an okay movie, with great car chase scenes, but no real plot to speak of.  It's obvious that Kristen Bell & Dax Shephard are a real life couple...their chemistry is great.  But there wasn't much to the story, and there was no ending to speak of.  Parts of Bradley Cooper's character were great, but again, no real development. 

I'm probably going to go to the dollar theater tomorrow and catch some films that I didn't get to see when they were out, like Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter or Snow White & the Huntsman.  It all depends on what the GF wants to see. 

I'll post more in-depth reviews later, but I've been pleasantly surprised with the last couple of movies I saw.  And there's news that Disney might be rebooting The Rocketeer...that makes me excited.  It's probably one of my favorite movies from childhood.
