Hype got the best of me with Batman Begins. Still frickin' great, though.
I moved Mr. and Mrs. Smith because it holds so damn well. I've seen it a couple times now and it's better with each viewing.
Cinderella Man is better than Seabiscuit, actually. It's not a great movie (even though it's kind of obvious, Howard had to develop the part about the public looking up to him. All of the sudden, we're seeing 2004793 people stand by Braddock, yet there's no build up), but the boxing scenes are thrilling. The final one was relentless, though. I was also wondering whether Howard and Co. could make his opponent look any worse. I guess the word Cinderella is the excuse for the non-realistic adaptation (something that could only happen in a fairy tale!), but...

Zingy, I don't understand some of your grades. Why did Fever Pitch drop from a B+ to a C+?  Movie was fun.

And, honestly, the more I think about it...the movie wasn't really THAT great. It was good, though.

Land of the Dead:
A mixed bag. It works as a graphic, disturbing action film. However, The Ring Two produced more horror than this one does.
The screenplay's fresh, the direction's stunning, the commentary's sharp. In fact, Land of the Dead showcases everything Romero's all about. Vivid camera work (wait 'till you see the fireworks, something brand new in Romero's zombie world. Also, there's some great shots that pan out from the river right before the zombies make it into Pittsburgh), witty one-liners, and a great message about the division of classes (although, this might be a little overdeveloped - Romero makes us hate Dennis Hopper's actions that elevate the differences between the rich and the poor so much that we want the zombies to kick some major bootay once they enter Fiddler's Green). It just doesn't click together as a horror film. He's focused too much on the zombies themselves (you'll see it. While not vastly different from the ones in the DOTD remake, they're still repulsive) that he's forgotten how to build up tension. Asides from a few scenes that are tense because of music (you know, the kind where you know a zombie's going to pop out but you have no idea when. Think Alien), there's nothing to fear. It's a solid action flick (in fact, one of the best), but it's no better than Jason Takes Manhattan when it comes to the horror.
There's some fabulous scenes. The party scene, in which Asia Argento is thrown into a fenced area while humans sit aside, freely betting on which zombie will get to the goods first, is disturbing yet eye-opening at the same time. Romero's not only focused on the obvious division of classes (again, it's a little overplayed...). There's a bunch of material that criticizes how humans (as an entire race) act. It's not just the rich - it's everyone. He's commenting about our priorities, our greed, and our passions. Even Riley (who's like the superhero in the movie) doesn't come out clean.
I'd give it a B+ overall (A as an action film, B- as a horror).
