The Incredible Hulk

I have ceased to be amazed at what the F/X people can pull out of their hats these days.

Plus, Liv Tyler is as luvly as ever.

Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone- Okay, I sort of saw this years ago, but I was so bummed out by everybody harping on how great it was that even if it had been a verifiable explanation of how life arose I would still have said "meh" and moved on. Now I am better able to judge it on it's merits and I say-not bad. Kiddie level with some adult overtones. I have the lot of them queued in my Netflix account and I will defer judgement until I have seen the last.
