The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Like the first Iron Man, Hulk started out strong. There were some decent story developments and exotic set locations. I particularly enjoyed the opening in Brazil, where I could understand what was being said in Portuguese. But like Iron Man, Hulk jumped on the formulaic bandwagon, which brought us to a showdown of an evil Hulk vs. good Hulk. Classic screenplay cop-out.

Rating: C

Survival of the Dead (2009)

Sort of a sequel to Diary of the Dead, but much better. Competent plot and direction. I liked the dueling family clans on the island sub plot. A worthwhile zombie rental.

Rating: C

The Caveman's Valentine (2001)

Samuel L. Jackson stars in a pretty strange thriller. The movie has a different feel to it than most. Sort of a "The Fisher King" meets "Shine" meets "8mm". A Sundance film worth checking out.
