First big wow. Spider-Man 3. Big wow. I enjoyed it very much. Felt like Raimi trying to close everything he opened with the first movie. I thought he did it very well. Yeah, it had too much. I don’t think that was entirely under his control, thus his desire to leave the franchise. That’s a bit of speculation, but I think the evidence is on my side.
Second big wow. Hot Fuzz. Holy fuckin’ wow, this movie rocked me. If you haven’t seen it, go see it now before it leaves theaters. Spider-Man will be around for a while. In the meantime, go to the empty theater down the hall and see this movie. By far, the most thoughtful, well-made, and hillarious action movie I’ve seen since Die Hard.
Third big wow. An anonymous gift. This will be mine in two weeks. Just in time for the local LA con.
