Moral? Maybe that blind ambition will leave you old and alone with no company other than a pool of somebody else's blood. Not really beyond that.

Plot? Two blokes trying to screw the other over.

It's the performances that carry it.

And, for the record, I think Citizen Kane is rubbish.

Well the guy playing the preacher/priest (what type of christian religion was this anyway?) was pretty good in the sense I wanted to slap him silly every time he opened his mouth...

Indeed it is!

I have seen it about 4 times and still could watch it over and over again... Pixar has really done it this time. I haven't felt this urge to re-watch a movie since Toy Story (1 and 2).

And Wall-E is sort of a Transformer too... kind of... Anyway this warrants me buying his toy for my collection.

Watched Hulk the other weekend - quite liked it. Altho think the problem with any Hulk flick is that you are just waiting for it to kick off which makes the bits inbetween drag a bit.

Worth it for the fight at the end tho, "any last words" and that final cameo.

Thought that scene where the Hulk and the Abomination are charging at each other down the street was awesome.

Hulk was watchable - much better then Ang Lee's horrible version, but certainly not an Iron Man. But maybe it's because I just don't like the Hulk as a character that I did not enjoy it that much.

Liked the foreshadowing of the 'Leader' for a second episode, and the Abomination looked bad-ass, I'm also glad they did not kill him off - many movies make the mistake of killing off a potentially good character who could be brought back for sequels.

Not sure it did well enough at the box office to earn a sequel. Plus, IIRC, wasn't Norton pissed off or something?
