Go see Hellboy 2, it is much better than the first one. I did like the first one, but mostly because I like Hellboy’s character. Hellboy 2 is sitting at an 88% right now on Rottentomatoes.

Here’s some fireworks for you:

Wall-E is highly recommended. The story is simpler than the Incredibles, but I’d say I enjoyed the movie just as much. It is amazing how much character they can put into something that barely speaks. As usual the CG was a step up. I look forward to Pixar’s next.

Wanted was odd. I think I can only sum it up as well executed, but ridiculous. It’s getting hard to like action movies these days. -Spoiler- During the final rampage the main character shoots someone in the eye with a magnum, stabs the gun into his head, and then carries the body as a shield while still shooting through it. I just don’t feel like the target audience anymore. Am I supposed to watch that and go “Oh OHHH. THAT WAS SO BADASS I WISH I COULD DO THAT.”? -End Spoiler-

Killer Shrimp was very tasty. It is a shame that the Marina Del Rey location is closing. There are others though and if one is near you I’d recommend giving it a try.

And lastly, big band in Chinatown:
