Don't get me wrong, though, I really like both of them.
Yeah, truth be told, I'm a sucker for both movies and if I'm flipping around channels and see either airing, I'll undoubtedly stop to watch. [Reply]

Same here, although I haven't seen either one of them on TV in forever. Both of them had very original stories, had likeable stars, and were well made.
Tron was kind of the Matrix before there was a Matrix.
One of my buddies was an usher at the local theater, and gave me the official Tron poster after it's run ended. I'm sure I still have it somewhere. I should probably get it framed. [Reply]

That was absolute perfection because it was an inner transformation.
The blaze in the eyes, the macho stride, the subtle mix of false bravado, confusion and barely masked terror, it was almost more like a documentarian filming an honest to god psycho s/he had discovered than an actress playing a Hollywood role. [Reply]
The movie itself is 'okay' and gets some stuff wrong, but Depp's transformation into Whitey Bulger was impressive.
I also thought Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln was (can't believe I'm going to write this...) sublime. Well, I'm impressed by anything he does, really. Might be the greatest living actor, IMO.
