Akira's pretty epic, and the manga's even more epic. er. ish. I've read the whole thing on my PC, which isn't just imho. The movie's a lot more abridged, and if I recall correctly, the manga continues on for a long while after the ending of the anime. It's a shame it (i.e. the version I read) was almost fully black and white though, :/. But I'm sure they've made a colored version by now. If not, they should.
As for me, I watched Taken last night. Typical Steven Seagal movie* except without Steven Seagal and with a subplot against people trade.
(* The typical Steven Seagal movie can be summarized as follows:
Steven Seagal, an ex marine slash ninja slash martial artist slash cook, gets his daughter slash wife slash cousin murdered slash kidnapped, and takes revenge by killing / incapacitating several handfuls of nameless baddies with various methods. The choice of killing or incapacitating depends on the rating of the movie.)

,.. Did Dacon just use the word "cutest" ?
Saw Paradise Now, by Hany Abu-Assad, and the short documentary Born into Brothels.
Some good stuffs.

I used words when they're applicable, it's what people do.
That film was surprisingly entertaining, save for one sappy scene that went on too long.

Only went in to see the credits 
As well as Leon being badass. I skipped the sappy scenes all in all.

Saw Valkyrie after hearing it was good (although I had my reservations about Cruise being in it, thinking he's going to be all OTT and everything) and to my suprise it was good! (And no he didn't spoil it.) Based on a true story about an assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944 lead by Colonel Claus von Stauffenburg.

Wall-E has that effect on people.
That said, I just watched Superman Returns. I didn't realize it was a sequel of sorts to the previous movies. I thought it was supposed to be a retelling of the story from the beginning. Wasn't as bad as I was expecting but not the greatest movie ever made, either.
The actor who plays Superman sure is hot, though.

What's wrong with that? I like the old superman films but you can't bring back reeves and he made it his own but time too move on with it.

Yeah. they need to make it darker and hopefully make a nice, decent cross over with Christian Bale.

Not gonna happen.
And Superman does not need to be "darker". The film needs to eke out it's own identity, not copy what made Dark Knight good.

Wish it did though. I can imagine the scale of conflict between Bale and Routh. Comic style. I can always dream, right BB?
they claim that the remake will try to emulate it's realistic aspect of Supes like Batman Begins did to Batman. Personally, I think it's better if they made it unique but with better enemies to challenge the man of steel instead of Baldie all the time. Like Mr. Mxyzpltk or Doomsday. my uncle's hoping Doomsday's gonna appear in a movie one day and not that shitty smallville nonsense.

Recent reports? I read old ones they wanna make it realistic in tone of Supe's nature as some "angry god" or some shit.
