Pride and Glory - short review
Short movie review: Once again the NYPD turns to be a corrupt swamp - worth watching 
The Plot: Four police officer homicides in New York City initiate an investigation eventually unveiling the ugly true about morale standards of the department. In the saga bad apples and heros of a multi-generation police officers family have to make difficult choices and face the full extent of their consequences…
Flickcritique says: Great cast with Edward Norton playing a cop named Ray and Collin Farrell as Ray’s brother-in-law Francis! Particularly, Colin recently outperforming in In Bruges does a great job again. I have to admit I became a fan of his despite initial doubts regarding his acting skills. The story is not too complicated but the screen play is rock solid and convincing. Little color saturation makes NYC look morbid, which matches perfectly the atmosphere of the movie. Me and my friends liked the movie, despite the disappointingly righteous, Hollywood-style ending. And despite the a bit too shaky camera 
Oh, one thing is gonna come up on moviemistakes.com for sure is Ray’s big but temporary disappearing facial scare No one is perfect they say and director Gavin O’Connor seems not to be a perfectionist either
Watch it if you liked: Cop Land (1997) with Silvester Stallone unveiling the truth about suburban cop idyll or The Departed (2006) with Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson playing a cat-and-mouse game.

The Incredible Hulk
In a nutshell: Radioactively contaminated fella still gets green and big, if he’s angry. This time it’s about an ex-girlfriend… predictable but with nice CGI. Go ahead and watch it, you are looking for a Marvel movie adaptation
The story: Bruce Banner found a safe hideout in South America, making his living from a McJob (not familiar with the term? Maybe you should read more Coupland books!), secretly trying to find a cure for his condition. Unfortunately, the US Army considering him a super weapon finds out and he has to run for his life again. Until, an elite solider decides to experiment a bit with Hulk’s contaminated blood, mutating himself into a villain Hulk, the Abomination. The rest of the confrontation is predictable… a nice destruction orgy follows 
Flickcritique says: Muuuuuch better then the first Hulk movie is the nicest thing I can say about this one. I assume Edward Norton’s decision to play the main character can be explained only by some sort of financial issues he’s facing these days. Otherwise, a great intellectual like him playing that part would be pure masochism. Liv Tyler playing the eye-candy girlfriend keeps on being sad and miserable, as she always was ever since The Armageddon. Seems to be the type of acting she’s into. The plot is predictable, which is one of the worst judgments I can make about a flick 
A small hint to a possible sequel with Hulk and the Iron Man together gives a flicker of hope for the future
Conclusion: Watch it if the following criteria matches: You are very bored. Weather is crap (think summer 2007 in Ireland). You have no girlfriend/boyfriend around/all your friends went on vacation. You run out of booze and your video game console is broken 
You might like it if you got excited about: Spider-Man (2002), Hulk (2003), Iron Man (2008)
