@Darkweave: I think Shootem Up would have done better if they hadn't done such a piss poor job of naming it. I get the joke, it is basically every cliche from action flicks, but seriously, that is almost as dumb as calling it "Action Movie." I did really like the flick though, and Giamatti did a great job.

As far as movies about rocket packs go, "The Rocketeer" is a guilty pleasure of mine, so I hope this one can tap into the 8-year-old-kid-fantasy-of-flying that almost all of have probably had.

I must have that. Now. I won't go flying with it, but I will jump over crowds. All it needs is a reliable pressure gauge/watch attachment.

I have three seconds to reach a safe place! Hmm, that flag-pole looks sturdy...

I loved Paul in Shootem Up! This guy is really showin some true versatility in his roles. I'd definately see this, if its PG-13 I'll take the kids :)
