I liked Spider-Man 2 better than Spider-Man, so I had high hopes for Spider-Man 3 - especially since I always liked Venom. I wasn't disappointed. The special effects were wonderful and the story was great.
I never read the comic books, so I don't know if they stayed in line with that and don't remember Sandman from the cartoon, but they did a great job with the Venom part of the story line. They also did a great job with the Spider-Man/New Goblin, Peter Parker/Harry Osborn dynamics. Having the competition between Eddie Brock and Peter Parker playing off of the Venom & Spider-Man fights was a nice touch. I don't remember much about Eddie Brock from the cartoon, probably because Venom is so much cooler, but in the movie it was a very interesting part of the story.
Definitely catch this one in IMAX if you can, since the special effects are worth seeing on the largest screen possible and in the best quality.

For complete info, see IMDb's Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! page.
A small-town girl wins a date with a big celebrity trying to clean up his image. The date goes better than anyone anticipated and all of a sudden the celebrity is acting like a changed man. Of course, the girl's best friend has issues with this, since he's always had a crush on her... It's a chick flick and a bit sappy, but it's a cute movie. Worth seeing if the cute romantic comedy is your thing. I enjoy them for what they are - totally light afternoon fun. If you can do that, then you'll enjoy this. If a movie has to have more meaning for you, forget Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!.
The cast is really great. I adore Nathan Lane and Sean Hayes and seeing them work together was great. They're such great comic actors!
