| 01: Little Things that Make My Heart Cry.
So, after some soul searching and general goofing off, I've decided to return here because, well, I'm pretty damn bored. And well, the meaning of PlusOne has completley dissolved because now I'm just going to treat it like my bitch. With all that said, I have seen some movies recently.... Duh duh DUH!
First up is Batman Begins starring Christian Bale and that crazy bitch who decided Tom Cruise is still sane--Katie Holmes!
I make Spiderman look like a pussy.
Actually, this was a really good movie, and IMO (the only one that's important), it's the best Batman movie out there. Now, I know we can't all be superhero nerds like me, but the story and action are still really good reasons to see the movie. It always sticks with the theme and Christian Bale makes a great Batman. Well, better then Keaton at least. B+!
Dude, I AM Batman.
Secondly on our small list (because I have horrible hand-eye coordination problems and typing may very well give me a tumor) is The Longest Yard starring Adam Sandler and that black guy--Chris Rock!
This is how I felt during the entire movie.
Put simply, this movie wasn't very funny. You could tell it was a MTV movie becuase of the way it had loud hip-hop music. And it sucked. It was so predictable that I knew what was going to happen before I actually saw the movie. And it's based on a '70s Burt Reynolds movie!? C-
Third and not quite as bad as The Longest Yard is Marvel's Fantastic Four starring Jessica Alba and some other guys. Hey, am I the only one who noticed that there are no minority characters in this movie? Well, unless you count radioactive rock-men to be minority characters. I think we all know what this movie's about. In the end, the plot feels pretty thin, jokes aren't witty but I suppose are okay, and the climax is pretty lame. I expected more from the people that made Spiderman. I could write more about this movie, but I strongly feel that Batman Begins is a much better way to waste your money on a motion picture. Fantastic gets a not-so-fantastic C.
Fast paced action as only Marvel can provide. | | |
| PREVIEW: Don't see Blade after going to Star Wars.
I didn't think George Lucas had it in him. I didn't think that a Star Wars movie could be... well, be so mean. But after seeing Episode III in theaters, I can safely say that I will have scary dreams of mass Jedi murder for years to come.
Man, was it a great movie. Sure, the dialogue was awkward at best, but the action was amazing. And there was lots of it. And it looked awesome. And it wasn't pansy action either like in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, !SPOILER ALERT! but rather, it was intensly dark and disturbing. Wanna see Anakin get his legs chopped off? No need to draw those creepy comics in your mom's basement anymore. Wanna see Yoda and Palpatine go mano y mano in the senate building? Who the hell doesn't? Now, I could ramble about story, and special effects, and other boring crap, but Episode III is the best of the new Star Wars movies for one simple reason: if left me wanting more.
Then I saw Blade: Trinity. Jeez, what a mistake. I liked the last two Blade movies, but this one was really cheesy. The storyline was bland and random, the action was generic, the final fight was lame. I wanted to see Dracula chop Blade's head off but instead I see him [Dracula] getting killed by a virus?! WTF? Thank god my friend rented it and not me. Then again, maybe it wasn't so bad. I think the problem is that I saw it only several hours after the best movie in years.
Anyways, welcome to my new xanga, plusOne. I promise that it will soon become the "entertainment xanga" that I say it is. Until then, maybe my picture of the gorilla strumming the guitar will hold you down.
