Last movie you watched......

watched "Lifeforce" last night. was pleasantly surprised...if you like aliens with a twist of vampire, it's worth a watch. and tobe hooper directed it...

 

Reviews for First Class are good for the most part. I hope to see it this weekend despite some of my concerns of the characters in Fox's version of 'First Class'. I guess you can't do a true First Class with Cyclops, Jean, Angel, Iceman, and Beast since most of them have already been showcased in the other films and wouldn't fall in line with Fox's timeline - age wise, etc.

Pretty interested to see what they do with The Hellfire Club since Fox missed an opportunity in X III to include it.

X-III The Last Stand and Wolverine were terrible IMO, Batman. If anything, it's wise to think both those movies don't exist in the Fox universe of X-Men or you'll be beating your head against the wall trying to make sense of the messed up continuity of these films now that First Class is out and is part of the timeline of all the films.

Anyway - It looks good.

Edit: That came off as pretty negative.. Ha. I'll make it clear that I hope this movie does well so we can see a second or third in this series leading up to X-I.

 

Why 'cause he's Jewish? Racist.




PS Anyone see the Dilbert comic strip this morning?

 

I guess I wanted to like it because I tend to like very downbeat stuff.
And I thought the Greta Gerwig was really great.
And I usually like Ben Stiller, even though I've disliked a lot of his movies.

I think the Greenberg character reminded me of myself, except for the Jewish thing.
That's probably why I disliked the movie.

 

If you've seen the first two X-Men movies, you've seen the good ones. X2 was on the other night. Forgot how much I like that movie.

There were bits of The Last Stand and Wolverine that I liked, but overall, incredibly disappointing movies.

 

I agree that X3 was a steaming pile of dog shit. But I enjoyed Wolverine. Probably, perhaps, because I swore off ever seeing it after X3 and wound up catching it on one bored night a long time after it came out on DVD. I had such low expectations that it wasn't that bad.

X3, by the way, remains the only movie in the franchise (First class not included) that I haven't, and won't, purchase.

 

That was a piece of work. Haven't seen it in years. Whatever happened to Steve Railsback?

 

Finally getting around to watch the movie with Sean Penn and Naomi Watts about Valerie Plame. The whole thing (the events the movie depicts, not the movie itself) still pisses me off, no matter how many years later.

 

Kung Fu Panda 2. Had to do the uncle thing, but still liked it. Even more so once I saw Jean Claude Van Damm had a role in it.

 

Just got back from X-Men and it was pretty good. Well-acted with a good story, though I thought it could have used a little more action. I think glowing reviews were a little overdone, as this was not one of the best comic book movies I've seen, but it was better than Thor.

 

Watched the HBO film "Too Big to Fail." I still don't know exactly what went down with the 2008-09 financial crisis — I've always had trouble grasping complex financial concepts — but I have a much better understanding of it now.
