Iron Man 2 - Pretty boring. Now before anyone says "Stark was really that eccentric in the comics and there were whole issues dealing with that alone", your not the first person to tell me, but do we really need a movie that shoves it down our throat for most of the running time? By the time it got to the action scenes I just didnt care anymore. I wouldn't even mind the lack of action if the plot was good, but there really wasn't anything to keep my interest, as the funny rapid-fire banter got old quick. The villian also seemed pretty underdeveloped, especially since his slightly exagerated motivation was revealed much later than the start of his so called 'revenge'.
I even saw it at IMAX. Sound a video quality were amazing but if the film doesn't do anything for me there I doubt i'll be buying the blu-ray.
A movie that was MUCH MUCH better is:
Kick-Ass. What an amazing movie. Its a near real life take and play on what it takes to become a superhero, dealing more with the consequences (getting stabbed and beaten up). I loved how it started as a comedy, to black comedy, to action/drama.
I was really surprised how invested I felt at the warehouse rescue scene.
The movie also had a slight Tarantino vibe to it with the re-use of other peoples music, which might turn some people off, but I thought they were excellent choices for the scenes and my heart was pumping as a result.
Also, I love Sunshine, 28 Days Later and John Murphy's soundtracks for those movies so it was an awesome bonus.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I was about halfway through reading the book, and last night, I realized I had the avi on my old harddrive, so decided to watch it.
It kinda got on my nerves in parts, being slow or the drug-induced actions were frustrating, but the effects were very well-chosen, and I laughed when I saw that Terry Gilliam had directed it xD Spot-on!
In the Company of Men
Story of a complete bastard and another, relatively less so, complete bastard. They both decide to date a deaf co-worker just so that they can hurt her feelings somewhere down the road. She ends up falling in love with the complete bastard. The relatively less so complete bastard ends up falling in love with her. Everyone ends up having their heart broken, except the complete bastard who actually profits out of the entire affair.
That about sums it up. It was a decent watch.
That sounds horrible...Originally Posted by Jings
In the Company of Men is a fantastic film. Good choice.
Whisper of the Heart.
A polished gem's life cut short.
saw 2 movies last night..
Moon (2009)
I'm fascinated by movies with a very small cast and I'm also very fascinated with movies with a very small set. This movie had both, so that was awesome.
8/10
Kick-ass
Awesome! I'm not a fan of superhero movies in general, so I really enjoyed this one. Greatness. Great soundtrack too, I rarely notice soundtracks in movies so that's gotta count for something.
9/10
2012
Saw this on Saturday. I liked it quite a bit. John Cusack has always been one of my favorite actors
Alice in Wonderland
What an awful film. The only saving grace about it was Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. As much as I'm getting tired of the Burton/Depp/Carter menage a trois, I have to admit that both Depp and Carter were perfect for their roles. And they were both captivating while on screen. Everything else was a hot mess.
4/10
The Breakfast Club 6/10
It was an ok movie, but the way it ended was just sooo cheesy and unrealistic.
When we dance, it looks just like Fire.
When we sing, it sounds the same tone.
Robin Hood was almost unbearable. Robin Hood didn't become Robin Hood until he was like 50? Really? Russel Crowe is officially the most boring man ever. Lady Marian has embarrassed my entire gender. The merry men and Prince John were the only entertaining characters in this movie.
IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE AND YOU ARE A SAD PERSON.
Oh yeah, I saw Zombieland yesterday, too. It was stupid to the point that it was funny. Not funny enough to have me rolling in laughter, but funny enough that I wasn't bored. 6.5/10
Whisper of the Heart was so much better.
No, I love him. :kaocry2:
He looks like an older version of Jeremy.
Don't kid yourself. I'm a Tim Burton and even I admit it was horrible. Not that I was expecting it to be amazing anyway.IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE AND YOU ARE A SAD PERSON.
