Sure, it suffers from the same climxz every zombie movie seems to have, but

making them smart enough to call in for more 'meat' was hilarious, and how the gas spreads was clever as well.

Good, low-budget shlock.

Thats funny cause I recently watched...

Return of the Living Dead 3

5.5/10

Its probably one of the better ROTLD films.

It was a good revenge thriller but I thought it kind of dropped the ball on the whole becoming what you hate/the monster theme. I also thought the movie was conflict on whether it wanted to be a serious thriller or very dark comedy. It definitely worked better when it had it's tongue in it's cheek especially when it came to the main character being an unstoppable super agent. Overall, I was entertain and definitely one of the better movies I've seen this year.

X-Men First Class.

Absolutely brilliant. Finally a prequel that retroactively makes the original films (Singer's films at the very least) better.

5/5

Thanks. That simple emoticon. It means a lot to me. My soul went into that. I was just overcome with this depression and a sense of shame. The post was originally twice as long, but totally incoherent. It doesn't matter though, because writing it was incredibly therapeutic.

Great that you liked it.

And what did you think of Wolverine's cameo?

X-Men: First Class

I liked it alot more the second time. Especially the first half, which I wasn't into as much as the last time. I love all of Erik's scenes. And just the whole suave 60's setting. Bacon seemed even better this time. His opening scene is still one of my favorites. It gives off a very Tarantino vibe. In terms of what happens and how and why they split up, it's done perfectly. Like dude love mentions, it makes Singer's films even better now. Like when Xavier mentions to Logan in X1 of how Erik became angry and thought humans could never coexist with mutants. Yet this film stands on its own as a great standalone and hopefully the start of another set of films. I want to see more of MacAvoy and Fassbender as these characters and where they go. As they make work for what I've always found fascinating of the dichotomy between the two characters. Everything not only enhances, but adds as well.

I still love the first two more, but I finally can have a trilogy watching now.

Pretty much my feelings. Loved the first act, but it started to fade from there. And the ending...meh. I think most movies should echo some characteristics or development from the first shot(s),

but the music and filter were too cheesy. That road traveled now filled by another man...wah wah wah. I loved the ham of the monologue funeral, but those last few minutes...too much.


Also, do you know if the wife's head roll was a reference to anything? Seemed pretty familiar...

Really? because I thought it did the opposite especially when it came to the end of the film.

Just saw 4 new movies for 2011.

Black Death - The story, production, setting and lead actor enticed me to see it. Despite the reviews that I've read about it (Partly due to the ending) i was very satisfied with the movie. Surprised by a couple of scenes it lead me to appreciate the movie all the way to the end.

P.S.. This movie is not for everyone. People of strong religious beliefs should probably stay away...

Kung Fu Panda 2 - Just as good as the first. Even though you knew what the outcome was going to be i still thought it was a decent movie. The villain really had cliche emotional issues but i still though he was bad ass. The voice actor was a great choice as well whomever he was...

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - I don't really have much to say about it. I liked it just like the last 3 but it felt a little long. I think its a very well done series so there isn't anything else i could say other than i was satisfied with this installment in the series. Looking forward to the next one...

Vanishing on 7th Street - Going into it i didn't know what to expect, which is what attracted me to it because the commercials made it seem like some kind of crazy sci fi movie. It had a great a great start but when it got to the very last scenes it slightly disappointed me because it reminded me of the ending to 'Knowing'...

Dave (1993). 9.5/10 Great movie.

Hadn't seen it in years and it still holds up so well, that's like the last great ivan reitman movie. no strings attached was ok, i'll give him that, but when i saw kevin kline in it i was reminded of how awesome he was in Dave. so i went and rented it and ended up watching it twice over the weekend. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for some lighthearted escapist comedy. A great balance of slapstick, romance and drama with a classic 90's James Newton Howard score that was used for previews in hundreds of movies since. And you probably never knew it came from Dave first.
