I just watched Hancock

It's not too bad it starts off great but, somewhere down the line it gets somewhat lame seeing as the plot suddenly just takes a turn into something strange it just suddenly rushed far into it without any warning. In all honesty it could have been improved mostly in terms of length. That way things can take a decent length of time for things to develop. The comedic moments are funny however its mostly dramatic in my opinion.

In the end its a great Idea that somehow was ruined, none the less I still enjoyed this movie.

As mentioned in the LTE I just watched:

Wanted

[img:300:464:35b46e1fe5]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/98/Wanted_film_poster.jpg[/img:35b46e1fe5]

Another movie with the theme of mindless violence... impossible after impossible feats are bombarded to the viewers the whole time... I know some movies have more outrageous ideas, but still the way they served it kinda doesn't sit well with me... it kinda makes me go, "that is complete bullsh*t..."

and a monster cliche twist just made me squirm...

but all that seemed insignificant just cause Angelina Jolie was there... Razz

This one lived up to the hype, I guess the death of Leger had something to do with why some people would see it but that doesn't take away from the awesomeness of this film. This was going to be Heath Legers breakthrough performance of his career if he were still alive... I guess his loved ones can be happy in the fact that his last performance on screen was also his best...

Crank

for a movie that was nothing but car chases and gun-fights, it was pretty boring. The music alternates between new age ultrasonic punk to really old pop-songs. I guess they were trying to be funny. A lot of the "jokes" were wicked lame and the acting was very low-budget, so to speak. Too much product-placement... the whole thing is like an 85-minute commercial for Red Bull. Yawn~

Just watched sanitarium or was it INsaniterium.... well what ever. It was boring in the beginning I was expecting some sort of twist though it would've been predictable... In any case the end was a bloody mess but, it was just flat out stupid in some ways I.E if I snapped of your arm would scream and keep screaming until you passed out and died. In this when ever something like that happens they scream for like 3 seconds and start having a conversation... Well to sum things up it was crap....

Flyboys

I thought it was gonna be wicked lame, but I was quite impressed... mainly with the WWI fighter plane dogfights. My only complaint was that all those pretty-boy actors all look the same to me, so at no point could I tell who anyone was or what their backstory was.

The DaVinci Code

I resisted all the hype that surrounded this movie for many years, but I finally got around to checking it out. I was a little mislead cause I thought the movie was more about the clues that DaVinci himself left behind for future men to decipher, but all the pieces of the trail were left by a modern guy written on DaVinci's works. And I hate Tom Hanks' hairstyle in this movie... so douche-tastic.

Tripping the Rift: The Movie

I liked the tv series when it was on the air... it's kinda like a raunchier version of Futurama, and oddly enough, even though it's all 3D CGI, the art in Futurama is still a hundred times better. Anyway, the movie was good just for the sake of watching it, but it wasn't anything masterful or even worth recommending. If you weren't a fan of the series, don't bother with this one. Oh, and like the Family Guy and Futurama movies... this is more or less just 3 episodes strung together and called a "movie"... you can easily see where the divides will be if and when they put on tv.

X-Files: The Movie 2

A pretty decent X-Files "episode"... whether or not I want to say it makes a decent movie is a little bit a stretch. There's really no action, nor any griping suspense. Given how they went through all this effort to revive the series nearly 10 years after the last episode aired, you would think that they would come up with something more epic, something more grand-scale. Something tells me this was only made cause Duchovny and Anderson were bored and wanted something to do.

DareDevil- Decent film hero film. Could have been better. The scene where the song Bring me to life was played was pretty nice~

Starship Troopers 3- LOL. I liked the first one and skipped the second one after seeing all its crappy reviews. The 3rd one, while not as good of a quality or budget as the first one, still worth a view. If you're viewing this, don't take ANYTHING in this movie serious or you will not enjoy it. Everything is satire from war to politics to even religion. And its not as gory as the first one.

And at the climax they introduced Mechs! They looked pretty nice but only get a short appearance. Damn!

Little Mermaid

I actually went and saw the ballet of Little Mermaid a week or two ago and that went with the original Christen Henderson version, and I realised then I hadn't seen the Little mermaid from beginning till end. Made me appreciate an old Disney classic.

V for Vendetta

In the near future, the war goes out of hand, spreading even to England. A political leader promises the people peace, if they are abide by his control and surveillance, Vendetta seeks to tell people the truth and what really happened, and people should not have to live under that one guys rule, where you can't even enjoy music.

I thought it was a very nice movie, intricately put together, I seem to be coming in contact with a lot of these types of movies and ideas, where the government takes complete control over the people.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist: Good movie with Kat Dennings, nuff said.

Sex Drive: Decent enough for a teen movie, but I liked it. You get a good preformance from James Marsden and am interesting take on the Amish with Seth Green.

War, Inc.: A John Cusack movie that I never really got to finish due to a bum disk.

Birds of America: A Mathew Perry movie. I like Mathew Perry's stuff, so it was pretty good for me.

I was actually disappointed with this movie. I think I should really give up on expecting anything from Games to Movie transitions. It doesn't go well... The trailer for this was misleading and I know I should have known better since I actually played the game... but still with that much focus on those flying thingies you might think they have some actual thing to do with the storyline... and the ending was just a shitty anticlimatic let down...
Can anyone out there point me to a movie based on a game that actually did good???
