X-Men Origins: Wolverine

The trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, played at this year's Comic Con, and as of now there's only a cam version of it out..but I'm assuming within the next couple of days the full HQ version will officially come out. Looks promising..sadly we have to wait til next Spring for the movie though.

I saw Gambit, Deadpool, Sabertooth, The Blob and someone else who I can't remember in the trailer. I hope Deadpool & Gambit are done right.

Doll Face

a pretty good short video about how far women are willing to go to achieve 'perfection' defined by the media/society.

The Dark Knight

Went to see The Dark Knight today, at 10:00AM on a Monday morning, and there were still a good 30-40 people who joined me. Strangely, the majority of the audience was older, ranging from 45-60. Anyways, enough about that, onto the movie.

I thought it was great. I don't know if I'd call it amazing just yet, but I have a feeling I will be after seeing it on Wednesday at the IMAX while I'm more awake. Since it was still early I was semi-sleepy while watching, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it a lot more when I see it at the IMAX when I'm awake. The storyline was well thought out, full of twists and turns, action, and let each character shine in his or her own light, both in character and acting. It kept me guessing on where they were going to take it, and what they were going to do with each character.

Heath Ledger did an amazing job as The Joker. Although the definition of 'psycho' was different when Jack Nicholson played the role, I think Ledger was able to take it to another level and outdo Nicholson. I think his role in this movie will be celebrated, enjoyed and appreciated even more after his passing. I was also surprised to see a few characters in the movie. But I tried to avoid any new/media/information about this movie before seeing it, so they might not be a surprise to others who have seen trailers/read up on it.

My only complaint about the movie is the length. Although I never found myself checking the clock (Although at one point I did wonder), or being bored, it still felt a little too long. For some reason part of me was left wanting an even bigger and grander finale, and I think this has to do with the length of the movie. The movie continues to progress throughout the entire 2 1/2 hours, and it made me want the movie to go out with a bigger bang. (Not to say that it was a bad ending, though)

This movie is in the process of breaking records already, and it's only been out for 3 days. It grossed $158,355,000,000.00 during its first three days, and beat Spider-Man's $151.1 million opening-weekend record. it sold over $18 million on the midnight showings alone, which is more than some movies debut at for the whole weekend. There were seven Thursday midnight showings at one theater here, and by Tuesday night six of them were sold out. Worldwide it's at $199.655 million. But after all the hype, all the trailers and all the numbers, is it worth it? My answer is Yes, definitely. It has edged its way into my list of favorites already, and is definitely worth your time and money. I highly recommend this movie, and I feel it's a must-see in theaters to get an even better experience.

Pick ups

Bought another shelf for the shoes, bed risers (not shown) and a few other random things:







Also changed my closets up, more to come on that when the project is done. Hopefully I'll have a new desk soon too :O

New shoe shelf!

I bought two stackable shelves to use as a shoe shelf today :) They turned out fairly well..i wish they had just a little bit more breathing room heighwise, and i also wish the wood was black, and not 'espresso,' both for $12 a shelf they were worth it. I'm gonna get one more on Thursday so I can put more shoes in it :O

Pick ups.

Movies

With school all done for the term, my days off from work are actually real days off. I don't have to worry about homework, studying, or going to sleep early to get ready to sit through classes the next day. So today I went to the mall and ended up seeing two movies to stay out of my hot apartment.




This movie turned out better than I thought it would be. It's a fast paced fun action movie that was filled with a good amount of humor. Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman did a good job, and so did Common..even though he only had a few lines. Two things I didn't: The actor of the younger kid, and the end. If they had someone else play the kid I would've like the movie a lot more. I'm not sure if I didn't like the story of the end, or the execution..but something about it I didn't like. But despite those two fairly big factors, I still enjoyed the movie overall. Worth the watch. Watching in theaters will also make this movie a lot better.


Another good movie. Like Wanted, the more trailers I saw for the movie, the lamer I thought it would be. But both movies managed to prove me wrong. This isn't a kids movie at all. Will Smith added another notch to his belt with this movie. This movie is filled with everything from action to humor to drama. Will Smith, Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron do a good job letting the audience in and becoming emotionally attached to them. Even though they're two completely different types of movies, I think this one was better than Wanted. This movie also gets bonus points from me for using The Roots in the soundtrack. Worth the watch in theaters, even though the theater atmosphere and big screen don't really add much to the movie.

Now I just need to see Wall-E and maybe Get Smart.

This summer has been filled with good movies so far...These two, Iron Man, Hulk wasn't too bad, I'm hoping Get Smart is good, Wall-E has gotten nothing but good reviews, and there's still more movies to come..Dark Knight, Hellboy 2, Righteous Kill Pineapple Express, Step Brothers and some more I can't think of :O
