Deadpool movie

Why won't they just make it already? They did 8 minutes of footage of just deadpool shooting people's faces off! I want to see this footage right meow!

In Time

I bought the movie In Time but I haven't had time to watch it yet. I hope it's good I am going to check out this weekend.

Limitless

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219289/

Bradley Cooper performance was over the top in Limitless. If theres any favorite Bradley Cooper movie, it would be this one. Limitless is about a low life loser named Eddie who can't complete anything he starts. He loses everything he once had until he runs into his ex girlfriends brother. He gives Eddie a pill explaining it will make his life a lot easier. Eddie takes it home and tries it out. Next thing Eddie is seeing everything clearly and was able to focus on his life. He was able to finish a book within four days to working on Wall Street. All he didn't know was once you take the pill you need to stay on it or you will die. So now Eddie is on limited supply and needs to find a way out. 

The way the movie is filmed and edited was awesome. They used many different transitions and camera lenes to give you the illusion of what the character is seeing. I enjoyed this very much because it gave the POV shot more watchable. Also the pill, I wish it was real. It makes a person focus. That would be so useful for A.D.D. I think the world will be so much better with that pill. Then if you want to kill someone just lock them in the room with no supply. Honestly, the whole concept of Limitless is one of my favorites. Being able to control your body with just one pill and produce so much knowledge is great. I am sure if we had that pill before watching Inception, it would make the movie make more sense to us. We will come out of the movies and build that same machine and do Inception on everyone.

X-men: First Class

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1270798/

X-men: First Class hit theaters last weekend. I have to admit, I had no intentions on seeing this installment to the X-men series. Its a prequel and I already knew what to expect. I am a comic book nerd. What still surprised me was how well each character was done. Marvel finally got their own comic book heroes exactly how they should be on the big screen but with a few exceptions. Professor X is played by James McAvoy (who also stared in the movie Wanted) was awesome. McAvoy and Michael Fassbender (Magneto) was my favorite actors throughout the film. Who ever did the casting role did a good job on this movie. Jennifer Lawrence (Raven)  could've been better maybe if they through in a nude scene I would have enjoyed her more (you know maybe show some butt cheeks), other then that I found her useless. In the credits of the movie there were ton of crew members that worked on her appearance, ridiculous. I still give them credit on a nice job they did though. Then there was Beast. He looked terrible in this movie and was definitely not played correctly.

The movie had a few appearances that people might not have recognize in the scene where Professor X is searching all over the world for other mutants like him. They had children in the scene who were Cyclops, the blob, and etc. I thought it was pretty cool to have. 

The CGI/Visual Graphics was superb. I felt it was real as possible in reality. It was hard to tell what scene was CGI. I hope to see more work on from that crew soon. I believe it beat Avatar but thats just my opinion.

I've heard a lot of reviews before coming in on seeing this movie and people compared it to The Dark Knight and I must say, X-men First Class does not compare to The Dark Knight. I prefer The Dark Knight much more then this movie. I am more of a Marvel guy but you can't compete with Batman. Also, I did not catch Stan Lee in this film. If anyone knows when he appeared in this one. Can you let me know?

Bridesmaid

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1478338/

Bridesmaids was hilarious. I was spectacle about this movie thinking it wouldn't be my type of a movie but it really pulled through. The jokes are more for women but delivered that anyone can enjoy them but children. This is definitely not a child's movie. Bridesmaids isn't about the princess getting prince charming. It's about two best friends almost being torn apart because of life changes and getting over the path of destruction that separates them.

Kristen Wigg played the main role Annie, who is the maid of honor or refereed in the movie maid of dishonor because she doesn't want to see her best friend move on from her. Annie's life is a mess and doesn't know how to connect the pieces. She is happy for her best friend getting married but doesn't want things to change either. Kristen really plays this role as if the character was really her and gets in to trouble everywhere she went. She has me laughing throughout the whole movie. She really let herself go through many hilarious situations and gave her all doing it. I am looking forward to more movies involving her. There was two weeks of improvising and it did great for everyone.

I enjoyed this movie a lot and encourage anyone to go see it. A lot of people are comparing this to the Hangover, I do not. This movie is more like Super Bad to me. Just two friends overcoming life situations.

Jill Clayburgh

(1944-2010)

This was her last film she was in. I am glad it did well.

Hangover Part II

 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1411697/

The wolf pack is back and this time Stu is getting married. He tries to play it safe and not have another disaster happen before his wedding day but it seems that destiny brought everything into place, where he wakes up with his buddies in Bangkok. This time he didn't loose Doug, he lost his future wife's little brother Teddy. From there they are stuck figuring out the clues on where Teddy is and what happen the previous night.

In my opinion, Hangover Part II is exactly like the first movie. If you can put aside the plot being exactly the same and enjoy the situations the characters are put into then you will enjoy the movie all over again. It's kinda of like a reboot. I still had a good time watching it. It made it easier for me to enjoy the jokes because I knew the formula already in the movie on how the characters will progress to the end, just didn't know what obstacles they had in their way. Ed Helms was more involved in this movie because of the wedding and I thought he was hilarious. His character gets into worst problems then the last movie.  I also liked how the movie added more graphic content it showed that they aren't afraid what people think. They really went over the top with this movie and the cast definitely gave awesome performances by all of them. I can not digress enough how well this movie was done. If this movie came out first I think it would've been did much better. The only thing that ruined it was the plot being the same. I am sure they could have done something different to it.

The movie had appearances from Paul Giamatti and Mike Tyson, both were very good in the movie. Mel Gibson was suppose to be in the movie as a tattoo artist but then was dropped due to the cast and crew and he was replaced by Liam Neeson but Liam couldn't come due to scheduling issues. The tattoo artist was played by an unknown actor.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Pirates of the Caribbean is back with a whole new film opening up this Friday May 20, 2011. Will this end Thor's #1 streak in the box office? I think so. When Pirates of the Caribbean comes to theaters raging horny Johnny Depp fans come to theaters with pockets full of cash. This time Disney has Rob Marshall directing "On Stranger Tides". Will Rob do the job for Disney and delivery a blockbuster hit? The films he directed before was Annie, Chicago, and Nine. I guess Captain Jack Sparrow will have a nice dance number in this movie. So count on a different feel for the movie.

The last three movie budgeted at $865,000,000 and gross revenue at $2,681,440,232. With those odds I would create two more movies. Oh wait, thats what they did. Two more Pirates of the Caribbeans will be releasing in years to come. Check out the trailer and stay tuned for a review this weekend.

Some fun facts:
Johnny Depp said he agreed to star in this, before "there was a script or anything".

While filming in London in October 2010, Johnny Depp received a letter from a local 9-year old schoolgirl, telling him her classmates needed help to 'mutiny' against her teachers. He turned up with almost no warning at the school in full Sparrow outfit in support.

Penélope Cruz was pregnant throughout production, but it wasn't noticeable until September, 2010. As Penélope's baby bump grew, it caused some difficulties in wardrobe, so the producers enlisted the help of Cruz's younger sister, Mónica Cruz. According to reports, Penélope filmed the close-up shots, while Mónica doubled for her in the long-distance scenes as the wardrobe department had struggled to hide the pregnancy.

Final Destination 5

Thats right folks, Final Destination is back with its 5th installment to the series. Every one knows after the 4th movie the rules change. We should be in for a real treat. Eric Heisserer who wrote the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street is the writer for Final Destitution 5 and Steven Quale who helped out as a Second Unit Director in James Cameron (Avatar, Titanic) movies is directing this one. I think the style of the movie will be better then the last one. I honestly only look forward to this franchise because of the unique way of dying.  I am a torture porn fanatic. So how badly the Final Destination plots can be, the killing still has me eating my popcorn going "Holy Shit! that was cool, who knew a nail gun can do that?". The best part about Final Destination is no matter what the characters can not cheat death. So you know your going to see a lot of blood and they seem to get better every movie. So with new talent brought on to the plate, I wouldn't cancel this movie out just yet. The last one was really bad but they have high expectations for this one that they signed for Final Destination 6 and 7 which they are filming back to back. So I am thinking the next film will have a really nice long story. Final Destination 6 will probably end in a nice cliff hanger. 

Here is the teaser trailer for Final Destination 5.

Thor

Thor

 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800369/

So last night I saw the movie Thor. I am a big Marvel fan and let me tell you this Thor was great. It was exactly how I expected it to be. Chris Hemsworth hits the character right on the tip of a nail. The acting was marvelous. See what I did there. If not let me explain it for fun. This is a Marvel movie and I just called the acting MARVELous. Natalie Portman, I have seen her in a couple of movies lately and her acting just gets me every time. She is marvelous The villain was a different kind of a villain he wasn't 100% evil. He just wanted to make his foster father proud and make him king. He would not stop his rampage until he got his way and who wouldn't espacially after you find out your adopted. The guy wasn't even mad either about being adopted, he still acted like he was one in the family. I thought that was interesting and marvelous.

I am not a Thor fan but this movie makes me want to go pick up some Thor comics and get excited for a sequel. But I did find some problems with the movie and if you guys don't know me by now, I find out problems just for the hell of it. I was not impressed with the way Thor's universe looked. Even though it might looked that way in the comics, I believe it could have been more detailed. The action wasn't enough. Thor is suppose to be bad ass and he's not even in enough action. He's not even a trouble maker. He gets exiled to Earth and he makes friends no problem. I would've had him kick some old mans ass and take candy from a baby. I mean come on your father just banned you from home. Start making a new name for yourself. Become King of Earth and get revenge. Then become good because you feel bad and you want to bang Natalie Portman. That would be my Idol. I would get a Thor's name tattoo in a heart on my chest. But do not get me wrong the movie is good. This is just me ranting on.  I am difficult to please.

Also If Marvel Studios really want to impress me, they will invest in Deadpool the movie. They should totally run up to DC take the Green Lantern 2 contract rip it up and sign Ryan Reynold to the movie. Reynolds would do it, he doesn't care he just wants money. Then I will see that movie in IMAX Theaters with a Deadpool shirt on, holding a Deadpool action figure, having my friends hold my Deadpool comic books to make sure movie references a right to the comics, and while writing the best review ever on this blog. If you haven't figure it out yet Deadpool is my favorite Marvel character. A Deadpool movie would make things marvelous.

By The Way, Let me clarify who Deadpool is.
