Movie Run Down

Man Of Steel

This version of SuperMan is the version of SuperMan if SuperMan was Jesus.  The action was good but made no sense.  Destroy whole cities while fighting?  SuperMan wouldn't allow that.  Kill a villain? SuperMan wouldn't allow that.  Watch his Earth Father get killed... By a Tornado ????? SuperMan wouldn't allow that.  This is a SuperMan movie that SuperMan isn't really in.  Russell Crowe has the best performance in the movie.


Pacific Rim

Great movie, bad promotion.  Great director, bad timing.  If you like Godzilla, Gundam or anything Anime GO SEE IT.  It's done wonderfully.  I just think it got lost in the shuffle of Summer kid friendly films and got buried.  Great scenes by Ron Pearlman.  Action packed.  Hope its a sequel but it didn't make it's money back so that might not happen.  I'm glad it turned out so good though.  Hopefully other director's will take note on how to do Live Action the proper way.


OldBoy

This is a 2003 Korean film that is getting a remake by Spike Lee ( I'm not sure why)  later this year or early next.  This movie sickens some people by the "twist ending."  I don't really think the ending was a twist at all and you should kinda see it coming actually.  But the intriguing part is finding out why he was imprisoned for 15 years and by who.  Is kinda stupid when you think about it.  It's long too like 2 hours and there are some slow parts to the movie.  I don't wanna see the remake though.



World War Z

This was a good zombie flick.  As usual the Government doesn't know anything.  There is a sequel in the works.


Now You See Me

This was a good movie that kept you guessing.  Far from the realm of believable it was just something cool to watch.  Woody Harrelson is always entertaining in my book.  There is probably going to be a sequel to this too unfortunately.  Hollywood doesn't know how to let things be great.


This Is The End

The funniest parts of this movie are at the beginning and most of them are by Michael Cera.  After Cera dies it's kinda limp.  It gets way more Biblical then I thought it was going to be.  And Danny McBride pretty much ends up playing the same characters over and over. The end was great though.



Rapture - Palooza

Craig Robinson is the ONLY reason to see this movie.  He provides the only laughter in this film.  Another End Of the World movie where all the believers ascended to Heaven and the non - believers are stuck on Earth with multlple plagues and demons.  Oh and Craig plays the Anti- Christ.


I think I saw more movies I just don't remember them.

Let's Break down the Jetson's


The Jetson's was one of my favorite shows growing up. The show was set in the year 2062 and they're are some differences and similarities in how I think 2062 will play out.

In future Jetson's world they live in highrises way in the sky, b/c of the rising water.

That maybe true. I was watching the National news and they said by 2050 the waters are going to rise significantly.

In the opening scene George gives all the family member money to go shopping. Actual dollar bills.

The way the currency market is working now I'm not sure that actual dollar bills will be around much in 50 years and prob not at all in the next 100.

Rosie was a hell of a Robot/Friend/Maid but with the way robotics is going I doubt that in the 50 years robots will be that advanced.

The first episode of the 80's Jetsons, Elroy's school took a trip to the Moon and he found his pet Orbity.

With our now defunct space program I don't think schools are going to be taking many trips to the Moon.

The Jetson's had holographic Television.

This could be a reality. With the 3D TV technology getter better and better who's to say in 50 years that there isn't hologram TV?!

George had a sucky job.

They'll always be sucky jobs!

They had flying cars.

I doubt the flying cars of the future will be a reality. With gas approaching almost 5 bucks a gallon these days, the price to make your car fly would probably be ridiculous!
