    X-Men: First Class

    ~~~~

    Synopsis fromIMDB

    In 1962, Charles Xavier starts up a school and later a team, for humans with superhuman abilities. Among them is Erik Lensherr, his best friend… and future archenemy.

    My Review

    I was pretty stoked to see this movie.

    All day I watched as stellar reviews came in over the airwaves, increasing my excitement tenfold.

    And, the movie lived up to my expectations.I’m a huge fan of the X-Men movies.I own them all and have watched them several times.

    I loved the depth of this new one. How it answered so many questions about how the school was formed, how he got into his wheelchair, things like that.

    The action scenes and special effects were great. I think they picked the perfect people to play Charles and Erik.

    Oh, and the cameos from other actors was really funny. Unexpected and nicely done!

    So….I have to give it:

    5 tickets: A must see. Buy a ticket for everyone.

  • Debate This… V vs V

    June 6, 2011 /


    Debate This is all about voicing your opinion on really important things, such as Pepsi Vs. Coke, Nike Vs. Converse, and Twinkies Vs. Ho-Hos. **smile** Okay, so maybe they’re not super important, but they’re at least fun things to jaw about. . . .

    Be sure to cast your vote on the poll below. I’ll share the results later. . . .

    I remember V when it came out in 1984. Mostly because of Marc Singer. He was awesome in that show. Now, in 2010, they came out with a new one…Can’t go wrong with Scott Wolf, right?

    But the question is….which one is better?

    Debate this…..

  • First Class…..

    May 24, 2011 /


    Anyone who knows me knows I love action movies. Up near the top of my “like” list is I Am Number Four, SALT, All of the Terminator movies, X-Men and so on.

    I even love the classic early Arnold movies like Commando and Predator. Conan…..

    I was a little skeptical when I saw the teaser for X-Men: First Class…But then I saw the full trailer.

    Yep, I might have to venture into the movie theatre for that one.

    Check this trailer out:

  • Throwback Thursday… Yippee-ki-yay

    May 19, 2011 /


    Throwing you back to 1988 for this Throwback Thursday…

    Die Hard

    ~~~~

    Okay, I’m a fan of action movies. It’s no secret. And Bruce Willis action movies are high up there on my favorite list. He’s got a wide range of movies out there, doesn’t he?

    But Die Hard has to be one of my favorites.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia4BgnjPG7w]

    ~~~

    I even liked the fourth one.

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UcpL45SZRM]

    ~~~

    I love the “You just killed a helicopter with a car” -“I was out of bullets” part. That was freaking awesome.

    Now, the Die Hard #2 and #3 weren’t high on my “like” list, but still….

    Bruce has aged well with these movies.

    IMDB shows there might be another one? Die Hard 5. Has anyone heard about that?
