Movie Binging

So I saw four movies this past weekend and only paid for 2. Even used my student discount, th0ugh I have not been a real student for years now. So let's begin with the reviews.

1st movie I saw was Live Free or Die Hard (or as I like to call it Die Hard 4)


Was this a good movie? Well I liked it, but I am a weird guy like that. Lots of unrealistic action but I did like the story line. Should John be dead? Yes he should. Anyone going through some of the things he went through should at least be in a coma by the end of the movie. I think I liked it because it was better than I expected (unrealistic as it was)

The next day I did a double movie deal
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

If nothing else, this movie was dope because of the Silver Surfer. I would like to have seen Galactus, but I guess they spent their special effects budget doing a great job of bringing the Silver Surfer to life. I can't really tell you much about the movie even though I just saw it the other day, except that I didn't like Jessica Alba's hair, it seemed like a character on it's own. The Fantastic Four was a lot cornier than in the first one. I never really followed The Fantastic Four as a kid so I can't tell you much about story line and all that, but I would recommend it as a movie to bring your child to, if you have one that is.

Knocked Up

Funny, funny funny. Very funny. This movie is hilarious, the guys from 40 year old virgin did a great job. I would love to see this movie again and I can't wait for Superbad to come out.

And last but not least.
Transformers

Being a fan of the original script from the T.V. cartoon series I was a tad bit disappointed with the new story line. I was also a little perturbed with the fact that they focused so much on the humans and not the bots like the original Cartoon. I did like the comedy and action. The special effects were dope, but why does Optimus Prime has flames on him... that is not marketable to me.
Also, Megatron is not the same either... and well the Black Robot, you know Jazz... let's just say he doesn't make it. WTF? All in all, I like the human characters... they were funny and kept me interested in their story line. Bernie Mack and Anthony Anderson were pretty good. I think they should have killed Tyrese in the beginning, but that is just me hating. That white girl Mikaela or however you spell her name... she was pretty cute, but who cares I wanted to see robots ripping each other apart. The movie also seemed to be a 2 and a half hour product placement jump off.
I also hear that the people responsible for this story line are working on G.I. Joe the live action film. I wanted to see it until I heard that, but I will anyway. I also hear that most of the characters are going to be different. I am beginning to think they are making these movies more for profit than nostalgia, or maybe they are just targeting a younger audience and trying to bring these old time characters and cartoons to life for a new generation.

Anyway, those are my reviews for today... I hope you all enjoyed.
