I'll start off this review with....

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I never read the X-Men comics- I never cared for the characters back stories. Since I knew nothing of it, I watched this movie not expecting anything or waiting for an event or whatever.... This movie goes back to Logan's early days when he first discovers his mutations. It takes you through his life up to the point where he had lost his memory. It gave me a better understanding of Logan and why he is... the way he is... And Scott...
X-Men Origins was easily my favorite of the X-Men related movies. I thought the actors were great. I love them. Especially Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynalds. Ryan Reynalds is a fox. :)


Empire of the Sun
This movie came out in 1987. It has a thirteen year old Christian Bale. He's so adorable. It takes place in 1941 to 194...5- I think. It's about a little Brit who grew up in China. The war broke out and in the chaos of the Japs invading, Christian Bale (Jamie aka Jim) gets separated from his mommy and daddy. John Malcovich is an American... scam artist...? I guess... He takes Jamie under his wing and then they get sent to a war camp where John is the Red of the prison and Jamie is the little mascot.
The movie was two and a half hours long... it seemed more like four. There were sooooooo many scenes where they would keep the camera on an unimportant- unexciting thing for at least forty seconds. Such as a birds eye view of the set... An extremely close up view of Christian Bale, John Malcovich, Miranda Richardson, Ben Stiller... ETC.... It draaaaagged... This movie could have easily been an hour and forty minute long movie... It was kind of depressing though. I might watch it again though. But I won't go out of my way to watch it.


Showtime series Dead Like Me
This show is weeeeirrd. It's about this girl, Georgia Lass, that get killed by a Russian satellite toilet seat flying from the sky and she becomes a Grimm Reaper. Every day, her and four other Reapers get a post-it from the boss reaper, Rube (Aka.Mandy Pantinkin, aka. Inigo Montoya) And on the Post-it is the name and location of the person they have to touch to remove their soul before they die. It's quite humorous but they swear a lot. If you don't mind swearing and you have access to Netflix you should queue it up. (Just to be warned there have been some inappropriate moments...)


King Kong
.... Well.... Intriguing, Epic, long......



The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The story was intriguing. The thought of someone being born as though they're eighty years old becoming younger as the years go by is kinda cool. But I don't know. This kind of creeped me out. It is Brad Pitt so it is dirty.
Brad Pitt's a babe. But you only see him and his babe-ness literally two hours into the movie and it's only for eighteen minutes. Yes I timed it. I don't think Cate Blanchett is particularly pretty. In fact- I don't think so at all. So I didn't like her as a leading lady. Jason Flemyng had a minor role and I adore him... any who...


Resident Evil Trilogy
I loved the video games. They gave me the willies, but the movie didn't have the same feel. The story line is surrounded by a lab called the Hive where scientists preform genetic experiments and develop a virus. This and that happens and the T-Virus gets out making an vast break out of the Zombie Flu. Every thing's eating everything. There are guns and blood and a disturbing scene with security lazors... I felt as though Milla Jovavich played the same character she did in Fifth Element though, (Big Bada Boom- Chicken Good) and Mechelle Rodriguez played herself as she seems to do in every movie she's in. The first was intense- don't get me wrong, but I think I expected to much. I did enjoy it but it didn't scare me as I thought it would.
Because the first didn't hold my expectations, I held none for the second. But I was surprised to find some of it to be just as intense. I don't remember a whole lot. The T-Virus gets around Racoon City and more Zombie emurge but this time you get Ardeth Bay coming to help her along with some other "tough" chick. You know that if this was reality there wouldn't be so many attractive people surviving. In reality the survivors are scarred hairy and burly- moving on....
The third I was completely neutral. I didn't expect anything but I didn't dismiss it either. It did have one fun part with birds but there were some weird things involving clones and telepathy and some weird Jizz. I wasn't particulary fond of Ashanti or Ali Larter. But...

I did watch it like twelve time but that's just because- what else- A guy. A pretty guy. A pretty Australian guy. A pretty Australian guy that I already liked as Roran.


Anyways... that's all...

Kids These Days....

This kid deserves icecream for breakfast and no bedtime....

Nebraska boy, 6, takes wheel after dad passes out

Police say a 6-year-old boy grabbed the wheel of their pickup after his dad passed out from low blood sugar and kept them from crashing until a North Platte police officer could bring the truck to a halt.

Tustin Mains was in the back seat with his 3-year-old brother when he noticed that his dad, Phillip Mains, slumped down on Sunday evening while they were driving home from a restaurant.

"I remember getting up to about the mall -- that was about 6:45," Phillip Mains told The North Platte Telegraph. "The next thing I remember was waking up to the officer and paramedics, and it was 8:15."

Tustin hopped up from the back seat

to his father's lap so he could steer and see out the windshield.

His dad's foot had slipped off the accelerator, but even at idle the Chevrolet Avalanche was going an estimated 10-15 mph.

Other drivers noticed the boy driving the truck. Some maneuvered their vehicles in front or behind the pickup and turned on their emergency blinkers.

Tustin remained at the wheel for several blocks, even turning around when he got into a neighborhood he didn't recognize.

He was then spotted by North Platte officer Roger Freeze.

Freeze maneuvered his car near enough that he could stop, get out and run up to the pickup. The driver's side window was down, so Freeze reached in, grabbed the gearshift and rammed it into park.

North Platte Police Chief Martin Gutschenritter praised his officer and young Tustin.

"I will be issuing him a departmental citation for his quick, professional action on this case. That is also a very special young man. He was able to take quick action when his dad was incapacitated, and we are very proud of him, too," Gutschenritter said.

Tustin's dad was grateful to Freeze as well.

"To chase down a moving vehicle and get it stopped the way he did took a lot of nerve, and if it weren't for him, things could have turned out much worse."

For a kindergartner, Tustin did a pretty good job of driving. The pickup sustained only a minor scrape when it brushed a piece of a bridge as Tustin turned to head back into town.

When he saw his dad "fall asleep," Tustin said, he got scared, then got another fright when officer Freeze appeared at the driver's window.

But when Freeze brought the pickup to an abrupt halt?

"I was just happy," Tustin said.

Foo foo Cuddley Poops...

Have you had your Happy Juice today?

Twitterpated...

I'm now on Twitter. I don't particularly know what it's for or what the appeal is... but- ya know...

It's FINALLY here...!...

In 2003, a movie was made. In 2005, it was released in theaters. Now in 2009, it's on video. I had seen this movie four times in the two weeks it was in theaters here in Utah. I saw it on the friday it was released, the next tuesday, the next friday and the next monday. It was such a simple movie, but I loved it. Last month Chelcie told me it was coming to video. I nearly screamed I was so happy. What was the movie, you ask?

 UNCLE NINO!

It's a happy, feel good family flick. It's so fun. It has Pierrino Mascarino, Joe Mantegna, Anne Archer and Trevor Morgan and most people will remember me and my opinion of Trevor Morgan. No? Mm....

 Anyways, he reminds me of an older Italian Male version of Moms sisters. He loves flowers (And talks to them), He eats food in the grocery store and loves music. But he is amazing with a violin. I love violins.  It's a good time movie. 

 I had mentioned it on my blog before, on Friday, December 7, 2007. That wasn't my best moment.
 Anyways, when I watched it the other day, it felt like I watched it last week. SO many things were so fresh in my memory. I think I want to watch it again. So I will.

What show is Awesome?

I was sad when they stopped making shows like The Monkees. But then they came out with...

JONAS!

It's great...
