TWILIGHT and WOLVERINE

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Ok so lets talk about Twilight for a second. I know this movie was out back in Nov 08 but I refused to watch it in a theatre full of 13-year-old girls. My girlfriend’s sisters who are in their mid-late 30’s were all over this movie and the books too. It’s just one of those things. I mean I think Vampire chicks are hot (Kate Beckinsale) but just the thought of this movie made me think otherwise. I saw no chicks, I only saw half naked guys. It turns out I go to the gym with one of the Vampires from that movie. Lol. I never knew that. But ya it was a chick flick type of deal and I really did not want to see another book phenomenon movie.

After the girlfriend read the book she had to see the movie and what does she say? “Hey let’s rent it and watch it at your place. You have Blu Ray tv…” Ugh! I told her she should watch it at her house but nope we say it on my “Blu Ray TV” Lol.

Ok the review!

TWILIGHT

Alrighty so from what I heard throughout the entire time I saw this movie is that the book was better. That the movie placed seens out of place and blah blah blah. Its a fucken movie series! They wont give you everything up front. Get over it. They still need to release however many more books there are into movies. But anyways the movie is about a Jr in High School who lives with her mom in Arizona and bc the mom is married to a minor league baseball player and must travel all the time she decides to go live in Washington with her dad. Turns out its a tiny tiny town where Vampires and Werewolves have some sort of undisclosed agreement and well know one but the people involved in the deal know about it.  The vampires in the movie are Stoker type vamps that arn’t affected by what we have come to know as vampire deterrents i.e. crosses, garlic, the sun. Instead they live with people and claim to be vegetarians. They dont eat people only animals. Well one thing leads to another and our main character falls in love with the main vampire guy and the fun starts. I mean its hard to give a review on this movie’s plot without giving it away bc there isnt much to the story. But whatever let’s just say they become accepted not like a Romeo and Juliet thing but then some new vamps show up and well shit happens. The movie runs at 2hrs and I really did enjoy the movie. I can’t wait to see the sequel this Fall. I assume they will make every book into a movie and bust a Harry Potter and release one every year until they are done.

Ok seeing this movie on a Blu Ray was a BAAAAAD Idea. Like a Bad one. Ok I’m running a 1080P 42′ LG Scarlet at 120hz and 50k:1 contrast. That is WAAAY to much quality for this movie. Honestly I liked the movie. I’ll say that up front and OMG!!! Ashely Greene, a vampire and not the main chick, made it SOOOO much better…..mmmmmm Ashley Greene…… I’d like her suck me dry any day….. Ok so my complaints about the quality are that this was a lower budget movie and it showed on Blu Ray. All the vamps had make up on to make then pale looking and it showed where it started and where it ended. Same with the contacts they wore. You could see the rims of the contacts on my tv it was nuts. The CG wasn’t the best. It was Sci Fi ch quality CG but man did it show. So I would say defiantly watch this. Guy’s make sure you see this with a chick she will be all over you and ya i honestly thought it was good. See it on DVD though and not Blu Ray.

WOLVERINE

Ok so If you havn’t seen this in Theatres DONT!. DO  NOT! I’m sure 9/10 of you saw it when it leaked a few weeks ago anyways. That’s what I should of done. Ok so Wolverine:Origins is about the Origins of Wolverine. The movie starts off in Canada in 1845? when Logan was a kid and shows his childhood for a couple of minutes. Man oh man I hate kid actors they are baaad. But we then get the real cool intro credits that fast forward us to the 1970’s. The 5 minute credit scene shows Wolverine in the civil war, WWI, WWII, Vietnam…it was cool. Now the story was a combo of the many Weapon X stories. How he got the allimantium put in and weapon X stuff and Stryker and you even meet Gambit (looks like a tool). Again this movie is hard to review bc its all about revealing stuff. I cant say ___ __ and __ but __ without revealing stuff. I thought the action was cool, the story line was good but the CG SUCKED it was Matrix:Reloaded Status. The Twilight CG was better and that I am not exaggerating about that. It was as if they movie was still in post when it was leaked so they said, “Fuck it just release it so we can make our money” bc it looked like the CG was not finished for the theatrical release. The CG, no shit ,looked animated. Every time the claws came out and the bulk of the last 30 minutes looked crappy. Hey Ryan Reynolds is in the movie and he plays the same character he always does, the dude with his shirt off that wont shut up…..I mean he plays Dead Pool… Im sure the kids will like this one. So stay away not today disco lady! watch it on FX when it comes out. Im going to write a letter to Hugh Jackman requesting my $12.50 because as a producer on the movie he should of stopped this.

SPOILER

Wolverines brother is Sabertooth and he loses his memory not through the experiment but after Stryker shoots him in the head with an allimantium bullet.  See how several Weapon X things were combined? He also gets recruited to do secret U.S stuff and his wife never dies, she plays him, but dies later…..another story thing that was changed from the original. I dont know there was plenty of odd or wrong or changed things in the story but w/e I’m not a fan boy I’m a moviemaker. If it’s entertaining thats all that matters.
