I spent a lot of the film wishing I was re-reading Stephen King's 'Cell' which did it better, and the rest trying to figure out if the main girl was Clea Duvall (clearly not) or that chick from 'Dead Like Me' (apparently also not).

Terminator Salvation

I am very gullible. My mother once told me that grey pigeons were grey because they were all boys and that the brown ones were girls and I had nightmares about the browns being victimized and gang raped by the greys for a LONG time afterward.

But here, in Terminator 4, I was not surprised at all. Ever. Actually, no. I was surprised at some of the more ridiculous things, like wifey blindy from The Village always being impeccably clean and somehow being able to *SPOILER* perform a heart transplant in a tent, and the fact that by smashing a computer screen, the gorgeously Aussie Sam Worthington managed to take down big momma Helena Bonham Carter, but generally, I was pretty bored plot wise

The Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk

I was kind of a fan of the first Hulk, the Ang Lee directed one that tried to move away from the blockbuster comic book mold and craft a new kind of hero movie. I respect it in a way I could never respect a blockbuster like ‘The Incredible Hulk’. But I am a child of pop culture and I loved the later Hulk a lot more than Ang Lee’s. Shit poster notwithstanding

Wall-E

Amazing.

I had my doubts about this, as I thought the robot 'voices' would grate after a while, but they humanized them just enough that they didn't. I do have two gripes with it

X Men Origins - Wolverine

So I took myself off to see X Men Origins - Wolverine. O.M.F.G. Rather than speak of the multitude of wrong in it, I thought I'd post some hastily gathered junk from the interwebz instead. I think I laughed about the same amount searching for this stuff as I did during Hugh Jackman's piece of shit film, but this time it was from genuine amusement instead of horrified disbelief/hysteria.

First up, some yaoi. Oh yeah, get right up in there Wolvy, Nightcrawler can SO take it, I mean, I'm not the only one who thinks Ultimate Colossus fucked the shit out of him am I

Hellboy II The Golden Army

While the first film was a little lacking, a little too pandering to the fans, a little boring and long, I still loved it. The incredibly hot Hellboy, the incredibly hot Abe Sapien and the amazingly monotonous (thanks Selma Blair), but hot Liz Shermann. The love, the monster (cause for some reason there was only one and a big tentacle in this one) and the bad guy kept me going.

Iron Man

I was always a bit unsure about Iron Man. A man in an iron suit? He’s just a robot basically, but not as unkillable. Well, this movie certainly changed all that! From it’s heavy (in a good way, I suppose ‘rich’ would be a better word, or ‘detailed’) character development to it’s kind of amazing (if a little stereotyped on the ‘Middle Eastern’ front) plot and hero creation in Iron Man, it was a pleasure from start to finish!

Friday the 13th (reboot) & Jason X

I watched the new 'Friday the 13th' which is a mash-up of the first four movies. It was good, and a good idea to combine some movies, cause while I love this series, it really is a predictable, slow-moving affair movie to movie.

“I do...and I'll have a side of fries with that.” (LINK)

So here's a cracker. A bunch of motor heads in Sweden in conjunction with the Church of Sweden are offering a drive through wedding. So you'd think maybe who would be interested in this? Funnily enough they've apparently got at least 36 couples lined up to tie the knot, drive through style, in seven minutes.

This is just hilarious but instead of something like this drive through wedding business being an isolated case, I fully expect to see similar services crop up all over the world...no doubt mostly in Las Vegas
