Terminator Salvation

This most recently made Terminator movie was produced by McG and stars Christian Bale (John Connor), Sam Worthington (Marcus Wright), Helena Bonham Carter (Dr. Serena Korgan) and others. So this most recent action, adventure, sci fi thriller Terminator picture is all about John Connor leading the revolt against the machines bent on destruction of pretty much everything that is not a machine of their own. Well the movie was certainly not a cheery film and was quite intense to watch from time to time, but it was still a roller coaster type movie for me that I enjoyed because of some of the thrilling aspects of the machine action, adventure scenes. I think the characters had interesting roles that came together well in fulfilling the action, adventure in this dramatic plot. I also think some of the special effects in this Terminator were way better then the one made in 1984 originally, which of course makes sense seeing I am sure movie effects have surely changed a bit over 25 years since then. In other words to keep it more sweet and simple here I will just say that the thrilling aspects of the movie and the special effects had made this dark movie keep me on the edge of my seat and worth just enough seeing as it was something with a little less dullness in theaters lately for me. Oh and woops one last last note here, I wonder if they would ever think of making a DVD bonus feature of the equally intense as all the Terminator movies in itself Christian Bale on Set Ranting YouTube clip towards the Director of Photography. Well hasta la vista baby until the next blog entry.

Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen

This second action, adventure, sci fi movie in the Michael Bay directed movie series stars Shia LaBeouf (Sam Witwicky), Megan Fox (Mikaela Banes), John Turturro (Agent Simmons) and others. In this sequel movie Decepticon forces come to Earth to take Sam Witwicky prison as he is a person who knows a lot about the ancient origins of the transformers. Well I thought the special effects were dazzling again and there was some humorous moments like before, which I think is a nice element in an intense action movie. I think the previous Transformers actually might have been a little more exciting then the second for me because of seeing a movie with these exact types of action special effects for the first time. At some points I sometimes wondered if the movie was laying on the heroism moments a little to thick, but nevertheless there was a nice amount of an action story from all directions. But anyhow enough with my random tidbits and to summarize I will just say I think there are plenty of reasons to give this movie two thumbs up like the fact that I hear some are predicting a Transformers 3 once this movie is out of the box office. So it was a good movie, I am looking forward to the third and on a side note this is completely not yet the story of my life since I will be buying a new car this week and should really take a look at the clunkers for cash program.

Funny People

This movie is directed by Judd Apatow and it stars Adam Sandler (George Simmons), Seth Rogen (Ira Wright), Leslie Mann (Laura) and others. Well the movie is actually about people trying to be funny, kidding because if I had no idea of that matter you could report me to the Movie Blogging Commission if their was such a thing. Anyhow this movie seemed to have a highly expanding plot into drama related issues for a while and the movies plot was about George Simmons finding out he has a life threatening illness. Simmons chooses to take under his wing a new to the big times comedy writer (Wright) to help him with his stand up work. Well I have to say although the actors in the movie are generally a riot however this movie seemed a bit misleading for me. This was because it was really just more dramatic then humorous in a lot of ways. So the title alone seemed a little misleading, but it was also highly trashy so much that I saw ten people walk out. It seemed to me lightly funny from time to time watching the inside life of the big shot comedian George Simmons, but it also seemed without much of a captivating plot because the drama almost seemed fictitious for people that live like rich famous successful superstars. So perhaps next time I am out to see a comedy I will attempt to see something with less drama attached and perhaps just more slapstick.
