Went to see Guardians of the Galaxy this weekend. I thought it was pretty good. Ran a little long, but it had good action, and likable characters.

I loved this movie.  I am glad it did well overseas, because I would love to see more movies like this.  Hipster pussy Americans don't know what is good anymore.  Expendables 3 coming out soon (yay) and then Rambo 5 is supposed to be shot next (YYYYAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!).

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit.  James Gun makes pretty good movies and I like that a guy with Troma roots (Tromeo and Juliet) is now making AAA Hollywood titles.  Best part of this movie was when Lloyd Kaufman was in the prison at the start, that brief cameo made the whole film worth my time!

Saw Lucy this afternoon. I enjoyed the story and the ending made you think a little bit. I've always wondered if humans have untapped powers. I'd be cool with just flying and invisibility.

I watched Dead Man on Campus last night on T.V.  Certainly an interesting take on the "Slacker parties too hard at College" movie.

I like the scene with the depressed goth guy singing show tunes.

Also, Guardians of the Galaxy was awesome.

Transcendence.

The first 30 minutes or so were OK, nothing really grabbed me, but I wanted to see what the movie was building up towards. The blonde girl was a bit silly, the, "UNPLUG" group leader. After almost the first hour, I had to start skipping through portions of the movie, fast forwarding. The movie was not my taste, but I tried. From what I saw of the ending, I didn't miss much.

While watching part of it, it made me think back to how 12 Monkeys is pretty good, and Transcendence isn't.

I have Transcendence on order, been wanting to see it, but yeah, I heard that it bombed pretty bad. Another Johnny Depp failure in a string of them lately.

I found it to be cheesy, and not in a good way, especially when the movie is about half way through. It left me rolling my eyes a bit, and thinking that my time could be better spent on other things. The movie could have been better, it was an OK idea. Give it a look, it may be your taste.

I need to give that killer telephone movie a watch sometime soon, "Bells". I may get to that in a week or so. I think I may enjoy Bells more than Transcendence.

I just watched a Documentary called " Dear Zachary".  By far the saddest thing I've ever seen.  It deals with mental illness and an extremely selfish sociopath.  I can be watched on YouTube in its entirety.  I urge all of you to watch it but I warn you that it is jarring.

Death Spa.

This is the movie Transcendence could have been. I haven't seen this movie since VHS, and that VHS was murky enough, probably due to many rentals, sometimes I couldn't quite make out the effects.

The plot is a bit loose, basically the dead wife of a health club owner is haunting his health club and causing deaths. This is made easier, since a lot of the health club stuff is hooked up to computers. So, she just possesses the computer.

The Blu-ray was great, I can now make more sense out of what I am seeing, so, so, so much clearer than that VHS.

Death Spa, while not great, the Blu-ray caused me to enjoy it moreso than when I watched the VHS long ago.

Better than Transcendence.

Later, I'll get to watching Bells (AKA; Murder by Phone.)

Yeah, too bad John Carpenter didn't have repeat success with the "Big Trouble in Little China" formula along with his "They Live" movie, the source of our PCE OBEY shtick. Never understood why that demigod henchman (called Thunder) just blows himself up at the end of the movie till reading the plot just now on Wiki - seems the reason given is a form of seppuku/suicide for failing to protect his master, but still, he had a chance to do damage to those responsible on their way out... It was awkward the way it was done, bunch of fighting, then he just starts inflating himself, and KABOOM!

Nightwolve, that's his desperation move! Yeaaaaaaaaaah

I watched TF4, wasn't as bad as #2 the plot was cool enough. The editing SUCKED, however it was still better than #2.

I liked the fuller look design and the action sequences had my inner 9 year old jumping for joy. Some pretty good performances by a few actors, I didn't care for the the "Titan" family. At least LeBoeuf was as frenetic as the overall concept. I didn't mind him at all.

If it wasn't for this movie Mortal Kombat may never have had Raidan. 


Also I always thing of Tremers and that old Asian guy saying "let's call them graboids"
