First off just letting everyone know that Episode 7 of The Bonus Stage is now on YouTube here:
The Bonus Stage
So summer movies are now in full swing and wow they're not disappointing........yet.
First off saw Wolverine last week, gotta say its got some awesome action scenes in it and Hugh Jackman is an animal. It's funny to see how he transforms from one of the nicest people around into this monster on screen when he steps into the roll of Logan(Wolverine). The script in this movie was lacking but the action made up for the sub par story. See for me the thing about Wolverine and why the first X-Men movie was so good was because when you introduced to Logan for the first time you know as much about his history as he does...nothing. That was the charm of the character, both the audience and him were trying to figure out how he became to be, although if you read the comic books you have a pretty good idea anyway. Bottom line this movie is got some great action and wicked special effect......well except for the claws. Yeah so Wolverine's claws in some scenes (particularly the one scene in the bathroom look horrendous, im not sure who was in charge of animating the claws for this movie but wow are they needing some work done to them, they look like they were attached to his hands using MS paint. Hopefully we'll see some better quality on Blu-Ray.
Now this movie I went to see on Thursday at a midnight premier.
Star Trek.
J.J Abrams who I LOVE (although I hate Alias) is a genius.
The guy basically had me sold on anything he writes after the screenplay for Armageddon, then with his film directorial debut of Mission Impossible III which blew me away! Then LOST to which i'am a die-hard fan of, I have more DHARMA Initiative merch than I care to count.
The to Cloverfield which although was given a cold shoulder by alot of critics renewed my hope for new and exciting ideas in film.
But lets talk about Star Trek, and honestly right off the bat I can't think of one bad thing I can say about this movie. It's just, dare I say it? Perfect?
Maybe not perfect if you nitpick, but it's damn close.
From the superb casting, to the solid script, great acting, gripping action and mind blowing special effects. Oh yeah and the best end credits i've ever seen!
This movie never once left me bored, although there was one odd moment when seeing Spocks mother for the first time and both me and my friend Mike looked at each and asked, is that Winona Ryder? Yeah it was.
I also must say that Eric Bana as Nero was awesome, not only did his makeup transform him physically but he played the part great. Damn Romulans!
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN.(not a Romulan)
Lastly, my friend Mike is back from London on summer vacation. So as is no the custom I brought my entire drum kit over to his house and we set up dueling drum kits.
These pics were taken with my iPhone so the quality isn't very good, i'll get better ones next time. My drum kit is the black charcole one and Mike's is the red one.
