Movie Month of May

I've been pretty lazy when it comes to blogging but I'm going to try to update more often. Since my last update not much has happened. The month of May has been somewhat uneventful with an odd outing here and there. Lots of movies.

Here are some reviews from some of movies I've seen lately.

X-men Origins: Wolverine (2/10)
It was fairly drab, bad dialogue, poor narrative, predictable and just the same old crap of a movie. Lots of eye rolling. The acting was poor and the plot was lame. The X-men series has hit a new low with this one, but what can you expect from the creators of the original X-men trilogy.

State of play (6/10)
Not bad but not great. The only thing I would have changed is Russell Crowe's haircut. Not a fan of the greasy locks look. Espionage thrillers are getting old. It's been done.

Star Trek (6/10)
Liked it but didn't love it.

Angels and Demons (8/10)
I don't care what people say, I really liked this movie. Sure it was far fetched but the location, Zimmer's music, the tone and action sequences made it worth while. I was sort of disappointed that Ron Howard played it safe to appeal to the religious crowd but what can you do, they make a huge audience. Although a little better the second time around, the great Tom Hanks still couldn't save his character. What can you expect when you're being upstaged by exposition throughout the entire movie? It was good but it could have been better. These kinds of real time thrillers work best with a "24" type of structure.

Tonight I'm going to see Terminater with a few friends. I'm going with low expectations but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
