The Hangover… and No Not One of Mine

The Hangover

I was really dying to do something other than hang by the pool yesterday. I know we’ve got it pretty good down here but with the total lack of surf the weekends have become somewhat mundane and boring (can’t wait to get a bike for something else to do). So I decided to catch The Hangover, a hilarious movie about a bachelor party in Vegas.

It was awesome, wish I’d seen it earlier. I walked down to Muvico by myself and got a great seat and took it all in. By far the best part of the movie was the rolling credits, which sounds odd but it explains the entire “missing” bachelor party.

Basically none of the characters remember what the hell happened to them the night before, the groom is missing, there’s a baby in the closet, a tiger in the bathroom and a tiny Asian man in their trunk. Yeah, it’s a riot.

Make sure you see the Hangover before it’s out of the theaters, otherwise you’ll just have to wait till it comes out on DVD.

Transformers – Revenge of the Fallen

I had a chance last night to hit the movies and catch the new Transformers Movie and to be honest with you it was a bit of a let down. Could have been my mood too, I guess. One screaming baby and a couple of “won’t shut up” teenagers behind me.

But it was entertaining. The action was amazing and of course, so where the special effects but the storyline and a couple new characters made me feel like I was watching a cartoon, not a movie…and could Micheal Bay bay blow up more stuff [sarcasm]. The primary cast was pretty good but a couple just got on my nerves (like the main character’s parents).

Overall it was pretty good and I may add it to the library just to add one to the set. Bringing back the ancient JetFire was badass even though it didn’t follow his original story line (from the cartoon). Also, Meghan Fox was stunning as usual so at least there was something sexy to look at.

Now if only we could keep people from bringing babies to the movie theater. Who’s bright idea was that anyway?

X-Men Origins

I made my way down to City Place over the weekend and finally saw X-Men origins. Excellent film and probably my favorite of the entire X-Men movie collection. It’s follows Wolverine and his brother Sabertooth through their very long and dangerous lives from early childhood, through every American war and up to the beginning of the Xavier School for Gifted Youths. You get the point.

One thing I was fairly stoked about was the fact that they did show Wolverine’s original claws which were nothing more than bones jutting out from his hands, as opposed to the adimantium knives we’re all used to seeing. Lev Schriber was fantastic and the overall epic story is worth the price for theater admission, if not more.

Guest appearances by some of my favorite originals such as Deadpool and Gambit are a major bonus, though neither character had a majorly significant role.

Star Trek the Movie

Star Trek

I had a chance the other night to head down to City Place and catch the newest installment of Star Trek. A movie that, like the latest few Batman movies has high hopes of reinvigorating a franchise. In that, I actually think it may have succeeded.

Now I’ve never been much of a Star Trek fan, and really never watched any of the TV shows but I’ve sat through my fair share of Star Trek movies. This one is worth the movie ticket price. Loads of action, decent story line and talented cast add a stylish spin to an aging movie franchise. It actually makes Star Trek cool.

One aspect I really enjoyed was how it covers the back story of almost everyone from the original series, why they were there and how they got there.

Overall I’ve got to say this is a pretty good movie. Go see it for yourself.
