I did not know this existed. I (fairly) recently finished the Manga and it was pretty enjoyable. Did you watch Oldboy then?

Thanks for clearing that up.

Did you hear Steve Irwin Died?
Too Soon?

LOL

With the Lioness gone you are now my official lost reference pointer.


I caught most of Oldboy later that night as I remember. But it's blurry and I missed parts.

I rarely watch movies lately, and I saw all I wanted to see this year, so since I could really find a good one I missed and interested in from the past years, I decided to watch Some Like It Hot
Hilarious movie, and also, Marilyn Monroe is hot.

^Yeah, these days I watch reviews of movies to save time. Even better, I just listen while playing a game about demons.

You may once again see Marilyn Monroe on stage… as a hologram
It looks like a Marilyn Monroe fan's best friend isn't diamonds... but recent advancements in holographic technology. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a company called Digicon Media is planning to bring the deceased icon back on stage as a hologram, with the same technique used for Tupac's beyond-the-grave performance at Coachella.
Old Stuff:Still, those familiar with special effects say the holographic Tupac Shakur was created using the same concept as an old magic trick discovered in the 19th century known as Pepper's Ghost.

Next up Ann Miller cause she's Too Darn Hot.

Spoiler

With that black guy on the bongos at near the end!

I decided to watch Safe House a couple of days ago. I'm not really into action movies, but it was a damn good one. Recommended.

Men In Black 3 (2012)
Rating: 8/10
Fun: 10/10

One of the universe's most dangerous aliens breaks free from his own personal holding prison on the moon and travels back in time to kill Agent K, who shot off his arm in the past. Agent J must go back to the 1960's to prevent Agent K from being killed.

Great movie, I had a blast with it. I had so much fun with it honestly that I wanted to see it again that same weekend, and that doesn't happen all too often. I personally thought it was a great movie because it didn't try to be anything that it wasn't, Men In Black has always been this goofy, stupid, science fiction movie, and that is exactly what this is. They didn't try to make it anything that it wasn't, which I honestly thought was a nice feature of the movie, its simply one of those movies that you go see to have a good time. It had some decent action scenes, it had tons of good laughs, and it was just a blast all around. As far as the action scenes go, I was a little disappointed how there were several instances where it looked like CGI, I feel they could have done a little better with the quality. There are some scenes where the aliens clearly look CGI and fake, like something from the mid-90's. But like I said, it had me laughing throughout the movie, and even if you don't laugh, you'll enjoy the light-hearted feeling of the movie. The acting was spot on, of course nothing award winning because it wasn't really a movie that requires real deep acting, but I was impressed at how well Josh Brolin played a young Tommy Lee Jones, I mean its absolutely shocking how well he does it. To the facial expressions, even down to the voice, everything was identical. Overall, super fun easy going movie.



Safe House (2012)
Rating: 7.5/10
Fun: 9/10

One of the government's most wanted informants willingly turns himself in to a consulate building in South Africa after being chased by a group of people who want him dead. As the informant is being interrogated, the building is swarmed by a mob of people in an attempt to kill the informant. As a quick act, a low ranked CIA agent takes the informant with him to prevent him from being freed or killed. The CIA agent must take the informant to an undetermined safe house before the informant's assassins kill him.

I wasn't really sure what this movie was about, what kind of movie it was, I just knew it had Denzel in it so it was going to be a quality movie. I was not expecting it, but this was a solid action movie. The plot is a little confusing (its one of those movies that don't really make sense until the very end), and nothing more than your typical action movie plot. It wasn't really great or anything, but as far as action movies go, it was pretty good. The action in the movie is excellent and it is loaded with chase scenes. The chase scene at the World Cup stadium was particularly memorable because it was just so well done, but not necessarily because its something new or exciting. The acting was eh. For Denzel Washington, he did an pretty alright job I guess, I think the problem is that the character was not only lacking any real depth, but you didn't have a clear understanding of him throughout the movie. As far as Ryan Renolds goes, I was for the most part impressed, he did a pretty good job throughout the movie, but his character was lacking even more depth than Denzel's. Although I thought his acting was good, toward the end there were a couple scenes that were just terrible. There is one that I have in mind that I remember thinking "is he serious?" All in all, this is a great action movie, and I had a lot of fun watching it. Definitely recommended to fans of the genre.

Prometheus Thumbs down. Much more of a big picture film than the first two Alien films - they had a lot of dialogue about human evolution, rather than dialogue about not getting paid like Alien. I found it a very cold experience; people didn't seem to act like a human beings, which meant I didn't really care.

I was afraid of this happening although I was holding out a vague hope that Ridley would remember what makes a great film great. Ah well, big shinies, big splosions, poor script it is then
