random movie thoughts

1. Saw Angels & Demons when it came out. It was great. I loved it. I think I loved t more than the book just cuz it was faster, and eliminated some of the chunky random parts of the book. I thought all the changes they made just added to the movie and made it better. Also Ewan McGreggor was great as the Camerlengio.

2. I really liked Angels & Demons, and The Da Vinci Code books (and the movies obviously) and am really excited for the next Robert Langdon book by Dan Brown. Its called The Lost Symbol and it comes out in September. The movie studio and people behind TDVC and A&D already opioned it and bought the rights, so it will be made into a movie. yay.

3. Also saw Terminator Salvation when it came out. I dont know what all the people are bitching about. I thought it was great. Sure it could have been better, but it was still awesome. I thougth Sam Worthington was great as Marcus (and hot, and badass). Christian Bale of course was hella great as John Connor. Bryce Dallas Howards looked really pretty as Kate. Moon Bloodgood didnt look like herself. Seeing CG 1985 era Arnold ws hilarious. Yelchin was decent as Kyle Reece, and pretty beleivable. All in all it was a good, kick ass movie.

4. After watching Terminator Salvation, I started quesioning their world. This only made my head hurt as to question the Terminator universe and all its paradigms is to question...um something mind bottling (yes mind bottling ala Zoolander). So one of the main questions I had was how would Skynet know they had to kill Kyle Reece? I dont think they or anyone but John Connor know that Reece is his father. Also how would tye know to kill Sarah Connor? Did John go advertisising that she is his mother, or did Skynet hack old hospital records. Is that how they found that Reece is the father? When did Skynet invent the time machine and all those laser and plasma guns from T1 that we dont see in TS which takes place only 11 years before? AHHHHH too many questions. Dont even get me started on the paradigms that arise from this.

5. Anyway moving on.

6. The Hangover is hilarious. and epic. enough said.

7. Am excited for Transformers 2. A Michael Bay movie with giant robots from space that transform into cars and stuff, loud explosions and no brain power neccessary? Im all for it. I love Michael Bay movies. I have to admit that it is wrong that he is sterotyped for making big loud dumb movies. Sure he may make those types of movies, but he makes them like no other. His movies are awesome. I love them. 2 of them actually make me cry, and all of them make me laugh. Its just too bad that Megan Fox is in Transformers. I hate her cuz she is annoying, and a slut who cant act.

8. July will be a great movie month as both Public Enemies (Johnny Depp as John Dilinger... awesome.) and Harry Potter 6 come out in July.
