Movies: The Avengers

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Killervirgo

I can gush forever about how good the movie is, but I will keep this post brief by saying: SEE THIS MOVIE! You don’t have to see any of the other superhero movies for The Avengers to make sense, but I think it does a great job tying all those movies together. I saw it in IMAX 3D, and the quality was great, and I forgot I was watching a 3D movie. I will have to see the movie again in 2D, do see if has the same impact.

Movies: Think Like A Man

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Killervirgo

I went to Studio Movie Grill to see Three Stoogees, but theatre’s online schedule was wrong, so I ended up seeing Think Like A Man instead.

I no intention of seeing this movie ever, but I was at the theatre and I didn’t want to leave without seeing a movie, and this movie started in 10 minutes. The movie was not as bad as I thought, but it wasn’t great either. I had some laughs, but was confused by the timeline of events, and why Steve Harvey had to make so many cameos in a movie that was based on his book. His appearances were jarring to me.

The audience in the theater was about 95% African-American, and I found it funny that an older white women, who was enjoying her wine, was actively talking to the screen. She broke the stereotype, and I quite enjoyed her wine-induced commentary. To be fair, a black couple brought in a crying baby and didn’t leave the theatre, so they were talked to by the staff.

All in all this movie is more suited for cable, the paying money in the theatre.

KERA

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Killervirgo

I listen to public radio everyday. In the car to and from work, and at my desk at work.

KERA, my local public radio station is having a donation drive the week, and I finally contributed. I did it because I felt a bit guilty for not doing it just out of sheer laziness … so I did it. As a bonus, I am getting a reusable shopping bag.

Back from shopping at Target and spent $5 for $14 worth of products. I like using my coupons but hate having a cashier who doesn’t know how to process them, and I end up holding up the line. I feel a bit of guilt, but it goes away when they see how much I saved and the get that wide-eyed expression … the waiting was worth it.

Movies: The Cabin in the Woods

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Killervirgo

I can’t say much about this movie except, go see it in the theater. It is funny, scary and introspective about the whole horror genre. I saw the trailer and I decided to skip it initially but it got good reviews and I remember that Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and soon opening The Avengers movie) so I change my mind.

Don’t be turned off by the trailer because it is generic and doesn’t due to movie justice. The trailers tell you a bit about what happens in the movie, but it is interesting how those events come about.
