Two months down and going strong. This week I experienced the best and worst in Animated comic book movies. Shame on you Marvel! Another week of all movie challenge originals.
Below are my movies of the week:
February 23
Behind
Enemy Lines (Directed by
John Moore) I have never really thought of Owen Wilson as an action star; this
movie proves he has it in him. Gene Hackman is my favorite character in the
movie and his performance reminded me of his character in Crimson Tide.
I,
Robot (Directed by
Alex Proyas) This is one of my favorite Will Smith movies. I like the action
and I am a tech junkie so all the gadgets are cool to see and I wish I could
have. Early Shia LaBeouf sighting, yep still annoying back then.
Twister (Directed by Jan de Bont) I enjoy this
movie for the ridiculous action and also because of Philip Seymour Hoffman's
character. He is my favorite character in the movie. The action scenes are a
little over the top especially when you use a belt to save you from an F5
tornado. During this viewing I noticed that not many people live in Oklahoma
nor do they drive on roads, the place looked just about abandoned.
February 24
Justice
League: War (Directed by Jay
Oliva) This DC animated feature is based on the "New 52" Universe
started a few years ago. DC is still on top when it comes to animated features
when compared to Marvel. It sounded like most of the characters were voiced by
new actors this time too.
February 25
Clueless (Directed by Amy Heckerling) Having been
born in the early 80's I was a bit young to really get in to The Breakfast Club
when it first came out. This however I could get in to and can still quote to
this day. My favorite characters were the ones played by Breckin Meyer and
Donald Faison.
February 26
Iron
Man & Hulk: Heroes United (Directed by Eric Radomski & Leo Riley) Marvel's
animated feature division is embarrassingly BAD. This movie proves just that.
When did The Hulk become a total over the top childish character? This movie
was so hard to finish.
February 27
License
to Drive (Directed by
Greg Beeman) I am a bit confused about what made the Corey's so popular back in
the 80's. One is annoying and the other is very annoying. I remember laughing
at this movie as a kid but now I find it completely stupid.
February 28
Moon (Directed by Duncan Jones) My friend
Sarah has been telling me to watch this movie for a few years now. Sam Rockwell
was great like he usually is and the music for the movie made it that much
better. The twist was a bit predictable but I like how it played out in the
end.
Movies watched in 28 of
28 Days. 47 Total Movies in February
March 1
Indiana
Jones and the Temple of Doom (Directed by Steven Spielberg) Indiana Jones is always a
fun character to watch. I don't enjoy this prequel as much as Raiders of the
Lost Ark but it is still ten times better than Crystal Skull. I wish the kid
playing Short Round would have done more after this movie besides The Goonies
and the TV show Head of the Class.
Bedazzled (Directed by Harold Ramis) I didn't
realize that this was a Harold Ramis movie until the other day. I have had this
on my watchlist on Amazon Prime for a while and thought it was time to watch
it. It was directed by a great man who touched the lives of many people. The
main character is the super cheesy type that I find uncomfortable to watch at
times.
Planet
Terror (Directed by
Robert Rodriguez) My favorite movie in the Grindhosue Double Feature from
Rodriguez and Tarrantino. A lot of the regular cast of people from Rodriguez's
other movies are present. I really want to know how Rose McGowan’s Cherry
Darling was pulling the trigger on her leg stump gun.
Death
Proof (Directed by
Quentin Tarantino) This might be my least favorite Tarrantino movie. I found it
to be very boring. I am usually a big Kurt Russell fan but this movie moved too
slow for me to get in to it. I am really not sure the purpose of the first half
of the movie.
