X-Men Orgins: Wolverine


I didn't even know I liked movies like this! Curtis actually dragged me to see this, I wasn't looking forward to it. I mean, comic books, really? This is a totally guy movie. It's like making me sit through Million Dollar Baby (which I would never do, because uh, it looks gay!).

But, it turns out I totally dig stuff like this!

Something that I HATE is watching shit out of order. Like, I haven't seen Nip/Tuck in YEARS because there was a period of 6 months that I didn't have television and couldn't watch it. I refuse to just pick it back up again, because it will spoil the surprise. So, you can imagine my joy when I found out that this was the ORGIN movie! That I didn't have to watch any of the other ones to know what was going on, because THIS movie explains and leads one up to the events of X-Men and X2. YIPPE!

So, first, Wolverine (Jackman) so HOT! Yumm! I mean, I wasn't drooling over him in the theatre, partly due to the company, but he played the part well!

UGH! I can't get over what happened to his wife though! It still bothers me that she was a traitor turned good. Like, fuck her and all her stupid metaphorical stories for the universe and the stars and shit. She should have been following her own advice. I totally love her power though! Controlling people! That's awesome! I wish I could so that just by touching someone.

Anyway, I should have known that I would like this movie, especially since I am completely in love with Clark Kent on Smallville. In my defense, I didn't even know it was the story of "Superman" until my Mom's boyfriend gave it away while I was watching Season 4 on T.V. one year. Yea, I told you. I don't do comic books.

Expert Says: 5 Stars, take the kids, or don't, but this is a must see!

Kate & Leopold


This movie was just okay. The headline and movie description are very deceiving. Time continuum I get. Slow romance, I don't get. Choosing to live in the 1870's I get, because I am the first to admit that I should have been born "back in the day."

My problem with this movie is that the romance is too slow. It took over half the movie before Kate (Ryan) and Leopold (Jackman) had an actual date. This movie was not a romance film. Romance films are lasting throughout the whole thing. During this one, you don't really see that Leopold is attracted/likes/loves Kate. All you see is an 1870 gentleman treating a lady the way she should be treated.

I feel gypped of a good romance film.

Expert Says: 2 stars, you're not missing anything by not seeing this one
