1/2 2010 Movie Recap

Ok so I highlighted some films early this year that seemed to be the top hitters of 2010 up until June. Lets just say there were more misses than hits on that list. In summary, so far in 2010 films have just been quite... "eh." Quick recap on what we were so lucky to have been graced with to date in 2010.

Jan

Daybreakers: Caught in on DVD with the wife. Enjoyable film. Different take on Vamps but nothing to write home about. Mediocre acting and lack of true action just didn't deliver like I had hoped.

I did get around to watching The Lovely Bones, strange film. Had great potential but again, partial waste of time.

Feb

Shutter Island: Saw it in theater, Scoresese delivered. Top 100 all time for me. Great acting, great story, well put together. A jewel of the year so far.

The Wolfman was sooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. Really, BAD!

March

Alice In Wonderland: A fun twist to the existing world of Wonderland... or Underland as stated in film. But i'm not sure if it was cause I was DEAD TIRED when viewing, or the crappy 3D but it just didn't do anything for me.

Clash of the Titans: Haven't seen it but heard it was utter CRAP!

April

Kick Ass: It really Kicked Ass! Great film, fun and entertaining. Won't disappoint if you enjoy action, violence and wild killing. Nick Cage actually was great as a secondary role and in no way detracted from this film!

Nightmare on Elm Street (remake): Heard it was crap... waiting for DVD.

Did see Date Night with the wife on one of our "Date Nights" and we both found it to be way funnier than critics thought. I loved everything about it, Carell and Fey are perfect together.

May

Iron Man 2: Nothing to say here, it's Fucking Iron Man... Was WAY GOOD. Not as good as the original but delivers everything a summer blockbuster should.

Prince of Persia: Hearing mixed reviews so far but people are comparing it to the more recent Mummy films... hmmmm?

Well there you go, seems that only Shutter Island, Kick Ass and Iron Man really stood up to the task of truly enjoyable summer films. Hope the second half of the year has more in store!

It's Almost Here!

IRON MAN 2

Iron Man 2 will be released this Friday May 7th, Thursday night for you sneak peekers out there. It has already hit the UK early last week and has earned over $100 Million already internationally. EmpireOnline (my UK movie site of choice) reviewed IM2 3/5 stars. Mainly stating that the sequel didn't exactly live up to the hype providing it was a little over busy and inessential. If you care to check out the full review head over HERE. If you are a fan of reviews (as we all know I'm not considering I own Rollerball!) and allow it to drive your choice to check out a film then FYI- Rolling Stones= 8/10, Variety= 6/10

But regardless of the reviews for this film, I'm all about it. The first one blew me away far exceeding all expectations of "yet another marvel movie!" And the casting of Downey Jr turned out to be the most perfect Marvel Hero fit to date! (still awaiting results on Thor - Chris Hemsworth & Cap. America - Chris Evans [yes the same human torch chris evans])

For those of you that aren't up to speed on Iron Man 2, allow me to fill in the blanks. After the first film ends, we find our hero Tony Stark (RDJ) announcing to the world that he is in fact Iron Man. Note that this is the first superhero in comic history to bring his identity public. The second film continues in the short future of IM1's timeline where Stark is completely living it up as both the worlds richest man and most beloved hero. Meanwhile, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), a deranged Russian mastermind is using Stark Tech to create his own Iron Man suite to use against Tony for his fathers actions towards Ivan's family over 20 years prior.

Craziness leads to Rourke forming Vanko into the master villain "Whiplash." Creating an ironman like suite with electric whips that can tear cars in half. The film also brings into the forefront how the government wants to seize Stark's Technology for military applications. This side plot is helmed by (one of my favorites) Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell). While all this is going on, Jim Rhodes (Don Cheadle) is so torn between the friendship of Tony and his obligations to American Army that he is forced to take an Iron Man suit that will become a supped up version equipped to the T with serious fire power thus bringing to the stage our first glimpse of War Machine. Throw in a little Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and you got yourself an amazing summer blockbuster.

This movie has everything you can ask for in a summer fun flick. Crazy awesome electronics. (one of his suits - Mark V - is a suitecase turned Iron Man as seen in the above photo) Wild fight scenes. ScarJo's breasts. RDJ playing his always popular playboy image on screen. Superheroes. Supervillains. Explosions. It'll be very enjoyable this I promise you. So strap in, buckle up, hold on tight cause I feel this movie is gonna take you on one hell of a ride! I'll be seeing it this weekend and I'm sure to enjoy every minute.

Happy viewing.

How bout' them Sixers?

There is a Buzz going around in Philly that doesn’t have to do with Spring Training and those Fightin Phils! This ringing has a completely different tune and its far from beautiful.

The Sixers are in shambles… and I can’t be happier! Why may you ask am I doing back flips at the expense of our once beloved hardcore kings? One word and that word alone… “LOTTERY!” With every L that gets posted up on that schedule my smile gets even bigger. L isn’t for loss this time around ladies and gents… oh no! This time it stands for Lottery.

The Philadelphia 76ers currently stand at 23-44 for the season. This God awful record has them currently tied as the 6th (with the likes of the Kings) worst team in the NBA. And after a 94-84 schalacking by the New York Knicks last night… yes the Knicks, our very own Sixers look hungry to break into that 5th position! They have dropped five games in a row now. And loss nine of their last ten. Now that’s pretty impressive. The Sixers will close out this week with the Nets and Knicks. Then a game at home vs a playoff contending Bulls on Saturday. They cap off the month with five games coming against all teams ranked in the top 6 of their conference.

I can’t foresee them pulling out more than two wins over the next eight. That would put this group of makeshift superstar wannabies (yes you Iguodala) at a whopping 25-50. And that number my friends, with only 7 games remaining in the season, will be this years winning Lottery Number!

- Lets hear it for John Wall! –
