My "THOR" review

"Thor"  The mighty Thor.... So I went to see this movie the day after it was released and WOW!

I am not a huge comic book fan of Thor but I loved this movie more then any Marvel movie before it. This is the best marvel film by far so far. I seen it in 3D and loved it.

This movie has a great blend of earth and other worldly places shown in it. That makes it feel like the movie makers did not go cheap on it. I really enjoy that. I love how they showed the character evolution through out the story. I also loved when Thor just plain kicked ass too.

Now I have seen all the other marvel movies and how they are fitting them together to make the avengers movie so I waited tell the credits were done at the end of this movie to see  the new puzzle piece the movie makers have put in to bring them all together. It was very cool.

I give this movie a "10 out of 10" Great story, great acting, great action, great fx the story never gets boring though out the whole movie. I love everything about this movie. I would say go see it if you can 3D or not it is a kick ass film. 

Leo's Review 1 2011

Rise of the Planet of the apes...Yes!!!!! Finally a new Ape film....

Long ago when I was a kid. I saw a movie that made me want to write story's and make movies so very badly. That movie was THE PLANET OF THE APES... I know a lot of people would say Star Wars or Star trek but I was amazed by the way that movie had a real lesson deep with in its core. I also thought the planet of the apes had one of the most amazing endings ever. Back when it came out it was a huge hit. It really was a great Sci-Fi film but it was really a movie dealing with racism and all the dark sides of it. I just was blown away as a kid to see all the different views of the apes and the humans of the movie. So i of course call the PLANET OF THE APES a real classic of all time.

Now August 5th 2011 will bring the beginning of the planet of the apes to the big screen with the film RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. Originally they wanted to call it RISE OF THE APES but of course all the younger people who don't know anything about old things that were cool would have not known what that meant so they had to make the name really long. I hope the film will just be the beginning of a new set of films for the franchise. I loved the teaser trailer that for the movie and hope it will show the apes talking too. I think the CGI element of the APES is cool so it is more real then ever before. It seems like the acting is great as well. So this could be the making of a new set of remakes that look better then the originals. Of course this is really not a remake because in the classic Apes films they never showed how the apes got control of the earth. I would say to anyone who wants to see this movie though. Rent or buy the original PLANET OF THE APES films before you see this one so you know what there all about.

I say that because i hate it when people go see like the 2nd film in a collection of films and ask why Frodo has to get rid of the ring? Or Where did superman come from?

I have heard people say those things when I was leaving movies and I just have to look back to see who is dumb enough to say them and then i always seem to see some young air head girl who don't know much. Always know what your paying to see before you go see it.. Please.... It makes you sound smarter and it also makes you not sound like a dumb ass at the movies.
OK well I think that's enough of my opinions for now. Go see the new RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES movie coming 8-5-11 I have a feeling it will be great.

The new TRON Legacy is really much much better then the 1st Tron film from the 80s. I bought TRON Legacy I rented the film then bought it because i loved the movie that much. Now the first tron movie I remember from when I was a kid. I used to even have the toys of the movie. I always thought it looked so cool but the story in the first film seemed so boring to me then and even after watching it again as an adult. I just could not get my self to enjoy the first tron.

OK so now that they finally did it right I am a big fan. So this is a good lesson for movie studios to learn from. Sometimes when the first film looks great and the story is not you need to wait 25 years then make a better part 2. Hahahaha! yeah that's what happened with this movie.

Well being serious now. I just want to say that the style of this movie is freaking amazing! I am an artist so I can truly respect the artists that did all the work for this kind of movie. It really makes the movie so much more interesting to see as the great story and action make it become a real classic in my eyes.

I also gotta say the music in this film is all done by DAFT PUNK. They are so good at this kind of music. They were the the best pick for music for the film. Their music just fits so well. So anyway I want to say buy this movie if your into cool light affects and lots of action in a computer world. You really don't need to see the first movie to watch it also. So that is good for new comers to the TRON world. Well that all from me for now. I give this movie a 10 on a 1 to 10 scale. Great classic movie...

Captain America: The First Avenger The new trailer.... How Cool!!!!

Captain America: The First Avenger looks to be better then I ever thought it could be. The brand new full length movie trailer Say's it all. I really need not write anything about the film to show how great it looks to be. It stands on its own and apart from other films. I like the old world war 2 set up and how old fashion it does look. I really like that time in history though. I know the world had some hard times back then with the Nazi's trying to destroy the world and make it in their own image but the way most people were back then was more interesting to me. Any way getting back to the point, I really want to see this movie and I hope it will be all that I hope it can be.

 I don't know much about Captain America but I know enough to like the story and how he is a real true American hero. I like good positive hero's of the old day's back when doing the right thing was taught to all kid's with all kinds of comic book hero's doing good thing's to make the world a better place. I do not see that any more and that is sad because the kid's these day's need good role model's to look up to and teach them good not bad thing's. My role modal is Jesus Christ first of all and then after him is Superman and Optimus Prime. Those are the hero's of my personal life from when I was a child and even now I still value some of the thing's I've learned from them back when I was a kid. Jesus by the way is still my role modal and will always be. Well enough of all that for now hope you enjoy the movie trailer and my new post see you next time.

At the mountains of madness not gonna happen.... Sad to hear.

In my last post I told you how Guillermo del Toro was going to be the director of the H.P. Lovecraft story "At the mountains of madness". Well since then there have been a lot of changes. Now the movie is not going to happen due to the fact that the movie was going to be rated R and cost $150 million to make. I believe that is about right for the films cost and rating unfortunately the movie company did not feel that way so it is a no go after all. I hate how the movie company's can not understand what the story's need to be turned into full length films. I'm sure none of the people who were handing off the money to make the film have never even read H.P. Lovecraft's story's to understand that they are so creepy and imaginative by far. So now that At the mountains of madness is no more. That will most likely mean none of H.P. Lovecraft's story's will be turned into a film. I was hoping for The call of Cthuhlu to be a movie or Dagon or The shadow over innsmouth. All great story's of Lovecraft's with a core that is shared between them all. Those are some of the best story's ever made in the horror/ Sci-fi world. Well that's my personal opinion anyway. So that sucks to have to let go of the wish to see H.P. Lovecraft's work come to life in film. Well maybe someday some one will see the true value in those story's and make them into the movies they need to be... Well that's it for now see you next time.

H.P. Lovecraft comes to the big screen.

I am not much of a scary movie or horror film fan for the most part but there are a few movies that stand apart to me. I enjoy mystery mixed with adventure and fantasy with sci-fi blended together well in story's. I love it when a story leads you through a world of mystery where you never know where the story will twist or turn to surprise me as the reader or viewer. This being said I am so happy to finally see that my favorite horror mystery and sci-fi story write H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains Of Madness is being turned to a feature film. I will without a doubt be amazing to see. It will scare the hell out of the viewers with a old fashion kind of monster mystery feel.

Now for all those who do not know anything about H.P. Lovecraft. OK so he was an amazing classic horror writer with imagination of epic proportion's. He envisioned a world where creatures from before humans ever walked the earth had come and lived and then had been called God's by man latter. They lived in a dark time on the planet and had power greater than we could ever imagine. They had such evil in their being that fear of them would make you mad. They were called the old ones and they came from the sky. Well the story's take place in the 1920's and they are filled with mystery and wonder. The story's keep your mind wanting to know what will happen next at all times. I personally love the story called The call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft but every story by him seems to take you deep into a dark time when monsters and evil seemed to be everywhere in the dark and men searched for strange realms and places where no man had ever been before. It was always about the adventure and the interesting things that happen along the way.

Director Guillermo Del Toro & Producer James Cameron

I will enjoy seeing just how the new film At The Mountains Of Madness will be on the big screen. I know it will be good knowing who it will be made by after all. The film will be directed by Guillermo del toro the famed director of both Hellboy films and the Producer of it will be none other then the man who made Alien and Avatar James Cameron.

 This will be done right knowing that

they both will be making the movie.

At the Mountains of Madness will most likely look like the king Kong movie that Peter Jackson made. It will have a city that dates back to before man ever walked the earth and strange monster like creatures that will kill almost all the members of the group of explorers that end up there. It film will have an alternite version of how the human race became but just remeber its just a story. I think it will be kind of like the older movie called the Thing that by the way is also being re-made into a new film.

It will be so creepy to see for sure. I want to see how much the story stays the same and how the movie version will be changed as well. It will take an amazing imagination to create most of the alien landscapes that are shown in the movie but without a doubt it will make me feel that old fashion horror feeling that horror movies used to have back when it was all about the mystery and fear not the gore and torcher like horror movies these days seem to be stuck on so much. I really hate that when they just shock you by cutting off someones head right on camera and showing all the gore like that is the whole point of a scary movie or something. I like it when they scare you with your own imagination like the shining did or like some of the older films from 30 years back. I know all the younger kids these days don't know anything about that but they really should because those movies back then were the classics that made it possible to make the films that are here today. Well anyway H.P. Lovecraft is one of the greatest writes I've ever known of in the dark and scary old style. He created such great story's that they lasted the test of time and are still called the real classics today. I will always enjoy his version of what scary is because he scares you with your own imagination and that is what really stands out about his book's so please anyone reading this check out some of his work. He really was ahead of his time. Well thanks again for reading my take on movies I like. I hope you will enjoy the story's by H.P. Lovecraft as much as I do.

The Hobbit... In 2012 it will be a movie at least part 1

The Hobbit movie has been a project of director Peter Jackson's for sometime now.

its been back and forth up and down for the film with everything from who would direct it to actors strikes. The film has been through hell and back. Peter Jackson is now directing it. instead of just producing the movie. That is so good for all the fans of the Lord of the rings films.There is no doubt in my mind that he is the perfect one for the job. I read the Hobbit book and loved it. I even sent it to my girlfriend. I truly loved the story and class the Hobbit book as one of the greatest story's I've read ever. So when I found out it is finally being turned into a feature film. I was so happy. I seen all the Lord of the rings films and own them on DVDs even. I think that the Hobbit is better though. I loved how the story had more of a adventure feel. The Lord of the rings story's has that too but its more about war and the movement to get rid of the evil ring. In the hobbit it feels more like a lighter young adults kind of story. It really takes me back to a childhood imagination time. Back when the world was new and full of mystery. I like story's that make me feel that way so that being said that is why I like the Hobbit so much.




On the set of the Hobbit in New Zealand

 

The story will be narrated by Frodo and Bilbo.
It will be long like the Lord of the rings so to tell the story best they will turn the story into two parts. The Hobbit Part .1 and The Hobbit Part .2. This will make it easy on the viewers and also it will make it so the whole story is told with all the detail that it deserves. I know 2012 will be another big year for movies with Superman and Batman movies coming as well but the Hobbit will more then likely be huge when it hits the big screen. I know I will be there to see Bilbo Baggins when he first gets the ring from Gollum in that cave in middle-earth.It will also be nice to see how Bilbo meets Gandalf the gray for the first time. I can't wait to see it the way I imagined it when I read the story so long ago.
Well I hope the movie will move along without any more troubles. I will be watching close on the work on this movie as time moves on....
