The Soloist Review

I caught The Soloist this weekend. I was very impressed with it. It was originally supposed to be released in November, but for some reason, they delayed it until now. However, it was worth it. Robert Downey Jr. was great, and Jamie Foxx was superb. I really loved the story. If you don't know what it is about, Robert Downey Jr. plays Steve Lopez, a writer for the LA Times, who finds a homeless man who can play the violin, his name is Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx), and Steve tries to help him. Also with Nathaniel Ayers, he has schizophrania. I highly recommend it.

Also last week, I saw 17 Again. To let you all know, I am not a fan of Zac Efron, but I did find this movie pretty good. There were very funny moments, especially with one of the characters. It also had a good story behind it. I recommend checking it out.

Well, this weekend, the summer movie season starts. X-Men Origins Wolverine comes out, I am so pumped.

Official, Terminator Salvation PG-13

Okay, I am sure some of you have heard the rumor for a long time that the new Terminator movie will be PG-13, well, it's is no longer a rumor. You can go on the website and see the rating for yourself. I am really excited for it. It looks like it will be amazing. I saw the first and second movie recently. I think Terminator 2 is such a great movie. Highly Recommended. There is so much to be excited for this summer. I thought I would let you know for any of you that are interested.

State of Play review

Last night, I was able to see State of Play. I thought it was very well done. Performances were very good. There were also plenty of twists where you had to keep focus on what was going on. If you haven't heard of it, it stars Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. Russell Crowe is part of a newspaper company that works on a story that involves a murder that has taken place. I won't go into too much detail, but I highly recommend it.

Also, I don't know if any of you have heard of a DVD player from ClearPlay. ClearPlay is a company that makes "filters" for a DVD player, so it is programmed for specific movies with high sexual content or high foul language, or very bloody violence, and it knows when to skip them. So I have been using the DVD player from ClearPlay, and rented a few movies to have the offensive content skipped. I have seen Wanted, Slumdog Millionaire, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, and The Terminator, with this device. I will be watching Terminator 2 soon. But it is amazing what technology can do these days.

Much to look forward to

Sorry I haven't written on this blog for a long time. I have been busy finishing college. I graduated a couple of days ago, and will be going to Brigham Young University this coming fall.

If you didn't get it last week, the Batman 3 casting news was an April fools joke. Some of the stuff was based off rumors that have been circulating on the net, definitely not Zach Efron or Brittany Spears though. I am sure there were a bunch of good April Fools jokes based on Batman 3. I don't know when it will happen, but hopefully Chris Nolan does something just as great as he did with The Dark Knight, he is a great director. His next movie is called Inception, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio.

Well, we have some movies out this weekend, however nothing that seems too exciting. Dragonball Evolution, which looks like not a whole lot of effort went into the adaptation of the very popular anime TV series. I thought the TV show was fun when it was on. I wonder why they couldn't put a little more effort into the movie.

However, if you haven't checked out Monsters vs Aliens, do so, I checked it out a couple of weeks ago in 3D, and it is very funny. Definetely recommended.

There is plenty of good movies coming out to theaters in the next couple of months. X-Men Wolverine will be awesome, I am excited for that, I just watched all of the previous movies recently, and I am now pumped. There is also Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, Night at the Museum 2, and Up, and also Angels and Demons, which looks rather interesting. There are also a bunch of good releases on Blu-Ray in the coming months. I am really excited. I will planning to come up with a little schedule for the DVDs and Blu-Rays that will be arriving in the next few months.

As well, Happy Easter, and remember the reason for celebrating Easter, and that it's not about a bunny delivering chocolate.

Batman 3 casting news

We now know who will be playing who in the new Batman movie released two years from. After The Dark Knight hit theaters last summer, everyone has been waiting to find out what will happen in the next one. The new movie will be entitled "The Caped Crusader". Christopher Nolan will be returning to the director's chair, and Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman will be returning to their respected roles. The new villians will be The Riddler, Catwoman, and The Penguin. The Riddler will be played by Nicolas Cage, who has been talking about being in the new Batman movie recently, well this must be his role. Catwoman will be played by Brittany Spears, who has been looking for a way to reboot her career after her many mistakes. Phillip Seymour Hoffman will be playing the Penguin. As well, Zac Efron will be joining the cast as Robin. So there you go, now we know the cast, whether we like it or not. And in other news, McG has agreed to do a sequel to the biggest blockbuster of all time, Titanic. And also, APRIL FOOLS DAY!

Fast and Furious is making it's way to the big screen this weekend, there were plenty of pretty good releases on DVD and Blu-Ray yesterday. I hope you have a great day.
