The Avengers (Film) | Rating: 4.5/5
Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. brings together a team of super humans to form The Avengers to help save the Earth from Loki and his army.
Usually I write long reviews about movies I see in theaters. However, this one will be short. The Avengers was GREAT.
Personally, I disliked most of the solo Avenger movies (i.e. I thought the “Captain America” + “Thor” films were boring. I loved Iron Man but didn’t like Iron Man 2) so I thought this film was going to be lackluster. I was wrong.
My only complaint is I thought Tobey Maguire/Spiderman should have been in this movie. I can see why they might not have done it since the Spiderman reboot comes out this summer but still, I wanted to see it. Maybe next time?
Overall, the film had a good plot, great action, + some hilarious dialogue. Go see it.
The Expendables 2 (Trailer) | Summer 2012
This looks pretty good. The first one turned out to be better than expected. I love how half of the people in here can hardly talk/have thick accents, haha. This summer is going to have a bunch of big blockbuster movies unlike last year -_-
Song of the Day | The Cranberries: “Zombie”
But you see, it’s not me, it’s not my family.
In your head, in your head, they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying
SO true. I usually grab some paper towels to pretend I don’t have to pee + go to the next floor, LMAO!
Horns (novel) - Joe Hill | Rating: 3.5/5
Ignatius William Perrish wakes up bleary and confused after a night of drinking and “doing terrible things” to find he has grown horns. In addition to being horribly unsightly, these inflamed protuberances give Ig an equally ugly power—if he thinks hard enough, he can make people admit things (intimate, embarrassing, I-can’t-believe-you-just-said-that details). This bizarre affliction is of particular use to Ig, who is still grieving over the murder of his childhood sweetheart (a grisly act the entire town, including his family, believes he committed).
This book turned out to be much better than I expected. I should have known considering Joe Hill is Stephen King’s son. However, the story has it’s flaws, just like the Devil, haha. THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
There were a couple of things I had issues with. One, the story was almost a little too predictable for me (or maybe I’m just a good guesser). I knew who the killer was the minute they were introduced to the readers. I felt I was robbed of an “ah ha” moment because before the truth was revealed, I’d been saying, “It’s ___. That’s the only person it could be.” I also knew Merrin’s “secret” in the attic. Two, the story could be painfully drawn on. I wasn’t disappointed with the writing, Joe Hill has an amazing way of telling a story. However, I was just like when are we going to get this ball rolling + stop with the random flashbacks?! Finally, the build up to the final confrontation took SO long + the payoff was NOT substantial enough, IMO. I hated the ending. It was borderline corny. I would have much rather seen Ig end up in London, living the life Merrin wanted for him. Ah well, life doesn’t always grant us happy endings.
I’d still recommend this book to anyone looking for a quality story + a quick read. I hear “Heart Shaped Box” is THE Joe Hill book to read so might skip “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” and read it next.
