a few things (as I try to slowly catch up on blogging)
Hey guys,
Well, here's a few quickie things...
Watched a few movies over the past few days, and let's get some quickie reviews:
-GI Joe: Resolute: A new, updated cartoon that seems to be more based on the recent comic series.
THE GOOD: Absolutely tremendous action sequences (especially the showdown between Storm Shadow & Snake Eyes), the weapons/vehicle designs were updated and great, the tradition of whomever voiced Starscream does Cobra Commander continues, the new take on Destro VA-wise was interesting (as it's very Connery-esque).
THE BAD: Two semi-major secondary characters killed in the first 10-15 minutes, then another semi-major secondary character killed later (all 3 fan faves, good guys & bad guys). Also, a grand total of FOUR voice actors (3 male VAs/1 female VA) to voice the ENTIRE CAST. And the entire male cast character models reminded me of He-Man, where everyone was absolutely/ridiculously ripped.
-Zack & Miri Make a Porno:
THE GOOD: A hilarious combo cast of Judd Apatow's usual suspects with Kevin Smith's crew & direction.
THE BAD: Nearly enough deleted/extended scenes to do a 2nd movie. WOW.
-The House Bunny:
THE GOOD: Staring at Rumer Willis (Bruce's daughter) and Emma Stone. Not much else.
THE BAD: A 2nd strike here for a non-Sandler-cameo'ing Happy Madison production (the first being "Strange Wilderness"). Anna Faris is VERY typecast now, as nearly every movie she does anymore is practically the same character. Sandler PA/great buddy Jonathan Loughran in drag, YIKES!
More to blog about later, including Matt moving Amanda to Maryland Heights!
