To be totally fair about it, my overall opinions on the new Amazing Spider-Man movie haven’t changed too much from when I talked about it months ago. I’m still not sure about this whole Untold story or that from this latest trailer I get the hint that Peter Parker was always met to be spider-man? Um what? I’m pretty sure it happened by a mistake, he was doing something he shouldn’t have been.. no one plan for him to be bitten by a spider-like that.
But you never know when it comes to Hollywood and their crazy ideas to make something that works already better. Just like the first series of movies that focus too much on Peter’s life and not on spider-man. I hope that this movie, focusing on what Spider-man is. Lets look at this, now I’m no comic book nerd an nor do I pretend that I know every last detail of the comics.
What I do know is that Peter’s life is a living hell for him, he has a girlfriend, he goes to college. He’s really smart so everyone expects him to get good grades, he has his aunt who he feels guilty that she is alone now because he blames himself for his uncle’s death. Plus he needs a job to make his rent and have food and all that to live on. All of this is stressful for him and becoming spider-man is his stress release. This is why spider-man is a wise-cracker.
It may just be my opinion, but to he honest from the number of media I’ve watched and read (not counting the movies) he is Spider-man most of the time. The only time he wasn’t spider-man was when he went to see his aunt or was going to school which I know he sometimes missed in his early years. But for the most part, he was spider-man because he felt free of the stress. So I never understood that in the movies why they kept him as peter all the time. Maybe it was a budget issue, but maybe if they took the risk and had him be spider-man most of the movie, people would love it and it would more than likely make a lot of money.
Official Trailer
The latest trailer looks pretty solid if you ask me, I like the fact things are brighter now and not so dark. This makes things look better if you ask me. I hate seeing CGI effect at night because I know it looks more fake and after Transformers you can do CGI in bright day light just fine now. Don’t be lazy and lame with it.
Overall I’m gonna go see it likely on opening night I’m not sure if it’ll make all kinds of money but I’m pretty sure it’ll be number one for at least a week or two. It would have to really be too cliche and bad for it not too.

I’m not a big fan of G.I. Joe to be honest with you, but what I am a fan of are just big entertainment movies that have a remote easy to follow story, some good action and above all else good acting. Nothing worst then watching an action blow them all up movie with a plot that really does nothing and acting that wouldn’t get you out of a paper bag.
That being said, today I’d like to chat about G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Now I didn’t go see the first one in theaters, I end up watching it on NetFlix months and months after the fact. It was OKAY in all truth the acting wasn’t really that great and the only thing really that I found good about it was Joseph Gordon Levitt who played this character called ‘The Doctor’ who end up at the end being Cobra Commander.
Now that was a mind twist to me and I really enjoy that, however looks like they are going another route with sequel because not only does it appear that Cobra Commander is going to be totally different, but also play by someone else. Which is too bad but I guess Joseph Gordon Levitt would rather have done The Dark Knight Rises which.. hell I don’t blame him.
Official Trailer
The last thing I will say about the movie, that it does come out on June 29th 2012 so we still have about two more months for it to come out. I may go see this, just for the shit’s and giggles this summer, my list of movies long with Spider-Man, The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, etc. The one thing that is sticking out is Cobra Commander look which in the first one, I was like well guess they wont do his look from the cartoon due to some issue with some one.. but this time they pretty much have Cobra Commander looking like, well Cobra Commander. And I like that, plus it has the Rock in it so it can’t be too horrible, I mean I went and saw Doom but I was a big fan of Doom.. it’s too bad that got ruined.

Men in Black, oh one of my favitore movies from way back, the 3rd movie is coming out FINALLY on May 25th 2012. As you can guess it stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, but this time there is a twist. The story of Men in Black 3 takes place ten years after the 2nd, and 15 years after the first movie (those wondering of the timeline). It also starting a set number of other actors and actresses which are all in my opinion pretty funny people.
If nothing this movie is going to be a send off to the series and hopefully will end on a good note and not well suck, I mean Barry Sonnenfeld is returning and Steven Spielberg returning as executive producer. Other then the Transformer movies, which I don’t really blame Spielberg for (he was also executive producer for those) I don’t think any movie he has been apart of has been horrible. But this could be the first.
Official Trailer
One of the big things for me when it comes to movies are the trailers, the trailer can really suck me in and some times can just turn me off from something. The trailers.. are so FREAKY funny.. maybe some people may not but for me I laughed. Men in Black film series which is based on the Malibu / Marvel comic book series The Men in Black by Lowell Cunningham, I personally never read the comics but so far both movies have been awesome. I’m holding out that this one is great too, I’ll be there likely maybe this might be the first movie I ever see in 3D.

Well there isn’t really much I need to say about the movie, first off I was shocked, it’s been out and about now the news for a while, for those of you who are anime fans, you may remember Rurouni Kenshin from the good old days of Toonami on Cartoon Network. For everyone else who are scratching their head wondering who the hell Rurouni Kenshin is, well let me break it down with an entry from Wikipedia.
Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story,also known as Rurouni Kenshin and Samurai X, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nobuhiro Watsuki. The fictional setting takes place during the early Meiji period in Japan. The story is about a fictional assassin named Himura Kenshin, from the Bakumatsu who becomes a wanderer to protect the people of Japan. Watsuki wrote this series upon his desire of making a shōnen manga different from the other ones that were published in that time, with Kenshin being a former assassin and the story taking a more serious tone as it continued. Although the tragic tone was highly expanded as the manga advanced, Watsuki became determined to give it a happy ending as it was aimed at teenagers.
That’s being said, the movie look freaky AWESOME! For those of you, the poor souls who just so happen to go to the movies and watch Dragon Ball Evolution.. I’m sorry first off. You may be asking. Oh great they are making a movie base off another anime.. the sky if falling. Well while I would agree with you that could be the case, this movie is being done in Japan, meaning they are making it with Japanese actors. Given Rurouni Kenshin takes place in Japan and its for the most part about an era of Japan history, it only seems fitting.
The trailer above has English subtitles, the movie will be release in Japan and likely wont see an English Release, from what I’ve been able to gather but I could be wrong. If nothing we’ll get a Sub version and not a dub, which is fine by me. If the movie comes out here, I’ll be there to see it.

Well I don’t think I’m shocked to be perfectly honest with you, it seems that Hollywood’s likes to make movies they’ve already made. Call it lack of new talent, and I don’t mean the actors or actress, I mean the writers, the people who come up with the stories.
You might stop and wonder.. maybe we’ve already made everything there is to be made?? Maybe people are so bored of movies now that come out now a days.. well I think in some ways it’s both. Don’t get me wrong, some really fun movies have come out in the last 5 years, but nothing like the good old days of the 80s and 90s.
Sure you can question that, 80s? WTF yeah I know.. but I grew up in the 80s, just like someone who grew up in the 70s or 60s will say those movies are the shit compare to today. Truth is, I can name a number of really good movies that came out from 1980 to 1989. Let me see.. off the top of my head, Annie, Back to the Future, Beverly Hills Cop, Batman, Big, Blade Runner, Cocoon, Coming to America, Die Hard, Dirty Dancing, E.T., The Empire Strikes Back, Evil Dead, Ghostbusters, Karate Kid, The Naked Gun, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Police Academy, Predator, Rambo: First Blood , Rocky III, Short Circuit, Superman 2, and lastly Robocop.
That’s not even all of them, just browse 1980s to 1989 and you will find a massive list of movies that I bet some of them you forgot even came out in the 80s. What I’m saying is, those where some awesome movies and many of those movies had a number of spinoffs, sequels and some, yes have already had some remakes/reboots (Nightmare on Elm Street, Superman, Batman) with Robocop being next on the hit list so to speak.
I heard about the reboot months and months ago, but didn’t think anything of it really. That was until this latest news I read over the weekend about the release date, and in most cases I’ve seen when some thing gets a release date, generally means they are pretty close to making it. August 9, 2013
Sony Pictures has set the release date for the Jose Padilha-directed which I have to say after I read the article about it. I have some hopes this movie might be pretty good if it fits within the story itself. We run into the issues with later films but right now lets focus on the one.
“In the first ‘RoboCop’ when Alex Murphy is shot, gunned down, then you see some hospitals and stuff and then you cut to him as RoboCop. My movie is between those two cuts. How do you make RoboCop? How do you slowly bring a guy to be a robot? How do you actually take humanity out of someone and how do you program a brain, so to speak, and how does that affect an individual?”
This right here, that is interesting to me. One of the biggest problems I personally have had with so many remakes, reboots of films is they are just retelling, often times just trying to do it better with better acting, better CG work. Whatever the case, that is why I think Batman Begins did so well, sure it was a reboot, sure we’ve already seen the Joker.. and Two Face.. and what’s to come BUT they did something different. They show us something we never saw before, how Batman became Batman. This, how did Robocop become that.. what was the process.. that is very interesting to me.
We’ll see however, I really love the first 2 films, not so much the 3rd and the TV shows I never really got that much into it. But we’ll see how it goes right? I mean it could totally suck.. but I’m hoping for a good film here. So what do you think? Leave a comment down below and tell me what you think.
