Today's reviews. Actually saw two movies today at the theaters. It was raining and my 8 year old had been bugging the crap out of me to see Wolverine. Took in the 4:00 matinee. The movie really jumps around and has way more story telling, slow parts than is needed. But then, that's kind of the premise of the whole movie...the beginnings of the X-men etc. Good special effects and Hugh Jackman is a bad ass, doing a lot of his own stunts in the movie. It's a Marvel Comics story and surprisingly, a ton of people are actually killed but it's obvious they leave out all the blood and gore they could have put in to liven it up. Not necessary though with a PG-13 rating. It's a rental if you're into the Marvel Comic scene..which I am.
Okay, shortly after situating the 8 year old with grandma, I'm back to the theater with the wife for a uterus flick. Ghosts of girlfriends past with Matthew McConaughey (sp?) So, within a couple of hours of each other, I'm watching movies with the last two sexiest men on earth. Does that make me...? Oh the hell with it. I pacified the wife and sat through it. Okay guys, if you have a date or wife and they want to take in a cutesy love flick...go. It's actually funny as hell. Matthew Mc plays a playboy who's fucked more hot ass than any man alive, but of course, there's the one girl..Jennifer Garner, who he's had a thing for since childhood. All very predictable throughout but with a top notch cast, including Michael Douglas, it's really not bad for a chick flick. It's worth the cash only if you have to pacify a date/wife who wants to see that kind of movie. It's pretty entertaining.
