This cute little girl is apparently being starved, because this is what she does to frisbees:
And all of the plastic from that frisbee has taken the day-long trip to the ground via Kelly’s innards.
And then she strikes again!

Okay so the review for Breaking Dawn beat out this review, but better late than never, although its usually never.
What was surprising about Immortals was that it actually had a decent story to it, not fantastic but engrossing albeit cliched in places, however that’s the territory you get with action movies. Furthermore the action was actually good, which can’t be said for many action movies ironically. The cast acted well and it wasn’t a name fest either.
As mentioned before there were several blatant clichés that occur in the movie. The virgin oracle being the love interest was one, however I’ll give at least that one because the god Apollo at least appeared in it.
The other problem was that there were several instances of really poor 3d direction as there was seriously bad focus. Also almost every major scene change had awful morph transitions, which just became aggravating by the end as there was no need for them to exist.
Overall I enjoyed it, it was at least worth the couple extra bucks it costs for 3d. I’d say 7/10 with ease.
Okay, we went to see breaking dawn last night so I’m going to do a quick review of it. As it’s a two-parter it’s a little unfair to give a complete review to only half of the story.
First up are the cons, my primary problem was just a major pacing issue. There was no particular urgency about Bella’s predicament despite multiple complaints that she was at serious risk. Furthermore the opening was exceptionally slow and didn’t accomplish much except “hey look they’re leading a normal life”, which I know is the primary phase of any story, but hey we all just spent 5 hours with the previous movies so it felt very excessive.
What’s good is that Robert Pattinson is actually becoming a remarkable actor, which to his credit was Water for Elephants. Taylor Lautner really didn’t get much beyond emo teen angst, which was a detriment to his character.
The story was there, it’s just not exactly what you expect after the whole vampire battle.
Finally you got to see Kirsten Stewart look more like she was strung out on heroin or coke than you did in The Runaways, which was more just amusing and further proof that you can make your lead female look even worse than when she was just the plainest looking actress in Hollywood.
Overall I’d say 6/10, you’re better off waiting on this one, although my guess is that any guy seeing this had very little choice in the matter.
Hey look two posts in a month, who would have thought it. We just went to see Immortals, which had a surprisingly decent story for an action movie, a few cliche scenes but it worked. I’ll avoid spoilers outside of a review.
Oh well looks like the iPhone strikes again.
I now have an iPhone, which will allow me to blog from anywhere. Now if only there was an app to make me blog or to blog for me and then there wouldn’t be a problem with me posting.
Oh well, one less excuse at least.
