about the movies

Mother Earth has since let up a little on the weather aspect and these days it's bright and shine all day long. But of course, people being people, we are now crying foul that there is no rain. Can never satisfy them, can you?

Anyways, I've watched quite a few movies since I landed here [landed not arrived, BTW], and none of them have turned out to be disappointments. It's like fate is making up for all the boredom I had to perservere when I was on hols. There was Superman Returns - which totally rocked coz Lois has an actual husband on earth but it was so obvious she still had a thing for Clark, and - get this - they have a son [who Lois thinks is Richard's] who actually happens to be impervious to Kryptonite. Cant wait for the next installment - where he'll probably have grown up and taken over where his dad left off [but wait, Superman cant die, can he?], although knowing Hollywood, they'll probably develop a vulnerability for him, maybe even ultraviolet rays just to spice things up, sometimes they suck. Just sometimes.

Then there was X-Men The Last Stand. This one I liked coz Wolverine and Jean finally did something about their feelings [although Cyclops had to die for it to happen, I totally dont mind], but in the end she died. I dont see another sequel for this one. But who knows?

Then Underworld Evolution. THis movie has like six people in it's cast list, everyone - or should I say everything - else being a werewolf, ugly apparition or just plain ugly. But it was thorough. Not just coz Kate Beckinsale is drop-dead gorgeous [where has she been all my life? :)] and moves at the speed of light, but it actually has an emotional side. And Scott Speedman [he of Felicity fame] isn't that bad either, just could have been better. The others weren't so major - Hitch, Man on Fire, V for Vendetta [actually this one was classic - I just dint watch it big screen] and Uptown Girls. Still arranging for M:I-3, tho all sources indicate it's major boredom. But I wanna discover just how boring all by myself. If I have to pay for it and get unjazzed I know I'll probly end up crying foul or raw deal but that matters not for now. We never learn, do we?
