X-Men - Days of Future Past movie review

X-Men - Days of Future Past

Okay so I have been so super pumped for this movie since I saw the first trailer. I have loved all the previous X-Men movies and I am an old school fan, as in watching the cartoons as a child. My favourite character is Gambit and unfortunately he was not in this movie.

This movie as promising things about it. Having the younger and older versions of Magneto and Professor X would be great but... I don't know. I enjoyed the movie, I just didn't love it. But what I did love was Evan Peters as Quicksilver. He was just hilarious.

The premise of the movie is that the mutants are being hunted to extinction by the Sentinels, who were created by Bolivar Trask. The Sentinels start taking out the mutants and any humans who help the mutants. Knowing that they cannot win this war they decide to send Wolverine's consciousness back to his younger self in the 70's. They think that because Mystique kills Bolivar Trask and that starts the Sentinel program, so if they stop her from killing him that the Sentinel's never get made. Wolverine starts with Professor X and Beast, persuading them of what needs to be done the next they have to break out Magneto who is imprisoned underneath the pentagon, well Wolverine knew the only person who could break him out was Quicksilver. The escape was great then off they went to track down Mystique.After numerous attempting at trying to persuade her Magneto decides to take things into his own hands, so that means him and Professor X are back to being enemies again.

As this is happening in the past, the mutants in the future, Storm, Colossus, Kitty Pryde, Iceman, Bishop, Blink and the older versions of Magneto and Prof X are hiding from the Sentinel's who are heading their way. You also find out that Bolivar Trask uses Mystique's DNA and using it in the Sentinel's allow them to adapt to their enemies, which makes them harder to kill. 

I don't want to give the ending away but things do get worked out. And you end up seeing faces that you thought you would never see again.

Starting to love JL as Mystique - Do Not Move!

This might sting a little

Yes I am Magneto, you should bow to my greatness. Plus I'm super hot :)

The A-Team

Will somebody just kill him already

Sentinel, future

Sentinel, past

The boys are back in town!! 

Don't worry guys, I got this.

Just die already

So overall, it was good, not the best X-Men movie I've ever seen but it was still good. 

Godzilla Movie Review

Godzilla

Okay so the trailers for this movie have looked pretty awesome but I have seen a ton of trailers that the movie looks promising then it blows. Well this is not one of them. I was iffy due to the last Godzilla movie, the Matthew Broderick one, was kind of bad. And I wasn't sure what to expect but damn. I could not rip my eyes from the screen, even watching it at our local theatre with it's crappy ass 3D glasses I couldn't stop watching it. It just sucks you right in. At the end of the movie I looked to my left at my friend who I with, and said 'We should just stay and watch it again.' It was that good.

I was expecting the same premise of Godzilla coming to America or wherever and destroying the city. But this was different. Godzilla is actually the good guy. He realized that the two Muto's were destroying there way across countries trying to meet up to make more Muto's and that was when Godzilla awakened. To keep the balance in the world he must destroy the Muto's and he does while the military try to kill all three of them.

The special effects were good, the actors were good, I think overall a great movie. Probably one of the best so far this year.

Wow Kick Ass, you grew up

 Together at last!!

I don't think it's a submarine 

It's on the move 

It's bird, it's a plane, it's Superman, nope it's a Muto 

Mama Muto on the move

I have never seen a more visually appealing fall from the heavens 

Hold on this might get a little wet. 

Roar!!!!!! Do not fuck with Godzilla

So peeps, if you haven't watched it yet, get out there and do it. If you have, let me know what you think?

Movie Review - The Amazing Spider-man 2

Movie Review - The Amazing Spider-man 2

So for this movie I got to experience my first IMAX 3D movie. I live in a little town that has a small theatre, 6 screens I think and 2 are only equipped with 3D, but not good 3D, crappy 3D. The glasses are huge and the lenses are tiny so watching 3D there is not enjoyable. So that is why I/We go out of town, better screens, better 3D, comfier seats. 

Okay so the movie was okay. I'm a Spider-man fan but I am not familiar with the whole Amazing Spider-man story, just the regular Spider-man. I know that the characters are somewhat similar, Aunt May, Harry Osbourn but in The Amazing Spiderman, Peter's love interest is Gwen Stacy not Mary-Jane Watson. I always felt the Spider-man movies with Toby Maguire were comparable to the Batman movies from the 90's, kind of cartoony and entertaining. Now I will admit I did not go to the movies to watch the first Amazing Spider-man. I was hesitant about Andrew Garfield as Spidey, but by the end of the second movie I'm starting to like him more and more, he just has that awkward thing about him, he kind of reminds me of a younger Matt Smith from Doctor Who.

The movie was entertaining and I loved Electro, I don't know if I enjoyed Jamie Fox as Electro but the character was pretty cool, all the special effects were pretty crazy and watching it on the IMAX screen I think made a huge difference. I think they should have left it with only one villain but they had to introduce two more and by doing that they left it open for the next movie. 

Peter and Harry, or is that a young Leo Dicaprio, kinda looks like it

He's not a gold digger but he's a little obsessed with Spidey

Can you feel the electricity in the air?

Hey Gwen, watch your landing

Hey is that you Paul Giamatti?

There you are Green Goblin

So overall if you are a Spider-man fan, watch it, you'll probably enjoy it. If you aren't a Spidey fan check it our for the awesome special effects. It's not the best movie I've seen lately, Captain America The Winter Soldier, but it's a good comic book movie.

Movie Review - Captain America the Winter Soldier

Movie Review - Captain America the Winter Soldier

Okay, where to start, oh yeah. Captain America the Winter Soldier has to be the best comic book/Marvel movie I have seen to date. It was amazing. So amazing that I want to watch it over and over and over again.

I've really been pumped to see this since watching the first trailer and I always hate getting excited about a movie because 90% of the time the movie lets me down but not this time. The Winter Soldier had lots of laughs, some tears, some very intense action sequences and just over all a fantastic ride.

I had the unfortunate experience of watching it in our small town theater which uses these awful, heavy 3D glasses that are blurry all around the edges of their tiny little lenses. But even though that all sucked, I was blown away by the movie.

I remember watching the first trailer after watching Thor 2 and I couldn't figure out who the Winter Soldier was and after checking IMDB (Best Site Ever!!!!) I then realized it was Bucky and all I could do was cry out "BUCKY NO!!!!!!" It was sad watching the Captain realize that it's Bucky and that Bucky doesn't remember him or really anything. 

The Cap looking hotter than ever. Seriously, he just keeps getting hotter and hotter. Yum, Yum.!!

Tear times

Meet Falcon

BUCKY NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay so overall you need to see this, your friend needs to see this, your mom, grandma, 3rd cousin once removed, every person should see this movie. It is Amazeballs!

Can't wait for Guardian's of the Galaxy

PS Make sure you stay past the credits, you get an Age of Ultron and Captain America 3 Easter Eggs.

Week of March 3 to 7th

Okay so the last couple weeks the TV world was on hiatus a little due to the Olympics and now since we're back to normal programming I can tell you what I think.

The Walking Dead:

So everybody is still separated, Beth and Darryl are still together; Rick, Carl and Michonne are still together; Glenn is still with that girl from The Governor's team trying to find Maggie and they also have met up with new people who look like ginger GI Joe, GI Joe Barbie and mister mullet Redneck. I'm not sure about Maggie and her group, or Carol and the girls. But right now I have no idea where the show is head and sometimes that's a good thing and a bad thing, but I will always tune in for it.

Bitten:

With Bitten I'm enjoying it. At first they were kind of staying close to the books but now, they are way off and I think that was their plan. Kelley Armstrong the author, has wrote on her Facebook page that the show is loosely based on books and there have been not so nice comments left on her wall. It's not really fair that people are so upset about it. At the beginning I didn't like some of the actors brought on for the characters and I know that happens when people love the books so much but I'm not freaking out about it. People need to relax and if they are so upset with the choices that the show's creators and producers are making then stop watching it and let people, like myself, who are enjoying it, enjoy it. I guess you can't make everyone happy.

Being Human:

I know with my last post about Being Human I told you that if there are people out there not watching it to watch it, and that is still true but I found out last week that they have cancelled the show and this is the last season ending in April. I was shocked because I thought a lot of people where watching it because it's fantastic but apparently there aren't. I hope that maybe Netflix or one of those online TV channels might buy it up and continue on but I don't think it's going to happen. So I hope that it ends on a high note and believe me how the last couple of weeks have been going it should.

Supernatural:

It just came back from a little hiatus which is great but I was disappointed with the last episode. I thought it was going to be fantastic because GhostFacers were back but it just seemed like a filler episode. I'm also getting so tired of seeing Sam and Dean hate each other so much. It's just sad.

The Following:

If there is anyone out there not watching this show you need to start, immediately. This show is amazing. The cast is perfect, the writing and plot are amazing, so amazing that you truthfully have no idea what is going to happen next, it changes like that and I love it. I would classify this show as a combination of Dexter and Criminal Minds and it works perfectly.

Helix:

I am behind by a couple episodes and I will catch up hopefully this weekend.

Movie Review:

300 - Rise of an Empire

Okay I went last night with a couple of friends and my movie experience started off kind of embarrassing when I dumped half of bag of popcorn on the poor guy in front of me. Sorry :( I felt like a complete ass and couldn't stop apologizing and the funny thing is he ate the popcorn that landed on his lap, lol. 

We ended up watching it in 3D plus the theatre we were at had these seats called D Boxes, and for those who don't know what those are they shake and vibrate along with the movie, and even though we didn't sit in those seats we actually sat across from them we still go to feel it and it was kind of cool. I think I will try the D Boxes, maybe for Captain America.

Okay so for the movie it was good. I watched 300 the night before getting all prepared for it and the second installment was not bad. Very bloody, but with the type of movie it is it should be expected. I liked the aspect that it shows what the rest of Greece is doing while the 300 Spartans march towards their doom. I also like the back story of how the King God became like that and his reasoning of why to attack Greece.

Overall it was a good movie, with a good amount of action. So I give it the 'V' stamp of approval.

To end this entry I have to say RIP Harold Ramis, you will be missed.

Okay Okay!!

Okay Okay, I know I haven't been around posting anything lately and that is due to trying to get caught up on my writing, I'm trying to finish my first teen book and the fourth book of the Lilly Reed Series.

I've decided that I'm going to just make one post a week talking about everything I want to get off my chest.

This post is going to be longer because I haven't been on here for awhile so here we go:

1. American Horror Story - Well I enjoyed this season a lot more than the second season Asylum. This season was a written better, acted better, just an overall better show, but truthfully even though I loved the idea of witches and stuff like that the first season was by far the best.  FX Canada

 2. The Walking Dead: Seriously can this show get any better. I am so in love with this show. I love that there are moments where you shed tears and there are moments that leave you sitting on the edge of your sofa, bouncing up and down not knowing what comes next. The second half of the season starts tonight and even though I don't have AMC I will be watching it tomorrow :( I hate that I have to wait but Bell charges way to much for a channel that is part of Rogers normal package, that doesn't make sense.... Stopping there I will stop my rant :) If you are reading this and you don't watch The Walking Dead, do it, do it now. LOL Peer pressure. The first season is a little slow but believe me it picks up and gets amazing. AMC

 3. Witches of East End: So one day I was channel surfing and I came across this commercial for this new show about witches. It kind of reminded me of Charmed and I loved Charmed so I thought 'Let's give it a go' and I was pleasantly surprised. The season is short but fantastic and I totally recommend it for anyone who loves witches and who loved the show Charmed. Lifetime

4. Helix: Again came across the commercial and thought it kind of reminded me of the movie The Thing and thought well this would be a good show to watch when nothing else is on and I was surprised that it's actually pretty good. Syfy

5. Being Human: Fourth Season just started a couple weeks ago and wow. This season is crazy and we're only a couple episodes in so I can't wait to see what other messed up and strange things they bring this season.Syfy & Space

6. Bitten: Okay so when Space mentioned that they would be adapting the Kelley Armstrong novel Bitten into a TV show I thought 'Oh god no.' I'm a huge Kelley Armstrong fan, I love her books Women of the Otherworld and I was worried about them chopping apart the book and doing it wrong. The book is about the only werewolf woman in existence and her pack. I hummed and haahed about it for weeks then I watched the first episode, meh. Plus I don't know about anybody else out there but have you read a book and found a guy or girl character that makes you swoon and you fall head over heels for a fictional character, well that happened to me. The character is Clayton Danvers and he's fantastic but the actor that is playing him is not him, he's not what I pictured. Now we're into the 5th episode and I'm starting to like him more and more but he's still not Clayton. I will continue to watch it, I have even found that I look forward to watching it weekly. Space & Syfy

7. Doctor Who: I know my blog is called Living Dead Girl - Blogger about things that go bump in the night - and that may not include SciFi stuff like Doctor Who but I love Doctor Who. I'm obsessed with Doctor Who. On November 23 was the 50th Anniversary for Doctor Who and a good friend of mine got me tickets to it in 3D and it was amazing. Then on Christmas was Matt Smith's last episode, it was a good farewell, an too early farewell, but a good farewell. Space

8. The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaueg - Excellent movie, I enjoyed it thoroughly but I have heard from die hard Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fans that even though the movie was good it really had nothing to do with the book and that Evangline Lilly's character wasn't even part of the book. I've tried to read the Lord of the Rings books but I failed, I found them to be boring. Maybe one day I'll try again.

9. Last is I, Frankenstein - Worst movie I possibly have seen. I actually fell asleep twice as we watched it. I thought by having the same feel as the Underworld movies that this would be good and boy was I wrong. The acting was horrible, the plot was horrible - Gargoyles VS Demons, that doesn't even make sense. Well I wish I could get my money back and my time wasted watching this piece of crap so this movie get a 'F' in my books

Okay well I think that's it. I could be missing some since I haven't done this in a while but I will update weekly or bi-weekly.

Ciao :)
