That was fun!

So I went to see "Race to Witch Mountain" last night and I enjoyed it immensely. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays a very likable, yet down on his luck fellow who has to deal with an inordinate amount of abnormalities. The two young actors who played Seth and Sarah (the aliens) did an excellent job of portraying two extra-terrestrials who are trying to blend in while attempting to accomplish their urgent mission.

What's more, the film didn't spend a lot of time dilly-dallying or giving you too much exposition. It just jumped right into the the crux of the story and the action. But the really cool part was that it never felt rushed.

What's more, it's a great movie for the whole family. And when I say that, I mean that. It doesn't just cater to the kids. The script doesn't talk down to its audience at all. Plus, there's some cool action sequences and the dialogue (while clean) doesn't come across as overly sanitized.

I'll most likely pick this one up when it comes out on DVD simply because it was so much fun.

Seth Rogen is not that good.

Seriously. I've seen the guy in a couple of films and like, one episode of "Undeclared". He has his moments, but overall, I don't find him funny. What's worse is that now he has a new film that basically looks like a darker remake of "Paul Blart: Mall Cop".

Paul Blart was funny. It wasn't perfect, but it was funny, charming and Kevin James played a very likable character.

Based on the trailer that I've seen for Rogen's new film (which I will not name because it doesn't deserve any free publicity from me), it's going to suck. Rogen's character is not likeable, he's not charming, he's not funny, and neither is this movie. And I feel bad for Ray Liotta. He should be making better career choices than this. He was Shoeless Joe, for cryin' out loud!

Seriously people, stop supporting Seth Rogen's films and we may see less of him (please, please, please)!

Quite possibly the greatest movie... ever!

Attention everyone!

For those of you that haven't heard, Sylvester Stallone is making a new movie.

"Big deal!" I hear you say.

To that, my response is "You're damned right it's a big deal!"

Not only is he starring in the film (titled "The Expendables"), but he's also writing and directing it. Additionally, he's cast the following individuals:

Jason Statham
Jet Li
Dolph Lundgren
Eric Roberts
Randy Couture
Charisma Carpenter
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Terry Crews
Mickey Rourke
Danny Trejo
And it may even feature a cameo by The Governator himself: Arnold Schwarzenegger!

What's it about? So, far, what we know of the script is this: a group of "soldiers of fortune" go down to South America on a suicide mission to eliminate an evil dictator. Sounds kind of like the Dirty Dozen or the A-Team, doesn't it? :D

And while you may be saying, Why would I want to see a bunch of old guys in an action film, I recommend you take a gander at this pic.

Now, if he's putting that much effort into his physique, you can bet that his co-stars will as well.

Currently the movie is set to be released in 2010, but personally, I can't wait to see this film. Every time I hear a new tidbit of new, it just sounds more and more AWESOME!

That is all, please return to your regularly scheduled web-surfing.

Crisis over.

Ok, The problem that caused my previous post has been dealt with. No lives were lost in the course of the discussion and we gained a clearer understanding of where the other person is coming from. Disaster averted... Until next time.

Whiskey Tango Hotel?

Women are frustrating. For example, the one I'm dating never ceases to frustrate me. Why? Because I'll say something that in my mind is not insulting. In fact, I don't even remotely, in the farthest recesses of my mind, ever even mean for said comment to be insulting and yet, she takes it as an insult of some sort, (which blindsides me) and starts some lengthy argument/discussion about the nature of our relationship and how we really need to work on our communication. Or she'll just give me the silent treatment and then hang up on me after a few minutes. GRRR!

So yeah, I'm loving my girlfriend right now. Isn't it obvious?
