Movies

So I haven't blogged in a while and suddenly realized that I'm wasting this blog so I'm back. Update on my life-I have two weeks left in school and a month before I go to DC. Now on to more subjects, yallah:

I was reading up on some reviews for the latest X-Men movie and for the Da Vinci Code and was unimpressed by what the two movies have to offer. To start off, X-Men still seems stuck on the one problem it has had since the first movie: too many characters and not enough development. Granted there is a good amount of development on its main characters, Wolverine, but it brushes off on those who are quite important in the comics, Cyclops. I read that in the latest movie Angel is wasted along with a couple of other new characters; now if wasting a character isn't annoying enough, they go and put pictures of Angel on their advertisements, I hate when they do that. That's just going to lead to disappointment.

Da Vinci Code seems like a movie that was quickly put together in order to take advantage on the popularity of the book (aka make money) but without giving too much thought into the actual story. Same old same old, Hollywood making crap movies to make money (summer blockbuster). Ok ok I seem like a snob now so I'll concede... I haven't seen either film so I am not qualified to comment, so take my review with a grain of salt (since I have so many people reading my blog). However, I wouldn't be surprised if I go see the movies and I'm right (I'll see X-Men). So for all the hate mail (er.. hate comments) that I will or will not get, save it :).

I, too, am worried X-Men, for the same reasons you mentioned .. they just can't seem to be able to stop adding characters! .. When they do a spinoff with just wolverine, that should be great!

Da Vinci Code interesting to watch but I smell the propaganda that this movie/book is trying to push on us.

X 3 was OK and I still think that they did not kill Cyclopse. BUt whats for sure is that there is going to be a prequell all about Wolverine

What do you mean you don't think they killed Cyclops? You're missing the point... he wasn't there for the entire movie! Whatever...

That prequel sounds good though, look forward to it..

Yes, the Da Vinci Code is just a bad version of the book. They would have been better off waiting for Tom's hair transplant first.

I am the sort of hombre who enjoys to try different things. Currently I am making my own solar panels. I'm making it all by myself without the aid of my men. I'm using the internet as the only path to acheive that. I stumbled upon a very amazing website that explains how to contruct photovoltaic panels and wind generators. The internet site explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.

I'm not sure bout how accurate the info given there is. If some guys over here who had xp with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the thread it would be great and I'd really value it, cause I extremely enjoy [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].

Thanks for reading this. U people are the best.
