"What kind of monster are you?" "The Wolverine!"


Oh my god, Wolverine. Oh my god, Jean. Oh. My. God. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE.

Even though I mentioned about waiting for this film in the previous post, the part where Elli and I sat 45 minutes at the theatre waiting, I didn't mention what I felt like. I had been waiting for a year and now it was 45 minutes away from happening. And my stomach started hurting, I was so fucking excited and I couldn't even sit properly still, I breath like I was giving birth, or that's what we said,  I don't know. And Elli was getting pretty excited too, Aisha and Casper... Well I have no idea.

BUT THE MOVIE WAS SO GOOD. It was so much better than I expected! And it was ... it was like it was either a) a devastating scene, b) something hilarious or c) action. Well, I was fine with that. Mostly. I'm pretty sure I somewhat blacked out at one point, because suddenly I was all like WHAT IS GOING ON. And yeah.

I hardly cry at the cinema, I mean there's people and everything, ugh, you just can't cry there, right? I cried a bit at The Hunger Games, but just a little. But this time, woah, I started crying and then I cried more because there was make up on my eyes, and there was a line of make up on my face because I cried and everything.

And the scene after credits, oh my god.

I'm not sure what I can say about this movie without... spoiling. I don't know which ones of my few readers are going to see the movie but yeah, just in case.

But let me just say: woah.

"Why are you reading that book? Nobody reads books anymore! Movies are always better, especially sequels."


Hoodwinked! was probably one of the most legendary movies I saw as a kid. I mean they were hilarious. I watched the first one again last night, and now I watched the sequel. And yeah, it is a sequel, it doesn't beat the original one. But it still was pretty amazing. And I'm glad they kept few characters, like that Goat who was cursed, so he had to keep singing. One of my favourite characters. And by favourite character I mean I laughed my fucking ass off while watching the first movie. This time? Not so much. But the movie was pretty okay. I think I will stuck with the first one, though.

But yeah, the actors in these movies were amazing. And I don't even mind that Anne Hathaway wasn't Red in this one, Hayden Panettiere was pretty good. And you know, voice actors just are so bleeding good. I mean you can almost see a character (as a human, if it's not, like the wolf, or that bear who is police and so on). Also that little rabbit is still freaking me out so much, I mean come on.

"They'll kill him." "How?"


I went to see Man of Steel with Aisha. It was the premiere, or at least it was here. Again I got to enjoy Wolverine trainer before the film, ah. Anyway, I didn't know much about Superman when I went to see this movie. I thought it would be nice, since most Superhero films I watch... I know something about the character in advance. Except for X-men First Class, since I just watched it because of Jennifer Lawrence. But now I didn't know much - I knew Superman was an alien from Krypton and stuff. That's about it. 

I was actually impressed by the movie. I don't like Superman's character, though, he's a bit annoying. But the movie was well made, and very intense. I enjoyed myself most of the time (here I have to mention: we were in the loge. The chairs were awfully comfy, it was really nice), and it... the movie just clicked. It was good. I may see it again some day.

"I am better." "At what?" "Everything."


Everyone's been going on and on about newest Star Trek film. I decided to go check it out, since I wanted to start my cinema summer as soon as I could.

Star Trek Into Darkness, was pretty cool. Really exciting, and they had some brilliant actors there again. Chris Pine is awesome Kirk, Zachary Quinto is good as Spock, and they've just chosen the right actors to play characters that are more known played by someone else. But it's not just Kirk and Spock that are good, also Sulu, Chekov, Scotty and of course my favourite, Bones. And of course I enjoy seeing Leonard Nimoy every once in a while. But this casting is mostly the same as it was in the first J. J.'s Star Trek. But what about the new faces, Alice Eve, Benedict Cumberbatch?
Alice Eve was really good, as always. I've been really enjoying her other work as well. But we all know, that people are most excited about Cumberbatch. Well, he was just... alright. I don't know, why I didn't like his role as much as everyone else has seemed to enjoy. 

The plot was good. Although, there was a one pet peeve of mine that I wish they could've avoid. This spoils a bit much, so here goes: Kirk went into ... I have no idea what's the name of that place, but anyway, there was a lot of radiation. He got Enterprise working again, but he died. I was heart broken, as I think many viewers have been. But then they decided to use Khan's blood, and bring him back alive. Because the writer's just couldn't kill off Kirk's character, could they? (Yeah, I know, I've done this thing too - bringing a character back from the dead. But I'll be honest - I'll never do that to main character.) It works at some points, (Deadpool breaking the fourth wall, Xavier in the end of Last Stand...) but usually it's just... meh.

But yeah, it could've been better. I'm kind of disappointed.

*****

But hey, this might have been my nicest experience at a movie theatre. When I got there, I saw that the posters were free this time! (I'm enjoying movie themed posters, as others cover their walls with bands) But there were people at the poster stand, so I just spent three minutes looking at The Wolverine poster. Then I went to look at the other posters. I couldn't find The Wolverine one, so I'll probably have to wait until next time. If there isn't any, I'll probably have to ask for one. Because I need a Wolverine poster. Anyway, I got a Hit-Girl one, since I'm also excited about Kick-Ass 2.


Anyway, then I realised that the movie is about to start. I hurried upstais, got my ticket checked, and walked into the hall, and boom - there's no one there. I was all alone during the whole movie, and I got to admit: I enjoyed it. I was even happy that no one came with me, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the moment myself. 

But yeah, I mentioned cinema summer. It means that there's so many cool movies coming up this summer. Well, Star Trek was one of them, but then there's Kick-Ass 2, Man of Steel, Now you see me and of course Wolverine.

"Are you for real?" "I believe so."


...Umm, I've probably already said I don't like romantic movies. I've probably said it like a thousand times. But umm... Unfortunately that's not true any more. Now I have a soft spot for this movie, since it was incredibly cute and I ... I just liked it.

Why did I start watching it? Well, there's time travel. And there's also Hugh Jackman AND Liev Schreiber in it. You know, they were playing brothers in X-men Origins Wolverine, and I just love them together. Unfortunately, they weren't in the same scene so much, since Schreiber's character went to hospital. 

But there was so many things I loved in this movie. Kate was a really good character. And oh my god, was Hugh Jackman hot and adorable at the same time. And well, the plot could've been better, but I still liked it, and you know, I spent most of the time squealing, because Kate and Leopold were so cute and I don't know. But I just loved the movie and and I don't know anything.

And you know, I tried to liveblog most of the film, but well, I got stuck in the plot and was so fascinated I couldn't do it probably. But most of my posts on Tumblr seriously sums up my reactions to this movie. But seriously, it just was so lovely. Meg Ryan was brilliant, and Hugh Jackman was brilliant, and mostly everybody were brilliant. Case closed.

"Surprised that a girl with an IQ over seventy can give you a hard on?"

¨

I just were complaining about not watching new films. Well I watched one last night, woohoo. This is one of those films that's been sitting on the shelf for so long and I hadn't still watched it. I tried to download this, but then my dad said that he had it. And then he bought it for me from the flea market. Yeah. Well, one of the reasons why I wanted to watch this is... well, you see. Hugh Jackman, and of course Halle Berry is a big plus.

The plot itself wasn't so god damn interesting. Pretty simple for a film this type - let's hack something and steal the money, and explosions and stuff. But the characters were nice. Especially Travolta's character. I'm not so big fan of Travolta, but he portrays his characters nicely. Also this movie had some nice colours, and the visual effects were so nice. 

[I'm ashamed of my really short bad review but I don't want to delete all the reviews that are really short and bad. With love, Misto from 2014.]
