Hangover 3: All they needed was the mayor...

That was an outside(or inside joke? eh..) joke if you will. Anyways the hijinks were aplenty in Hangover 3. This movie was too funny with the ridiculous chase scenes and the hilarious one-liners. Critics say that its nothing like the original with all the chase scenes and also that the actors were going through the motions. I don't think so. The banter was pretty entertaining. Zack G is funny as hell with his facial expressions, and so are Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper. Can't forget Mr. Chow,who for some reason has to always show frontal nudity in each of the films. Hahaha. There was even a shot of Shangrila man. I wish though there was more of John Goodman and Melissa Mccarthy in the film. Also there was some minor charcters from the first Hangover that I wish were in this one. The critics are wrong once again in their negative reviews of this film. There was alot of laughter in the theatre. Can't really compare with the first two films, which I don't think it should. It's funny. If you don't want to watch it, watch something else like the Great Crapsby. (yeah right, jack!)

A twist that makes sense...

Unlike the twist in Iron Man 3, the twist involving the main villain(Benedict Cumberbatch)in Stark Trek: Into darkness was on the money. I am not a Star Trek fan at all, but I have to say this movie was really good. It had plenty of humor, good action, and real good visual effects. It was pretty cool to see Judge Dredd in it without his mask as Dr. McCoy. He was funny with his weird metaphors. Weird is good though. But Cumberbatch showed what a real movie villian is like. He was cold, calculating, but he even was able to draw sympathy in one scene where you didn't think he could. I can't wait for the continuation of the Sherlock BBC series that he is part of. It will be interesting to see if they continue with this version of the Stark Trek franchise, but we shall see kuya.

Iron Lame?

Well, I'm going to give out alot of plot points from Iron Man 3, so if you don't want to continue reading, then go away. I thought the acting of Ben Kingsley as the villian Mandarin was excellent, but all that came out of that was that he was a drug addicted actor paid off by Aldrich Killian who is actually the Mandarin. What? Are you kidding me jack? Okay, I understand that its a twist, but all Killian did at the end was tell Tony Stark. "I am the Mandarin. I have always been." No explaination as to how, I mean there was some, but not enough. There was of course plenty of good action, and special effects, but also too much of that excruciating dialouge between Pepper and Tony. It was an alright movie, but nowhere near as good as The Avengers.
