Ee-ly-sium? I gotta come up with new material...
I didn't think i would like Elysium, but that film was alright jack! Good effects,good action, story, also good acting. Sharto Copley as the main "Villain" (wink, wink) was awesome. Reminded me alot of District 9 which is a good thing. The portrayals of earth and elysium were pretty dramatic. Basically Elysium is a colony for out in space that is only reserved for the well to do and the elite they live. They have the ability to heal and regenerate themselves. While on earth the people still struggle through sickness. so attempts are made to invade elysium, so all citizens of earth can be healed of whatever ailment. Matt Damon was good as the main character who is part of this effort to infiltrate Elysium. Jodie Foster was just going through the motions to me. I thought Wagner Moura who plays Spider, a smuggler in the film, was really good in his role. Although he seems kind of sleazy, ultimately his sole interest is in helping the people. Although it seems reviews are mixed on the film, I say give it a try. "Miss Kay's up to something."

Wolf-reen?
I though this was a good film. Its kind of cool that Hugh Jackman keeps playing Wolverine, and enjoys the role. It's weird, there are some actors who play a popular character, and then abandon it because they think they will be typecast. There was some slow parts in the film, particularily the love story between Logan and Mariko, but it wasn't too bad. There was some good action scenes, and funny one-liners. Some of the villians in the film were not so spectacular. I think they could have done more to develop them. But you only have so much time in a film. I kind of wish they would do a stand alone X-men film centered around Nightcrawler, but I don't think that will happen. So The Wolverine is good, my sonnn!
