Go back to thes kinds of films Vin..
Riddick was a film that I enjoyed watching. Dark humor, action, special effects. Can't ask for anymore jack! I know Vin Diesel wanted to try other types of films. He did some comedy, some drama. But he's a pretty legit action star, so why not stick to that? Anyway the first in the I guess you can say trilogy was Pitch Black which was a classic. The second film Chronicles of Riddick put me to sleep to be quite honest. But Riddick comes back fast and furious!(hahaha,see what I did there? I used another of his films bro to be funny. Have not watched any of those films, probaly won't. Okay I'll stop. too many words in the parenthesis) I think Riddick would have done really well if it was released in the middle of the summer season. Hopefully it does well in the box office. I'll see ya man. Bs man.
World's end my friend?
See that title rhyme. Anyway this was a very funnny film, about a bunch of guys who were high school chums who attempted to go on a pub crawl to 12 pubs when they were younger,but failed cause they were too high or wahtever. Now years later they all meet together again to attempt this glorious feat. Simon Pegg is hilarious as Gary King who gathers the group to attempt to do the crawl again. During their escapades they face a whole group of robots. I know that sounds dumb, but trust me its an awesome film. I liked the physical comedy, the banter, also the reactions to situations. To me, a actor has comedic talent just by the way they react to situations. It could just be the right look,laugh, a line. Just something simple that makes the whole audience laugh. The main cast had all that down to perfection. Highly re-co-mend.

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!

RIPD no BS man...
You know something man, this is bullshiii...Anyway, I thought RIPD was a fun film to watch. It was funny, had good action. Jeff Bridges was good as Yosemite Sam or whatever his name was in the film. Alot of people compare it to Men in Black. Eh, I don't know. I guess instead of aliens, they went after ghosts or demons I guess you could say. I think it would have probably done better in the box office if was released in the fall. Perhaps near Halloween eh? Some of the garbagio thats doing well in the summer is beyond me, like Grownups 2? Oh come on man!

Now lets see the Atlantic drift!
Pacific Rim is what a summer blockbuster should be. To me even though summer is not over, this was by far the best film this season. You simply cannot go wrong with giant robots fighting monsters. The acting was fine. It didn't take much from the film. Charlie Day was as usual brillantly funny. Ron Perlman was hiliarious as well. I hope they make many sequels, and I would not mind seeing Godzilla, or Gamera make an appearnce. Even Mothra if she/it wants to join in on the fun.

It's no Walker, Texas Walker but Lone Ranger will do...
I have to say I enjoyed watching the Lone Ranger. Critics lambasted(funny word there eh?) the film, but I thought it was fine. Maybe it was a bit too long. Buy hey,it had alot of action,humor, explosions, horses,masks, woman with a prosthetic leg shotgun(not kidding there jack)So I'm glad I went to watch it. Johnny Depp was superb as Tonto, and I think Arme Hammer did good as the Lone Ranger. His delivery was a bit hokey at times. I guess it was centered around Johnny Depp but I think enough attention was given to the Ranger. I had read a graphic novel that was published a few years ago, a retelling of sorts of the Lone Ranger, so I was curious to how it would be portrayed in modern day film The character has been around for a long time, so it was nice to see it reinvented and I believe this film did it right. Plus it was awesome to listen to the William Tell overture playing as the Lone Ranger and Tonto were chasing the bad guys. A delightful experience. Heh, heh delightful. Ah, I'm so funny.
