Since Star Wars: The Force Awakens is poised to overtake Avatar`s domestic box office record today or tomorrow, I stumbled upon an interesting question earlier. Why does Avatar, as the highest-grossing movie of all time (at this point and I think it will keep the global record) have little to no pop-cultural impact ( Read more... )

Saw X-Men: Days of Future Past again and liked it a lot more than the first time around. Which is strange for me. But I think after letting go of some expectations I had for the movie, I could enjoy it for what it was. Also in retrospect I really like that First Class was more Erik`s movie while this one was more Charles`. That leaves room for ( Read more... )

Finally saw X-Men: Days of Future Past which I enjoyed but wasn`t everything I hoped it would be. At least not after the halfway point. ( Spoilers )

Watched my "Easter Egg" today which was The Amazing Spiderman on DVD. I had not previously seen it because I hate going to the movies alone but usually can`t find someone who wants to go to "those kinds of movies" with me. If they are going to the movies at all instead of tending to house/family/garden. Sigh, back at Uni, I went with my roomate ( Read more... )

I...I have no words

George Lucas sold Star Wars? Disney plans to bring out a new movie as early as 2015? I`m rarely surprised by anything in the showbuiz these days but this? Yeah, never would have seen it coming.

This is either going to rock or suck.
