The Hunger Games: Peeta Mellark

 

 The Hunger Games is one of my favorite movies of 2011 or 2012. I enjoyed everything about this movie. However, there's one thing I dislike: Peeta. 

The picture bellow is Peeta Mellark. A major douche bag if you ask me. Now that you've seen him, why do I hate Peeta? I'll make make it easy for you:

Douche bag Peeta talks way to much shit for me to like him. He has a big talk, but cannot live up to his talk. He's always saying "I'm going to protect you katniss! I'm going to protect you!" Bullshit, the entire time in the Games he was either hurt, hiding or trying to act like he's a tough guy Katniss.

Douche bag Peeta tries to fight this guy named Kato. Keep in mind Kato knows how to use a sword. Peeta only knows how to pick up a hundred pound bag of flower. He tries to fight this guy who trained his entire life to kill? What happened? Douche bag Peeta ends up getting shanked like he's taking a shower in prison.

Then what happened? This fuckin' idiot crawls all the way to the river and decorates himself and blend in so that he can stay alive. Keep in mind Katniss, was attacked by Clove, when the games started, nearly starved, dehydrated, almost got burned alive, yet still got wounded by the fire, got high as shit from the tracker jackers, fought Kato, blew up the Careers supplies, saved douche bag Peeta, risked her life for douche bag Peeta and through all this chaos... he still... swears to the gods of Olympus... he's protecting Katniss. Fuck.

Now in the book it happened differently in the book after President Snow Announces two people can with in the games, Katniss runs off and tries to find Peeta. However, when she finds him he's buried in the mud. He calls out to her, "Katniss... help. Meeeee. Help meeeeee." In the movie, he says "Katniss..." The biggest wimp ever. Katniss was still kicking ass even after she was burnt.


Then Katniss finds Peeta and she takes his clothes off, cleans him up, puts him in the cave, hunts, makes a fire, cooks and cares for him... Looks to me we got another "Stay-at-home-husband" on our hands. Now, at this time Peeta's pretty much done for it. Katniss tells him she has to get him medication for his wound. But Douche Bag Peeta says, "No! It's to dangerous. I have to protect you." This fuckin' idiot still hasn't figured it out, he's useless.

Now Katniss has to give him Roofies or something to knock him out. Then she ventures out to get medication for his wounds which is near the Cornucopia I believe. After she makes it, she comes face to face with Clove who NEARLY KILLS HER! She risked her life for that douche bag. Then she comes back to the cave. He wakes up and he's all mad -- in my eyes he was butt-hurt, but that's up to interpretation.
Then they leave the cave and Peeta makes all this noise as he walks (This is in the book, by the way). In the movie he's still making noise, but in the book Katniss calls him out on it. Then what happens -- the goddamn dogs, that look like the  DEMON DOGS from GHOST BUSTERS, jump out nearly mauling Peeta! who saves who? Katniss saves douche bag Peeta. They run to the cornucopia and they make it.

On the cornucopia Peeta and Katniss fight Kato. To sum it up, Kato was kicking both their asses. But at least Katniss was actually DOING SOMETHING. At one point Kato is on top of Katniss trying to pussh her off and who comes to save the day? Peeta! He "suplexes" Kato, but Kato rolls right off the ground like nothing even happened! And then some how Kato has Peeta in a headlock. 
What happens here? Peeta points desperately at Kato's hand trying to signal Katniss to shoot him in the hand. And then... yeah, you guessed it, Katniss shoots Kato and he falls off the cornucopia and the dogs eat him and then Katniss puts Kato out of his misery. Again she saved that douche bag.

See Peta is a MAJOR. FUCKIN'. DOUCHE BAG.


But that's not it. I have other points that show how much of a douche bag Peeta is. First of all if there really were The Hunger Games and you were selected and your own mother is ROOTING for your GODDAMN NEIGHBOR... you're either the biggest goddamn loser in the history of "biggest goddamn losers" or you have one of the most fucked up shitty ass family in this history of "fucked up shitty ass families". His mother said:

"It looks like District 12 is finally going to have a winner this year." And even Peeta admitted, she wasn't talking about him.

How screwed up is that? That's something right out of Ricki Lake, you know? It's just really fucked up. But there's more:

Now you know how they say "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?" Well it's true. Here's a conversation between Peeta and his dad when he was about five or so.

"Peeta?" His dad asked.
"Yeah, dad?" 
"See that little girl over there in red?" His father said pointing at a little girl in a red dress (Katniss) (Am I the only one who finds this very disturbing?)
"Yeah?"
"I was going to marry her mother."
"Oh. Why didn't you dad?" 
"Because... she married a man who can sing so well... the birds stop singing."
"Oh. Dad?"
"Yeah, Peeta?"
"Can I go play on the rusted monkey bars?"
"Yes, Peeta... yes you may."
And fucking scene.

What the serious fuck was that? Are you kidding me? Okay, I'm not the most handsome guy in the world, but if I really liked a girl I would go and ask her out and just to see if maybe -- JUST MAYBE, she would be interested in me. I don't want to wake up fifty years from now and wonder how life would have been if I actually had the cajones to ask her out. So his dad settled for less, which sucked for him because his wife is a...

MAJOR. FUCKING. BITCH.

Trust me when I say that, she is. Now the main reason why I say Peeta is the worst example of a tough guy is, his name. The bastard is named after BREAD. Peta (Peeta) bread is soft and ironically so is Peeta.

If women are all over Peeta thinking he's the ideal guy. Then I'll be perfectly honest with you: That shit just gives me hope!

The Hunger Games

In a future distopian society, people are divided up and live in districts. Once a year, the Capital selects two tributes from each district to celebrate and fight in The Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games what can you really say about this movie? Other than it's fuckin' awesome! This movie is the shit! Actually, I read the books before I seen the movies (Yes, I can read -- rather well actually) And I liked both versions. I loved everything about this movie because it was such an interesting read and watch. However I will say this, the book has a lot more substance to it and you get to see a lot of things that don't make it into the movie. Why weren't they in the movie? Because in film you have to show things and not tell it. And then the novel is written in first person. So I would recommend that you read the book and watch the movie. But I must say even thought I like the book, the movie did fall short just a tad bit. And here's why:

One word: Peta. Not the bread, but the fuckin' douche bag who thinks he's the shit. Personally, I think they tried to make him more of a tough guy in the movie than he was in the book. But I wont get into it here. I'm going to do a Hunger Game's rant on why I dislike the Hunger Games, however, when I say hate, I don't really hate the movie, it's just a character that I really, really, really fuckin' dislike. 

Other than that I can't really think of anything else that I didn't like about the movie. I thought it was fantastic. Thrilling. Action packed. It was everything The Twilight Saga  was not. But I can assure you, if you look into this movie, you'll like and you just might want to check out the book while you're at it so you'll have more substance to it. 

So what would I rate this movie? Obviously, 5 Stars out of 5!

My Return To Planet Earth

Okay, I figured I come back to my blog and start writing again. I'm not sure if I should tell you what exactly happened. But then again...Agh -- why the fuck not. Okay. This is what happened. One night I was hanging outside kicking it with my friends. When suddenly there was a bright flash -- then I woke up on cold metal table. And there was this creature -- a Grey alien -- staring at me. It freaked me the fuck out. he told me.

"Do not fear, Connor. I come in peace."
I said, "What the serious fuck! Peace?! You kidnapped me!"

He laughed and continued to experiment on me -- no probing cause I told him I don't play that shit. So over the months I ended up living on board a space craft inside of a small little department. They fed me water and rice in a Styrofoam cup.

It wasn't until one day I said:

"Fuck this shit! I'mma headbutt all this sons of bitches!"

So started doing pushes ups and sit ups and meditating. one day I meditated and astral projected to Mount Olympus where I defeated the Gods of Olympus and the Titans. Because of my bravery I inherited their skills. Then I returned to my body and I was amazed at my skills. Really awesome skills... Seriously, they're awesome... You wouldn't even believe me if I showed... shut the fuck up.

Anyway, And then on that fateful day, they opened the door and -- BOOM -- I headbutted that alien in the face -- I mean headbutted the living shit out of that alien. I was running through the space craft. The alarm sounded and that's when I knew I was in deep shit. But you know what? I kept pushing forward! Why?! Because I'm that fuckin' awesome. So anyway, I probably killed about fifteen aliens until I came to the main controls. I took the space craft -- high jacked it and parked it on the moon in one of it's craters. Then I took a space pod and headed towards the earth. I crashed in the Mojave desert and when I opened the space pod...

The fuckin' government was there. M4 A1's and all that shit. Lookin' all bad ass. I surrendered. I was taken to Area 51. And I swear I was bunk mates with an E.T. named Mokie. She was cool. Okay, she looked human and was REALLY GODDAMN HOT. She had the hottest telepathic "bedroom voice" I have ever heard. At one point, I said, "to hell with it" and for hours we fu -- but I was kept there for an additional five months. Eventually, the government wanted to know where my space craft was and I told them:

"That's my space craft punk-bitch! When the aliens come and conquer earth I'm going to use it and whoop some serious fuckin' ass!"

Then he slammed me up against the wall and was inches from my face. His breath smelled like pig farm; and then said:

"Bitch! Who wears the pants in the family? I do!" 
"What. The Serious. Fuck are you talking about?" I asked.

Then he bitch slapped me -- it hurt, you know, but me being the bad ass I am, it was okay, cause I had a plan. So I went into the corner of my room and I meditated and realized, it's easy to break out of Area 51. So I waited for the security guard to come back and know what I did?

I headbutted the goddamn shit out of his face -- it went crunch-crack-pop! He droped and I fled. It took out a few guards using the headbutt, but then I made it to the surface. And once I did that, since it was night time, it was easy for me to use my ninja skills and just vanish into the night. At one point when I was in Vegas I even headbutted a herd of Jehovah's Witnesses just for the fuck of it... you should give it a try sometime. 

And then three days later... I'm back home. So now you know what happened to me and why I haven't been updating my blog. Now that I am am back, I shall continue to do so.

Deadset (Full movie on Youtube)

A while back I mentioned there was an English movie called Deadset. I praised this movie because of how magnificent it is. I'll says it again everyone in this movie -- mini-series -- is an asshole except for Liz May Brice's character who I thought was pretty kick ass. But other than that every single person in this FUCKIN' FILM is a douche bag on so many levels. That's how good Deadset is, it messes with your emotions and causes you to hate or like someone and then you end up hating them with a passion. I hate some characters in Deadset so much I think I should make a religion out of hating them. The writing is fantastic. The direction is brilliant. And most of all the acting was above "good acting." So remember this movie with all of the episodes put together as one is two hours and twenty minutes and three seconds. So pull up a chair, get some food and enjoy!

-- Connor Murphy

Zomblies

Yes Zomblies is the correct spelling for this video. I saw this the other day on Youtube and I thought it was fantastic. So if you have time grab something to eat, pull up a chair and watch this kick as forty-something minute zombie movie. I loved it!

-- Connor Murphy

Revolution

I love JJ Abrams! I think he's one of the most fascinating individuals I've seen in a long time, especially when it comes to stories. Revolution is about planet Earth simply losing all it's power plunging mankind back into the stone age. So the movie is a Futuristic, Post-Apocalyptic, dystopia TV show. Revolution is brought to you by JJ Abrams and Supernatural creator Eric Kripke and directed by John Favreau.

I personally love futuristic, post-apocalyptic movies also dystopian movies as well. So I am very intrigued by it. Also it stars Billy Burke, he Bella's dad on the twilight movies and comes on in Season 2 of 24 as... um... What's his name... oh yeah, Gary Matheson! Bad ass. He even comes out in the movie Drive Angry with Nicolas Cage! However, there's one actor I can't wait to see in this series is Giancarlo Esposito A.K.A. Gustavo 'Gus' Fring from Breaking Bad! If you haven't seen Breaking Bad get it Season one is 15$, however, Esposito comes out in Season 2, 3 and 4. He's a dynamic actor and scares the heck out of me with that stare he does! If you don't know what I mean click here [Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! It gives away everything about this character! So proceed with caucion.] So all in all, I can't wait to watch this series!

So from my understanding Revolution airs in the fall for the 2012-2013 line up. It will air on NBC at 10 P.M. So check it out! I know I will!

Weekly Recommendations 5/18/2012

Taking Lives -- Taking Lives is a hot little Angelina Jolie movie about a man who witnesses a serial killer kill and points him out. However, now the killer is after him.

Spirit -- Spirit is amazing! If you like those comic book movies like 300 or Sin City then this movie will captivate you. It's about a man who is killed but comes back as the Spirit. However, he has amazing powers, which even he can't explain.

Blow -- Blow a fantastic Jonny Depp and Penelope Cruz movie about a drug lord from the seventies. It shows his rise and fall. If you like movie that deal with the cartel, mafia or similar themes, then this movie will definitely hold your interests.

The Eye (Original) -- The Eye  is ten times better than the American remake with Jessica Alba. This movie is genuinely scary, and I swear there's one scene where you will definitely get scared.

The Peacemaker -- The Peacemaker is an action film with George Clooney and Nichole Kiddman. There's lots of action and suspense in this movie. It's a very entertaining movie from the mid 90's if I'm not mistaken. Enjoy!

Weekly Recommendations 4/10/2012

Serenity -- Serenity, which what happened after Firefly went off the air, is the best Sci-Fi movie I've seen. I've said many times Firefly is the greatest Sci-Fi TV show that I've seen -- heck it turned me on to Sci-Fi. Serenity is a fantastic movie, put it this way, lets say you didn't see an episode of Firefly and you watch Serenity, you'll still like it. It's such a great movie. I'd highly recommend this movie to all people even if you're not into Sci-Fi. Also, it's on sale for $4 and some change at Target, so go pick up your copy today -- actually while you're at it pick up Firefly it's only $16 and some change! So I highly recommend this movie. The crew of Serenity continue to evade revers and the Alliance, until an Alliance Operator tracks them down bringing chaos to the stars.

Sleepy Hallow -- Another genre I enjoy is Gothic/Horror movies that take place buck in the 16th century. Sleepy Hollow star Jonny Depp and Christina Ricci. This is a fantastic movie and I will recommend it to everyone who enjoys a quirky little horror story. It involves an investigator who comes to a small town to investigate a string of mysterious murders.

Donnie Darko -- Donnie Darko is such an interesting film. When I first seen Donnie Darko, I was complete drawn to the character. This a Sci-Fi/Time Travel film, which is very complex. So it takes multiple viewing to actually understand. But regardless, even if you don't like Sci-Fi, this movie just might capture your interest. Donnie Darko is about a young man who has emotional problems. He's miraculously saved from being crushed by a random airplane engine by his sleep walking disorder. Then later discovers the secrets to time travel.

Andromeda Strain -- Warning, be careful with this movie! Andromeda Strain isn't for everyone. It's for hardcore Sci-Fi fans. However, even hardcore Sci-Fi fans don't like this movie. It's either love or hate -- and most people hate it. Personally, I enjoyed it -- it's actually more of a made for TV on the Sci-Fi channel kind of movie -- but if you can look past it, it's very interesting to watch. So again, I can't recommend it for everyone, you were warned, approach with caution. A mysterious virus wipes out a small town, except for a local drunk and an infant. Scientist must race against time to discover a cure before it's to late.

Joy Ride -- Joy Ride is fantastic! I love JJ Abrams! I love everything he does -- except for Lost. I killed so many brain cells trying to figure it out -- but Joy Ride was written and produced by JJ Abrams. The entire cast was great, Paul Walker, Lele Sobeiski and Steve Zhan. The entire time I was holding my breath and hanging on to the edge of my seat. I must add, I've never seen the sequel or am I sure if there's a third one, but the best one is usually the first. Take my word for it -- it's magnificent. Two best friends go to two different colleges. When school is out for vacation, the two decide to take a road trick home, when they come face-to-face with a diabolic truck driver.

Firefly

The greatest TV show of all-time -- Firefly. This show is such a priceless treasure to me that if I had to choose one movie to take with me on an island, it would most likely be Firefly. Why? Because it's that freakin' awesome. Personally, I never really gave a damn about sci-fi, until I began watching Firefly. It's that dear to me. As a mater of fact I watch the entire series at least twice a month. Yeah it's that damn good. Put it this way, prior to Firefly if you told me that they had Sci-Fi space Westerns genre, I'd probably laugh in your face. But when I saw Firefly for the first time -- I fell in love. I'm now a huge fan of Joss Whedon and his brilliant stories.

I remember when I first saw it -- I loved it, but the theme song I hated it. However, but by the third episode I realized the theme song for Firefly was all about Captain Malcolm Reynolds. I began to appreciate it even more. Then came the sad news -- Fox 11 canceled it. Why? For no damn reason at all. The ratings were high. The fans loved it. It was so good, even after it was canceled the fans tried to raise money so that Nathan Fillon would be able to purchase it and continue Firefly. They sent dinosaurs to Fox. Letters. E-mails. Everything, I wouldn't be surprised if some people sold their souls to the devil just to bring back Firefly.

This is how I truly felt about the cancellation of Firefly -- I must add, they didn't even air all of the episodes -- I felt cheated. I felt so cheated. I was so dedicated to this series, or better yet when I found a series I actually enjoyed, I felt like Fox committed a hate crime. Every time I watch an episode of Firefly there's a sense of longing -- longing for the Serenity crew to return and kick ass. I miss Inara's graceful beauty and great sense of calm. Kaylee's innocent nature and interesting snaps at Simon. I wish to see Simon and Kaylee become an item (even though they did in the movie Serenity), while River continues doing freaky things that make everyone panic or laughing while she threatens Jaynee about being able to "kill him with her brain". Shepherd, I want to know more about him. Zoe one of the best characters on the show. So calm and loyal to Captain Reynolds. Jaynee Cobbs what more can you say about him? He made the show with his unstable loyalty and his snarky remarks. And then we have Captain Malcolm Reynolds, Mal, Sarge, we miss his witty humor. But I saved the best for last -- Wash -- what a funny man he is! His humor. I.e. Kaylee: Wash, do you think I'm pretty? Wash: If I was not wed I'd take you in a manly fashion. Kaylee: Because I'm pretty? Wash: Because you're pretty. Ahhh -- such a fantastic show.

I miss the Chinese cursing -- the alliance -- the western atmosphere -- the shootouts -- the companions -- the insane jokes about Simon. I -- I -- I miss Firefly. Dammit Fox why'd you do it? But you know what? Like all loyal Browncoats, we have faith that they will bring another Firefly movie or they will bring Friefly back -- hopefully. There's nothing wrong with hope, right? Well until the day they bring back Firefly kick ass Browncoats! Fox, cancel my shows and ignore our pleads, but they can't take the sky from me!

Watch the Serenity trailer down below!

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

I have to say out of all the characters on The Walking Dead, I think Daryl Dixon is one of the strongest and best developed. Some interesting surprises happened in Season 2, and all I have to say to the producers and writers is... Don't depend on "the shock effect" for endings. Because if you kill of to many of the good characters then the show will go to crap like a lot of other shows out there that started off with a bang, but declined because of to many great characters were killed off.

So again -- Daryl Dixon is my favorite character on The Walking Dead. Here's a little tribute to a YouTubers and Daryl Dixon fan put together. Enjoy!

Men In Black 3

GENRE: Science Fiction/Comedy
STARRING: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin
RELEASE DATE: May 25, 2012

Men In Black 3 I can't wait -- I loved the first two! However, I wonder exactly how this movie is going to play out with the whole time traveling bit, but it should be good and I will definitely give it a benefit of a doubt. What do you think of the trailer?

-- Connor Murphy

Weekly Recommendations 4/30/2012

Dark City -- This movie will remind most people of The Matrix... Well kind of, but keep in mind I think it's better than the The Matrix, because it's actually good. Also, this came out before The Matrix.

Whiteout -- Kate Beckinsale is hot. Hands down. However, this movie I liked, it had lower reviews on line, but regardless it's still worth checking out. We've all been there, you know when someone says such and such movie sucks, then you see it and you're completely amazed by it. That's how I was with Whiteout. So give it a chance, you just might be surprised.

The Descent -- Prior to The Descent there were no real good modern horror films. As a matter of fact The Descent was the last REAL horror movie in my opinion. So if you haven't seen it give it a shot. Actually, I strongly recommend this to all horror fans.

From Dusk Till Dawn -- From Dusk Till Dawn was one of my favorite vampire films growing up. It's funny. Crafty. Slick dialogue. Gruesome. And it turned me into a fan of George Clooney. Most people have seen it, but I'm sure some haven't, so I'm still recommending it.

Little Miss Sunshine -- What can you say about Little Miss Sunshine? It's absolutely adorable! I'll admit it, I don't care for dramas, but Little Miss Sunshine just makes me smile. Everything about this film is so interesting. So again, if you've strayed away from this film for whatever reason, then please check it out. Give it a chance. You just might like it.

World War Z Update

I am sad to say World War Z the most anticipated zombie film, has been pushed back once again. Initially World War Z was suppose to have a 2012 -- specifically December 21, 2012 -- release, so Paramount pushed to a June 23, 2013. So now we have to wait a year and some changes for this movie. I'm disappointed. Oh well there are other movies that I'm looking forward to this year!

-- Connor Murphy

Knights Of Badassdom

GENRE: Comedy/Horror
STARRING: Summer Glau, Peter Dinklage and Ryan Kwanten
RELEASE DATE: Spring 2012

Knights of Badassdom is a movie that stars Summer Glau (Firefly! River! Oh--so hot!) Anyways, I am definitely looking forward to seeing this movie. I usually like anything that has Summer Glau in it and I will watch it. I think she's a wonderful actress, beautiful and cute, and straight up awesome. So look out for this little gem this Spring.

Left 4 Dead Fan Film

Recently I've been following a group of young filmmakers on Youtube -- two brothers -- named Connor (oh yeah) and Collin. These two guys are brilliant filmmakers. Personally I don't play a lot of video games, however, I am very familiar with video games that come out because I do have friends are  practically obsessed with gaming (not that it's a bad thing, but pick up a book every now and then). Anyways, I figured I'd post a short film they've made based on the game Left 4 Dead. So check these guys out and subscribe to them.

-- Connor Murphy

Weekly Recommendations 4/25/2012

Push -- Push is an interesting little film, which involves people with unique powers who are either being hunted by the government or are in alliance with them. I enjoyed this movie for a number of reason: Action, the unique powers, Camilla Belle (so hot) etc. So check this movie out.

Contagion -- Just by the name of the film you already know what Contagion is about. Those of you who can't put two-and-two together here it is. A virus is released and we watch scientists race against time to find a cure. We watch a journalist make money off the virus by promoting a false curse. And a family man trying to protect his daughter from the disease since he's immune. It makes you feel dirty. So definitely check this movie out.

Fracture -- Fracture stares Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling (who in this film actually did extremely well!) Hopkins kills his wife, confess, and all the evidence points to Hopkins. Gosling is a lawyer who thinks this is a slam dunk case -- he knows he's going to win -- but when he goes to trial Hopkins represents himself. Therefore, all the "evidence" that they thought they had, is not standing up in court and Hopkins is one step ahead of everyone. I loved this movie. Check it out.

Paul -- I loved Paul I thought it was extremely funny. Even thought it came off as a little to preachy -- trying to refute Christianity. And I'm an atheist saying this -- and it was obvious the writers were anti-religion (and so am I), which is OK, just make it not so obvious, regardless of that, it worked. The movie was still extremely funny and crude. I would definitely recommend Paul for everyone especially atheist a like.
3:10 to Yuma -- Personally I'm not a fan of Westerns. I do like Space Westerns like Firefly, but most Westerns like True Grit the remake was kind of boring and not what I expected. Maybe I had caught up in the hype of it all. However, 3:10 to Yuma, I absolutely loved this movie. It's a really interesting film and I thought Christian Bale did a wonderful john and the same goes for Russel Crowe. If you're a fan of Westerns, you'll like this. If you hate Western still check this out, because you just might like it and you'll surprise yourself.

Total Recall (Remake)

GENRE: Science Fiction
STARRING: Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Bieand Bryan Cranston
RELEASE DATE: August 3, 2012

Total Recallis another movie I am looking forward to. I am a huge Colin Ferrell fan and because he's in this movie I will see it. I will say this, the original  Total Recall (1980s) I didn't really care for. However, from my understanding the remake will be much closer to and true to the book compared to the original which was loosely based on the book. So Total Recall will definitely be another movie I will see in theaters this summer.

G.I. Joe Retaliation

GENRE: Action
STARRING: Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, Lee Byung-hun, Ray Park
RELEASE DATE: June 29, 2012

G.I. Joe Retaliation isn't a film to eager to see. Why because the first film was pretty awful. However, because I like Dawyane Johnson I will give this movie a chance. Again the first movie was awful, but I do admit for an action flick, it's pretty entertaining and it's almost nostalgic. And because Bruce Willis is in it, I will definitely be watching it.

Release Date: June 29, 2012

The Avengers

GENRE: Superhero Film
STARRING: Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston ,Samuel L. Jackson
RELEASE DATE: May 4, 2012 (United States) and Aprill, 11 2012 (The World Premiere.)

I am not a fan of Superhero movies. However, the only reason why I am anticipating this movie is because of one my favorite writers, producers and directors -- and the creator of the Greatest Sci-Fi TV show ever, Firefly -- Joss Whedon directed The Avengers. So that's the only reason why I will give this movie a benefit of a doubt.
