Super 8

Super 8 was number one at the box office this weekend, bringing in a little over $36 million dollars; however, it was disappointing. I cannot say that the movie was bad because it had some great moments. The kids had great chemistry together and, I have to say that their acting skills were on point. Together they were an entertaining crew. I think the thing that was a little underwhelming was the plot and the monster. As much as I love science fiction flicks, I am getting a little bored with the Alien's that we mistreat and won't let go home. Can we come up with something a little more creative.

Actually, I would love to see The Event (recently cancelled television series with a great cast a crew) be made into a movie. Now that is an intriguing Alien-Human interaction. At any rate, Super 8 was enteratining enough to see on video, instead of the movies.
Super 8 [Blu-ray]
I give it a C.

Cloverfield Paradox

Netflix pulled a Beyonce last night and without any promotions, prior marketing or fanfare dropped a movie. The latest installment of JJ Abram's Cloverfield franchise, Cloverfield Paradox. This latest science fiction foray into JJ Abrams' twisted world stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ava Hamilton, David Oyelowo as Kiel, Daniel Brühl as Schmidt, John Ortiz as Monk Acosta, Chris O'Dowd as Mundy, Zhang Ziyi as Tam, and Elizabeth Debicki as Mina Jensen. Do you have to watch the previous two installments to understand Cloverfield Paradox? No, not really. However, I definitely recommend you watch the first one. The second one was really a look into human behavior and resilience but it is not at all necessary to watch. Instead focus on watching Cloverfield ; it will be more impactful to know what was going happening on the planet while the space crew was dealing with their issues. It definitely adds more to the intrigue, mystery, and suspense of it all. Things I loved: Just

Fired for Reviewing the Bootlegged Wolverine

There is a big brouhaha over the leak of the new Wolverine movie. The FBI are involved with an investigation and everyone is up on arms over it. As an author, I can appreciate why bootlegging is bad for business. There are people out there who will wait to see the movie in the theaters for the full effect. Then there are those that do not care about that and will watch the bootleg version. Well, this Fox columnist probably should have left the bootleg alone. Maybe he wanted to be hip or cool or whatever. I am thinking that he must have been tired of working and was looking for a way to get fired. How foolish could a person be? He not only watched the bootleg version of a movie put out by his parent company, but he actually posted a review about it. It is almost as though he was condoning it Whatever your views are on bootlegs this was a dumb move. You do not go on national TV after the bank you worked at was robbed and say that you hope the thief gets away with it. Naturally, he got fi
