An Oldie But A Goodie
I watched My Cousin Vinny last nite it's an older movie. But it is a true classic. Every thing just flows. The core mistaken identity premise, although relativity unlikely, is made believable, and almost irrelevant to the rest of the movie. I mean it's all about Vinny.

A week of Movies
Just got back from Vacation, watched a few movies.
Fist off Bad Teacher, a bit of a non standard romantic comedy. I liked it but it a little light, wait for it to come to home video.
Green Lantern, boring, I almost fell a sleep in the theatre. The end was half decent. But Ryan Reynolds was not used to his true potential.
X-Men First Class, I loved this movie. Go see it right now. I'm buying this the second it hits DVD.
Transformers: Dark Side Of The Moon: This movie was insane, It's like wall to wall action. Almost with out any of the comedic bits of the the first two. There are funny bit, but there small and short. Plus the movie is long almost three hours long.
Also I saw T:DSOTM in 3D. I'm on the fence as to weather or not this is better than 2D. It's kinda distracting and awkward wearing the glasses. But if it's the right movie the 3D effect pulls you in more.

Old And New, Two That Are Good
First of I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off. This movie is a true classic. It's been quite a while since I had seen the movie. And it really held up dispite it's age, and the fact that it truly is a product of its area.
The next movie I watched was Bhoothnath, it's an East Indian movie. But it has a real western feel to it. They still break out into song once and a while, but even then the songs have a western feel. They even do hip hop and Rap in one song. The story is basically about a boy who befriends a ghost. The movie has real polish to it. The cinematography is really well done. The Visual effects were even well done, it was hard to tell if they were computer generated or not. But at any speed, the effects were great. Their is only one part where the effect being done was a little corny, but it was still in tolerable limits. It was the part were the ghost makes funny faces.

Oldie but a goodie
I just watched Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. This is one of my Favorite movies. A good scifi premise, solid action. But the real reason this movie works is the dynamic between Snipes and Stallone.

A Nice Little Movie
Watched Three men and a baby. I watched this when I was younger. Now that I'm older I can appreciate it more. The chemistry between the three men is spot on. And the comedy works on a universal level.

Not The First
I just watched the second trailer for X-Men First Class. Definitely going to watch that movie. But then again I'm a big X-Men fan. I remember watching the animated series when I was young. I even own all the past X-Men films even X-Men 1.5

A Pure Classic
I watched a classic the other nite. It should be presented in schools along side Shakespeare and Mozart. The movie was WarGames. This movie is truly a timeless classic. They have made a sequel to WarGames. It's descent, the WOPR even makes a cameo. But it's still not as good as the first one. But it's Mathew Broderick that really makes WarGames work.
