Anchorman 2 has been my favorite thus far, and I didn't even think it was that great compared to the first one.The First Hobbit nearly put me to sleep but the second was good and nowhere near the atrocity that was the Star Wars Prequels. And next year...I'm already planning when to see those.
Amazing Spiderman 2 is the only movie I'm looking forward too. I'd say the Hobbit too, but I've been very un-impressed with the Hobbit movies. They haven't done to me what Star Wars 1-2-3 did, but they've felt forced and uninteresting.
Next year is going to be the best movie year in a decade. Star Wars 7, Bond 24, Avengers 2, Jurassic World, Fantasic Four, Terminator, Peanuts, Mission Impossible 5, Silver Chair(maybe?).

Unfortunately when I look at all the stuff I have to read, I realize that the chance of me getting all of it read before I die are scant, and I don't even turn 30 until August.

Saw Godzilla today with some friends. REALLY GOOD, a lot better than the disgrace that was the 1998 remake.
ALUmnus wrote:Got to see the new X-men over the weekend. It was alright. Everything was completely predictable. And half of it didn't make sense in light of the previous movies.I actually enjoyed it, and because of what Wolverine did in 1973 the first three X-Men movies never happened. So the timeline screw-ups are fixed which means we could still get Archangel.
The after-credits scene shows Apocolypse, though, which should promise good things for the next one. The problem is, they've screwed with the timeline so much, they've basically eliminated some great storylines. With Apocolypse being next, they need to have Angel become Archangel, that would be movie perfection. But, they can't, because they basically wasted the Angel character in 'Last Stand'. Okay, [/nerd-rant].
But, ended the weekend well by watching 'Once Upon a Time in the West' on Netflix. I remember watching it as a kid on tv, and it was better than I remember.

But my faith in movies this summer was restored with 22 Jump Street, I was laughing for almost all of the movie.Disagree I loved it! It did exactly like you expected. Cruise wasn't wooden in his acting which is even better
