Time for something a little lighter. \u00a0Here’s what I’m planning on going to see in the theaters over the next few months.<\/p>\n
You’ll note that these are not deep, emotional dramas. \u00a0I go to the movies to be entertained. \u00a0I have a real life for emotions and such. \u00a0That being said, anyone who watches the first ten minutes of JJ Abrams\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>and doesn’t shed a tear is some kind of\u00a0psychopath.<\/p>\n Oblivion<\/a><\/strong> – April 19th<\/p>\n I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise as a person or as an actor, but I would see this movie no matter who was in it. \u00a0It’s just looks beautiful. \u00a0The plot seems to be a cross between the Matrix and 1984. \u00a0Honestly, I’ll probably wait for this one to be on Netflix.<\/p>\n Iron Man III<\/a><\/strong> – May 3rd<\/p>\n I’ve already requested this day as a vacation day at work. \u00a0I will see this one in the theater. \u00a0I never liked Iron Man in the comics, but it is, by far, my favorite of the super hero movies. \u00a0This one ought to be really good with the Extremis Iron Man armor. \u00a0Basically, the armor is nanotech stored in Tony Stark’s bones. \u00a0Cannot wait for this one.<\/p>\n Star Trek Into Darkness<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> – May 15th<\/p>\n Yeah, this one too. \u00a0I absolutely loved the reboot of Star Trek in 2009. \u00a0Like I said, if you didn’t shed a tear in the first ten minutes, then there is something seriously wrong with you. \u00a0I don’t know it JJ and the rest can keep it up, but this looks to be an excellent movie… with actual character development.<\/p>\n After Earth<\/strong><\/a> – June 7th<\/p>\n Another one I’m not too sure about. \u00a0I like Will Smith as an actor, but I’m just not sure how this movie will end up. \u00a0It will probably be a Netflix view for me and that’s only because it has all the makings of a cross between I Am Legend and a 1970s Disney movie.<\/p>\n World War Z<\/strong><\/a> – June 21st<\/p>\n I’m not a huge fan of zombie films, but this is based on an instant classic book<\/a>. \u00a0The film, another Netflix watching no doubt. \u00a0It’s just not that gripping for me to see in the theaters.<\/p>\n Pacific Rim<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> – July 12th<\/p>\n I want to like this movie so much, I really, really do. \u00a0But I know it’s going to be a cult classic at best and just terrible at worst. \u00a0The concept is sound, it’s a classic anime trope. \u00a0Monsters from the deep, giant robots, an unlikely pair of heroes that must work together. \u00a0It’s been done. \u00a0As much as I love great special effects, they can’t save a crappy story. \u00a0This very easily could be another Robot Jox (don’t ask, really, just walk away). \u00a0I don’t think it’s going to Neon Genesis Evangelion, no matter what del Toro thinks.<\/p>\n The Wolverine<\/a><\/strong> – July 16th<\/p>\n Hugh, please… just stop. \u00a0Really. \u00a0Just stop. \u00a0In the comics (and I did read the X-guys), Wolverine started out as a Canadian side-kick and has become, besides Spiderman, the most recognized and loved comic-book character in Marvel’s stables. \u00a0The X-men movies and the two lone movies have destroyed him. \u00a0I hate them. \u00a0I only mention it here, because I’m going to have to watch it at some point. \u00a0I don’t want to, but I will and I will be so, so sorry I did. \u00a0How Marvel can turn out the Avengers AND Wolverine, I don’t get, but they did.<\/p>\n
