I have to say, post-graduation life is not NEARLY as interesting as I thought it would be! There have been a few cool things that have happened since May 2nd - I quit my job as a Student Ambassador at SVU and started back up with Pampered Chef (so if you need to order something, you know who to go to ;) ) and...that's it! Brandon and I for sure get to spend a lot more time together and as a result, we've gone to see several movies. Oh yeah.
Movies are our thing, for sure. So, since we don't have much else to blog about...we'll blog about our highly sophisticated mo
vie opinions *cough*
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 7 out of 10
This was a movie that Brandon has been waiting for for FOREVER and he was so disappointed! I thought it was good, but I'm not a Wolverine comic fan, so slight changes didn't bother me. His biggest beef with the movie was how they portrayed
Deadpool. We saw a brief interview with Ryan Reynolds and they asked him what he thought about Deadpool in the movie, and he said that it's a Wolverine origins movie, not a Deadpool origins movie. Fortunately, there is a Deadpool movie in the works! Let's hope (for Brandon's sake) that they do him justice. I don't care much about Marvel, though...that's Brandon's thing. Brandon did say, though, that they biggest redeeming quality of the movie was the scene after the
credits. If you didn't wait for it, you have to see it! It changes the entire ending of the movie, for him at least.
Star Trek 9 out of 10
This was a move that I was SOOOOO excited about!!!!! And I was not disappointed at all. As a kid, we never watched much of the original Star Trek show, I grew up in the Star Trek: the Next Generation era, and Brandon never watched any Star Trek shows, so any indiscrepancies were completely lost on us. I loved it because I recognized a lot of the winks and nudges to the original show.
Spock had to be my favorite, because they brought back Leonard Nimoy and introduced
Zachary Quinto. I am a huge Heroes fan, so seeing
Sylar on the big screen was exciting. I thought it was just an over-all great film
Terminator: Salvation 8.5 out of 10
You would be right if you said that I wasn't an authentic Terminator fan, since I only watched the movies for the first time in the last year or so
. But I have been a pretty faithful fan since then, especially with the
Sarah Connor show. I have to be honest, I wasn't a fan of the CGI Arnold Schwarzenegger at the end. There were a few other things that I wasn't too fond of, but I still really liked it.
Angels & Demons 9.5 of 10
This has to be my favorite movie that I've seen so far this summer. For me, it was even
better than the Da Vinci Code. I think I loved it so much because I called the ending before Brandon, haha! I just love that kind of movie. You obviously can't watch these movies without the acknowledgement that they're
not supposed to depict the
truth. Tom Hanks does such a great job in these movies.
