The Expendables 3 : How I Would Do It.

Hello faithfull readers, it's everyone's favorite procrastinating writer back to give you the word on what ever topic comes to mind.  Today I come to you with a topic that is close to everyone's heart.  I want to talk to you about a film series that has not only touched the very soul of every film lover around, but also a film series that will go down, along with The Godfather and The Dollars Trilogy, as the the greatest film series known to man and some animals. This is of course The Expendables series.

I am hoping by now that you understood that most of that top paragraph was sarcasm. While I do enjoy The Expendables series for it's ridiclousness, I by no means think it is up to stand with the two series that I named. If you do not know what the Expendables series is and are a major action junkie, I suggest you do these next few things:

1. Grab a case of your favorite alcholic beverage.
2. Get some take out from your favorite take out place.
3. Find your best movie watching friends.
4.  Go to the closest T.V/DVd/Blu Ray system you can.
and finally
6. (because when you are talking about The Expendables there is no time for five.) Watch number one and two in a night that can only be described in an Onomonopia : KA-BLAM.

 Ok now down to brass tax. I want everyone to understand before I write anymore; this article is by no means saying anything bad about the people who wrote/directed/acted/anythinged in any Expendables movie. It is extremley hard to get a filmed made, there are at least a hundred obstacles standing in your way at every cornor. It is a miracle that anyone get's anything made in the movie business, let alone anything good. I am not some angry screenwriter trying to make his mark by criticizing the work of others ( I am also an angry author, angry director and angry actor.)

I am simple trying to explain in my opinion what would make the best Expendables 3.  This is what I do with my time when I am not chasing after women that I never have a chance with. So without further a do, here is how I would make The Expendables 3 :

1. Cut down on characters : One of things that Slyvester Stallone did with The Expendables series is get all these action heroes together in one movie. Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Stathem, Mickey Rourke; these actors are not no-name guys. These are all men with heavy schedules, men who could work on any project that they wanted to. I am not even naming Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li and Terry Crews.

If you did not know, Slyvester Stallone worked his ass off to not only make sure all of the schedules fit and he got all these actors to come together, he also worked his ass off making that first film in general. If you don't believe me, go watch the documentary Inferno : The Making of 'The Expendables', it highlights everything. I mean the man literally broke his neck to make this film; no matter the ending product, that is vallant thing. At least from the point of view of a film lover such as my self.

With that said, I feel it would be best to cut down on the characters. Both The Expendables ran into the same problems that movies with such large casts do. It seemed that while certain characters were getting a fragment of character development, others were getting nothing at all. And in my opinion, no one character got the right character development they deserve. Look at a movie like the Magnificent Seven as an example.  That is an ensemble movie as well and I feel like I understood and cared about all of the seven.

The best way to do this for me would be getting rid of characters, killing off if needed. Keep the actual Expendables down to only a few. If I got my choice of characters to keep it would be Sly, Jason, Terry, and Mickey, you could possible replcae Terry Crews with Jet Li if need be. To me four is a good number for the actual group. Dolph just seemed to be drifting around looking for a role to be in both films and Randy just didn't seem to fit. When  you have someone like Jason Statham who could be the figher of the group, I just don't see the point of Randy Couture.

When it comes to Bruce Willis's and Schwarzenegger's characters, I feel that you still need something along the same lines of them. Willis's character especially, Willis's character can be an important character when it comes to the plot of the film. You need someone to establish what The Expendables ( what's left of them at least) need to do, maybe someone to supply them with information and weapons. But with that said, it nowhere needs to be Willis. There has been rumors of who was going to be in this film, Cage and Chan have both been thrown around. I feel like adding a new character into the Willis role would not only be able to bring in a new big time action hero, but also give the orginization that Willis works for a little weight to it. It will make said orginization, a more shaddy orginization. Even give the new actor the same character name, Mr. Church, just to add that extra level of shaddy.

2. After cutting down on characters, add depth to the characters : One of my favorite parts of the first film, wasy Mickey Rourkes monolgue. As a writer and a fan of fiction, I have always been a big fan of characters. The moment in The Expendables 1 were Mickey Rourke delivers his monolgue is possible my favorite film moment of the whole film. It gives his character an actual backstory without having him go into a huge expository mess and also makes you feel the character. It let's the character actually become a character. It kind of questioned the nature of the action heroes that the film portrays throughout, it is a thoughtfull point. After this point though,we are give no character developing moment.

The other movies tried to do this at points; one example that comes to mind in the first film is the storyline with Jason Statem and his girlfriend ( played by the wonderful Charisma Carpenter). This to me was the start of a good character moment, you could explained parts of Jason Statham characters, parts of his past. But after a fight scene with Charisma Carpenter's boyfriend and friends, we are given nothing. Something like this could be a big character moment, Carpenter's character could be more. Carpenter's character could almost be someone who Statham character confides to about his past.

3. Combine the best of both plots : Both plots of The Expendables one and two had their good points. They both equal had their bad points. The Expendables one plot was a small scale plot, but still a plot that seemed to fit the film. At the same time, it was way to easy for the cast you were given. Besides Stone Cold Steve Austin, Stone Colden up the place, there seemed to be no challenge. The second film suffered from this a little bit, but not as much. The second film on the other hand, had a huge plot., a plot that seemed could only be solved by a super group like The Expendables. It seemed that at times the group actually struggled. At other times the plot seemed ridiclous; think of the worst James Bond plot and add it by ten.

What the third plot needs to be is a mixture of both plots. Make something personal, but not so easy that it looks like The Expendables are bulling the opposition. One of the best parts about The Expenables two is the fight between Van Damme and Stallone. This fight seemed personal, charasmatic and important. At times, with my huge window of disbelief, I questioned who would in at the end of the fight. If you kill the rest of the group, have the remaining Expendables go after their killers. Make the leader of their killers an add on, someone who will put up a fight.

To me with this things combined, a dash of good directing and writing, and a little dash of luck, the sky is the limit...... or at least a good action film that is represented by the sky. Again, take my word for what it is worth. I have never directed a film and have never had a piece of work published in anything, but I have been watching movies for a majority of my life. So by that logic..... I am the only person you should be listening to.

In Defense: The Amazing Spiderman. Spolier Alert

Hello everyone... I hope you are having a wonderful day. As you can see from a new post from me that I have something nerdy/useless to comment on. Now I know what your thinking " Shouldn't you be doing homework ?" "Finals are coming up" and to that I say...........

I decided a few weeks ago that I was going to start a new series. This new series arised from someone bad mouthing a certain Scientolgists acting work based on his religious choice, this of course made me kind of angry. So it got me thinking about things I like that need defending, things that when I bring up seem to get unfairly trashed. So I decided who better to defend them then yours truley. 
And I decided to start out with one of my favorite movies of the year.  Those of you who did not read my Batman post (Go read it now fool!!) might not know that Spiderman is one of my favorite comic book characters of all time ( right next to Batman).  I'm not sure why he stood out to me as a kid, maybe it was his saracasm, maybe it was the fact that he had Spider Powers, I'm not sure. But as a semi-adult, the character really speaks to me. Besides Batman, Spiderman is the only other main superhero who to me is defined by the tragic events that happen to him, and for some reason that intrests me. No matter what Spiderman does, he always seems to lose what he wants the most... but yet keeps on fighting. Not only does he keep on fighting, he fights with this sense of confidence of someone who has never lost anyone. I like the duality of the character as well, Spiderman and Peter Parker are two very different people to me, even more than Batman and Bruce Wayne. Too me the identity of Peter Parker is still an existing identity, were as Bruce Wayne doesn't really excist to me, he is just Batman's mask. Peter on the other hand is still that dorky, awkward kid that we all know is inside us, Spiderman is just the mask of confidence he puts on to do the right thing.

I am going to start out by telling you things I did not like about the movie:
1. The Lizard. So one other thing that has always attracted me to Spiderman is his Rogue's Gallery. Besides Batman, Spiderman probably has the most known Rogue's Gallery. I mean while doing a movie you could pick from any number of amazing villains, Spiderman has so many that it would take an eight season show to not only get them all used, but use them to their potential. It made me extremely excited when I heard that The Lizard was going to be the main villain in The Amazing Spiderman. I love The Lizard a lot and the idea of a live action version of him got me excited in a very nerdy way. But after seeing the movie I was very disapointed. First off The Lizard looks awful, Marc Webb seemed to want to make everything look different then the movies before him and put his own Mark ( haha pun) on things. While I don't mind that, to make the Lizard look like...... I don't even know how to describe it, if you have ever seen what the dinosaur soldiers were supposed to look like in the planned Jurassic Park 4 movie.... he looked like those ... and they looked awful. Not only that they didn't do the character very well. The character didn't really show his duality that makes him such a good villian for Spiderman. It looked like Conners was in control a lot of the time and that really bothers me.

2. The Reboot factor: So as you may know, these were not the first Spiderman films made. In Hollywoods constant need to reboot everything since Batman became successful, and Spiderman 3's constant need to suck, it was almost a for sure thing that Spiderman was going to be rebooted.  But the problem is that Spiderman 3 didn't suck as hard as Batman and Robin. Add that along with the hatred of reboots and you got a problem. My problem with the reboot is Spiderman's origin story. While Spiderman's origin story is very important to character as a whole, is it really that important for the movie ? I mean don't we all know Spiderman's backstory about as much as we know our own backstory ? Just a thought.

3 Taking off the mask.  This movie did what annoys me the most about a lot of superhero films. It seems that every five seconds Garfield was taking off his mask or getting his mask taken off. I understand that the mask kind of limits our to have empathy with a characte since faical expressions is ver key in this, but he took it off a lot.

Now time for some defending:
1. The Movie is just plain better than Spiderman 1. As much as I thought the origin story was redundent, they defintley did the best Spiderman origin story ever. If you go back and watch Spiderman 1 you will realize, much like I did, that it does not hold up in many parts. While I loved it as a kid, now as a semi-adult I am starting to see many of the cracks in it. I found myself not caring throughout a lot of Spiderman 1. A lot of the origin story seems to be glossed over, I didn't even feel that bad when Uncle Ben died this time around in Spiderman 1, I can not say the same for The Amazing Spiderman. I felt for Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker all the way through, when Uncle Ben died I started to tear up. When he started to look at Dr.Conners as a father figure I could relate to that, when his father figure started to betray him I started to relate to that, the ending scene were (spolier alert)............ Captian Stacy dies.... I started to tear up. I felt that the script was better as well, the movie felt more realsitic to me, but not too realistic. It was almost as if it was taking what made The Dark Knight and The Avengers great and morphing it to fit Spiderman. I really feel like this is Spiderman's first go at being a superhero, he's not that good at doing it, he's still learning to be the Spiderman we all know he can be.

2. Emma Stone aka chemistry. So as many of you might know.....I have a major celebrity crush on Emma Stone. I feel that that the woman is not only beautiful, but also an amazing actress. I am still kind of angry that she did not get the Oscar nomination for her work in The Help ( that is a debate for another day.) With Emma Stone, came not only an amazing female actress, but also came chemistry. To me Gwen Stacy is an amazing character in the Spiderman Universe. She is Peter's first love and a big part of who Spiderman is today, she loves Peter for who he is, not for who he pretends to be, which is always something I questioned with Mary Jane. I felt that the chemistry between the two actors was amazing and one of the highlights of the film. I'm sure them being an actual couple in real life doesn't hurt anything, but it just seemed that this is one of the few times in my many years of movie going wheere I truley believed that the two were a couple.

3. The Casting in General. The one thing that I think made this movie as good as it was, is the casting. I feel that everyone in this film is perfect for the role they are in. Martin Sheen was an amazing Uncle Ben who was everything that Uncle Ben should be, Salley Field a great Aunt May... and lets not forget Rhys Ifans. As much as I disliked how they used The Lizard, Rhys Ifans as Doctor Connors is just great. He portays a desprate man, while still being this father figure to Peter, I believed that a inner darkness could be behind this great man.

4. Comic Book Spiderman/Andrew Garfield. One thing that made me want to do The Amazing Spiderman for my first In Defense was looking at fourms. One thing that I am a fan of is talking about Geeky/Nerdy things with fellow nerds, usually I like to do it in a nice way. Usually when I talk to someone about something we both love I try not to hurt their feelings over a different opinion, apparently most fourms do not have the same philosophy as me. What I got was so many people giving not unintelligent post, but mean and hateful posts. One clearly was about Andrew Garfield. So here is my opinion about Andrew Garfield as Spidermam, if you do not like Andrew Garfield over Tobey Maguire as Spiderman, I honestly do not think you like the comic book version of Spiderman. Andrew Garfield not only pulled of the look of Peter Parker to me, but he made me believe that Spiderman was in while also adding in the new kind of nerdness to him. He was socially awkward while he was Peter, but as soon as he became Spiderman he was the wise cracking Spiderman we all know and love. This is also a complement to the writing, clearly the writers understood who Spiderman is. Adding Peter's science knowledge also added just that little bit of comicness that I know I love and I hope others loved.

Here is my dream cast for the Spiderman franchise..... yes I love Dream Casts, clearly some of these will have already been cast being that I have made this after The Amazing Spiderman. I use a lot of the same actors from Batman:
Peter Parker/Spiderman : Andrew Garfield
Gwen Stacy: Emma Stone
Mary Jane Watson: Shailene Woodley
Dr. Curt Conners: Rhys Ifans
May Parker: Salley Fields
Ben Parker: Martin Sheen
George Stacy: Dennis Leary

Norman Osborn/ Green Goblin: Ralph Finnes or James Marsters
Shocker/ Herman Schultz: Jon Bernthal
Adrian Toomes/ The Vulture: John Malkovich or Tobin Bell
Morbius/ Michael Morbius: Bencio Del Toro
Kraven The Hunter: Javier Bardem
Eddie Brock/ Venom: Alex Pettyfer
Sandman/ Flint Marko: Henry Rollins
Quentin Beck/ Mysterio: Sam Trammell
Marc Gargan/ The Scorpin: Timothy Olyphant

Diary of an Aspiring Writer # 2

 Hello everyone, its me again. It's been two weeks since my last post and I felt since I just turned in my short story in, in my creative writing class. I am thinking of trying to expand it from a short story to a novel or a novella, it just depends on how much I can get into it.

This may seem a little weird, but I think I can do it.  My teacher assigned the story to be at least 1o pages, and to try for 20 if you can. I got 40 pages........ what the hell. Hopefully that didnt come off as a brag, it could easily be 40 pages of crap, but still I'm impressed with it.

I have a few other novel ideas that have come up, one being a reimaging of King Arthur in modern day times ( probably done before, but still) and the other is something that's not fully developed yet so I will wait to explain it.

I still haven't started on my horror script, been busy with school and such. I will get it done, whether its just an exercise in getting something done or I actually am able to do something with ... only time will tell.

I might put some of my work from creative writing on here, it all depends on what the bylines of Blogger are, I would like to be able to keep the rights to my things for now at least, hence why I havent put anything on facebook.

Well till next time

Diary of an Aspiring Writer: #1

So this a new thing I am starting now that I am still trying to write in my blog more. I am goint to try chronical all the things I do throughout the week involving writing. I hope people this and I hope in some way this gets me to write more than I do right now.

So right now I am taking a creative writing class at Sauk and by far it is my favorite class in the world. The class so far has taught me so much about writing, I think my writing in general has become so much better.I know for a fact that my poetry has gotten better.

In class we am currently working on short stories. I have come to the realization because of this that everything I have written in the class has been extremly depressing. All my poems ( besides the dirty limeric of course) and scenes have been depressing things. My short story is about a kid who is about to kill himself few day after his birthday. I mean theres more too it than that, but that is a main part of it.

Because of these though I havent been able to work on my novel, but I think its ok because after I get my short story done I am going to try and length it to be a novella and see if I can get it published.

I have decided that I'm going to write a script eveuntally, I have at least three movie ideas floating around that I really just need to get on paper. One's a zombie film, one's a horror film that's a little like The Breakfast Club, and one is a batman idea I had. Granted the last one ever being made is questionable, but it be nice to have it written down instead of just keeping it in my head. Maybe get it made into a comic someday.

Well time to end this anticlamtical
Till next time

Batman Reboot

Hey everyone, guess what time it is ? Time for me to make my first blog post in a couple of months ! I do feel kind of bad on failing at my blog New Year's revolution, but hey I feel like it's ok because most of that time I have been working on actual works of fiction that I hope to get published some day, so thats a plus right ?

Any way, I am sure most of you know already that I, and many others, have seen The Dark Knight Rises.... and It was amazing. For those of you who don't know, I am basically obsessed with superheroes. I have loved them ever since I was a little kid watching Spiderman and Batman cartoons( both of which still hold up).

And of all the superheroes out there my favorite of all time has to be the Cape Crusader himself, Batman. As a kid I am sure I was attracted to him because of his look and the fact that he had a show on. Now I feel I am pulled to the character because of his heroic nature, his flaws, his amazing rouges gallery,the dark and grittyness of the character, and his novelistic personality.

If you do not travel along movie sites on the interwebs than you may not know that after The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale and most of the cast will not return thus ending the Nolan Batman saga. And probably even fewer of you know that with the reboot craze that Hollywood is going through as of current Batman is already set up for the reboot treatment.

This is something I love hearing. While I will miss the gritty, noir feel to the Nolan Batman saga, the idea of Batman still being on the screen in the forseable future excites me and with The Avengers making a shit ton of money, DC has already stated that they would like to get a Justice League Movie out there as soon as possible.

So with this I would like to give all of you reading ( all five of you) the opinion of a aspiring author, a movie, novel, and comic book nut, and a nerd with way too much time on his hand and no girlfriend at all.

1. Don't fix what isnt broken. While I don't want any director/ writer team coming in and trying to copy the Nolan way of doing Batman, it is the best way to use Batman on the big screen.  Batman at his core, is this dark gritty hero, with a strict moral code, something that is put in a extremely good light in the noir film type. Nolan showed that at his best, Batman is a tragic hero who while having many victories, still is defined by death. To go back to the Adam West Batman or even ( and I hate typing it) The Batman and Robin Batman would be a mistake.

2. By the same token you have to do something different. To me there is no point in rebooting a movie if you are just going to copy the last guy who did it. I know it contradictes what I am saying in a way, but who ever is directing and writing the next Batman film needs to take a few plays from the Marvel playbook, especially Iron Man 1.  You need to make the film seem like it is ripped almost straight from the comic book, while still keeping the dark, realistic aspect that has made the Nolan series so amazing. Build a universe like Marvel has done with there films, but still make the film seem like it means something.

3. Have Batman be an older Batman. When I say older Batman I don't me The Dark Knight Returns, old man Batman. I just think at this point it is useless to start with another origin story. Everyone and their mother knows the Batman origin story. I bet you at this point if you were to go up to some random person on the street 8 times out of 10 they can explain to you Batman's origins. To me 33 sounds a good age to me, Batman is not in a walker, but also is not a newbie. You get more experienced Batman.

4. Think about adding Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, or the Entire Batfamily to the mix. I know what you are thinking " Wasnt that one of the main problems with Batman and Robin, too many characters ?" While I agree with you that at most points it seems like that is a big problem, but I feel with the right execution this can be remadied, look at The Avengers and The Dark Knight as my key examples. While Alfred and Gordan are key elements to Batman as a character, giving Bruce more of a family would explore many other aspects that Robin and the rest of the bunch help him explore.

5. Do not use any of the villians used in the previous films. At least not so soon, maybe start with a villian who has been seen on the screen or who has but that performance ....didn't turn out so well ( cough cough Mr.Freeze). That's the thing abouts Batman that makes him so differen than many of the comic book heroes out there, his rouges gallery is riddled with amazing villians. Even some of the most riduclous ones( Calander Man I'm looking at you) handled right could be cool additions. Too use The Joker, Bane, Two Face or Ra's al Ghul would just bring a unneed expectation that no film want

6. Cast Well. I know this seems like a no brainer, but this is one of the things that many Superhero movies do wrong. For Batman you need to get someone who can be both the mask that is Bruce Wayne and while getting someone imposing enough to be the Bat.  Everyone needs to be perfect at their role.

If they do those few things I feel that the Batman Reboot will be infintly better than many of the other reboots out there. This film must be taken with care, it has already gotten an expection that could easily go against it.

Dream Cast : This is my dream cast for the Batman Reboot, this is not nesscarily the cast I would cast if ever given the chance to Direct/ Write it, it's more or less saying just like a wish list of actors that could play the role.

Batman:  Jon Ham
Nightwing : Matt Bomer or Pen Badgley
Robin: Logan  Lerman or Josh Hutcherson
Oracle/Bat Girl: Sarah Michelle Gellar
Alfred: John Hurt or Geoffrey Rush
Jim Gordan: Bryan Cranston or Bruce Willis
Two Face: Joaquin Phoenix or Damien Lewis
Mr. Freeze: Patrick Stewart or Ralph Fiennes

To coin a phrase.- A List

        So I have been thinking lately ( ok just today) about a phrase I have been saying lately. The phrase is  " You don't know how much money I would pay to see that" I usually say this after I am talking about some geeky thing that either seems impossible or is impossible.
 
         So since I have not written a blog in a while I took this random thought about the phrase and decided to run with it. What would I really pay this infinte amount of money to achieve/see/have ?

         Now before I get into this I should probably explain a little bit about what this list will probably be entitled of. Now I am fully aware that if I this amazing power, I should probably solve a few of the worlds problems before I accomplish any of these listed items. These items will primarilay be made up of things on the top of my head that my nerdy heart desires, things that while might not seem important to you ( or most of the world) are incredible important to me. So with that in mind here comes the list.

1. Marry Emma Stone, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Hayley Williams, Zooey Deschanel, and Mila Kunis.

2. Give Firefly at least five more seasons

3. Have Heath Ledger's Joker and Tom Hardy's Bane meet..... just meet, interact, anything of that nature.

4. Have a good League of  Extraordinary Gentlemen movie be made, one that doesn't create another hell in a universe that none of us will ever find.

5. Punch R.L. Stine right in the face...... it needs to be done.

6. Have a good Resident Evil movie be made,  watch the new trailer for Resident Evil five and try to tell me that resembles a good film at all.

7. Have a  live action cross over of Dexter and Sherlock

8. Have a live action cross over of Batman and Dexter

9.  Have Spiderman make some kind of apperence in the next Avengers movie.

10. Share an apartment with Joss Whedon, Neil Gaimen,  Ryan Gosling, and Seth Rogan

11. Have a drink with Ernest Hemmingway

12. Play pool with Ryan Gosling

13. Fight Zombies with Ryan Gosling.......... and Simon Pegg.... and Nick Frost

14. Have the Justice League and the Avengers along with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Blade and the Winchester Brothers be transported to the Twilight Universe and have them destroy ever vampie ......all of them.

15. Explain to Stephenie Meyer how she almost ripped my soul to pieces when she created the Twilight Universe.

16. Have Joss Whendon write/ direct all of the Avengers films ever made and any Justice League that will be made.

17. Have a life sized model of the Tardis in my home.

18.  Follow Jason Statam around for a day

19.  Kick the door into every resturant I go to.

And finally ..................

20. Buy a state of the art duplicate of the DeLorean from Back to the Future.

Power Ranger's reboot dream cast

Well hello everyone. It has been one month since I have last blogged so I have decided that I will blog once a month. That right now is my writing goal for the blog, maybe Ill blog more, but I definetley won't blog less. So this thought occured to me while at work ( this is how boring my job is), with the plethora of reboots, remakes, and reinvisions coming out in the magical land of film these days, I am suprised that the classic 90's kids show ( I refuse to admit that the newer addisons not only count, but exist) the Power Ranger's. I would like to offical throw my hat in as a creative consultant/ writer ( anyone out there doing this reboot hint hint) I mean if you look the basic premise it's not bad..... remeber I said not bad, not amazing, but not bad. I am looking at the cast of the film by the way. So here is my dream cast for this completely ridiculous concept. Again sorry for no pictures I am terrible at technology

The Red Ranger/ Rocky DeSantos:  Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. in my opinion is one of the greatest actors alive today.  The man is one of the greatest method actors of all time, you could cast him as anything and the man would make you believe that he truley is it.  Who else would play the defacto lead of the Power Rangers ? The man will bring something to the role that would make it his own and hopefully bring a little bit of the Tony Stark charm as well. 

The Black Ranger/ Adam Park: Tom Hardy
I know what you are all thinking, wasn't the black ranger black. Now to make this reboot different ( and try to stear away from Zordon looking like a rascit) I am going to cast a white actor. I feel that to any group you need a big guy, a guy who nobody wants to fuck with, who could kick anything and everythings ass that comes at him. Someone with a possible hidden tragic past  and has a heart of gold? Who can play this better than Tom Hardy, I dare you to watch the movie Warrior and tell me that he doesn't play that character at it's best., but

The Blue Ranger/ Billy Cranston: Donald Glover:
To me the blue ranger was always the comic relief. The spiderman if you will to the group, always fighting along with everyone else, but making some quick quip while doing it. Nobody can do this this better than Donald Glover. If you have not heard of Donald I would suggest you go and watch either Community or the Mystery Team, both are prime examples on why he is one of the great up and coming comics.

Tommy Oliver/ The White Ranger: Chris Pine
So to me Tommy Oliver was always the cocky pro of the group, a guy who had faught before so now he feels that he is the best. He feels like he should be leader, but will be there for you when you need him. Who better to play this man than Chris Pine aka Captian Kirk from the new Star Trek.  I mean Chris has the cocky thing down pretty well, while still leaving you with the hint that he know what he is doing and should be on the team. Chris is one of the best up and coming actors and I think that he would a great addition to this film

Kimberly Hart/ The Pink Ranger: Jessica Biel
 So to me the Pink Ranger is a person who is confident person, she knows why she is part the group and embraces everything that the group stands for. She doesnt have a personal life, doesn't want one. She feels that she needs to prove herself on a team of the this cailbur. To me Jessica Biel perfectly embodies that. Though many of her movies have sucked ( Blade Trinty, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot any one ?) I feel like that doesn't make her a terrible actress. For action actresses out there I would probably put her up there in the top tier of  good ones. By the way I do realize that this pretty close to being the opposite of what the original Pink ranger was like... I again don't want to typecast something.


The Yellow Ranger/ Trini Campbell : Zooey Deschanel
 I would make the Yellow Ranger would of course the exact oppoiste of the Pink Ranger. She doesn't feel that she needs to impress any of the other rangers. Being a ranger doesnt fill up her life, she puts her life and being a ranger into two different catagoreys. Two words Zoey Deschanel

Ok for the rest I think just giving a cast listing should be sufficiant.
Skull aka Larger bully: John Goodman
Bulk aka Smaller bully: Charlie Day
Alpha 5:  Woody Allen or Billy Crystal
Zordon: Clint Eastwood
 Rita Repulsa: Elizabeth Banks
Lord Zedd :  John Malkovich
Ivan Ooze : Ralphin Fines

So this is my dream cast for the Power Rangers Reboot, personally I think it's the best dream cast that I have ever put on here, but that's just my opinion.

5 reasons why Hayley Williams is just simpley amazing... while listening to Amish Paradise?

Hello anyone reading this. I have not posted a blog in quiet a long time and I feel bad for that. Why have a blog if you are not going to post in it right ? So I am going to try and post in it more often now, not just because of the fact that I should post in a blog becasue if I didn't there would be no point in having a blog, but also as kind of a writing exerise. So I was trying to think of a blog topic and decided that I will start doing list of things, because as you know there is nothing in the world as original as making lists of nerd things. So to start off my listapoloza I think I shall start by talking about a person that I definetly have a major celebrity crush on and that would be Mrs. Hayley Williams. I don't really think it's weird to dedicate a whole blog to one woman, since well many of the songs, books, and poems that we know are dedicated to woman, so suck it. She is the frontwoman for one of my favorite bands ever, Paramore. I would also add that she is possibly my favorite female lead singer....EVER! I would put a picture of her up, but I have not fully figured out how the internet works so until then just goggle her yourself ....weridoes.

1. Reason 1: Her Hair. I know it's an odd thing to start with and isn't helping my whole " this isn't werid thing" but oh well. If any of you are Paramore fanatics like me, you will know that through out the timeline of Paramore, Hayley's hair has been quiet.....unique for a long time. A lot of colors and all the time it just looks amazing. I respect anyone who has enough self confidence to have a unique hair styler/color because that definetly says " To hell with what other things of me, I want to be happy with myself" I hope to reach that point fully.

2. Reason 2: That Voice. To even say that she has an amazing voice kind of seems like an insult to me. I could listen to her singing Ice Ice Baby, hell I would pay for a cd full of terrible songs sung by her. I would listen to her sing " The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe and be happy with life. Her song Teenagers on the Jennifer's Body Soundtrack is probably the only good thing about that awful movie. I expect when I go to heaven to either hear her voice... or the voice of Jason Seagle. One thing that I find incredible attractive (besides crazy hair of course) is a woman who has a voice, don't know what it is but that's just me I guess.

3. Reason 3: Her Duet with Weezer of Rainbow Connection. Fun Fact about me, one of my favorite songs of all time is Rainbow Connection. I could listen to this song everyday, any hour. So when I heard that not only Weezer ( one of the greatest 90's bands ever!!) that also Hayley was singing on it. Great day. Her voice with that amazing song and Weezer in the background.... words do not describe the amazingness. Now if only she would do a cover of Smells like Teen Spirit and Heart Shaped Box. If such things exist anyone who tells me about it will get the best virtual hug ever!

4. Reason 4: She is incredible beautiful. I know this is basicaly a cop out, but I am incredibly fine with that. to sound less creepy I am just going to leave it at this and say that she has the face of an angel... who is also in a badass band with a tuxudo t-shirt on that says I'm formal but I'm also here to party.

5. Reason 5: Her Personality. Now time to bring the room down. This is all speculative since... well I haven't met her ever, but from interviews and things of that nature she seems like a truley nice person. You always hear of those famous people out there in ole Hollywood that people that you look up to arn't really what they seem to be, which is a major let down. To me she just seems like she wouldn't be one of those celebrities and if my assumptions are correct then there will be no major let downs around here anymore.  

So that there is my list. If you liked .. awesome, if not... thanks any ways. If you have any suggestions on what lists you would like to see feel free to tell me, I am always up for suggestions. So goodnight and good luck my friends.

Random thoughts- Dress shirt, Tie, and... Jeans ?

Is it odd for a guy to worry so much about his apperance as I do ? I'm not talking about my actual appereance I am talking about my out fit. I think I am kind of digging a hole of unmanlessness here, but what I am trying to get at really is that I think I have a very healthy obssesion with waring a Dress shirt, with some kind of Tie, and Jeans. If I had a decent pair of converse I would ware those also, but for now I stick with dress shoes. When I ware this attair, I don't know I feel kind of like a real author. That probably sounds kind of pathetic, but I can't really be sorry for something like that, it's just who I am. That's not to say with out this attair I feel like less of a writer or anything like that, but I don't know it kind of makes me feel like I am on top of the world, nothing can hurt me when I have my trademark attair. It's kind of like a knights armor, but more a less a geeks armor.

Bad days suck

What is about good days where it seems like ten bad days are around the corner ? Bad days have haunted every good that I have had for a long time. It's like for every amazing moment that I have where I just forget any problem or just any stupid nonsense that comes at me, a moment of suckeyness comes and screws it up and makes everything ten times worse.  It makes me question when can I just be happy ? I mean I hear of all my friends just constantly being happy, why can't I be like that ? This one thing that made my want to write a book about a suicidal author, that and my own battles with being suicidal, but writing it without a pessimistic view is quiet hard. I want it to have this uplifting feeling to it but I just don't feel uplifted. I miss the days were I could just vent to one person and they would assure me like no one else could that everything will be all right.  I just wanted you all to know Bad Days Suck !!!

Breakfast club remake/ Remakes in General.... Possibly John Hughes Remakes, Midnight Run

So here I am again, it's about 4:12 a.m. and I am writing a blog. What is different though is I kind of have a reason for writing this blog ( as if I am writing to stop some major catastrophe). So I decided to look up some covers of songs, like I do alot, because of course I am a big fan of cover songs, I don't they have intrest me seeing a song or a story from someone else point of view ( which is kind of hypocritical to the whole point of this blog). So of course I went to Yellowcard's performence of Don't You Forget About Me at the 2003 VMA's( one of the few good things to come fake award shows.) It is to me one of the best performences of any song ever, it mixes what is an amazing song with with clips that just seem to fit perfectly with how they are playing it. Every time I see it, I have to fight back tears knowing that we as a world will never see a Hughes film again. Breakfast Club is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I think putting it like that is putting it lightly. Breakfast Club is one of the few movies that I can say is more then a movie to me ( a really short list for me), it's a movie that just brings up so much amazing,painful, confusing, and changing memories for me. I honestly think that it's John Hughes Magnum Opus, though basiclay all of his films are classics ( his is honestly one of the few filmmakers or storytellers to ever get how young adults are) Breakfast Club is a film were everything just seems to align so perfectly. The cast is amazing, the dialouge is realistic to the point were even the 80s talk doesn't bother me,  music of course is amazing, there are very few things wrong with this movie. The movie to me just showed me an important message of life really, life sucks sometimes.  Through out high school no matter what problem I went through I knew that somebody was going to be there for me going through the same thing. It also taught me the age old lesson of not judging a book by it's cover, who gives a shit if someone is a geek and your a jock, people are people and to deny someone the same respect you ask for is a terrible thing. So to get to my point, I have come to a conclusion that Breakfast Club is one of the few movies that should never be remade. Now I'm some film snab saying that no film should ever be remade. I mean granted there are many films that probably shouldn't be remade, but I will give them a chance, I mean everybody was saying that remaking Dawn of the Dead was a terrible idea, but look what happened we got what I think is one of the best zombie movies ever made. The Thomas Crown Affair, Ocean's Eleven, The Fly, Scareface, The Thing all examples of why remakes work when done right. But to me John Hughe's films in general are just forbidden ground. I mean can you honestly see anyone else but Molly as Samantha Baker, or how about Shia as Bender ( scary thought, no offense Shia I seem to be one of the few people left who still likes you) or and I shutter thinking this Michael Cera as Brian Johnson. Hell I can't think of anyone else as Keith Nelson besides Eric Stoltz he was that character. I heard already ( take that as more of a rumor because these things float around all the time) that they were thinking about remaking Ferris Buller's Day Off. The fact that they would even think about touching that film makes me worry about Planes, Trains, and Automobiles  ( favorite Hughes film). But realisticly to me all of those besides maybe Ferris and Planes, all of those could be remade and I think that I would be fine with it. But Breakfast Club is unremakeable. Any attempt to remake it will fail, I'm not doubting any actor todays talents, but it would be like someone going back to remake Jaws or Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You have something that will be remembered by generations for being so great that in a way it surpassed it genre and should be on the list of greatest films ever made. To even try and remake would tarnish the romantizism of it a little bit. Really that's all I got to say about that. Oh and why has no one tried a Midnight Run remake, that is one thing I would love to write, there is a film that is pretty good amd the remake with some of the amazing actors we have today, WOW I am having goosebumps thinking about it, sorry for the little geek out.
See you later

Randomness: Titan A.E, Lit, Molly Ringwald, Rammstein, Heavy Metal music, Crappy Films,Nick Cage

So I have not written a blog for quiet sometime now, kind of mixture of being lazy and just being busy, I know oxymoron oh well. I kind of like this whole random thought format so I think I will stick to it for a while, and if you don't like thank you for reading my blog, I now know someone is reading my blog enough to not like a format, kind of a win if you think about it. So right now I am half way watching Under Seige 2: Dark Territory, Listening to Lit and writing a little bit on my stories. That brings up a question what ever happened to Lit ? I mean personally I always liked them, thought they were a good band who had at least a few hits like Over My Head ( on one of my favorite animated movies ever Titan A.E.), Miserable ( one of my favorite music videos ever, look it up), and My Own Worst Enemy( Just one of my favorite songs ever, have been considering listening to it and writing something).I mean at one time they were at least kind of big, they were part of that late ninties movement of poppy rock music that was not pop and wasen't alt rock, but really wasen't pop rock I dont really know to discribe it. Molly Ringwald might be 80s crush, like Ally Sheedy, Lea Thompson, Kelly LeBrock, and Phoebe Cates are all extemly beautiful ladies, but Molly was just I dont Know, she just had something that was like " Man she so hot, but she gets what us nerdy guys are going through, dont go for Jake Ryan Go for Jacob Pierce" kind of thing. Listening to Rammstein's  Dont die before I do( Translated Title), it could honestly be one of the most depressing songs in the world,  some people try to say that that Rammstein has no lyrical vaule, but that kind of seems like a load of crap. Why does Rammstein have no musical vaule ? Because they are a heavy band ? I hate the whole hippster hate against Heavy Metal music " It's not John Mayer so it's not good" " It's not the Dave Mattews band so why listen". I am sorry they try to do something more then depress the shit out of everyone, I mean granted I will always say that I love the depressing crap like no other, but that doesn't mean I think that the heavy stuff has any less of a meaning to their songs.  One thing I worry about is like lets say are civalization is destroyed and aliens or the remaining kids of the humans who survived come to earth and some how find out about love of crappy movies, that the will then base all there movies off of those because they think they are the way to do film.  Granted there are many things wrong with the situation I just said but hopefully you got what I meant. I am a man who loves to watch terrible movies. Not only do I love it, I can only do it with other people so then I am bringing down someone else in my terrible habit. I can not tell you why I love them so much, like after I watch a movie that amazes me like watching Ghost Dog and then watching Killer Clowns from Outerspace. It might be the fact that I love the chesseness, maybe it's the fact that someone could actually work on this and say " Yep the public should see this" ( Nick Cage ?). Also what the hell happened to Nick Cage ? I know it's really trendie to talk about Nick Cage and all, but this is a honest question coming from a Nick Cage fan. I know that he has had some trouble with money latley, but that does not excuse Drive Angry, Ghost Rider, Season of the Witch, Next, Knowing, and G-Force. The man was a above average actor I mean look at Adaptaion, The Rock, Con Air ( I know I like it cause it is kind of rediculious and also goes into my love of just crazy action films), The National Treasure Series ( what can I say I love history and I love the whole Indiana Jones think, thought Nick is extremely different then Indy I am just saying), Leaving Las Vegas, and of course Rasing Arizona. I am thinking of starting a compain of bring back sane Nick Cage, but I am kind of worried that he is long gone. Well Seya

Randomness again - writing, paramore,pet peeve on music fans, Pandora, sadness sort of, Dexter

 So here I am again, 1:56 am, on 6/21/2011, having really nothing to do. Luckily this time I am writing from my handydandy labtop though so thats good at least. I have written a little bit of my vampire story, I think I might have written a little bit of my suicide story, maybe I will write a little more story wise probably. I am currently listening to The Only Exception by Paramore. Now if you didnt know I am kind of a big fan of Paramore, I really love basicaly anything they have made and of course for me even to try to describe how amazing Hayley Williams voice is would be giving it a discreadit which to do should commdemn you from being a fan of music, I mean say what you want about Paramore as a band,Hayley's voice is one of a kind. That's really why it didn't bother me that the Farro Brothers left. If you want my opinnion ( which I am expecting you do because you are reading my blog) they left because Hayley was getting the fame that she deserved and they were jealous, plain and simple really.  I mean you really can replace anyone in that band besides her, just saying Paramore is Hayley. The Only Exception is probably one of the best songs to come out of the past few years. People are going to judge my comment and say that I'm not a real fan and that I am a mainstreamer ( don't know if that is a word, but don't really care that much) screw them. Everybody is so worried about a song being to "Main Stream" not being inde enough I guess or another one of my favorite people who are intrested in music are those people who when there favorite bands become big stop listening or complain but still listen because in there opinnion that band "sold out". I mean if you need evidence look at Metallica, after they realsed the Black Album many people wined about the fact that they sold out and became Metallica-lite, and that because the album sold a crap ton of records that somehow Metallica sold out. Now I will grant you that the Black Album is not that heavy as Master of Puppets, but I mean how is a band supposed to make any money with out a album selling a crap ton, it just doesn't make any sense to me. But Metallica sort of went to crap after that album so Oh Well. There is nothing I love more in the world then when I am writing something for a story, for the words to just seem right. I know that sentence probably didn't make any sense,but for me I think that anyone who is a writer in somewhere and not published sort of has a lingering feeling that what they are writing is shit. I mean once you get publish and sell some copies I imagine that it probably gets easier because you know that someone out there will read your book. But that moment when I am writing something and I just look at it and it seems so write, I really can't explain it enough. Now listening to Pandora. God that is possibly the greatest invention in the world, the greatest invention to come along since........Hot Pockets probably haha. efully that doesn't seem like a plug, I'm just saying. Love kind of sucks sometimes. Really what sucks about it is loving but really not getting it back, the idea doesn't not suck at all, like I have said before and its kind of cliche but oh well, Love makes the world go around, but when you don't have it, it is sort of like a giant hole in yourself that needs to be filled. I am sort of in Love with the romantic idea of love, not to say it doesn't exsist or anything, it's just different for everyone. I hate the theory that marriage is archaic, I know a lot of stars have said that but whats archaic about. Granted I have said before that I don't know if I will get married, Marriage in all the right form should be the greatest thing in the world, these two people are telling each other that they love each other so much that they are promiseing to God or who ever else that they won't cheat and they will be there for them forever. Now that doesn't happen all the time, but the fact that it does still gives me hope. I am going to end this by saying that if you are not watching the show Dexter, you should start, well that is if you love amazing storylines, supber acting and a show that is breaking boundrays. Just Saying. Well See ya

Randomness-long

So I really dont have a plan set out for this blog, its currently 2:09 in  the morning, in Illinois and I am up for many of reasons, and I thought that since I cant really write a story on my labtop, I might as well write in my blog. Maybe this will prove to be better then the rest cause I am really just going off of anything, maybe it will really suck, oh well. So I am listening to The Script's For the First Time, The Script is a band that to me many people are on the fence about weather they like them or not. One thing I always hear is a debate weather they are pop, alt rock, or many other labels that people like to put on bands. I dont really think it matters. I personal am a believe in music, just music. What I mean by that is I could honestly care less weather something is Pop or Heavy Metal or Grunge, to me music is music, it all inspires me. I personal believe that their songs are incredible written and that O Donoghue's ( got to love the irish) voice is amazing. Though their songs do make me incredible depressed when I listen to them at this time in the morning. I guess I just wish I didnt feel so lonely you know, dont get me wrong I love life. I love my friends, I love my famliy at times, I wish I got to see some friends more but you know what are you going to do, I love how much I have been able to write recently something I havent been able to do in a long time. It's I have always really felt like I'm missing something, as if I have a huge hole in me and I just need something to fill it I guess, I dont really know how to explain it. I'm not depressed, but I am. I'm just waiting on that person you know to come along, or  I dont even know really. I dont like being that guy who is just a friend, I want to be more I guess. Thats another problem I deal  with though, wanting to be more. I dont really have a high self esteem, I have always wanted to be something more than I am, not really that I want to change my self, because I do love who I am right now. Just I want to meet my potential at ....everything really. Now I am listening to Train Marry Me, sort of masochistic I guess, but I mean I think everyone just gets into that mood where you really just want to be sad. Marriage has never been important to me really. I'm not saying that the idea of loving one person for every is stupid ( quiet the opposite really) it's just, what does Marriage really mean in the end, so you take my last name, woo hoo. I am not oppose to getting married, but if I never did and just lived with a girl I loved, I am fine with that. Now its Maroon 5 Wont Go Home Without You. I have always love the idea of romance really, as dumb as that sounds. The Idea that too people, out of all the people in the universe, can find each other and love each other with the love that people do, it kind of is amazing to me. Which then comes my belief in god. My view really differs with the Church, but I still consider myself a Christian. I just cant deal with that fact that there are many people out there who cant be happy because someone thinks that Christianity goes against it. I believe in Gay rights ( thought not gay, just believe in love like I said), I dont think people who commit Suicide get a instant sentence to hell ( not that I think its a good idea, life is deffiently worth living) and I dont think  that because you believe in a different religion, you may go to hell because of the big wheel of religion that some thing we are playing. But I do believe in a being that created us, and that he is looking out for us. That doesnt mean he is the proverble glove catching us when ever something goes wrong. And it doesnt mean that are lives are predestined really. I think that we all have many paths in front of us, but its are choices that mark are destiny. Now its the Doctor Who theme. By the way if you are a Scifi fan, I recommend watching Doctor Who. It is a brillant show, that if you didnt know has been on for ever. The writing has been amazing latley and Matt Smith is doing an amazing job as the Doctor, probably the third best behind Tennant and Baker. Well I guess this is where I end my huge rant, and since I am bad at endings I will do this
Goodbye

Movie Adaptaions of Books

So last night I rented to movies that I had been kind of dieing to see, I Am Number Four and No Strings Attached. Now while I was very disapointed with No Strings Attached ( No Movie with Natatlie Portman,Kevin Kline,Mindy Kaling and that plot should not be that bad, thanks again Ivan Reitman for showing me that you can not direct) I have actually been quiet suprised with I Am Number Four. Going in I had heard mixed reviews. Some saying its allright movie and others saying that it doesnt fallow the book at all and is terrible. I actually have found enjoyable, and a pretty decent scifi movie, and I plan on reading the books soon, but more importantly the movie brought up a question in my head. Should the movie adpation of a book be called terrible just because it misses parts from the book ? When ever talked about, movie adaptions get sayings thrown around like, " The Book is always better" but I dont think that is the case in most cases. One prime example is A Time to Kill by John Grisham . I saw the movie before I even thought about reading the book, and I loved it, I consider it one of Mathew McConaughey's only good movies. So I tried to read the book, and i just couldnt read the whole thing .I found the movie to be ten times better. The dialouge was more realistic in the movie and Idk it just seemed to do everything better. Now I am also comeing from a life long experance of seeing directors ruin comic book films becuase they like to change major details in characters personalitys and sometimes just dont take it seriously. But I also coming from being a comic book fan, a movie fan, a novel fan, and a inspiring writer understand with novels expecally that not everything can get in. Many subplots have been taken out of the Harry Potter films and those are still great adaptions.So I would just like to ask my fellow geeks to remember this when watching a adaptaion of there favorite book, that it is a adaptaion not the book itself. I am not asking you to let big character development, big time plot develping and terrible screenwriting go, but what I am asking is to not let the small stuff get in the way of what could be a pretty good movie.

April 11- The Saw Franchise

When you think of horror franchieses what comes to mind. The Halloween Series ? The Nightmare on Elm Street Series ? The Friday the 13th series ? Arguable the most popular series today is the the Saw series.It's twist endings and new torture devises have become known to many horror fans around the world . I am writing this log because of what I had to deal with a few nights ago. A few nights ago I decide that since it was the " Final Chapter" and I am a big fan of the first three movies. The first film to was one of the first original horror/thrillers, that created an idea that many directors and writers have tried to deublicate ever since, and gave us a villian that will go down as one of the best in horror movie  and movie villian history. Saw 2 then gave us a different twist on the idea and added a pretty decent character into the mix with Detective Matthews ( who if the series would have been done right, could have went on to be Jigsaw's nemises, in my opinnion). It had a pretty good script that keep me captavied right to the end. When the third one came out it , the whole idea was waring a little thin, but the third movie still was a decent movie, had a decent script and put great characters into the mythology and had a decent twist at the end, that seemed like it would have been the logical end. Now I'm not saying that I ( like many people) am biased against movies with 4 movies in there series, done right we could have a amazing horror series the like that noone has seen. But of course they had to go and ruin it with the next pieces of shit in the line up. Now I saw, Saw 4 and it was a piece of shit, I decided after that I would not watch any of the other pieces of crap in the series intill the series was done. But then the " Final Chapter" allorded me. I thought what the hell, maybe they have finally done another good one and will end the series on a high note. I am here to tell you that Saw " The Final Chapter" Is the biggest piece of shit to ever come out in movie history. It is worst then any direct to dvd movie I have ever seen. I would rather watch Gamebox 1.0( former worst movie in my history of watching movies) Ten times in a row while listening to Justian Beiber, then ever have to watch that piece of crap again. To even comprenhend how bad this movie is you would have to go watch unfortunatly. The film seemed to do what ever 3d movie in the 80's ever did and try to gimmick the 3d, I thought we were pasted that phase in movie making. The script was just plain awful and seemed like a 5 year old wrote it, and I never once cared for any character or event in this intire film. That is my rant

March 30, 2011- Battle L.A.

So this is my blog post and hopefully this will be a good start. I think I will review a movie I saw last night.  Now going into Battle L.A. I had heard a mix of this from people saying it was a great movie that every Scifi fan should see, too people like Roger Ebert ( who I don't agree with often in his movie reviews) calling it  "noisy, ugly, stupid, " and going as far to say that any one who liked this movie is not a intelligent person. My opinnion of the movie was that it was ok. As anticlimactic as that is it's all i can really say about the movie. There were parts I loved and parts I didn't. I thought that Aaron Eckhart,like always, gave a pretty good performence and really got me as a leader with a shady past, but a leader who loves his men none the less. I thought for the most part the acting was fine, I had no problem with the acting. The Aliens though having a few problems( they our supposed to be more advanced then us, but there soliders are useing weapons that barley even match the one's the humans were using) have a pretty good design to them, and really have a intresting reason for attacking, and I thought this movie really stood out from many of the other Alien movies out there. I thought that the affects in this movie were also pretty good, when seeing the destoryed L.A it really gave me a chil, because of the realisim of how L.A. looked and just how disastrous it looked, really all the carange and how the main characters reacted to and seeing them break down so realisticly was one of the big things that keep me into this movie. Now on to my problem with this movie While watching this movie I questioned wheither or not this films Director of Cinematography was purposly going for the shaky, trying to make me puke look or if he had Parkinson's Disease. Many times through out the climatic battle's I had trouble paying attention because the camera was shaking so much. Another problem was some of the plot holes in the script. Like I said earlier these aliens are supposed to be more advanced then us to the point were we can barley stop there air attacks, but they still use weapons that are so weak they really fail in conparastion to what the humans were useing. Many of the characters in the film who are supposed to be main characters arn't really developed well, Eckhart's character is developed fine, and they attempt at a few others but in the long run a few characters die that you really dont feel anything for. I will have to give this movie a 6 out of 10 on the Pierce scale.
