PLACES AND NUMBERS

There’s nothing I hate in movies as much as I hate computer-generated dog-type creatures.  They never enhance the movie, they always look fake, and they probably cost a lot of money to make.  I just picture some d-bag at a studio saying, “You know what this scene is missing?  CG dogs!”

Worst Offenders:

1. The wolves chasing Jake Gyllenhaal in The Day After Tomorrow

2. The dog monster-things in The Chronicles of Riddick

3. The predator-dogs in Predators (which I just saw today. meh.)

What about when this guy accidentally blew up the whole Trade Federation?  ”Golly!  What does this button do?  Oh whoops I just blew up a whole space station!”

Remember when this little bastard comes running out of the jungle throwing smoke bombs and scaring away the velociraptors? That was almost as bad as when the girl karate kicks the velociraptors in Lost World.

Remember when they made Peter Parker emo? That was wack. He looked like he was in Fall Out Boy.

I had been putting off watching The Lovely Bones because I was dreading the rape/murder scene. Thankfully Peter Jackson and co. showed restraint and good taste with the scene.  I thought the movie was great. Stanley Tucci was fantastic and creepy, but Mark Wahlberg seemed miscast. Aside from that I don’t know why critics bashed the film, I enjoyed it.

I saw Eclipse yesterday.  It was better than New Moon.  Bella is wack.  She makes out with Jacob right in front of Edward right after Edward proposed to her.  If I was Edward I would have been like, “Yo Victoria, Bella is all yours.”
