    2015 Ascending (In Movies)

    I'll mention one not on Bob's list: Samurai Cop 2. The original movie is honestly pretty bad, but I love it so much.

    The Downside of the "Marvel Effect"

    For me, I feel differently about all of these studios. Marvel has a very, very good track record so far. They haven't made a truly bad movie yet, just a couple of not-terribly good ones *cough*Iron Man 2*cough* I actively look forward to their movies, even the ones based on characters I know...

    Escape to the Movies: Exodus: Gods and Kings - The 11th Plague

    So I actually went to see this today. Oh my freaking God, that was a wretched experience. Pretty much any and all development is either cut out or glossed over, so it's really difficult to get involved with anything that's happening. And then certain parts just drag on like you wouldn't believe.

    Escape to the Movies: Exodus: Gods and Kings - The 11th Plague

    I think it's a bit ridiculous to call Prince of Egypt better than Ten Commandments. Both are incredible films, but damn that original has a lot going for it.

    What Happened to Ridley Scott?

    Fair point. It's been ages since I watched that review. I just remember that out of nowhere dig at Prometheus in his Oblivion review last year and going- "Wait what?"

    What Happened to Ridley Scott?

    So Bob is saying Exodus is the worst film Scott has ever made? I find that hard to believe, as I hated The Counselor far more than anything he had made before that point. He's backpedaling and jumping on the hate bandwagon like he did with Man of Steel and Dark Knight Rises.

    Watch Star Wars Episode VII's First Official Trailer Right Here

    I honestly think this looks really damn good. And how long before we get a ranting MovieBob video where he picks apart every ngle detail and uses it as proof that J.J. Abrams is teh debbil?!?

    Escape to the Movies: Interstellar - Doesn't Live Up To Its Own Name

    I just got back from this, and wow, I loved it. Sure, it gets more than a little far-fetched by the end, but I was simply swept up by the film. The story, the set pieces, some of the characters, all really engaging for me. And I only really felt that there was too much exposition when Coop...

    The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2014: Clive Barker's Nightbreed

    Just gave the Director's Cut a watch last night, and it was pretty awesome. I'm not sure of all the differences, but the "to be continued" ending mentioned here wasn't included.

    The Big Picture: Dumbsday, Part 2 - The Reign of the Supermen

    And Sabrina the Teenage Witch is Cthulhu's bride. :D On topic: I've only read The Death of Superman arc, and I enjoyed it back then. I never got around to the other two trades, though, but I've been meaning to for ages, now.

    Movie Defense Force: Maniac Cop - A Cop That Kills People? CRAZY!

    The sarcasm in the review kind of annoyed me, but the movie itself was actually pretty darn good in my estimation. The sequels weren't bad, either, but I don't remember that much about the third.

    What Made Silent Hill 2 Great and Why the Devs Don't Get It

    Eh, I disagree with a lot of this. I liked the cult fine in the games it was used in, but its story is pretty much over by now. And besides, we already have SH2. We don't need another one. But then again, I actually like most of the games, and even the ones I'm not overly fond of, like 4 and...

    Escape to the Movies: Sin City: A Dame to Kill For - Bleeds Substance for Style

    I love the original movie. Sure it's style over substance, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing in my eyes, and I felt the first one pulled that off almost perfectly. The movie got me reading the comics, and now that I'm definitely "old enough to read them," I still appreciate the heck out of...

    Ninja Turtles: The Next (And No Longer The Worst) Mutation

    Actually, the idea of a female Ninja Turtle is kind of silly when you think about it. I mean, how ludicrous is it that there just so happened to be another mutant turtle from the same bowl that they never knew about or heard of? It's a gimmick, plain and simple. The proper way to go about it...

    The Big Picture: Turtle Power - The Older, Better TMNT Movie

    Yep, for what it is, the 1990 movie is kind of awesome. I'm still more than a little shocked at how well the actors could fight in those suits. I also have some love for Secret of the Ooze. Yeah, it's a lot cornier and sillier, but it was a mainstay of my very early childhood. But the movies...
