This pretty much sums up how I feel about the Dark Knight movies:

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (to my heart).

I don’t understand the hubbub about The Dark Knight Rises trailer. It’s daylight all the time. Bane looks stupid. Everyone is mumbling. In contrast, this Hobbit trailer actually had me misty-eyed. Looks like they’ve done a perfect job recreating the look of the Lord of the Rings films. Maybe I’m just a different type of nerd.

“If I drive for you, you give me a time and a place. I give you a five-minute window, anything happens in that five minutes and I’m yours no matter what. I don’t sit in while you’re running it down; I don’t carry a gun… I drive.”

Super: The Best Little Movie of 2011

I recently wrote about the Top 10 Movies (That I had seen) of 2011. To refresh my memory on what came out this year I checked out Boxofficemojo.com’s Top 100 grossing movies. What I’ve now realized is that in doing so I have overlooked one of my favorite films that came out this year, James Gunn’s dark indie action comedy, Super! This movie is amazing. It’s what Kick-Ass would have been if it were more kick-ass. Don’t let the bright colors and the funny jokes fool you- this movie super dark and gory. I really don’t want to say too much more about this film because it’s a really fun ride. Just go on it!

GI Joe 2: Teaser Trailer

This looks much better than the first film. I could see this being a really cool movie franchise if they can get it closer to the original roots.

The Good:

The Rock as Roadblock works. Seems like he’s carrying the film now instead of the craptastic Duke played by that cross-eyed beefy dude.
Ray Stephenson as Firefly seems wicked cool.
Cobra Commander seems to have a proper helmet now.
Cool ninja action!
Snake Eyes doesn’t have lips!
Jinx looks good.
Zartan as the President taking over the White House = awesome!

The Bad:
No Destro or Baroness -WTF!? This is MAJOR bad.
No Scarlett, Hawk, Flint.
Maybe too much Rock.

The Ugly:
Bruce Willis cameo. As if this wasn’t already the Expendibles 2.

The producers knew the first movie sucked, so they seemed to kill off most of the characters from it. Hopefully the 2nd rung characters can hold their own. Also… Sgt. Slaughter should be in it.

Transformers: 4 - Revenge of the Dark of the Ocean. 

Oh look, Hasbro is making another movie based on a toy property they own! This time it’s the timeless classic Aliens vs. Battleship game we all remember loving as kids. Is there just a Michael Bay filter you can plug into Final Cut or something?
