Can't say it's better than the Avengers though. That's a tough order to fill with Hulk and Iron Man in my opinion.

It had to be better than the first captain America that's one of those movies you turn off about halfway through it.
I took my daughter and younger son to see the Disney Bears movie. pretty entertaining movie if you're into wildlife and bears & shit .
pretty good I wouldn't pay Friday night prices to see it though...

I was curious how this movie was. I considered taking my daughter to go see it. I especially like that a portion of the proceeds go towards national parks
Finally watched Frozen. While I agree it's overhyped, it was a well-written story (same screenwriter did Wreck It Ralph, which is my favorite Disney movie of all time) and the song performances are amazing. That "Let's Build a Snowman" song gets me choked up every time, and reaffirms my belief that Kristen Bell is one of the most underrated actresses of our time.

Into the Wild
This is a true story about a kid (Christopher McCandless aka Alexander Supertramp) who graduates college (Emory) and then disappears into the great unknown to live freely and away from everything. Through flashbacks, you see and understand the life of his family - how he and his sister grew up witnessing the destructive acts of their parents and the process of divorce. It tore them up, but the siblings grew closer. However, once Chris graduates, he leaves his affluent family to live a life on the road, traveling west, up and down the coast, and eventually ending up in the backwoods of Alaska. His time spent there is learning, survival, humor, heart lifting and heart breaking. Though it's based on a true story (book to film) and I'm sure a lot of it is made up or assumed, this is a fantastic movie. It's a lesser known flick, but it's better than most everything else today. Highly recommend watching. Hell, even read the book if you're so inclined (though I probably won't). Solid 4.5 stars.
Even though she isn't the greatest actress in the world, Kristen Stewart is good for four stars. Hulk would smash.

good book and for some reason i liked Mcandliss less after seeing the movie. Sean Penn didnt liberal it up to much.. Just something about the movie made me feel he was selfish and the book made me feel like he was an adventurer...dont know why..
but for those of you going into the wild blue yonder a decent topographic map can can save your life!

I've only seen the 2nd half of that movie. I thought it was pretty good.

I was actually shocked at how much I enjoyed the movie despite the names involved. Sean Penn did a damn good job, but did put in some hippies - good ones, but still hippies. And when I heard Eddie Vedder's voice in the music, i thought, "oh poo, I don't like Pearl Jam or EV..." However, it wasn't that bad.

The Vince Vaughn character was pretty on target from what I expected from the book...
Copper Mountain (ski resort) plays that entire soudn track I think..
The book made reference that even though he was sick of "society" he was well known for being an entreprenuer who enjoyed hard work and was able to make money...the book tried to say he was more of a libertarian than a Liberal..
And if he really did canoe the entire Colorado River with 0 experience I have to give him some props for that..That had to have been cool as hell

I watched Despicable Me for the first time this weekend. I had already seen Despicable Me 2 but never saw the first one. I liked it.
I've been watching a lot of old stuff lately. I watched Heaven Can Wait (1978 with Warren Beatty). Entertaining movie.

Donnie Brasco
Another movie I finally got around to watching. One of the classic mafia type movies where you are drawn into sympathizing with the bad guys. Strange seeing Al Pacino as a "weak" mafia character, one who seems to work harder and longer than everyone else to come up short and not get upped. As this is based on a true story, I'm sure much of it is played up, but seeing how Johnny Depp's character changed throughout the movie, both in his career mindset and in his home life is horrible to imagine. Being an FBI undercover agent must be an exciting career, but it's one I sure as hell would not ever want to experience. The plot itself can be summarized as classic mafia meets Grand Theft Auto... nothing new. Solid acting, good plot. Four stars.
