Week One Done

The first week of classes were actually pretty good, seeing as I didn't do anything. Every assignment was pretty much in-class, so I haven't accomplished much.  I do need to get some books and read, and spend time in the ol' library because of some stupid reference books. Other than that I've been catching up on some movies.

Fantastic Four 2 - 3 out of 5 It was too short to develop the characters (only about 90 minutes long). They didn't show galactus. In fact I think the way the plot unfolded was pretty dumb.  Of course I may be too close to the source material, but everything wraps up too neatly, just like with spider-man.

Spider-Man 3 - 3 out of 5 I constantly in flux about what I was going to give this while I was watching it because it got worse then better then ultimately horrible.  They put too much into the film.  Gwen Stacey should only play a big role or no role and since MJ was already with Peter then Gwen shouldn't have been in it.  Topher Grace was bad at Venom. Venom's voice was horrible, it should have been deep and evil. They should have cut out the amnesia part and developed the rest of the story. The end was wrapped up way too neatly, much too fairy tale.

28 Days Later and 28 Week Later - 3.7 out of 5 I do recommend these movies.  It takes a different spin on the zombie franchise with the rage virus. The first film is much more character oriented while the second is much more run and stay alive.  I do like how they opened it up to a sequel.

Sunshine - 5stars This is from the same writer director team of 28 Days Later.  This sci-fi film was great.  Our sun is dying so a team sets off to restart it.  It takes them months to get there. This is the second mission.  It sounds like it might be boring, but with the mounting tensions on the ship and the fact that they find the missing first mission, it is actually very well paced with good action. If you like Event Horizon or Solaris then check this out.
