Super Man: Man of Steel

Holy Moley!  This was by far one of the best Super Man's to every be on the big screen.  The revamp of the greatest super hero of our generation got a major make over.  Going into the movie I was ready for this, for those of you who aren't and want the golden boy of our youth are not going to be happy.  Zach Snyder did a great job of reinventing the Man of Steel.  As my friend said to me in a 30 minute bitch fest on why Super Man's new persona doesn't fit with the classic comics of our youth make him feel ashamed of having watched the movie.  My response was what do you expect from Chris Nolan.  He completely remade Tim Burton's Batman into something of an anti-superhero.
 
This Batman revamp did did not happen in limbo like Superman, several things we must understand why the Batman remake is excepted over Superman.  The first is like Superman, Batman had Cheesy good early shows that represented Truth, Justice and the American Way in both characters.  From these early days Batman's reinvention took a turn where Superman didn't.  The first is Tim Burton's who is dark and demented, but humorous.  Than came Frank Miller's Dark Horse Batman which allowed the fans to see the evolution of Batman to a dark brooding character a contrast from the first Detective Comics which Batman appeared. 
 
Super Man never did this.  Super Man has kept to the tried and true of his youths throughout the years.  This is by far the greatest reason for the general outrage of Super Man fans in this reinvention compared to Batman.  Knowing the new Super Man would be different, looking at the film as it's own entity I found this to be a great beginning to a 3 movie series.  Zach Snyder and Chris Nolan hit the marks in all the major areas with new and interesting ways to solve the Fortress of Solitude (20,000 year old space exploration shit from Krypton's Exploration Era) moving away from the crystal technology we have grown to love in the series.  It was nice to see a lot of Jor El and the fall of Krypton too.  The space ship that brought Superman to earth.  And the greatest of them is the decision to become a beacon of hope rather than a villain.  Throughout the movie they push this issue which leads to the biggest outrage of the movie many of you will struggle with the new identity and his determination.     

Parental Gudience.

This was a great classic retake of Uncle Buck with the wit and cleverness of Billy Crystal.  He may be old but he sure is by far still one of the funniest people alive.  A great movie and take on the ridiculousness of the modern family and how old school still may be the best school.

Killing Them Softly

A Political pile of shit that is more concerned about telling America's only desire in life is money and how stupid the coming generation is.  Not enough killing for a gangster movie.  Billing Brad Pitt was just a way for them to sell the movie because they knew how bad it is.  

Ganster Squad

Hell of a movie for the old school shot them up gangster films.  Ryan Gosling shouldn't of used that voice those.  Sean Penn as Marcon was awesome. 

Casa de mi Padres

  The House of my Father is Will Ferrell taking his weird comedy style to the limits.  It appears Will Ferrell is paying homage to Robert Rodriquez's El Mariachi.  Badly fake props and backgrounds you become slightly nostalgic of 70's Skinamax.  The problem is this brand of comedy isn't funny.  On the upside Genesis Rodriguez is smoking hot.  I can't tell if he is making fun of the Mexican film culture or celebrating it.  If you have a choice you could do a hell of a lot better.

**The only reason I didn't give it a 1 out of 5 is because he tried something new.

The Dark Night Rises

  Holy Shit! Great way to end the Trilogy.  If they plan on doing a remake in 30 years I don't know what they could do.

Lock Out

     Guy Pierce finally put on some weight and taken on the role of an ex-CIA Agent who is being set up for murder and Treason.  Now the world appears to be in a police state and we are able to house the most dangerous criminals in a space station were escape if futile.  The Problem is the Presidents Daughter just happens to be a bleeding heart she takes a visit to make sure the psychos are being treated fairly.  Well guess what the psychos escape take everyone hostage.  Did a good job of keeping the story going, the action wasn't awful and was a decent shoot them up movie.
