‘Thor’ movie has its first trailer leak online

The newest Marvel film Thor made its trailer debut at the San Diego Comic Con recently…..and somehow the footage got leaked online for all to see.

For those who are crazy about the series, the leaking of the trailer would probably be similar to Christmas morning. To all others, it will be a good look at an action flick that is sure to be pretty amazing.

You can check out the leaked content here at Cinemablend.com, but hurry because it might not be on the internet forever!

Despicable Me: So Fluffy I’m Gonna Die!

I watched the pre-released clips for 22 minutes straight. Sent the trailer to two of my sisters and my brother. My boyfriend and I convinced his parents to take us to see it the opening weekend. And we laughed. Hard.
Despicable Me had me entertained from the very first previews, airing way in advance for its July 2010 release. Scenes depicting yellow-”Monsters INC”-like minions with high voices and shrieking, contagious laughs got me thinking this would be another worthwhile Pixar film. However, when I learned it was a Universal Film I’ll admit, I was impressed, but skeptical at what the outcome would be.
The plot followed a super-villain Gru, voice of Steve Carrell, who ends up adopting three little girls in order to achieve a master robbery. The little girls are probably the funniest part of the movie, especially the youngest, Agnes.

This clip explains everything and pretty much why I went and saw the film.

Although at the end of the movie, I didn’t feel how I did after “UP” or “Finding Nemo”, I had enjoyed the characters of Despicable Me.

5 Reasons Why Twilight Sucks

twilight-1I am a male. Maybe that’s why I just ‘don’t get it’ when it come to the Twilight Series. I watched the first one on a date because I didn’t know any better, and then ‘New Moon’ and ‘Eclipse’ because I lost a bet. Now, I’m sure the books are great, but at least from a cinematic perspective, the series sucks. Why?

1. Bad Acting
2. Lack of character development
3. Non-realistic relationships (and I’m not talking about the non-human kind)
4. Unbelievable characters

I can accept the New York Times putting the Twilight books on their Bestseller’s list, but what fact I can’t accept is each woman’s unhealthy obsession with such mediocre acting and cinematography.

Twilight-2Honestly, the characters are attractive, male and female alike, but none can act. There is nothing I can’t stand more than a movie franchise that is popular mainly for the looks of its actors, and not the depth of the plot. Go to any blog and what do you hear? I bunch of overly hormonal teenage girls talking about how much they’re in love with Jacob or Edward, NOT what is actually HAPPENING in the movie. I’m frustrated. I’m convinced if you just showed still images of each with their shirts off for 2 hours you’d still sell just as many tickets.

And yes, I guess I am speaking from a biased perspective, but I can’t stand how much in love so many women are in with Edward. In real life, if I had a girl obsess over me as much as Belle does with him, it’d freak me out. And for Jacob, if I had any friend who would hold on so hopelessly to a woman who doesn’t want him, I’d call him pathetic. Move on man. You’re attractive. I’m sure you can find someone with a little more personality than Belle anyways.

A combination of bad acting and a lack of real people that I can relate with makes the movies a total bomb. Please people, grow some brains and wake up to reality. Twilight isn’t THAT good.
