Worst Movie Lines Part 2

Here's another list of really dumb movie lines. Movie lines that really make you think if the people read the script before they made the movie. Lines that don't make any sense or are just really stupid. 

If you didn't get to see Part 1, I had the following lines:

X-Men: Storm: "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning...the same thing that happens to everything else. - Wow, just wow...

Titanic: Rose: "I'll never let go Jack, I'll never let go" - Now I know she's talking about holding him in her heart, but literally seconds later she drops him into the cold ocean...bye Jack..

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones: Anakin Skywalker: "I don't like sand. It's coarse and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth"  - One of the many very creepy and disturbing lines Anakin says in this movie...

The Fast and the Furious: Brian: "He knows I can box" - Brian, just shut up. No one likes you in this movie, everybody watching it is rooting for Dom. 

Transformers: John Keller: "Well we have one now" - Duh..why do you think they're telling you now...stupid...

Now Part 2:

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith: Padme: "Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo." - Yes...we all remember that creepy moment. And I'm pretty sure she didn't like it either at the time...

Catwoman: Catwoman "Guess what, it's overtime" - Halle Berry is really a bad actor when you think about it, either that or she just picks really dumb parts and doesn't read the script before hand...

Now Here's a whole bunch from the worst movie ever: Batman and Robin

Mr. Freeze: "Cool party", "Allow me to break the ice", "Lets kick some ice", "Everybody chill", "Tonight hell freezes over", "The iceman cometh", "Freeze well", "Stay cool, bird boy", "Tonight's forecast, a freeze is coming", "You're not sending me to the cooler", "What killed the dinosaurs, the ice age!"

Poison Ivy: "It's a jungle in here", No more monkey business", "Poly wanna kiss", "Sorry, my vines have a crush on you", "Then Gotham will be mine for the greening"

Batman: "We have less than 10 minutes to thaw the city", "Seven million, never leave the cave without it", "No he's just hibernating"

Robin: "It's a utility belt, not a money belt", "It's Batman and Robin, not Robin and Batman", "I want a car, chicks dig the car", "I'm going solo", "So this is where you hang out", "Just the beast", "Rubber lips are immune to your charms"

Wow that movie is just so horribly bad...and here's a video from one of my favorite YouTube Channels: Screen Junkies/Honest Trailers:

Batman Vs. Superman

It's been a while since I've been on here, to all of you who read my blog, I apologize.

Man of Steel just got released on Blu-Ray/DVD on Tuesday, I think now is a good time to get a closer look at the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman movie which will hit theaters in the summer of 2015.

I am really looking forward to seeing this movie. I know all the hate going towards it because of Ben Affleck playing Batman, but I've made my peace with that and moved past it. I don't care who is playing Batman. He's going to be in an upcoming movie along side Superman. What is more awesome than that?

To all the people who still see Affleck as a bad idea, remember Heath Ledger. He played the Joker in The Dark Knight. That casting call got twice as much negativity than Affleck as Batman and Ledger was probably the best Joker I have ever seen. Christopher Nolan is still involved with Batman Vs. Superman too, not directing it, but producing it. So there is always hope.

The rumor mill has been buzzing recently involving cameos in Batman Vs. Superman. Wonder Woman, Nightwing, Lex Luthor, The Flash, etc.. Only one has been confirmed: Lex Luthor. The actor playing him, however, has not been confirmed. At first Mark Strong was to play Superman's nemesis, but those rumors were shot down. Then it was Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston. Those rumors were also shot down. Now, the current rumor is Lost's Terry O'Quinn will play Lex Luthor. Making Lex a much older man since O'Quinn is almost 70.

Personally, I would much rather see a younger Lex Luthor. Not twenties, but in the thirties range. I would like to see Smallville's Lex Luthor, Michael Rosenbaum take the part. He's younger and he played a great Lex Luthor.

Things I can't wait to see in this movie:
The new Batmobile. In recent rumors, it has been said that The Batmobile will resemble an old Cadillac. Sounds good to me.
The new Batsuit. There has been a ton of concept art and fan art released around so far. But I read recently that they have made it and they said it looks awesome. Unfortunately, I have not seen it yet, still excited to.
Batman's gadgets. The batarang, grappling hook, etc.. The batarang, especially. Since it was not in the Dark Knight Trilogy and that still upsets me a little.
How will Batman match Superman. Kryptonite didn't exist in Man of Steel, so I'm curious of how this will work out.

Batman Vs. Superman is just a working title, I'm hoping they will change it. Obviously, they will fight each other at first then combine forces against a greater enemy, but I hope they change it to something else that sounds cooler.

Following the release of Batman Vs. Superman will come The Flash in 2016 and the long awaited Justice League in 2017.

Perfect Batman

I wrote an article a few days ago about who I wanted to play Batman, but I overlooked the perfect person for the part.

Fassbender, Evans, and all those guys are great actors and would all play Batman well, but the best actor to play Batman is:

Jim Caviezel.

He's older than most of the Bruce Wayne/Batman(s), but that's actually a good thing. Since the movie is going to be Batman Vs. Superman. Obviously they are going to fight at first and then team up. Batman and Superman are best friends in the comics, Bruce Wayne is going to have to help guide Superman into the hero he is supposed to be. So it would make a lot more sense to have an older Bruce Wayne to help guide Clark Kent to that point. It would be pretty unrealistic to have some young Bruce Wayne giving Clark Kent all these guidelines and advice if he is only a young person himself with no experience.

He is currently starring in the TV series Person of Interest, written by Jonathan Nolan. The brother of Christopher Nolan, the producer of Man of Steel. If you've ever seen the show, you'd notice that there are a lot of similarities to the Batman story comic book line. Caviezel plays a cop named Reese. He takes on different identities to solve crimes, just like Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman. He's not afraid to use guns, but he prefers to shoot down his enemies in the knee. But the biggest thing is how Caviezel fights in the show. He fights a lot like Batman. He uses everything he has at his disposal. He is an ex CIA so he has gadgets and weaponry like The Dark Knight.  

Jim Caviezel is the perfect fit for Batman.

Worst Rumors Ever!

So yesterday and today I keep seeing these disturbing rumors for Star Wars Episode VII. It's so disturbing that if they go with these rumors and they become true, Star Wars will suck.

First. Casting rumors. Two not the greatest actors. 1 horrible one in my opinion and one eh one who doesn't belong in Star Wars. Technically, neither of them do. So the latest rumors are that Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron are going to play Han and Luke's kids in Star Wars. Horrible idea. They are on the right track with the age thing, but please oh please not these actors! Ryan Gosling is a bad actor. He hasn't been in anything good ever. And for Efron, he's a Disney actor. This is the only reason I've had doubts about his movie in the first place, Disney. Disney always has to do something stupid. Like casting, especially.

I have a feeling this is going to be a let down movie. Kinda like Episodes 1-3. Horrible casting. Yeah, the special effects were awesome, but the acting sucked. That's why I will always prefer the original three. Awesome acting. The special effects didn't matter, the actors were awesome.

What happened to Jonathan Rhyes Myers? I thought he was going to be in this movie. What happened to the whole, J.J. Abrams knows him because of MI3, so where is he?

Second bad thing. Rumors of Director J.J. Abrams leaving Star Wars. It was hard enough to try to find a director in the first place, please don't leave. If he leaves, they'll probably get some sucky director and it will be a total flop.

Disney, please don't cast bad actors. Cast good ones like the original three movies. Combine that with great special effects. Best movies ever. But if you cast bad actors, that's not going to happen. Listen to Slim Tim.

Goosebumps Scenes: "My Sons Were Better Men"



This is my all time favorite movie. This whole scene is awesome, but at around 6:10 it gets really awesome.

Goosebumps Scenes: "Fire Everything!"



The most goosebumping part is when the Enterprise comes out of nowhere and destroys all the incoming torpedoes.

Who Will Play Batman?

Now that there is an upcoming Batman/Superman movie. Who will play The Dark Knight?

As you can probably guess, there have been tons of rumors and suggestions flying around. A lot of which I can't see happening or if they do, I'd be disappointed. Batman can't be too comical, he has to be serious. Especially to fit into the Man of Steel universe.

My top picks for Batman would be:

Michael Fassbender: He would be an awesome Batman. He already is an awesome Magneto for Marvel. He can pull off Bruce Wayne and he wouldn't have to make up a voice for Batman, he already has an awesome voice.

Benedict Cumberbatch: Also has an awesome Batman like voice. Plus he has the Bruce Wayne look. He was awesome in Star Trek Into Darkness. He would be a good choice for Batman.

Josh Halloway: Halloway isn't as a known actor as the rest of my list, but he was in Lost and he was in Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol.

Luke Evans: Luke Evans is probably one of my favorite upcoming actors. He can play tons of different kinds of characters. He's played the villain in Fast 6, he was Zeus in Immortals, he was Apollo in Clash of the Titans, he was Aramis in Three Musketeers, he's going to be Bard in The Hobbit, and he's going to be Dracula. I can picture him playing Batman/Bruce Wayne too.

Jeremy Renner: Another one of my favorite upcoming actors. He's been in The Bourne Legacy, Mission Impossible, The Avengers, the Hurt Locker, The Town, and Hansel and Gretel. I can see his Bourne Legacy and Avengers roles becoming a Batman.  

Karl Urban: Urban would be a good Batman as well. Coming from his parts in different movies such as Dredd, The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Riddick, and the upcoming TV series Almost Human. He's already proved to be awesome wearing a mask in Dredd, he's already got the dark hair to be Bruce Wayne. He hasn't really been in any Bruce Wayne type parts that I can think of, but he's a good actor he could pull it off.

Who do you think will play Batman in the upcoming Batman/Superman movie? Leave your thoughts below.


Marvel: Vin Diesel

A few weeks ago, Vin Diesel reported that he has been in meetings with Marvel for an upcoming movie. Now as for what movie and who he will be playing, no one knows. In a recent picture of Vin Diesel, he is standing in front of a Giant Man poster. Giant Man a.k.a. Ant Man. So will Vin Diesel be playing the Avenger, Ant Man?

A few days ago, he also revealed in an interview. That his Marvel character would have almost the same kind of love relationship as his Dom and Letty in the Fast and the Furious movies. So I don't know who that could be at all, but when I first heard that Vin Diesel was going to be in a Marvel movie I got excited. The first couple of heroes that popped into my head were the following:

Ant Man: Mainly because he was standing in front of the Ant Man poster, but I could see him playing Ant Man. He could really make him a lot cooler and he already is. Imagine a big buff Ant Man. That would be cool.

Luke Cage: Yes, I know Luke Cage is black. But why can't he be white? They've changed so many superheroes' everything already, so why not make Luke Cage white? Diesel would be the perfect fit for Luke Cage. He's already big and strong, so he wouldn't have to work out for the part.

Vision: Vision is an android. But the whole "Dom and Letty thing" would make sense for Vision. Vision's love interest is Scarlet Witch. Scarlet Witch is Quicksilver's brother, since Quicksilver has already been confirmed for Avengers: Age of Ultron. I'm just guessing here, but Scarlet Witch might make an appearance too. Plus Vision is an Avenger, so I could see that happening.

Black Panther: Yes, I know he is also black. But again, why can't he be white? There are white Africans. So he could definitely pull off being Black Panther. Think of how cool he would be, just picture: Black Panther's awesome costume and put Vin Diesel's voice into it. Awesome right? Yeah.

The Thing: There is an upcoming Fantastic Four reboot happening. Will Diesel be The Thing? Like I said before, he's already got the muscle.

Daredevil: I could see him playing Daredevil. His "Dom and Letty" with Electra. That makes sense. I could honestly see him playing Daredevil for one outstanding reason: Riddick. Riddick isn't blind, but he can see in the dark. Daredevil is blind, but he's a cool hero. I could see Diesel making him even cooler.

Who do you think Vin Diesel will be in an upcoming Marvel movie? Leave your comments below.

Goosebumps Scenes: "You die!"

Comic Book Movie News

This has to be the biggest news I've heard since I heard about Star Wars Episode 7.

First off, Marvel's news:

Marvel's The Avengers 2 is called The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Ultron is a robot in the newer comic books. Ultron was created by Hank Pymn aka Ant Man. So I'm just guessing here, but since it's called Age of Ultron. Ant Man will make an appearance. Also more Avengers news is that Aaron Taylor Johnson (Kick Ass) is going to be playing Quicksilver. Quicksilver is originally a mutant from X-Men. He's actually the son of Magneto. He has super speed, so he's pretty much 'The Flash' of Marvel.

Now, DC's news:

The Man of Steel sequel will not only feature Superman, but also...wait for it...Batman! Oh yeah! Best news ever. Superman/Batman team up in a movie. These were also the best comic book story lines ever too. So the release date for the Superman/Batman movie is 2015. I am not actually sure if this the next sequel to Man of Steel, it is a sequel to Man of Steel, but according to Henry Cavil (Superman) there's going to be a Man of Steel 2. A different movie than the Superman/Batman movie. It's also been said that it is already being written for release next year.

Also, The Flash movie has a set release date for 2016 and The Justice League is set for 2017. Finally, DC movies are coming and going to be awesome! '

I love both DC and Marvel, but I probably like DC more for one major reason. It's more serious. Even in the comics. Marvel has always been more relaxed and humorous. DC has always been more serious, which makes more sense because if superheroes existed in the world today that is how they would have to be.

Some other news regarding The Avengers. Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Andrew Garfield (Spiderman) have both expressed interest in having their characters join The Avengers. So hopefully, this will happen in Avengers 3? Keep your fingers crossed, because that movie would be the most awesome movie ever!

Upcoming Comic Book Movies:

The Wolverine (July 26, 2013)
Thor: The Dark World (November 8, 2013)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 4, 2014)
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (May 2, 2014)
X-Men: Days of Future Past (May 23, 2014)
Guardians of the Galaxy (August 1, 2014)

Box Office Failure

Pacific Rim. When I first heard about this movie, I thought it looked really stupid. It was like Transformers meets Godzilla. It looked dumb. To make it worse, it's a Guillermo Del Toro movie.

Honestly, I have never seen a good Del Toro movie. None. There are two reasons to why his movies suck. 1, He always, always, always casts the worst actor in the world in all his movies, Ron Perlman. Ron Perlman has litterally been in all of his movies. It's pathetic. He's worse than horrible. Check it out, most of the Del Toro movies star Perlman and I'd like to point out that all of these movies suck.

Pacific Rim: Obviously, this what we are talking about, but he played Hannibal Chau. Seriously, he was supposed to be what, Chinese?

Hellboy: He played Hellboy. The main character, first mistake and the last. This movie sucked.

Hellboy 2: Again, he played Hellboy. And this movie, I don't know how, but it was worse than the first one.

Cronos: I have never seen this movie. It was Del Toro's first movie, but I'm sure it was horrible.

These are just some other horrible movies because of Ron Perlman:

Conan The Barbarian: The horrible remake of the original Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.

Drive: Just a stupid movie, period. Ryan Gosling didn't help.

Season of the Witch: This movie would have been cool, if Perlman wasn't in it. Nicolas Cage as a crusader hunting down a witch, it had a good plot.

In the Name of the King: This movie sucked. Jason Statham in one of his worst moments.

There was only one movie that I've seen Perlman in that wasn't too bad, only because he had a very very small part. Star Trek: Nemesis.

The 2nd thing about Del Toro is he always has the dumbest plots for his movies. Come on, giant robots fighting against giant monsters? Really? And he thought he was going to make big on that? Epic Fail.

Games That Should Be Movies

Instead of making ten thousand sequels to movies that don't need them like Taken. Do you know they're planning on making a Taken 3? Yeah, stupid right. I remember when Taken came out, it was awesome. It had that epic atmosphere to it. Especially that line that Liam Neeson says "I will find you and I will kill you". Man, that gave me goosebumps all over. But then they ruined it by making Taken 2. Seriously how many times can someone from his family get kidnapped?

So instead of making pointless sequels, film makers should start looking into making movies from video games. I know they've made some and are planning on others. Unfortunately there were a few failures like Doom. Yeah, that movie sucked. The game wasn't even all that great. But there have been a few good movies based off games like Prince of Persia and Resident Evil.

There is one coming out that I am very excited for: Assassins Creed. If you haven't ever played any of the Assassins Creed games, you should. They're awesome. But the Assassins Creed movie is coming out in 2015 of course because everything else is too. There really hasn't been any information about the movie except that Michael Fassbender is going to be playing Desmond Miles/Altair. Which is awesome. Fassbender is a great actor and I can see him playing Altair really well.

Another one coming out is Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. If you've never played the Ghost Recon games, they are also awesome. I am not sure who is going to be in it, all I know is that Michael Bay is directing it. So you can probably expect a lot of explosions. But it should be awesome.

Now for the games that should be turned into movies, I have a few I would really like to see:

Uncharted. Uncharted is kinda a lot like Indiana Jones. The story follows Nathan Drake a decedent of Sir Francis Drake. He's a treasure hunter who believes he has learned the location of El Dorado, the city of gold. But things become complicated when a rival hunter joins in the search.  There have been three games so far.  There has been a lot of talk about making an Uncharted movie. There was actually some talk about Mark Wahlberg starring as Drake, but the project was shut down. I actually heard the other day that Naughty Dog, the company that made the Uncharted games, has asked Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to make it numerous times, but they kept refusing because it's too much like Indiana Jones.

Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption is a western game and probably the best I've ever played. The game follows John Marston, a former outlaw who gets blackmailed by the government to hunt down his former partners in crime. They should really make this into a movie, especially with the lack of good western movies nowadays.

Mass Effect. Mass Effect is a futuristic game. The game follows Commander Shepard who must stop a plot to exterminate humanity throughout the galaxy. Think of how the Star Trek and Star Wars universes are. That's pretty much how the Mass Effect universe is. Tons of different planets with different species of aliens. There have also been three Mass Effect games so far. They could easily make a Trilogy out of these movies or even go father. Obviously it will never beat Star Wars nor Star Trek, but it would be cool to have another successful sci-fi universe.

Halo. Halo follows super-soldier John-117, Master Chief. He must battle a genocidal alien race known as the Covenant following his violent crash-landing on Halo, an ancient and mysterious ring-world. There are a lot of Halo games. This is another game they should really make into movies. More sci-fi, just like with Mass Effect, they could turn Halo into a lot of movies. Awesome movies.

Gears of War. Gears of War follows Marcus Fenix in Mankind's epic struggle for survival against the Locust, a nightmareish race of creatures. The games are extremely bloody and I wouldn't expect any less from a movie. The games are pretty awesome, although the first one is probably the best in my opinion.

Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Skyrim is probably one of the best games I've ever played. It's like a combination of Lord of the Rings and pretty much every other awesome medieval fantasy movie. A lot of stuff happens in this game so I'll just give a small summery. The game follows the Dragonborn, a hero born with the power of The Voice and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons and the only one who can kill dragons. The game takes place in Skyrim during a civil war between the Empire and a rebel force called the Stormcloaks. While this civil war is happening, Dragons have returned to Skyrim. It's a ridiculously awesome game. Everyone should play this game.

Far Cry 3. I will admit, I never played the first two Far Cry games, but Far Cry 3 is awesome. The game follows Jason Brody who skydives with his brothers and friends on vacation. Things don't turn out as planned, especially when they are captured by an insane warlord named Vaas. And they are expected to be sold into slavery. But when Jason escapes, he begins to journey into the heart of insanity on a quest for revenge and devotion to save his friends and end the war that enslaves the citizens. It's a really cool game. Definitely has movie potential.

There are a few other games I would like to see, but they'd be tricky. Like Bioshock, The Legends of Zelda, and Castlevania. But all three would be awesome movies too as long as they make them correctly.

Is The Rock Ruining Movies?

Dwayne The Rock Johnson. He has been in way too many movies recently. Especially The Fast and the Furious movies. 

It was okay for him to be in Fast Five, but why was he in Fast Six and upcoming Fast Seven? He isn't an important character. He's a cop. Dom and Brian and the rest of them are criminals. So why do they keep helping Hobbs?

He was also in G.I. Joe 2. Why? That movie was kinda dumb anyway. Why did they kill off Duke? He's the main character! Take it that the first movie pretty much sucked too and the only reason they're kind of cool is because of Snake Eyes. 

The only movie I actually want Dwayne Johnson in is an Expendables sequel. Vin Diesel needs a part in one too. 

But seriously, people stop casting Dwayne Johnson in everything. He's not even a very good actor. He's just big.

Who Will Be Lex Luthor?

Many rumors have been thrown around since the Man of Steel debuted, who will play Lex Luthor? Obviously they're going to have him eventually, hence all the "Lex Corp" stuff in Man of Steel. 

Most recent news is that Mark Strong is in talks to play Superman's arch nemesis. You may remember Mark Strong played Lord Blackwood in Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. He is a great actor and he could play Lex very well.

Hopefully, they will show Lex Luthor how he was meant to be like in the comics, not as he was shown in the previous Superman movies. Lex is a billionaire genius enemy to Superman. In previous Superman movies he has been too corny and comedic. He wasn't serious enough and what was up with him wearing a wig? Lex isn't ashamed of his baldness. 

A perfect example of Lex Luthor being awesome as he should be shown in Man of Steel 2 is how he was played in Smallville. One good sign that they are going in the right direction is "Lex Corp". Since they've already put that out there, he will obviously have his company play a big part in his life in Man of Steel 2.

Plus Mark Strong is familiar with DC Comics already having played Sinestro in Green Lantern. It hasn't been confirmed, but since Green Lantern didn't do as well as everyone hoped it's not going to be leading up to The Justice League. So unfortunately, Ryan Reynolds wont be playing Green Lantern.

As for suggestions for other actors to play Lex. I really don't have any. But a few people have thrown out a few names:

Guy Pearce. I could actually see him playing Lex pretty good. Since his role in Iron Man 3 as Aldrich Killian, he proved to be a good villain. Plus, he can pull off the baldness, which he also proved in Seeking Justice. So I see how he would be a good choice. 

Jason Isaacs. He plays a great villain, but I don't think he's the right type of villain for Lex Luthor. His roles in The Patriot and Harry Potter are magnificent, both of those characters were evil, but they had a different kind of evil compared to Lex Luthor. You can never tell when it comes to actors, he could be the perfect fit for Lex.

Tom Hardy. As long as he isn't all buffed out, he could be a good Lex. He sorta reminds me of Michael Rossenbaum as Smallville's Lex. If you remember, Star Trek Nemesis. He played Shinzon. If he has more of that look than his Bane look, he could be a good Lex. His Bane wont have an effect on Man of Steel 2, because they've already confirmed that The Dark Knight Trilogy wont be apart of the Justice League and since Man of Steel is, he could easily take the part. Plus, he's practically bald in everything he's in, so he already has that going for him.

Since I do not know who will be playing Lex Luthor, I am excited to find out who will be taking his role.

Worst Movie Lines Ever

Don't you hate it when you're watching an awesome movie and there's the dumbest line ever in it. You're like, "Come on! You people make a billion dollar box office hit, but you have the stupidest movie line ever in it." There are a lot of movies like that, unfortunately. Here are some:

X-Men: Storm: "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else." - Wow... Is there really a need to state the obvious?

Titanic: Rose DeWitt Bukater: "I'll never let go Jack, I'll never let go" - Literally minutes later, she drops him into the cold ocean...


Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones: Anakin Skywalker: "I don't like sand. It's coarse and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth" - One of the very many creepy lines Anakin has in this movie. 


The Fast and the Furious: Brian: "He knows I can box" - Okay. No one cares. 


Transformers: Defense Secretary John Keller: "Well we have one now" - That's why they're showing you now, stupid. 


Batman and Robin: Every Single Quote Everyone Says, Especially Mr. Freeze.



These are my top hated lines, but if you can think of any more, please leave them in the comments below.

What Ever Happened To Video Games?

Remember in the old days when you could play a game and unlock new characters, new maps, new costumes, etc.. I miss those days.

Now, you can't do that. Everything, is a DLC and you always have to buy it. So you have to pay extra for things that should already be in the game. 

I recently played Playstation All-Stars (a copy off Smash Bros.) and I was expected to unlock characters after beating the single player with my character, but no. Didn't happen, I didn't get anything. Nothing. Not even a alternate costume for my character. I figured it was like Smash Bros., after beating the single player with a character you would unlock a character or a new stage. It's not. Nothing is anymore. Every game I have, there are DLCs that I have to buy to unlock more stuff. To put it bluntly, it's stupid.

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I bought Injustice: God's Among Us. It's the same thing. No unlockable characters, BUT WAIT! There's a DLC coming out soon! So after buying this game, now the only way I'm going to get more characters is by buying a $15 DLC, so to add that onto the already $60, so I'd be paying $75 dollars for a game that honestly isn't even that good. 

When buying a game for $60 bucks, it better have unlockable stuff in it. If they want to keep making DLCs, they should decrease the prices of the games to like $40 then tell you that you can buy a $20 DLC if you want to. That seems reasonable to me.

Harry Potter: What You Missed In The Movies

A lot of people didn't first read the Harry Potter books before watching the movies. But if you just watch the movies and don't read the books, you're missing out on a lot. Because there are parts in the movies that don't make any sense unless you read the books. Plus there are so many important things in the books that they didn't show or explain in the movies that they should have.

Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone: Probably the closest to the book. Why? Mainly because it's the shortest book.

1st. In the book there is a Quidditch game between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff that wasn't in the movie. Why is it important? Snape referees the game. Which puts more suspicion on him so Harry catches the snitch in less than five minutes breaking the record for catching the snitch the fastest. But later they realize that Snape refereed the game to keep on eye on Harry and to protect him if Quirell tried to harm him again.

2nd. Remember when Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Malfoy got detentions? They had to go into the Dark Forest with Hagrid to find the unicorn. Well it happened, but not the way they showed it. They didn't get in trouble for being at Hagrid's. Harry and Hermione used the Invisibility Cloak to carry Norbert the dragon up to the Astronomy tower to give it to Ron's brother Charlie's friends who were going to carry him back to Romania. Malfoy caught wind of their plan and went up to the tower to catch them, but he got caught by Professor McGonagall and after the dragon was gone, Harry and Hermione forgot to put the cloak back on and were caught by Filtch and instead of Ron being at the detention with them, it was actually Neville.

3rd. When they realized what they needed to do to get past Fluffy they went up to the third floor and saw the harp playing by itself. Well, there was a harp, but it wasn't playing. Harry had gotten a wooden flute from Hagrid for Christmas and he played the flute to Fluffy.

Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets: This book also didn't have much difference in it either, also because it was a shorter book.

1st. Hermione doesn't know what a Mudblood is. Ron has to explain it to her while he is throwing up slugs after his broken wand backfired.

2nd. They skipped a semi important part in the movie. Harry finds out that Filtch is a Squib. Which is someone who can't do magic.

Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Askaban: There is a lot missing in the movies from this book on.

1st. He flew his firebolt against Slytherin and won the Quidditch Cup. Although his firebolt was confiscated by McGonagall because she believed it was given to Harry by Sirius (this was before he learned the truth).

2nd. It takes more than one lesson for Harry to learn the Patronis. It takes him weeks.

3rd. Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. Who are they? The movie doesn't explain. So I'll tell you. Moony is Remus Lupin. Moony was his nickname because he was a werewolf. Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew. Padfoot is Sirius Black. Prongs is James Potter. Pettigrew, Black, and Potter became Animagi to help Lupin when he was a werewolf. And the four of them became the Marauders and created the map.

Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire:

1st. If you were wondering how Harry arrived at the Weasley's Burrow, it wouldn't be a dumb question. Since they didn't explain it in the movie. The Weasleys used floo powder to get to the Dursley's house, but the Dursley's had an electric fireplace so it didn't work as well as they hoped and it caused a lot of damage to the Dursley's living room.

2nd. Harry and the Weasleys are in the Minister's box with the Malfoys.

3rd. Charlie Weasley was supposed to be with the dragons when they arrived. There was a mention of it, but they never showed him

4th. Rita Skeeter is more nosy than you think. She is an Animagi who can turn into a beetle. So she pretty much gets the scoop on everything.

5th. Harry's dragon wasn't chained down, it was a nesting mother. Thus the egg it was guarding. Plus he doesn't fight it off at the castle, he beats it in the arena.

6th. If you're wondering where Cho Chang and Cedric Diggory came from, they are both Quidditch Seekers. Cho for Ravenclaw and Cedric for Hufflepuff.

7th. Dobby and Winky. Two house elves who play an important roles in the book. It's Dobby who gives Harry the Gillyweed, not Neville. Plus Hermione's SPEW. Spew is an organization that Hermione creates to get house elves proper rights.

Harry Potter And The Order of the Phoenix: 

1st. Ron is a prefect and he got it over Harry.

2nd. Harry doesn't play the first Quidditch game, which isn't even in the movie, but Ron plays Keeper. This is also why he joins the team in The Half Blood Prince. But in Order of the Phoenix he isn't very good.

3rd. Cho Chang didn't betray Harry. They did break up, but not the way it happened in the movie. Hermione uses a curse on her friend, who did betray them, and Cho obviously sides with her friend and Harry sides with Hermione. Which ends Harry and Cho's relationship.

4th. After Arthur Weasley is attacked by the snake, Harry, Ron, and Hermione visit him at St. Mungo's hospital. Where they run into Gilderoy Lockhart who has been there ever since his Memory Charm backfired. And they also run into Neville who is there visiting his parents.

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince: The name of the movie is The Half-Blood Prince, but they never explain what that means.

1st. You know that Snape is the Half-Blood Prince, but what the Half-Blood Prince. Well, Snape's mother was a pure blood named Eileen Prince and he had a muggle father.

2nd. After Harry uses the spell, Sectumsempra, against Malfoy in the bathroom. Snape gives him detentions every week for the rest of the year. So he doesn't play in the game when Gryffindor wins the Quidditch Cup.

3rd. Katie Bell is much older than she appears. She may look like a 5th or 6th year, but she is actually a 7th year.

4th. Cormac McLaggen is a very bad Quidditch player teammate and he is a know-it-all about Quidditch. Because he is such a bad teammate, he ends up taking Harry out with a Bludger in the second game of the year.

5th. Harry breaks up with Ginny because he won't be coming back to Hogwarts next year and Ginny can't come with him. They also weren't dating in secret. He kissed her in front of everyone after Gryfiindor won the Cup, because Ginny played Seeker because Harry was in detention.

6th. After Snape kills Dumbledore, Harry doesn't just chase Snape out of the castle. He and the rest of the school battles him and the deatheaters through the castle and out onto the grounds where Snape reveals that he is The Half-Blood Prince. None of his friends got hurt after the battle, but Bill Weasley got attacked by werewolf, thus his scars in The Deathly Hallows.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: They made this book into a two part movie and still didn't explain anything.

1st. After Harry breaks up with Ginny, he kisses her at the Burrow. Apparently because there is still some feelings there, but Ron gets mad at him because he thinks Harry is leading her on.

2nd. At the wedding, Harry looks like himself in the movie, but in the book he takes Polyjucice Potion to like a redheaded kid and is passed off as a Weasley cousin.

3rd. After Tonks becomes pregnant, Lupin wants to abandon her because he thinks the child will become a werewolf. Then at Shell Cottage, the new HQ, Lupin visits Harry and tells him its a boy and asks him to be godfather.

4th. Harry uses the Elder Wand to repair his wand and he doesn't snap the wand in half, he returns it to Dumbledore's grave.

5th. After Harry saves Dudley's life in the fifth book, Dudley realizes the error of his ways. Before the Dursley's leave the house in the last book, Harry and Dudley shake hands.

6th. The two way mirror. Sirius and James had two mirrors, Sirius gave James' to Harry and after Sirius died  and after Fletcher raided his house he sold his mirror to Aberforth Dumbledore.

The Deathly Hallows. Barely at all described in the movie, they might as well just called the movie "Harry Potter And The Hocruxes". If you want to find out about the Deathly Hallows, I suggest reading the book.

Just some extra things that the movies didn't show:

1st. In the last movie, first part. Lupin suspects there is a traitor among them. And he asks Harry what was in the corner of his office the first time he entered it. The answer was a Grindylow. Which they never showed nor mentioned in the third movie, but it was in the book.

2nd. The fate of Peter Pettigrew. When Harry and Ron were imprisoned in Malfoy Manor, they escaped. Pettigrew hesitated and didn't try and stop them, because Harry reminded him that he spared his life in the third book. So because he hesitated, his silver hand he got from Voldemort turned on him and killed him.

3rd. Peeves the Protagonist. Peeves is a trouble making ghost who was never mentioned in any of the movies. Filtch hated Peeves more than anything because Peeves would always make a mess.

4th. Professor Binns. The only ghost professor at Hogwarts. He died in his sleep and without realizing he died, he got up the next morning to teach. He teaches the History of Magic. He is also the one who told Hermione about the Chamber of Secrets, not McGonagall.

5th. The movies make Ron out to be an awkward third wheel, but in the books he was much smarter than that. Out of the three of them, he knew the most about magic. Hermione had her book smarts, yes, but Ron was the only one from a magical family.

6th. Harry and Ginny are supposed to be soul mates. In the movie The Half-Blood Prince, they kiss for the first time and it's awful. I think Harry and Dobby had more chemistry on the beach.

Things they didn't explain or show after the end of the last movie:

1st. Harry's kids names. His eldest son, James Sirius Potter. His middle son, Albus Severus Potter. His youngest daughter, Lily Luna Potter.

2nd. Neville. Neville becomes a Herbology Professor at Hogwarts and sadly does not end up with Luna.

The Man of Steel: Rumors or Spoilers?

I'm sure you are all aware of the upcoming Man of Steel starring Henry Cavil as Superman and being directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan. It wasn't a surprise to me that there would be tons of rumors floating around, it's typical of any Nolan film. I can remember all the rumors surrounding The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. Everyone thought The Riddler would be in both at one point, talk of Johnny Depp and Eddie Murphy playing the part came up a few times.

The rumors surrounding The Man of Steel are the same, but recently those rumors have become true.

SPOILER ALERT

Mackenzie Gray who played a Lex Luthor clone in Smallville (the old one who died) is apparently going to be playing the real Lex Luthor in Man of Steel.

I was very happy to hear about this, when the movie first started casting actors the name Lex Luthor wasn't ever mentioned. I was unhappy about that, Lex is Superman's nemesis. It wouldn't be the same if he wasn't in it.

There's has also been talk of an after credits scene. I'm not sure of what it could be, maybe a hint to the Justice League? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

The Man of Steel hits theaters June 14

7 Things Wrong With The Star Wars Prequels

With Star Wars Episode VII coming in a few years, there are a few things that they shouldn't do that they did with the prequels. If they want success, copy the notes from the sequels.

The prequels were horrible compared to the sequels. When you think of Star Wars what's the first thing(s) that pop into your head? For me it's Darth Vader, Han, Leia, and Luke. The first thing you think of isn't Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon or even Anakin. The original three Star Wars movies stand out more so than the prequels because they were more epic for their time. Think about it, the 70s and 80s. Star Wars was huge, epic space battles and lightsabers for the first time ever. Then there are the prequels. Episode I doesn't really count, because that movie was just so bad to begin with and I will get more into that later, but Episode II came out in 2002. Hard to believe isn't it? 2002, the same year that Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers came out. Lord of the Rings definitely destroyed Attack of the Clones with pure epicness.

Episode VII cannot make the same mistakes as the prequels.

This is a list of things that made the prequels not as good as the sequels.

#1. Too Much Focus On Special Effects
It was obvious, they had new technology to make things look cooler, but don't Michael Bay it. Explosions look cool, but too many looks like you were bored and just added random explosions. There has to be a balance, Episode I didn't have enough of anything. Episode II had too much. Episode III was ok with the special effects, actually Episode III was probably the best of the three. Still no where near as good as IV-VI but, still decent.

#2. Actors Not In Their Prime
It wasn't pretty for Samuel L. Jackson, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, or Hayden Christenen (still isn't). There were only a few actors who did a good job only because they have been good actors their entire life: Liam Neeson and Christopher Lee. But as for the rest, it wasn't a job well done. The worst scenes would probably have to be the scenes with Padme and Anakin. Horrible, horrible, shoot me now. You could barely tell that they were in love, the only reason you knew they would is because of the sequels. Between Anakin's creepy back rubbing thing to Padme's talking about her random crush. I seriously felt like I was watching Star Wars Episode II: The Return to High School.

#3. A Comic Relief That Wasn't Comic
Jar Jar Binks, perhaps one of the most pointless characters in Star Wars. I'm guessing he was supposed to be the comic relief, but he didn't prove himself, hence his small part in the next two movies. The sequels had Han. A main character with a sense of humor. With all the seriousness of the prequels, it didn't even seem like I was watching a movie for enjoyment.

#4. Took Way Too Long To Get To The Point
Did you realize that it took about a half an hour to just see Anakin (the main character and main purpose of Star Wars) in the Phantom Menace? So the main character wasn't Anakin in the Phantom Menace, it wasn't Obi-Wan, all that's left is who...Qui-Gon? A great main character who if you remember dies at the end. So they wasted about thirty to forty minutes on Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan until they found the whinny brat.

#5. Bad Guys Weren't Epic
In the sequels there is Darth Vader and the Emperor. Two bad guys who well at least, Darth Vader, was cool and bad and a challenge to the good guys. Remember the first time Luke fought Darth Vader on Bespin? Luke lost, he didn't die, he lost. It was clear that Darth Vader was much stronger and more powerful than Luke. Then there are the prequels, a spike head with a double lightsaber, an old man with a curved lightsaber, a robot with lungs with four lightsabers, and a old troll with a lightsaber. Darth Maul, he kills Qui-Gon (our main character) and Obi-Wan then cuts him in half. With the exception of Darth Maul being played by Ray Park and all his cool stunts with his double lightsaber. And old guy with a curved handle lightsaber? What were they thinking? And then it gets better, a cyborg with not one, not two, but four lightsabers. More isn't always better.

#6. Movies Were Rushed
Episode II and III especially. Episode II, the Clone Wars lasted years. Hence why they made the cartoon The Clone Wars. But the worst is Episode III, worst part of that movie was when Anakin turned into Darth Vader. It literally took like a second. He cuts off Mace's hand, says "what have I done?", then he tells The Emperor that he will do whatever he wants. What?? If it's that easy to turn to the dark side, how are their any Jedi?

#7. Same Force Powers
We already saw force lighting, force choke, force push, and force lift. We didn't want to see them again. They were cool the first time, but not the second time. They should have created something new, something different. Like force super speed or something. I would have enjoyed that, take the whole Flash thing into the Star Wars Universe.

Annoying Characters From TV Shows

At a request of a commenter, I decided to make a top five list of most annoying characters from TV shows. I was going to do kids again, but I couldn't think of enough.

I know that there are more than this, but here are my top five most annoying characters in TV:

#1. Wesley Crusher. From Star Trek The Next Generation. He was Dr. Beverly Crusher's son and probably the most annoying character to ever be on a TV show. He was very annoying and whinny. Typical of any kid on any serious TV show. Also a very useless character, he didn't do much of anything. He annoyed Captain Picard in the first season the most. Eventually, Picard "liked him" a.k.a put up with him.

#2. Janice. From Friends. Janice, where to start? Her voice, her laugh, ughh it gives me the chills just thinking about it. Why Chandler kept going out with her is beyond me. Even though every time he wanted to dump her, yet he still dated her. Back to Janice, she is probably the most annoying female character to ever be on TV.

#3. Jackie. From That 70's Show. Jackie was a major pain in the butt. All of her constant whining and complaining to Kelso, oh sorry, Michael. She was the only character to always call Kelso, Michael. That was annoying. Her voice didn't help much either or her bossiness or her constant bragging about herself.

#4. Hilary. From The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Hilary, she was one of those characters who didn't serve much purpose after the first season. Plus her constant snotty attitude got really annoying after like the first episode.

#5. Rachel. Another From Friends. I know most people watched Friends because Jennifer Anniston was in it and it's also the only reason the show lasted ten seasons. Besides Janice, she was the most annoying main character in that show. I don't think there is an episode of her not crying, sobbing, yelling, or just being annoying. And that whole sobbing talking thing was really annoying, it wasn't funny, you couldn't even understand what she was saying. She kinda had the same attitude as Jackie and Hilary too, that snobby arrogant attitude of being from a wealthy family.

So there you go, if you think I left someone out, which I'm sure I did. Please tell me who you would add to your most annoying characters from TV.

Kids Who Ruined Movies

Think about all those movies you love and enjoy and then think of that thing that you blocked out. Yeah, those little annoying brats in awesome movies. They really do ruin a good movie, don't they?

Here's a list of movies with annoying little brats who ruined them:


Jurassic Park. Tim and Lex Murphy. Possibly the two most annoying kids ever to be in any movie. Why a director puts little kids into a "scary" movie is beyond me. It really takes away the scariness and all you want throughout the movie is for them to die. I don't know about you, but when Tim got electrocuted by the electric fence I was really hoping he died. I know that sounds bad, but that kid was so annoying. Remember Lex's line about being a computer hacker...wow...she was like what twelve? Then she can hack into the security system?? Come on. If she is that smart she wouldn't be so stupid, like shinning the flashlight at the T-Rex. Good idea there Lex. What kind of name is Lex for a girl anyway, her name is Alexa, I'm sure. So why go with the whole Lex Luthor girl wanna be thing? Plus, Lex Luthor is cool evil genius. And that's just hurting his good name.


Jurrassic Park: The Lost World. Kelly. Why? Why is she in this movie? Nobody cares that Ian has a kid. People like Ian because he is the funny guy in the movie. And then gymnastic girl kills a Velociraptor by swinging and kicking it with her ankles. Not with her feet by the way in which she would have broken her ankles. And the obviousness of the girl swinging wasn't even the same actress. 


Jurassic Park III. The little kid who somehow defends himself against dinosaurs for a number of weeks with his T-Rex pee. Which I really don't want to know how he got. Then as soon as everyone else shows up, he becomes helpless? How did that happen?


Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Anakin Skywalker. I know he is a big deal for the rest of the movies, but does he have to be so annoying? Little whining brat. I guess we know where Luke got it from.


Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Anakin. He never learns, you would think with all his Jedi training, he wouldn't still be a whiner. 


Star Wars Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi. The Ewoks. I know they aren't little kids or are they? No one ever explains what the heck those little teddy bears are. I'm guessing they have the IQ of a little kid since they act like them. So they really do ruin the Battle of Endor. Somehow of group of little furballs with spears and rocks can wipe out an army of the highest advanced military who can take over the rest of the universe fine, but they get killed by Ewoks? Come on. I have to be honest when that first Ewok died, I was happy. 


Terminator Salvation. What purpose does the little girl serve? I had to go back to check, but Judgement day was in 2004 and this movie took place in 2018. That kid was definitely younger than 14, so where did she come from? After millions of people died, she was just born randomly? So her parents obviously died, so how did she not? So millions of strong men and women die, but a little girl doesn't? Thankfully she doesn't talk at all throughout the movie so that decreases her annoyingness. 


Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Young John Conner. Annoying little kid who thinks he's cool. Really hoped for The Terminator to turn on him and kill that little brat.


War of the Worlds. Rachel. Ok, I know that Dakota Fanning was a good child actress at a young age. And I also know that her behavior in this movie was expected, a little kid being scared to death in an alien invasion. But all she did throughout the entire movie was cry, panic, and scream. I don't know about you, but I really wanted to shut that girl up.


Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Short Round. What purpose does he serve? None. This movie would have been better without him and that annoying blonde Willie, but that's another story. I don't like watching this movie because of this annoying kid.   


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Mutt Williams. Another useless character. This movie sucked anyway with old Indiana and the whole alien thing, but why bring in another kid? Yes, he is older than Short Round, but he still just as annoying. He does have a few good old guy jokes here and there, but mostly there is no purpose for him in this movie. 


The Santa Clause. Charlie. Perhaps the most annoying kid ever to be in a movie besides Tim and Lex in Jurassic Park. All of his not listening to his father, his whining, and his outstanding annoyingness. When he was climbing on the snowy, slippery roof, I was really hoping for him to slip, fall, and die. 


The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Edmund. Between his constant whining and his whole turning on his brother and two sisters for chocolate. He got better later on, but still.


Star Wars Episode VII: The Return of Old Solo

Ever since Harrison Ford signed on to return as Han Solo and with Mark Hamil and Carrie Fisher in talks to reprise their roles. I'm guessing, since they are all in their sixties/seventies and way too old to do anything, this second trilogy is going to be about their kids. Luke's son, Ben and Han and Leia's kids, Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin.

Hopefully they will be in their twenties or at least late teens in this movie. Nothing is worse than having little kids be main characters in an super popular franchise movie. Remember the first Jurassic Park? The kids were the most annoying part(s) in the entire movie. Or the little kid in Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom? Or going back to Star Wars, Anakin in The Phantom Menace. So hopefully they will be older and not ruin the movie.

When I first heard that Harrison Ford was returning as Han Solo. I was disappointed. Especially with J.J. Abrams directing, I thought for sure he would do what he did with Star Trek. Have a younger cast of actors play Han, Luke, and Leia.

No one has actually confirmed that this new trilogy will be about their children. I'm really hoping that this won't be a new Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And old Han Solo trying to be young again would not do well. The main reason I figure it will be about their kids is because back when Disney was trying to find a director and they were talking to Matthew Vaughn. He wanted Chloe Grace to star in it. Who was Hit Girl in his Kick Ass in 2010. So that's how I came to that conclusion, but since he isn't directing it. It's all up to J.J. Abrams, but George Lucas has to accept the story before they make it, but also he met with Ford, Hamil, and Fisher a few months before he sold LucasFilm to Disney. So I'm pretty sure all three of them will be in it.

There hasn't been much new news recently, but I"ll update if I hear anything.

UPDATE: George Lucas let slip that Harrison Ford, Mark Hamil, and Carrie Fisher have signed on for Han, Luke, and Leia. Apparently he wasn't supposed to, probably because J.J. Abrams is extremely secretive when it comes to anything.

Captain Jack Sparrow Returns

Good title for Pirates 5, huh? The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Return of Captain Sparrow. No, this is not the actual title to this movie, if it was it would be interesting.

Pirates 5. Not sure what else they can do with Pirates. They've had pretty much everything I can think of: skeletons, fish people, mermaids, the Kraken, Blackbeard, random zombies, hidden treasure, the English, the Spanish, and even though it was a bit of a stretch, the Fountain of Youth.

There are only a few things I can think of that they can do, but I'm sure that there are many things they are thinking about. But here are my ideas: A creepy, but cool version of Captain Hook. How cool would that be? Captain Hook vs. Captain Sparrow. It can be done, since both are Disney characters. Plus, we've seen wooden legs, monkeys, eye patches, and parrots, now we want to see a hook hand.

Some things they need to improve on from the last movie: Add a supporting character and a supporting character story line. Much like the Will and Elizabeth love story throughout the first three. Plus Will and Elizabeth both being supporting characters was good too. Jack is great, but he needs someone with him. The last movie was really missing that. At first I thought that Phillip, the missionary guy, and that mermaid were going to be like the new Will and Elizabeth, but it didn't feel like it to me. All there is really left is Barbossa and he has the Queen Anne's Revenge, Blackbeard's ship.

Another thing they should do is give Will a small part or at least a cameo in next movie. Since he is still harboring the dead with his father, they can easily show him.

As for Elizabeth, she kinda fulfilled her purpose. She married Will and has a kid, so she can't really do much.

As for Angelica, she didn't really fill the void of where Elizabeth left. An old flame of Jack's didn't really impress me very much.

Blackbeard was good, they shouldn't have killed him off so soon.

They really need to get The Black Pearl out of the bottle, also they need to spend more time on the ships and having naval battle and less time on land wasting time. Did you know that in the whole movie of On Stranger Tides not a single cannon was fired. Shocking, isn't it?

The only other real pirate captain I can think of is Captain Kidd. That would be pretty cool, but I think a Captain Hook or something else would be better. Blackbeard was cool because he was real, but he didn't have the same effect like Davy Jones or Barbossa.

So Pirates 5 needs to make improvements from Pirates 4. I'll keep you updated if I hear anything new.

2015: The Year Of The Big Movies

I remember a few years ago this year was the year of the movies, but it's not even close to 2015. Yes, this year we have Man of Steel, Wolverine, The Hobbit Part 2, Thor 2, Fast 6, Iron Man 3, Lone Ranger, Star Trek 2, Die Hard 5, G.I. Joe 2, etc.. Which is a lot of movies, but big franchise movies are coming in 2015.

Star Wars Episode VII. The long awaited Star Wars movie. Anybody who knows anybody likes Star Wars. This movie is number one for the year, hands down.

Avengers 2. Following The Avengers which came out last year, they are making Avengers 2 which is awesome. The Avengers was awesome and I bet this movie will also be awesome, but nothing beats Star Wars, so that's why it's number two.

Justice League. Another comic book superhero reunion, basically. What to expect from Justice League, a DC version of The Avengers. Yeah, it'll be that awesome, just instead of Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor. It'll be Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman.

Pirates of the Caribbean 5. This movie was put on hold for almost two years, because of Johnny Depp's Lone Ranger coming out this year. I'm looking forward to seeing Captain Jack Sparrow again. I'll get more into Pirates on another post, so don't worry, all the questions you have will be answered.

Avatar 2. Not at all sure what this movie will be about. Avatar ended fine being a single movie, but James Cameron wants to make three total, so who's gonna argue with him. He is a great director. Between Avatar and Titanic, those two movies made so much money. So what to expect, I'm not really sure, I'm guessing Sam Worthington will be returning as Jake Sully in Avatar form like the end of Avatar. Not sure about a story line as of this moment.

Mission Impossible 5. Not sure why they are waiting another two years for this movie. I did hear a rumor that the guy who directed Jack Reacher wants to direct MI5. Hopefully we will see more of Ving Rhames in this upcoming movie along with Jeremy Renner and of course Tom Cruise.

Ant Man. Ant Man is a Marvel superhero, who in the comic books is an Avenger. Although he is kinda boring, honestly. All he can do is shrink down to ant size and communicate with ants. So basically a superhero version of Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.

Fantasic Four. It's not a sequel to Silver Surfer, it's a reboot. I do not know anything about this movie. All I know is the reason they are rebooting is because the last two didn't do so well and plus Chris Evens is now Captain America. Matthew Vaughn (Director of X-Men First Class) has signed on as producer.

Bourne 5. Sequel to Bourne Legacy. Not sure as of yet if Jeremy Renner or Matt Damon will star in the upcoming sequel. There has been rumors that both will appear in it. Whether they're both or just Renner is in it, I know It'll be awesome.

Snow White and the Huntsman 2. Not really sure what they will do with this movie, I do know that Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth are both going to be in it again.

Die Hardest. Sequel to A Good Day to Die Hard. Starring Bruce Willis, obviously. Pretty much all the Die Hard movies are awesome, so I'm sure this won't be any different.

So there you have it, a lot of big franchise movies coming out in 2015. Make sure you put aside some movie money, because you're gonna need it.

Star Wars Standalone Films?

Yes, it's true. Disney, besides making the new trilogy, are making standalone movies. At first I wasn't really a fan, because it was rumored that they were going to do one on Yoda. Yoda's story is more of a mystery and I kinda like it like that. But then they said they probably weren't going to do a Yoda movie and it was a false rumor, so I was glad.

But, Disney is going to give Han Solo and Boba Fett their own standalone movies. Personally, they are the perfect two to start off standalones.

Han Solo. They can do a whole lot with him. Like how did he get the Millenium Falcon from Lando? How did he meet Lando? How did he meet Chewy? What did he do before he got the Millenium Falcon? Why does he owe Jabba money? Why does he hate droids? They can do so much with his story. I'm not sure who they could get to play a young Han Solo. They can't use the same person, unfortunately, as who they use in Episode 7. The age difference is too great. But this movie will be awesome.

Boba Fett. Boba is one of my favorite characters in Star Wars. We already know where he came from. We all learned his beginning story in Episode 2. But, we can learn everything he did between Episodes 3-4. I remember when I was younger, I read a series of Star Wars books called Boba Fett. Basically telling his story from when Jango died to Episode 5. Pretty cool series. But Boba is an awesome character and I can't wait until his standalone movie comes out.

Disney is also saying that these two movies are only the beginning. So who else are they going to make? They can do a lot of different people. Here are a few stories I would like to see:

Count Dooku. Since he used to be a jedi, how did he fall to become a Sith?

Qui-Gon Jinn. He could fit in with Dooku's story or vice versa. Since Dooku is Jinn's master. That would be pretty cool to see his story line.

Even though it isn't a person, I would like to see The Old Republic become a movie. The Old Republic which has been a few video games and books, takes place before Episode 1. It's pretty cool, it has a lot to do with the Sith and the Jedi.

Amazing Spiderman 2

Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the obviously the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man. Its set to hit theaters in the summer of 2014.

So far they have a lot of the cast set:
Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy
Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson
Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon/Electro
Sally Field as Aunt May
Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn
Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn (Hopefully becoming Green Goblin at the end of the movie)
Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben (I'm guessing a flash back)
Paul Giamatti as Aleksei Sytsevish/The Rhino (Techinally he is rumored)
Felicity Jones as unknown yet to this point (Technically she is also rumored)

What you can probably expect to see in this movie:
Since Mary Jane is going to be in this movie, even though its been said that she will only have a small part. So I'm guessing they are just going to introduce her into the movie and she will probably be a main character in the next Amazing Spider-Man. Which if they are still sticking to the comics then Gwen will probably be killed by Green Goblin, although there has been no word about Norman Osborn/Green Goblin in this movie as of yet, but it would make sense if at least Norman was in this movie since his son, Harry, will be.

Max Dillon is acquainted with Dr. Curt Conners/The Lizard, the villain from the first movie. So I'm figuring that something will tie in there. Not sure how The Rhino is going to fit in. In The Amazing Spider-Man game that came out about a year ago, tied The Rhino to Dr. Conners experiments. So I suppose they could do that.

I'm hoping they will continue with the mystery of Peter's parents and especially the stranger in the cell with Conners. I'm not sure who Felicity Jones will be playing, nothing comes to mind, but I'm sure whatever they do with her It'll probably be important. Since they are making a pretty big deal about here being rumored in the movie.

I read an article on IGN.com about how The Amazing Spider-Man could be as epic as The Avengers. It didn't go into as much as I thought it would. They think it'll be awhile for Spider-Man to become associated with the Avengers movies. Which I do agree with, there hasn't been any signs of a connected so far. Spider-Man is an Avenger in the comics. He is part of the second wave with Wolverine.

I think for either this movie or the next they need to add a cameo of another superhero that ties in the Spider-Man comics. Like either Daredevil, The Punisher, The Human Torch, or even Iron Man. It would give the movie a boost. Think about Iron Man 2. When Black Widow, Nick Fury, and Warmachine had big roles in that movie, it made it so much cooler. I mean, that movie was awesome anyway, but by adding new heroes it made it more epic. That's why The Avengers was so awesome because they had seven superheros plus a super villain.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger, is doing it good too like how Iron Man 2 did it. They are adding The Falcon. Which is really cool, because he is hasn't been in anything yet, so that will be cool to see.

So either giving Daredevil or Iron Man a cameo would be cool, I think. It'd be cool to give Daredevil a cameo just because he's cool and lets face it, the Daredevil movie sucked and it needs a reboot. Where better to start than having a cameo in The Amazing Spider-Man? If they add Iron Man, they can easily connect Spider-Man to The Avengers.

The Amazing Spider-Man is set to release May 2, 2014.

A Director Has Been Chosen!

Director J.J. Abrams has accepted the roll of directing the new Star Wars Trilogy: Episodes VII-IX.

J.J. Abrams is probably the best choice to have to direct Star Wars. Especially since he has been making the reboot of Star Trek. His Star Trek movies consist of the basically the same ideas that he will need to direct the new Star Wars Trilogy. He used a younger generation of actors and actresses to re-develop the characters from Star Trek: The Original Series. Also with final touches of adding cameos to the original actors such as Leonard Nimoy as future Spock in Star Trek.


I'm not saying that Abrams should cast future characters in Star Wars, but I'm almost positive he will give Ford, Fisher, and Hamil cameos. Hopefully he will cast a younger generation of actors and actresses to fill the roles of the main characters.


Now for who should play Han, Leia, and Luke. I have my own ideas, unfortunately, my opinion doesn't matter to anyone in high places in the entertainment world, but here are my ideas. Maybe someone important will see them and take them into consideration.


Han Solo: Nathan Fillion (Castle, Firefly). Why? Because he already looks like a young Harrison Ford, plus he has the same personality as Han Solo.


Leia Solo: Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean, King Arthur). Why? Who better to play Padme's (Natalie Portman) daughter than her look-a-like. Knightley and Portman share a very strong resemblance to each other. Plus, she has that certain warrior princess attitude.


Luke Skywalker: Garrett Hedlund (Four Brothers, Tron: Legacy). Why? Have you ever noticed certain faces he makes looks a lot like a young Mark Hamil?


C-3P0: Anthony Daniels. Who else is there?


Lando Calrissian: Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter). Why? I think he could play a pretty good Lando. He kinda has the same personality.

Admiral Thrawn: Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class, Prometheus). He could play an awesome Admiral Thrawn. Just picture his personality from X-Men: First class and put him as an Admiral in Star Wars. That would be pretty awesome.

Mara Jade: Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games, X-Men: First Class). Just make her hair red and she would be good to go. Just take her fighting stuff from Hunger Games and give her a lightsaber. I can't think of anyone who could play Mara Jade better. 

Boba Fett: Temuera Morrison (Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith). Who better than the voice of Janjo being the voice of Boba? Since they are clones anyway, makes sense to me.

R2-D2 and Chewbacca are probably going to be digitally imputed or whatever. 

Characters they could add:

Mace Windo: Samuel L. Jackson (Star Wars Episodes I-III). Nobody really knows what happened to Mace Windo after the Emperor through him out the window. He lost an arm to Anakin, but who said he died?
