No fate but what we make.

And so after many years of wishing they would just set a Terminator movie in the future, they finally did it with Terminator: Salvation. Was it everything I hoped for, not 100%, but I'll give it a very strong 99%. Hot damn! This movie grabbed me from the get go, because even though I thought I knew the story well enough, this introduced elements that were all new, and even a couple of surprises. Now what should have been the biggest surprise was ruined by the stupid trailer for the movie, but all the rest were moments where I kept thinking; No way! I don't know if this movie is every one's cup of tea, but for this odd Sandman out, it was a whole lot of fun.

. . .of a demon in my view.

Tonight I took in Angels and Demons, I was satisfied. As with the novels themselves, I thought this movie was better than DaVinci Code. As for all the other little nitpicky things people seem to get all worked up about. . .blah, whatever. Hanks portrays a decent Langdon, not how I saw him, but what's so special about that? Changing aspects of the story to fit it all in the movie was fine with me too. And of course I always enjoy watching Ewan McGregor. ever since Trainspotting, the dude's just a fun actor. My only gripe with this movie was my main group with DaVinci Code, not enough of the back story on the art. (sigh) However, I felt they put a little more of that in this movie, but still. . .give me a two hour art history lesson, I'm game. Either way go see this one.
As for other recent movies, I've seen them but can't think of anything good or bad to say about them. Wolverine was alright. Star Trek was alright. Not much more I can say about them than that.
