Star Trek Thoughts

So I saw Star Trek last night and let-me-tell-you...it was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! No, really...it was in space.

I will say it was a good movie though. I thought the casting was excellent - I was afraid the actors would try to mimic the original cast, but they didn't, they made the characters their own which was nice. It blended slow dramatic parts with action sequences well. Overall I recommend the movie. It was another fun summer movie in the line of movies coming out. It seems to have brought new life back into Star Trek which will make some nerd quiet happy. I highly recommend seeing it at the IMAX rather than a traditional movie theatre, the huge screen and the rumble seats were cool. (It's the "Verizon IMAX Theatre" now, but will someone please start a company called "CL" and buy it from Verizon - that was it would be the "The CL IMAX Theatre!" Childish, but funny)

I give it 40 our of 50 stars.

Just a thought for the people who saw it, every time the bad guys were on screen I expected Mike Tyson to come strolling out from the back room.

Seperated at birth?

Transformers 2 Advertising Tips!

So in keeping with the sequel poster theme today I bring you the poster for "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen," which comes out June 24th. This is the real poster which I saw while I was surfing the web. It's a really nice poster, definitely looks epic.

I can only imagine the meetings they had to decided on how to advertise the new movie. They probably spent days deciding on what advertising company to use. I bet they racked thier brains deciding what colors and imagery was correct to bring in a huge audience for this highly anticipated movie. Designers probably jumped out windows from all the stress trying to create a unique and powerful poster. And finally, using the most sophisticated software - and lots of money - the masters of the advertising world produced the poster above.

It's not bad, really, it does look nice. But I hate to break it to them but in a couple of minutes, for free, using simply Microsoft Paint I think I came up with a poster that would to bring in a huge audience too...


What do you think, wouldn't this make you see the movie?

Poster Analysis: "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past"

So I went and saw "Wolverine" last night (which I enjoyed - not a bad way to start the summer blockbuster season) and when going into the theater I saw the poster for "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past."

Here's my analysis, from what I can tell from the poster:

So this movie looks like your standard Matthew McConaughey film - cute, romantic, fun...awww how sweet...but look closer!

It is clearly about a man who is haunted by the ghosts of 3 ex-girlfriends, who he killed. The tagline reads "You can't always run from your past" which leads me to believe that he has been trying to forget about these murdered exes but can't because he forgot to take down their portraits that hang on the wall of his apartment. Then in steps Jennifer Garner, who is the cute new detective in town, who is on assignment to find him and strangle him with his own scarf.

Now I haven't seen the commercial for this film but I'm almost positive thats the plot. Right?
