Thor (2011)

Just not... good

[4/10 · 31 January 2012]

This movie was juvenile, poorly written, and idiotic. Written to appeal to the lowest common denominator of humor and action.

Throughout the film you are treated to incredibly dry action sequences of "punch this" "block this" "hammer that", and duologue that begs oneself to roll your eyes at the punch lines and scoff at the mechanical delivery of conversation. You can literally watch Natalie Portman die on the inside as she realizes what a mistake she made to accept the role...

THOUGH there was one funny line which SHONE above the rest of the movie: "This mortal form grows weak. I require sustenance!" I found it quite humorous, but then realized that the only reason I was laughing was because it caught me off guard since EVERYTHING ELSE was poorly delivered/written.

-.- So bad... I love me some super hero movies, but this movie and Green lantern are nearly at the same level of tripe... (Green lantern was just... bad... but thor was just... bad and stupid. Maybe green lantern was a smidge better then? Doesn't say much though)

Rob & Big (2006–2008)

Great personality

[8/10 · 15 February 2008]

I'm not usually about the reality shows, but the personality and character shown on this series is amazingly entertaining. You can tell that these guys have spent a lot of time together, and their dynamic is definitely genuine. Every single episode has a line that will stick with you, and even though some of their activities seem set up to a certain extent, their actual participation of the event is all their own. Very unique,and it's just fun to watch the guys do what they think is fun. Sometimes I think they amaze themselves about how funny some of their situations turn out. I don't think the show is going to win any awards any time soon, but it's great entertainment.
