The Savage Creed

by mutantaday

So is day two of the count down to X Men Origins: Wolverine, coming out May 1st. Now like any good blogger it is important and necessary not to be obsessed with the main character [Hugh Jackman] of a movie, and recognize that other people do exist….like when they call Hugh Jackman Wolverine, or like when they call him Logan, or when they call him James. You have to recognize that….I am in love with “them”. As such you must give attention to his arch nemisis, Victor Creed, a.k.a. Sabretooth.

Starting out in the Marvel universe as purely a villianous murder, Victor has been the pong ball  between evil and not so evil. Formerly fighting side by side with Wolverine in the Weapon X project, Sabretooth is most noticeable as being Magneto’s muscle while apart of The Brotherhood of evil Mutants, or simply, The Brotherhood. His character has also been linked to being Logan’s father, which was later proven not true, as well as the lover of Mystique, [birthing the mutant-phobe Graydon Creed],  known to many as Raven Darkholme or the former Rebecca Romaine, (stay-moist), from the X movies.

Joining the X Men as well as X Factor his mind has been on the brink many times on Earth 616 [Don't hate me for using that term].  In fact the only time Sabretooth has not been a homocidal maniac is in Age of Apocolypse {irony} when not only does he care for WildeChild, (be it by chain), but also for Clarice Ferguson, also known as the teleporting Blink.

Played by Tyler Mane in the X movies, Liev Schreiber will take over the roll in the new Origins movie giving some insight to the characters background and personality….ya know besides the constant “I’m going to kill your face” complex that he has.

On Fire & Getting Fired…

So with the release of my husband’s Hugh Jackman’s movie coming out, X- Men Origins: Wolverine, it seems that people have literally lost their frikin’ minds!
As you all know, well now you do, there is a leak out there of an unfinished Wolverine and since people are tar-tar and can’t wait to see it in theatres, the word is spreading and more and more people are tarnishing their good sense and jumping on the bandwagon of what I think is bad guy protocol.

This has happened SO much that even critics are trying and have gotten their grubby little hands on it and have gone so far as to write reviews and publish them.

Fail.

And with that failure the dude got canned. The dude being Fox News columnist Roger Friedman. Oh Fox . And Fox affiliated people. When will the shenanigans end!!!

It wont, that’s why we love Family Guy so much. I mean did you see the last episode wh….wait…uh .. Wolverine, yes.

So here is the article…read it. There is also a nice pic of Jackman. BTW, he says it’s freaking AWESOME! Which is to be expected. I mean, check the pic at the top. Wolverine is on fire. in my pants.

Someone to Judo-Chop

Can we PUH-LEASE talk about the insanity that is Street Fighter – Legend of Chun-Li?

 I swear I plotzed and not in a good way.

So here is the shiz. Mutant A Day and other affiliates of said blog went to a matinee showing [because of the likely hood of failure and because paying 8 dollars for a 2 dollar hooker movie is just wrong].

“Why the neggative start out?” You ask. Well, the movie actually was not “bad”. Kristen what’s her Lana, who normally I, and the rest of the world, hates, due to her contant up-do’s and abnormalities in a little show called Smallville [yes I went there], kicked SO MUCH ass it gave me chills.

SERIOUSLY!

She actually did a good job playing a character myself and other girls,guy,bi,Thai people love to fight with on the video games. Who else has head crushing thighs? Certainly not Jenna Jameson. Certainly not that guy who crushes cans for recycling on Rosedale and 5th!

Wait..what?

But yes folks, she did a good job. Chris Klein however makes me want to call up Katie Holmes so we can go back in time together when they dated and she can agree to marry him only to leave him at the alter and break his heart the way he broke mine with his “ACTING” in this movie.

Every time he appeared in the scene with his greasy hair and sweaty face I wondered if he woke up every morning to a healthy breakfast of Frosted Crack and a side bagels and blow. By the way he “played” Charlie Nash.

And by played [I swear this is my last complaint] I mean lamely one lined his way through the movie. He gets the douche award for this post.

Even though the majority of the movie is sub-par, we are glad we saw it. It’s right up there with Glitter or any movie J-lo made after The Wedding Planner.

More posts to come invloving the count down to X-men’s Origins Wolverine, All-con pics with your favorite bloggers, and random entries involving that guy from Rosedale & 5th!  Oh yeah replace this guy with Chris Klein and have a lovely day!

Watchmen, Part 2

by windiebird

Comedian

Holy Existential Jesus! This movie sure caused something of a stir in the comics world. As a fan of the graphic novel I feel like I have to give you two parts to my review of the screen adaptation.

The first is looking at the movie, based purely on its own merits and not with comparison to the source material (girl).

Any movie longer than an hour and a half has to keep you entertained constantly and Watchmen certainly delivers the fun babies. A good mixture of action and philosophical drama, this movie raises some intriguing and fundamental questions.

What’s the meaning of life? Is human nature really violent and evil? Is tragedy the only way we’re able to see past ourselves in relation to other beings? What would real costumed heroes be like? How long can you show big, blue dong in a film before getting an un-rateable feature?

But seriously, there’s a blue penis in it. Now that that’s out of everyone’s system, let’s keep the review train chugging along. So the curtain rises on a world not dissimilar to our own. The big city is home to violence, corruption & deep, dark lies. We see how masked vigilantes have changed the world of the Watchmen indelibly and been altered themselves, for better & worse. We get a sense for what it’s like for real, honest people to go through a comic book world. How would a person truly react to murder? Does everyone have a Superman hidden inside them or an Apokoplips? Or both?

The wonderful thing about Watchmen (is that I’m the only one!) is that it raises questions constantly, like good art always does. To give away too much of the plot would spoil it but suffice it to say that if you haven’t seen it yet you are doing yourself a major disservice.

So now, let me put on my Watchmen Fanboy hat to say what I’m REALLY feeling. I loved this movie, honestly. I feel that this is the truest screenplay that Hollywood would ever come up with when it comes to Watchmen.

That being said, I agree with Alan Moore that the Watchmen graphic novel never needed to be made into a movie. It definitely got the public interested in the graphic novel which is only a good thing. But many of the elements that made the book so mind-blowing and fantastic, couldn’t translate to the screen. It was clear that the production team was aiming to please all people. With constant nods to the novel yet some glaring omissions and alterations, it’s certainly a roller coaster ride for fans of the book. You’ll be screaming internally at a few unnecessary changes and scratching your head at times.

And the ending…well, it’s different. It worked for me, though. It was a mish-mash of streamlined plot and simplification but I came away from the experience with a feeling that I had seen Watchmen, not just a generic super-hero movie with the Watchmen franchise sprinkled on top.

Ultimately, whether the movie is your first introduction to Watchmen or if you were a fan of the book since its first publication, I feel that everyone can enjoy this film.
