Summer Movies 2012..PART I....What I have Seen

It again has been three months since I have made any sort of post Here Behind My Blog.  Mostly this is due to the fact that it would have been way to easy to hop on here and be negative.  So another hiatus was in order.  As such I am late getting my anticipated movies for the Summer of 2012 up so this will be a list of what I have seen thus far, what I want to see, what I missed seeing and maybe a few that I will not be seeing.  

So far the movie I have enjoyed the most this summer has been The Avengers, not shocking I am sure especially if you know me.

The Avengers
With the Avengers Marvel finally made the ultimate comic book movie.  Great fun, great action and a the wit and humor one would expect from a Marvel book finally up on the silver screen.  We made a trip to New Orleans to see this in IMAX and it was well worth the trip.  A bonus was we were able to stop in Poplarville on the way home to see some great friends so all in all it made the experience a great one!

Prometheus
A movie that so many have complained about, and really that is the issue with having such high hopes for films when going in.  I for the most part read up and watch whatever I can to find out as much about a movie beforehand as I can.  I do avoid spoilers when I can but for the most part when I go into a movie it is with my mind rebooted and ready for new information.  More people should have done this for Prometheus.  I have overheard more long winded conversations about this movie than any other since Inception.  Though not a direct Prequel to Alien this is a great origin story for the Xenomorph.  I along with my friend Josh really enjoyed this movie and if you are up for a true sci-fi adventure you will as well.

That's My Boy
This was a movie I had no intentions of ever seeing.  I have not seen a good Adam Sandler film since Billy Madison maybe never have I seen a great one.   So after an afternoon meal and a couple of pitchers of beer with my best friend we decided to go see this movie as a total goof.  Worst case we would have fodder to riff on best case we would have a few laughs.  Well we had more than a few laughs, as this movie marked the return of Adam Sandler to raunchy gross out humor.  So if you are looking for some fun adult comedy with Vanilla Ice...This is the movie for you!

Men in Black 3
A fun yet underwhelming installment in the franchise.  Wait for a free dvd rental of this one.

The Amazing Spider-man
A movie I thought would be lost in the summer of The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises but I was sorely mistaken.  I would say this is the best Spider-man origin story but Spider-Man 2 still takes the cake for me.  We saw this in IMAX while in Panama City Beach.  Go figure another city with an IMAX but Mobile still does not have a theatrical IMAX.  This town sucks sometimes.

Later this week I will come back with Part II...What I want to See and or have missed so far...That will feature a certain Batman!!

Catch you later friendo's and be sure to check out ModMobilian.com

Things That......Week Two

No cool shit came in the mail this week but that does not mean the week was a total loss.
This week the first pictures of Bane from the Dark Knight Rises hit the interwebs via a viral campagin using the Twitter hashtag #thefirerises.  

Tom Hardy IS Bane!

Then tonight 5/22/2011word is that if you email thefirerises@hotmail.co.uk you will get sent the following from Selina Kyle, the pic's name is "friendorfoe.jpg"

Could this be the first photo of Anne Hathaway as Cat Woman?

So all you Batman fan's keep checking http://www.thedarkknightrises.com/ and Twitter #thefirerises to keep tabs on the progress of the final installment of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy!


Also This week a new Green Lantern Trailer hit and it is amazing.  In a a two year span 2011/2012 that could very well be dominated br Marvel with Thor, Captain America, X-Men First Class, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Avengers Green Lantern, the upcoming Dark Knight Rises and Zack Snyder's Superman: The Man of Steel may very well give them a huge run for the money! 


Check Out The Green Lantern.

Speaking of The Amazing Spider-Man which reboots the web crawlers story back  to high school, check out this first theatrical poster for the film. 

POSTER FAIL!!!!!!

Well I hope you all have a good week!!!!

Things That......Week One

So we are getting near a year on the blog and in recent months it has slowed down since others cant seem to understand its a fun outlet and in times of great stress a coping mechanism for me...assholes. Then I was given the chance to do my weekly DVD and Blu-ray columns on a great local website MODMOBILIAN.COM I slowed down putting that sort of stuff here too.  The blog did let me blow off steam and will in the future. 

However in the mean time I figured I would give a new weekly update a shot...Things That......
