Avengers are great as ever, though Ultron is no Loki. Crossover stories good for not having things end up "The hero right, the other people acting stupid". | Avengers are great as ever, though Ultron is no Loki.

May X, 2015<br> | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2179136/ American Sniper]<br> | |||
War. War never changes. But it can really screw with a guy's life. | |||

[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0829150/ Dracula Untold]<br> | |||
Dracula not a generic enough vampire character for you? Try him as a generic historical fantasy character instead. Meh. | |||
June 25-26, 2015<br> | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105665/ Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me]<br> | |||
It's like Twin Peaks, minus most of the characters and tone, and made three times as inscrutable. | |||

[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0231402/ Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles]<br> | |||
Somehow it's both tired rehash and fun to watch. | |||

[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1340138/ Terminator Genisys]<br> | |||
Can't be what T2 was in 1991, but much more interesting and impactful than the last two. Time travel craziness with some ideas similar to the TV show, and others to crazy ideas I've had. | |||

[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780653/ The Wolfman]<br> | |||
A 1930s monster movie with 2000s gore and effects. Didn't catch my interest much, but the creature look seemed surprisingly faithful to the old. | |||

[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478970/ Ant-Man]<br> | |||
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids + Mission Impossible + Pikmin, though not quite as impressive as them individually. | |||
August 4, 2015<br> | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243655/ Wet Hot American Summer]<br> | |||
Story goes in 10 directions, like a more-held-together Caddyshack. Totally stupid in almost all of the right ways. | |||
August 5, 2015<br> | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758742/ Death Note]<br> | |||
Fairly faithful adaptation, right down to the totally BS gaijin names. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. | |||
August 6, 2015<br> | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810827/ Death Note II: The Last Name]<br> | |||
Much more condensed and modified, this conclusion may actually be more satisfying than the drawn-out source material. | |||
Early September-ish?, 2015<br> | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286716/ The Hulk]<br> | |||
Some visually interesting stuff, though the CG doesn't really hold up. Hulk capabilities and backstory preeeetty weird. Nick Nolte as himself. | |||
October 10, 2015<br> | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3659388/ The Martian]<br> | |||
MacGyver/Robinson Crusoe in space. Matches the beats of the source material pretty closely. | |||
November 6, 2015<br> | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0359013/ Blade: Trinity]<br> | |||
Dipshit vampires and dumb vampire versus asshole vampire and mortal morons. Who will win? Who cares? | |||
November ?, 2015<br> | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3076658/ Creed]<br> | |||
Like the third in the series to try to rererevisit elements of the original Rocky? But it mostly works. | |||
December 17, 2015<br> | |||
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2488496/ Star Wars: The Force Awakens] | |||
A movie by people with Death Star-sized boners for A New Hope, and who also think you've got to make things bigger to be more impressive. | |||
