Swaptrick: Comics for the nerds

ok, so its been a long time coming but I finally got it done. most of these have been revised, but some are old enough that it wouldn't matter.

"the Box" - don't bother, (not that you could now anyway.) And I'm sorry for those of you that chose it over other titles- especially if my opinion could have persuaded you otherwise. The movie starts out well enough, and is able to carry your attention through about 85% of the movie; you may not be enthralled, but you want to know where everything is going. HOWEVER, the last fifteen minutes of the movie are terrible- absolutely awful, and will leave you as pissed as I was to suffer through the movie just to be let down so awfully. If you rent it, try not to break it- it needs to be returned.

"Paranormal activity" - I enjoyed it, but I know others didn't. Some have compared it to "the blair witch project" but I didn't get the relation, other than both being low-budget, first person P.O.V-style, independent films. The story here get's revealed pretty quick, and you really should know the type of movie your going to see from the commercials. All told, I enjoyed the movie, it was well acted, the plot went quick enough, but not too fast as to keep you from getting into the film, and as not seen in "the blair witch" there is plenty of visible activity, and its not too far fetched. money is definitely well spent on this one.

"2012" This one caught me off-guard, here I was expecting the standard lots of explosions, but big let down type movie, but what I got was- lots of explosions and a decent enough movie. Really this flick isn't going to change your life, but it will definitely entertain you. If it was still in theaters, it'd be well worth paying for, but for now, definitely worth seeing on the small screen.

"new moon" Unfortunately, while on vacation, my sisters dragged me to this, the most boring of boring movies. Now I know most chicks out there will say this was a great movie, but in all honesty I can't even begin to say that. The movie drags on, and on, and on, forever. No action, no break in the drudgery, no desire to give any sane person any reason to see this.

" Boondock saints 2 I wasn't disappointed in this film; I'm so thankful for that. There was definitely the possibility of it, going to the theaters to see the sequel to one of my favorite cult films, and having the urge to hang myself from the projector. I should have known it wouldn't be a sell out disappointment when it was only released in select theaters. Without revealing too much of the film in this visit to the brothers world- it's eight years later and the two are found living with their father in their native land when some gangster type fellas kill a priest to draw them back. To quote the movie "unfortunately it worked." The movie was very reminiscent of the first with the type of comedy and action. There was a bit more blatant humor the replacement immigrant aid is a touch over the top- but all together worth well more than the cost admission.
