Victor Frankenstein

So, as you may know, I don't like horror movies. AT ALL. I am a huge wimp and my brain struggles to disassociate fiction from reality when watching horror movies. I have never understood the appeal of purposefully scaring yourself. I just don't like it.

With that said...I'm super excited about Victor Frankenstein! It looks like it has some humor in it. It probably also helps that I'm familiar with the plot, so nothing will be...TOO much of a surprise? Not sure 'bout that, but still. Just look at the cast: James McAvoy, Daniel Radcliffe, Jessica Brown Findlay, Andrew Scott, Mark Gatiss.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

This movie was much better than that trailer. I mean, the trailer was fine, but you really need to just watch the movie. Thanks for sharing, kiki!

X-Men: First Class

I really liked this movie. It is a little more violent than I thought it would be, but I still liked it. I haven't read the comic books, so I maybe am not an expert or anything, but I thought it was really enlightening to see how X-Men formed, and the story line before what we all know. There was also a small bit with Wolverine which I wasn't expecting, and was a nice little treat! It also doesn't hurt that I like James McAvoy as an actor. Magneto is actually sort of a frightening character, even when he is on the good side. I wish things would have worked out so that Magneto and Professor Xavier could have stayed friends. But I don't think there would be the same sort of dynamic if there were two friends fighting evil, instead of two friends set against each other. I also noticed little things that would have started problems in their friendship. For example, when Charles Xavier takes the new x-men, including Erik, to his mansion which will be turned into the school, Erik said something like "You must have had it really hard" or something, that isn't a direct quote. But I think you can see how Erik is noticing the difference between them, and how different his childhood was from his friend. Even though it isn't like Charles had a great childhood. It just was on the opposite end of the spectrum.
