Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, now that I've seen a longer Project X trailer, there *is* a fireball. It's still not enough, though. Not big enough, not soon enough, not devastating enough.
GI Joe II is tempting me in with the idea that Channing's character is dead, and that The Rock and Jessica Moore will kick some ass, but why does there have to be Bruce Willis? Hmmph.
I liked Safe House. Originally I'd have said that it was about as plausible as the Bourne movies, but having seen a trailer for Bourne Legacy, and Safe House is much more likely.
However, it was fun. You have to take some leaps to get from scene to scene, but Denzel is fucking *on*. I love him nefarious and malevolent, because I've always thought he was scarily charismatic, and perfectly designed to get in your head and fuck you up. Still, vuvuzelas is beyond the pale.
Lots of fun fight choreography, with about enough focus that you can see who's hitting who, and lots of bullets that don't hit anyone, and some that do.
And pretty! Man, Ryan starts out basically in tears, and it sets some expectations.

ita !, I finally saw Chronicle today. It's been a while since I saw Akira, but I still got a much stronger Kid Miracleman vibe than Tetsuo vibe. Thought it was pretty good, too.

I just watched Rango. What the hell, they marketed it like a kids' movie, but it's actually A Fistful of Dollars meets Chinatown with talking animals. The visuals were great, as was the voice-acting, but for some reason, either because I came in with preconceptions or because I kept falling asleep, I thought the tone was off. Like it wanted to be taken seriously, like really seriously, but there was this silliness that undermined it. I admired the ambition, though.

I've been meaning to watch Rango because it got such a surprising burst of enthusiasm from blog-writers. It didn't seem to be the standard fare.

It's really not! I was so confused, like what is this movie.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I loved it. Thought it was hilarious.

I just finished watching What's Your Number. As the movie started, I quickly figured out it wasn't about trying to get people's phone numbers. Why in the world did I think it was about trying to get people's phone numbers?
Anyway, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, and I almost died laughing at the English accent part.

I thought What's Your Number almost succeeded at not slut shaming, and was pretty funny, although the point where I laughed until I cried was when she was trying it again with the black ex. Although the French stuff was pretty highly stupidly funny. That was a lot of absurd.
