“Instead, watch…” May 1, 2009
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these, but since the summer movie season starts today (according to Wolverine spots), it’s the perfect time to consider video alternatives to big summer blockbusters.
X-Men Origins, Wolverine: Tired and confused by the amount of mystery behind the Wolverine character in the X-Men movies? Well, here is his entire backstory clearly spelled out for you.
Instead, watch…Hulk vs. Wolverine: Do you really want an origin story for an indestructable mutant with retractable blades? Heck, no, you just want to see him cut the crap out of people. And who better an opponent then the Hulk?
Ghost of Girlfriend’s Past: A Charles Dickens classic raped into a romantic chick flick. Again, Mathew McConaughey plays the man every woman is supposed to be in love with. Either he is taking on really horrible project or his ego is really that big.
Instead, watch…Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Next Generation: Before McConaughey was seen as the dopey man-meat he is now, he was a psychotic madman in this revamped horror sequel.
Battle for Terra: A human space army invades a world of sperm-like aliens to engage in a territorial war and perhaps learn about the reproductive system.
Instead, watch…Titan AE: Great animated science fiction, rocking soundtrack, good dialogue, extra battles, hold the melodrama. Also, one of the few Don Bluth animated movies that won’t thouroughly disturb children.
