I am 4.5

I honestly watched I am Number 4 way too many times. I watched both Thor and I am Number 4 on Friday while it snowed and snowed outside. Then my sister called to come over and she didn't want to watch anything but I am Number 4. So I gave in. She woke up on Saturday and wanted to watch it again. I can't blame her, the guy who does play number 4 is a really hot Brit.

I am Number 4 is about a guy who is an alien. He has 9 siblings (I am guessing that they are siblings since John (Number 4) says "9 of us kids" after talking about the death of his parents) that have special legacies that can stop these bad aliens. I think the main bad alien was the guy who played the dog man on Dark Angel...he had the same voice and the way he sniffed the air was very similar. Anyways, these bad aliens are killing off these kids in order. It starts with the death of Number 3. This sends John and his protector, Henri, scurrying to another place - Paradise, OH. Here, John discovers Sam and Sarah. They help him along the way in Paradise, OH. Love, butt kicking, and some pretty weird aliens makes for a pretty interesting show. I really liked the presence of Megan Follows (Anne of Green Gables) as the cashier. It was AWESOME to see her in the movie.

I also watched Thor. I figured I would give it an equal opportunity to prove it's suckiness. I actually fell asleep during the first part of it. I really perked up when Jeremy Renner showed up; however, he wasn't mentioned in the credits. It was a lot of just awkward weirdness and the guy who played Thor was just kind of petulant. It just wasn't that great of a movie...and they take the rainbow highway. Oi.

Thor vs. Conan the Barbarian

So I happen to actually like action movies quite a lot. I like blood and guts and gore. I'm a weird girl, but hey - I get arthritic fingers after a few days of using a hose for long periods of time...I have to get my thrills from somewhere! Two BIG movies are coming out soon. Thor seems to be new while Conan the Barbarian was already played by The Governator (a.k.a. Arnold Schwarzenegger...I'm a little afraid for my life and why I could just spell his last name without having to look it up).


Thor was released today and despite having cool people in it like Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins - I think it looks stupid. I hate to say it because I think that Anthony Hopkins would make one awesome Odin, but egh. I was watching the trailer with my roomies last weekend and they were all swooning over the guy that plays Thor...I was gagging. I know that the main guy shouldn't be the reason to go to a film...but let's face it - besides the action action movies bring to our lives...they also bring really hot men! Sad, but true. I'm sorry to the poor actor guy, but I do not think he is all that gorgeous and his voice actually annoys the heck out of me. This will further cement me as a nerd, but I have an image of Thor in my head and this guy does not even come close. The Scottish guys in this commercial come a tad bit closer to my imagined Thor. So here is a trailer - decide if you want to go see Thor become the defender of the people.



The other movie I wanted to talk about is Conan the Barbarian. I am kind of interested to see what will be done with this movie and story line...besides being able to finally understand the dialogue. I like Jason Momoa a lot! Heck, I watched Star Gate: Atlantis because of him and his gorgeous hair. I am also excited to see Rose McGowan in this movie. I bet she'll play a witch. I have no clue who or what her character does...but I am betting she'll be a witch! I guess I'm just more excited to see a hero in his own time period doing what he does best - kicking butt. Maybe that is why I am put off by the idea of Thor returning to earth and becoming the champion for humans...he just doesn't belong here! Sure, we have the tree of Thor in our houses every year for Christmas, but I think this is crossing the line! Enjoy the trailer of a gorgeous Jason Momoa kicking butt!
