The Avengers

When Loki comes back to earth of search of a cube, Nick Fury is forced by desperation to call everyone in hopes to form, The Avengers. By near force, he gets, Iron-Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and Bruce Banner. Once they all arrive high tension is formed and not soon later, they all start fighting for really no apparent reason. Once action starts heating up, and war begins, they decide to stop, and actually help and be, heroes. Loki succeeds in using Starks tower to help open a portal into his world, to let his army into earth. Once mass destruction is happening, The Avengers start acting like a team, and start avenging the earth.




Sorry for the short plot, a ton of stuff happened in the film, that to me, is a huge spoiler, and well, I don't like spoilers. And I apologize for reviewing this film so late, I didn't feel like fighting my way to a seat on opening weekend, so I waited a week, then that week turned into three.

This film was the 1st film I was truly anticipating this year, and well, the wait was very much worth it. This film had very great acting, I was very surprised at how good it was. Kind of expected a 90minute rushed film, no, this was a 2hr 30min film, and no where near rushed. I also loved how dark this film was, seemed throughout the whole film there was a dark aurora, but it was nice to see it dark.

As expected, every Avenger came back to reprise there role, with the exception of, Bruce Banner (Hulk). He was the only one that I felt would maybe not be good, as I loved Norton's portrayal of Bruce Banner, and the hulk in 2008 film was amazing. Was skeptical about having yet another actor play Bruce Banner, kept thinking, when will an actor play Bruce more than once? But,  Mark Ruffalo adds something new, finally, we get a good Bruce. He reminded me of the 70's Bruce. I did love his performance of Bruce more than anyone's, but, I didn't so much like the design of Hulk, he looked like a more updated version of the 2003 version, and the 2008 version was so epic looking, seemed they made a watered down version. But non the less, it was still awesome.

Every actor did an amazing job, bringing new awesomeness on screen, since we first saw the first little tease at the end of Thor. Finally coming all together in a massive epic film, that will make me see it again, at least a 2nd time, if not 3rd time in theater.

If your a Marvel fan, and finally was happy all the marvel films, leading up this one movie, then see it. It was amazing in every way. I was not disappointed at all.

What I thought was also awesome, is that they confirmed a sequel just a week after if came out, Also coming out 2013, Thor 2, Iron-Man 3, and possibly Captain America 2, though, they could wait with Thor 2 and Captain America 2, until after Iron-Man 3, and maybe 2014 Avengers 2. This is all a guess, but I did hear Iron-Man 3 is coming out 2013, summer. 

I give, The Avengers, 9/10

The Three Stooges (2000 TV Film)

Moe, Larry and Shemp are best friends trying to catch a break by doing there "Stooge" bits at local bars, eventually the three do catch break, wasn't soon after that Shemp didn't feel right about doing it, and after filming there first short, he left. Later Moe and Larry went around trying to find the third Stooge. Not long, the duo found Curly, after shaving off his hair and beard, The Three Stooges were born. The three kept filming shorts for nearly twenty years, when a stooge passes, he's quickly replaced. Soon a 2nd stooges dies as well, and a new stooge is added. Moe is getting a suspicion that there not getting paid as much as they should, and starts questioning, trying to convince Larry they should go to a different company. Not long after, the head of the company dies, The Three Stooges are no longer able to make any more shorts, and just retire. I remember seeing this on TV a very long time ago, in 2000. 12 years later, Sony finally decides to release this film on DVD, and arrives in my mailbox. This film did have good acting, although, since it was a TV made film, it wasn't the highest quality of films. Another downfall is that, the actor, Paul Ben-Victor played Moe, though he did do a good job at it, I think he would of played a better Shemp, as he look more like Shemp than Moe. Evan Handler played Larry, and out of the five Stooges they had, he was (to me) the best actor who played a Stooge. Michael Chiklis played Curly, and now, Curly is by far my favorite of the Stooges, and while his performance was good, it just didn't feel as if he was giving the film his all, plus, he couldn't nail the voice, as his voice is lower. John Kassir played Shemp, he did a fairly decent job as him, nearly nailing the look and voice. Although he didn't have much screen time, maybe around 20 minutes total. Despite the few bad things, this was a pretty good film, I liked the style on how it was made, showing Moe 10 years after he retired, and showing his life now, and going back and forth with flashbacks of when he was just joining, and the hell he went through during it all. The movie also had some very dark and depressing scenes, when ***** died and **** also died, was just very sad in the film. This was just dead on with accuracy, and if your a Stooge fan like I am, then you really should watch this. I give, The Three Stooges, _7/10_ IMDB link! My Twitter!
