Fantastic Four Needs Another Reboot

I have seen all of the Fantastic Four movies. The Roger Corman one, the terrible ones with Captain America as The Human Torch, and the latest one starring Creed and Whiplash. Out of all of them the Corman one is the closest in tone to what I'd expect from a FF movie. Yeah, I know there's a rubber arm waving at the end which is funny no matter how many times I see it but its still a better movie than the others. Strange considering it was made on a budget of $1 million while the others were $100 million, $130 million, and $120 million respectively.

One of the screenwriters for the last FF movie that has been trashed by everyone but I liked more than most recently talked about making a sequel for it. “We didn't make a good movie, and the world voted, and I think they probably voted correctly. And you can't make a good movie every time out--not everybody does. We actually have a pretty good batting average, all things considered. But I think we made many mistakes when we made that movie--mistakes that we learned from and we wouldn't repeat” Simon Kinberg said in an interview.

Theater Whore: Automata

Automata 2/10

Well...that was a movie. Automata is about a guy that works for a robotics company that is trying to figure out why they are acting in ways they shouldn't. It looked like it would be a cool movie from the trailer but, wow, this movie was dull. If it were a show you wouldn't watch it. It just drags, is far too predictable, and there is nothing original about it. It stars Antonio Banderas, Dylan McDermott, and Melanie Griffith who stops in for some coffee. This movie is an idea that cold have been made but not executed. The director and writers (which he was one of) had nothing to say.

DVDiculous: The Campaign

I finally decided to watch The Campaign after allowing my hatred of Casa De Mi Padre die down. You see, I like Will Ferrell. He’s a funny guy to me and I will watch almost anything with him in it. Zach Galifianakis on the other hand I can only take in very small doses. This movie has some parts that had me crack up laughing and others where I wished they would hurry up and start punching more babies. Yes, that happened in this movie. That baby got rocked! Ferrell plays Cam Brady who is running for Congress in North Carolina’s 14th District. He has won four times in a row and no one even goes up against him. He’s a total dick who sleeps around with any woman that looks at him. Oh, and he is married with two children as does Huggins.

After accidentally sending a voice message to thousands of homes instead of the woman he is sleeping with the Motch brothers played by John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd decide to use a former Congressman’s son Marty Huggins to accomplish their goals of moving sweatshops from China to North Carolina to save on shipping costs.

They assign Tim Wattley played by Dylan McDermott to give Huggins a makeover. They get rid of their pugs because they’re Chinese and give them two Labradors. They give his wife a haircut and completely change the house. Wattley is one the best parts of the movie. He is a fucking lunatic. There's a scene where he catches the family having fun and has to shut that shit down.
