Casting Slouch: Rebooting X-Men Franchise Part 3

This is the third and final installment of me trying to cast the X-Men reboot because the shit needs to be rebooted even though they are trying their damnedest not to. X-Men: Dark Phoenix comes out next year and I can not wait to not watch it. I'm not even mad that the guy directing it has never directed a movie before. Whatever. You just point and shout “Action!” right? The problem with these movies is that they are built around scenes and wondering how cool something will look instead of focusing on the story. It is hard enough just being who they are. You do not need world enders popping up in ever battle. And no one is new to the teams. They are a team al-damned-ready.

Theater Whore: The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner 7/10

Well, I'll be damned if I didn't enjoy this movie, The Maze Runner. I decided to check this out because there aren't many movies out that I want to see that I haven't already and this was number one at the box office and didn't look too terrible. Plus, I've already see the other teen movies based off of books like Twilight, The Hunger Games, Vampire Academy, and Divergent and figured that this couldn't be any worse.

There will be spoilers.

This starts off crazy. A 16 year old kid named Thomas played by Dylan O'Brien wakes up in a lift and shows up surrounded by a bunch of laughing dudes. My worse nightmare on film! He immediately takes off running before being stopped. People try to explain the rules to him as simply as possible. No one remembers their name at first, they call where they live the Glade, that big ass wall is a maze, and in that maze is death. So don't go there.
