You Had One Job: Marvel's Beast In Film


You know what's always bugged me? The way Beast was handled in the X-Men films. When those Origin films came out it was the perfect chance to clear up the mess they had made out of the other films. Admit it. The X-Men films have been pretty shitty. Don't let the fact that a couple of scenes were cool fool you. They have been bad.

Pictured up there is Beast as he originally appeared in the Marvel comics. He was a strangely built guy with agility. He later got the blue fur that we've grown accustomed to and has been that way ever since except for that time where he was drawn looking more like a kitty cat. The Beast that I am most comfortable with is the one from the animated series. He was the one I'd seen the longest and had the perfect voice for the character.

Theater Whore: Warm Bodies



This movie was the first time in a while where something happened in a movie that made me go “Aww…” Warm Bodies is the story of a zombie that begins to want something more out of his life. His not life. It stars Nicholas Hoult as R. He doesn’t remember anything about his life before becoming a zombie let alone his name. He just ambles around the city moaning and occasionally eating brains. He has a friend played by Rob Corddry who is also unnamed but called M that he attempts to have conversations with. They get out parts of words every once in a while.


In a walled off city being run and patrolled by John Malkovich they try to stay safe. His daughter Julie played by a hot version of Kristen Stewart named Teresa Palmer and her boyfriend Perry played by Dave Franco, yes, that other Franco’s brother, and a team head into the city to gather supplies since they are running low. They are attacked and surrounded by zombies with R killing her boyfriend. She doesn’t see this but during the gun battle R spots Julie and feelings start stirring up in his chest.
