things are looking up

I've been a little down recently due to how quickly this year has disappeared and my lack of enthusiasm for anything in particular. However in recent days a number of things have provoked excitement for 2013!

(**SPOILER** they are movie related)

I love me some action movies. Cowboys, aliens, zombies, Bruce Willis, good, bad, I don't care. I recently rented Battleship and I am not ashamed to admit that I frickin' loved it.

So you can imagine my excitement when this was released last week.

STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS

The dramatic music and the ominous voice over, combined with screaming and the return of Chris Pine and his disproportionately large head, leaves me salivating for more.

That was until this came along....

MAN OF STEEL

Trying to make a Superman that can be taken seriously is a terrific plan. Casting a handsome beardy weirdy in the title role, genius.  

I'm pretty sure I also spotted Rusty Crowe, so my ticket is already purchased.

Well, that was my thinking until this appeared.

PACIFIC RIM



This gem appears to combine the likes of Jurassic Park, Iron Man and Prometheus into one giant ball of awesome.

Idris Elba, you just cancelled my apocalypse.
