Kingsman was good besides Sam Jackson's character. He was horribly written and SJ couldn't do a lisp right.

I overlooked his idiotic character for the most part. I actually caught him breaking his lisp a couple times in the film.

Chappie - 3/10

What a disappointment this film was! They advertised it as this action packed, futuristic, robot film with Hugh Jackman in it. A quarter of the way through it I was thinking this will eventually get going. It actually got dumber as it went on. Apparently the producers expected you to pull for the ugliest, criminal characters they could find on planet earth. I swear someone posted a horrible rap video in the Movies/Music forum with this chic in it that actually starred in this film.

The only positive aspect of this film was how spectacular and realistic they made the robot look and move. This movie had so much potential to be awesome and they absolutely ruined it.

Haha, I can see why people wouldn't like the direction the film took but I liked it. I really enjoyed the characters you speak of. Also, the chick is Yolandi Visser. They both should have been in the video you speak of, they have a ton of them. I don't know which video you're talking about but the criminal couple that starred in the film is "Die Antwoord" the South African rap duo. If you've seen their videos then you know their onscreen performance in Chappie was rather mild. You can't tell me you didn't enjoy it when Chappie learns to be a gansta. Haha, I was rolling.

I looked it up it was "Baby's on fire" video.

I did laugh a little at that part but I resisted for quite a while in the hopes that his creator was going to come back and take Chappie and actually make an interesting movie with him.

Nothing changed the fact that that chic is literally one of the ugliest people I've seen though. :)

Chappie is a 90 minute Die Antwoord video. It definitely had it's moments, but most of it was a big bag of "meh".

Jurassic Park - 4/5

Getting ready to hopefully go see Jurassic World tomorrow. I thought I would revisit the originals and see them for the first time on Blu-ray.

Its still as fun watching this as seeing it the first time as a kid. Although maybe fun isn't the right word as it kinda freaked me out as a kid.

The only thing I noticed on Blu-ray is some of the CGI doesn't hold up as well. The scene that I noticed it the most was when we first see the Brontosaurus shortly before the famous "Welcome to Jurassic Park!" line.

I actually enjoyed some of the Blu-ray Special Features better than the film. Particularly a fairly long several part featurette on the making of the film with new interviews from cast & crew. One interesting surprise was that I didn't know that the featured actor in HBO's The Pacific was the same guy who played "Tim"!

WHY IS EVERYTHING IN BOLD?

Haven't seen TLW in a very long time so I can't speak to that one but I rewatched the majority of III when I woke up way earlier than my wife while on vacation about a week ago and I caught it on TV. It was absolutely atrocious. That thing should barley get .5 of a star.

Jurassic World - 4/5

I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the nods to the original. I thought there should have been more of nod to John Hammond than the name on the wall. A prominent statue or something would have been better. I really liked the kids coming across the original visitors center.

I didn't think Chappie was bad. Its biggest problem is it couldn't decide if it wanted to be a kid's movie or for adults. I thought the ending was really cool. That ish is the future.

Champs was really good. It's a doc on Netflix about Holyfield, Tyson, and Hopkins.

Tyson's transformation as a person is pretty amazing.
