The Internship

ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE

Went to a free screening of the "Google" movie.  I probably laughed a handful of times throughout the entire movie.  It was too predictable and after a while, Vince Vaughn gets to be very annoying.  And while I'm a fan of Google, it was Google-overkill.  I even wondered if they produced the movie too.  Definitely a plane movie.  

Iron Man 3

ZONED OUT IN LAST 15 MINUTES

First off, I do not enjoy Marvel movies.  They are all action with little to no subplot and 1-liners.  I much prefer the "Dark Knight" series over "Avengers" and whatnot.  Or maybe I'm just old now and want a little more substance to my movies. I did watch this in IMAX 3D and after watching "Pain and Gain" last week in the "small" theater, it was shocking to go back to IMAX.  I think it'll be hard for me to watch a movie in a "small" theater again just because you could literally have 90% of that setup at home.  IMAX 3D however would be much tougher to replicate at home.  So anyway, I did stay awake during the movie, and I think that's because I've been using these free coupons for drinks and so the caffeine in the Coke Zero, the coldness in the theater, and the not-the-most-comfortable-seats are keeping me awake.  I did zone out in the last 15-30 minutes thinking the movie was a bit too long for my tastes and I hope the movie ends really soon.    And of course the people with me loved the movie; I much preferred "Oblivion" over this.

Pain and Gain

ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE

Oh man, this movie was baaaaad.  I thought it would be an action packed Michael Bay movie, but it wasn't that action packed, wasn't funny, and dragged on for way too long.  There were about 30 people in the theater and at the 1 hour mark, 4 people smartly walked out.  I considered walking out and was pondering if I could get a refund because the movie was so bad.  At around the 1:30 mark, another handful of people walked out.  That's when the wife started beginning to get restless, and I started to look at my watch every 5 minutes.  I think I was more angry at the fact that I didn't fall asleep through this awful movie.  I kept thinking about the time I walked out on "The Brothers Grimm," and how I should have walked out at the 1 hour mark.  So just avoid this movie like the plague!  Btw, Marky Mark had to have used steroids to prep for this movie because he was ripped!

Safe

FELL ASLEEP

Most of you don't know what this movie is, and 3 months from now, I won't either.  Anyway, as I was going through my movie library last night, the box cover caught my eye - Jason Stratham!  And seeing as how I really enjoyed the "Transporter" series, I figure I can't go wrong.  Fifteen minutes in, I was thinking how much I liked Jason Stratham over other similar looking action hero guys (whose names elude me now.)  Plus it also starred a genius 12 year old Chinese girl.  Movie reminded me of "Rush Hour 2" minus the laughs and "The Professional" minus the grittiness.  Anyhow, that's when things got bad really quick.  I realized the movie wasn't really that good especially since the bad guys weren't top name bad guys.  C'mon, that's the guy from "Gossip Girl!"  And that's the last I remembered before I fell asleep.  Feel free to ignore this movie.
