X-Men

Snucked some time to blog while my bosses ain't here yet. Grins.

Well I caught X-Men III last Fri. Damn awesommmeee.... I'm officially in love (all over again) with Wolverine and Hugh Jackman. The show (again) focuses on him and though he may not be the most spectact mutant of all, he does have a cool combi of lethal claws and quick healing powers. The latter also proved to save his life and the world from Jean Grey a.k.a Phoenix.

Speaking of Jean, she's de lovely as ever. The last instalment we saw her buried among the waters at Akali Lake in a heroic bid to save her fellow team members. This instalment we see her turning humans and mutants alike into ashes in a demonic demonstration of her unstoppable dark powers.

As for Magneto, I simply love Ian McKellen. Just a week before X-Men III, I caught Da Vinci Code where he played Teabing, the obsessed academic who seeks the Holy Grail and the Priory of Sion. And a year ago, didn't we all enjoy the magnificent Gandalf who never fears evil and the dark side? Who gave Frodo precious advice when he needed direction, and throws the occasional mischevious wink? Ian just never fails to add that special touch to any movie.

Among the new characters, most hilariously portrayed was that of Juggernaut's. All brawns, no brains. Simple, brash, unstoppable. How can we do without such idiots in movies?? Also Mystique represented the femma fatale when she sabotaged Magneto. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...winks.

Tomorrow I'm catching Over the Hedge. I'm sure it's gonna be an AAWWWW-some movie. Baby hedgehogs and tortoises... here i come!!!
