-17 Again

I did something today that I haven’t done since high school. I just saw Wolverine and 17 Again back to back (last time it was one of the Harry Potters and one of the Shreks). To start off, I really enjoyed both movies and the lead males in both movies were awesome. And there is nothing wrong with me saying that either. Oh and also, I saw this movie with Rei and Libby and they both thought that Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron were very hot. At all times. And I respectfully agree.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine: You know that this is essentially a prequel to the X-Men films right? So even if you haven’t seen any of the X-Men films, it’s not like you’ll be lost. In fact, it may just make you want to see the films before this (like it did me). This movie was just a really good action movie. Great effects. Not crazy long. Love story. A bit sad. One of the best superhero fighting scenes I’ve seen in a while. I know a lot of my friends said they didn’t like Wolverine, but I enjoyed myself very much. It was also really nice to see the X-Men story, which I’ve heard so much about, in a movie. I love the whole mutant people thing (lol). Probably not as much as my lady friends (aka Hugh Jackman, what a great body to aspire to lol). And so we’re clear, I am definitely going to watch the rest of the X-Men movies because of this movie. The movie made $87 million this weekend. Damnnn.

17 Again: First thing’s first. Zac Efron was as awesome as expected. And what a great movie to start the rest of your career with…as in this movie was so much more than just Zac Efron’s first lead role in a non-HSM movie…it was actually great! It was funny, charming, and just cute. You could think of it as 13 Going on 30 with a male lead, but you’d be doing the movie a disservice. Both movies are certainly similar, but they’re not the same. Go see it and see for yourself. Very well done. Oh and it was so great to see Matthew Perry on the big screen again. Very Chandler-y (loved it).

I should start seeing double features more often. P.S. I’m like one of the only people at my school who isn’t dealing with finals right now. Like I’m literally typing this review in the library..as I watch others desperately studying for finals, completing papers, or just going crazy. Good luck friends!
