My Vague Review of X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Well, I just saw X-Men: Days of Future Past and I have to say, IT'S AWESOME!

It was a great story that came together with a multi-cast of folks. I was worried about this film, but it came through. I really enjoyed it.

I can tell you more, but I will do it in my vague, bullet-point review style.

• The future is bleak as f**k!
• The future scenes were sad, but great. The way the captured the rawness of the future was breathtaking
• Storm was utilized in a way I greatly appreciated
• The Future Sentinels were deadly and awesome to watch
• Blink stole a few scenes
• Not everyone survived X-Men: First Class
• Hugh Jackman has a great butt! It's so nice to marvel at
• Even Peters is so adorable in person (Live Q & A)
• As Quicksilver, he was perfect. I had my doubts, but he was a scene stealer (Time in a Bottle)
• The young Xavier and Eric plane scene was sublime
• Mystique's character was interesting to watch. Her growth from First Class to this film was solid
• In some ways, X3 never existed
• The mix of the past and future scenes were right on
• Goes by very fast for a 2hr and 14 minute film
• When Wolverine wakes up... Priceless
• Surprises
• Someone is on the rise (after credit scene)

In all, solid film! I will see it again!

My Review: Lady Gaga's ARTPOP

I just listened to ARTPOP, Lady Gaga's latest release. There are 15 songs, which are very interesting and yet, all the same.

So, I thought I'd give a vague review.

• A lot of the songs creative and interesting to listen to.
• However, all of them sound like you are trapped in a Gay Arcade backroom.
• Sexxx Dreams is the best song on the CD.
• Swine was too much. It was all sugar and no Kool-Aid.
• Some of the songs were waaay over-produced, when I think of ARTPOP I think of simple, creative beats and lyrics, not Mad Max Machine sex.
• Fashion sounds a bonus track from the Fame album.
• G.U.Y. was a cute song.
• The overall theme of the CD was too gay anthem-ish. I was hoping she would mix it up a bit.
•  Donatella could've been left on the chopping block.
• If she was going to make an epic album, she should've followed the real ARTPOP album, Purple Rain. That's ARTPOP!
• In fact, I wish she worked with Prince on this CD.
• It's too electronic, tone it down a notch.
• Dope is a good song.
• I needed heart in this CD, I didn't really get it from most of the songs.

In all, it's a decent CD. I wouldn't buy the whole thing, but a couple of songs are enough.
