By the time I finish this article it'll be more than a day too late to be relevant, but I don't care! I'm drunk and surly and you're gonna sit down and listen to me, dammit!
Best Film
X-Men: First Class
The fact that I reviewed this movie at all is a sure sign that I enjoyed it. I rarely bother to see a movie in theatres unless I'm already excited for it (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was one pleasant exception), and if I'm excited for something it usually turns out to be great because my first impressions are almost always right. Sometimes I wonder if maybe I'm just suffering from positive bias, but then I remember Resident Evil: Apocalypse and how shitty that turned out even though I was looking forward to it. I vividly recall sitting in the theatre, watching as the nuclear missile was soaring toward Raccoon City, and thinking I just realized that this movie is shit. I guess I'm not a god after all.
X-Men: First Class is an example of my better judgement. After that fat moron Brett Ratner ruined The Last Stand and then some other no-name jerkoff managed to make a movie about Hugh Jackman as Wolverine suck festering anus, I was justifiably worried about the future of the X-Men film series. But if there's one thing that First Class has taught us, it's that mutants are dangerous and need to be detained, or maybe it was something about how good (capitalism) always triumphs over evil (January Jones's pasty white tits).
