Movie night - June 4th, 2011

I went to see X-Men: First Class. I thought it was really well done and here are my thoughts:
1. Why no 3D? A lot of the effects, especially the ones for Havoc and Azazel would have been much cooler in 3D.
2. They cast January Jones as Emma Frost. Her eyes are lifeless. They show something once through the whole film.
3. I love me some cameos. You get Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Rebecca Romjin as a horny Mystique and Ray Wise from Twin Peaks as the Secretary of State.
4. Some big names; Kevin Bacon and Oliver Platt. (I may be stretching for that one)
5. A lot of names we will hear more from; James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne and Zoe Kravitz.
The story may have veered a bit on some points setup in the other films but it all made sense. I would recommend going and just cross your fingers there isn't a cranky toddler up way past her bed time two rows behind you.
