Come on. Push Me.

I'm back. As I'm sure you all know, this blog has come to a screeching halt as of late. And what is to blame you ask, the shitty movies that come out in January and the lovey-dovey February ones still to come. Right now the only movie I'm interested in seeing isn't out until March, and that film is titled Watchmen, but I digress.

Now, to pass the time I went to see Push. I must say that being Chris Evans looks like fun. He gets to beat the shit out of people and sleep with the hottest girls.

Back to Push. For those of you who don't know, it's about people with special abilities aka super powers. There are a few powers that make little or no sense and a few that would just suck to have. I mean I wouldn't tell anybody that when I scream loud, glass breaks. I think that would normally be a given.

Push, however, is not all that bad. It's action is entertaining and the exposition never really slows down the pace of the film. Granted the "why" of the main objective is never really explained and as always in a film like this, a couple of holes in the plot are very apparent.

For the general movie-going population, they will find this film to be dumb and most likely a wast of their time. With any film involving superpowers, magic, or vampires if you can't suspend your beliefs for 2 hours, why are going to see the film in the first place?

For lovers of the Superhero genre (such as myself and my counterpart on this site) we will enjoy the film for what it is, but all of us will leave the theatre with the same thought, "I could have made a movie like that so much better;" and therein, as the Bard would tell us, lies the rub.
