World War Z didn't bomb but was taught a lesson from the Monsters

Amazingly World War Z posted good weekend sales and the only reason I say amazingly is because it just seems to have too higher expectations with it the trailers are filled with hundreds of zombies and of course it comes with the expectations that comes with such a huge star that is Brad Pitt. It would also seem that it has avoided the zombie over kill which has to be reaching it's limits as over the past few years there has been a constant stream of zombie based film and TV. Although it reached good figures over the weekend the top spot has gone to the long awaited Monsters Inc. sequel. Although it's said not to be as good as the first one, which most sequels aren't it still looks enjoyable, and to be honest the first one wasn't an instant hit with me and took me a couple of watches to really enjoy it, and is a nice change to the blockbuster action movies which we have seen plenty of just recently, which may also play a part as to why Monsters University in getting the top spot as people might just be looking for a break/change, that being said Man of Steel still manage to take third spot and has surely done enough for it to be deemed a success and to re-energise the Superman franchise.

Iron Man 3

It's hard to make a successful sequel in movies as most film fans are too often aware, and even harder to make a successful trilogy, but what happens if you are trying to follow the first two Iron Man films which in their own right were massive films and then The Avengers film which was one of the biggest films of 2012 the response is hinted at below in the latest trailer for Iron Man 3. The only question you have to ask yourself is how big/impressive can Marvel make a film. It looks good and has to be a film to watch in April.

Oscars Fall Out

With Oscar night over and the goody bags listed on ebay it’s time to pull the show apart or so it would seem if you read other sites, as I do. Instead of people reporting on the awards themselves, like D-D Lewis winning a historic hat-trick or Argo the film they tried to ignore (or was that just the Director they tried to ignore) winning best picture most seem to want to focus on Seth Macfarlane. Even after delivering great ratings it still wasn’t good enough for some and no wonder he has said no thanks to doing it again. It makes you wonder what people expected, the poor guy was hired to do a job and was hired for who and what he was, it’s not like no one knew who he was or what he was likely to do. If you want Billy Crystal you hire Billy Crystal. It should be about the awards, the gags and show tunes etc yeah make it entertaining but it’s been such a good year of movies and a diverse year with studios taking more risks it seems such a shame to focus on the wrong thing, and the fact is he did an ok job you cant blame the bloke for doing what he does best and is popular because of it. I say let the people decide and they did end of story, would I want him doing it every year maybe not but if you don't take a risk nothing changes and at the end of the day it’s an awards show so until world poverty is solved theres more important things in life. Congrats to the winners but the real winners are us the viewers and hopefully the studios will continue to take risks and that this year proved you can still have the big blockbusters like The Avengers but also room for a historic drama or a musical.
