…Well, I suppose claws really but who can really know for sure!

Went to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine over the weekend, what an awesome movie! Apparently it only got mediocre reviews and I really don’t understand why, I thought it was very well put together and kept the storyline moving forward. I’m sure there are many people who followed the comic-book characters and could probably find flaw with a number of things but for myself, someone who never followed X-Men before the movies were made, I found it to be riveting and went a long way to explaining the history of Wolverine. I thought the love/hate relationship between the brothers was very interesting to watch unfold and Liev Schrieber really bought complexity to that role. Overall I say very well done to the makers, I haven’t enjoyed a movie this much since The Dark Knight (Batman)

May looks like its going to be a great month for movies. X-Men this weekend, Star Trek this coming week then Terminator at the end of the month!
