X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) Film 18?/50

This movie was better than X-Men: First Class (which, if you read my review, you know I enjoyed with the exception of the horrible objectification of the female characters). My only problem with this film is that Anna Paquin received higher billing than Ellen Page. If I were Page, I'd sue. Or use my time-traveling powers to go back and renegotiate my contract.

If you haven't seen it yet, what's stopping you? If it was January Jones in the first film, don't let that worry you. And the supersonic stuff is gone, too. So...yay. 

Now get to a theatre.

Doctor Sleep and Friends Books 1 & 2/50 and Movies 9 to ?/50

I've been neglecting this site...AND I'VE BEEN READING BOOKS! Okay. Not a large number of books. But I finally got around to finishing two of the four I started back in January.

Book #1: The Design Method
I will write a proper review of this book to post to goodreads.com (in accordance with the agreement I made with the kind lady who messaged me and offered me a free copy in exchange for reviewing it). I will link to it here once it is finished.

Book #2: Doctor Sleep
The sequel to The Shining. If you haven't read The Shining, read that one first. And watching the Stanley Kubrick film doesn't count. He took some serious liberties with the book. Both the original book and the film are worthwhile for your time. And Doctor Sleep ain't too shabby either.

Movies #9-?
I have to admit that I've lost track of all the movies I have seen since last posting about Monsters University. There have been numerous. Not enough to complete the film portion of the 50/50 challenge. But a decent amount. A few that I can recall off the top of my head: Anchorman 2 (although I wish I hadn't), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (mmm....abs), Thor: The Dark World (I'm rooting from Loki from now on), Man of Steel (or did I post that one already?), Frozen (only 3000 times with my nieces since the end of March), Upside Down (aka, 107 minutes of my life that I'll never have back), and Olympus Has Fallen (because why not, Gerard Butler?). So that brings me to at least 16. I'm sure there are more though. I'll post them as they come to me.

So there's the update. Hope it was worth it. Olympus Has Fallen definitely wasn't.
