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

still from days of future past
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.

X-Men: First Class (2011)
Film 1/50

magneto the dentist...is it safe?

So who knew that Magneto could have been a dentist, right?

This film helped answer the myriad of questions I had after seeing the other four X-Men films. Questions like...How did Professor X come to procure that snazzy wheelchair? What's the deal with Magneto's fabulous, telepathic-proof helmet? And of course, why does Mystique hate the binding feel of clothes so much?

Granted, the movie certainly left enough questions unanswered to provide an excuse for a prequel sequel. Like, what's the deal with Magneto's accent and/or lack thereof? Why do pig farmers and tailors drink their beer so awkwardly, and in synchronized awkwardnessity at that? These questions will haunt me for at least...wait, what was I talking about?
