I just saw the movie Chronicle earlier today during the matinee. It doesn't have any stars in it (the only person I knew was Michael B Jordan from Friday Night Lights and The Wire) but it was a damn good movie.

It's a essentially about three guys that find a weird cave in the woods and it gives them telekinesis and the power fly and control anything with their minds. It's different from most super power movies because instead of using their powers for good they act like teenagers would in real life and dick around with their powers and act like ass holes(scaring people in a store, lifting up girls skirts etc). I won't spoil the end because it was on of the best action sequences I have seen in a while. They also had some of the most believable special effects I've seen. Anyone else check it out or going to see it?

Let me further explain why I enjoyed it so much.

1. The acting, for nobodies, was definitely solid.

2. Unlike most "superhero" movies, these dudes aren't instantly trying to save the world or something. Their powers are used weakly at first, and then they slowly explore their abilities further.

3. The character progression was great.

4. Instead of doing ridiculous things like saving little children from getting hit by cars or some Spiderman sh*t like that, they do things that normal teenage boys would do.

5. It slowly builds up to the point in the plot that twists the movie around, instead of barreling into it without reason.

6. The special effects were very solid.

7. It will make you want superpowers. Trust me.

The special effects are what sold it for me. This film had a budget of $15 million and it had the most seamless F/X's I've seen in a while. It was a really solid movie. I loved the last action sequence had a great blend of emotion and action, I wish it would have ended differently.

Some of the people I saw it with said they wish the ending wasn't so huge, and that the entire movie was more about them messing with people.

What I told them is that the movie's progression worked so well. Like the ending had reason, it wasn't just something that happened because the director/writers said so. Although it was a huge, drastic ending, it worked with the movie.

I think it would have been better if it would have ended more abruptly (highlight for spoilers) have the movie cut to black after Matt stabbed Andrew with the spear from the statue. Maybe show him flying away but I didn't like the whole "hey Andrew you weren't a bad person love you see I went to Tibet anyways" ending.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
