Listening to the commentary on the bluray. Some cool stuff. Alan Taylor doesn't get to say too much because it's mainly all Kevin Feige and fan favourite Tom Hiddleston. I do like how that acknowledge the gratuitous shirtless Thor scene.

10th time's the charm. Sure I own the film on bluray now, and have watch the making of, but still nothing beats seeing it in 3D at the IMAX. Thanks to the recent oscar wins, it's had a re-release and this time I got to watch it with one of the animators and pick his brain about the shot he worked on. Fascinating stuff! Man this film always has a much better impact with a big screen. Wish the bluray had a commentary though.

This concept appeals to me greatly. And mixing the sci-fi with teen drama is always a plus too. While the rules of the phenomenon seem a little hazy, I really liked the things they did with it and how far some of that went. I just wished the action had bigger consequences in the end, I felt they dropped the ball a little there. But there's a lot to enjoy here.

Whoooooooah. I can't decide if this movie is so terrible it's amazing or if it goes past that and back to terrible again. It's kind of stunning. There's are plenty of very amusing moments and I just can't tell if they are intentional or not. But they certainly embraced the trashiness of it all. Good for them.
