Having recently seen the 2014 Godzilla, I agree with what Katsuro said. None the less, I've enjoyed it but it wasn't as awesome as I wanted it to be...

Same, really.  Although there were a couple of "hero shots" I guess you could call them that did genuinely make me grin with their awesomeness.  And I'm not even a Godzilla fan.  I'm hoping the sequel will have more awesomeness.

I heard the new Godzilla was too family-oriented and lacking in fight scenes.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Monuments Men with George Clooney.  It got bad reviews, but I thought it was a pretty good movie.  Despite Batman and Robin sucking monkey balls, I don't get the hate for George Clooney.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Weirdly small-scale considering the stakes, but certainly a strong film nonetheless. The sequel will apparently have more Quiksilver, which might be a bad thing (this version seems to be a small-doses kinda guy) and more Blink, which is definitely a good thing.

The film also brought back Toad for no explicable reason whatsoever. No, really. I've no idea why Toad would be in this, but there he is.

Machete Kills.  Not nearly as bad as people say it is, but also not nearly as good as the 1st Machete film was.  Also, I think Danny Trejo might have stopped giving a shit; lately he seems about as invested in his roles as Bruce Willis is in his.

LEGO movie.

It had some good jokes and some of the bits seemed clever once the actual plot started to make sense, but it didn't seem as good as some of the reviews and comments made it out to be.

I did have a childhood flashback when I saw the astronaut LEGO though. My very first LEGO was something like that, but instead of a large spaceship he just had a tiny moonrover that was the size of those lawnmovers that you can drive (in comparison to the LEGO man.)

And his helmet cracked at some point I think. And his face got smudged out as I played with the set a lot.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

It's Trejo, I know what his logic is:  Paychecks are nice.

Yep, seems so.  The last two movies of his that I've seen it felt like he was practically sleep walking his way through them (again, ala Bruce Willis).  I guess he knows he doesn't need to give a fuck anymore: he's Danny Trejo and he knows he'll keep getting work because he's Danny Trejo.

Arguably, every movie he's in is improved by his presence.  Sure, he doesn't give a fuck, but he makes whatever he's in entertaining.


Also, as to the topic, I just got back from watching the new X-Men movie.  Days of Future Past was pretty damned good!

From my own experience with him and seeing what he's interested in, the guy isn't exactly an auteur. He has a love for schlock, B-movies, and indie gorefests. Stuff like Machete or Grindhouse (as well as tough Latino thugs) are basically his zone. It helps that these are films where a lack of acting doesn't really get noticed.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

My uncle met Trejo a couple times and said he was hilarious, very non-serious and self-deprecating. Basically, he's perfect for those types of roles.

Days of Future Past. I was (predictably) annoyed at the time-travel logic, but a fun movie overall.
