The FITS Awards: 2010

So, I realize that the summer season has a good two weeks left to go, but, I'm already at college, and the nearest theatre requires catching a shuttle that only runs once on Wednesday, and once on Saturday. Also, I'm making new friends and shit like that. Movies can wait for a little bit. So, I'm presenting my Fun In The Sun Awards a little early this year, as summer, for all intents and purposes, is over for me. Like last year, we have a bunch of categories, all a part of the Best and Worst type, with your usual Best/Worst Film, Action, Comedy, Direction, Fun, Sequel, New Franchise, etc. and so forth. So, with out further ado, let's go!


Before we start the ceremony, let's review the summer as a whole. I said in my Iron Man 2 review that I had high hopes for the summer. Those hopes were not realized. Movie goers were consistently disappointed with the offerings at the theatre this year. For every Inception or Toy Story 3, we had a Jonah Hex, or a The Last Airbender, or a Salt, or a Robin Hood to go with it. Granted, the best films of the summer were so friggin' good that it is not a total waste, but, compared to the last two summers, which offered plenty of top tier films, Summer 2010 was lacking.

Alright then! Let's kick this off!

Gamers of the World: REJOICE!!

The "Almost Dead Zone" is in full swing right now my friends. Sorry about not posting anything last weekend; I was embroiled in my school's One Acts Festival. I was directing one of the plays, so, I kinda had to be there. Mine was sort of a parody of heist films, that saw a group of incredibly incompetent people attempt to rob a bank. It was apparantly very funny! But, I digress; where were we? Oh, right! "Almost Dead Zone". So, yeah, nothing huge has been coming out lately, nothing to really write home about, but, I'll be honest, there has been some stuff worth checking out. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is such a film. At long last, after years, nay, decades of waiting, we finally have a movie, based off a video game, that doesn't suck harder then Mega-Maid! Is it spectacular? Hell no! Is it awful? Not by a long shot! What we have is a well made piece of popcorn that is marred by a dumb script and some hammy acting. But, in no way does that spoil the fun.

Dastan suddenly realizes that he left his effective armor at home!
