X Men - First Class

I never read the comics so Im not THE person to talk to about x men. I like the movies for their sci fi environment and coolness.
In this one I liked the begining approach. The starting of something that you already know is gonna be big is appealing and it intrigues more somehow.
The story: Charles Xavier a young proffesor, starts to form a sanctuary and a school for "ordinary" people with special abilities. With the help of his new best friend Erik (Magneto), he launches a battle against a powerfull mutant who tries to destroy the world.
Although none of the original cast stared in the movie it has lost none of its potency. Maybe people like it even more inspite of that. It already has a rating of 8.0 on the web.
My rating 4.6/5

The Lincoln Lawyer

Matthew McConaughey plays a sleazy defense attorney Mick Haller. He never loses and never feels gulty about a case until a client involves him in a murder. An excellent crime-drama in which we get the best McConaughey has to offer. I never liked him as an actor and I always casted him aside because of his stupid roles in chick flicks, but I remembered the other day that he played a leading role in U571, a war movie from 2000 and he was great.
The Lincoln Lawyer puts him back on the first line of good career picks.
Other stars in the movie include Marisa Tomei (George Costanzas favourite) and Ryan Phillippe who did good as a psycho killer. I would recomend Lincoln Lawyer to anyone who like to get involved in the story.
Rating: 4.5/5
