Naysayers who’d all but written off the X-Men series will be re-evaluating it after 20th Centry-Fox’s newest entry in the franchise!
Producer/writer Bryan Singer wisely followed J.J. Abram’s STAR TREK example by taking the storyline to its beginning– the turbulant 60’s, the Cuban missle crisis and Cold War paranoia!
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS is set against those global events at a time before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names of Professor X and Magneto—and to when they first discovered their powers!
Back then they were actually friends. Working together with other mutants to prevent nuclear armageddon.
However they drifted apart and became arch enemies, eventually creating an eternal war between ‘Magneto’s Brotherhood’ and Professor X’s ‘X-Men!’
What we’ve got here is a first class prequel that’ll appeal to both the fan base and the casual moviegoer.
The impressive cast includes James McAvoy as Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Megneto, sexy January Jones is Emma Frost, Academy Award nominee Jennifer Lawrence (WINTER’S BONE) plays Mystique and Kevin Bacon co-stars as sinister scientist Sebastian Shaw.
So what distinguishes this film from other superhero movies?
For starters, it’s an ensemble cast with multiple characters. And each character possesses unique powers, personalities and back stories.
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, a worthy reboot of the franchise charting 3-1/2 out of 5 fingers.
Catch JACK GOES TO THE MOVIES Friday’s on these radio stations: KMBZ AM FM / Classical RADIO BACH / and the new 99.7-THE POINT.

I think I know why you keep reviewing these movies.
You don’t actually have to go see ’em. If Butler goes, he falls asleep.
Jack has figured out, he can mail this shit in. Throw up a picture of January Jones’ (Who at this very minute, is boiling some kids rabbit and stickin pins in voodoo dolls) resplendent decolletage (TKC is stealing that picture, I’m just tellin ya now, its on his blog by 10 AM), change the name of the actors and poof!!! Movie review!! Its all the same somnambulistic (see Butler) soporific shit.
These fuckin movies are a goddamn disgrace.
Spiderlatern and Superbat are out later this month.
I am starting to think I underestimated “Glitter”.
“Battlefield Earth” is Citizen fuckin Kane next to this shit.
Throw me a fuckin bone.
How about “Fast and Furious 6” is made on the fields of Agincourt, with the Cast of Henry the 5th.
Kenneth Branagh runs a fuckin pike through Vin Deeeesels gut, while screaming “This from brother critic!!!!”
Down Dog!
Chucky lay low. Having a bad day? It’s just Hollywood giving us the summer popcorn treatment. As for January Jones she’s ok by me no matter who’s rabbit she’s boiling.
Too much coffee.
🙂
BRAIN CANDY
I don’t expect much from the summer flix. If they give me two hours of brain candy so be it. This one sounds like it fits in just fine.
@chuck
Already a porno out on this one. Sex Men, First Ass.
Bought Hungover 22″ last night.
Whose Osama bin Layin’ comes out next week.
Maybe Jack could start to review porn. Call it Jack Cums to the Movies. Whadya think Jack, are you up for it?
smartman–
LMAO!!!
🙂
Jesus that fucker is funny!!! 🙂
🙂
Jack’s Off, etc.
Thanks smartman, you brought a long needed smile to my face. Those are all great titles. My favorite though remains “YANK MY DOODLE IT’S A DANCY.”
As to doing porn reviews maybe that’s something better suited for Craig—even though I admire your creative title for the program.
You may recall my ‘old’ days at KY-102 and 99,.7-KY when Tanna would intro my movie feature as ‘JACK’S OFF TO THE MOVIES’ Next. on KY…..
thanks, jack
Oooops
Title should’ve read: ‘YANK MY DOODLE IT’S A DANDY”
@jack
That’s the spirit! Thanks for the reco. I’ll put that on my list for the Fourth of July…..not to be confused with the epic French gang bang multiple personality disorder flick The Four of Julie. When Julie takes off her Freudian slip ooh la la voulez vouz couz che avec moi, me whack off!
Porn never gets reviewed from the cinematic perspective. Trust me you start reviewing porn on KCC the hits are gonna go way up. Cirilla’s will probably buy at least two grand a month in ads. Steve Hirsch at Vivid Video would probably toss in a couple more large.
Maybe do a monthly online fashion show with Cirillas, Craig and Hearne could host. Kinda of a raunchier version of Talk Sex With Sue.
I’ll even sell all the ads through my LLC Porn Again Marketing.
Baby needs shoes, gotta pay the bills.
🙂
God speed…..
