Film 265/365, Day 291/365 – X-Men 2

Easily the best of the X-Men films in my opinion.  It’s got lots of Wolverine being particularly angry and Magneto at his best.  The story is far stronger than the first film and don’t even get me started on the third one!  A good action film with more than just action.

Synopsis:  When a mutant attempts to assassinate the President of the United States of America the X-Men quickly track him down.  However once they find him he has no recollection of the incident or a significant period of time before that.  They must track down who is behind it before more damage can be done.

Film 164/365, Day 169/365 – The Box

Thriller and haunting and almost four stars, if only the ending was better.  There were moments that were exceptional but I just still can’t get over the ending, and Cameron Diaz’s accent, which may well have been good but just sounded ridiculous.  Good, but could have been better.

Synopsis:  A couple are woken early in the morning to discover a box on their doorstep.  When they open the box there is a wooden device with a button locked under a glass dome.  They are told that if they press the button they will receive one million dollars but someone they don’t know will die.
