Hmm… this is kiiiiiiiiiinda one of those flicks where you got the “ high lights” from
the trailer… I mean it’s a FUN movie.. but the best parts were for SURE in the
previews.. I laughed my ASS off watching the previews.. but when t he time the flim
finally roled around those jokes were a bit stale.



The movie DID have some other pretty funny parts, and its DEFINATLEY worth a
watch, but you may want to bypass the $10 Box office rip off.

Fun characters, witty dialogue, that one kid micheal cena? Is just GOLD man..
everytime he’s on screen im always laughing, Jack Black was really good also..
he’s not really an “ actor” in my opnion though he’s some dude.. that you throw in
a movie and will GURANTEE you laughs… you know? That’s like his personality.

The movies also got a great Jud Aptow style natural delivery, kinda pokes fun at
some biblical refrences ( which everyone seems to be okay with) , but all in all it’s
a descent flick and DEFINATLEY worth checking out!

See it with your budies or w/ your girl on a date!

4 outta 5!

The Boy in Striped Pajamas: The Review

This is the first movie I’ve become interested in, and seen JUST by the movie
poster alone. It’s a suuuuuuper interesting concept. Its this boy who lives next to
a Jewish Internment camp. And he be-friends a Jewish-boy his same age who
lives in the camp… the two have play dates through the fence. Its super sweet,
and horrifying at the same time. Really a solid film with a lot of interesting ideas.

There were a couple of things I wasn’t feeling however:

I would have liked to have seen the two boys have more screen time together. I
mean that IS the main premise of the film right?.. but nooo they’re all talkin about
the mom and DADS relationship, the sisters budding Nazi interests, the gardner,
the maid.. all this other kinda stuff.

Which is fine, I mean it really helps give you a good sense of the social-climate of
the time, but to be personally invested in the film, and the main character you
NEED to have him be on screen more, get in tune with his thoughts and ideas a
little better. Independent films always think they’re so cool… like to leave things
up to the viewer with as little assistance as possible, which leads a few scenes to
move a bit slow, or a bit dull at times.

But forreal… I mean.. usually when u put to kids together on screen its REALLY
charming like dennis the menace, or home alone?.. but who ever wrote this movie
out wanted to keep the kid humor REAL simple and accurate…. so its like.. ughh.
BORING.. have you ever REALLY watched 2 eight year olds talk?.. and not NOW
with PS3 and Poke-mon im talking about 100 years ago

BORING!

So that also made it hard to feel for the main characters, or ANY characters for that
matter. But regardless of the lack of character interest or development the over all
film is well done, the lead character/ little boy was EXCELLENT such curious and
blue eyes, its like “ you KNOW he’s going to get into trouble”.. all in all it was a
good movie.



I would have down played some of the background charactesr rolls, got rid of
some of the “ administrative tasks of actually MOVING to a new place, and
adjusting to the new home part of the story, and just FOCUSED on the bond
between the two

I mean.. the reason Titanic was so successful was NOT because of the sinking
ship, not the stories and feelings of everone on the ship… but the relationship
between leo and ehhh… Kate Winslet? ( I think that’s her name)

So if they focused on THAT part more I think this movie would have been a SMASH
hit as opposed to a net flix possibility.

Eitherway I’d say check it out , just a really clever and intresting social commentary:

3.5 stars

Defiance: The Review

Its one thing when you have an Action Movie, where the antagonists are a Wiley bunch of tough looking, slick dressing, gangsters from an undisclosed western European country who wants revenge on America for Being Free; and the only one who can stop them is a handsomely aging Bruce Willis.

“WHOOOO ISSS DEEEEEES MEEEESTER VEEEYLIS YOU SPEEEEK OFFFF”?

It’s quite another to lift something right out of the pages of history to develop an action film around.

And to TOP it all off.. its actually based on a true story… well according to the movie it WAS a true story not just based on a true story… sooo.. yeah?.

Now if I know movies ( and I like to think I do) 9 times out of 10 the phrase “ based on a true story” allows the film to suck under the precedence of “ these are based on true events, we wanted to stay true to the original characters maaaaaaannn… I like to get highhhhhh man!!.. and keep the integrity of a story intaaaaaaaact BROOOOOoo”.
……okay….

Anyways…

That’s completely fine,I mean your movie could have totally used a talking dog and a lady with a prosthetic machine gun leg.. but I DIGRESS!!

Anyways…. This movie really sorta met in the middle, it had an interesting undertone of community, like how do you start re-building a civilization in the middle of the woods?

How do you protect a small band of Jews from Nazi’s Germany? And how FAR do you go to keep them safe?

And what do you do if someone threatens to bring your infant community down with anarchy?

I guess the real question is “ How Can we live like animals, but we will not become them”

Because there are certain military stratedgies that are barbaric yet necessary in times of war. So what do you do when common sense aligns with necessary
murder?

I don’t know.. and I thank god I’ve never been in that situation, but the movie poses some interesting moral dilemmas, along with some pretty cool and moving action sequences.

Unlike movies of the mid 80s to early 90s when the good guy meets up with the bad guy for the FINAL show down…. And says something cool like “ I take my coffee extra black”

Whaaaa?!... Mc Garnagle?!... I thought you were dead!

**machine gun fire explosions obligatory NOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo I’ll get
you MAGARNAGLE **as he falls out the window and CRASH Lands on his
OWWWWN solid white Cadillac Limosine ,

while the protagsinst smugly remarks “ looks like he needed a lift”

… oh man!.. that WOULD Be awesome….



Ehhh.

Anyways!

What was I talking about again?

Oh yeah!.. so this movie doesn’t necessarily have that cheesy need to statisfy its
viewers through revenge, I mean he DOES but its more UN settling and realistic
than anything else.

I guess, its hard to make an action film AND value human life, and this film does
just that. I guess as its precedessor “ saving private ryan” demonstrates, and
Hollywood often tries to convince us otherwise: War is Not Cool.

And this film does a great job of expressing that idea, along with some other
interesting notions.

DEFIANTLEY an interesting film as a history piece, as an action film, or simply
something for you to mentally chew on.

See it with the fellas, hyperactive kids, and maby even your chick if you don’t
possibly mind her getting mad at you for “ never wanting to get a movie YOUR
interested in”

B*tch after BrideWars you don’t get to CHOSE NO MORE!

But forreal though 5 stars!

*** oh btw… I haven’t watched like.. the last 5 minutes of the movie?.. buuuuuut
I’m pretty sure it won’t make a big change in my review, unless something
awesomely cheesy happens:

*bad guy gets his head cut off*:

looks like he couldn’t keep a cool head

he had a good “ head “ on his shoulders

looks like he WASN’T at the “ head” of his class.



LOL.. I gotta write these down… ( or just watch Austin Powers again)

Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter

Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter



So.. I’m not gonna lie… I’m not really even SURE what a “ black freight” is.. so usually when I hear a movie with a title im not sure about.. I always assume.. “ meh this is going to suck”.. that plus I’d never seen any previews or commercials for it.

HOW EVER… I did see the real watchmen movie?.. so anything you cosign that title on.. im SLIGHTLY interested… Apparently its supposed to mimc the actual Watchmen story form a “metaphorical stand point” but if that’s actually true its WAYYYYY over my head.

So I pop it in (that’s what she said) expecting I don’t not that much?.... but man.. was I wrong..

Super cool visually detailed and decently fluid animation, overly disgusting subject matter ,complete with a creepy horror undertone.

Just really something unique and fully engaging. What makes it all the more fun is the fact that the narrator has this epic Edgar Allen Poe feel.

“as the feathered beasts plucked the earths dough feasting on mother earths curious indignation”

…… oh?.. you mean that pigeon eating bird seeds?

……………”yes”

I don’t want to give away too much but lets just sayyyyyyy its kidna like “Cast Away” with Tom Hanks meets pirates of the Caribean, But with more twisted violence then both Kill Bills put together, and smart enough to trip you out like the Matrix!

………… okay.. I may have over sold it…

But its DEFINATLEY a good movie… the box say an hour and 40 minutes?.. however when I was watching it.. it felt like….. 40 minutes tops… I dunno maby I was just super interested? Or maby the basic story was overly simplified; or MABY the box just lied?

Eitherway… definatley check it out with your buddies, ehhh.. I wouldn’t really recommend watching this with kids or girls.. as the violence is absoultley horrific. And YOUR going to be responsible for sitting up with them all night

Isn’t it funny how cartoons are good for 2 things?.. .little babies? And horrible violence that would be difficult to reproduce in live action sequences?

…. I dunno.. EITHERWAY

Def 5 starst

DEF checkit out!

**ohhhh!!!.. you know wha?.. I just realized why it was only 40 minutes… I only watched “ the black freighter part.. theres another part called” under the hood”.. which I didn’t watch.. DAMNIT NET FLIX.. next time you tell me EVERYTHING!!!!

8 Blaring Inconsistencies from Michael Jacksons Thriller

I promise I’m not one of those guys who sees the glass half empty, but thriller has been ALL OVER the place recently..
I guess I just have a couple of “inconsistencies that I thought needed to be addressed”

1.)In the Beginning of the video, it’s Michael in his car w/ some chick right?.... like.. WHY would you be hangin out w/ some chick when there is a full moon out and you KNOW you’re going to turn into a WAREWOLF? Why not explain that you’re horrendous situation during the day over a cup of coffee?

2.)In the beginning of the video Michaels GF is super scared and asks him to leave the movie with her, and he obliges, but the thing that’s weird.. is he’s IN the MOVIE!.. if I was in a movie and MY girlfriend wanted me to leave?.. I’d be like.. uh… HELL NO B*TCH!.. I’m STARRIN in this movie!!.. talkin about turnin into a ware wolf and everything!.. why don’t you ever notice the positive accomplishments in my life!.. instead of always getting scared…. Like when I killed that spider last week.. I think we need some time apart

3.)After they leave the theatre.. the 2 walk for hella blocks… um.. Michael… I KNOW you haven’t racked up all your sales for the “thriller” record at THIS point... but off the wall was no JOKE... Why COME YOU DON’T HAVE A CAR!

4.)So we all know the situation, Michael Jackson turns into a zombie and starts dancing around… HOWEVER, I’m not gonna lie, he seems to look a bit more like Frankenstein? Is the lead choreographer of a zombie dance troop a being created of old zombie part? I would expect him to be LESS coordinated as opposed to MORE so?

5.)How come Michael’s shirt is all ripped up when he turns into a Frankenstein-zombie hybrid? It’s not like he dug himself out of a grave that he had been chilllin in for the past 40 years? (ps that’s a NICE jacket)

6.)How that one zombie came out of the sewer?!.... did he die down there?.. wasn’t he wearing a suit and tie? So by this logic, a man with a suit and tie died in the sewer only to NOW be awoken?

7.)When that chick runs into the house…. How come one of the zombie comes through the floor boards, I don’t see how zombies could have such intricate knowledge of architecture?

8.)How come when Michael turns into a zombie, his jerry curl remains perfect?

UP: The Movie Review

“UP”: The Movie Review

Lets get one thing clear…. Disney Pixar makes SMASH hits. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Cars, Wall-E, Bugs Life?!... you CANNNNOT hate!
Now before I get into anything I want to make it cleeeeeeeeeeeeear!
I saw this movie in 2D, I wasn’t fortunate enough to catch the 3D option.. sooo….
Yeah.

Anyways.. the movie was really good: fun, interesting, entertaining, and creative.

But I don’t know.. I honestly thought Toy Story, Cars, and a few others were
legitimately just FUNNY MOVIES.. but this one?.. I don’t know. Not so much?

I think I have my lack of humor pin pointed to the way the film just started off with
such a heavy / serious although charming feel, it was just sorta hard for me to get
up outta that mood and appreciate some of the other comedic offerings the movie
attempted to provide.

Im not tryna give away too much.. but all I wanted was for that old man to FINISH
WHAT he STARTEd.. F*CK all these CUTE Characters, goofy do do birds, fat
asian kids, and talking Dogs…. You CAME HERE TO DO .. what you CAME HERE
TO DO!.. and THAT’S FINAL!!... DO YOU HEAR ME!! DO YOU F*CKING HEAR ME
OLD MAN!!

*sir can you keep it down… my 3 year old is crying…. And stop cursing…… and
put your shirt back on*

………

Anyways.. defiantly a good movie, im sure its better in 3D… I feel like the film really
utilized the sky-scape as a really important special effect of the film, unfortunately if
your only operating in a dual dimension PLATFORM you totally lose it.

Im going to give this movie 3 stars bc not only did it not make me laugh as hard as
I thought it would, it actually made me really sad, and no matter how hard the film
tried after that.. I couldn’t get into it….

That and I saw it in 2D

If you got some kids, or even someone that you REALLLLY love… check this out,
just be for-warned some parts of up can be a reaaaaaaaal downer ( oh snaaap!!..
I didn’t even mean for it to sound like that)



-Holla!
