Red Tails

2012-01-28T20:04:00.000-08:00

Just like that!!!!

Red Tails. Ok, if you haven't seen the movie, then you might not understand the title. Its because they paint the tails of their planes. I don't like it when they name a movie after a insignificant parts of the movie. But the movie it self is actually good. First I'll talk about the movie it self. Then my experience watching the movie. Lastly I'll give you my very important opinion, because I now how much you adore me.

Red Tail is about a group of African American pilots during WW2. They talk about how bad they are treated by the white pilots and their struggle to the top. There is a lot of in air action, but just as much boring, unnecessary moments. It begins with the group patrolling the area. When they find some enemies, they show their personalities that you can easily tell apart. That is the intro, later when given the chance of the life time, they help a lot of bombers during D-Day. This is not a chance to blow.

There isn't much to say, but I don't like it when people clap during the movie. For instance,
one of the guys who was thought to be dead comes back and every one claps. I'm thinking "SHUT UP!"

Over all, good. I think you should wait for it to go on DVD and rent it.

Brides Maids

2011-12-07T11:39:00.000-08:00

very funny

So this is self explanatory, there is going to be a wedding. I thought it was going to be a chick flick but I had seen some of the clips on TV and i like Kristen Wigg in previous movies, so i dragged my dad and brother out with me.

So, really, this was awesomely funny. Nasty, raunchy, and funny, funny, funny.

After seeing it, I learned that Kristen Wigg wrote it with one of her friends.

Five***** out of Five stars!!! you will not regret watching this. But maybe not while you are eating?

Captian America

2011-12-07T11:30:00.000-08:00

                          Things go BOOM!

                     As a young man during World War 2, Steve Rogers wanted to serve his country by going to the front lines. There's one problem... Steve is a very little and weak man. But a scientist pick him to be in a special project because he has a good personality, or inner strength of some sort.

He becomes a good PR device for the war and gets to wear some special Stars and Stripes gear on stage promoting the war effort, until, one day, he becomes a man of action.

Then he goes and tries to destroy an red alien death mask looking guy that found a magical box that can erase anything of the face of the earth. So Steve and a team of soldiers spend the rest of the movie hunting down and destroying anything that the bad guys build.

I did not expect much from this old comic book story, but I was very impressed with the wholesome 1940's stereotype and love interest angle mashed up with great special effects.

Great spend of a couple of hours i give it 4 out of 5 stars.

****4 out of 5

Shutter Island

2011-09-24T20:37:00.000-07:00

Leonard DiCaprio plays an U.S. Marshall who with his partner is investigating a disappearance of a patient at a metal hospital for the criminally insane on an island call Shutter Island in the 1950's. Leonardo's character notices that strange things are happening. Well, strange for a mental hospital anyway. He has been having strange dreams and strong migraines. Something is going on.... Leonardo's character served in WWII and believes that the hospital is doing the same as the Nazis did. That is, playing with people's brains, literally. Strange things are happening... unexplained things. Leonardo's character is seeing his own dead wife.

When looking for an answer for well, everything, he losses his partner. Every one around Leonardo says that he never had a partner. He goes looking for him but finds something different...something he didn't expect. What was at first a regular missing persons case has become something much more surreal.

An interesting thriller that will keep you guessing until the end. Leonardo is excellent. He always is. It's a lot like Inception. There are clues in the movie where you can figure out what is happening before they reveal the truth. A lot of people said that they didn't like this movie, but personally I think its pretty good. Not as scary as I hoped, but still good.

I give it a 4 out of 5.****

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2

2011-07-21T00:17:00.000-07:00

YAY!!! No school!!

This movie takes place right were we left off from the previous movie. Right when Dobby dies. Like we were in a year long commercial break!!! So if you have a poor memory, watch the first half again before you come see this one or else you may miss something.... 2 minutes in and there engulfed in action. As you know... or should know. Harry, Hermione and Ron are looking for horcruxes. You know, when I put it like that, it sounds very lame. Trust me... it's very cool. This movie had no noticeable hole in the story. If I think of anything I'll post it. There is one thing that might be wrong or I'm mistaken. It'll be in the spoiler section.

I know that I said that the first movie wasn't very good. This is a TOTALLY different movie, it resolves everything and while that seem obvious, the way the director does so is very rewarding to all the viewers.

There is a lot more action and suspense than part 1. They did cut out some parts from the book but the lack is not noticeable. So yeah... great! But even the greatest things have flaws. I watched Harry Potter in 3D. I was thinking the battle would be even cooler than in 2D. But instead, it wasn't very 3D. No... it was totally blurry. When I had the glassed on, it was blurry. When I took the glasses of... Sometimes it was more clear. What I mean to say is to not pay more for a fuzzy film. Watch in 2D for best effects. This brings me on to a pet pieve re 3D.....with the glasses on, dark scenes are too dark....work on it please before it becomes a fad.

*****SPOILERS*****

What I was talking about was when Harry was trying to get in to Bellatrix's vault, how did the guards know that Hermione and Ron where imposters? I may be wrong here, but check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.

Transformer: Dark of the Moon

2011-07-10T22:10:00.000-07:00

                                                   The sharpest possible living creatures.


                            As you know, this is the third movie of the Transformers franchise. Although I thought that the first few two movies where alright. Unlike this new money milking movie. I admit... in 3D this thing was amazing and they did it right. Trust me when i tell you that you have not seen a good 3D experience until you've seen the worm like transformer eating the skyscraper. That scene takes like 20 minuets. Sadly, that's how you can tell they were all out of ideas. After about what seemed like ten minutes of building munching i was thinking, "hurry up all ready. I want to get on with my life."

     Anyway, the action ways pretty cool. There are two things I don't understand. First, how the auto bots can slash through the bad guys when the bad guy can't touch the auto bots. But suspension of disbelief i think assumes that the good guys have better alloys in their products.

                                                              ****SPOILER****
When they have to shoot a teleporter, and they have the shot, they don't SHOOOOT. They say that they need a better shot... they spend half the movie looking for a better shot. Finally, Optimus Prime...from the same spot, uses a rocket launcher from his wrist, destroys it, I guess it would have cut the movie by an hour so they drag it on a bit. Good for the Special Effects team at Lucas, they got a big payday, nice!

Super 8

2011-06-19T23:55:00.000-07:00

One Question... Why is it called Super 8?

Answer, one that the producers forgot to sort, is that is the type of film....of course anyone younger than 18 wont know of this because who uses film anymore......anyway, In a small town in Ohio, six kids film a horror movie for a contest (on Super 8mm film). When doing a scene at the railroad tracks, an old pickup gets in front of a passing train. That little truck did some massive damage as we get a spectacular train crash that almosts makes the kids just supple meat bags.

The kids barely survive. After the crash, things start to disappear. Engines, microwaves, dogs and people. The military are all over the town. Some people are asking questions. No one knows what's happening.

I really thought that this was creative, original, exiting and just plain good. I didn't count on it being scary. I'm not saying I was terrified, but it was startling. It's good for any one. 4 and a half stars. Pretty good.

Thor

2011-05-14T22:02:00.000-07:00

Thor = Bore

                  Hey, hey, hey, look what we have here. some dude with a hammer. Happy days! But really, I mean, come on!

Thor starts a war by attacking ice giants and is banished.
He goes to earth and is one insane jerk.
A scientist picks him up, not knowing who he is and where he comes from, which is really, really not smart.
What if he was some criminal and steals all your stuff?

Anyway, stuff happens and Thor's brother tries to kill him. I know it sounds like I'm skipping things but really, I'm not.

Be warned I will start to put spoilers at the end of the reviews so you don't have to spend your hard earned money for torture.

                         If you are a fan of Thor ( I'm not) you might like this. If you are a normal person, then...how do i put this...you would most likely rather be spending your money on something that is worth your time. so long story short, don't even bother. 1/2 stars out of 5. That's right, that bad!

*SPOILER*

So what happens is:
Thor falls in love with the scientist.
The robot does some property damage but Thor is not killed.
The brother kills himself.
The portal from earth to Thor's place is destroyed and Thor is sad he can't see the chick.
Thor becomes king.
Done.
Now you know and don't have to waste your money.

Source Code

2011-04-23T16:30:00.000-07:00

You really have to be clever to understand Source Code.

     Source Code is a lot like Inception but I think that this movie is way better. If you are a huge Inception fan and don't believe me, go and see for yourself. Inception takes a long time to explain, but Source Code is a lot faster and more interesting. From the first...what...45 seconds to 60 seconds, its interesting. From there it gets better and better. It really makes you think about what's happing and why. I was totally engaged the entire time.

            Like I said, this is awesome!
When you think one thing its most likley not. 6 out of 5 stars. I'm sure that at least 98% of CLEVER people will like Source Code. Not much else to say but for your own sake PLEASE WATCH. You will not regret it. I went and there where only seven people in the theater. I really counted 7!!!!!!!!!!

BATTLE LA

2011-03-25T12:13:00.000-07:00

Terrible Name, Bad Story Line, Amazing Movie!!!!!!!!!!

...... I am not kidding when I say POSSIBLY THE BEST MOVIE OF THE PAST 2-3 YEARS!!
The reason of the awesomeness is 1) Great graphics 2) They move the camera enough that it looks like someone with a camcorder went with them. 3) It is so action packed.

I have never said this but I would love to go and watch this movie again.

Battle LA is where its at. If you haven't seen it, you have something wrong with you and you should go to the doctor or watch BATTLE LA. I can't say enough good things about this movie because the entire thing is awesome. When people say that they were at the edge of their seats, they mean excited beyond just passively watching a movie. When I say I was at the edge of my seat, I was literally on the edge of my seat. Not kidding!!!!

I'm going to rate this totally without hesitation, Six ****** out of five stars.

That's right six out of five, When your done reading this review and you still won't see Battle LA, please leave a comment of why. Its OK if you will watch it eventually but you MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like a friend said " a boom bang die movie".

Green Hornet

2011-01-20T15:23:00.000-08:00

   LA TIMES
   The Green Hornet is at large! He cut of his fathers head, well a statue's head. Rogen Reid is the evil master mine behind every thing but no one knows like every other super hero. He has the coolest sidekick ever, Kato. The first crime they did was what I said before cut of that head but when the were running away they meet up with some bad dudes and Kato destroyed them. That's when they said we'll pose as villains but be hero's. Then they go on a rampage.




   This is full of action and comedy. It is awesome probably because its not like super man where the super hero can't lose and the beat up the bad guys. But the Green hornet is not bullet proof or can't climb flat walls. What he has is a knock out gun and one amazing car. I love this movie so I rate this at FIVE OUT OF FIVE!!!!!!!!!!! Every one should watch this.=)

Season Of The Witch

2011-01-13T15:21:00.000-08:00

   Beware!! The plague is all over!! That what this movie is all about. So Nicolas Cage and his buddy Ron Perlman are some awesome Templar knights that at the beginning, but after killing some nice people, they left to do some goodness. But they were found and well, there deserters they thought that they would be sent to death. Instead the king who had the plague wanted a "witch" destroyed. The reason is she caused the plague. (See, I told you that the plague is important) And the rest you will have to see the movie to find out.



   Surprisingly, I like this movie. I did not want to see this. Mostly I honestly don't like Nicolas Cage, but this movie is an exception like National Treasures. He did good and, well made this movie awesome. So bravo to all who made that movie possible. RATE ******** FOUR STARS. PS, SORRY THAT THERE IS NO PIC.=/

Harry Potter 7

2010-11-27T14:41:00.000-08:00

I have been holding this one out because I am very disappointed with this movie. I have read the book many times and loved it but, this is not the book I learned to love. They cut so much and still it's two different movies with a year in-between. Don't get me wrong, the acting in great. Daniel Radcliff is a great actor, so is Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Ralph Fiennes, and Alan Rickman. All of them are great, but most of the book is gone, for example, the camping part, it's supposed to last for months but it feels like just days. Also, the Kreature interactions are almost non-existant...so we lose this piece of redemption.

We are left with getting through 2/3rds of the book, and not having a very satisfying end to the first part of the book. It is a long movie, but it feels like it goes by very quickly.....so I must have been entertained, but still I feel like it lacked something....not sure what.

Visually it is very dark and the music works to set the mood that things are not good in the wizarding world. So be prepared to feel the dread of the last episode of this amazing story.

If there was not such great acting I would give it 3 stars, but its to good so it's bumped up to 4 stars. I know that the big battle in the next movie will be awesome, but until then, I'm going to keep reading. I recommend you do the same...

Mega Mind

2010-11-12T20:40:00.000-08:00

This is the first kid movie I have seen in like one or two months. I thought that kids movies are better, The only thing that I liked about this movie is Will Ferrell (Mega Mind) and David Cross (The Fish Minion). Lots of people don't know who David Cross is, so if you don't, he is; a comedian, a actor... he is in man in black one and two. Also he is in a lot of movies doing the back round and other minor parts.

This is an alright movie if you are a little kid, but if you are like me and like the more realistic movies this is definitely not a movie for you.

RATE ----------TWO AND ONE HALF.

Jackass 3D

2010-10-27T13:02:00.000-07:00

Probably by this title, you can tell this is not a children's film, but this movie is so funny that I can't help myself from writing this. These guys are doing the stupidest stunts that no one in their right mind would do willingly and I admire them for that...not that I would ever do their stunts. They get paid for hurting themselves and I don't. If I got paid as much as they do I would probably do some of the stuff that they are doing. Also you should absolutely know this movie is in 3D... yeah! You might think "so what, a lot of movies have 3D but this... this has slow motion and that's what makes it funny and gross. Sometimes I think that they need a therapist or something like that.

There are certain scenes so disgusting, I had to stop myself from throwing up. And then they slow motion the scenes, just to see if you will heave up on the popcorn. There were a few times I had to look away to avoid the dry heaving! But I also laughed myself to tears in some other scenes.

I recommend this movie to anyone with a strong stomach, really, this movie almost made me though up 4 or 5 times. ***** five stars for the complete reactions to this film.

The Legend of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole

2010-09-26T17:15:00.000-07:00

This movie is nothing you would ever expect, this is not one of those kids movies like when two sides go into battle all the good guys demolish the bad guys. This is way more realistic. One brave soul fighting an unbeatable battle against an evil-all-powerful army, that unrealistic things are also in this but hey... this is still a kid's movie and pretty cool one. I would even say I recommend more for kids 11 year old through maybe even teenagers(15). This movie is absolutely beautiful. On the owls, you can see every little hair on the body... the little details really do count especially in awesome 3D. Personally, I liked this movie, lots of action, adventure, twists, and a great story.

Like I said before, recommended for 11-15, not something good to bring your 5 or 6 year old daughter to. But if you are older and are able to under stand this, it can really be interesting to watch. I think I will rate this movie at 4 and a half stars for the amazing work the people who made this put in to it.

Easy A

2010-09-21T15:54:00.000-07:00

                       First of, let me apologize, I couldn't find a kids movie that I wouldn't mind watching. So I did this instead, reviewing a movie that is not for kids. As you might have seen from the commercials, this is definitely not something you bring you five year old son to, but if you are like fifteen, you will probably understand this movie.

           Emma Stone has a spectacular performance as a high-school inviso-girl that no one see's until she helps a desperate boy trying to convince people he's not gay, even thought he admits he is. Yes this is real world torture the odd kid in highschool you expect. After that, things get out of hand. At first having a bad reputation seems to be better than not having one at all.

          With excellent casting and performances, I rate this movie five out of five. Recommended for highschool audiences like I said before because of sexual situations, and psychological abuse of kids by, usually other kids.. You will either get this or not, there is no in-between.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

2010-09-09T10:24:00.000-07:00

Video gamers rejoice, In the new movie Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, Scott's life is a video game when he meets what he thinks to be the girl of his dreams with seven evil exes. It looked and felt like the game called Street fighter or games like it. With seven fight scenes with seven different opponent's, the action is seven times the action of most movies. Also I have never seen a movie like this before so its very original. It felt like they asked 14-18 year olds to approve the line and then executed it with them on set! Very cool.

Every one of the enemies has a different personality. One person is mysterious and another is witty, etc, so you won't get bored knowing there will be seven fights. When you play fighting video games, you get points. In this movie Scott gets money...lucky. Like I said, if you like to play video games, you can relate with this film. I recommend this movie because it's a funny film with a twist. I rate this movie at four stars. *****

The Expendables

2010-08-21T08:37:00.000-07:00

The new action movie called The Expendables is nothing you expect and less. Directed by the man with the most screen time and the big ego Sly Stallone, there's a lot of problems. For example, one of Schwarzenegger's lines, I could not understand a word. After 42 years, 42 years!!! He still has that thick accent. I wonder if he likes the accent or something. As governor it must be hard for people to understand him.

With all of those famous actors you can see above in the poster, you would think that they put lots of money into the movie. But you can tell that they didn't when you see the special effects. The special effects are so bad that you can tell that they used a computer for the blood and gore. It's so bad and cheesy, that it is kind of funny. I wonder how much they spent on special effects? All I can say is not enough. Also the dialogue is a mess. It sounds like Stallone was really bored and wrote this over lunch. When he was done he thought it wasn't all that bad. Then he called up all his buds and said "Do you want to make a movie? I have a script." They spent most of the money paying each other rather than on the entertainment needed for this to be a movie anyone would enjoy.

With the terrible dialogue and cheesy special effects, this movie will soon be forgotten. But, with all the different actors doing their scenes one at a time, you will be very aware of how they made the movie, around people's schedules, between real work, and real errands.

This movie is not one you need to see. So don't rent it or buy it and do not spend 20 dollar to see it once. I rate this at one star out of five just for the incredible look inside stars' lifestyles and personal egos. *

Despicable Me

2010-08-11T15:38:00.000-07:00

The voices of Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, Elsie Fisher, Jemaine Clement, Jack McBrayer, Danny McBride, Mindy Kaling, Ken Jeong create the movie Despicable Me. A villain named Gru (Steve Carell) has been trying to do the heist of the century, a younger villain named Vector (Jason Segel) does something extreme... he steals one of the Egyptian pyramids. Now Gru has to top that. That is what this movie is about, competition among baddies.

Gru starts to make his plan to steal the moon. Then all Gru needs is money and technology. The problem is when he tries to borrow money from a special underworld bank, they deny his request. He needs a shrink ray. Gru learns that Vector has a shrink ray, so what do villains do? They steal. But Vector has extremely tight security so they are at war. When all fails he uses three little orphan girls to gain access to Vector's lair.

This movie reminds me a little like a combination of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and a RoadRunner cartoon. But in 3D, and with a huuuuge budget for the cast and other talent, it is impressive.

If you like evil people finding their heart, you will love this movie. I rate this movie at four out of five stars.**** Good for all viewers.

Salt

2010-08-10T20:08:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie is a C.I.A agent named Evelyn Salt. When The C.I.A is questioning a man from Russia that they suspect is a defecting spy, agent Salt is asked to interview him, because she is the best at it. During the interrogation, the suspected Russian spy says "You are a Russian spy" . Immediately Salt tries to escape from her own building with all the C.I.A. and police force of NY behind her. What happens next is a complex story of deceit, and spy activity.

No one trusts Salt, would you? She makes it look like she's a baddie herself. You can't tell if she's good or evil. First she's good then not, then is, then not for a long time, you get the picture. If you like guns, action, explosions and betrayal then you will love this movie. If you love romance, lots of laughs and happy endings, you will not like this movie at all. It is a stressful movie, trying to keep up with all the details, and remembering what happened the moment before.

It is a fast moving flick, and you will enjoy it if you are prepared to think.

I rate this movie at three out of five movies. *** May not be appropriate for younger viewers due to extreme violence.

Dinner For Schmucks

2010-08-09T11:29:00.000-07:00

Steve Carell and Paul Rudd star in the new comedy Dinner For Schmucks. When Tim, a businessman in need of a promotion learns about a dinner that his co-workers and his boss have which is a source of entertainment where they> recruit odd people to make fun of them. They call it Dinner for Schmucks,or idiots. The winner of the dinner guest contest wins the promotion. Since Tim needs that promotion, he goes and looks for an idiot.

Barry, thinking he is a true friend of Tim’s starts to get involved in to Tim's life and messes up Tim’s life very quickly. Soon they become close friends.

Great if you like comedy, heart-warming story, and strange men and incredible people. I rate this at four out of five stars. ****

Cats VS Dogs The Revenge Of Kitty Galore

2010-08-08T19:15:00.000-07:00

Chris O'Donnell, Jack McBrayer, Fred Armisen and the voices of James Marsden, Nick Nolte, Christina Applegate, Katt Williams, Bette Midler, Neil Patrick Harris, Sean Hayes, Wallace Shawn, Roger Moore, Joe Pantoliano, Michael Clark Duncan are the cast in the new movie Cats and Dogs The Revenge of Kitty Galore. This movie is about a police dog who is a little too energized to be a regular police dog. This makes him mess up...a lot.

When an agent of a dog-spy organization sees KG (Kitty Galore) taking pics of secret papers, that agent tells the Spy boss. Through a series of events,the cop dog is recruited to be part of the spy organization. This is a very typical story line we have seen many times before, so you can fill in the details here.....

This movie seems to have been aimed at people that just like looking at animals, you know the types, those that follow cat blogs, you might know a family member that is cat or dog obsessed. Yes, in fact of the five couples in the theater today, two were well in excess of 70 years old. If you don't have YouTube and like to watch cat videos or dog videos this is the movie for you. I rate this at zero out of five stars. In fact, this flick was so bad, I felt like I was a victim of a mugging. I want my 1.5 hours of life back, and the price of the ticket please.

Toy Story 3

2010-08-08T12:37:00.000-07:00

Woody, a toy sheriff and Buzz a space ranger are back for maybe the last time. Trying to get Andy who is going to collage to play with them. The Gang of toy friends made a clever plan that sadly fails. Everyone starts to lose hope because some of their friends have been given away or put in the trash. The one with the most hope is Woody, he has faith in Andy being a friend regardless of age. But when Andy tries to put every one except for Woody into the safe attic, Andy's mom, by mistake, takes them to the trash were they would go to the dump and get destroyed. Woody saw the whole thing so when every one thinks that Andy was trying to get rid of them Woody, tried to convince them that they were perfectly safe at home. He Fails. So everyone gos to a day care called Sunny Side to begin their next lives as played-with toys.

At first all the toy friends think that Sunny Side is prefect place with a perfect leader named Lotso who happens to be a pink strawberry smelling stuffed bear and they all stay there except of Woody who tries to get back to Andy. But then they find out the dark side of Lotso and the dark side of Sunny Side. My dad was surprised at this and leaned over and said, "this feels like a prison movie".

I rate this at at five out of five stars! ***** Recommended for all viewers, young and old. Great if you like adventure, laughs and happy endings. And laughing at all the different "modes" Buzz can be in.

The Other Guys

2010-08-07T17:17:00.000-07:00

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg play as two completely different kind of cops named Gambles who is very lucky in life though strange, and Hoitz a normal hero want-to-be. Somehow they are partners(they don't get along well). Their job is to sit behind a desk doing the paper work no one else wants to do while the "good" cops do the real police work of chasing the bad guys. Finally Hoitz cracks and makes Gambles go and do some "real police work". All they really do is make it harder for the rest of the detectives in the squad by messing up a very important crime scene.

Hoitz dosn't give up trying to get in the field, and tries again and again to solve a case about an investor. Soon they split up and go their diffrent ways. Hoitz becomes a traffic cop, and Gambles newly energized pursues the big case. Gambles finds something big an tells Hoitz, then they start working again(without warants or all the approval that they need, you could say that they went rogue).

I rate this at four our of five stars ****. I highly recommend it if you like comedy, action ,adventure, some very cool slow mo explosions and some really over the top special effects, awesome fight scenes and good laughs. Though I went with my older brother, there are some sexual situations that will prove to create some confusion in the younger viewers, so think about that if you are thinking of taking someone, maybe, under 12.
