Chronicle Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:24:00 +0000

This movie is about a few kids that make a discovery and find themselves with the power of telepathy. The film is made in the style of Blair Witch but with much cooler shots. After all they can move that camera anywhere they want with thier power. As their power grows they find themselves on seperate paths, leading to conflict.

When I went to the theatre I was expecting a different movie. The realistic approach taking with the movie didn't upset me. I really enjoyed the show. The plot realy managed the drama in order that the film wasn't overwhelming to guys. The plot line is depressing but true to the course of life and is warranted. I would recommend this movie for adults and teens alike.

Mediterranean Grill Review, Chesterfield, MO

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 03:37:00 +0000

Alright, I have a very mixed review. The food is good. Atmosphere is horrible. Beer selection needs a lot of help.

Our appetizers were Moroccan Cigars and the Dips n' Spread Sampler Plate. There was not impressed by the Moroccan Cigars. they tasted like fried Mexican food from Casa Gallardo. They weren't as bad, but I have to admit I was talking to a friend and he thought they were great. The Dips n' Spread Sampler Plate is a must. I didn't care for the carrots but every other spread was awesome. The pita bread was soft and a little sweet. The dips and spreads had very clean simple flavors.

For our entrees we ordered the Moroccan Peas & Meatballs and the Lamb with Apricot and Prunes. The Moroccan Meatballs left a little to be desired. If I hadn't been told these were Moroccan Meatballs I would not have known. Just about anybody will like them. I would consider this a safe dish for the picky eater. I had potatos as my side and they came with a wonderful surprise. Onions softened in chicken broth. I loved them, they were mildly sweet and salty. The softness of the onions hits the taste buds just right. A warning is that visually I couldn't tell them apart from the potato, my first bit was confusing but I knew I liked them right away.

The Lamb was splendid. I was really worried that the sweetness of the fruit would over power the dish. Again, I was delighted by the mildly sweet touch. The fruits are mushy, which can be a turn off to some eaters. Also, there are tendons in the dish. Most people will discard this part of the dish. Don't, it is the best part. Get used to odd textures, you'll often find that is where the best flavors reside.

I have it on the same friend that the Gyros are not to be desired, that is partially due to the fact we lunch at the Gyro House on Delmar. Additionally, if Taziki comes with what you ordered have something around to mop it up, maybe with some of the pita bread from your appetizer.

For dessert, we shared the Creme Bavaria. It was really good even if it was pre-made and strayed from the traditional dessert. It is served in a martini glass. It is a layer of chocolate followed by creme and bottomed out with caramel. I would change the desert by offering more layers, adding brandy and firing the top.

Now on to the atmosphere. The place is a cross between fine dining and a picnic. There is very limited space in the restaurant. They don't have a foyer or hostess stand. A table sits right next to the front door, and I got that table. Lucky me, this would have been annoying if they were busy. They also have the soda bar right near the entrance, some of this stuff needs to be moved to the back to make way for a space to greet customers. The tables appear to be setup very nicely. Black table clothes, candle lighting diverts to silverware wrapped in napkins and plastic chairs.

Finally, the beers are all very similar, Hoegaarden Blanc, Stella Artois, Bud Light, Bud Select and Budweiser. Really, get some New Castle that would really complement the food. The International Tap House is right down the street, go get some suggestions.

The price for entrees range from 14 - 20 bucks. There are cheaper sandwiches and the like. from about 7 - 10 bucks. I'd say that the overall value is very pricey. The portions are a bit small and the atmosphere literally almost kept me away before I even went in the joint. All in all I would go back. I think it is interesting place and there is a lot to be said for being interesting.

Oishi Sushi Chesterfield Valley

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 03:39:00 +0000

Alright, this is some place I frequent. I have been to both locations, the other one is in Creve Coeur. I personally prefer the one in Chesterfield Valley, which also has Hibachi. I've only been to the sushi side though. Now there are two dishes I really like. The first is the Tempura Udon bowl. This dish is a soup with udon noodles, crab, scallions, mushrooms and the broth is crazy good. The second is the tempura fried ice cream. The title does the dish justice. I get all giddy like a girl just thinking about it, damn good.

I typically, get the lunch sushi deal as well. I recommend the Futomaki roll and to be honest I mix it up a bit when it comes to ordering Sushi. All the rolls are good as well as the sushi a la carte.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is contemporary asian in a very relaxing way. The bathrooms are clean, and there is a little foyer leading into them that actually smells good.

The prices are reasonable especially for lunch. Additionally some options on drinks and food are also available as the people who own the restaurant are Thai. Well this place is a routine for me and I welcome anyone to make dining here a routine of their own.

Dunken Donuts Return to St. Louis

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 16:23:00 +0000

There were none now there are three. I personally have been to the one on Manchester Rd and the one in the airport. Who's gonna buy a plane ticket to get to the Dunken Donuts in the Southwest terminal though. Well my wife constantly is trying to drag me down Manchester to get some iced coffee, and trust me it's not even close to my house, but I go, reluctantly.

Now I have to admit that I am not a great fan of Dunken Donuts, but to the people that enjoy them, they are a great joy. For that I am happy to see Dunken's return to St. Louis. Not that I really remember them from when I was younger. On my visit to Dunkens I ordered a caramel iced coffeee and my wife got a frozen vanilla bean mocha.

She thought what she ordered was too sweet but she loved my drink. She ended up drinking mine and I finished half of what she ordered. She is already planning our next trip. Welcome back Dunken.

Carl's Drive Inn in Brentwood

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 13:16:00 +0000

The hamburger explosion is the newest fad in the food industry. We are seeing "Five Guys Burgers and Fries", "Smash Burgers", "Chi Burger Chi Burger" and hoards of other hamburger joints sprout up all over the place. All of these places have one thing in common. They are trying to emulate a past time, but these places will never be authentic enough to capture the nostalgia of a time past. There is a jewel from time past called Carl's Drive Inn and guess what? It is a quick shot down from the Galleria to Manchester Rd. Taking a step in time to enjoy one of the best burgers in America does have some cost. You'll have to pay with cash, but they have an ATM so it's not too bad.

The style of the restaurant is most similar to a horseshoe bar with out the "U'. You can't walk from one side to the other. There are about ten seats on each side so watch the rush hour, because Carl's is popular. The decor has a truth to it that can't be duplicated. When your there you can tell it's from the fifties without a bunch of fake memorabilia attaching from every angle. A lot of the appeal comes from modern magazine articles touting the dining experience at Carl's. They modestly whisper were good, were not going anywhere and we know it. This place is the epitome of a good burger and the American attitude.

To drink you'll most likely have to get a root beer. There is a barrel atop the counter containing IBC, which screams "You can't resist by syrupy goodness". It's evil, because I drink enough to get sick every time. I hope I will learn my lesson one day, but it's not looking good. I am going back this Sunday with my grandmother.

When I went one day and ordered a single because I was going to sushi a little later, they compared their burger to Steak and Shake. Their burgers taste a lot better but they are flat. It is more like their way of saying order more than a single. The cost for a typical meal will set you back about $6 not including tip.

Suntrup Nissan South County Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 02:52:00 +0000

I will never buy a car from any Suntrup dealership ever again. The fact that J. Buck promotes this place tells me he is most likely an asshole.

I didn't know it at the time but everything they said was a lie. The sales people were tremendously immature. During the financing process they were dry humping the Heisman trophy that was on tour and being displayed at the dealership.

People have told me that I got a good deal but I feel ripped off. I hate my car and when spending that much money the pride you take in owning something shouldn't be stripped from you. I would have rather spent two thousand more dollars and felt better about my purchase. I honestly think they stuck it to me during financing. They told me the bank required some sort of strange insurance and when I talked to the bank they said that wasn't true.

I can't believe this place is still in business. I just hope it closes. Maybe car manufacturers will read this and stop use them as a retailer. Due to them I will never buy another Nissan. The buying experience was that bad.

Twist Wildwood Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 02:32:00 +0000

The short of it is that I would recommend going to Twist.

One of the latest crazes hitting the market are frozen yogurt bars. The biggest are FroYo and Pinkberry but I have only been to FroYo. I will use FroYo as the basis for my comparison. I personally liked the frozen yogurt and toppings (wider variety) more at Twist than FroYo.

The great thing about Twist is the layout of the topping area. There are toppings on the wall and at a two sided topping bar. This relieves the bottleneck that occurs at topping bar. It also, creates a shopping type of experience because you can browse without people stacking up behind you. No rush just the toppings you want. No hesitation about back tracking and upsetting the flow of a line.

The downside to Twist is the decor. It simply isn't up to par with other FroYo bars. It was darker than most and the modern look seemed half-assed. In addition, there was a visible pile of boxes in the back because it is being used as a makeshift storeroom.

B&B Wildwood Movie Theaters Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 18:47:00 +0000

I recommend this theater. I say that because I am about to complain about a few things.

Alight, the main thing is the Marquee Suites. To start I went up a number of times and it is hard to catch a movie in the suites. They need to develop a better way to let you know when to come see a show in the suites. I went to this theater five times before I could catch the movie I wanted to see in the suites.

Overall, I liked the Marquee suites. I like drinking, and having a place to set my drink. I don't like that you can't take drinks into movies not in the Marquee area, that sucks. Just give me a plastic cup and let me be on my way, Galaxy in Chesterfield does.

The location is great. The setup of the theater is awkward. I do not like buying my tickets at the concession stand and the automated ticket machines were broken twice. It tells you your card is declined, but really it is the machine. This really pissed me off the first time because I made a phone call to my bank.

After complaining about the improvement they need to make I will say this area is the best date spot. You can either walk to this theater or walk around once you get there because it is in a very scenic area. Table three and the Wildwood hotel (in case you plan on drinking not cheating) are right across the street as well as Indigo Joe's. A little further away are Twist (yogurt bar) and Coldstone creamery. There is also a little sushi joint or hit up Dierbergs for some sushi to eat outside. The only thing to improve this are would be to have a picnic area somewhere.

X Men First Class

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 18:39:00 +0000

Why? The problem I had with this movie is that it is inconsistent with the other movies. I could forgive the run in with Wolverine. I could easily look past that, but when you have inconsistencies like Magneto's helmet surprising Professor X in a later movie I am going to have to pick up on the shit that just fell off the writer's pen.

To some extent the movie was fun. If you are not nerdy like me, you should enjoy this flick. There are a lot of cool scenes. Some of the mutants are not that entertaining as well. I do have to say this movie almost inadvertently gives a great back drop on the Beast. For that alone it is worth seeing.

I recommend seeing this one in the theater but for the hardcore among you, expect a few disappointments.

Hangover 2 Over the Top

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 18:33:00 +0000

This might be a sign that I am getting old but I thought Hangover 2 was over the top. I thought the first movie was tastefully indiscreet. This made the first Hangover funny. The second one slapped trani penis in front of your face and half of the script was a variation of the f-word.

I thought the crack dealing monkey was pretty funny and there were a few scenes that cracked me up but overall it sucked. The reaction to events and the way people responds to the movie was also unrealistic. The story line was horse shit to say the least.

I wish the first one stood alone as a classic. The second Hangover is stinky taint.

Tron Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 04:49:00 +0000

Alright this is a tricky one my wife loved and I was a bit bored. I thought it was like a half assed matrix. There was also a character like Mr Mistoffelees in the movie and it pissed me off. To do a little more bitching the founder of Tron was too much of a poofta for me to respect. There were some cool parts and affect but overall it wasn't worth the price of admission. It is worth that my wife now likes to pretend her car is one of those motorcycles. It makes me laugh every time she hits the gas yells "Tron" then weave through traffic. I should video tape her.

Wall E Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 22:33:00 +0000

This movie sucked. It was about commercialism, pollution and big fat lazy Americans. Another propaganda movie for liberals to make more of that what is actually produced. I feel the headache already.

Well this is a movie about a little trash compacting robot. It wasn't really very cute at all. While on earth it develops a personality and after some time falls in love with a plant seeking robot named Eve. They then try to re-introduce that fat American consumer to the simple joys of life like walking. Empowering isn't it?

The nemesis is a evil super robot following the final orders condemning the earth as doomed. Despite the new evidence suggesting otherwise, a plant, the super robot is bent on thwarting the efforts of the captain, Eve and Wall E. If you want to see it waste your money. That is up to you.

Wanted Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:48:00 +0000

The previews actually help this movie out a lot. The premise is stupid as the previews demonstrate and there are a lot of outrageously unbelievable scenes. This lowers the expectations of the audience enough that the movie is actually enjoyable. I am a bit disappointed that these movies are appearing to be Hollywood's next take on entertainment. First Jumper now this. I think the idea is to compete with the comic book industry. After sitting through this your a loser now a superhuman killing machine type of deal I was longing for the next Shawshank Redemption.

Well back to this film. There is one thing that will blow you mind once seen, and the action that is taken by the heroin is just mind boggling. The end really ticked me off because for a bunch of assassins, the people are a bunch of dumb asses. This movie is entertaining all that being said. It is always fun watching cheesy scenes of people getting blown away. They spent a little too much time with the training of our newly formed assassin. They could have also exploited the scenes with his former life a little more. That would have been great. That part was funny. Keep in mind dentistry when your watching this movie for a good laugh. There is a real subtle joke.

Unfortunately, for Wanted is most people will use that word in reference to seeing this movie. There are too many good movie in the theatres right now to go see this movie. I can't wait until I get a chance to see Wall E. That movie is reserved for my girlfriend. I narrowly avoided having to see Sex in the City so I am going to make sure she gets to see this with me. The good thing is i am looking forward to Wall E, it looks like it will be good. If you haven't scene Get Smart that is still my top pick. To close I have to say that I am a bit confused about the title of Wanted. I don't know what that word had to do with the film. There wasn't a major theme with the police. Maybe it had something to do with the rogue assassin.

Good Luck Chuck Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:00:00 +0000

A lot of people will want to buy this based on the fact that it is one of the best rated R films ever as far as boobs and sex. They show a lot of action. I didn't expect that and frankly I didn't want to see it, and I am not opposed to these types of scenes in films. My thing is that the amount of nudity blind sided me and it stunk because I was in company that made me feel uncomfortable.

I really wish the film would have indicated that there would be this type of humor. It definitely shouldn't have been R rate. NC-17 would have fit this film nicely. It really aggravates me that this movie got the rating it did. I was using that to gauge how risky it would be and it went way over the rated R edge.

Now saying that there were some scenes I laughed at despite the extreme awkwardness. I think it would have been funnier if I had watched it in different company. Now that you've been warned about the film you can make an informed decision. The cover is illusive and I would recommend staying away on the ground that the makers of the film are deceptive. Call me what you will.

Just remember to me this is not a moral issue in as far as the content but more for the fact the film presents the illusion that it is something else. I wouldn't even consider this a romantic comedy it was so sexually graphic.

Get Smart Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:18:00 +0000

This is by far the best movie in the theatre this weekend. Try to avoid the previews they let on to too much of the film. This movie was a riot. There wasn't a single part that wasn't absolutely funny.

Steve Colbert really pulled it off in this flick. The Rock did a great job as well. I was kind of surprised with his performance in a lot of other movies he simply annoyed me. He does always have the same style about him, it is just that it worked for this film.

I also, liked the fact that Steve Colbert's character was believable. The transition between dork and super agent made sense. He had to work hard to get where he was and it took him many years. The one disappointing thing is that there weren't a lot of hot chicks. I guess this was somewhat of a refreshing departure from the Austin Power and especially the Love Guru. Only so far as the cheesy names go.

Well this is my top pick for the movies this weekend and I am going to half to call it as the topic pick for next weekend as well. I will probably see Wanted but that looks pretty retarded. I can't remember whether Tropical Thunder or Hancock will come out but the only one of the two that stands a chance is Tropical Thunder. Then again Jack Black with Ben Stiller may end up being a nightmare. They have show a bit too much in previews from what I can tell.

I know everyone who goes to Get Smart will enjoy it, this is definitely the safe bet. Once, again this movie is a riot. I'd probably be best off if I just saw this one again.

The Love Guru Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 20:44:00 +0000

I thought this was going to be Austin Powers with a slight India accent and I was pretty much right. As a matter of fact, it was exactly what I thought it would be it was funny. I was kind of surprised. Mike Meyers pretty much stuck with his trademark and somehow it worked.

I will say there were a lot of parts that I didn't find funny at all, but overall the movie was definitely worth seeing. The acronyms the Guru always used were almost unbearable, but the hot chicks in the movie more than made up for the fault. I think most people will like this movie.

Well I have seen another movie first so I can give the breakdown of what to see in what order. That is if you want to see a lot of movies. I would say check out Get Smart, The Incredible Hulk, The Love Guru and then Zohan.

The Incredible Hulk Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 03:32:00 +0000

Go see this movie. I honestly thought it was going to be a bomb. I was disappointed that it wasn't a continuation of the previous movie or at least a half attempt. It does after all leave off where the last one started, but they changed out the crew. They also, tweaked the storyline from the previous movie quite a bit.

The whole hunt for Bruce Banner thing really did this movie a lot of good. The fact that this movie focused on Ed Norton saved it. Liv Taylor was horrible she is simply to dry. I don't know whether she is acting or imitating Secret (the deodorant). It sounds crazy but other than Ed Norton the acting really just sucked. The guy who play Emil Blonsky did okay but his character was still really cool.

The best part of this movie was the ending. I am really excited about the next few movies that Marvel gets to control and put out. They have really done a great job. They have managed two great hits in a row. They simply get what the audience wants.

The Happening Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 03:24:00 +0000

Alright this movie really really sucked. Guess what that means? Spoiler!!!!! First I will tell you this movie is scary. There were a lot of scenes that were really spooky, but it did get a bit boring mid way through. The scariest part of the movie is that it was a literal piece of propaganda shit. Excuse my language.

Basically, because the plants (aka earth) feels that we are a threat they begin to release toxins into the air that makes us commit suicide. Thousands of people die. The whole movie culminates into a news piece at the end that states: the earth is mad at us and we better watch it before the EARTH STRIKES BACK AGAIN.

Well my recommendation is to go skip this one. The Incredible Hulk offers a great surprise ending. It was really good. Again, stay away from The Happening at all costs. I will admit it's entertaining, but it is also liberal propaganda out of control.

Movie Review Forgetting Sarah Marshall

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 03:15:00 +0000

This movie was practically ruined in the first ten minutes. They literally let loose a five minute crotch shot. Now it is important for the idiots who made this movie to know that it is important that the audience finds something funny. Not that you find something funny at the price of the audience. Remember who buys the tickets.

Other than the crotch shot this movie wasn't bad. I thought it was funny, but it is a romantic comedy. That means you will probably feel a little uncomfortable for the five minutes she views some other guys schwang. She'll probably feel uncomfortable as well. When private areas are being viewed the movie better be a little more than R rated if I am too view it with me lady.

Well, skip this one. Get it on DVD and fast forward through the break up scene. Like I said other than that the movie is pretty good. Sorry, about the long overdue review.

Kung Fu Panda Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 22:05:00 +0000

This was a really good movie. I do have to say it would have been a lot better without Jack Black as the lead. I don't find the guy funny at all. His comedy consists of acting like a really dorky kid and that sums up his whole routine. My imitation of Jack Black, "The awesomeness of skidoosh". Wow, that invokes non-stop laughter.

I am going to have to be careful though because I think I am the only critic that will slam Jack Black. I am sure he has a lot of fans, but he only seems to be able to act like a grown up retard. Okay, okay I'll stop.

The movie was really good. I found myself laughing a lot. There was a lot of comedy and a lot of the character's names were actual Chinese word for the animals they represented. My girlfriend kept asking me to recall the names of the animals by the names of their characters. Interesting fact for you guys.

I would say the movie definitely hit upon all the points necessary for a kids movie. It had a good message, it kept their interest and it is poised to sell many toys. Adults will find this movie entertaining and funny but a lot of the underlying humor in movies like Shrek went missing. I want to also think Dustin Hoffman for redeeming himself after the Mr. Macrap's Wonderful Turd Emporium.

This movie is definitely my top choice for the weekend. That is if you haven't seen Iron Man.

Don't Mess With the Zohan Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:22:00 +0000

I know that most people are not going to enjoy this movie but Adam Sandler actually did a good job. I have to admit that I didn't get a lot of the jokes but I knew enough to still appreciate the movie.

There are a lot of ethnic jokes that most people aren't going to get. For instance, dipping everything in hummus. I think you really need to appreciate the culture to like the comedy. I obviously don't but I still liked learning about some of the different things.

I will say that Adam did go a little to liberal in this movie. I don't like the fact that he put everything on corporate America and bible clenching rednecks. I don't think he wrote it though so I am going to give him a bit of a pass. If he starts spouting off at the mouth too much in the coming months then I am going to treat him like are good buddy Johnny over in France.

Well I strongly suggest that most of you skip this movie. I didn't find it funny for the most part and neither will most of you. If you want to find out a little about some unknown stereotypes go check this movie out; otherwise, check at Kung Fu Panda.

The Strangers Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 16:23:00 +0000

The acting was kind of dead in the movie, but I still really liked the movie. Fortunately the storyline didn't require good acting. The producers did a really good job of making this movie scary. It wasn't even an overly complex plot. I will say don't try to think too much because there are definite flaws with the plot.

The things I liked about this movie is that it doesn't really attempt to be feel good. It is a raw story that is told in a raw manner. It wasn't based on shock value either. It didn't have scenes like the ones from The Hills Have Eyes or Hostel. It played off of psychological fears. As a matter of fact it freaked out my girlfriend. We go in a little fight because she expressed on irrational fear of moving out to a wooded area.

Alright that is pretty much my review of the movie. Go see this one if you are in the mood for something scary. Now a tip for the guys.

If your girlfriend start to express some crazy fear after seeing the movie don't try to appeal to her with logic. This is not what she is looking for; making me an idiot. Simply, let her know that you will protect her and go where ever she feels comfortable. Try to sympathize and relate. Females are naturally emotional we are not, and that mean that you will have to make the effort to be compassionate. Now if only I could turn back the clock.

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 16:21:00 +0000

Well this review is certainly late, but here is the long due review. I thought this movie was much better than the first movie. This may actually give future sequels some validity. I really thought this franchise was going to die but it seems it may survive although not as successful as the Harry Potter series, which I am not a great fan.

The movie was exciting and it played off the first Chronicles of Narnia just perfectly. It also, built to a climax really well. There wasn't a single part of it that was particularly boring. The thing I hate to admit the most is that it give parents an opportunity to talk to their kids about topics like the holocaust. The WWII historical reference was obviously no mistake. I wish I would have read the books.

Well the culmination of entertainment and the fictional play on real life make this movie a must see. Coming out of this movie I didn't think the review was going to be this good. I think I made the mistake of too much thoughtful reflection with this movie review. BEWARE!!!

Indiana Jone and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull Moive Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 04:49:00 +0000

This was definitely an Indiana Jones movie. It did take unbelievable events to the next level. You'll find that out in the first fifteen minutes of the movie. The event I am talking about alomst ruins the whole movie, but I was able to get over the one part. The rest of the movie was really good.

This movie is filled with action and humor. I am proud of the directors/producers. They knew what an Indiana Jones movie was about and stuck to the format. There weren't any hidden political agendas or anything. Indiana Jones hates the communists in past movies and he still does. It was great.

I recommend going to see this movie. I know this post is late and I have been slacking of lately and I would like to apologize. Sorry.

Redbelt Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (George Burke) — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:14:00 +0000

This movie was boring and slow. Randy didn't play a real big part and niether did any of the other guys that were in the UFC at one point. This movie is simple about corruption in fighting and those who stand for the purity of fighting.

I would say skip this one even if you are a big MMA fan. I was really looking forward to this film but the plot was a total downer. There should have been a lot more action as well. The fight scenes were quick cut and choppy. You really couldn't even get a feel for the real type of chess match taking place in the ring.

I would rather see a movie about what goes on with a real fighter training. A documentary would even be nice. I just hated this movie. I guess they are testing the waters with this crap. Throw it against the wall hope it sticks type of deal. I would almost say go see this movie just so producers see some revenue and take a crack at making something good. One of these deals we will see the Rocky of MMA. Until then suffer.
