The Simpsons Movie - I don't think I need to explain this one or tell you to go see it. It's been out for a few months now and if you haven't gone you must be locked in a basement somewhere playing the latest online phenomenon and think you are too busy to see this funny, funny movie. Well your wrong! Go see it, it is funnier than their last 3 seasons of TV episodes combined.
Wild Hogs - Old friends decide to take a motorbike trip to relive some of their youth. It was actually very funny. The characters and actors work so well together. There were a few rediculous parts...
William H. Macy falling off his bike, but otherwise worth the watch. Rent it next time your out.
The Bourne Ultimatum - The final book made into a movie.
Matt Damon delivers in this one again. Good story, fantastic action, you couldn't ask for more except an ending that leaves it wide open for another movie... oh wait... Anyway, if you are looking for a movie to see a bunch of peoples asses getting kicked, car chases and the usual spy stuff, this is it. I just hope if they do make a sequel they don't ruin the great story that has taken place over the first three.
The Condemned - Here comes another ass kicking. Take 15 death row prisoners, a reality show host and a desert island filled with camera's. Winner is the last one alive and gets to go free. Some crazy, crazy action right from start to finish. The story is terrible, loads of people die, but generally entertaining. If you are looking for something better check out
Batoru rowaiaru (Battle Royale).
Rush Hour 3 - No explination and you should stay away from this terrible movie. The first two were funny, now their just pushing it. What's the matter
Chris Tucker no one else wants you in their crappy movies? I think I laughed twice and they were jokes from
Jackie Chan. Get a real job, switch to directing then no one has to see you on camera... and finished.
Big Trouble in Little China - Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I had never seen it before and will never see it again. This was supposed to be a bad movie right? No one was supposed to like it right? It was the directors big joke right? Kind of a "hahah I can't believe they paid me for that?"
Knocked Up - Funniest movie of the year. Though I haven't seen Superbad yet. This is a must see, must purchase for anyone. You will probably have a better understanding of everything if you already have children, which makes it twice as funny. Check It Out!
Evan Almighty - Evan Baxter, played by
Steve Carell, the babling reporter from Bruce Almighty gets the lead here. He leaves the news station to become a senator. God comes to him and tells him to prepare for a great flood. Animals begin showing up 2x2 and the hilarity begins. Not a bad movie, but not as good as the first. Check it out as a rental.
Extreme Ops - Shooting a tv commercial, a group of extreme sports people comes across a terrorist believed to be dead. Not a good story at all but the running, jumping, skiing and snowboarding in the movie are pretty awesome, if anything I would watch it again just for that.
Kickin It Old Skool - Yes I actually watched this. 8 year old kid knocks himself into a coma while break dancing at a school competition. He wakes up 20 years later to find everything has changed and it has cost his parents a ton of money. To repay them he gets the old "crew" back together to compete in one last dance off and win money to help pay his parents back. It was terrible! The only good part was the 80's and 90's dance music,
Michael Rosenbaum and the millions of references to stupid things in the 80's. Stay away from this one like you've stayed away from Breakdancing for the last 20 years.
Clockstoppers - Fun kids movie about a teen who finds a watch that allows him to move through time super fast. He uses it for fun until he finds out his dad has been taken by an evil corporation using him to create more and reverse the aging effects it has on the body. Directed by
Jonathan Frakes (aka Commander Riker of ST: TNG) and he even includes a Star Trek reference in one of the scenes. Cheesy but still kind of fun.
Donnie Brasco - I finally saw this one as well. A few people have been telling me to watch it. Very cool story. Nothing else to say but you should watch it for yourself.
Hot Fuzz - An English supercop gets transfered to a rural area cause his superness is making the rest of the department look bad. He finds that in this new small town there is something going on and people start dying and he must figure out who is doing it. Comedy all the way through though not as funny until the end. Maybe rent it, only if you really liked Shawn of the dead.
Stand by Me - Make fun of me all you like but this is the first time I saw this one as well. Yes, yes, it took me 21 years but I finally watched it. Anyway, it was fantastic! I can't believe the number of stars in this movie though they weren't that big back then. Great story, I might even have to read the book now. Buy this one.
Gridiron Gang - Another football movie, but this one has more of a backstory that holds the movie together. Teenagers at a juvenile detention center, under the direction of their counselor, Sean Porter (played by
The Rock), gain self-esteem by playing football. Good story, good characters and based on actual events and people. Definite rental.
Chat gim (The seven swords) - Seven master swordsmen (and women) come together to save a village from an evil General. This was a LONG movie, not much of a story but the sword fights were amazing as well as the swords themselves. Good movie if you are willing to sit through 2.5 hours of it and the bad english voice overs. Find it with subtitles if you can.
The Running Man - Cheesy 80's
Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie. No explination just catch it if it is on tv at some point.
