Blade Runner (Movie Review)

"I have had people walk out on me before, but not... when I was being so charming."

After finish the book do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which is the basic idea behind blade runner, I was really interested in re watching Blade runner agian. I remeber watching this movie when i was probably in middle school, while i can't really recall what happened in the movie i decided to watch it agian. So, how was the movie? eh, i'll be honest i actrully didnt' like it, thought it was kind of silly, and long. I understand they where trying to go for a film noir attitude toward the movie, but for me it was kind of silly. Harrison Ford is always good, but... he just really didn't say anything in this movie besides take shots at robots and run away from robots. The one thing i did enjoy was the very last scene in the movie, probably the most memorable moment and was still frightening for me. While maybe i didn't enjoy it was because this movie came out in the 80's and the special effects yes are good...for the time, but that only couldn't have held the movie togethere. While the city and effects are very interesting, the story ultimatley fell apart for me, probably because I read the book first.

Shutter Island (Movie Review)

"Tag! your it"


Taking place in the 1950's ish a young detective (Leonardo Dicaprio) is sent to an island to uncover the mystery behind this supposed horrible Asylum. In one sentences thats a good summary of the movie. Directed by Martin Scorsese which really shows his style throughout the film. The only issues Ifound troubling with this film was that it was a little long, and draged out. Also the ending I thought was pretty good, however its not like it hasn't been done in movies, so a little cliche but I didn't see it coming, unless im really gulible. Thats really all what i have to say about it, I enjoyed it, it was a fun movie to watch, even though when compared to Scorsese's other work its kind of a dissapointment, that aside a solid thriller, just not scary.

Bayonetta (Game Review)


This was quite the interesting game, and probably the most played by me and my friends. Im not sure that over playing this game was a good thing or a bad thing. But basicly if Devil May Cry fucked a witch this is what would come out. A high druggy addiction baby with unnatural super powers, with monsters that can be summon from her clothes. The action in this game is relentless soooo many fucking combos that I still can't pull off, sadly there are really only two buttons for attacking, punch and kick. Thankfully there are sooo many combos and all are different and unique it really dosn't seem like a button mashing kind of game. Untill you reach the climax sequences which is basicly how fast can you break your controller by constatly pressing one button. The story in this game is meh, meh, meh, just so so, its hard to follow and over drawn out, over saturated and long. However one thing that saves the story is the comical dialoge its actrully pretty funny, and pokes fun from other games such as Resident Evil 4, really. One thing that buged the shit out of me was that during some of the amazing cutscenes which can make the matrix looks like pussyshit, it would abruptly cut to these slideshow cutscene which COMPLETLEY killed it. Im not so shure what the developers where thinking when they thought it would be a good idea to add this, it almost seems like they ran out of time and instead of taking the time to make all the cut scene they rushed it and added dopey slideshows. Overall its a fun game the action and combat is solid, and watching all the choreography fall in place is mezmerizing, But don't take the story seriously, because its stupid and the game knows it.

The Blob (Movie Review)

"I bet there is a house somewhere.
"It doesn't sound like a house. It sounds like a dog."


Well, without too many adjectives, this movie is a classic and it always will be. Made in 1958 when horror films where being produced like no other. Watching this movie now is definitely a mind trip, seeing how all the people acted in the town, the clothes, the cars, even the town itself. Even the creature "The Blob" was done really well especially when you think about the time this movie was made. Sure, this movie isn't that scary anymore but its still fun to see Steve McQueen go around trying to tell everyone that a monster is on the lose and no one will believe him. In fact, I've heard people tell me that this movie is considered to be the first Teenager in distress horror film, a film that is the basic to a good majority of horror films today. The movie is fairly short, but with the budget this film was on I am amazed how much the film makers accomplished. If you've got the time to watch this, watch it, its more of a funny movie now, but that's what makes this film so great that its still a good movie, a classic.

Unforgiven (Movie Review)


"You just shot an unarmed man!"
"He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend."


Another western film by Clint Eastwood, however don't expect any gun slinging mass body count in this flick. In fact there is hardly any "showdowns" except the last scene which in my opinion is probably one of the best western shootout I have ever seen. The story is about Clint Eastwood as a retired "outlaw" raising is kids in the middle of now where. Until a young punk with a smith&wesson revolver tells him some "ol lady in Wyoming got her faced slashed and all beat up by some local," then comes the adventure. The story is actrully more developed then the way I put it, in fact its alot better, in short the story combines the old west legends with the changing of times, to what is justice and what is a crime. Eastwood meets up with his partner Morgan Freeman (so cool) and then start there trek to this town. The town is run by this god complex sheriff Gene Hackman who acts like the town is his, and hes "saving" every one from bad people. The most interesting part about this movie is how the west is being lost to technology, which adds a fascinating level of ideas to the film. Without giving too much up, its a good flick, I wouldn't say it was amazing due to some parts were possibly a little over developed, however watch this movie as if it wasn't a "Western" film and you'll enjoy it, the ending is very satisfying.
