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.

Breaking Away (Movie Review)

"What are we gonna do about him?"
"I don't know dear. We could always strangle him while he's asleep."

Well, lets put it this way when people ask me that question, "whats your favorite movie," I am always dumb struck because i watch way too many movies that its getting difficult to even drop a name down on what is my favorite of all time. So, maybe one day I'll put it all down on paper like a top 10 an easily, this takes one of the top 3 spots, easily. Its so hard to lay down on words because this movie goes rises to a whole different level of amazing. For a very brief summary, its about a four kids who graduate high school and are named by society "Cutters," mainly because their family's aren't wealthy and they don't' go to University of Indiana. In short its a coming of age story about finding who you are, but that's is a very very general, this movie has epic bicycle racing, College fights, Comedy, Family drama, and Co-eds. This movie strives to be great because of the story, the story is so well though out so tightly organized there's never a moment where you want to stop watching. In fact this movie even won an Academy Award for best Original Screen play, and deserves it. I am at a lost for words now, words can't explain..

Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs (Movie Review)

"Hey, Flint. It's been nice to beet you."
"That's a radish!"

I remember in my childhood that this was one of my favorite book growing up as a kid. Sure, enough i was surprised to see that Sony animation studios was going to be turning it into an animation film. At first i thought it was going to be a total joke, and completely destroy the image of the classic children's novel. However I was pleasantly surprised, it was a decent film, what made it enjoyable for me was the main character played by andy samberg, who looked incredibly simliary to the main charater... kind of. While the film dosn't follow the book, instead it just uses the imagination from the book, and then wrote a completley different story. So instead of the coulds raining food because of "a change of weater," the coulds rained food because the main character scientists kid created an invention that turns water into food, fucks up and ends up sending the invention into the coulds, making it rain food. The story worked quite well for me, the only part that stood out at me as being iffy was, that the movie started off so well that it never really brings you back up to that excietment level. Same goes with the laughs i found my self laughing a lot during the first part then....... didn't really laugh as the movie went on. Don't get me wrong its still a good movie, but some times you should start off slow with your appatizers then when you get your entree endulge your self and enjoy the last bites, but either way you'll get full in the end. (oh yeah, almost forgot and Mr. T has a voice role)

Departures (Movie Review)

"Don't touch me you're filthy"

Well, I finaly saw this movie, when it received an academy award last year for best foreign film, i was instantly hooked. The movie takes place in tokyo were a young talented man who plays the cello is fired from the orchestra, and has to sell his professional cello, inorder to move to his old home in the country. His wife agrees to come with him, and "support" him, however she does far from that espeically during the middle of the movie. While were at it lets talk about his wife, im not sure if the director perposely wanted her to act hella asian, or if that just how she acts in reall life, either way it made me really want to put duck tape on her mouth. Anyways... he ends up finding an add for a travel agency, but it turns out to be a Departed company. A departed company shown through this movie goes to your house were the deseased lay, and they expertly clean the body and carefully dressed them in a kimono. Some parts are comical in the movie because the "cello boy" is really nasious at the sight of dead bodys. However he soon realizes the effect this job has on the families who watch them prepare the deceased. Families would come up to his boss and thank him for making them look so "beautiful". Im going to stop there because, its a really great movie that needs to be watched, sure it might be a little slow at times, and the ending could be seen a mile away, but its deffentily a masterpiece of its own.

MIchael Clayton (Movie Review)

"You're so fucked. Here let me get a picture while I'm at it"

Following the live of, you guessed it lawyer Michael Clayton, a lawyer that specializes in cleaning up other peoples problems, or fuck ups. As the movie progresses you soon realize that even though he is one of the best in his field he is addicted to gambling, and is in debt from a local loan shark for his failing restaurant. This character development alone stands for its self and really lets the viewer understand how messed up his life really is even if it seems like he makes thousands of dollars. As the story continues you'll soon find out about this conspiracy agianst this major company, and of course nothing falls into place. Its hard not to summarize because that's were this movie shines, is within the story and directing. Nothing about this movie really stood at me as bad, maybe some parts were slow, but it really didn't pull me away from not liking it, if anything it made me want to watch it more, because I wanted to find out what was going to happen. Granted this movie is about lawyers and politics, so don't expect any fist fights or gun shooting. Instead watch this, and you'll be wondering from start to finish whats going to happen next, all the way up to the most suprising ending i have ever seen.
