War Movies

This is a topic that I have yet to touch on. I guess I chose war movies, because they are a type of movie that catch my attention. I don't remember when it started. Maybe it was around my junior year of high school, after having an awesome history teacher . Now back to the topic. I guess watching all these war movies make you think and show you what all of the people in the military have gone through while serving this country that we call home or what ever country is called home.

One of the first war movies that I will admit to enjoying is Saving Private Ryan starring Tom Hanks and Matt Damon. It tells the story of D-Day or June 6, 1944, when U.S. Soldiers stormed the beaches at Normandy. Not only does it do that, it tells the story of an army platoon (headed by Hanks) who has to go out and find Pvt. James F. Ryan, to tell him that he is being sent home from active duty at that time. The reason is because all of his brothers who were serving in the same platoon were all killed and he was the only one out of the five (?) who survived. (That part was actually happened in another branch, and the rule was put into affect that they can serve in the same branch, but not the same platoon.)

The platoon looking for Ryan runs into some trouble when a few of their men are killed. That's only the small problem. The biggest problem is when they actually find Ryan. Why is that the biggest problem you ask? They find the person with the right name but from the wrong state. They Found James F. Ryan from Minnesota, not Iowa.

The second one is Pearl Harbor. This tells about the Japanese attack on the Pearl Harbor Naval base in Hawaii. It also tells the story of two friends who want to go into the service together. It is an interesting film that tells a story about the times and days leading up to December 7, 1941--The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Both of these movies make me have more respect for the people who serve and fight for their countries during war time

Movie Stars

This blog is going to be a little bit different. Today I am going to try and talk about movie stars. I mean there are many different stars, ranging from Charlie Chaplin, and Buster Keaton, to Ben Afflack and Matt Damon. Yes, I know all four of these actors are very diffrerent from each other, but they all bring enjoyment to people no matter what period of time you live in.

First I am going to start with Chaplin and Keaton. Both of these men were very big actors in the silent movie era. Yes folks, there was a time when movie had no sound and they were in black and white.

Chaplin was originally a vaudeville actor born in England. His most famous character was known as "The Tramp." Chaplin was an actor who was and still loved by many even today. He made many films such as The Immigrant, One AM, and his most famous The Great Dictator, which he made to poke fun at German Dictator Adolph Hitler.

Buster Keaton was a big film star at the same time as Chaplin. Keaton made such movies as The General, Sherlock Jr., and many more. Keaton earned the nickname of "Stone Face." He got the name because he hardly ever showed emotion whatsoever while on screen.

These actors paved the way for such other actors as Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Jimmy Stewart, and many more leading to the stars that we have today.

Many of these are great because of certain films that they have made and will always be remembered for them and for that they are appriciated!

I think everyone needs a Spinal Tap

Most people don't realize that one of the funniest movies around is This is Spinal Tap. This a mockumentary about a British Band that is touring for their comeback and they want to be known again. As they are touring they run into a bunch of problems along the way, like all the band members winding up with a cold sore on their lips, getting lost in an arena, and much more.

The movie starts Rob Reiner (from All in the Family), Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer (The Simpsons), and Michael McKean (Lenny from Lenny Squiggy, and SNL). All of these men worked on writing the movie about the fictitious band.

Shearer, McKean, and Guest play the main characters: Nigel, David, and Derrick. We get to follow them around as the band tours, and as it starts to fall apart again. After watching this movie, and getting to see The Tap Live May 26, 2009, they grow on you even more even though they are not a real band.

Many people may disagree with me that this is a great film that will make you laugh, but I bet there are more people who will agree with me. Many people have seen this film and many people have loved it, and I am one of them!

So I suggest people go out and see this film and have a good time with it. So out of 10 stars I give this film a 10.

Views on THe taking of Pelham 123

The Taking of Pelham 123 (Original)
When most people think of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, they think of the film staring Denzel Washington, not Walter Matthau. I just wanted to say, having seen both versions of the film, through my honest opinion, I think the original is much better than the remake. Many people may disagree with me on this, but as I've learned growing up in life, everyone has their own opinion. There are a few reasons why I think the original is better than the remake. I will get to those very shortly. Again, most people have to remember that the original version of The Taking of Pelham 123 was done in the 1970s, which means that this version is definitely going to be more over the top than the remake was in the summer of 2009.
One of the first reasons why I believe that this version is better is because of the cast that appears in this movie. Starting off, the star of the film is Walter Matthau as Zachary Garber. With Matthau as the lead in this film, you know that something can and will always happen. Not only that, he will somehow get his way, whether other people want him to or not.
Also in the cast for this film is Martin Balsam, who some people may remember as the foreman in the Henry Fonda film 12 Angry Men. Balsam plays the character of Mr. Green. He is the second in command to Mr. Blue on the job to hijack a New York City train. He is the only one who winds up getting caught. Why? Go ahead I'll wait while you ask yourself. OK the answer, he has a cold and is heard sneezing over the radio on the train a few times by Matthau's character. This is what gets him caught, as I mentioned before.
Another famous name is Jerry Stiller. Of course as many people know is the father of actor Ben. As the film goes along we find out that he is one of the transit officers working along with Garber. His is Garber's second in command.
Earl Hindman, who most people remember as Wilson W. Wilson, Jr., or simply Wilson, from the TV Show Home Improvement makes an appearance as Mr. Blue. You can tell that it is him by the sound of his voice. While watching this movie, I couldn't buy Hindman as a criminal of any kind.
All of these different people helped make this movie over the top, eccentric, and suspenseful. Let's see if you agree with me.

Post 100 Here's Joooooooohny! Part 2

As I've stated before, I think that Stanley Kubrick is a genius. If I haven't, Stanley Kubrick is a genius. The Shining is a great movie. This movie, like many of Kubrick's other movie, screws with your head and makes you think about one thing and something else happens. I think that this film is great! The reason is the cast, which is headed by the legendary Jack Nicholson. He makes this movie just about, or even more scary than it should be.
I say this because, The Shining makes you stay on edge the entire time that you are watching it. It makes you feel like you could possibly be next on Jack Torrance's list of people to talk too. The Shining made me feel like I was the camera person on the set, and that I was each and everyone of those characters.
Jack Nicholson made this movie outstanding. I say this, because Jack is one of the best actors of the last twenty or thirty years. He makes you believe his character also named Jack, is going insane, and wants you to go insane with him. Maybe this is just me, but this is how the character makes me feel. It's like he is saying come on, going crazy is fun, everyone is doing it.
On a scale of 1-10, I give this movie a 9 1/2 stars. Agree if you want, disagree if you want, because everyone has their own opinions and I respect that.

Hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's Johnny!!

Right now I am in the middle of watching Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. This is a very interesting movie staring Jack Nicholson. He plays a writer named Jack Torance, who has to move with his family to take of a hotel with his wife and son. When they get there, they are given a tour and shown where everything is. While Jack's wife Wendy and son Danny are on the tour of the kitchen and pantry area, one of the workers figures out that Danny has "The Shining."
While watching this movie each character has a different problem that helps define them.

The character of Jack is a struggling author, who is a drunk who has trouble controlling his demons. He cannot keep the demon of drinking under control, because he starts drinking and becomes violent again after telling Wendy that he wouldn't.
Wendy seems to be a loving wife, who is over trusting and very worry some. She is worried about their son Danny, and the habits that Jack falls into while at the isolated hotel. Wendy seems to be the character you can't stand, but you want to see what she does any way. I know that people will not agree with me, but this is how I feel.
Danny is the son that has some troubles. One thing you find out is that he has "a boy that lives in his mouth." He is always seen riding around the hotel on his big wheel. While he is doing that he always sees this two twin girls.
There will be a continuation of this blog when I finish the movie.

Inside Man

The movie: Inside Man. The director: Spike Lee. The movie is about four people, who have different versions of the name of Steve; they walk into a bank dressed as painters, and go to rob the bank. While "Steve" is in there, they keep every worker and customer a hostage, and slowly let them out one by one if demands are met, or if they want more demands. The cast of this movie is: Clive Owen, Willem Defoe, Denzel Washington, and Jodie Foster.
As the movie goes on we start to find out more and more about the criminals as we do about the police officers. This is a situation that is a struggle for both sides and will make life easier if everything worked the way both sides wanted.
I am not going to ruin the ending for any readers out there, but this is a movie that makes you think, that's if you want to, this is the movie for you. How often do movies make you think?

1-1-10

This is my first post of the new year. i don't know if this will actually have anything to do with movies. Will I touch on them? Maybe. Will I talk about them 100%? NO. I don't even know what movies to talk about in this blog.
What can I say about movies heading into 2010? I really don't know. I don't even know what movies I am going to see this calendar year. It seems like as of now there are very few movies worth seeing. I know that sounds odd coming from a guy that loves his movies. Right now I will stick with the DVD's that I received for the Christmas holiday.
When I finish most of those I will post more blogs about them. I posted about the movie Memento, and I am deciding whether or not I will post about the first part of the Survivor Series Anthology (1987-1991). It is a tough choice, but if I decide to do it I will.
Until then over and out!!!!!!!!!

Final Post of '09

This post is the final post of 2009. This is about the what I think of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. I have to say this film was way different than I though that it would be. I am not saying that it is a extravagant film such as Citizen Kane or Gone With the Wind, but it is a great way to keep an awesome horror movie icon like Freddy Krueger alive.
I know many people might think that I am crazy for say that Krueger is one of the best, but I believe that to be true. This movie tells how Freddy comes alive in peoples dreams just like the previous two films, but this time he is attacking the dreams of kids who are in a hospital for other problems that they all have.
Technical things like the lighting help tell the story, and help us become one with the characters. It allows you to feel all nervous and it wants you to feel creeped out and scared so that you will hope that this doesn't happen to you. I know the movie is fake, but sometimes it feels good to get a scare. Getting a scare from a movie like this, can make life fun.
This movie brings out the fun of the 1980s, and the fun of being scared. Many people may not agree with me.

Memento

Memento is a really interesting film about a man named Leonard, who has a memory problem. He has a short term memory problem after there is an accident involving his wife a few years before. His wife is raped and murdered, and because of this he cannot remember anything after this problem. Because of the events involving his wife, he can only retain information for a short period of time. To help try and jog his memory, Leonard keeps notes, and takes pictures of people places and things that he has seen and has been to.
As the movie goes on, Leonard tries to find the man named John G. who was suspected of raping and murdering Leonard's wife. While this is happening Leonard has people throwing off track and people trying to help him. This movie certainly screws with your head. It makes you feel like you can guess what is going to happen next, but you can't. The reason why you can't is you see the scene and then you see it again, with a little bit more information added. Another scene is shown, and then it goes back to the original scene and the last bit of information is added which makes everything come together.
To paraphrase a Tim Curry line from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, This is a mental mind screw. I have to agree with this. Memento really screws with your head. It really makes you think, like you never thought before. It is hard to keep track of what is really going on. Tell me what you think!!!! I give this film a 9

The new Lot

The new lot of Christmas DVD's has come in. As soon as I start getting done with most of them, I will start writing reviews. This may take a while because there are so many different ones, but I will do what I can to do it.
I don't know exactly how there are of you out there reading this, but the reviews will keep coming, They will start slowly, but they will start coming within the next couple of days.
So, as soon as this process starts moving, there will be more to follow. Until then, it will be up when it will be up. I honestly know how long it will take me to post all of the movie reviews, but I have a lot of watching to do. For any of you out there who do read this, I just ask for some time, and I will make sure reviews are produced.

Movies in General

I know that there are many different kinds of films out in the world for people to like. Yes, I'll admit it, I have been known to like some bad movies. Yes, everyone else does too; they just do it a lot more than I do. No, I'm not saying that I am going to cut off all communication with these people. Maybe I should with some of them. Again, I'll admit my movie choices aren't always that great, but I have been known to pick out some good movies.
A lot of times, I have the conversation of bad movie picking with people at my job. These people will tell me that they are going to see whatever movie it is. It's usually, hell it's always the bad movie. When I tell these people "don't see that, it's crap" they don't believe me. Then, the next time I see them, I get asked "why the hell didn't you convince me to see that?" Of course, my response is "I did you dumbass, but you didn't listen!"
Again, I'll say that I do not always pick the greatest movies around. The point that I am getting at is, "listen to the film student, who tells you not to see a piece of shit movie."
I know this seems like a lot of rambling and raving and carrying on, but I wanted to get my feelings out there.

S. Darko The "Sequel" Eight years Later

S. Darko is the "sequel," or as the movie crew calls it, the "continuation" of Donnie Darko. S. Darko follows Samantha Darko, Donnie's youngest sister on a trip seven years after his death. It tells her story, while she is on a road trip with one of her friends. It has the same concept of Donnie Darko. There is time travel involved, if you are into that type of thing.
There are even more connections to the first movie, which I will not speak of if you never saw it. The movie is rather interesting, and easier to follow than the movie Donnie. OK, both were easy to follow, but this one is easier to follow if you saw the first film.
This movie has a great story, great characters, a great plot, theme, and many other things. I am not bragging about how great it is, or saying you should go out get the DVD and saying you should watch it. OK I am saying the second part. I feel that you will enjoy this film, because I know I did.

Air Heads

Well. What can I say about the movie AirHeads? The first thing is that for me it is a Thanksgiving tradition. Every year around this time, I watch the movie about three wannabe rock 'n' rollers Chazz (Brendan Fraser), Rex (Steve Buscemi), and Pip (Adam Sandler). This movie tells the story about what happens when these three guys break into a radio station in order to get their song played.
While they are there, they hold up the radio station with fake uzi's , which they fill with hot pepper sauce, from the toy store that Rex works in. While they are in the studio, they force Disc Jockey, Ian the Shark to put them on the radio. In the process of being on the radio, a large croup of people show up to support them. The only bad thing is the cops show up, because one of the other workers played by Michael Richards, calls them in to stop what is happening.
All in all, they get their song played, but they also got to play their song live from jail.

BASEketball

Well. what can be said about a movie about a game that is two sports in one? Well a lot actually. This movie is about three friends Joe "Air man," "Coop" Coop (Trey Parker), Doug "Sir Swish" Reemer, and Kenny "Squeak," "Little Bitch" Scolari. They are three guys who wind up creating a game that combines baseball and basket ball rules.

Eventually it becomes a national sport, and there are other certain rules about shooting, playing, not trading players, not moving teams to other cites, and so on. Each character is someone that you know or it could be you. Wither way, this movie is funny it makes you laugh, it makes you cry, but you should go out and see this film.

Planet of the Apes

I know I've posted on this movie and series before. The only reason why I am posting again, is because an interesting question was asked of me the other day while watching the remake. Before I get to that, let me just say I watched the original, and remake for a paper, that I have to hand in for an independent study at school.
Ok, now I will get to the question that was asked of me. That was "Why did the remake end the way it did?" Before answering that I though of two buddies of mine, and gave an answer they would give. That answer was "It's freaking Planet of the Apes, do you really need a reason?" Yes, I know my answer was a question, but it answer it. Of I get told that answer couldn't be bought at a 99 cent store, but it's just one of those answers that holds up.

Many different movie

Lately, I've been watching plenty of movies. The reason, I am doing an independent study at school and am doing the paper on remakes. IT is an interesting topic to do the paper on, but it is so tedious, to do all this work. All the movie are great, but it's like why do remakes. That is my question? It seems weird, that some movies that most of us have seen were remade. sometimes both films were great, some one was good and one was bad, or both were just bad. Hopefully people can agree with me. Well it's your choice

Halloween II vs. Halloween II

This is blog pitting Halloween II against Halloween II, which you can plainly see. I am just writing this to say that I saw Rob Zombie's version of this movie today (8/28) or yesterday if you read this after midnight. I thought this movie would be good, but it really wasn't. I just don't know what it was, but I honestly think that the story didn't make much sense. My question is this MR. Zombie: Why stray from the original story? It was fine just the way it was.

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed his other movies, but I am not talking about them right now. I am talking about his version of Halloween II compared to John Carpenter and Debra Hill's version. With Hill and Carpenter's version, they pick up where their 1978 version of Halloween ended. It picks up when Loomis played by Donald Pleasance shoots Meyers, and thinks he kills him. Rob Zombies version does not do this. This again leads to the question that I asked above. Go ahead and read it again.

The entire hour and forty-five minutes I was in there, I kept telling myself, "this isn't right, and it doesn't make sense." I will not ruin the story for those of you who haven't seen it, but trust me it doesn't make sense. All I will say is that it doesn't pick up where his remake of Halloween leaves off.

On a scale of 1-10 stars I give this 1.5 stars!

Damn it Janet

People may or may not agree with me on this, but I think that Richard O'Brien's movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of the greatest cult classic movies around. There are many reasons why I say this. Again, many people might not agree with me, but I am going to tell you my readers, if there are any of you, why I love this movie.
1) The story- The story in this movie might be an odd at its best, but I find it enjoyable. It tells about two kids Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon), who get lost after going to a wedding. While driving they make a wrong turn, and wind up by this castle, which is owned by Dr. Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry), who they find out many things about. One of the things they found about him that Furter created a man to love.
2) The Characters- Each character bought something to the story. Frank N. Furter is the gay scientist who one of the three main characters. He is the man who runs this castle that Brad and Janet come across when they get lost. Furter has a bunch of servants who work for him
3) Brad and Janet- The two kids who get lost and wind up at the castle and are trapped there. While there, they both try to find their way out, but fail miserably, until the end of the movie until they are saved. They meet every one of Furter's servants while they are in this castle.
4) Riff-Raff, Magenta, and Columbia- These three, how do I put this nicely, "freaks" who work for Frank N. Furter, help him keep, our hero and heroine, in this castle. Throughout the movie, they help out, until the very end.
5) Eddie- Is a motorcycle riding zombie, played by Meatloaf . He has a few moments in the film, but doesn't last very long, and you'll find out why.
There are many more reasons. If you'd like to find out what they are ask me.

The Real American Hero?

I just finished watching the new G.I. JOE movie The Rise of the Cobra. I am going to start off by saying that it wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible, either. I mean it could have been better if the directors and producers, put in more characters, like the ledgendary Sgt. Slaughter. Having the Sarge in the movie, would have made it even better.
No, I'm not saying that because I am a fan of the Sarge, but come on, that's who made GI JOE. Honestly, I feel like having the Sarge in there, could have worked better than having Hawk run everything. To me this would have been great, because in the cartoon world of the JOE's the Sarge had a way of running everything.
I honestly would have made the world of the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity a better feel
One question if they are the American Hero, why did they save Russia? If you know, tell me, because I want to know, because knowing is half the battle.

The Breakfast Club

When thinking about the 1980s one of the first movies I think of is John Hughes' The Breakfast Club. Many people may or may not do the same, but I know I do.In a way what I think Hughes is trying to do is show us that we're all one of or all of these five people.
In a way, I have to agree, that we are all an athlete, a basket case, a princess, a criminal and a brain. We are not these people in every sense of the word, but, we in a way are. I say that, because that's the groups people in high school fit into, whether or not they like it.
I also feel that Hughes is trying to tell us, that if we look inside ourselves we can find out who we really are, and we can connect and become friends with anyone if we choose to. We may not have to like someone but we can make an attempt to be like these people and get along and get to know people.

Spike Lee says that "She's Gotta Have It."

Just recently, I watched the Spike Lee movie She's Gotta Have It. The movie follows the character of Nola Darling, who has to have it. by "it" you know what I mean. The movie follows Nola's troubles of which man, Mars, Jamie, or Greer. Lee allows us to follow the troubles of Nola's story, because in a way he wants us to see that she has a problem, and she either needs to fix it or have something bad happen to her.
While watching this, I've noticed the way Lee uses certain camera movements and lighting choices to make the movie work. It makes you really feel that you are those characters, you are on that set, and you want to really want to be part of that story. I honestly think that Spike Lee does this really well. Lee draws you into the story by doing this, so that way you can see and feel what he was going through and feeling while he was writing and making this movie.
I honestly don't know what caused Lee to write a movie about a female sex addict, but the story was interesting. It really makes you think about what people are really like in the real world. What I think Lee is trying to say is watch out who you know, because they might not be who you think they are.

I met the Spartans....

And I was deeply disappointed. I thought it was going to be funny, but it really wasn't. I mean Don't get me wrong I liked Epic Movie, and Date Movie, but this one not so much. I honestly don't know what it was. I usually love spoof movies, (i.e. Spaceballs), but I just couldn't get into this. Maybe I'm getting old, maybe I'm losing my sense of humor, maybe my humor is changing. I really cannot say.
Yeah, people will look at me as being old, which I might be, but I guess, there is the fact that, it is very hard to make me laugh. I guess that's because of Kevin Smith, and his ever so smart humor, from Clerks on. Now that I look at it, that is a big reason why, but I guess after you're trained to laugh at one thing, you wouldn't laugh at something else unless you turn it in to something smart.
Getting Back to Meet the Spartans, I just didn't think that it was funny. I guess it wasn't written well enough to get me to laugh loud and obnoxiously, but it happens sometimes.
I didn't laugh. So I guess, they'll have to try harder

Animals as characters in movies

How many times do you see an animal as a main character, or a character that the story is focused on? Answer, not to many. Some of the very few films that do that are Jurassic Park, Howard the Duck, and The Jungle book, come to my mind right away. Why? I can't really say. It's just one of these weird things that I think of while being a film student. Is it weird to everyone else? Yes. Do people think that I am weird for thinking about it? Yes. But ya know what? No one else thinks about it.
This is one of those topics that can come up between myself and other film students. The reason that it does, is because we have run out of other things to talk about. It does seem weird to everyone else, but we enjoy it because, again how often do you see this, or how many times do you get to talk about what the animals represent instead of people.
Now when you readers (if there are any of you), who will read this, will start to think about this now. Don't get me wrong it seems logic to think about this, if you must. In the words of NIKE, "Just do it!"

FanBoys

Yesterday, I had watched the comedy film FanBoys. To me it was a very funny movie. I am not being Biased because I know the guy Dan Pulick who came up with the story and worked on some of the script.
I honestly thought the story was good. The first reason why is because, FanBoys proves to us that all of love something from our childhood, whether or not we admit it. Sometime if we love something enough we should go for it, even if we fail.
Another reason why I liked this film is because it teaches us that sometimes we need to reconnect with people and places that we lost connections to while trying to grow up and move out into the real world.
These are two of the many things that I learned from this movie, and hope that people can learn the same things whether or not they enjoy FanBoys."

1980s movies

Yeah, I know movies from the ‘80s are corny, and maybe dumb to kids now a days. But, to tell you the truth they don’t know what they’re missing. Yeah, these movies may have bad stories, characters a much more working against them, but it happens. How do I say this? Being a film student, I feel that kids born in the 1990s should really watch movies from the 1980s. Yeah, they’ll think they’re weird, but it will bring a form of entertainment to everyone. I think it will show them that not all blockbusters had CGI, special effects, and sharks with laser beams attached to the tops of their frickin’ heads.
I know this may make oldity (As someone nicely put it), kick in, but what else can I say?
The reason I bring this up is because I am watching the 1980s classic Adventures in Babysitting. It got me to think about how 1980s movie can and are better than a lot of other movies that have come out in the last ten to fifteen years. No, I’m not saying that ‘90s movies are bad, some are and some aren’t, but we can’t fix that.
Do I expect everyone to agree with me on this? No! But I know you’ll to the death my right to say it. Agree if you want, disagree if you have to, but just remember on things.
Balls in your mouth, bust if ya must!!

Movies and Summer

I know the summer is coming and the blockbusters are making their way into the theaters, but are all of these movies going to be blockbuster? Some yes, some maybe, and some absolutely not. The reason why I say this is because all of these movies get hyped up for release and people go and spend their twelve dollars on a tickets and either really like the movie, or be totally devastated by it.

Continuing on with this topic of discussion, which usually ends with me arguing with someone about what will be a good summer blockbuster, people always find out that I am right, but won’t tell me. I bring this up because I always have these coital debates with people at work. Of course, they choose not to believe me when I tell them, so I let then suffer. I tell them, “Oh______(whoever it is), don’t see that movie. It’s going to be bad.” What happens, they see it, they waste their money, and then they tell me, “you’re the film student, why didn’t you tell me?” I did but they didn’t listen. This happens every year when the summer blockbusters come out.

What I’m really trying to get at is why wouldn’t you listen to the FILM STUDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Just curious? So guess what? I’ll just let you waste your money on shitty movies.

Death To Woody Allen Films

I guess the main reason I am writing this blog, is for my great hatred and dislike of Woody Allen movies. People may ask me why I strongly dislike Mr. Allen and his film, and I tell them as nicley as possible "He makes me feel like my brain is leaking out of my ears." I am not saying they have to like my favorite director Kevin Smith, but at least he has some humor to him.
Woody Allen's movies take what feels like forever, forever, FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know people may like his films, but to me they are worse than getting kicked in the nut sack, and that is pretty painful.
All I am saying is people wake up and smell the coffee, Allen is possibly one of the worst filmmakers ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are these "Mystery Men?"

They are a group of people trying to save the world, when the super heroes we count on aren’t there. These people are a fork-wielding hero known as the Blue Raja, The Bowler, who throws a bowling ball with her dead father’s skull in it, a “gas specialist,” known as the Spleen, an enraged man known as Mr. Furious, The Shoveler, who does damage with hit shovel, and the Invisible Kid.

They are out to save the world, after Cassanova, and his Disco Boys killed Captain Amazing. Nobody believes that they could do it, but they prove them wrong. With a little hard work, and learning how to use their weapons correctly, they become the ultimate fighting team.

Yes, you know that they are going to prevail in the end, but it’s like you want everything to be easy for them, even though you know it won’t be. I have to say that after seeing this movie for the first time in 10 years, I enjoyed it. It made me laugh in some spots, but this made me wonder why I didn’t like it in the first place.

On a scale of 1-10, I’ll give it an 8 ½ stars!

Super Hero Movies

Super hero movies are pretty cool, if you think about it. I know everyone love the Spiderman, Superman, Ironman, Incredible Hulk movies. I agree they are good, but one movie that I will give a review of, when I am done watching it is Mystery Men. For those of you who don't know, that stars Ben Stiller, Janeane Garafalo, William H. Macy, Kel Mitchell (Keenan and Kel Fame), Paul Rubens (Pee-wee Herman Fame), and many more. I honestly think that think that is is better than a lot of other super hero movies, because, to me it allows us to see the uprising of smaller unknown heroes.
People may look at me like I am crazy, but I think this is true. It has been about 10 years since I've seen Mystery Men, ehich came out during my junior year of High school (which would make me old by some peoples standards). I will finish watching it and let everyone know what I think, and wether or not there should be a sequel, even though it is 10 years later.
Sure, people are saying I am crazy for saying that, but guess what, I don't care.

over & out

Remakes.

I hate it when I have conversations about remakes. People who I know and work with will tell me "Oh this movie is good!" They get mad at me when I tell them "Oh I saw this movie when it was.." Why because I am telling you that you have no idea what you mean.
An example of this when I was talking to one girl about I Am Legend. She told me it was a good movie and that I should go and see it. I told her I did see when it was first released as the Last Man on Earth Starring Vincent Price. I also told her that I also told her I saw it the second time when it was released as the Omega Man, starring Charlton Heston.
She gets mad at me and tells me that I'm being a jerk, and I was like why? Is it because I told you don't listen to the film student!!

Random post

Right now there aren't too many good movies out there. What I mean is, there are horrible movies, which were funny when I saw them when I was twelve, for example this new movie with Seth Rogen. You know, this one were he is a mall cop. The fat guy already did that was from King of Queens. This movie was similar to something I saw when I was twelve. Here’s an example it’s not a great one, but Liar, Liar starring Jim Carrey. Same movie, different jobs same outcome. A guy, who hates his job, makes fun of it and the possibility of things working out in the end.

I bring this up because it happens, and when I tell people, “Oh, I saw this movie when it was….” They get mad at me. For example, this one girl I work with tells me I am Legend was a good movie, I told her “it was better the first time I saw it as The Last Man on Earth.” She then gets mad at me and I tell her “it also better the second time when I saw it as the remake Omega Man.” She gets mad at me even more. I know it’s annoying that I do this, but I am trying to educate people on film and movies a bit, before they say some jackass-y movie is good.

Another example of a movie that is supposed to be good is Watchmen, nope, no way, no how, saw this a long time ago when it was called Masters of the Universe. Sorry folks, but as a film major, I can tell simply by the commercials that something is good, and Watchmen wasn’t. For me sitting through a bad movie like this one, which I didn’t, The Breakup, or Deconstructing Harry is like getting kicked in the no-no parts over and over.

One other thing on this, I hate people tell me oh some movie is going to be good, I tell them it’s not, they don’t listen, go out see it and waste there money. The best this is afterwards they come back and tell me it’s my fault they saw a bad movie. Bullshit! Pardon my French; you have a mind of your own to either see the movie, or listen to a guy who knows movies.

A long time since the last post

The last time that I posted anything, was back after I finished watching The Wrestler. The only movie I have seen in the last month or so was Friday the 13th and that wasn't even good enough to post anything on, which is why I didnt bother doing so. The next movie I see, I will post something then.

The Wrestler

The Wrestler is an awesome movie, about an old wrestler who is trying to make a comeback after 20 years. The movie stars Mickey Rourke, and Marisa Tomei. The Wrestler follows the career and life of wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson. Along the way he tries to continue wrestling while many different things happen to him, like he tries to start over with his daughter, falls in love with Marisa Tomei's character Cassidy. There are many other things that happen throughout the movie, but I am not going to say anything, because I don't want to ruin the movie for the people who haven't seen it.
I really have to say that this is a great movie, for many reasons. The first reason why I honestly thought it was great, was because of the story. The story was great because you felt Randy's struggle. You did, you felt his struggle that Randy was going through to make it back to the big time even though it was going through the indies.
There are many other reason is how Randy fights the struggle to win back the hearts of the fan and the audience. Which might I add he does.
I will give this movie a 10 out of 10 on the star scale. Why? Because that's how much I enjoyed the movie!

Get your stinking paws off me you damn dirty apes

I truly believe that people don't get the greatness of the Planet of the Apes Series. It is one of those series of movies that are so not to say bad, but badly acted, which is what makes it great. Everything being over acted also makes it great as well.
Speaking of over acting, Charlton Heston's over acting also makes this series of movies great.
One thing that makes me crack up with this is the story that was written thought this is what the future would be like, even though it isn't.
These are the things that make this series of movie great for me no matter what anyone says!!!

FanBoys coming to a theater near you on Feb. 6

Fan Boys is a movie coming to a theater near you on Februray 6, 2009. It is a movie about a group of friends that break into Skywalker Ranch and try to steal the Star Wars stuff that is there. Right now, that is all I know, other than who worte the story. The person who came up with and/or wrote the story is Dan Pulick. There are some guest stars in the movie, such as Jay Mewes, Kevin Smith, and Captian James Tiberius Kirk, William Shattner.

1-1-09 First blog of the New Year

This is my first blog of the New Year, and I am going to write about a few of the movies that I have received on DVD. One of them that I enjoyed was The Life and Times of Mr. Perfect. This tells about one of the greatest wrestlers of the 1980s early 1990s. This DVD tells about how he changed the world of wrestling, and how he changed people's life before his untimely death.
Another DVD that I watched was The Most Powerful Families in Wrestling. This one is self explanatory. so I don't think that I need to go into any details about that. It basically tells how they changed the world of wrestling.
Summer of Sam was another great movie that I had just finished watching on DVD. This is Spike Lee's depiction of 1977 known as the Summer of Sam. It tells the story about what happened when killer David Berkowitz, went around the five Burroughs killing brunettes. Throughout the movie Lee does two things. Number one is that Lee makes us feel like we are in 1977, and number two, he follows them main character of Vinny played by John Laguizamo. Lee also shows us people's reactions, and different ways people thought about who the killer was.
All of these were great so watch

Raging Bull

About two weeks ago I watched one of the greatest movies of all time. That movie Raging Bull. This is the story of boxing great Jake Lamotta. It is the greatest boxing movie of all time. Not to put down Ali, but no boxing movie can stand up to this movie. No matter what anyone says, this movie shows the rise and fall of a boxing great. This also show what can happen to anyone in life, famous or not.

Out of 10 stars it gets 10

DP, Editor, Looks like you've got you shit covered

Today November 2, 2008, I saw Kevin Smith's new movie Zack and Miri Make a Porno. It was a very entertaining movie. I am not saying this because I am a huge Kevin Smith fan. It was one of those movies that I laugh all the way through, even if other people weren't laughing. The same thing had happend with my friend Andrea who had went with me. Some times it felt like people were looking at us if we were crazy, when we the only two laughing.
A little back story. This is about two friends Zack and Miri, who are about to loose their apartment because they didn't pay any bills. The reason, really bad jobs. So after going to their 10 year high school reunion, they realize that they are worse off than anyone else. Their reason to get money back, they decide to make a porno. They go through the process of writing scripts, their first one was entitled Star Whores, and the second one that works out for them.
As part of the process they have to ask their friend Delaney to give them the money and make him a producer on the project, he decides to do it. This works out for them.
There are two people that were in Zack and Miri, that had gotten me to laugh, and of course they are Jason Mewes (Jay of Jay and Silent Bob Fame), and Jeff Anderson (Randall of Clerks fame). These two were the funniest in the cast.

Out of 10 stars I give it 10

The View Askewniverse

I know it's been a long time since the last blog, that I wrote. This time I am going to write about something that I have not written about before, and that is The View Askewinverse. For those of you asking, what is the View Askewniverse, it is the universe, surrounding Kevin Smith's Production company View Askew. The company is called View Askew for a reason, and that reason is that your view is askewed when you watch one of Smith's movie. It is askew, whether it be good or bad, that is what he wants you to happen.
For those of you who don't know the movies that are part of this universe are Clerks, Mallrats,Drawing Flies, Chasing Amy, Vulgar, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back,Jersey Girl, Clerks II, and as of Friday, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. A majority of these films have the reoccurring characters, such as Jay and Silent Bob. The Only ones that so not are Drawing Flies, Vulgar, and Zack and Miri.
I find these movies made by Smith and company to be a great set of movies. I know there are people who disagree with me, but that is their opinion, and I'll respect that.

Movies from our past

I've realized that most people remember things from their childhood, For me one movie or character that stands out are the Ernest P. Worrell movies. the reason why I remember these is because they made you feel like these things that happen, could happen to you. Maybe that is just me, but it is true.
There are a couple of things that you knew were always going to happen with the Ernest movie: 1. A story that turns out worse than normal. 2. Ernest was going to talk to his friend Vern who you never saw. 3. Jim Varney (Ernest) was going to play 12 characters, and 4. it works out in the end with a few bumps and bruises.
There is one question that I wanted answered, but I think I have one. The question is: why don't we ever see Vern? The answer, we are Vern!

Movies from our Childhoods

I just wanted to let all readers know that I will soon be writing about a movie from my childhood. It is a movie that I love. It involves something that's yellow, a children's television show, and something that's eight feet tall. It also includes some "grouchy things if you catch my drift.

A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange. What can we say about this film by Stanley Kubrick. It is one of those movies that makes you feel like you are tripping on acid, LSD, or some other mind altering drug.
This movie tells the story of a hooligan, or a gangsta (by today's standards), named Alex. The movie tells about his trials and tribulations of his life in England. It also tells how his life changes because he spent time in jail. While Alex was in jail, he would volunteer to go through this "life altering" correction, which would allow his to become a non violent person. After that everything went down hill. On a scale of 1-10, I'll give this movie a 8.75

Juno, this movie was decent

Just recently I had watched the movie Juno, which is a movie about a teenage girl named Juno who gets pregnant by her friend/boyfriend Paulie Bleeker. After she finds out Juno decides to give the baby up to a family that she finds in a newspaper. Juno decides to do this because she doesn't feel that she can take of the baby and she doesn't want to get an abortion.
While watching this movie it doesn't look like it is going to work out, but in a what is some what of a "story-book 'Cinderella'" ending everything works out and.... I'm not going to say anything else because I don't want to ruin the ending for people who haven't seen this movie yet.
On a scale of one to ten I give this movie an 8

It hurts getting hit in The Balls of Fury

Just recently I had watched the ping pong movie Balls of Fury. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't a great movie, but it had its moments. It was a hell of a lot funnier to me than, Walk Hard. maybe this is just me, or maybe it is the fact that Christopher Walken saved this movie from being a flop of a movie. I guess being a film major, I see things about movies a lot differently than everyone else. Agree with me about my opinion of this movie being ok and not being the greatest, or not, I really don't care!

Walking Hard because we need Cox; Dewey Cox that is

Many people told the movie Walk Hard:The Dewey Cox Story was very, very good. They also told me it was funny, and that it would make me laugh. I totally disagree. IT was not very, very funny, and it did not make me laugh. I was waiting 90 mins. for something to laugh at, but never found it. I am sorry to disappoint the many people that told me this John C. Reilly movie was funny. I did not find any of the movie funny at all. to me it was a really bad "after school special," for those of you who remember those. I know most of you don't, but trust me on this one, I've seen worse movie (i.e. Deconstructing Harry) that were better that this.
Hate me all you want for saying this, but this is how I totally truly feel about this movie and I will also continue to feel like this.

The very special Feb. 29th movie post

Honestly, to tell you the truth I am writing this movie blog today, because leap years happen once every four years, yeah, yeah, I know, thanks for pointing that out Captain Obvious. Just writing this to let people know that I have hit a milestone with the DVDs. Now here's where you guys reading this, and that's probably very few of you, because I can hear the crickets chirping.But for those of you who are reading, I am writing because The milestone, which I'll get to in a minute or so, comes on this Feb. 29, which happens once every four years. Ok, now to get to the milestone, 400 DVDs. That is all

In the Valley of Elah

This was a very interesting movie that starred Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron. This is about a soldier named Mike Deerfield, whose father Henry (played by Jones) is trying to find him after he comes back from Iraq and goes AWOL.
Henry finds out that his son has gone AWOL when the base calls the home to look for him. Henry takes his case to the police, but is told that he has to go to the military police, but wants the state police to take care of it. The reason for it is because he is a former army man and knows how they will work.
Henry forces his way into helping the police find his son and find out what happened; and also find out who did it. This happens the entire movie which was interesting, because it had twists and turns the entire time, and makes you think what happened, who did it, and what certain things could mean when the characters see them and are trying to go after the attackers. This movie will make you think. I want you to go see this movie.

The Simpsonos Movie, Casino, The Weird Al show, and Halloween (2007)

These are some of the other movies, that I have received as Christmas presents and watched since obtaining them. They all have their moments that make them really, really good movies. I enjoyed every single one of them. This isn't going to be one of those blogs that drags on about them.
First was the Simpson's Movie. This movie was more entertaining the second time around when I saw it on DVD. It seemed like the moments that weren't funny in the theater, were funnier on DVD. Why does that always happen? One thing that was funny on the DVD, but not in the theater was the whole "Spider Pig/Harry Plopper" thing. I think that is weird this time around. This movie was very good. This time it gets a 6 out of 10.
Casino; what can I say about that. Awesome movie, with Joe Pesci, Al Pacino, and Sharon Stone. It is about a criminal/gangster/mob guy, who is running a respectable casino in Vegas of all places. The only thing is that he is running it without the proper papers that he needs, and gets caught. In that process, Ace's wife, played by Sharon Stone is stealing his money to give it to someone else. In the end everything is made right, and Joe Pesci's character of Nicky is killed off.
The Weird Al Show was extremely hysterical from beginning to end. I loved each and every moment of it. There is no other to describe it, other than "Weird," if you will.There were such other participants on the show such as John Tesh, Ron Propeil, Tony Little, Victoria Jackson, The BareNaked Ladies, The Hooded Avenger, and Harvey The Wonder Hamster.
The 2007 Version of Halloween. Way different from the original, but it wasn't horrible. It made you think when you were watching it. It was way out there, as was any Rob Zombie movie. What Can I say?

Warriors Come Out and Play!!!

The Warriors. What can I say about The Warriors? It is a very interesting movie, about a gang called the Warriors who have to battle to get back to their home turf in Coney Island. The thing that makes it hard for them to do this is that Luther, a member of another gang shoots Cyrus, the ultimate gang leader, and blames it on The Warriors. A call goes out over the radio, and every gang is out to get them. While in the process Swan who becomes the new leader of the Warrior, get a girl, Mercy, to start tagging along with him.
This movie showed the struggle of what happens when someone is challenged, and they have to defend themselves, and make it back to their "turf" to be safe. It also shows what happens what happens when you have friends to help you defend yourself. What else more do you need in a movie?
This movie was totally awesome. The entire time I knew that they were going to make it, but I wanted to see if they would. Out of a possible 10 stars I give it 9 7/8

sequles

You ever notice in the movie world how some sequels are horrible even though the originals are great. One movie that falls into this category is The Sandlot.
The Sandlot is a great movie, directed by Mickey David Evans, the its sequel The Sandlot 2 is horrible. It is a cheap rip-off the original. The only difference in the movie is that a girl becomes one of the main characters. No, I am not saying that anything is wrong with that, but again this is a rip-off of the original.
Two thumbs down for the Sandlot 2

BARENAKED IN AMERICA

No, it's not what you think. No, it's not an adult film. Let me tell you this. Think of a band who's name has the words bare and naked in it. That's right it's a documentary about the Barenaked Ladies. It was directed by their fellow Canadian countryman Jason Priestly (Beverly Hills 90210 fame). He did this documentary to show the trials, tribulations, failures, and the successes of the Canadian band the Barenaked Ladies. It tells their trips from childhood to adult and the previous things mentioned. Priestly does a good job at showing how five from Canada can push themselves to succeed. Yes, they've had some set backs, like having one member of the band go into the hospital, because of Lukiema, and making his way back to the band.
This also tells how they all wound up meeting and how and why they decided to form a band called The Barenaked Ladies. One interesting fact that I learned while watching this was they got kicked off a Canadian music festival tour because of their name. The mayor of Toronto thought that they were naked women dancing and singing and told them they were not able to perform.

20+1+2=23, 8+6+6+3=23,

The Number 23 is a mystery movie starring Jim Carrey. It was a very interesting movie about how everything adds up to the number 23. This all starts when Carrey's character Walter reads a book called The Number 23. It tells a story about a kid named Fingerling who becomes a detective. He finds out that the lady who kills herself has a name that comes down to the number 23. I am not going to tell you how or why, except that it does. The book in the movie is written by someone named "Topsy Krett." That's top secret for those who don't get it. All in all The Number 23 was alot better than I thought it was going to be. This is all that I am going to tell you for now. Watch the rest and tell me what you think!!!!!!!!

28:06:42:12

Donnie Darko is a very interesting movie, that not a lot of people know about. It is about a kid, of course named Donnie Darko, who has mental problems. Through out the entire movie we follow the progress of what happens to Donnie, while he is in school home and whatever else he does. We follow Donnie throughout the 28 days that this movie takes place. In those 28 days many different things happen to him. He meets a girl named Gretchen; who becomes his girlfriend, exposes a motivational speaker who has child porn in his basement, and we meet his imaginary friend Frank The Bunny!

I know what you are thinking "Frank the Bunny?" I am not going to mention anymore about that character, so what I am trying to say is watch the movie and find out what I am talking about.
There are two things that stick out from this movie and they are; "...You can go suck a fuck." and the second thing is "What are Feces? Baby mice!"
My words of advice go see Donnie Darko!

So many movies, so much crap.

Movies today, what can I say about them? There are plenty of things that I can say, whether or not it may be good or bad from my point of view compared to the movies that were around from when I was a wee lad, not that I was ever wee. The first thing I have to say is that most movies today loads of crap and are stupid. These movies that are supposed to be funny, wore themselves out after my freshman year of high school. I mean they would be even better if Chris Farley was still alive and teamed up with David Spade. Hell they would be funny if Phil Hartman was still alive as well. I know for many people do not find them funny, but they made me laugh my fat backside off back in the day.
The reason why I think most of the movies today are crap, is because they rip off many different movies that were done by Farley, Spade, and Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey and many different members of the SNL cast of the early to mid-80s to early 90s.
I know many people might not agree with this, but I don't really care about what they think. So, all in all, they should try and see things my way for a change.

Bigfoot, Pot, & Camping

These are three main topics in the movie Drawing Flies. This is one of the movies to be released by View askew Production. It is shot in black and white, which makes it more interesting to me. Drawing Flies stars Jason Lee as Donner, and Jason Mewes as Az. It tells the story of the two of them and their roommates.
How do Bigfoot, Pot, & Camping come into play? Bigfoot comes into play, because Donner watches an episode of the Twilight Zone, which makes a mention to bigfoot, and this is where the camping comes into play in the movie. It comes into play because Donner (Lee) cons everyone to go so he could find Bigfoot. Camping also comes into play because, Donner, Az, four of their roommates, didn't get their welfare checks that day. Since Donner saw that one episode, he decides that he wants to go find Bigfoot, and cons his roommates to go because his uncle has "a cabin in the woods." They start smoking pot on the trip so that ay they do not get bored on the trip with Donner.
I'll leave the ending out, but one thing this movie teaches us is: "A monster is a terrible thing to waste!"

Masters of the Universe

Yes, I know that its been a while since I've last posted a blog entry. The last movie that I wound up watching was Masters of the Universe. This movie is an old 1980s movie that is so horrible, that it is great in a sense. There are many things that make this movie great. Don't get me wrong, there are better movies out there than this, but this movie reminds me of my childhood.
Let me ask you this. How many times do you get to see Dolph Lundgren run around in a fur covered speedo, leather straps, and a cape? HUH, HUH, HUH????? Bet you don't have an answer to that now do you? There are many more reasons why I like this movie, other than it bringing back memories of childhood. I mean most of the characters from the tv show were in the movie, but there could have been more.
Again, I know that this movie is bad, but I enjoy it anyway.

Masters of the Universe

I honestly don't know how many people remember the movie Masters of the Universe starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man, the hero of the He-man cartoons. It was a live action movie from 1987. It tells the story of what happens in a dream world of Julie Winston, played by Courtney Cox (of Friends fame). It tells the story of how Gwildor has a magical key that can allow him to transport to different dimensions. To get away from Skeletor played by Frank Langella, Gwildor takes himself, He-man, Man-at-Arms, and Teela to Julies home town. By doing that they had left the universe of Etrenia. The thing is that Skeletor's hench-woman Evil-Lynn has an extra copy of Gwildor's Key.
An entire adventure takes place throughout the town and has to keep everyone and save the Sorceress. I am not going to tell you what happens, so guess what? Go find it and watch it

One set of movies that I don't get

One set of movies that I don't get or wish to understand at all are the Harry Potter movies. I mean I get it's about some magical kid named Harry Potter. The thing that I don't get is what makes it so damn great. I can understand what makes other movies so great, and those things are action, adventure, story lines, characters, and what ever else goes into making a movie. To me the Harry Potter movies are for forty year-old virgins who still live in their mom and dads basement and play D&D for like eight or nine hours at a time.
I see no point in making a series about a kid who isn't really that important. I can say this knowing that the movies that I like are not important to everyone else, but, it's like who is really into this movies of magic and mystical sages other than the forty year-old virgin who lives in the basement and plays D&D. To me these movies should stop being made along with any movie starring Vin Diesel, Jennifer Aniston, Vince Vaughn, and any other crappy actor that just happened to get lucky.
I feel that Harry Potter is a huge waste of my time and a big waste of yours. It makes me think about why movies like this are actually made. Maybe my opinion about these movies is wrong, but a lot of people have the wrong opinion about the movies that I like. Until you the "faithful" Harry Potter viewer, hell maybe even viewers out there in this world, if there are more than one of you, give the movies I like a chance, don't go ragging on me!
So what I'm trying to get at is, Harry Potter is just about as interesting as a movie starring "The Rock."

Recent movies

Recently I have seen many different movies. Most of them have left me very or somewhat disappointed with the out at the end of the movie. Some of those movies have been Hot Fuzz, and Transformers. I don't know what it was about the two of these movies that were made lately, but it is like they need to be made a little, nay a lot better. It seems like today many movies are just being made for the sole purpose of being made (i.e. Harry "fucking" Potter, or any movie that The "Crock" was in).
Movies like this that everyone goes to see, that fizzle out in a week are the dumbest things I've ever seen previews for. I don't understand why people go to see a movie with The Rock in them. To tell people the Rock isn't that good of an actor. Hell, I am sorry to say this but Jason Mewes (Jay of Jay and Silent Bob fame), is a better actor than the Rock. I am sorry to say this and burst the bubble of many people that enjoy his acting skills.
I honestly don't understand why people get pissed off at me when I tell them this, but it is the truth

The Squid and The Whale

The Squid and The Whale, is an interesting movie that was entered into a New York independent film Festivle. It tells the story of the Berkman family. The parents of the family Bernard and Joan Berkman are professional writers; who eventually get a divorce.THey wind up sharing joint custody of their two kids Walt and Frank, who Joan calls "Pickle" and "Chicken." Many strange things happen throughout the course of this movie. Later on towards the end, we find out what the title of the movie means. The oldest son Walt mentions that when him and his mom went to the Museum of Natural history he was afriad of the Display of the Squid and the Whale in the mammal room.
I enjoyed this movie, because it shows us that every single family is not normal, and they have problems. In a way it tells you to respect your family, because they are the only one that you have.

Jackass Number Two

The last movie that I wound up watching was the movie Jackass Number Two. At first, I didn't think that it would be funny at all. I was proven wrong by that, because the usual suspects of Jackass made me laught my fat backside off. One thing that got me to laugh was the "card thrower segment involving 'Wee-Man.'"
I found this movie to be funny. one a scale of 1-10 i give it an 8.

More posts on the way

Yes, I know the posts haven't been put up that much lately, but there will be more rather soon. I say that because I've literally have watched every movie that I've watched and cannot write a review on every single one of them. I will work on watching new movies and writing new blog entries, but that will take time. Please be patient, because I can only watch one movie at a time.

Poolhall Junkies

The last movie that I have watched for about the 15th time is Poolhall Junkies. This movie was co-written, directed by, an produced my Mars Callahan, who plays the lead role of Johnny Dole, who is a pool hustler. The other cast members are Christopher Walken, Chazz Palmentari, Rick Schorder and Alison Eastwood. This story tells us about the world of hustling in poolhalls, and that if you get into this world, you better be careful, because you don't know who is going to screw you. It also allows us to see inside this world of what happens. One a scale of 1-10 I give it an 8

Jeepers Creepers where'd ya get those peepers

The last movie that I wound up watching was the movie Jeepers Creepers. It is a movie about two kids who are coming off on spring brak when all of a sudden they get rammed in the back of their car, then drives away. They wind up seeing the same truck down the road by an old church. Darry and his sister Trish, stop by the church after the creature pulls away in the truck that it hit them with and goes somewhere else. Darry and Trish stop by the chuch because they see this creature dump bodies down a pipe.
After a while they stop in a resteraunt and find out that this thing is following them and they have to escape. They hear this from a pyschic who tells them if they hear the song "Jeepers Creepers, where'd you get those peepers, Jeepers Creepers where'd you get those eyes?!"
To find out about everythign else watch the movie.
