Iron Man

From the Ain't It Cool News talkback regarding to John Favreau talking about the movie "Iron Man," based off the comic...

"Black Sabbath for the title track

They are insane if they don't use "Iron Man" from Sabbath in this movie, at least once."

That was funny to me. I can't imagine that song working in the movie, at all. But what do I know?

IMDB...

Scanning the IMDB boards for "Spider-Man 3," I saw something..completely hilarious. The statement and question put forth by "Sexy-funny-lil-bugger":

"I was just watching the CC trailer in media player, and I noticed something.

At around 1:08 +, there are quite about 5 scenes conaining water (Sandman being washed away being the main one. However, after that, there is a man that appears wearing a blue t-shirt, and someone firing blue (water?) stuff out of there eyes).

Is this hydroman's work? Is he the forth villain? Please don't flame me, but if not, where is all the water from?"

The solution from "nestLEE":

"I swear the scene you're talking about is just a train going past sandman"

Amazing. Stay tuned..

Video of Venom (Blurz a plenty.. =[ )

This LOOKS to be REAL..But..you can't see SHIT. But it's still cool, I NEED TO SEE BIG VERSION..Come on APPLE, GET THIS SHIT ON THE PAGE NOW!!



UPDATE #2!!!!!!: I've heard hints of the footage being online TODAY, SUNDAY THE 23RD! CHECK BACK IN LATER TODAY! Until then ENJOY THAT BARELY VISIBLE VERSION! I HAVE TO TYPE IN CAPS BECAUSE I'M SO GODAMN HYPED AND EXCITED..OH GOD.

Venom..Almost! Arg!

Well, while I was working tons of Comic-con news went up and over at the official website for "Spider-Man 3," they put up a wallpaper teasing the hell out of Venom. People at Comic-con actually SAW Venoms face, but for now all we have is this teaser wallpaper..I'm so sad. I want to see what Venom looks like SO FUCKING BAD. Venom is my favorite comic book character and I am hyped he's in the movie..just come on..must see picture. PLEASE SONY, PUT THE DAMN PICTURE/VIDEO UP THAT YOU SHOWED AT COMIC-CON. I BEG YOU.

Link to the tease wallpaper for VENOM.

Ugh, on Superhero Hype! they posted it as it was a picture of Venom, only it's not..it's a fucking tease. I got all excited and saw it and was so letdown. Ugh. I seriously hope this footage becomes public soon, I'm DYING to see it. Motherfucker, I wish I lived on the West Coast. All the cool movie stuff happens there. A lot of cool movie stuff happens in Texas too because that's where the head of the site Ain't It Cool News is from and that's where ALL of their events are hosted. Grrrrrrr! More coming soon, also a review of "Benchwarmers." I've been quite busy...Check back in soon!

Transformers News

To anyone who cares, at Comic-con Peter Cullen called in during the presentation for the new live action version of "Transformers." He called in to announce that he will be voicing Optimus Prime. I'm not a huge fan of Transformers and haven't seen anything too great yet to really get me excited for the movie.

On the other hand that does seem to be good news as Peter Cullen was the original voice actor for Optimus Prime. Anyone a fan of Transformers got an opinion? Chime in with a comment. That's it for now, maybe some more news later.

Joker Casting...

While this news has been buzzing around for a couple of days I didn't want to update with the information because at the time it wasn't 100% true yet. It was still just a rumor. As of right now though multiple sites so far have basically unofficially confirmed it and have hinted at an official confimation very soon (maybe nin the following days at Comic Con.) If you COULDN'T tell from the ending of "Batman Begins," that the next villain in the series was going to be the Joker then you either have clue about anything Batman, or there's something totally wrong with you.

According to a ton of sources the Joker will be played by Heath Ledger. I dunno...I don't know what to say. Ledger is a decent actor and I'm not gonna bash him since I haven't seen anything from the movie yet but I think it's quite an interesting casting choice. I never would've seen Ledger as being the person chosen for the part but Nolan is an awesome director and I'm sure he knows what he's doing. The sequel to "Batman Begins," I'm sure will be awesome. One question, why the hell was it such a problem for me to find a cool picture of the Joker? Anyways, That's pretty much it for me until later tonight maybe if anything important pops up, which I'm pretty sure it will so check back in. Also, check out my previous post and check out the "Children of Men," trailer. For some reason I love the damn thing. I just hope the movie is as good as I'm expecting it to be..

How Does This Sound?

Alright, I don't know if I'm going to be reviewing movies in the next couple of days. I'm somewhat short on time so I figured..there will be A LOT of movie news coming out from the Comic-Con convention in San Diego so I will update with the more important news that I read about. At the moment nothing too big has come out yet, but on the intraweb two movie trailers did come out today that looks quite good and some information from Comic-Con as well..

The first movie is called called "Children of Men." I read about this movie a month or so ago and thought that it was a very interesting idea. Today there is a trailer for it and while it doesn't look 100% great it looks original and good. Clive Owen is a good actor and he seems good in the movie. Julianne Moore actually looks pretty in the trailer, unlike in "The Lost World: Jurassic Park." Although, that has nothing to do with the movie but I just figured I would point it out. This film is directed by Alfonso Cuaron and i think will turn out to be quite the good movie..I'm not gonna explain the plot, it will probably be more enjoyable to learn it from the trailer. So, here you go:

Link for the "Children of Men," trailer.

IMDB link for "Children of Men."

Let me know what you think of it. To me it has somewhat of an original feel to it and looks quite good. There is one line of dialogue that is weird to me right in the beginning, but. Ehh. Try to guess what line it is while commenting on what you think of the trailer. It's probs way easy. Also, I looove the music playing near the end of the trailer as well although I have no clue where it's from. Really great stuff overall. I look forward to the comments, if I get any.

Next? Well, I was going to save this for a separate post for later but there has been further news! First off today a teaser trailer was released for the new CGI "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," movie coming out in March of 2007. Suprisingly..it doesn't look bad.

Here's the link to the teaser trailer for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

Following that, the awesome web page known as Superhero Hype! posted news from Comic-Con as well as pictures of new character posters, one for each turtle. The writer/director, Kevin Munroe was there and showed 5 minutes of film and then talked a bit. Evidently this film is set after the second TMNT film. The character of Splinter is going to be voiced by a chinese actor known as "Mako." I have no clue who that is..that's all that it states. While the villain is NOT Shredder he does make an appearance in the film. This could be a setup for him to maybe be the villain in the next movie. Munroe also said that Casey Jones and April develope a relationship in the movie (isn't Casey Jones the hockey mask bad guy? I can't remember..) Finally, one of my favorite composers, Marco Beltrami will be composing the score. Munroe also said that he wanted Beltrami to make a memorable theme for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," like the theme for "Batman."

I am QUITE excited by this. I LOVED the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a kid and this is sounding like a somewhat mature take on the series. Oh boy, this sounds very cool. I'm interested now...Very interested.

IMDB link for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

I didn't want my "Children of Men," post to not be read because of the "TMNT," post being at the top since "Children of Men," looks promising...so I updated the first post. Now that I've editted the hell out of this post let me know what you think of BOTH of those movies and sorry for any confusion due to updating a previous post. Check back in later for sure because I'm sure there will be more news.

Grizzly

"Grizzly (1976)"

Oh man..this is going to be a way short update. Remember my post about Bear Rampage? O'Kay..I mentioned a movie called "Grizzly." I've recently download that movie and watched it, as you can see I'm reviewing it. So..the movie? This movie..is TERRIBLE. It's about a Grizzly Bear who is killing people in a national part. It's like "Jaws," only really bad. Bad acting..and just terrible. The bear picks people up and..it's just crazy. He cuts arms off with just one swipe of his huge arm.. It seems like he just punched a horse and the head came off. Ridiculous.

One thing that did happen that was kinda' funny was he cut some kids leg off. It was terrible, but hilarious. -Thinks.- Umm...it's in full screen which pissed me off from the beginning. I can't stand full screen. Widescreen is the way I prefer to watch my movies...and unfortunately this does not come in it. Well..not that I care cause it's piss poor. I can't stress how bad this movie is.. They kill the bear with a rocket launcher, A GODAMN ROCKET LAUNCHER (Oh my god! Spoilers! The movies 30 years old and crappy. I assume no one cares.) Just..ugh. I could make a better movie about bears attacking, for realsie. There isn't even a lot of footage of bears so...you can't even get that out of it. Just completely terrible. It's so terrible that I can't even say anything about it or make fun of it..that's how terrible it is.

IMDB Link for "Grizzly."

Coming soon: I seriously don't know, may not have a post until Sunday due to work...Tis' a shame.

Killer Bears? Yes Please.

This post is completely different from my normal posts but whatever, it's movie related and fun..One day I saw some cheap-ass bear attack movie set in some snowy area..and I thought, "Someone should make a bear attack movie, A GOOD ONE. It would be awesome. I can imagine it now." I came home and did some research and found a movie called "Grizzly." It wasn't what I had in mind, not to mention the terrible tagline. You can check out the DVD here Afterwards I conversed with my buddy Nick about it..we came up with one of the goofiest/coolest/weird things ever. I went at it and made TWO posters for it. Here are the marketing posters (double click for bigger versions,) along with a bit of information about them, for the future film titled "Bear Rampage":


Halfway through this poster, it looked good because I hadn't added the houses yet. Once I started the houses though, about 75% ways done, the quality began declining and it is pretty much a terrible/near mediocre poster, and it took mediocre skills to make it. Once I finished this one, I was quite unhappy with it. Afterwards I had an idea to take a different approach with the style of the poster since I was unhappy with my first approaching style..this one took A LOT of time to make and it was worth it. Despite some akward looking parts, overall it looks damn good if you ask me..


Totally awesome poster..Don't ask me why the bears arm is being held by a piece of rope, I screwed up with my sketching and outlining. Adding the rope was how I fixed it. In the end, it looks funnier that way. Also, I know the picture isn't perfectly balanced but I tried to do a decent job with it. I stick by my opinion, totally awesome.

So I put forth the question to all of you, would you see this movie based on those posters despite their mediocrity? Would you see it based on the posters? The basic gist of the plot you get from the posters? Finally, would you see it knowing it has awesome taglines? Which might I say, the tagline from the second poster was stolen from us by a godamn show that airs on comedy central, bastards. The point is, I sure as hell would see it, never mind seeing it I WANT to make that movie...

Coming soon: A review of something, maybe later tonight. Probably won't be up until later tomorrow though. Maybe I will get some more fun stuff up here though in between. Who knows.

Disney....Why Try?

"Chicken Little (2006)"

First off, before I start reviewing this I just want to point out that I love kids movies..I really do. It just happens that 75% of them are terrible. Also, after trying to find a decent poster for this movie I also realised that there ARE NONE. All the posters for this are terrible..

This movie is poor. Very poor. It's extremely loosely based on the short story of Chicken Little, you know.. "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" Blah blah. Disney reintroduces us to the clich'e town that is inhabitted by talking animals (don't kids get tired of the same shit over and over again?) Chicken Little is ringing the bell shouting the sky is falling, his father doesn't stick up for him and insists it's an acorn that hit him. This is the main focus: Chicken Little's father and his horrible parenting skills. He never believes in his son.

A year later and people are still talking about Chicken Little and his "accident." Chicken Little tries to win his fathers respect/love by playing baseball! He does! But guess what happens? That same night he gets hit with a piece of the sky AGAIN. Oh no..he needs to make a decision. Decide whether to tell his father (who won't believe him,) or keep it a secret. He calls over his clich'e friends (one's fat and constantly afraid/nervous while the other is ugly and smart.) The only one sort of original feeling is "Fish Out of Water," who is a fish with a helmet on that has water in it so he can be out of water. So witty!

So...the fish hits a button and this piece of the sky turns on and then floats up and attatches to something invisible and moves away. They follow it, it's a U.F.O. A creature on the U.F.O gets off and when the U.F.O leaves it returns to destroy town..oh boy. The end is nigh'. But wait, I have a question. This poster to the right had what I considered false advertising on it (double click it for bigger version.) There's a red circle around the part I'm talking about.

Maybe I'm retarded and am taking the poster to seriously since I mean some do say some weird shit on them. On the other hand the poster pretty much says, "The sky is seriously falling in this flick. That's the plot, no joke." Yet..IT'S NOT. WHAT THE FUCK? Then you go in there and get a bunch of shit about U.F.O's, Chicken Littles father sucking at parenting and a really terrible side story where Chicken Little likes Abby, the ugly duckling. Which basically has one set up line, Abby calls him cute by accident. That's IT. Then Chicken Little just bursts out the line, "I ALWAYS FOUND YOU ATTRACTIVE." and BAM, Kisses her. It makes NO FUCKING SENSE.

Before I compliment the film let me just say to me this was basically a 60 minute parenting lesson. Teaching parents to "STICK BY" their child even if what they say is totally whacked out. Yeah right. The only situation a parent should listen to their child no matter what is when he mutters the words, "Daddy/Uncle/Neighbor/Aunt/Any other odd relative or associate of the family including the family dog, touched me." Otherwise, don't believe half of the shit your children say and if they lie beat them..

To compliment the film? The only thing this gets a compliment about from me is the graphics. Cool stuff, if only they did something truly interesting with CGI instead of just kids movies. The music sucks, it's mostly lame-ass music like two of the characters Karaoke singing to Spice Girls, fucking UGH. Some Bare-Naked Ladies song..just, ugh. Enough of these dumbass movies.

"Over The Hedge" beats the hell out of this stupid-ass movie. Not only was it better, but it didn't have any stupid pop culture jokes in it or anything. Fuck "Chicken Little," "Over The Hedge," is the better kids movie. Disney should be kissing John Lasseters ass because without him that company would be in the toilet. Prepare to see the return of decent movies coming out of from Disney with him in charge, and less of this shit.

I highly suggest not seeing "Chicken Little," unless you're bored and just have it or if you REALLY want to see it because otherwise it's just gonna be lame. I saw the trailer for it and it looked fun, but it wasn't..It really wasn't. Maybe in a very, very young childs mind but I can't see anyone older then 9 enjoying this immensely.

IMDB link for "Chicken Little."

Coming Soon: I think I know what I'm going to post tomorrow along with a movie review maybe if I can a movie in. Definately check back in tomorrow. Something new will be here...

Alexandre Aja, A Director To Keep An Eye On..

"The Hills Have Eyes (2006)"

Before I say anything..I just want to say that I think that poster is fucking awesome. It just gives you a hint at the sick shit you're going to see in this movie. You know it's gonna be something terrible..but you don't know just how bad it's going to be. Great stuff. Now, onto the movie...

This movie..is brutal in every way possible. It just has a RAW feeling to it..Alexandrea Aja is going to be a fucking LEGEND when it comes to the Direction and so forth of horror movies. I'm telling you. If you don't believe me go and watch "High Tension." I don't think I've ever been on the edge of my seat like I was watching it. Fucking AMAZING. It only has one flaw, but that's a story for a different time.

This movie..is a bit different. This is a remake of the Wes Craven film before it, only this remake doesn't suck like 90% of them do. This thing fucking scares the SHIT out of you and is fucking INTENSE (nowhere near as intense as "High Tension," but still..what do you expect, the fucking movie is called "High Tension.")The basic plot is: Test nuclear bomb radiation has disfigured a group of people. They are moved to a secluded area. A family is driving to California, they stop to get gas. The owner of the station helps these mutants kill people..only he doesn't do it anymore. The mutants give him a bag of suspicious items. Unfortunately for the family one of them walks into the room (doesn't see what's in it,) and he suspects she does, so he sends them the mutants way. What ensues is pure torture and fucking intense cinema.

First off, the acting is damn good. Everyone is good, especially Dan Byrd who plays Bobby. When he is pissed off, YOU BELIEVE HE IS PISSED OFF. Not once does he come across as he's overacting which can be hard to do when you play angry. I am quite interested in seeing what he does next after watching this. Emilie de Ravin (CLAIRE FROM LOST!) is good as Brenda and Aaron Stanford is really good as Doug. Those are the MAIN characters. Everyone cast in this film acts VERY GOOD. The only person who sometimes wasn't great was the gas station owner played by Tom Bower.

Anyways, the first 20 minutes they flesh out the characters, then the story picks up and then comes one of the most intense things to ever come out of American Cinema (I say American because half of our horror movies fucking blow, there are some awesome foreign ones.) I'm not going to say who dies and so forth because I've never seen the original and I don't know if the victims are EXACTLY the same but the family is attacked in the trailer (this includes..a rape, and pointing a gun at a baby. Intense shit,) and the story picks up full circle. They compose a plan and Doug attempts to rescue his baby meanwhile the remaining family attempts to stay alive.

The Mutant guys are fucking DISGUSTING. I won't give you too many details because if you're going to watch the movie I suggest you go in cold. I didn't know much about the movie going in and I was kinda' waiting to see what they looked like. Suprise reaction, much better. Just know..they are ugly motherfuckers.

Some of the gore in the movie is just for shock value but some of it is just brutally raw and real. Robyn was saying she felt sick watching it, that's how raw and fucking real/intense it is. It's rare that you watch a movie that does that and I agree with her, it was a bit sickening, but it didn't bother me. This actually help you get INTO the movie and root for the good guys..and I never do that. By the climax of the movie me and Robyn were totally rooting for the good guys.

The way this movie is shot feels RAW. Part of that is because of it being located in the desert (which by the way, the landscape is beautiful.) But, just the look of everything feels real. Not like some horror movies where you notice stuff that pulls you out of the film, for me I didn't notice one thing that did that for me.

I don't understand how people can get away with making such shitty fucking movies when you have someone like Alexandre Aja writing and directing such bad-ass films (although this was a remake..he still wrote and directed "High Tension.") For example? "House of the Dead," "An American Haunting," and "The Ring/The Ring 2." I've never seen the Japanese "Ringu," films but the American ones SUCKED, but I know tons of people disagree with me on this one..so whatever.

The only problem with this movie? The ending, I won't ruin it for you but once the last shot starts up, you can tell the end. Really lame and it's a total shame because it's probably the ONLY bad thing about this film..

The real point? If you're going to watch one horror movie this year, I say watch this. Fuck all the other movies, this is the one to check out. Alexandre Aja KNOWS horror movies and I am telling you has EXTREME potential to become a horror icon. He's fucking awesome and blows ALL the other horror movie directors straight the fuck out of the water. If you haven't seen "High Tension," go out and see it. I actually JUST bought it today because it was on sale at work for $10. It went down in price. Not many people know about it because it's foreign (it's in French,) but trust me..it's fucking AWESOME. Keep an eye on Aja, if he hasn't proved himself already with "High Tension," as having potential then this film should.

IMDB link for "The Hills Have Eyes."

Coming soon: So yeah, I'm pretty sure the next review up will be "Chicken Little." There may be some fun stuff up in between..depends on what I see/read.

Scooping It Up. (Spider-Man 3!)

Superhero Hype! got the scoop on the BRAND NEW "Spider-Man 3" Poster and here I am posting it! I've got it up BEFORE some other sites..so I'm happy! To bad no ones gonna see it here first. The poster is lenticular poster. That's a poster where when you walk past it it changes as you walk.... This is a pretty fucking awesome poster at that.. Every Spider-Man flick has ONE poster that stands out to me, and from the posters I've seen for "Spider-Man 3" the first poster released and this recent one have really stood out. I've seen another one that was really bland, can't seem to find it at the moment. It was basically Spidey swinging with a weird designed background. Bland. But otherwise..they're great.

This new poster is just increasing my eagerness to see this damn movie and I'm totally psyched already. Hopefully there will be some more exciting news coming out of Comic-Con being held July 20-23rd in San Diego!Oh my goooood! So exciting! Movie is going to kick ass. Jesus Christ, all this excitement and the damn movie is just under a year away, soooo far away. I'm beginning to ramble! Anyways, enjoy the poster brand new poster!

Coming soon: Sorry but I'm not gonna put up my "The Hills Have Eyes," review until tomorrow night so this way this can stay up top for a bit and people can check it out. It'll be a good one though! I promise..

Bloggers Need To Shut The Fuck Up.

O'Kay....I'm so tired of hitting the "Next Blog," button and seeing a bunch of douche bags who THINK they have something important to say (unlike myself, I know I have nothing important to say,) posting about the World Cup and Zidane whatever headbutting the dude from Italy. Enough of this shit you losers. Also, all of you Guinea assholes who are sticking the Italian flag on your fucking cars and putting it outside of your house, please save yourself the embaressment and save everyone else the aggrivation from having to see it.

Now that I've pissed off most likely half of the people who are going to come here, I will have my review up for "The Hills Have Eyes," very soon.

Online Discussion Of Movies Is So Godamned Funny

O'Kay, so earlier in the night me and Robyn went to Blockbuster and rented the movie "The Hills Have Eyes," and I will be putting up a review for it later on. I was excited..it's made by the guy who made "High Tension," and that movie is amazing..there's like 20 minutes of no dialogue just people being slaughtered and tortured..it's so fucking intense. Anyways, I'm straying from the point. I'm reading the forum for the film on this wonderful webpage known as the Internet Movie Database and this one douche bag is stating how so much of the movie (people fying back from gunshot wounds, dogs sniffing out mutants,) is IMPOSSIBLE.

All these stupid things that he thinks are impossible..Guess what? Intelligence emerges. Everything in this movie is possible, although it's extremely unlikely it will happen, especially the mutants running around the desert. While I knew this through my own intelligence other posts just enforced it. Fortunately though, there are also some damn funny responses,

Here is one from "Lstrawser":

"Did you happen to nottice that this movie was about mutants who eat other people in the most remote regions of the United States? Last time I checked no one was abducted by mutanats. So what in the hell are you complaining about?"

The best response of all from "Perzman":

"One thing that was impossible too was that music started whenever it got exciting. Was there a band somewhere? I haven`t seen it. It was so stupid."

Too funny. I was in no way involved in this pathetic argument, All I did was read it..I'm not that big of a loser. Anyways, read some of my past reviews or something. I'll have a review for "The Hills Have Eyes," probably later on..I may rewatch it. That should give you some insight on what I overall thought of the movie until tomorrow/later today..

Webslinger.

"Spider-Man 2 (2004)"

That poster was my favorite poster out of all of the ones used for marketing this movie. Anyways, rewatching this movie last night I realised that yeah, so far this is the best superhero movie to date that I've seen (I've yet to see the new Superman flick.) All the actors are back. The main plot is that Spider-Man is having problems and trying to juggle a social life along with his secret life as Spider-Man. He ends up giving up Spider-Man for a social life. Meanwhile an experiment backfires on Doctor Otto Octavius where 4 metal artms are stuck on his back and he becomes an enemy of Spider-Man.

All the acting is good but what the hell is with Kirsten Dunst? She used to be pretty but now..in some scenes she looks like she's on crack or something. I know I'm not the only person who thinks this because I've read such opinions elsewhere..But otherwise the acting is fine.

So..there's a lot of comedy in this movie. Like visual comedy. And it works, I realised that I always bitched about the action in this movie, and I know EXACTLY why. When you watch Dock Ock and Spider-Man fight..they're completely wreckless and just using anything at there disposal. This is what makes the fighting so damn intense. Unfortunately they don't let this kind of fighting go on long enough. Dock Ock always climbs up somewhere and threatens to drop someone, or runs away or some lame shit. Disappointing! I want to see more of Dock Ock ripping car doors off and throwing random shit off the street at Spider-Man..

Next...you have the side story where Norman Osbournes son (who's name escapes me at the second..) is trying to find out who Spider-Man is for killing his father. It works, will work better in the third movie now that it's completely set up. There's some scenes that stuck out to me as weird..such as where he smacks the shit out of peter at the party? So akward..and Peter just sits there humiliated. Pshh.

There's also the side story of Peter wanting to be with MJ but because he's Spider-Man he won't allow it. Yeah, this is pretty much a bulk of the movie..it gets boring at times but it pays off.

There's some really bad CGI of Dock Ock..yeah. The score, I don't know. It's OK. I wanted to buy the standalone CD but I'm not paying $15 for it. After some research I've discovered that they're much cheaper online and do indeed plan on buying them soon...I really like the main titles music. Problem is I heard that a lot of the music from the first was re-used cause Raimi loved it so much even as temp music. He would've even let Elfman attempt to score scenes. This pissed of Elfman and now that's why he is not scoring "Spider-Man 3."

One small nit-pick, I wish they wouldn't call it "Spider-Man 2," can't they be just a bit more creative? But anyways, the film works and is, until the next one comes out in May of 2007 the best comic book film to date that I've seen. "Spider-Man 3," looks much darker story wise. I hope it's also much darker action wise. We saw a glimpse of what it could be like where Dock Ock is in the hospital and just owning up on everyone in total silence. I'd like to see more intense action shots like that. Although chances are..we won't. Which is a damn shame.

"Spider-Man 2," is awesome though and is an amazing movie. After watching it, I'm again, hyped up for the next one. I can't wait for "Spider-Man 3." So far there's been a gradual rise in the quality of the movies and in the villains. Hopefully this will continue in the next film...I can't wait to see it for Topher Grace alone. He says one word in the trailer and to me he's NAILING what I would expect Brock to sound like, albeit he looks just a bit different..Point is, the movies good..watch it. Or rewatch it.

IMDB link for "Spider-Man 2."

Coming soon: Once again, I do not know..

The Sandman Was Creeping Up On Me, Not Death

"Final Destination 3 (2006)"

Remember my "Jurassic Park," posts? That is where this series is heading. The first and second "Final Destination" were somewhat good, not great but O'Kay, ( both of them also had a cameo by Tony Todd..this one doesn't. Why the fuck not? Tony Todd is awesome.) This..is the opposite of Tony Todd. Complete and utter shit.

If you don't know the basic plot of these movies let me explain it quickly in two sentences (really complicated..): People escape death, only death continues killing in the order they would've died originally. The characters must avoid death and be "skipped" and once the last person is skipped, you win..until the end of the movie because then you get the same ending each time.

Firstly, the acting? Terrible..completely terrible. By EVERYONE. The black jock asshole is probably the worst out of all of them although there are some runner ups. The whole cast is pretty godamn horrible though. Now, let me list for you the opening scenes in each movie. It's weird though because the quality doesn't do a straight decline, it rises then declines...

"Final Destination": Guy gets on board a plane. Has a vision it's going to blow up, gets off.
"Final Destination 2": Girl and a bunch of her friends driving away. She envisions this huge car pile up..which is very cool.
"Final Destination 3": Girl and a bunch of friends are at a carnival. They go on a roller coaster, she visions them all dying..gets off.

What baffles me is that they go from plane, to car..but skip the train. Why not use a train? Instead they decide to go with a fucking ROLLER COASTER and use the train at the end of the movie. So fucking lame. At least "Final Destination 2" kept the deaths interesting and kept you on your toes trying to figure out how characters were going to die..This one is pretty fucking lame. One girl is almost killed by this rope tied to a horse..it gets caught around her neck and it strangles her as the horse gallops about.

Not to mention an even LAMER death. Two girls die in tanning beds. So fucking dumb. I hope this is the last movie in this series that New Line plans on making because this was terrible. I watched this from 3:30 a.m. till' 5 in the godamn morning. If the movie was good I would've been wide awake..but no, I wasn't. I must've checked how far into the movie I was at least twice.

I can't stand these fucking dumb teen movies. Every now and then they'll put out a good one, but changes are 99% of the time the film you are going to see is complete shit. I'm convinced that right now the movie industry needs to fix to of their problems:

1) Start putting out some fresh and new material, no more shitty remakes.
2) Quit fucking marketing your movies towards teens. Don't be afraid to market movies towards adults. The number of R Rated movies compared to PG-13 rated movies is probably extremely low. Now I'm not saying that you can't have fun with a PG-13 movie, but a nice variety of movies to choose from would be nice that don't all have the same lame-ass PG-13 jokes/characters in them.

I've strayed from the point...my point? They use a fucking roller coaster as the opening scene. You know, the scene that's supposed to pull you into the movie and spark your interest. Trust me, this will not get you extremely interested in this movie. If anything it will pull you away from it...Besides it's seems like less people are falling to their death on roller coasters. If you plan on going on a roller coaster soon, be aware that there is a new style, falling to death is out. Dying like this is what's in.

Dying ON the roller coaster from some internal medical problem. Don't you know, it's all the rave? Not to mention this movie has the same ending that EVERY OTHER FUCKING MOVIE DID. Ouu, they survive deaths design...and then she starts to get that feeling and then BAM, the subway train crashes. Oh no, it cuts to black...and wait, what's this? I, the viewer, do not give a shit and haven't given a shit for the past half an hour of the film.

If you're bored and want to watch something, watch this. If not, don't ever watch this. It's total trash. In fact, it angers me that shit like this still gets made. What angers me even more is that someone, somewhere saw the commercial for this and thought to themselves, "HOLY SHIT...THEY'RE FUCKING ON A ROLLER COASTER AND IT'S OUT OF CONTROL. THIS LOOKS AWESOME, I NEED TO SEE THIS."

Continue "beating the dead horse" known as "Final Destination" New Lines..stupid-ass people will continue to go and see it, although I don't understand how, and why.

Aint It Cool News Talkback, Thank You..

Here is the "verbal" transaction that I just read. This pretty much floored me..as I read it and I was just like "Oh..my fucking god. So stupid..." I then proceeded to laugh out loud for a minute. So here you go.

Update coming later tonight about a train wreck known as "Final Destination 3."

Destroying All Other Films

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," is doing just that and destroying everything at the box office with an estimated one hundred and thirty something million just in it's first three days. I saw this last night and it really deserves to be raking in those numbers..

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)"

Depp reprises his role of Jack Sparrow, Bloom reprises Will Turner and Knightley Elizabeth Swan.All of them are good, for some reason Blooms acting doesn't bother me in these movie while a lot of people say he overacts. I don't notice it in this series..But anyways, The acting is good al around.

The movie starts off really dark with Elizabeth crying over her ruined wedding as a new bad guy, Cutler Beckett is introduced as he produces warrants for the arrest for Turner and Knightley (I think Sparrow too, I forget.) This puts the movies gears in motion..Beckett will give pardons to both of them (I think..someone correct me, I may be wrong..) if he can go and recieve Jack Sparrows compass. You know, the one that doesn't point north? And so..our 2 and a half hour journey begins.

My first and biggest problem with the film? There's not as much witty comedy in this one as their was in the first one. Don't get me wrong..this is pretty godamn funny still and even the running jokes are good despite the fact that you've heard them a couple of times already just slightly different. There is definately a lack of some of the charm that the first movie had.

My second problem? Once again the film is too long by 15/20 minutes. Maybe I'm the only one who feels this though..because I felt that the movie dragged in some parts. To me Jack Sparrow makes this movie as good as it is and since the group is split up..the parts with Will Turner and E. Swan sometimes felt like they dragged.

My final complaint? Davy Jones was cool..but he just...didn't have energy. I don't know, it seems like I'm the only godamn person who didn't think Davy Jones was great. He was O'Kay. Barbossa and his crew had energy, and were fun to watch. Davy Jones and his crew were nice to look at, (you can barely tell CGI from props in certain spots,) but lack personality. Maybe he will grow on me though with repeated watchings because I do plan on watching this again....

Yes, so far it seems like I don't like the movie, but I do and like I said will be watching it again. So here is what I completely LOVE about this film. About 20 minutes in the movie kicks into high gear with Turner landing on an island inhabitted by Cannibals. This is my favorite part of the movie.. It's hilarious and it has the best joke in it throughout the whole movie if you ask me and it IS one of the running jokes from the first movie. It also has some of the best jokes IN the movie.. This lasts about 20 minutes and is extremely fun to watch..I love this section of the movie...

It's amazingly cool how the writers kept the continuity from the first film in this and didn't fuck up. The first film was made and done. Then you have to pick up the pieces and write a trilogy out of it and work in characters from the first film, and the writers did a damn good job of doing this, something that could've ended up being a total disaster. One of the things that totally blew me away was that after the credits of the first film..we see the monkey take a piece of the gold and become dead again. Now I know this is really stupid, but it blew me away. In this film, they run with this and keep him undead despite the fact that most people probably shut the movie off the second the credits start. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing but that just made me happy. If they keep the continuity on something so small and it's viewed AFTER THE CREDITS, just think of how well they do the rest of the film. Norrington is worked into the script..if you haven't been keeping to close attention on the coverage of the film you'll be suprised by even minor roles from the first film turning into bigger roles in the second film!

I also loved the fact that while the plot is confusing as all hell. They never dumb it down. I was confused for parts of the movie...and won't fully understand all of it until I get another viewing in, but I still got the basic gist of what was going on. This is purely an example of how you don't have to dumb down things for the audience to understand. To many things are dumbed down in movies now-a-days. This is another reason why I love these movies.

Finally. I loved the whole climactic fight on the island. I'm not going to really ruin anything but the last half an hour is just pure fucking comedy and fun. There's no other way to put it..pure fucking fun. It basically is this 3-way Fight while a cat and mouse chase is going on..I can't stress how damn good this is to watch..once again PURE FUCKING COMEDY AND FUN. Be forewarned though, this movie is being referred to as "The Empire Strikes Back," of the series. What does that mean? Well..if you're a fan of Star Wars.. you know that "The Empire Strieks Back," is the middle film and like all middle films do..they don't advance the storyline that much. This isn't exactly the case..because for "Pirates of the Caribbean," there was no 3 story plot created in the first film, so this one not only introduces a new plot, but it doesn't finish it. In other words? Don't expect any real closure to the story, you will be disappointed.

I think Gore Verbinski has tremendous potential as a director. I've seen 3 of his films so far, maybe more that I don't know about. I've seen the original "Pirates of the Caribbean," "The Weather Man," and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest." and he chooses diverse movies to work with."Weather Man," while it may not be great, is a perfect example of diverse. I'm extremely interested in seeing the next "Pirates of the Caribbean" flick and whatever he does following it.

Zimmers score is disappointing. Even on the CD it's disappointed. I'll explain that at a later time though. Just know that while this had potential to be quite the interesting score..it's not.

Now that I think about it..I really liked "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," and I even want to see it again...Maybe sometime next week, I don't know. It was really fun though and I hope it continues to rake in extreme amounts of money like it does now because hopefully it will teach Holly Execs a lesson. While "Pirates of the Caribbean," was "based" and I use that term LOOSELY..the only thing in common are pirates and the name, the rest of the story was original and creative. The same goes for the sequal. Totally creative and twice as original as half the shit that comes out. What do the Box office figures show? People like original, new and creative things more then shitty remakes (a huge majority of releases this year.) Not to mention that they also like GOOD films..and this is good. I do think that some of it drags, but I do think that I will begin to like it on repeated viewings.

So in conclusion? Despite the fact that half of the reviews are slamming this movie and the other half are praising it as the funnest Summer movie in a long time I have to agree with the second opinion. It's one of the funnest damn movies I've seen since..jesus, I don't know when. While I expect Entertainment Weekly to change their mind once again after slamming the sequel, (EW trashed the first movie, only to change their opinion on it later on,)I say it's good and despite all of the bad reviews, I totally stick by my opinion. Go see it, it's some of the most fun you will have in the theatre and despite some of it's slowness..you'll love it. If you don't? Threaten me through E-Mail...

Jurassic Park Future Plots..

Here are some of the stories that you will be seeing in a theatre near you in the next coming years of "Jurassic Park," sequels as they continue to "beat a dead horse," as the saying goes. These movies will be sure to pull people into the theatres and rake in the money.

1) Everyone realises that they left Samuel L. Jacksons severed hand behind from the first film and form a rescue crew to retrieve it.

2) It's discovered that the Tyrannosaurus Rex urine that the little bastard child was collecting in the third film remarkably cures STDs so a top of the line crew of about 1,000 is formed to go in and collect 100 tons of T-Rex urine only to have it's Urine Center attacked, lose all the urine and stranded on the island with nothing to AID(...) them to get off.

3) This movie will be the highest grossing box office movie of ALL TIME. The dinosaurs evolve and become capable of producing dynamite as well as other forms of explosives. They then commit a terrorist attack on the United States. I suggest enlarging the picture..


What follows is a bloody and gruesome war between the human population and millions of dinosaurs.

Coming soon: A review for "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest." Also I have been itching to watch "Spider-Man 2," with all the hype for 3 so maybe I'll get that in over the weekend as well..

Jungle Boy, Dinosaur Shit and Bird Cages.

"Jurassic Park III (2001)"

Almost 10 years after the original came out we are treated to the third in the series of "Jurassic Park," films and it is pretty much just as shitty as the one that came before it.

William H. Macy plays Paul Kirby and Tea Leoni plays his ex-wife Amanda Kirby. Their son had gone on this trip where you sail behind a boat near the island of Isla Sorna to see Dinosaurs..it all goes wrong and her son and the person he went with are missing. They attempt to enlist the aid of Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neil,) and suceed and also get Billie (one of Grants friends..played by some guy,) only after tricking him though. Watch as they reach the island and attempt to get the hell off of it, while attempting to find their son as well.

The first problem? If you couldn't tell from my description above this story is virtually the same shit as the second one..rescue mission. Rehashed just under different circumstances.

So anyways, they get their. Somehow this little shit has been living on the island for 8 weeks and is perfectly fine. He's also SOMEHOW collect Tyrannosaurus Rex urine. How? I don't know..maybe he sat there completely still (since they can only see you if you move,) guessing where the Rex was gonna piss only to fall multiple times getting slammed in the face with urine until he finally got it just right. I really don't know and they don't explain it in the movie, he just says "You don't wanna know." Only guess what? I do want to know..I DO want to know how you, a 14 year old alone on an island with Dinosaurs is striving and collecting dinosaur urine in your spare time. So please, next time: Enlighten me.

Jungle boy saves Alan Grant by using some gas grenade while wearing camoflauge clothes (leaves..) and bam, brings him back to his living center (a beat up bus.) The movie is..decent until here. There's a lame-ass moment with the mother and a megaphone but I won't ruin the gayness for you. You can witness it firsthand. Oh, and it becomes a running joke throughout the movie..

The second problem. They get rid of the Tyrannosaurus Rex for a Spinosaurus (who the fuck knows if I just spelled that right.) The new dinosaur is way lame. It has this like sail thing on it's back and a long face..the T-Rex was better. Screw this new dinosaur. They've also redone the Velociraptors. They look totally different and it's not a good change. They look..weird. Some of them have this goofy like hair on top of their head.

Unfortunately, that's the best picture I could find. If you look on top of their heads you can see these like..strands. I don't know what the fuck it is, or who thought it looked good but let me tell you..It doesn't. It looks stupid and goofy. Totally disappointing.

Next on my bitch list is..the big Spinosaurus (however it's spelled,) breaks one of the fences that are supposed to keep the Dinos from running around etc. but can't break through this door that's got like 4 big locks on it. What the fuck? Makes no sense. I mean sure the fences electric wasn't on but still..You can knock that shit down but not a fucking door? Give me a break. Oh yeah, also..3 minutes before this scene you hear a phone ringing and everyones like "What the hell, where's the ringing coming from?" and guess from where? Inside the dinosaurs stomach...Yeah, I think I'll just let that terrible idea linger in your head for a second.

Meanwhile you've got Tea Leoni stinking up the movie. I really don't like her. William H. Macy is good but he's a totally lame character in this. "Ouu, remember we went fishing the boat sank, then the guy who was pulling us out? Remember his car sank too and he wanted to punch me..aww. Family." He doesn't do shit. Macy can be good with the right material. I remember in my junior year of High School we watched this film "Focus," and from what I remember he was quite good in it. But anyways, the kid barely stays above water, Sam Neil is good as Grant, go figure. He's the best part. And the guy who plays Billie doesn't have much to work with..his acting is alright. He's not a huge character..he starts off small, turns into a somewhat big character then drops again...

So about halfway through we realise, Billie has stolen raptor eggs!!!! What a jerk..so Grants all pissed off at him and so is pretty much everyone else. They enter this bird cage with flying dinosaurs, this section of the movies O'Kay. The family bullshit gets to involved. Mom crying for child, blah blah. Billie saves the piss stealing kid (he redeems himself only to be owned by flying Dinosaurs seconds later,) and they get on a boat. They hear that damn phone ring again..this time it's in a pile of Dinosaur shit..they search through it. The best part of the movie for me is right here. While searching this red and black cool looking dinosaur with a horn comes up and then backs off after smelling it. No, this isn't funny at all, but the dinosaur is probably the coolest looking one throughout the whole series. Evidently I don't have a device to capture screen shots with in my computer so I can't show it to you..sorry.

Anyways..they fight the Spinosaurus..it isn't very interesting..as this happens Dr. Grant calls Ellie (his love interest from the first film,) and this leads to an incredibly anti-climactic ending with the weirdly textured Velociraptors...a really anti-climactic ending. It sucks..and is a total letdown. But then again so is the whole series after the first film. They went to much for the "Action adventure" and lost what originality the original had.

The score is lame for the most part..I really did not like it. The CGI was alright, some of it didn't look too great. It was as if some of the stuff from the first movie was better..but. What do I know?

Finally, I just wanted to say that believe it or not I was eager to watch this because when this was released in 2001 I actually really liked this movie and thought highly of it compared to "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," but..years later my tastes have matured and upon rewatching it it's just as bad..maybe worse. Until the studio churns out a decent "Jurassic Park," movie I will be sitting here rewatching the original whenever I feel like it and not watching the shitty sequels. I rate "Jurassic Park III," along with the second one..basically equal. They both suck equally bad. I feel bad for the director, Joe Johnston. I read that after seeing the first film he really wanted to do one, Spielberg wanted to do the second so Johnston got the third and it's just a bad story with a very anti-climactic ending..

Coming soon: Soon to be adapted "Jurassic Park," plots..

From Spielberg Produced to Speilberg Directed

"The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)"

The other day I watched Cosmo's suggestion of "Twister," which was produced by Steven Spielberg and tonight I watched "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," which he directed. I'd seen this movie as a kid and it was cool but being grown up and so forth all I have to say is: What a horrible shame.

I LOVE "Jurassic Park," literally. I LOVE it. It's one of my all time favorite movies. It, along with "Terminator 2: Judgement Day," really took CGI to the next step. It not only was good for it's effects but it felt like something you had never seen before. Even after multiple viewings the storyline still feels original and not boring/something re-hashed just under a different name. And that is where the second film first begins to fail.

The plot? Jeff Goldblum is back as Malcom, Malcoms girlfriend, Sarah Harding is played by Julian Moore (who is ugly, don't care what anyone says,) who is also a paleontologist. According to Hammond there is another island with dinosaurs on them. Somehow they are living even though they were bred to need a dosage of Lysine (I may be very wrong with that word..I can't remember correctly,) and Hammond is sending in a team of 4 to document them. One of them is Eddie, who is probably the only person you give a shit about throughout the whole movie, Nick who is played by Vince Vaughn who to me isn't an action movie guy, and Malcoms lady, Sarah. Malcoms pissed and Hammond wants Malcom to be the 4th to go. Malcom only goes after he hears Sarahs there to "rescue" her..So begins our story.

That story..is not something that feels interesting. To me it feels boring and unoriginal. Shit, even the story to "Jurassic Park 3," felt somewhat more original then this. After I finished watching the movie I started pondering whether I should try to write a script for a "Jurassic Park," style movie because I'm sure I can come up with a better beginning story then that, and a better story period (anyone wanna take me up on this and work with me on a script for realsie?) Just wait until I explain what happens about..25 minutes in. It gets worse. But first...

The second mistake in this film? Malcom and his wife somehow (obviously I assume from adoption,) have a black kid...WHY? EVEN AS A CHILD THIS PISSED ME OFF. It's stupid because the viewer has to stop and say "How the fuck do they have a black kid? Previous marriage? I guess adoption." STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. Another thing, why do they have to put this bullshit in a movie. Hooray for adoption of kids whether you're white and they're black, why would you put this black character in a generally caucasian dominated cast? ESPECIALLY since this black character contributes ABSOLUTELY nothing to the story..and I mean NOTHING. Her race plays no part in anything. Maybe I'm racist, I don't know. But this infuriates me.

O'Kay. They're on the island, their annoying black daughter sneaks with them, blah blah. A group of people come in who are attempting to capture dinosaurs to bring back to the U.S. One specifically, a male T-Rex. Which leads up to the end. Everything on the island pretty much sucks. Borefest. They try to lure the T-Rex by stealing it's baby, our group of GOOD guys steal the T-Rex back and bring it back to base after discovering it has a broken leg. The T-Rex assaults this big trailer thing they're in. They knock it off the cliff (un-original..I can recall something like this happening in the first one.) The only thing that saves this is Eddie comes along and juggles this task of tying a rope and throwing it down to them, keeping it tied and at the same time roping the trailer and using the jeep to attempt to pull it back up. Guess what? Eddie dies which is bullshit because he's pretty much the only good character in the whole movie. You see him attempting to do something good and the audience cares for him and they kill him while he's still doing it. Lame shit. At least he could act, somehow Vince Vaughns character Nick survives the whole movie.

Maybe I'm being biased here since I love the raptors, but the short segment with them is the best part. It's fun and exciting to watch. But it's ruined by fucking dumb daughter of Malcom and Sarah. She used to be on gymnastics (go figure, she can swing around and jump around, I know...totally racist. You know it was funny.) ..So she knocks the raptor out of this window using her gymnastic knowledge..GAY. Lame shit. Not enough raptors in the movie as well..most definately not enough.

The dude captures a T-Rex..they bring it back to San Diego to go in the San Diego Zoo..it breaks loose and runs rampant around San Diego killing all kinds of people and the movie basically just gets 10x lamer then it already was. -Shakes head.-

Onto other things..The CGI is good of course. You should expect it to be. Sounds effects annoyance. There's a scene with a Velociraptor and they used dog noises..and like it's so obvious..just so dumb. The score is O'Kay. I don't know, I have John Williams score for "Jurassic Park," and to me a lot of it sounds like the same shit. He didn't take a new direction with it..the theme is still there a lot but..it's nothing interesting. Maybe it sounds better on CD? In the movie..ehhh'. Nothing great although I do want to check out the CD before I completely dismiss it.

The acting..shit. Complete shit. Jeff Goldblums awesome but Vince Vaughn is not an action star. Sorry. Julianne Moore is O'Kay I guess. Eddie is the best one out of all of them and he is played by Richard Schiff. The little black girl can't act for shit (another reason it annoys me..a lot.) The other group on the island is OK. Mediocre acting..they're all cliche' roles. Not hard to do. Pete Postlethwaite is pretty good as Roland though. Otherwise, meh'.

Overall this movie pisses me off..I know it's been around for 9 years but I hadn't watched it since like '98. I knew I'd hate it but not this much. It was a huge step back for the "Jurassic Park," movies. I don't understand how you can make such a good first movie and see "The Lost World," as being better...what the fuck was Spielberg thinking? It's O'Kay though..he's made plenty of awesome movies though to make up for it. If you want to see this..then see it. If you have interest in it watch it with caution knowing chance are you're gonna be pissed off in the end (like no one hasn't seen this yet? Oh well.)

In closing, this took the series in a totally different more cliche' lame direction.

IMDB link for "The Lost World: Jurassic Park."

"Jurassic Park 3," took it in the same direction. I ill explain sometime in the next couple of days....

Ouu, Movie Suggestion!

I was suggested a movie to see by "Cosmo," through E-Mail! As you can see the movie was a somewhat old one, a decade old, and it was pretty good for an cliche action blockbuster...

"Twister (1996)"

So...I never saw this. It always came across as rather..lame/dumb. But I was referred to it, I got it today and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. This movie is FULL of cliche's though. You've got the team of dicks vs. the team of cool guys, ones a doofus, ones a smart chick, ones a fat crazy guy, ones a smart nerdie chick..yeah, you get the point.

The plot is quite simple: Husband and wife finalizing divorce, Guy drives there with his new fiancee to get signed divorce papers. They both used to chase tornados. Husband had an invention..never got built, while he was off his ex-wife built it, 4 of them. It shoots these sensor balls into tornado to get information for a better warning. Eventually the guy ends up deciding to spend the day with them testing his invention for the first time with them.

Yes. That's the plot..you then watch as they try to get the machine working. It's a nice fun entertaining movie. Of course..he ends up dumping his new wife and the movie ends with him kissing his ex. Hoorah, satisfying every womans need for a happy and cliche' ending. The action is good..there's only so much you can do with Tornados..I think it was a bit too long but it was good.

What I don't understand is..are there seriously that many tornados in Oklahoma (I believe that's where the movie takes place)? There were 5 different fucking tornados in one day in the movie..I know nothing about tornados so if this is a stupid question..please excuse my idioticness...Just made no sense to me.

The acting is good. Helent Hunt is good, the guy is good. One of the team members is Philip Seymour Hoffman (Won an oscar this year for "Capote".) All around pretty good acting. Except for one guy who seriously overacts in the end as a piece of metal comes flying towards their car..hilarious.

The score? I didn't hear much of it. In the beginning I think I heard some guitar in it..it kinda' fit. From what I've read guitar doesn't usually fit in scores. I've yet to really hear any with them in it majorly. This was just a very small section with guitar...but otherwise I didn't notice it much. Maybe the wind sound effects overpowered it? When I thought about the score it was usually silent besides the obvious spots such as landscape shots, etc.

Overall it was pretty good. I liked it, I probably won't watch it again within..the next coming months..but it was a nice movie to watch. Entertaining and fun.

IMDB link for "Twister."

Send me more suggestions! Something coming tomorrow night maybe..I don't know yet. It depends on if I find the time to watch something or if any interesting news pops up and so forth.

Movie Suggestions.

I will have something up later tonight..I have no clue what yet but I'm sure I can find something to post about. In the meantime my common sense kicked in. If there are any good movies that you would like to suggest I see then comment them/E-Mail me them at Bagtatta@optonline.net. Even if I've already seen them, no big deal. Chances are, I'll be put in the mood to watch it again. If anyone DOES response don't be afraid to point out obvious movies as well..there are some big ones that I've yet to see. In the meantime I'm going to go and get like 3 or 4 hours of sleep.

Box Office For 6/30/2006

Not much opening this weekend..so if this update turns out to be short, please excuse it..

"Superman Returns:" Well...this is the BIG movie of the weekend. Superman..returns. Plot explained. No other movie going up against it except for one. This actually came out on Wed. but oh well. Anyways...so far, I've heard two complaints about the movie being long (one of them was from a complete dumbass customer who comes into our store so...his opinion = Matters not at all.) It boggles my fucking mind why people complain about a movie being to long, it really does. If it's a good film, then who cares if it's long? Plus you're getting your moneys worth out of the theatre. I would rather see a movie that's 3 hours long and love it then see a movie an hour and 25 minutes long and love it..Makes NO sense to me. Personally I'm not a huge fan of Superman and even I still somewhat want to see this. Hell, seeing the Spider-Man 3 teaser on the big screen is let alone with the admission.. But I won't be, unfortunately. I'm keeping my money to see "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest," next week. "Superman Returns" looks like it's definately worth checking out though...Eventually I will be.

IMDB link for "Superman Returns."


"The Devil Wears Prada": O'Kay..so yeah.This movie is about a being a fashion designers assistant when the designer is a real bitch. This is somewhat based on a true story..but what I love is that Meryl Streep, in the movie, looks nothing like the woman she's portraying. From the pictures that I saw on T.V. the other day..nothing alike. Ann Hathaway plays her assistant. This movie had one of the most boring trailers I've ever seen..it was literally a 2 minutes long scene from the movie where Ann Hathaway goes to be interviewed by Meryl Streep..That's IT. This is most likely a film that girls/homosexual guys will be EXCITED to see.

IMDB link for "The Devil Wears Prada."

"Who Killed The Electric Car?": Limited release...this sounds quite interesting...it's about how the electric car was at a time an amazing invention and the future of automobiles and as the title suggests..they're not and the idea of that is far dead. Tom Hanks is in it..and I love Tom Hanks. I don't know 100% the point this movie tries to put across but I think it's about how big oil companies still have money to make, so the electric car was slammed by them, same for manufactorers because I assume it would cost more to make the electric car..These are assumptions. I may be wrong. In fact..I'm second guessing whether I should type them, but hey. What the hell. Tom Hanks is in it as.....HIMSELF. Ouuu, Tom Hanks playing Tom Hanks, interesting. Anyways, here's the link if you want to look up some more information, I didn't find that much but I am quite interested in this movie and hope to check it out..

IMDB link for "Who Killed The Electric Car?"

I am totally not sure but I think "Strangers With Candy," the movie based off the show out in very limited release this week, or next week. I'm really not sure because on IMDB it says this week but on the opening this weekend page it's not there, it's on next weeks page. I don't know..I'm just gonna put in next weeks. Soooo yeah.

That's it. I'll have something up later tonight I think. If not later tonight then definately Sunday. Enjoy your weekend..
