EAGLE EYE

OK my first comment about the new release movie "Eagle Eye" is:

if you absolutely love action films (excuse my french) you will fucking love "Eagle Eye" starring Shia Lebouf and Michelle Monaghan (who is by far one of the hottest milfs in movies today. So if your a guy and are deciding to go 2 the movies then go see this!)

The movie has a similar story line to the I-Robot (Artificial.Intelligence.) idea starring Will Smith but offers a wilder trip through the movie then the 2004 blockbuster. The US government recently built a super computer to track terrorist actions throughout the world. However the computer, with extensive knowledge and data at hand decides that the only way to protect the future of the United States and the world from tyranny, is to kill the President of the United States and many of his closest advisers to bring the countries affairs back into order.

"Eagle Eye" set in today's time instead of the "I-Robot's" futuristic civilisation creates a wide sense that every movement you make, every thing you do within range of electric gadgetry is track able, and therefore CONTROLLABLE...

i highly rate this movie and am expecting everyone else to say the same.

"Eagle Eye" rated -5/5

Zach and Miri make a porno

Well people, if ya havnt heard yet, Seth Rogen has been a busy man this last year, "Zach and Miri make a porno" is Seth's seventh film in the last 12 months. Featuring 'Superbad's" super cop and "Knocked up's" funny stoner guy Rogen is back at it with a friend of his Elizabeth Banks who as you may know also starred in 4o year old virgin with Rogen, she also played a lead role in "Scrubs" as Kim. Up until now comedy's usually satisfied there audiences with a lot of humour and light sex scenes but now Rogen and Banks take it to another level with their movie "Zach and Miri make a porno". With their lives going down the drain, along with their money to pay the rent Zach and Miri are desperate to make bank, therefor they turn to alternate ways of creating some profit. Zach always loved porno spoofs of other movies, and before you know it they are making a porno spoof of Star Wars.

Set to be as funny as all of Rogens past films im looking forward to "Zach and miri make a porno" which should be showing in cinema's late october to early november.

sin city sequel!

Thats right everyone, there is to be a sin city sequel, with a return featurette starring Jessica Alba, and is to be released next year some time.

Robert Rodriguez's original "Sin City" wasnt enough for me, and obviously not for all the other fans out there, so he is out to bring back more of the hot girls and explosive action that he is known for in recent films including "Planet Terror". With im sure another guest director appearance from his best mate Quentin Tarrantino "Sin City 2" (or whatever it will be called") will also be something to look forward to in 2009.

So i guess we will just to watch the trailer over and over before we get any idea about how long and spectacular this movie will actually be!

Heath Ledger and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Heath Ledger said while on the set of "The Dark Knight" that playing the character The Joker was the most enjoyable experience in his career so far and in an enormous offering of love and respect Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrel offered their salary from "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" in which all procedes would go to Heaths daughter Matilda Rose Ledger.

Full synopsis of "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus"

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day. It tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. Long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr Nick, in which he won immortality. Many centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his first-born reached its 16Th birthday he or she would become the property of Mr Nick. Valentina is now rapidly approaching this 'coming of age' milestone and Dr Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr Nick arrives to collect but, always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager. Now the winner of Valentina will be determined by whoever seduces the first five souls. Enlisting a series of wild, comical and compelling characters in his journey, Dr Parnassus promises his daughter's hand in marriage to the man that helps him win. In this captivating, explosive and wonderfully imaginative race against time, Dr Parnassus must fight to save his daughter in a never-ending landscape of surreal obstacles - and undo the mistakes of his past once and for all.

Heath Ledger's final film was only half way when he was found dead from an accidental drug overdose. Jude Law, Colin Farrel and Johnny Depp stepped in to finish off the rest of Heaths work and with digital technology director Terry Gilliam is "delighted that Heath's brilliant performance can be shared with the world."

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is back on schedule and is due to release late 2009 or early 2010. Heath Ledger died at 28.

up and coming movies!

ok so there are a few good movies about to be released in cinema's
including:

• James Bond: Quantum of Solace (nov 7) feat. Sam Craig
  
• Eagle Eye (sep 26) feat. Shia Lebouf
  
• The House Bunny feat. Anna Faris
• Traitor feat. Don Cheadle
  
• Death race feat. Jason Statham
• Body of lies (oct 10) feat. Leonardo Dicaprio & Russel Crowe
• saw v (oct 24)
• pineapple express (oct 16) feat. Seth rogen & James Franco

probably the movie im looking forward to the most out of all of these is:
PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, i saw the trailor to this bad boy when i watched WALL-E yesterday and the makers of "40 year old virgin", "superbad" and "knocked up" are at it again, producing with hilarious acting, spills, thrills and kills what is to be another breath gasping experience. As pothead Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) and Saul Silver (James Franco) get into shit deeper than they can handle, scenes flash buy with action, comedy and one liners to match "SuperBad". All the while, explosions, amazing stunts and car chases through busy freeways keep the audiences attention front and centre. All up i believe this movie will create a sense of where James Franco's acting career is heading, other than being re-born as the Green Goblin's son in Spiderman 4 and what is still to come in a long list of comedies produced by the one and only Seth Rogen.

All of these movies will im sure keep us coming back again and again to the cinema's and will make our wait for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" AND "Watchmen" so much the easier.

F,F & F

Welcome friends and foe's to the newly instated, the one and only, movie blog "Flicks,Facts and Fuck off". Where Dragon (the infamous Brock Monck) and myself (Night Hawk aka Thomas Mcmulkin) will happily update you on newly released and up coming films, movies, TV shows and other INTERESTING stuff to make your blog visit as enjoyable as possible. To kick start our new blog dragon and i would like to inform you about two recent cinema releases that are sure to have you buzzing!
Today Calum, Dragon and myself took full advantage of our lower limbs and wallets to make our way to the prestigious and rather large and cosy HOYTS cinema in Riccarton Mall, Christchurch. We indulged our sweet tooth and eager movie-going personalities while we kicked back and watched one of two movies for the day.

warning: i like talking about movies so if ya dont wanna know what happens, read on ^_^

FIRST!
The highly rated "Step Brothers" starring Will Ferrel and John.C Reilly proved all its worth by producing one of the funniest cinematic experiences since the ostentatious "Anchorman". The quirky storyline and funny duo pulled off some amazing scenes were nearly always the audience are left staggering for breath. I'm starting to sound like a real movie critic, but seriously, aside from having a longer than expected running time and short veer in the storyline, it all comes together nicely to be enormously amusing and i recommend it to anyone that liked "Anchorman"and "Talladega Nights" to see it immediately!
I'm not going to give anything away but whatever you saw in the trailers was definitely just the tip of the ice burg as Ferrel and Reilly ride life on the wild side and of course their newly wedded mum and dad's shoulders.

"Step Brothers" rated 4.5/5

SECOND!
A new PIXAR revolution was released this month, in the form of a rubbish disposal robot named "WALL-E". You are going to love every single minute you watch this movie, as a matter of fact the short featurette will have you on the edge of your seats and is just a sneak peak at how corny and inventive the PIXAR team have become. Alone on planet earth our robotis friend gets up to mischief among the reminents of civilisation where he saves seamingly useless junk and builds enourmous skyscrapers out of compacted heaps of trash!
Just when he thinks his days couldnt get anymore lonelier a spaceship arrives from beyond earths thick layer of satelites and brings to WALL-E a highly advanced green thumb of a robot "Eve".
His lust for friendship and purpose in life WALL-E is driven away from planet earth to persue the only friend he ever had (apart from a cockroach) where he explores the deep masses of space and leads earths survivors back home.

"WALL-E" rated 5/5

I hope you enjoyed my view on these two movies and im sure dragons own personal views are just as interesting.

"hey, im Brennan"

"my names Dale, but you can call me Dragon!"

"well you can call me, Night Hawk!"

WALL E

WALL E was a movie that i did go into with high expectations.
i read a lot about it as it seemed a lot different to all the other great pixar movies over the years.
but even though it was pretty unusual, i thought that it was one of the best movies i have seen all year.
WALL E is a robot that was sent to earth, along with thousands more of its kind to clean up, so it can make earth habitable again. but after beng the last robot left of its kind, it has developed more of a human nature, and now, whilst cleaning, collects objects that take his interest. you feel bad for WALL E as it becomes clear that he is lonely, and his only friend is a cockroach. but eventually another spaceship lands, and a more sophisticated robot is deployed, scanning the surrounding area for any sign of earth being sustainable again.
WALL E immediately falls in love with this new and probably girl robot(though WALL E's sex is undefined). soon though, the new robot called Eve finds a plant and immediately sends a beacon back to the mothership, where it is shown that all of mankind lives on, in space.
WALL E is desperate to remain with eve so sneaks aboard the shuttle that is taking eve to the mothership.
human life on the mothership is a scary future. with everyone being served by robots, no one can walk cos they are all so fat and just zoom around on thier little hover things all the time.
the captain of the ship soon finds a conspiracy to keep the ship off earth, but after a courageous battle, he soon steers the ship back to earth.
although all the robot action is cool, it was nice to have a bit of dialogue between humans, as WALL E saying "eve" was cute at first, but got annoying very quickly.
it is unusual to see a love story between robots but it was still very moving.
the future of man kind on the other hand is a very scary picture. this was pixar's most outgoing film yet, and they have portrayed a powerful message. it is good to see that they made a film about this issue, so the kids growing up today might be able to get a better picture on stuff like global warming.
overall i would say that WALL E is one of the best movies i have seen all year.
it covers issues that really need to be covered, and is outgoing, and delivers a powerful message.

4.5/5

Step Brothers

Everyone knows that all the funny bits of movies are always shown in the trailers. but the good thing about Step Brothers was that there was so much funny shit in there that the movie completely took me by surprise.
After hearing that Tropic thunder was the bomb (which i thought was subsequently a bit overrated) i went into SB with no expectations. me and night hawk were talking about it before hand and both agreed that ignoring any hype would be the best way to go about it.

will ferrell plays the part of brennan, a part that he was pretty much made for. if i had heard the plot for this movie, i would have cast will ferrell in a heartbeat. and john c reilly was equally as hilarious as dale. having not seen Dewey cox story with john c reilly in it, i didnt know what his comic talents were but he is in the same mould as ferrell.
after both having recent movies that were supposedly not up to thier usual genius (semi pro and dewey cox) it was good to see two kings of comedy return to thier thrown.
there were countless lines that, living with tom and cal, i know im gunna be hearing a lot of in the next few weeks. me and thomas even got inspiration for our code names on this blog off SB when at the start they are introduced:
"hey... im brennan..."
"hey... im dale... you can call me Dragon..."
"well you can call me night hawk..."
There was also some area where other comedies have not gone before, like when they both go to the local primary school and beat up a bunch of 12 year old kids.
at stages it got a bit crude like when you get to see extensive coverage of brennan(ferrell) rubbing his ballsack on dales drumkit, but this was still funny.

But in the end, the seesaw-ing relationship between dale and brennan, the ridiculously good looking mother of a 40 year old, and the insane younger brother with his cheating erotica wife, all make for a good viewing.

4/5

Brocky AKA Dragon

Hello and welcome to "Flicks, Facts and Fuck off".
for those who all know night hawk(thomas), they can tell that the title was his idea as something random like that is right up his alley.
me and night hawk both love movies and whilst over in new zealand we have seen a fair share of them. so i suggested the idea of a movie blog to him and he was keen, so we set one up straight away.
we have decided to blog about all the movies we see, and rate them accordingly. we will also just post random shit about movies and films, pretty much anything that we feel like doing.
if anyone wants to be a guest editor, let me know as it will make the blog better with lots of different opinions. and if you do join, you can just write the occasional review if you like.
we will also be putting on random shit like polls and trivia and stuff like that, so it should be good.
please leave as many comments as you like, if you think we've made a mistake, or wanna share your own opinion.
Thats all for now,
peace
Brocky AKA Dragon
