WILL SMITH

he is amazing

brock left me the job to annalize this movie, and tht i hopefully will do for all the people tht read ths blog (not many)

this movie

some critics could say, is only good because of who acted in it...i say BULLSHIT ON THAT

sure will smith, rosario dawson, woody harrelson, barry pepper and a few unkown but excellent actors made this film what it is...but every movie is like tht...some people were just made to act, and act in this movie...

they all did an amazing job

the plot, starts out complex and mysterious, all the time the audience is trying to fill in the blanks left out deliberately so as not to spoil the dramatic ending to such a magnificent drama and love story.

tim thomas killed 7 people in a car collision, one of those 7 was his wife.

ever since tht crash, he has been donating organs for worthy recipients all over the counrty...he donated a lung for his brother, a portion of his liver for a childcare service worker. and as the movie unravels, he reaches out to a blind salesmen, a kid with a bone marrow disorder, a man in need of a kidney, he helps a woman and her two children from being bashed by a drunk boyfriend, by giving them a new house and new life. he also helps a woman. a woman who's heart is too weak to pump blood, some of the time, to her brain.

one thing tim didnt count on, was falling in love.

these lucky people werent picked randomly off the street tho. he chose them, because they were worthy of such help. as you find out, he gives generously to those in need. and not so generously to those unworthy. he cares about people because he has the power to change their lives forever.

well directed and written.

big thumbs up for me

The Spirit

firstly...you have to take into account tht this movie WAS directed by Frank Miller...the writer and director of sin city...

so those fans out there tht love his shizzle...u will love this too...

and iv got to say....im a fan....fo sho :)

THE SPIRIT is ever bit enticing as sin city, with its mainstream actors including

samuel jackson, scarlett johansson, eva mendes, gabriel macht, jaime king, louis lombardi etc

firstly, the cinematography is amazing to watch, just like sin city it follows the dark and mysterious hero/ villian type look, occasionally grasping the affective red (the spirit's tie) and also blue. With an old 1950's time plot within a parallel universe known as central city (aka new york) this film is bound to opperate in the audiences impression of america in the great depression.

our hero, an ex-cop, lives underground with his beloved stray cats, he wears a mask to cover the face tht died years before, and his black hat, black suit, red tie and white shoes make him a distinct and likeable character. along with his hilarious anticts with a villian named octopus (samuel jackson) the spirit (gabriel macht) attracts every woman he meets, and him to them.

"You're in love with every women you meet, Mr.Spirit. You say lovely things to all of us, and you mean every word you say"

after being shot and killed on the job, a doctor (and expremintal scientist with a god complex and overall wish to be immortal) the octopus injects the spirit with a potion (as a trial for himself) that makes him practically immortal, or the closest thing to it.

a few murders into the movie, sand saref (eva mendes) a gorgeous woman and teen sweet heart of the spirit entwines herself deeply in the plot, by stealing a chest containing the contents of which the octopus would do anythign to get his hands on.

the story ends with a massive shoot up between the spirit, the octopus and known associates (silken floss aka scarlett johansson), sand saref and the cops and basicallly you will have to watch it to know what happens, and what the treasure cheast(s) (yes, thts right, its a plural) contain...


:) enjoy

17 Again

Zac Efron... My man crush.
The man that every adolescant girl (and some boys) go crazy about is the only thing that saves this 'should've been straight to dvd' movie.
Zac Efron stars in what could be described as asymmetrical to what Jennifer Garner did in 'Suddenly 30'.
He doesnt sing, but his charisma and charm save this film and were worth the $9.50 i spent last cheap tuesday.
Realising that he has lived his life moping about missed opportunities and his flailing relationship with his children, he stumbles across the stereotypical 'wise old janitor' who has some sort of secret power that turns him, as you would have guessed, into a 17 year old again.
What follows is nothing new: some bully upstaging, some incestuall love, and of course, when he gets to the cross road in his senior year again, he realises that he made the right decision all along, and he should be embracing it.
The thing that irks me the most is that Zac's character doesnt even try to fit in, giving a highly unlikely, unmotivating, and unentertaining rant on the kids of todays generation having premarital sex.
There are a few good tidbits here and there though. A small penis joke, as well as the 'stand in fake dad's' obsession with sci-fi and all the memorabillia he possesses in his house were enough for a silent giggle/smirk.

All up though, Zac Efron and his undeniable talent save this from being tossed in post production, as it provides little else besides some gay eye candy as you relish the pre-pubescnt girl inside of you.

Watchmen

I don't have much time so just a few thoughts about watchmen...

• it was a bit dissapointing
• nice special effects, good fight scenes(snapping the guys elbow the opposite way)
• lots of sex scenes were good.
• a complex time jumping plot made it a little confusing.
• some really awesome characters(Rorscach(?), the comedian)
• some average charcaters(nite owl, silk spectre)

i think tom did a review that i pretty much totally agree with. i think this movie was enjoyable, but a weird, overly long ending, and the feeling that it didnt quite reach its potential, or its hype, left me leaving feeling a little disappointed.

rorscach's character saved it from being a 3.5/5...

4/5

WATCHMEN

Visually, this movie is fucking magnificent.

capable of showing up star wars 3 graphics and the like...

however. thos movie is still a comic book movie. and thus had to live up to people expectations of the novels.

now i havnt read the novels.
but
i want completely satisfied when i walked out of this movie at the end!
it could of been so much better.
but they just didnt make it so.

the plot was very twisted, winding in and out of present time and past time.
this movie did a few things for me.

1.It surprised me in that it was different to what i was expecting.
2.They didnt push the envelope (meaning they could of made it better)
3.The surprise ending was obviously what the movie ended, but this time, i just didnt pick it. obviously there has to be the good guys and bad guys, but yeah, its obvious once you see it, but at the time no-one is thinking about it, because the movie is filmed in such a way that you dont get to think about things before it moves on, which keeps the movie engaging.

as i said the graphics are fenominal. the plot, elegant, a little to complex at times, for a comic book that is. and the acting is all good stuff.

esspecially the detective type watchman...his name is walter but he likes to be called rorschach and he is amazing in this movie anyway.

definitely my favourite character. i would definitely watch this movie again just to see him act in it and such. he was awesome.

other characters.

the night owl - honorable, and in love with silk spectre 2, strong, technically equipt.
silk spectre 2- beautiful, smart, cunning and loves the old root with john (dr.manhattan). but finds a new lover during the movies critical stages.
osymandias- the smartest man in the world, with the help of dr.manhattan, helps create a renewable energy source of some kind. fast. strong. is the leader figure for the watchmen. can avoid bullets, cause he is amazingly quick.
the comedian- a veteran of the first superhero team called the minutemen. was with dr.manhattan during the vietnam war and other such american conflicts. was a government assasin. always a walking timebomb, cut throat, courages, stupid, saw men as the morst possible things created on the earth.
dr. manhattan- the only actual person with super powers, was killed at a government facility during a scientific experiment. but was able to recreate himself as a new being, with super human powers, he was able to bend and manipulate all matter on the earth however he saw fit.
pretty cool, he could teleport from place to place, eg earth to mars!

this film was slow at the start and took nearly an hour to get into the crux of the plot, but once you were there, u didnt want to leave.

very likeable, but also very easy to dislike. some bits were a lil dry, but of course there are always bits liek tht, soppy bits etc

however, if anyone remembers this director from 300, you wont be dissapointed to find a few more sex scenes in this film aswell.

Watchmen rated: 3.5/5

"iv already told you, im not stuck in here with you! your stuck in here with me!"

notorious b.i.g.

i was very impressed at the movies quality and it raised the bar for movies about actual people some what!

i would definitely recommend anyone to go see this movie

biggie smalls was just another nigga from brooklyn.

having all the big rappign names like tupac, snoop dogg and dre in the west. there was need to fill the position of representing rapper in the east! the man tht everyone loves and who all the young crew love, and listen to on the radio etc

biggie was raised by his mum in a tough neighbourhood, which meant tht if you werent part of the in crowd, you were dead, or close to it.

he got into dealing drugs at about the age of 11 or 12, and quickly progressed as a dealer till the age of 17 or a8 when he was busted for a big load of drugs and cash and firearms, he went to jail for nearly a year i believe. it didnt really say. but it was about tht maybe 2 years...

he always loved rapping about life as a younger kid, so it was only natural tht he turned to rapping when he was sent to jail, having nothing better to occupy his mind...

he got out and immediately reformed old aquiantances. then started rapping for serious, local gigs etc, but things werent going his way. life was tough. he got a chick pregnant, and then started rooting some other bitch on th side. which became complicated later on in his career.

he wasnt making much money from the rapping, even tho he was damn good, he had all the street cred, but no record deal. he then turned back to drugs and him and a mate got busted for carrying a firearm, his friend took the fall tho, cause he told biggie "yo dawg, once you make it in the rap industry we all made it, so ima take this for ya, ill be out in three years, whereas if u take it, your looking at 5, i got you man, just do your thing". it went something like tht anyway.

so his friend took the time for biggie to realise his dream, he put out his first album a couple of months later, life was going according to plan. parties. girls. and a girl named faye!

he married faye and they had a little kid together. therefore biggie broke up with his first bitch, and the second bitch was all up in his face about it, cause she was also working on her singing career, which biggie got her.

gigs everyweek, money rolling in. everything was looking good, until tupac got held up in the studio and robbed and shot, he didnt know who to trust and therefore a fight between east and west broke out.

obvioulsy biggie didnt set him up, but tupac didnt believe it and thhey turned from friends to enemies in a night.
after soul searchign and letting the heat around him and tupac cool down, biggie created a second album and was touring the country prommoting it. this took them into tupacs territorys.

but a week before they made their prommotion tour tupac was shot and killed.
therfore biggie entering his turf to promote his new album infuriated all the west coast nigga's against him. and while out on the town, driving from a club to the hotel they were staying at, some-one did a drive by and shot the notorious b.i.g.

he died at 24 years of age.

there are alot of kool scenes up in this movie, and young 50 cent is featured a lot throughout th film. which gives the audience an idea of when his life began and who his mentors were.

Gran Torino

Clint Eastwood produces, directs, stars and even sings the theme song in this fantastic movie about the clashes between cultures, and learning to accept them.

He plays Walt, a Vietnam veteran who is increasingly frustrated that his neighbourhood has been taken over by people of all different countires, leaving him to be one of the only caucasions left.
But when his neighbours nearly get kidnapped by a local asian gang, Walt intervenes, pulling out a massive gun saying what will be a future catchphrase of movie history "get off my lawn".
The gang backs off but threats are thrown back and forth such as a gang member saying "go back inside old man" and Walt replying with something along the lines of "yeah i'll blow your fucking head off then i'll go back inside and sleep just fine".

The gang drive off and the family are extremely thankful, to which Walt dissmisses.
He wakes up the next day and is disappointed to find that he has become a local hero and the asian community keep leaving gifts on his doorstep.
But after a while he strikes up a friendship with Soo, a young girl from next door, and she persuades him to teach her younger brother Thao a few life lessons.
Walt teaches Thao how to pick up girls, be a handyman around the house, talk like a man, and get a job, whilst Walt himself starts to enjoy the asian food, and thier culture.

It is a great tale of acceptance, and learning to have respect, and not to be fearful of things that are different. All this leads up to the final confrontation with the gang, and a twist ending that was quite brutal, but clever.

Even though it is a drama, it is still one of the funniet movies i have ever seen, as Walt comes up with every single derogatory nickname for an asian that you have ever heard. He calls it like it is.

The only problem i can think of is that Clint Eastwood has hinted that this may be his last acting movie. I have never been a huge fan until now, but like Shannon Harvey of the STM, i agree that even though Clint is 78, he is well and truly at the top of his game.

5/5
