harry potter and the half-blood prince

i watched this movie at 11am yesterday
and it was good. probably better then th last 5 movies for a few reasons:

1-the actors (esppecially harry) are better at acting! like way better.
2-it had dark elements to it which i liked (cave scene)
3-ron is funny as
4-malfoy is included into this film a lot more, for the good of the movie

some downers tho...being a book lover is all th scenes they had to cut out of the movie...including half of the dumbledore and harry adventures into the pensieve :( oh well...at first i also thought slughorn was a bit of a retard...his acting wasnt so good...but he got a bit better as th movie went on...still a wierdo. but better. dumbledores hand didnt look as cool as i thought it would...they CGI'D the crap out of it instead of making it all skeletal looking like its supposed to. oh well again.
ginny is finaly a bit of a babe! and hermione and ron's relationship is building for the next two films where they kiss in hogwarts! oooooh! i think half the harry potter fans will be waiting out for tht scene and be like! "YAY! THEY FINALLY KISSED/SNOGGED!" haha should be good

some of the graphics were awesome. as to be expected...

they also added in scenes tht werent even in the book. eg bellatrix and fenrir dont even go to the weasleys residence in the book. but apparently they do in the movie! idk...

one other dissapointment was tht there was no order of the pheonix fight in the castle after snape kills dumbledore...:( sad for you!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince rated: 3/5

"these girls, there gonna kill me harry!"

TRANSFORMERS the revenge of the fallen

THIS WAS A SERIOUSLY GOOD MOVIE

transformers went up in my books from infinity to infinity times infinity
SO A LOT!

first of all let me tell u that this movie ran for over 2 and 3o Min's. so its a good running time with not many of those quirky love scenes like in number one. which i think is good...

basically id say that 2 hours of the movie is action. just pure transformer action baby!

if anyone still hasn't watched this...id suggest you do it right now...



revenge of the fallen...aka..."revenge of the original brother of the honourable primes"
the fallen being a prime added a whole other perspective to the movie...along with the history of the earth and how long the decepticons had actually been here...its pretty fucking cool...

OPTIMUS PRIME kicks some fucking asshole in this movie aye...unlike the first when he doesn't really do much...bumblebee is also a fucking mad dog! i mean he has some sick moves...

the introduction of the new autobots and decepticons is also a grand slam in my book.

AUTOBOTS
optimus prime
bumblebee
ironhide
ratchet
mudflap and skids (the twins)
Frisbee
jolt
jetfire
sideswipe


DECEPTICONS
the fallen (megatron's master)
megatron
starscream
soundwave
sideways
wheelie
ravage
the doctor
demolisher
scorponok
devastator = scavenger + scrapper + hightower + longhaul + rampage + overload + mixmaster





trust me some hectic shit goes down on planet earth

I'm not going to give away the whole story cause that would be gay...

the twins are way funny...so listen carefully to what they say...sometimes the action gets in the way of their funny comments...

agent Simmons comes back aswell...and he is funnier then ever!

everything about this movie is awesome

i have no idea how they will follow it up with a third...all i know is that i cant wait!



TRANSFORMERS revenge of the fallen rated: 5/5

"the hangover"

NOW LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS MOVIE

IT WAS INCREDIBLY FUNNY. LIKE IT WAS FUNNY EVEN THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED IT...AND SOMETIMES THAT'S HARD TO COME BY. IT WAS WELL FILMED. NOT TO MENTION FUCKING HILARIOUS...EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO THESE GUYS JUST SEEMED TO BURY THEM DEEPER IN SHIT.....CLASSIC!

HERE'S THE LOAD-DOWN

DOUG- GROOM (ABOUT TO GET MARRIED IN TWO DAYS TIME)
ALAN- DOUG'S BROTHER IN-LAW (ONE FUNNY FUCK)
PHIL - TEACHER (BEST FRIEND OF DOUG)
STU - DENTIST (BEST FRIEND OF DOUG)

so Doug has to get married in two days and these boys decide to go for a Vegas trip...which basically turns into a nightmare...first off after the whole night of events:

• they cant find Doug! ha ha big whoops!

• their is also a tiger in their bathroom (which they stole from mike Tyson's house when he was sleeping)

• they stole a police car

• they took a bunch of roofies (accidentally which give you memory loss and shit. so they couldn't remember what happened that whole night)

• they stole $80,000 worth of chips from a tiny dicked Asian who they lock in the trunk of their car (not the cop car)

• Stu gets married to a stripper who is actually a major fucking babe! who also happens to have a baby which is brought along for half the movie through all these crazy scenes :)

• Stu pulls out one of his teeth for a dare

• Alan, Phil and Stu have to get $80,000 for this ching chong who has Doug because they couldn't find the 80k that they stole from him in the first place. so Alan gets his genius on and starts counting cards and wins $82,000. which they give to this ching who gives them a different Doug. the Doug who gave Alan the drugs (roofies) because Alan slipped them in some jaeger shots when they were toasting for an incredible night on the roof of their casino.

• so they couldn't find Doug the whole day, they got arrested, shot at by these crazy Chinese dudes, crashed into, all the while they have massive hangovers that would definitely slay Bella three times over!!! :P

• they get tazered by police officers for stealing their cop car

• they end up finding Doug completely sun burnt on the roof of their casino with $80,000 of chips in his pocket.

they drive home in their beat up car just in time for the wedding where Stu breaks up with his terrible girlfriend in front of the whole wedding. Doug gets married to his gorgeous bride and they find a camera from the whole night of events and decide to look at the photo's

salvation

terminator salvation sparked a plug in my movie expectations. expectations long in dormant from the last 3 terminator movies.

this movie crippled all other. souly because of the fact that Arnold swartzy wasn't in it! my god its good to get a new face to the lead role of protecting john Connor. however in this, john (christian bale) protects himself more often then not. he is the true warrior.

apparently this film was one of the most expensive films to make. as in top ten in the history of movies! that is a big thing to accomplish. but!!! when u see all the action, destruction and robot interaction in this film you will not be surprised where all that money went! and what do i say to the producers of such a film. MONEY WELL SPENT!

this movie pulled away from the general, terminators are coming to kill john Connor! omg we better run. then run some more. and then kill the big bad terminator in the end...please! that worked for the first three. but i thank the lord that they didn't try it in this one!
so thats a big plus in my books!

besides the young john Connor (Edward furlong) the john Connor in salvation played by the infamous batman of today. christian bale was certainly the better casted actor for the flick, compared with the terminator 3 dude. who isn't good unless he is portraying a yellow freak in sin city!

the plot follows john on a quest to destroy skynet and secure his present life, future life and past life. One person on the top of his list, is his 20ish year old father, who is destined to be sent back in time for him to protect Sara Connor and have some awesome sex with her to make a baby! thats right u guessed it gang! LO AND BEHOLD john is born. but that is another movie. in salvation john is looking for him before he gets killed.

i wont go on about every other character but Marcus (Sam Worthington) is a humanoid thing sentenced to death for murder before skynet takes over. he forwards his body to science, and entwines his future in skynet.
he is a bad guy programmed to be a good guy and to believe he is a good guy to gain access into the resistances stronghold. he chooses to be good and rips out his bad robot chip in his brain.

what a swell lad

anyway

star trek

watched this incredibly good movie last night with twin mulks and a couple of his uni buds...highly anticipated in the nerd world, star trek, in my view didnt dissapoint...

well filmed, great special effects and action scenes.
characters were quirky but not lame and the story line was very well done to create a very nervous and suspensful climax!

basically, th movie starts out with a star cruiser chartering some unknown galaxy when it is attacked by a massive green, techincally advanced ship. captained by a green alien (of course) who is none other then eric bana...he portrays th revengfilled villian well and doesnt take any crap from anyone, otherwise they get a massive sword axe staffy pole thing through th chest!

trust me! he's bad ass!

anyway this federation crusier pretty much gets raped in the asshole and th captain is forced to board thier ship for negotiations (wherein, he gets shafted by the insanely cool sword axe staffy pole thing through the chest!

he leaves his first leutenant to captain the ship ans evacuate all of its passengers...including his extremely pregnant wife, by coincidence gives bith at the time the ship is being smashed into tiny pieces. she escapes with her newly born son while the husband (the captain, for like 16 minutes) stays aboard cause he is totally cool and takes one for the team...he basically flies tht ship right into the vagina of eric bana's ship...vagina is a loose term for the description of this ship...i mean if u classify a ship with about a zillion spikes coming out in one direction as its vagina then yeah!
he drove his ship (the penis) right into it and hurt it so much so tht it couldnt destroy the escaping shuttles filled with like 800 people....

so star trek intro rapped in one big dookie

space...
more space...
more and more space...
star ship...
alien ship...
alien ship shooting good guys ship...
small shuttle with captain within leaving good guys ship...
captain dies aboard alien ship...
good guys ship evacuates passengers...
remaining good guy steers good guy ship into alien ship...
explosion...
"STAR TREK"...
flash foward in time to lil ratbag of good guy who steered good guy ship into alien ship

no matter how i said th intro their...it is an amazing start to a movie! and it only gets better from there...

trust me

fucking awesome movie...just writing this blog about it makes me want to go to th cinema's to watch it again :)

star trek rated: 4/5

"live long, and prosper"

WOLVERINE

as soon as i heard this was coming out....i was like....FUCK YEAH NIGGA

and my attitude didnt change after i watched it last weekend...it was still awesome and still FUCK YEAH NIGGA...

the story was actually a lot more interesting then what i thought it would be, and it is never ever ever boring (which scores big points in my book)

actions scenes and graphics are top notch...including the characters...and scenery...

one of the more predictable things about this movie was tht there was always gonna be a big bad boss at the end of the film tht hugh jackman had to cut through...knowign tht it was still great to watch :)

im not sure if dragon has seen this movie yet or not...but he better...and soon...

seven pounds

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

The Spirit rated: 4/5

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.

2.5/5
