fish7718 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Have you seen the preview for Clash of the Titans? If so, what did you think of it? Yeah I've seen it a couple of times, popular trailer at the movies. I might check it out over Easter break depending on what else is in the theaters at the time. The movie looks pretty insane and I like movies like that, I'll definitely see it though if not in April then in June in the $2 theater Watch Enter the Dragon Best kung fu movie ever.What makes you think I haven't? ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Brooklyn's Finest http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/images_7/brooklyns_finest.jpg This movie is a crime drama about 3 cops in Brooklyn, 1 is an undercover cop (Don Cheadle) trying his best to keep from going under, and trying his best to get out of the position he is in. The second is a veteran cop (Richard Gere) who is one week away from retirement and wakes up every morning and puts a gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger. The third (Ethan Hawke) is kind of like swat force I guess he breaks into the houses and takes down the drug operations with a team of guys. He is trying to get his family of like 18 kids and wife into a new house. Movie is directed by the same guy who directed Training Day so those who watched that movie can expect much of the same, obviously he got Ethan Hawke again who has a better performance in this move than he did training day. If you think the trailer looks interesting you should enjoy it. Fan side of me wants to go 4.0 because I love Don Cheadle but realistic side of me has to go. - 3.5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 January Releases The Lovely Bones http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9e/Lovely_bones_ver2.jpg I got to admit what originally roped me into this movie was Marky Mark . For some reason I'm a big fan of his even tho I used to hate him. Anyways saw the Previews, saw Marky Mark so I checked it out. Peter Jackson does an incredible job directing this, awesome visuals and scene cutting and editing and w/e but the movie flows and the movie does an excellent job with transitions and yeah Idk how to explain it you just have to see it to realize it. The movie is about a girl who is murdered by her neighbor and when she dies instead of going to heaven she tries to remain in the pathway between heaven and earth. The movie gets very confusing onto how she communicates and frankly the idea of her helping her father solve her murder is completely false, in a way. Anyway I'm not going to give anymore a way, it's a confusing movie but the directing is fantastic and the storyline is very new and interesting. So confusing but great overall. - 4.0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikUWKi0W5_g The Book of Eli http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e3/Book_of_eli_poster.jpg Obviously the main attraction to this movie is Mr. Washington, who if anyone read my Pelham review, I'm a sucker too. Denzel does another top notch job in this one. This movie is a sci-fi movie about 30-40 years into the future. The Earth had gone through another hole in the world and been destroyed so much that the atmosphere could no longer protect the Earth from the sun and the sun was destroying the Earth. You had to wear glasses when you left the house or else you would go blind. Anyway interesting movie regarding religion and it's importance. Would have been a 3.5 if not for the cool twist at the end . Oh ya and Mila 'badass' Kunis . - 4.0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKfZrbS79To (sorry for those with bad speakers) Edge of Darkness http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4c/Edge_of_Darkness_the_Movie_poster.jpg Can you say weak? This movie makes me annoyed that Mel Gibson and Maverick used to be my favorite movie, still may be. Ugh, maybe some will like this but I had the movie figured out in the first 5 minutes. The fact that they could kill everyone around this guy and not him was just retarded. Big fail, not a super fail because you can still enjoy it but I do not suggest watching this movie. Plus Boston sucks! - 2.5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxK__2MGm7A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) February Releases From Paris With Love http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/61/FromParisWithLovePoster.jpg Didn't want to see this one, originally, me and my friends were deciding which movie to see, I wanted Shutter but someone thought that was a scary movie. So if someone would have just saw Shutter I could have avoided wasting ten dollars of my money that night. The movie was not bad but it was not good. Travolta goes way too far over the top with his character to the point that it somewhat annoyed me. Not to mention the fact the storyline is somewhat boring. Avoided a 3.0 with a good ending, I wouldn't suggest it tho. - 3.5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sLG0owba0E Shutter Island http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/76/Shutterislandposter.jpg I'd be lying if I didn't say this one disappointed me. Honestly I knew the end right from the beginning, no lie. 5 minutes in I called the ending to the movie. If not for the people telling me how predictable it was I may have had second guessed myself, so I'm sorry if this ruins it. Basically this stars my boy Leo as a US Marshall who is sent into to investigate a mysterious disappearance on an island. What ensues is craziness. This movie overall was excellent, aside from being slightly predictable to the keen ones. Ignorance is bliss for this one folks.- 4.5 The Crazies http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8a/Crazies_ver2.jpg Another disappointment. Timothy Olyphant is probably my favorite actor, him or Matt Damon. I was really excited to see this when I saw him in it. Movie is about a town that is infected with a disease that makes you go insane. Olyphant is a the sheriff who discovers what exactly is going on and tries to get his wife out of there. Movie was okay, cool concept ruined by [expletive]ty ideas. The ending was like wow are you kidding? The very end should make you smile if you understand whats happening. Decent...better than Paris. BTW, love the Mad World in the trailer . - 3.5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEMZwQulT1Q Cop Out http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/07/Copoutposter.jpg Bleh...originally I thought this was going to be a lot like 'Showtime' with DeNiro and Murphy but it wasn't. The movie is about 2 cops that ruin a case and are taken off of it, stop me if you've heard this one before. Then end up getting mixed up with the case anyway and yeah you can fill in the blanks. All I can say is bleh really. I mean what more can you expect from a Tracy Morgan film? It has it's funny parts, quite a few and it has it's boring parts. Funny movie for those just looking for a laugh. Bad movie for those looking to watch a good movie... - 3.0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6t0dWo58jg Edited May 30, 2010 by Fish7718 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 March Releases Alice in Wonderland http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/ff/Alice-In-Wonderland-Theatrical-Poster.jpg Scary? No. Freaky? Yes. Depp? Yes. Burton? Yes. Good? ....no. I guess this is really just an acquired taste the movie altogheter was just hard to follow and dumb, in my opinion. Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be a childerns movie, this is not a childerns movie. Infact it's almost quite the opposite. I don't it might be cool to check out just to see a Tim Burton film but I did not enjoy it. Still a decent movie I guess. - 3.0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCM4JiJ6B2I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) April-May Releases Clash of the Titans http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/80/Clashofthetitansremakeposter1.jpg Clash of the Titans is the story of Perseus who finds out that he is a demi-god or someone who is half god/half man. Anyway after the humans feel betrayed by the god's they topple a statue of Zeus into the sea, which wasn't a good idea. This starts a war between the men and gods. Zeus agrees to Hades plan to scare the humans back into loving the gods. However when Hades betrays Zeus Perseus is the only being who can save both men and the gods. This movie contains a lot of awesome and a great storyline to back it. Did a great job avoiding what I like to call the god-mode syndrome. This is when the main character is so beast that he can't be touched/shot/hurt/killed/etc. The only complaint I had was it was a bit anti-climatic. It seemed like the movie was taking it's time for the most part but then after the whole Kraken seen the movie just seems to rush to an end. Still a great movie, would have been a 5 with a better ending. BTW, big year for Liam Neeson huh? - 4.5 Iron Man 2 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ed/Iron_Man_2_poster.jpg Iron Man, in my opinion, was the best super hero movie of all time. It avoided god-mode, the hero was fun, down to earth, funny, and a guy that you really wanted to root for. A couple movies come close, Dark Knight for example and I wouldn't fault anyone saying Dark Knight is better but I prefer Iron Man. Why am I saying this? I'm explaining why I can say this movie was nowhere close to as good as the first, but was still great. In this movie Stark is experiencing many problems, he poisoned from his chest thing, he's got guys try to assassinate him, him and miss pots are going through and thing, and he's losing his friend. The S.H.I.E.L.D tie is becomes so prominent that it's actually a main focus in the movie as well. I enjoyed this movie a lot despite a lot of confusing parts, including when he discovers the element that saves his life, I still don't get it. Still funny, still great, still a must see. BTW Don Cheadle vs Terrence Howard, even. I was angry Howard is gone but Cheadle is more than a capable replacement. - 4.0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siQgD9qOhRs Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Prince_of_Persia_poster.jpg I had high hopes for this movie. However after buying my ticket I was thinking, wow this movie actually might suck. The movie ended up surpassing my original expectations, until I got to the weak ending. However I'm not going to let the ending ruin it for me. Dastan is an orphan who, after putting his neck out for a friend, is adopted by the king. Him and his three brothers are the the 3 generals in the army and lead their own guys into battle. The action scenes in the movie are greatly shot and fun to watch. The movie def looks like the game, and even like Assassins Creed at some points. Anyway after Dastan is betrayed for a dagger that has the ability to rewind time he goes on a mission to make sure the dagger is sealed away. Would have been a movie of the year canidate if not for the ending the made me go, -_-. - 4.5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I01KOfuD2k To come: June Movie Reviews (Toy Story 3, The A-Team, Grown Ups)July anticipated movies Edited June 29, 2010 by Fish7718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 How was Worthington in CotT? Also, PoP was a badass PS2 game ^_^He was alright, for the role. He had a lot of these corny, macho, I am a human not a god, type-lines that got old, may be more of the writing but those test the actors ability to keep a bad script a live. I didn't like him in Avatar nor Terminator, so maybe my opinion isn't the greatest. I've never play PoP I really wanted to play it before seeing the movie but after seeing the movie not having played the game is no big deal. My bro has the newest one for PS3 it's pretty cool, a lot like Assassins Creed tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when they throw stuff in like the drowning of the kids, the piles of bodies in Germany, etc. but it all makes it a more impactful film I suppose. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acZqbz5egfU I have to ask, did you notice this?

fish7718 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Kick [expletive] http://i.tmi.tc/images/p/12312.jpg The first thing I must describe about this movie is the actual fact that is a serious movie, meaning there's a deep plot behind and it actually is a pretty gory movie. That being said it only kind of makes the movie weird in my opinion. I think they would have been better suited with the disney channel, not a lot of blood approach. This way entertains as well though. The movie is about a teenager who decides to dress up like a super hero and might crime. However at the same time a father-daughter crime fighting duo is taking down the kingpin of a gang. Thus the self entitled "Kick-[expletive]" finds himself in a bit of jam, behing hunted by the mob. The movie is pretty much a straight up action/comedy. The realism is obviously thrown out the window if you watch the trailer you can see a little girl going god mode dodging bullets down a hall way, etc. Mediocre acting and a weird attempt lead me to give this a lower grade then it could have gotten. - 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfq3yJtTdhU MacGruber http://i.tmi.tc/images/p/600/16287.jpg Before I begin the review I want to thank Smitty for making a guest appearance in this movie Now, if you've ever seen the SNL skits or even the commercials before you pretty much know what to expect. MacGruber is a spoof on Mcgyver. Basically the special agent is very unorthodox but gets the job done, for the most part. The movie is great if you are looking for a laugh, terrible if your expecting serious movie. Still it's pretty hilarious!! - 3.5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqySbDqTGGc Robin Hood http://i.tmi.tc/images/p/17296.jpg If I had to pick 3 movies that I thought would be great this year, this would be in it. If I had to pick 3 movies that have disappointed me greatly, this would be in it. The acting is on point, the story line is good, however the production is off. The scenes have no flow at all to them, the movie seems like a jumble. However if you're able stay with it, still an awesome movie. The movie is not the actual Robin Hood storyline, it is pre-robin hood and the events that lead up to him becoming Robin Hood. Honestly, the worst I could have ever given this movie was probably a 3.5 simply because of the story line and Russell Crowe. Definitely a disappointment though. - 3.5 Get Him to the Greek http://i.tmi.tc/images/p/13000.jpg Get him to the Greek is a movie about a guy who works for a record label. When the label has money trouble, P. Diddy's character ask for suggestions. When he like's Johan Hill's character's idea, he is sent to London to bring Aldous Snow, the rock star from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, (Russell Brand) back to LA to the Greek theater, what ensues is madness. The movie is pretty funny, although some of the humor is crude, and some of it is lost on me. In the end the movie just doesn't work for me, it was funny but I think the plot is murdered somewhere in the middle of drug load cigarettes and chicks with mics as pubes... - 3 The A-Team http://i.tmi.tc/images/p/17590.jpg I PITY THE FOOL, who paid over $5 to see this movie, even though I did. The A-Team, as most of you know, is an old TV show of ex-army rangers who went around helping people. This movie is pretty much the formation of the team and a mission of theirs. After they are locked up when a mission of theirs is completely botched and their general ends up dieing they are all sent to prison, after breaking out, they all go after the man who set them up. It's a great movie with a lot of action and Jessica Biel. However the realism is worse than Kick [expletive], all 4 characters are completely god mode and the [expletive] they pull of and survive is beyond comprension. If you don't mind that 1,000,000:1 shot coming through every time aspect then raise my grade up a full number. - 3 Edited July 23, 2010 by Fish7718 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Toy Story 3*Nomination for best Animated Feature of the Year* http://i.tmi.tc/images/p/13079.jpg Let's face the truth, Pixar is the most successful studio in the business today. Every single movie they make is a hit. In fact it almost seems as if the Best Animated Feature Academy Award should just have their name written on it every year (btw they've won it the past 3 years and 5 of the 7 movies that have qualified for it have won) . A quick look at all the movies they have made will show anyone just how successful they are. Toy Stories 1 (5), 2 (4), and 3 (5), A Bugs Life (5), Monsters Inc. (5), Finding Nemo (5), The Incredibles (4.5), Cars (5), Ratatouille (5), WALL-E (4.5), UP (5). All but 2 of them are ranked on the IMDB top 250 list right now. It is no surprise to me that they wanted to clean up the one blemish they had with TS2, which was let's face it CRAP, compared to the original. Still a great movie (I just don't give away 4's), however we all know they could have done much better. If you didn't and saw TS3, you definitely know because they did. Toy Story 3 is nothing short of a masterpiece to cap of one of the greatest series's of movies that I have ever seen. Those of us who grew up with TS and feel a connection to Andy in the movie will probably agree with me, btw I don't blame those who cried in the end, it was quite emotional, in a happy mood too which is awesome. In TS3 Andy is going off to college and the Toy's are wondering weather or not they will be thrown out or stored in the attic. When they wind up in a day care center they realize they need to get back home, but is it too late? Not much more I can say that hasn't been said, another Best Animated Feature Award for Pixar. - 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKP-9BtBNEQ Edited July 23, 2010 by Fish7718 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
