day 39 whip it whip it good

Careful for spoilers..... not really

There is nothing to spoil that has not already been spoiled by its promotion. Whiplash i didnt care for. The most memorable moments are those that J.K. simmons did all over the Tv world. But man What an A-Hole. Not J.K. simmon he is a pompous dickhead but the kid. He left his girl to work hard for a man that will never show him respect . Im sorry but if that is what real music is like, im glad i didnt pursue it.

Final verdict 4.5/10 i could watch this but i didnt care. I have no desire to see it again.

* Id like to note that there is another good scene, but it ends up being backhanded... i am referring to the scene where J.K. and the boy discuss J.K. firing. He claims that he did all that he did to make the boy great. But those actions are not what drives a person, it is what destroys them, everyone is motivated differently. Some need to be called on their faults, others need to have their faults acknowledged only by themselves. Since the movie doesn't address this, music directors will think that this is a way to motivate, through fear. Which is not the case. It ends up working for this boy, but not without unnecessary struggle and pain.

star wars

Oh Dear, here it is, this one will have hate or love no matter what I say. So lets get to it.

Disclaimer these movies are all watchable ( *cough* even phantom menace) but on some days i want to see one over the other so when I rank these films number may not be number 1 forever.

Lets start by ranking before discussing.

1.)  Return of the Jedi
2.) Revenge of the Sith
3.) Empire Strikes Back
4.) Attack of the Clones
5.) A New Hope
6.) Phantom Menace

I can see it now... WHAT the original star wars is fifth! Now hang on, let me explain, ill work my way up.

Episode 1 Phantom Menace was such a let down. i was lucky enough not to be allowed to go to go and see it  in 1999. When i did see it, WOW i was so lost, and bored, and annoyed! like this is start wars! what am i watching! The only goo part of this movie is darth maul, and the pod races. other than that it is practically 2 hours of crap. shame on you George Lucas,

The first time I saw A New Hope unfortunately it was when it was called episode 4. but that didn't take away its impact.  Luke was a movie hero. WE ALL played start wars on the play ground. And if i got the choice i was yoda, but when he was taken I was luke. Luke showed us that everyone has a destiny for greatness, we just have to pursue it. He did luck into finding R2 and C-3PO. after that point he could have given up. When his aunt and uncle died, he moved on, when he was out numbered on the death star, he moved on. when he was the last pilot with a 2 meter hole to shoot at at he kept moving on. That is a powerful message to the audience that luke may be faced with impossible odds, but he will keep moving on, he will not quit. But why is this powerful message movie fifth of six?! well I dont desire to see this one as much. There are not quick passed fight scenes, there is a space fight but the climax is what is interesting and it doesn't have yoda.

My first in theater star wars movie of coarse is going to be in the middle. With the last movie released being garbage, the world was sceptical, but they did have great promotion. They had T'shirts, Stormtrooper( clone) talking helmets and lightsaber pens in cereal boxes. When i got my mace windu lightsaber i lost my mind. Attack of the clones as a whole is not all that good,. But it has redeeming qualities. Like the origins of the stormtroopers, the CGI of yoda, which looks awesome. Count dooku, anakin losing his arm, ( the explanation of why death was a robot basically), showing the parallels to like and anikin, and lastly, Mace freakin windu doing something played by Sam L jackson. I understand this is not a great film but there is so much nostalgia for me that it cant go lower than 4.

Now for the better half of the franchise. For the longest time Empire strikes back was the lowest of the original trilogy to me. I was the lowest because I was a child who didnt understand what was going on. But now have seen the films post teenage years i can understand that these scenes hit home to people who saw it in the theater. Like the " luke i am you father" thing. They blew peoples minds in the 80s. But for me in the 2000's who has seen it parodied a thousand and a half times. it meant nothing. but objectively lets look at why it is so important. It introduced the fact there are other jedi out there (yoda) it revealed who luke's father was, expanded on han and leia's relationship, and lando.

Revenge of the sith is the  most recent start wars film and i feel that it ended on a good note. more specifically the last 30mins ended on a good note. The epic fight between obi wan and evil ani has its own meme, parodied numerous times and was awesome. The last 30mins is why we needed the prequels. Not for the lame origins of darth vader they were trying to explore but the modern day animation to show how epic a fight cold be between two jedi. We couldn't get the full effect in the 80s. and hopefully episode 7 will countie to show epic fights. Also general grivus who i think was only mentioned in the 2nd movie makes his awesome appearance with 4 arms and 4 lightsabers. Also it is the film that rounded off start wars......until it was sold to disney, signs for 3 new movies, numerous animated series, and merchandise. so basically we will come to hate star wars do to over exposure

And my number 1 for now is Return of the Jedi which is an odd title becuz there was no return of any jedi, only the fall of the empire. Much like revenge of the sith, this movie rounded off start wars. it also showed us a resolution from empire strikes back where han was frozen. Also we got our last image of a hot carrie fisher in slave leia. Boba fetts death, darth vaders face, and identify in ghost forme, yodas death :(, another death star destroyed, and many other great scenes. the fact is while typing this i dont want return of the jedi to be number 1 an more but i have to stick to what i said.

If you havent figured it out, im a starwarys fan or a nerfherder.... but that is our word!

Day 38 the men in white

Day 38

Careful for spoilers

Men in black is what everyone movie goer wants. they want comedy, action, romance. I argue that there is a romance in men in black but it is unaddressed because there was a more interesting story to tell. There is clearly comedy with 1990's will smith and a good amount of action.

Who ever decided to cast this movie was a genius. They created the ultimate odd couple. We have a young, black, smartalec cop in will smith and we have an older, white, by the book, agent in tommy lee jones. At first you would think they would conflict the whole time but agent K ( tommy lee jones) was open to J ( will smith). the resistance came from a natural " learning the ropes" period. 

There is always the debate of what movie put will smith on the map. most would say independence day, other Bad boys. i say it is Men in black becuz he showed that he can produce movies that children could still enjoy. The first time i saw men in black, I saw it one day before i saw men in black 2 in theaters. While it does have a handful of adult jokes such as an alien pregnancy, suicidal jumps, and "the size of the gun", children could enjoy this more than indencedace day or Bad boys. 

Just to cover the franchise im going to rank them and how the overall franchise ranks. 

MIB2  7/10

MIB    6.5/10

MIB3  6/10

MIB 2 is the by far the best because it took the elements established in MIB and expanded on them. It also gave us a villain we could understand. MIB and MIB3 the villains are hardcore 1970s sci fi aliens the ones that look creepy but have no substance. MIB unfortunately just holds up as the starter it had great moments from an origins film but there was a lack of standing out. however! it does have some of the best comedic moment of the franchise. THE " we are the best of the best of the best sir!" i still use to this day. And not we must talk about MIB3 not a bad movie but after 10 years there were just money grabbing. there was no need for a third one and tommy lee jones is barely in the thing. Which upsets me becuz it was the chemistry of young and old that made K and J work. with the time travel aspect J was the old guy and josh brolin was the young which wasnt as good. 

I do enjoy all the 3 films. as a whole the final verdict is 7/10 you ask " how is it possible to have a 7/10 when two movies were below that. ill tell you.... if some says " ive got MIB 1,2,3 i m watching them. They are enjoyable. some days they are 10s some days they are 5s but for today i say they are 7s.

Random recommendations: man of the house, ( both versions) Bad boys, The fugitive, Pursuit of happyness, Hitch,    

Day 37 cast away to the airport

Day 37

Careful for spoilers

Why the joke about cast away? I respect this movie and yet I joke. to a point The Terminal is a lot like cast away. It has Tom Hanks, stuck in one location, and the theme of the "film is sticking it out" (one case is values, the other is survival). But all jokes aside both have their own unique story which make you wonder, why? could I? should I?

The Terminal follows the story of a man without a country. while traveling to new york his country has a revolution thus, his country ( or passport) does not exist. Of coarse instead of just returning him or letting him visit ( when the passport was valid) An airport official restricts him to the terminal. While at the terminal tom hanks has to find a way to make it work until he can leave. And idk if this is a "first world problem" but I almost had a tear form from two scenes of his survival. One when he was collecting carts to get quarters; just so he could eat a real burger. Two when he is translating for a man smuggling drugs into the country for his father. /Both of these event were difficult becuz the official stopped him collecting carts ( his own source of food) and wouldn't allow the drugs in becuz of a form not being filled out.

I can ignore the bad accent in the movie. so becuz of that is give the terminal a 8/10 for a final verdict. It fails to have a leading lady i want him to be with, together or not i didn't care. I loved tom hank's performance and character. im glad this is a stand alone film and hollywood left it alone. Positively the terminal is a thought provoking movie that will make you appreciate what you have and that there is always a good friend in the airport ( this reviewer does not condone the making all friend at the airport).

Random recommendations: Cast away. toy story 1,2,3. Big. catch me if you can. Nope sorry just every tom hanks films is good ( omit cloud atlas)  

Bonus movie 3 not "tammy"

Today i saw Spy. It was really good. Not the best comedy ever but wow best one ive seen in theaters in awhile. Ill be generous and give it a 7/10 for now.

Similar to get smart a secret agent is put into the field well before they are ready this adpatation doesnt follow a series like get smart did so their story didnt have to force elemnts or easter eggs from the scoure material.

Comparing the two id say spy>get smart but I still need to see it again to be sure.

I loved jason Statham more than mellisa Mccarthy but who doesnt. Its fails to be suprising,but it is a comedy not an actual thriller. Go check out this movie before its a well deserved $20 at wal mart.

Day 36 the day the earth stood frozen

Day 36

Careful for spoilers

Snowpiercer

This is one of the original recommendations. Also an unknown film. Staring chris evans and other british stars This is a post apocalyptic society living on a train as a result of "fixing global warming" quickly.

*every movie gets 30mins before can label it as bad

Along with my 30min rule I am still hooked! but that is a BS problem. Honestly?! If you had real scientist they would know rapid changes in weather would destory the plaent for humans...regaurdless that is the only fault of the movie so far.

This movie follows class battle idea. I feel like if this movie was more popular this IMPORTANT message needs to be addressed. I mean do to class...they isolated a grouo of people where they can take their children at any point. Their world in the front train is unknown to the back and thats messed up.

Id like to say (in a good way) I loved the frozen arm scene! It terrible to love this guy losing his arm but it was done so well! And that is a real punishment for these people. Truely sends a message to the lower class. Heck I dont want to throw my shoe now after seeing that.

*sidenote can we all just take a moment and thank marvel for giving chirs evans the capt american role! Really made him a well known name versus the jock/idiot role. You know how BA he Is? He took a leap of faith much like indie in the last crusade and put a "loaded" gun to his head and fired it himself. Wow.

At 30min in im hooked and reall questioning why I havent heard of this movie.

Another question. And I hope this will be answered...what is in the protein bars? I saw like bugs. But he was discussed beyond all means. Maybe its something I dont understand.

Oh!!! Ninja gaurds it wouldnt be an epic fight without ninja gaurds! Thats sweet everyone pauses for the new year :)

There is a halorious and creepy elementary school scene which inthing you should all check out on youtube at the least.

Finally our hero arrives to the front of the train and reveals who willford is. Im not spoiling this becuz who it is,is perfect for the role

The finally is upsetting in regards to "I want more" fever but good stories cant be countined.

*btw no polar bears would be around if they were trying to fix global warming. They are almost gone...now. so just calling bull crap.

Final verdict: I agree with rotten tomatos 95% or my scale 9.5/10 almost a perfect movie. I highly recommend you all go and buy this movie. One of chris evans best. It only faults on the conclusion. I was hoping for a suprise at the end. But that doesnt hurt the film.

Day 32 my bad day

Day 32

Careful for spoilers

Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no goof, very bad day

Side Notes 1.) Why does belle thorne always play the whore? 2.) When did the hot jennifer garner become a mom role actress? 3.) Can disney make a crappy movie? Is their scale "okay to super special awesome"

Lets do this like a trailer.. "follow the story of ALEX a 12yr old boy who is the namesake of the movie, but will only be in it for 1/4 of the time. And steve carell the famous and relevant celeb who will make your parents watch this movie. In their adventure of an extremely long title which is forced to be said within the movie 3x only.

Read all of the above in the honest trailer guys voice.

Dick van dyke!

There are handful of minor celebs in this movie I dont know if that makes it good. But it doesn't hurt it ether. (Girl who married nick offerman, stifler's mom, donald glover)

5/10 not good, not bad. I liked how it related so well with the book, but very predictable and unoriginal. But I could finish it, so its better than heat.

I recommend watching with the kids you babysit. They will love it.

Random recommendations: bedtime stories, mystery team, little miss sunshine, hook.

Day 30 judgement day

Day 30

Careful for spoilers

Hasta la vista baby! To the terminator franchise. Everyone has their favorite movie. Mine is rise of the machines. Most is T2 judgement day. And if someone says salvation they are lying. I have high hopes for the newest installment and unfortunately, do to trailers, this reboot trilogy will never happen.

The original story doesnt exist anymore. Kyle reese comes back in time to protect sarah conner from dying till she can bare john conner the salvation of the world. But do to skynets involvement johns father is someone else.

Fast forward to T2. Skynet attempts again to kill john but this time when he is a boy. But becuz of the events of the original now sarah connor is B.A.! And judgment days is decades closer.

Jump to rise of the machines. Judgement day was avoid/postponed do to T2. Now skynet sends yet another terminator back to kill those who will rally around john in the fight. And skynet was going to win if not for johns wife.

If you are keeping track the original timeline which doesnt exist at all anymore.

Salvation is garbage so dont watch that one. They go to the modern war and just confuse everyone.

I feel like i have to explain why i like rise of the machines over T2 and it was a toss up. mine comes from nostalgia. it was my first terminator and it just worked for. that and john connor the kid was a dick. so for now T2 is second but that could change. 

I order my terminators like this

1)rise of the machine
2)T2
3) the original
4) genesis(im no spelling it their way)
5) salvation

*I haven't seen genesis yet but ik it is better than salvation.

As an over all franchise I agree with rotten tomatoes
Its 6/10
Some are good others are horrid.

I suggest you did what I did and go to target mow and but 2-4. What?! U bought 4? No. I bought a combo rise of the machines and salvation for $4.75 money well spent. Then $5 T2 1996 addition blue ray. I could find the original but its on netflix.

Random recommendations: running man, chuck the Tv show, jingle all the way, twins, true lies, yes. Batman and robin(its so stupid its fun to watch)

Bonus movie 2

Mad max fury road

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!

Final verdict 5/10

This is an initial response but I found this movie to be lack luster to the hype. And to be honest I dozed off at one point. There was no significant plot. And when one is established the conflict to the plot is resolved quickly.

Also lets address the title. It is a mad max movie. Yet he has less or matches thrones screen time. Also he maybe says 200 words the whole movie. As a stand alone movie called "fury road" it maybe was better. But as a 4th installment it was confusing.

I have not seen any mad maxes before this but reviewer and critics claimed anyone can enjoy this movie without knowledge, yet I was lost. So there goes that.

Highlights of the film are the actions. That I got!  It was really cool and that is why it gets such a high verdict. Um half naked hotties. I approve. The girl from transformers. Hot! But im starting to see a trend..

I was very confused on the culture of this film. There is a silver mist they spray on their faces and it was never explained...was it to come back to life? Was it symbolic? What was the point?!

Why was everyone british or Australian? Like almost everyone had an accent. If the movie said "hey we are in Australia" id let it slide..

Also what about the blood boy? Hhmm why does he need to have blood in him? Are all humans deprived of blood? Idk movie...you didnt explain it for me...

Unfortunately im glad I saw this in the cheap theater. Cuz I felt ripped off. I have no desire to buy this movie nor watch other mad maxes. Im sorry but explos8 do not make a movie *cough* michael bay.

Day 34 welcome to earth

Day 34

Careful for spoilers

Happy independence day!

Lets start with the greatest motivational speech. 

" The President: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.

Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.

We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.

We will be united in our common interests.

Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.

We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.

And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:

"We will not go quietly into the night!

We will not vanish without a fight!

We're going to live on!

We're going to survive!"

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!"

Wowowowow! Anyone else high on america right  now? Ik I am!

This movie doesnt need a descriptive review. It needs a warning. 8/10 movie but tread lightly. A sequel is on the way and I think it will BOMB in comparison.

Im waiting for a trailer but nothing will be better than the original.

GO WATCH IT and happy 4th of july.

And Welcome to Earth!

movie fights

im testing this out. There is a Youtube channel called " screenjunkies" and they have a series called "movie fight" where they take questions about movies and fight over who answer is correct. like for example... what is the best 4th installment in a franchise? the correct answer is rocky 4....duh. they suggested other things and the winner was mad max fury road. i disagree.

So im going to take their questions before viewing. give a brief description of MY choice. then post their choice and say why theirs was better or mine was.

all credit to screen junkies and youtube

underlined my answer   bold their answers

0:07:26 FIGHT 1 - Worst Terminator Sequel? oh without evening seeing the new one i know its terminator salvations. that movie was garbage! we finally go to the future and we barely see the savor john connor. the CGI was sufficient but sadly T2 had better CGI aside from the terminator bots. also since its release it has been in the bargain bin. we cant even say that for rise of the machines which many fans did not like, i did, but others didnt. Salvations 
0:21:02 FIGHT 2 - Pitch Arnold's next movie N/A action movie. duh. i say he would be good a war viet who has to fight along side modern military invasion. yeah it is a bit red dawnish but i think he is done as the star. he may be the old man now. and animation is out. but *knock on wood* a better terminator   almost everyone had him as a retiry coming out of retirement... similar to mine. but nick! the finally movie for arny im all for that. but his reaction " so he obviously has checked out... WHAT!? no thats my movie"
0:28:52 FIGHT 3 - Best movie explosion The dark knight when the joker blows up the hospital. it was funny yet big and pretty cool to see on the big screen. independence day white house. while i agree its good. mine is better as a whole. there was a funny aspect, the size was massive. but still the white house blowing up, to my generation, isnt as powerful. We have seen it a thousand times. but independence day was the first ( good one).
0:38:50 FIGHT 4 - Best movie of 2015 so far? i havent seen alot in the theaters but im going with age of ultron even though it didn't live up to the hype. i completely disagree with mad max. furious 7, while good, i didnt see twice.  im sorry nick.. love ya bro.. but there was absolutely no story. "the quest for the green place" no. that weak. ill give you the action was awesome!! but no story. kingsman? i wasn't clear who won. but mad max lost so good show.
0:52:23 FIGHT 5 - What is the best movie sequel title?  This one is tough for me cuz i could think of any so im just gonna go with live free or die hard. i know i lost but i just like the title it sneaks in what franchise it is from but also sends a message. " you will live free or you are gonna die hard"  hot shots part deux? really!? no empire strikes back when he said it i thought he should have won. that is an impactful title. sure it spoils but wow not enough and it catches your attention. 
0:59:30 FIGHT 6 - Best superhero costume/uniform used in a movie? ironman. hands down. iron man suit was ground breaking both as the CGI and the practical suit. they both look awesome. ironman
1:10:30 FIGHT 7 - SPEED ROUND

2/6 not bad.

Day 35 cool runnings man

Day 35

Careful for spoilers

Watch out the governator is back and he is running! Yeah, ik, anothering running movie( forest gump). he does other things too! Like walking... and jumping... trust me its alot better than the premise.

in a torn up future a man is accused of mass murder and placed on a reality tv show where he will be chased and run for his life. wait,,,, ive here of this..... death race? come on! is nothing original? sure this came out before the modern death race but really?!

so you know how we all LOOOVVEEE hunger games. well here is yet another hunger games but it is from the 80s. this thing was clearly stolen from for hunger games they used similar suits in catching fire. no seriously look at them....

Ha you know the hero has charisma when he can turn the crowd into thinking he is the one who si gonna get the next kill!

i did enjoying seeing richard dawson on the big screen...even though he did the same thing he always does.. and when he cursed! whoa! momma hide your kids!

Arny shows us that he is a one liner action star. even in this move he says "ill be back" like really dude? you have had almost 4 years to learn english, get a new line! regardless. the running man is an entertaining 80s movie that has not be given its do. i am not a fan of the film but as we can see, elements of it were stolen to create bigger and better franchises so it serves a purpose in cinema.

Final verdict: 4.5/10 a good movie that doesnt make an impact or with stand the test of time. alot of the practical effects are kinda of corny by today's standards. but you know what i still say watch it. no one show ever own it. but to watch it on a big screen is a lot of fun. hearing the roar of engines and weapons make you feel exhilarated  

Day 31 my.my.my.my...my stay at the budapest

Day 31

Careful for spoilers

Stories within stories within stories the Grand budapest hotel deterred me with this idea. While it drew me in with the dialogue it annoyed me that I didnt know which story I was listening too.

So im expected to believe, and follow, that a indian looking boy lobby boy becomes a clearly white old man, who tells a story to middle aged british man in the 60s, who then wants to tell a camera? In the 1980s? where then a girl mourns his death in the modern day? Like really I was lost who to follow. But not on what events that were being presented to me.

Also Wes anderson sure loves himself some edward  norton can you say depp-burton?

I was entertained by the funeral scene where one great dialogue by jeff goldblum then fun slapstick punching by every main character so far. All becuz of some painting.

Side note. Look at the lobby boys love interest. Am I the only one who thinks that scar looks like mexico?

So when gustav goes to jail he undoubtedly tries to escape. When he does it once again is comical. I am not a fan of wes anderson's directing style but the budapest did keep my attention.

The calling of every hotel and then the lobby boys taking over! Ha! Becuz it us that easy!

Willem freakin defoe can scare the crap out of anyone without doing anything. Even bill freakin murray sneaks his way into this movie. The hat trick! Owen Wilson

My overall.opinion of wes anderson has not been changed. But I do see a shred of light in the dark tunnel. He can make an entertaining movie! Just let someone else hold the camera....

Final verdict: 6/10 a fine movie with few flaws. I dont believe I will see it again unless it is to find out which story I am supposed to have followed the whole time.
There were good costumes and idk how to say this.... good making all clues obvious? You will know what I mean when you see the film. I recommend you watch it as a mid sundays movie when football isn't on.

Random recommendations: harry potter 4-8, zombieland, spiderman, the incredible hulk, birdman, independence day

Day 33 the perks if being forgotten

Day33

Careful for spoilers

This got me excited! First off paul rudd. Thats cool enough, but he gave like an oral quiz and I got charles dickens right but the origins of box office wrong. Whatever. That is still more correct answers than I got in actual high school english class.

Literary nerd. Really? I wanted to punch that chick.

2 notes. When you introduce emma watson to a movie you always shine a bright light to announce her glory just like this movie did and second "shag" can she be more of a brit in america...

Its best to read along side the movie. Alot of play by play

You want a little plot right? So that one kid from percy jackson takes on a new role of moody average teenager boy. And he struggles with his vast knowledge of the literary arts and his goal of being unnoticed. One day he chooses to step outside of his shell and talk to a senior named patrick or "nothing"  and his smoking hot step sister emma watson. He connects with the two and once again breaks his shell and dances like a dork at what I assume is homecoming?

Patrick I feel must be gay at this point of the film cuz I haven't finished yet but he just seems like it. We will see.

After homecoming? The gang takes charlie to a party where he trips ballz. Dude when you go to a party dont take brownies. But it does lighten him up so he can be real. Isnt that  ultimately the question of high school? Will taking down our barrier reveal to the world who we really are? Will we be happy or sad from what we discover?. Charle, to me, feel good that he is accepted when he is loose and free of his own obstacles.

Ha! Called it patrick was gay! Knew it! Thats a point lost director for "predictability"

What is rocky horror? From this I assume is it drag? Like I liked seeing emma in the outfit but um kinda creepy scene. Annnnd cue high school drama! Oh no my ACT/SAT wasnt good :( wah!

Real talk. I know no high schooler will read this but high school is a time to enjoy. Dont stress. Live life and the knowledge will come.

Oh the first kiss, emma is such a catch for letting him have his first be her and claiming that it is from some one who loves him. Idk what the rest of the movie will say, I know someone is gonna backstab.

For a guy who is "a walflower" an unknown, a loner. He sure takes alot of drugs in high school to the point he needed to go to the hospital. Im not a loner but ive never came close to this guy.
Ive kinda lost some cred for mae witman watching her rocky horror. Im scared! Come on katara!

Yo bro you had emma (yes she was taken, but you had her!) and you go to prom?? With mae? I like mae and all but come on. Also this movie is not clear with what social events are going on in the year.

When you makeout with a girl dont picture another. Just saying. Also do you really was a girlfriend who shares private moments at the lunch table? Clingy girlfriend alert!!!!!

Ggaaaaahhhhh teen melodrama I do not care!!!! About your forced future college problems who cares!!!

Btw his truth or dare response was awesome! Point back director!

Walflower got skill! Another good scene is the lunch room fight. I guess I was lost on the reason for the fight? Wasn't he also gay?

Oh the classic I screwed up and you'll forgive me. Good job charle getting I  emmas good side. Awwwn patrick was sad and kissed charlie...wait? Charle you are straight right? Dude, this guys freshman year has more drama then all of the 2000-2010.

Also lets appreciate the dead poets "ness" of paul rudds character. Trying to motivate people to read. That is a challenge. Oh look! Another social gathering which is not explained! Minus a point!

Left turn! All of the trippy vision shots of him as a kid was becuz he thought he killed his aunt helen! Where did this break down come from? He obviously was suppressing alot thus the original antisocial nature but wow.
What aunt helen did to him? Rape? Psychological trauma? What did she do?!

*also more dead poets

Ohh its nice that they can do the tunnel thing!

Final verdict: gotta say im disappointed by how long this was on my dvr. I should have deleted it along time ago. A solid 5.5/10 but nothing special. A noticeably unremarkable movie. It does some things well but doesnt hook you for the whole movie. I did practically a play by play of the movie and still was lost of what the point was I get he was messed up but come on the story implies that him breaking his "walflower" ness would make him happy not reveal his demons.

I recommend watching as a date movie. You may like it you may not but there will be alot to discuss between you two.

Day 29 dance with the devil

Day 29

(Careful for spoilers)

*Hoooow can you seeeeee into my eyes like open doooorrs* -evanescence

Before I start lets get one thing straight daredevil is not a bad movie. It is not a great movie ether. Also lets establish it is a "comic book movie" not a "superhero movie".

So everyone give this movie terrible reviews for its poor acting, musical presence, and lack of purpose. I agrue that some are true and others arent. Like musical presence. Evanescence is an awesome band and I love that they are in this movie so much. Also poor acting. Yeah there is some really corny acting and puns but that is do to the comic book nature of the story not only the acting. And last is the lack of purpose...yeah ill give you that one. His struggle is so broad that he never had a purpose beyond impressing a girl and kicking butt.

Daredevil is considered one of ben afflacks worst films to the point that no one wanted him to be batman. And I to was on that boat but not for this. But becuz he didnt seem like a good bruce wayne...we will see. Also can we all remeber that gigli came out this year? Whatever..

Sidenote. Um why is he daredevil and not batman? He sees with sonar...he is only out at night... and he well here is a video

Soo I could go into the plot but im not gonna. I say watch it regaurdless. It will fill in some blanks from the daredevil netflix serie. Which btw I say you all need to watch before season 2 comes out #punisher!

What we are reall upset about daredevil is it was the nail in the coffin for comic book movies and started the attempts to get back to super hero movies. Which in my opinion were revived with ironman/dark knight.

So the main villian is kingpin and bullseye which michael.clarke ducan did great and collin farrel made a joke off. Honestly how hard is it to play a guy who is nuts? Like really....

Final verdict: 6/10 I like it and I think it gets a bad rep. For a character thag audiences arent ready for it did well enough in 2003. Also this did win awards so maybe it wasnt recieved well after its release. I pray that this isnt the fate of  paul rudds ant-man but it may happen becuz it is a hard to relate character. Only time will tell....

Summer movie challenge day 27- prison break 2

Escape plan.

(Careful for spoilers)

This is another movie thay wasnt we recieved or memorable. But I still like it. Before this review I have seen this movie 3x 1 rental. 2 via TV. I recently bought this movie for 7.50 to do the review. And honestly I would have paid more.

It is a classic escape movie. Think of it as a less serious prison break. We have the great slyvestor stallone. And the governator (ArnoldSchwarzenegger). Now I think this was one of the first movies arny had after being governor and so far he hasnt had a hit. But I like it. What do yoy exscept with 2 legends if action in their 60-70s.

Im not gonna give the plot but search the opening scene and I guarantee you will want to watch more.

Final verdict 7.5/10 I dont recommend buying becuz it had a mystery aspect and escape. So once you know something you dont enjoy as much. I personally own it. And will lend. Its a great movie so watch it.

Summermoviechallengeday 26- -

Rush hour

(Careful for spoilers

3 movies! 3! Come on guys stop guving churs tucker a name with these. He doesnt have depth! Whatever. Im reviewing rush hour 123.  

(Not summery in this review)

Rush hour the title is all based on a pun from the first movie. At that it seemed forced. What they should have called it was "blasian" or "wah urya yeah! What is it good for?" But it would have never been as exciting or recieved well with those titles.

A mixture or suttle rascism and buddy cops leads to an iconic duo of lee and carter (jackie chan, chris tucker, respectively). And quotes "dont you ever touch a black mans radio."

Objectively, this movie should have never been made or had sequals. But it was the performances of tucker and chan that made this a unique and stand out franchise.

Hopefully they will never make another movie becuz they really forced the conflict for the last two. That and I want chris tucker to find some depth in his acting.

Over all these are movies you watch for fun. Not to get pumped, not to be sad, not to be aroused(some hot chicks). But for fun.

I give each movie a different rating

RH 6.5/10
RH2 7/10
RH3 7/10

Im in a minority with rusg hour 3 but I enjoyed it and had fun seeing it in the theaters.

Summer movie challenge day 25- my day with denzel

Day 25
(Careful for spoilers)

Wow Training day sends you a message about corrupt cops. And are they really corrupt? Denzel and ethan hawke make you question what is need to be done to truly protect and serve the community from drugs.

Hawke plays a "by the book" rookie cop who teams with denzel, a hardcore doesnt give a  F%/K undercover cop. At first denzel appears to just be a rough teacher but he opens the eyes of hawke to what the street really is. A place a constant struggle both by those who take from and put drugs in the streets.

The whole movie you question if denzel is actually a cop at all or a psycho who stole some guns and police gear. I mean he literally steals $60 for a bum and some other amount from this really scummy looking woman.

Honestly I recorded this movie and it cut out for a while so I may have missed some details.

Before I even finish the movie im giving it above a 5/10 becuz im hooked I want to keep watching and see how things progress.

Another scene. Wow.. early in the movir denzel vists a friend who at that point in the movie didnt seem to have a purpose. But later he returns with his crew of corrupt officers to take 4mill from his friend and once again denzel tests hawke to shoot his friend. When he, a good cop, refuses, denzel shoots his friend and tuants hawke into being the scapegoat. Just wow. He planned it all. He got hawke on drugs and tested his limits so when he wanted to steal 4mill, hawke would take the fallm now that is planning.

My major issue is what put hawke over the edge. It wasnt forcing him to do drugs. It wasnt roughing up bums. Heck it wasnt even killing his friend. It was leaving him at a sketchy party. Seriously?! Where is the line for this guy?

Also um a naked eva mendes? This should have made headline news! Like shes not even partial. Its full on! And was it needed for the story? Yes! Nudity needs a purpose in film thats at least the philosophy of anne Hathaway. For this she was nude cuz they were man and wife??? In bed getting read to finish the day. It makes sense.

The final act of the movie and day is hawke v. Denzel. And what happen? Well ull just have to watch ;)

Final verdict: 7.5/10 it was an excellent movie with suppurb acting by denzel however it lacks to be rewatchable. If I every wanted to see it again it would be to watch denzel's preformance again.

Day 24 - ironman 0.5

have you ever wanted to be a superhero? Well for one young boy this dream came true. With an extra terrestrial iron man suit. One young boy saves his planet all before bed time. With the 1997 classic star kid.

If you loved iron man you will love this lighthearted 90s adaptation of super suits. A young boy finds a super suit in a junk yard which assistd him in defeating an invading alien race.

But of coarse we have to see a kid be a kid he takes his revenge on his bully. And teaches the alien what it means to be a human. (Like jokes) also he has to get the 10year old girl.

Dont forget the subplot of an older sister who neglects to watch her brother for her boyfriend.

Oh!! Your wondering does it have those 90s special effects? Actually no. For a scifi movie there are few speical effects morr practical ones. Also the villains costume is b.a. it would have been awesome if they used thay suit for another race in a super hero movie. Oh well.

Bare in mind this was thr 90s...so There are alot of modern clichés( boyfriend ruining babysitter, beat up your bully, dorking 10 year old, etc) in this movie thats why rotten tomatos doesnt give it a good review.

Im being openminded. For a good family movie id give the final verdict of 6.5/10. It screams 90s but has a good story to tell and will encourage kid to be proud of who they are. It is unlikely you will own this movie or find it. But if you do I say watch.

Random recommendations: P.U.N.K.s, ironman, E.T., small soilders.

Day 23 - dude where is my wife?

Gone girl

(Careful for spoilers)

So we all have one couple in mind that is "the perfect couple." Whether they are real or fictional. We hvlave this idea of what a perfect couple should be.

They should have fun together. Be fun to be around with other people. And show their love for each other. Well sometimes you get 2 out of 3 and even wrose 1 of 3. The 1 of 3 get divorced. The 2 of 3 could get divored.

Now im not saying that couple are required to be these 3 things but they do need to feel themselves amd when they are around others that they are happy.

Why am I giving this lecture on relationships when ive never been in one? Well to understand why the events of gone girl. Could happen we have to know why people get divorced.

Oh and the fact that scum bags be scumbags. That is important too. And to take the words of phillp defranco. (Bitches!).

The start of the movie starts with ben afflack and his sister. But their relationship isnt thay of a bro and sis. I thought she was the wife or an ex-wife.
He takes so time to discuss why his marriage sucks and what it used to be. Idk about you guys but at this point im thinking he had an okay marriage but its basis was that they were physically attracted. Thats about. Heck when they first meet ben afflacks deters her from other men by pointing out phyiscal flaws.
And it worked! Seriously ladies if a guy is judgy of other men he may have nothing else to say. Or he is nervous.

Annnnnny waysm ben comes back to his house where he finds ....nothing. no one is there but he does find a torn up house. At this point the story goes into a frantic search for her and what she may do.

There is one detail I left out. every anniversary she sets her husband on a quest for his anniversary gift. This year it was something made of wood.

So for the first 1.5hr he is seaeching for clues to his anniversary and her daily actions. When he finds the last clue he is puzzled....

Here we cut to the wife who has not died and has not been kidnapped but instead has run. But has framed her husband becuz he cheated on her.

Idk about you but (bitches!) @phillipdefranco.

Who frames their husband and possible put him to death just becuz he cheated. Get a divorce and make him poor. But whatever. Skipping to the end she meets with her ex bpyfriend played by the great .n.p.h of neil patrick harris. And frames him as her raper and kidnapper. When she returns to ben the first words from his mouth are "you fucking bitch." Now these two scumbags are faking a happy marriage becuz they are famous. And arr havjng a baby. I didnt catch if it was bens but he feels the need to be stuck with her becuz of the kid. The sister wants him to leave. But they keep up the charade.

Throughout this movie I didnt know who to rute for. The cheating husband or the sinical wife. So I ruted for the cat becuz that thing did nothing wrong!

Final veridict: 8/10. I liked it. And am going to rewatch it to see what I missed. The conclusion wasnt to good for me but I was distracted for the last part of the movie...

Summer movie challenge day 22

Day 22

Careful for spoilers

Heat. Not the heat. The heat is good, Heat bored me. I watch an hour was super confused or bored idk which. Seriously with val kilmer. Al pacino. And robert deniro. It should be great. But my word I did....not....care.

All I know is that there is a robbery. A cop/detective. And a "rapist?" I didnt finish to see if he did. He was a serial killer for sure.

There is a rule that 30min into a movie you can determine if it is worth watching. I was feeling generous and watch an hour of a 3hr movie. And ill never get that hour back.

I have nothing to say good or bad cuz there was nothing significant.

Others will say its awesome. Like rotten tomatoes says like 80%? But its from 1995 and they probably finished.

So my final verdict is 2/10 for loving celebs you can watch it. For getting pumped and excired from a crime thriller dont watch this.

Random recommendations.

Anything other than this.

Summer movie challenge day 21

Day 21

(Careful for spoilers)

We all like mean girls, but that is not this review. It is basically the same story but for another generation. We are about to watch the d.u.f.f.

We follow mae witman in her high school years. Which btw she is 27! Playing 18. Gezz girl needs to age! Well as well all know there is always an unpopular person in school. In this case they are called a d.u.f.f. or a (designated ugly fat friends.).

This person does not need to be ugly or fat but they need to be lesser than the hot popular friend. Which I think is unlikely. Sure some hot cliques have less hot people but not to this extent the movie is suggesting.

So mae. Learns of this term and does not like how her far hotter friends have done this to her. So she goes on a mission to not become the duff with the assistance of a dumb jock QB. Played by robbie amell.

Since this is 2015 we dont get the 1980s reveal of the hot girl but instead the montage of her trying on outfits hits the web crushing her dreams. There is a boy she falls for if the movie (not the QB) and after the video of her went viral he and mae go on a date.

The QB had some good advice about how to make a first date work for you. Sit close. Make sure you read signs of affection. Etc. Well mae had this plan to go to dave and busters with him, the boy 86s her and said nope we wilp stay in for some home made sushi. Mae attempts to make his home work for her and ends up learning that she was being duffed once more. Of coarse she was crushed...

She mopes around and they finds confidence in herself. Honestly I dont want to say anymore. Just watch it.

Final verdict: 5.5/10 does this mean its a bad movie? No! It was good but ut has been done! And will not stand the test of time. So if your feeling in a romantic mood and want a good date movie watch the d.u.f.f.

Summer movie challenge day 20

Day 20

Careful for spoilers

You know how adam sandler is just declining declining declining. Welllllll he still is. The Cobbler. I had high hopes for, but I ended up just peaking in on it. I was never hooked. So this review maybe be flawed but that's the movie fault. Not mine.

Final verdict 4/10 there was 3 celebs adam sandler, dustin hoffman, and steve buscemi. The story was uninteresting and the purpose and lore of the story was never explained fully.

The story follows a sad cobbler who discovers that he has a machine that allows him to become anyone who;s shoes he wears. ( i knoq, i know, but it seemed cool)

I thought that the story was going to uncover the human condition, instead it goes on one mans journey to get revenge on those who hurt his street and costumers. Sounds good, but I was bored.

There is one good part and its the ending. There is a surprise twist. And if you want it ruined watch the last half hour. Im not gonna waste your time.

so to be fair i like adams attempt to do serious acting instead of fart jokes but he just couldnt avoid taking a good plot and making it a joke. also another spoiler of the ending. the ending suggests a sequel which im thinking, no. dont. ever.

Day 19

Day 19

(Careful for spoilers)

Alright gang I know it has been awhile but lets talk oscar. As you may know I am not a fan of oscar movies. They "insist" upon themselves when they only get recognized 1 month of the year. This oscar movie did just that, it was only know for 1 month. In fact when I state the name I bet you will go look it up becuz you didn't know it was up for an oscar. Nightcrawler.

So first off this movie im doing the final verdict now cuz there isnt much story to tell. This movie is a wonderful representation of what a psychologically insane but functionality sound person does.

Final verdict. 6/10. There wasn't much Rewatchability to this movie. It was a good movie but I dont think I need to see it again or own it. I do suggest you catch it on netflix on a weekend.

This movie follows jake gyllenhaal (im not looking it up) a sleazy man who loves to be in control. One night after a failed attempt at selling stolen metals. He sees a car accident. While at the seen a few men were recording the wreckage to sell to the news. This intrigued jake cuz it was the mayhem he desired but with his control.

He tried to get into the biz which wasnt to hard all he need was a police scanner and a camera. Which in a funny scene he sells a bike claiming to have won the tour de mexico for $2000 and settles for 800. It was a P.o.s. bike.

Anyways....he enlisted a man to be his side kick. He shoots so videos... like I said not much story... one night he sees a murder before the cops do and gets the exclusive. While seeing this, he withholds info so he could catch the murders on film again. Well not gonna spoil it but that's the highlight of the movie.
