| It's here, it's Wednesday, it's about dang time for...
 My reviews, based on what I think and how much I liked the movie.
1 polar bear = Bad. 4 polar bears = Fantastic!
If you haven't seen the first movie 'Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle' then you probably can't appreciate how juvenile and male oriented this movie is. There is nothing in either of these movies that will benefit women in anyway other than the free time they may have while their husbands/ boy friends are watching it by themselves. That being said, if you're a fan, then this movie is funny. The premise is insane, the story a joke, but the over the top bad guy and the last scene with President Bush makes for a pretty funny movie. No redeeming social, value but funny.
You've heard the hype, you've heard about it from people who've seen it. In my opinion 'The Dark Night' itself isn't as good as the first movie 'Batman Begins'. However, what makes this movie one of the greatest hero movies of all time is its villain. Health Ledger's performance IS, truly is Oscar worthy. He takes control of this movie and puts you in a place where you have no idea what he is going to do next. I found myself feeling unsettled watching it, literally squirming in my chair. The 21/2 hours flies by and when its over you realize that you just got your moneys worth.
I saw this movie earlier this and was convinced I wouldn't see a better one. Well maybe I have but this movie is by far the most fun I've had in the theater in a long time. Robert Downey Jr. as the billionaire/ inventor/ playboy creates a character that takes over the movie. He is Tony Stark. HE is IRON MAN. Great movie.
Filed way in the "straight To DVD" category is 'Starship Troopers - Marauder' or Starship Troopers 3 if you will. I liked the first movie Starship Trooper despite its bad acting. It was interesting and the special effects were pretty good. The second Starship Troopers was built as a horror movie and it was pretty dumb with one of the worst endings ever in cinema history. This movie was more like the first, but with much less of a budget. It was interesting and the ending actually had a bit of a surprise built into it. If you've seen any of them and you have nothing better to do at the moment it's worth a rental.
That's it for this week, see you next time and don't forget the nachos. - | | |

| Around every office I've worked there has been "art" on the wall designed to add to the positive vibe or the office's esprit de corp. I've usually like most of what these posters say but as I get older I find humor in those that mock them or say the things everyone wishes they'd say. Some that I found funny...
California is the home of $50,000 Honda Accords and 'The Fast and the Furious" crowd who are all about drifting. Drop dead you posers. The only time you can lift your front wheels off the ground is when you hit a speed bump in the Target parking lot to fast and knock all of your ground effects off in the process. That and your 31, time to move out of mom & dads house.
 No
kidding, aside from the engineering marvel that a machine that size is
and its ability to tear up ANYTHING it freaking wants to, what the
hell. It looks like a piece of equipment Dr. Seuss would design or
something that just lurched out of the Cretaceous period. How big a
trench do you need for crying out loud?
Seriously, if there is a war movie involving a brave soldier carrying a flame thrower 90% of the time he's either going to blow up or accidentally incinerate the squad, neither of which give due credit to the brave guys who actually had to carry those death traps into combat.
The next two may offend so read on at your own risk...More Here... | | |

It's here, it's Wednesday, it's about dang time for...and we're doing things a little different. Instead of rating movies based on what I think the quality of the movie is from a dispassionate point of view. I am rating them simply by my own enjoyment factor. I feel good about that.
I'm really not into scary movies at all but there are two categories in this genre that I do like; vampire movies and zombie movies. When it comes to zombie movies I don't know, I don't really care for most of the older ones. You know the ones where shuffling mobs of animated corpses are all moaning "BRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNSSSS and mixing bad jokes with bad acting? This movie is the sequel to the acclaimed movie '28 Days later'. In that movie England has been over run with "Rage" zombies. Rage zombies don't shuffle, they run at you in a full sprint. This movie starts 28 weeks after the other movie ends and England is supposedly free from infestation. Uh... no.
Speaking of shuffling zombies... I was highly dissapointed by this movie. I liked 'Knocked Up' and I howled at the '40 Year Old Virgin' but these guys have created a less than movie here. Comedy can be hard I know, but male frontal nudity isn't funny, especially in the first 10 minutes. It has its moments but you really have to put up with a lot of dud jokes to get to the good moments.
I didn't remember hearing about this movie when it was at the theaters but found it when the DVD released. I enjoyed it so much I watched it again with my whole family. Starring Simon Pegg (Shaun Of The Dead, Hott Fuzz) Thandie Newton (The Pursuit of Happiness) and Hank Azaria (The Bird Cage, Mystery Men) its a story about one mans fear of commitment. Funny, touching and right on the mark, you find yourself relating to the story in a personal way; the mark of any great movie.
Yes I have seen it! Yes it is wonderful! Yes I'm ovulating!
It is most definately a chick flick and if your not a guy who likes musicals you can at least appreciate the humor that is laced through out. Based on the broadway play by the same name and built around the music of Abba what's not to like. This movie is fun and full of enegy and will be an absolute hit.
I have avoided this movie and don't ask me why. I said don't ask! Who doesn't like John Cusack? No, I haven't seen 'Say Anything', why do you ask? Anyhowsers, this is another movie about a man who has trouble with commitment, is that a theme with us or something? It is introspective and very funny. Originally released in 2000 and starring John Cusack, sister Joan, just becoming "main stream" Jack Black and Catherine Zeta Jones and with Tim Robbins as the adversary, well, I enjoyed this movie very much. That's it for this week, see you next time and don't forget the nachos. - | | |
