House Party (1990)

Directed by Reginald Hudlin

HILARIOUS

My favorite part was every time I expected one thing to happen - something else happened instead.

For example, when Kid is runnin away from the thugs and he hops a fence - I was thinkin, there is gonna be a massive dog there waiting for him - instead he became a witness to a fat bastard making love to some woman. I was dying laughing.

It has corny things goin on time to time that you would expect in a movie where the plot is - kid has to party - but it was never as corny as american pie.

watch it.

CHRONICLE

Directed by Josh Trank

Saw it in theaters - it was pretty awesome.

I'm starting to become obsessed with super powers, so this movie was kind of right up my alley.

I liked the format/genre they shot (where everything is supposed to be real, like they filmed the whole thing) but the fact that they shot that way definitely shit on anyone else who wants to do that format (if you ask me) because this movie clearly had a nice budget, and I think that format was invented as a loop hole around NOT having a budget.... I guess us people who don't have money are gonna' have to figure out a new way to make a no budget movie.

Anyways I noticed there was hardly any score in this film - I thought that was pretty interesting and cool that they could pull that off.

the special effects were dope, the story was real dope.

I say see this movie, but wait 'till it comes onto DVD and go see Spielberg's 'Warhorse ' in Theaters instead (that way hopefully the movie won't make as much in theaters and someone can tell the producers - should have not shot it that way dude) mua hahahaha - otherwise that kid discovered that 'the character's shot this movie by themselves' format is the new thing.

LOVE THIS SHOW

They 'style' the image in post hard body it seems like - have some weird thing join on with focus, but it's cool.

The characters and the premise is awesome. They are (i think) in their 20s and not sure what to do with themselves, then they get super powers and don't know how they work exactly.

I like it a lot for two reasons:

1. Some of the super powers are really random. I think that is cool because then it becomes harder for some of them to know what to even do with their power.

2. The super powers don't always work. When the show starts off - they don't really have control over their powers - shit just happens (not for all of course) one girl can use her power anytime she wants, but it is cool to see how they deal with their power and try to learn how to use it better.

I also like that there are all these other random people walking around who also have powers - it makes for cool encounters in different episodes.

I saw Seasons One and Two - but they flopped the end of Season Two pretty hard I think.

SPOILER: (click the back button fast ! watch the show - and come back)

Season Two ends with the kids finding someone who can take their power from them. Since they aren't very skilled at using their powers - they decide to sell their powers to this guy to make some money. I thought that was straight up retarded, especially since the episode right before the Last episode - everyone would have died if the guy that rewinds time did not have his power !

Anyways - season 3 starts off with them going back to probation (like season One) and the loud obnoxious character is replaced with a new loud obnoxious character - I couldn't find any info about what is going on (i didn't look much further past wikipedia tho) - I am assuming that they had to or wanted to get rid of one of the actors, and have him replaced of course. ALSO they probably weren't making the money they thought they would be (or they are greedy fucks and want to make more) and so they came up with some excuse to keep the characters in the same location for the following season.

You can see it on Hulu - I would actually recommend this show over 'Being Human' because it is more funny. Being Human (as you may have guessed from the title) is kind of about life and relationships - where as Misfits is more about dumb young kids having fun, rather than getting too deep.

Being Human

Created by Toby Whithouse

I just finished Season One of this show - although I didn't watch the first episode.

I walked in on episode two and someone explained to me that these people (a vampire, werewolf, and ghost) all live together in England.

I thought it was a pretty cool premise - and after watching one, you know I had to watch the next one.

I got nothing too much to say - The CG is minimal enough to not turn me off from the show. The stories and episodes are good - entertaining. There is some good acting, and production value.

There are times when the editing irks me - usually when there are an abundance of cuts - but I guess that makes good TV right?

Its on Netflix - check it out, it's better than some other shows I've seen join around
