Eve's Bayou

 

Directed by Kasi Lemmons

Saw this on cable TV old school style..

It was pretty cool.. I liked seeing a movie that was based in the dirty south its worth checking out, but its no Pulp Fiction

The Amazing Spider-Man New

 

 Directed by Marc Webb

Funny this guy's last name is webb - You might know him for doing (500) Days of Summer

I saw it IMAX 3D bitches (duh) and if you don't - you are blowing it.

I am also proud to say my homie Michael Barra had a cameo in this flick as the Store Clerk (the only dude in the movie to punk spiderman's ass without catching as ass-whooping!

This movie was awesome and way better than the original - go see it today goddamnit

Battle Royale 2

Directed by Kenta Fukasaku and Kinji Fukasaku

Whoaaaaaaaaa

First of all - had to do some research after watching this because I was atonished that it was such a giant FLOP

This is what I learned - Kenta is Kinji's son and Kinji (who directed the 'Battle Royale') DIED (MAY GOD REST HIS SOUL) he died after filming only one scene for the movie, and then his son took over afterwards.

That particular situation is quite a story in itself really (inception style) but the end result was not quite as hollywood and fantastical as a movie about the making of that movie could be (follow me?) meaning - Battle Royale 2 was absolutely terrible. However, if one were to make a movie about the story of Kenta, I'm sure it would end with him directing an amazing film in the name of his pops.

The film was not another class of students going to an island to kill each other - instead a new class of students was going to an island to fight a rebel force that is being led by the survivor from Battle Royale one......... It was a horrible attempt at an epic war film. At first I was thinking - damn, some people can't make epic war films quite like the U.S. .. but perhaps the crappy scenes are more a result of a first time director.

If you are a true fan of Battle Royale - idk how you haven't seen the sequel yet - if you just 'saw it an liked ' then don't bother watching the sequel because it's pretty crappy (i guess unless you are looking to see a crappy film so you can laugh at it)

The Dictator

Directed by Larry Charles

I saw this one via a bootleg version (my bad)

It was pretty damn hilarious - probably my favorite movie he has done yet.

I am glad I didn't pay $15 to see it in theaters though..

check it out when it comes out on dvd - it's funny as fuck

Battle Royale

Directed by Kinji Fukasaku

You shouldn't even have to read my review to know that Alex Choonoo would tell you to watch this fuckin' movie - enough said.

it was epic (you can see it on Netflix, and you are doing yourself dirty if you haven't seen it yet)

This movie is what I was hoping to see when I went into the theater to watch Hunger Games. Although - there are some things in Hunger Games that I really did like, that was not present in Battle Royale.. My number one example is the fact that people were watching this event on TV in the Hunger Games. I really liked that about the Hunger Games, and in Battle Royale - no one is watching what they are doing except for the teacher and his soldiers. I think if Battle Royale was combined with the Hunger Games that would have made for one fucking good movie.

Loved the violence, loved the corny ass scenes in between, loved the flash backs, loved the end - I loved this movie god damnit...

No word of a lie - I think I am going to go watch it after publishing this post.

peace

Bartleby

Directed by Jonathan Parker

I'D PREFER NOT TO DO A REVIEW ABOUT THIS MOVIE

haha - this movie was kind of funny.. I would put it on when you are in front of the TV and you got other shit to do but you'd rather have a movie playing on the TV instead of a TV show.

Although this film was made in 2001, it seems like an 80's movie or something - I like that they did it that way. AND I really liked the ending - it was funny.

Put this on if your bored and intoxicated and enjoy it for what its worth. I may be one too many beers deep to elaborate right now - but I think you get the point.

( i was a bit shocked that this movie made no money )

12 Monkeys Trailer

Directed by Terry Gilliam

Awesome - damn that's three movies in a row bitches!

This is another one you should see and its on Netflix so you got no excuses. I was happy with the end - i won't say why - but it was not what I started to expect.

Makes you think a little.

Drive

Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn (director of Bronson)

Fuckin awesome. I loved this movie, and I have nothing more to say except (note to self):

Why all the wide shots?

watch it bitches, its on netflix.

Prometheus

Directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Hannibal, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven - just to name the one I've seen, but there are about 20 more)

Haldukken! bitches - go see it while its still in theaters

I saw it pourin' whiskey in cola with fam and tree'd up in oregon (literally hi on some trees); and I saw it 3D (but I will never tell you why, mua hahaha)

It was awesome - there were some corn-ball type moments (like when the guy is baby talking the alien) - but I kind of liked how this seemed to be 'by-the-books' in the sense that writing reminded me of older classic thrillers. I was also thankful they did not go too deep into the 'handy-cam' style of filming.

I noticed a lot of Stanley Kubrick shout outs - hollaaa

I will drop one spoiler - the movie was not exactly about how the alien from 'Aliens' came to be - in other words it was not about the fact that it was a prequel 'Aliens' ... it was much more about religion VS science and dropping philosophical seeds for your brains. Never fear - it wasn't preachy (I didn't think so anyways) - and you get to see some cool shit.

Lastley - I wouldn't waste your money on the 3D... but keep in mind, I wasn't fit to drive, maybe that has similar effects on 3D glasses. It is Ridley Scott after all - might be worth it to pay the extra dollar to keep that dude in the game!
