Max Payne Rating

I hope that the new rating change from R to PG-13 does not ruin the new Max Payne movie coming out on October 17th, 2008. I better not hear footage was taken out to get this PG-13 and that it was just a “change of heart” and that they rated it too hard.

UPDATE SEPT 30, 08: Director John Moore has said this. “We trimmed some frames more for the sake of trimming frames than anything, but we got the rating without any major changes at all. I’m a little surprised that we changed their minds, effectively, but I’m happy about it. It proves that if you stick to your guns and you have the creative… that you can get the right thing done.”

Moore also mentioned that a version of the movie will be released on DVD that will be meant for fans of the game itself, featuring a slower story and more atmosphere. The “Gamer Dedicated Cut” of the movie will also feature some “rougher” content, so fans have more to look forward to after the movie hits theaters. Source for this: ars technica

Traitor Short Review

Yesterday I saw the movie Traitor with my date Jordan. Which on a side note, went absolutely great. :)
The movie stars Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Saïd Taghmaoui, Neal McDonough and a few other actors you may of seen in other movies as well such as Jeff Daniels. You can watch the trailer here.
I thought it was a good movie. I would not say it was absolutely great because there are many other movies I have seen this year that I would say were better. But I will go ahead and recommend seeing this movie. I did not think it was terrible what so ever, either.
I do not want to spoil any parts of the movie, so really watch the trailer and decide to go see it or not. Not my typical “review” but can not think of anything really to say at the moment then what I have said above plus I am in too good a mood to think.

The Promotion Review

I did not hear about this movie until recently. I guess it was released, probably limited, in theaters on April 26 this year. It just came out today on DVD and I got a chance to grab it. Not only is this movie hilarious, I loved it.

Now if it wasn’t just for Jenna Fischer! (The Office, oh so hot) Sean William Scott and one of the most hilarious actors right now, John C. Reilly. I could not see this movie being that good. It has a few other actors in the movie that you have seen in other movies, though they are all small roles they do play a part in making the movie even funnier. Don’t get me wrong, I do think Sean William Scott is a good actor and is funny too but not as funny as Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, especially when they are together (Step Brothers! and Talladega Nights!)

I really recommend either renting this movie, buying it or any other means of acquiring it. I really enjoy it myself and I think others will too.

Step Brothers

Absolutely hilarious! Love every minute of it. I don’t know why we have not seen more of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly together over the past for years. They are a great team together.

I recommend seeing this movie especially if you love comedy movies.

Watch the trailer here if you live in a cave: Step Brothers Trailer.

The Dark Knight

I saw it earlier this morning with a bunch of friends (Thursday Night Showing). We got there early but not too early. So we got some pretty fucking terrible seats up front. Need to go see a chiropractor now.

Anyways, the movie was absolutely bad ass. An absolute must see. I can’t say if it beats Iron Man or not so I’m not going to bother deciding because BOTH are great fucking movies.

There is really nothing I hated about this movie that I can even thing of. Which is rare to see now a days I think nor was it too short. Though I can at least say that Batman’s Lair was not as cool as before. Too high tech maybe and the location? Maybe just me. Doesn’t matter.

The action and fight scenes were incredible. Well done. I don’t think the movie was too long either, I am sure others will think it is. But I thought not. There is no point where the movie drags alone leaving people to think they could of cut it out to make it shorter or anything like that. So go see and enjoy the movie. I actually enjoyed its length now because of it being such a great movie and I like longer movies as long as they are that.

To not spoil the movie here, don’t worry. Someone will be introduced. When that happened (near the end of the movie) I was surprised I was the only one in the theatre (no joke) to have released who it was and called it out. Not till a bit later after that scene, to those not familiar or that didn’t catch it, is his name revealed.

You can barely, BARELY tell that Heath Ledger in this movie is The Joker. You would never tell if you did not know going into it that he played him. His voice is so different and obviously he wears makeup. Hard to tell its him during the movie except maybe his hair but you could never if you didn’t know it was him.

I am disappointed though that we won’t get to see Heath Ledger as the Joker again or as an actor. I was never on the bandwagon for him to deserve an Oscar rather he played the part good or not. But I absolutely think after watching him play, that he deserves an Oscar after such a great performance. In my opinion, he kills the part over Jack Nicholson. I have not spoken to many people yet but some agreed he did too. Let it be known that Jack Nicholson was an awesome Joker and actor too. So for me to say that I truly thought he played better.

The Incredible Hulk

So I saw The Incredible Hulk that just came out. It was pretty good, definitely better than The Hulk they made a few years ago and Edward Norton is just an outstanding actor. It was NOT better than Iron Man, then again I did NOT expect it to be because Iron Man is just so much cooler. The ending, is even better, I will not spoil it for you, but the ending scene I thought was extremely badass. You’ll see if you decide to watch it. Like I said, pretty good movie, they did a great job on it. I liked it and recommend seeing it.
