Armored Review

I watched the star packed movie Armored earlier tonight. I must say, I was quite disappointed in this movie. I think I would of been more upset to have spent $20+ at the movie theaters as it would of been myself and my girlfriend Jordan at least there. I recommend only renting this one.

Basically what you see, is what you get. If you have seen the trailer, you know what the movie is about so do not expect more than that. There was no crazy twist or turn here in this movie which possibly may of made it even better. I will also point out it was a very short movie, only an 1 hour and 22 minutes long.

So the movie has pretty much every known awesome actor today right? Consisting of Columbus Short1, Matt Dillon, Laurence Fishburne2, Jean Reno3, Amaury Nolasco4, Milo Ventimiglia5, Skeet Ulrich6 and Fred Ward.

I think I would of enjoyed a different plot then what was shown in the movie. You could maybe split up the actors all working at the Armored Truck Service and have one half trying (bad) trying to steal the truck. Then the other half trying prevent the armored truck(s) from being stolen without any outside assistance and then go from there.

Anyways, that is not how the movie was or ever will be. It seemed as if some of the actors, especially Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno ad Skeet Ulrich really enjoyed bitching a lot in this movie and acting very pussy like. Even if they are just armored guards, I expected more out of such great actors. Unless they were playing these characters like such because they figured they finally realized they signed onto a terrible project and wanted to get it over with.

Pixar grants girl’s dying wish to see ‘Up’

Pixar granted Colby Curtin her dying wish to see the movie ‘Up’. The company flew an employee with a DVD of Up, which is only in theaters, to the Curtins’ Huntington Beach home on June 10 for a private viewing of the movie. Colby died about seven hours after seeing the film.

It is good to know that good people still exist out there and even more so from companies like Pixar. More companies should take notice and get more into dying wishes. I know some do but it needs to be done more. It honestly can not really hurt them much what so ever. Seeing how it is a dying wish for someone especially when it is not there fault and a victim of cancer, a rare one at that.

This is a very sad story and to end it, Rest in Peace Colby Curtin. I am glad you got to see Up, that your wish was granted and enjoyed a great movie as I saw it with my girlfriend Jordan and thought it was.

Fallout Movie or TV show in the works?

Fallout may soon be making the big screen jump. Bethesda Softworks, the company behind the most recent Fallout game, Fallout 3 has registered a trademark, claiming the Fallout name for “entertainment services in the nature of an on-going television program” and in another filing, securing the trademark for “motion picture films about a post-nuclear apocalyptic world.”

I hope either or comes true. Fallout is such a great game, especially with all the new DLC content and next one coming out May 5th as well as Fallout New Vegas being announced the other day that will not be a sequel but still be in the same era.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Last night I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop with my sister and younger brother. Go see this movie!

It is absolutely hilarious. Now given I already think Kevin James is awesome and hilarious and would watch him anyways, I still think it is absolutely funny to see and well worth the money spent.

Especially since now a days you could easily see all the funny parts in the trailer, they ruin it but not in this case at all. Also the fact that movies you see now a days are not as funny as you would hope, that does not apply here either.

Henry Poole Is Here

Watched this movie last night with my friend. Wow, such a great movie is all I have to say, sad though too but great ending. Honestly to me, this is one of those many movies out there that you should at least see once in your life. My friend said she liked it as well.
Luke Wilson just once again proves to me that he is an incredible actor. This movie should definitely get nominated for an oscar. Radha Mitchell also plays amazing in this movie, loved her in Man on Fire and many other movies she has been in. Their acting and moments together are incredible.
I would really recommend watching this movie whenever you get a chance too.

Babylon A.D.

Last night I watched this movie with a friend of mine. Her thoughts first on this movie was that it was just alright though she obviously did like Vin Diesel in the shower scene, heh.
I think this movie could of been so much better. So I would have to say it was just alright too. It was not an absolute terrible movie though. There are for sure so many better movies that have already come out this year or coming out before you should sit down and see this one unless you are interested. That does not mean do not ever see this movie though. It had a lot of awesome scenes and what not. Vin Diesel is awesome, I am a fan. The movie seemed long but it was really short (1 hour and 22 minutes).
It is hard to say if it was a little long if it would of been better. They would of had to have done more to the story which I think was needed. I would have to say I give the movie 3 out of 5 stars. At most, it would be 3 1/2 but no more than that.

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.
