Clash of the Titans 2010

I have always been a fan of the original movie, I have it on DVD and would have to say it is
one of my favorites it is always a great movie to watch any time. So I was a little
curious when i heard that they were planing a remake of this timeless film.
At the first view of the trailer I was hooked and had to see it so I did I went out and
watched it on the big screen a few days ago I didn't see it in 3D being many people said the
3D wasn't that good so I went for the regular 2D thing and I would have to say I wasn't
disappointed at all the film itself was very impressive it. its pretty high on the wow effect
I would have to say it was amazing awesome it had some nice story elements, brilliant action
a touch of humor even a joke involving the Mechanical Owl from the original one that made me
laugh. like I said it was heavy on the wow the effects were I'd say seamless and
breathtaking especially in the big moments like the rise of the Kraken and the battle with
Medusa which was very good I was kind of worried about the Medusa scene being the the
original was so well done I just didn't want them to ruin it but it was perfect she is much
more fast and agile in this version then the original. even the music was great especially
during the Scorpion battle it came of very bombastic and heightens the battle it fits in a
movie like this. but I loved most everything about this movie especially the design of
Olympus and the Gods and think Liam Neeson made a great Zeus similar in a way that Morgan
Freeman made a great God. The only to things that really didn't like is the depiction of
Hades he was cool and menacing when he was doing stuff but when he is just standing around
and talking to people he looses that edge, I would have to say I did prefer the Hades in
Percy Jackson better then the one in this. Also I was kinda of saddened that there was no
mention of Ray Harryhausen on this I sat through the whole credits to see if he was mentioned
in the "special thanks" or even at the end if it would say it was "dedicated to the memory
of" but nothing I know I would have put his name in there somewhere but I guess that is just
me but in the end It was a fun quest filled with lots of excitement.


Ninja Assassin

From the people who brought you The Matrix comes Ninja Assassin!! (not much of a stretch is
it lol)
I wanted to see this for a while and the trailers for it looked very interesting so I finally
hand the chance and I must say whole crap that was one crazy movie! it had alot of nice
quick action and cool stunts but I'd have to say that it was quite gory, more gory then I
thought it would be I mean you will be thinking "wow, that's alot of blood!" but oddly its
funny at the same time
the effects were pretty good also especially in the opening sequence when the guys get their
heads and stuff cut off that was rather impressive. As for story it pretty classic the
"star student" rebels against the clan and its leader for something the leader did and with
the help of a government agent he has a dramatic show down with this one time Master.
it is quite and enjoyable watch if you can stand all the gore. a thrilling, action packed
sword swinging extravaganza!


Logan's Run

I wanted to see this for a great while people talk about, reference it, I even heard Bryan
Synger wants to do a remake of it being its one of his favorite movies or something to that
effect.
I never gotten a chance to see it until I was reminded to the other day. Now the movie is
truly "futuristic" by early to mid 70s standards the effects in this "pre-Star Wars" time are
kinda funny any wide exterior short of the city is of course you can clearly tell its done
with models and miniatures it looks almost like an elaborate train set. the guns the cops
or "sandmen" have are odd they pull the trigger and some smokey green squibs go off in the
distance. Also the whole "Carousel" scene at the beginning was just plain weird, I was all
WTF?? and there is quite a bit of overlay and composting work that makes it look kinda funny
also there is also a surprising bit of nudity in this also that I didn't expect. Also the
robot in it was very lols worthy he was all Lost in Space-ish. The one thing I think I
don't understand was why was it 30 years old? I don't think 30 is old 40 you have
probably be a better number. I did like the one who played Jessica she was very attractive
and I liked the Old Man also he was quite funny. during and after watching this It reminded
me of the movie that came out a few years ago called "The Island" by Michael Bay it I
thought shared a lot with that film. All in all I thought it was pretty good I didn't think
it was as good as people say it is but it wasn't bad by any means just a bit weird at parts.



The End of America

"Everything that has a beginning has an end."

This was a very interesting, thought provoking and well put together film.
it is a bit different being most doc you see are done by men where this one is done by a
woman she is a great speaker has an excellent voice and a nice passion as she talks.
It starts off kinda fluffy but then gets serious quickly and is serious through out then is a
bit fluffy again at the end. some parts were rather scary and rather odd where think "how
can people get away with this" happily there is no mention of Shadow Government, thought
police, moloch the owl or any of the other wacky things that plague these types of thing
this is a serious Documentary by a serious Journalist and is a good and engaging watch and

always remember one thing:
"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their
people."


Whip It

I remember this being advertised and thinking it was kinda interesting looking and recently I
was in a internet argument with someone and it involved this I don't remember how it involved
it but it did so I wanted to give this one a watch.
The story is pretty standard and a bit predictable
1.girl from small town is not happy in her life has low self confidence and self esteem
2.she then goes on and finds something that she loves and is good at it gives her high self
confidence and self esteem
3. she is happy and enjoying her life but is threaten by a rival in her new passion
4. Everything unravels and she is back to step 1
5. Loving parent figure steps in tells her basically follow your dreams/heart and she goes
back to what makes her happy and finds that true strength comes from with in with a little
help of your friends complete with happy ending.
Now with that said that doesn't mean it was your typical chick flick it was actually very
good it was the way that it went along that I think made it good, there was plenty of nice
scenes and some great dialog in there. It has that quirky humor that you have to pay
attention to or you will miss it. The acting as well was very good especially from Ellen
Page of course (who is from the same place I am) but there was no surprise there as well as
all the other skaters and rest of the cast as well as the direction by Drew Barrymore all in
all this was a very good movie it was funny with some rough and tumble scenes and has the
"Chick Flick" formula but doesn't come off as one so I enjoyed it.


Camp FEMA: American Lockdown.

The Government is coming to get you, your friends, your family and your little dog too!
this was a pretty good one it had amazing background music and the narrator had a good
voice for it also. Also this Doc featured one of my favorite people Alex Jones
he makes me laugh. so in this apparently Obama is Hitler and there will be
"thought police" in the near future similar to that is seen in Minority Report.
who will come and arrest you for even thinking of committing a crime or
thinking anything bad about those "in power"
I don't know what to think of the "camps" in the film maybe what they say
is true maybe not it is hard to tell sometimes when ones like there anyway I'm just happy
that I am not an American
