Hot Tub Time Machine.

I remember seeing this advertised and thinking it would be funny and I did want to see it but did get the chance. Its not the funnest movie of the year but it did make me laugh If I had to describe it I would say it is a cross between Back To The Future and The Hangover. there are a lot of good references to other "Time Travel" movies and a lot of I would say nods to Back To The Future. but like I said it was pretty funny and I thought the acting was good and the writing was excellent. There even was some nice female nudity but sadly some male stuff also and what was up with the guy in the bear suit? anyway it his is a great fun movie I really did enjoy it.


Spawn


I remember going to see this opening night at the theater. I wasn't a Spawn fan in the 90s like everyone else I wasn't really interested in the books or anything related to it. I was reading what I considered more interesting ones. I ended going to see this becasue I went with a friend was was big into Spawn at the time. I'd have to say its not a bad movie, I find it is in a lot of ways similar to the Tim Burton 1989 Batman. The production design is good, the make-up and visual effects are very good especially the visual effects that are very good for the time the movie was made especially in regards to the Violator creature and the Spawn Cape effect the animation is very smooth and perfect. Martin Sheen as Jason Wynn is kind of funny though. After this was released I heard plenty of talk about a Spawn 2 but that apparently never came to pass but even though I wasn't a fan of the character I thought the movie was moderately good, I can't say anything really bad about it.

The Karate Kid (1984)

I remember seeing this along time ago probably the end of the 80s early 90s and being that the remake is coming out soon and looks really good I wanted to give it another watch this is I think only the second time I have seen this movie. I would have to say that the movie it self is almost perfect, it truly is a beautiful film one built on a friendship of two strangers that truly need each other. It is a perfect example of an "80s movie" with a nice sound track and music montages.
the story is fun and keeps you interested and has dug itself into the hearts and minds of people all over the world and brought the terms "sweep the leg" and "wax on, wax off" to the pop culture conciseness and is truly a classic story and I hope the new one is just as good
I couldn't think of anyone better then Jackie Chan for the role of the Mr.Miyagi type character. but like I said this movie is almost perfect.

Dark Island

This wasn't that bad...it was alright. The acting could have used a bit of work and its not really big on effects but when it does use some the effects and animation itself is very good. There were some nice fight scenes as well as some very nice cinematography with beautiful shots of the locations. While moving through the woods you do get the feeling that the characters are being watched from outside force. Alot of whats in here reminds me of other things I seen and Also there is some back story told in various flashbacks.
like I said its an alright movie its not the best but its a good way to kill a couple of hours.


Stripped Naked

Well like I said on other films With a name like "Stripped Naked" it was just begging to be watched!
Now I have to say I was quite surprised with this one I actually thought it was very good. Well acted, nicely shot and seemed to be well written. Also there is very little nudity in a film that features a strip club and quite a few strippers, I'm not saying that was a bad thing I'm just saying it was different then what I would expect. The only problem I seemed to have was at times the picture seemed to slip in and out of focus it wasn't by any great degree but you do notice it when stuff starts to become a bit blurry but it is fixed quickly until it happened again but it doesn't really ruin the enjoyment of the movie itself. The ending itself was kind of sad being the character of Cassie did all that for nothing. all in all this was a pretty good movie I would have to say I liked it.


Killer Bitch

ok..? I don't know what to say about this one it was pretty off the wall and didn't make much sense at times but with a title like "Killer Bitch" it just begs to be watched. Its had a good start but then when down after that. I have to say the acting was quite terrible and the writing wasn't that better either... and speaking of writing I can't understand what they were saying at times I don't speak British slang. I was like what the hell are they talking about?? its like a whole conversation that sounds like gibberish. there were some scenes that made me laugh they were so crazy that you had to also there seemed to be some continuity errors that are very noticeable plus the editing was a bit wonky at times. Now wit hall that said it did had some good parts there was a lot of nice looking nude women running around in this I have no complaint about that and the music for this was very good also and this movie boasts a topless midget in this also which was different anyway I don't think this movie would classify as a good movie but I don't think it was a bad one either so it won't be rated, although I wouldn't recommend it to anyone
