National Lampoon's Vacation

I would have to say I never seen this until now...
I am familiar with the characters through the Christmas one
because you have to watch the Christmas one every year it is probably the
greatest Christmas movie of all time! anyway I thought I would give the original
a watch. Not only does it feature greats like Chevy Chase, John Candy and Randy Quaid
you also see a young Eugene Levy and introducing Christie Brinkley!
the movie is pretty funny and a lot of people can relate to it with out a doubt.
Some of the things that I found funny were "The computer" at the first of the movie
as well as the dog pee sandwiches and the use of the music from Chariots of Fire.
were Clark (Chevy Chase) complains about the tent price I thought that was a good
deal for the 3 tents and the actual tent itself. Also one thing I don't get
when the aunt dies why didn't they drop her off at the hospital and leave
the contact information for the cousin "Normie" to deal with when it came
back? Also in this day and age if the park were to shut down you would know
about it before evening leaving the house. Also I can't see the entire park
shutting down for 2 weeks and especially during a peek time like the summer
which I believe this takes place being most people take their vacation during
that time. all in all it is a good movie but not a funny as I thought it would
be I think the Christmas one is funnier then this one. Also being the first movie
I thought it would answer the question of why Chevy Chase's character is nicknamed
"Sparky" but I guess not.

The Flock

I was going to watch something else but ended up watching this instead
I would have to say it was a pretty good mystery/thriller type of film
I would have to say it reminded me of other movies such as 8MM and Seven.
it is also filled with familiar faces such as Richard Gere, Claire Danes
Ray Wise and even believe it or not Avril Lavigne. yes she has a small
part in here also. I thought this was a pretty interesting film and had
some nice editing and also some very good haunting imagery as well.
I didn't know about the title I was wondering why it was called that
but you learn half way through and it made sense to me.
I was have to say it was amazingly acted especially Richard Gere
he put so much into his performance and it really shows
he did an amazing job on this and with his character.
but like I said it was a pretty good movie I don't have anything
bad to say about it.


Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

I remember going to see the original one in theaters and thinking it was awesome!
the first one is an amazing movie. The second one which was a direct to video
thing was not as good I vaguely remember it I know it had something to do with
little brain bugs or something I don't remember...
as for this I'd have to say it was pretty good the Captain Lola character
reminded me of Angelina Jolie for some reason.
and it was good to see Casper Van Dien return as Rico to kick some bug behind.
The effects were pretty good there was no problem there and I thought
the big Mechsuits near the end of the film were pretty cool. I also
like the references they made to the first movie where this was more
like the first then the second I would say. Also of course there was some nudity
in this a few nice pairs of tits and a couple of nice asses, I can't complain
on that front. Although it was pretty predictable that the "Sky Marshal" was
working with the bugs I pegged that as soon as he disappeared from the base
in that first part of the movie it wasn't hard to figure out. also that
weird romance thing with the characters Holly and bull was kind of stupid.
but all in all it was a pretty good movie if you liked the first one
you'll probably like this one also.


Johna Hex

Now personally I am familiar with the character being that I have been a comic book
person for a very long time. But at the same time I was surprised that he received
a Liva Action theatrical adaption. He was always just a guest star or supporting
character in the books I always read. He is not a top tear recognizable character
to the average movie goer unlike Superman, Batman or Spider-Man, etc.
Now personally personally I thought the trailers looked cool and thought I'd
give it a chance. True its no Iron Man or Dark Knight but I thought it was
alright. I found thought that the pacing was very quick, it didn't linger
anywhere it never felt slow it was a very fast action action packed adventure.
Yes like I said there was a lot of action, cool fights , shoot outs. The
gatling guns on the horse was some what funny.
The effects were pretty good as well. As for the portrail of Jonah Hex Josh Brolin
did an excellent job he looked like him acted like him and even talked like him.
I was very pleased with how the character was presented.
Now as for Megan Fox well people give her a lot of crap for being in stuff
or for just doing anything really but I would have to say I thought she did
rather well in this and wasn't in it as much as I thought she would be.
But like I said it was very fast paced action adventure don't go in hoping
to see something that will win best picture. but go in to a a little bit
of fun and leave the real world out side for about 2 hours.


The Karate Kid (2010)

Well this this truly concludes our Karate Kid viewing lol
I would have to say this film is very similar to the original where as a young guy with his mom move away from the only home he has ever known to a new place and has trouble fitting in and becomes the target of bullying, but soon develops a friendship with a caretaker/handyman for this new home who teaches him confidence and how to defend himself while giving him something to believe in. while at the same time the young fellow gives the elder one back what he lost..a sense of family.
I would have to say the movie was quiet excellent I found it very well done I was quite impressed. It had familiar scenes and some familiar dialogue but at the same time it seemed new and different. It even had the training montages and they didn't feel cheesy they were right on with the rest of this film. There is nothing bad I can say about it This movie has
wonderful cinematography that is sweepingly beautiful at times, The fighting scenes were greatly impressive, it had some nice humor and the music was perfect with this also it really complimented the picture. The only sad thing is there was no "Wax On, Wax Off" lol



Labyrinth (1986)

David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly? Hells Yeah!
With this one I haven't seen it in years but it was a nice trip back to my youth
simply put this movie is still truly amazing. Its a fantasy tale in its truest purest form
its imaginative, funny, exciting. The music, The Effects and the puppetry all comes together in a seamless package. Jim Henson is a true genius and it comes through in spades in this film.
Its a shame it was taken far to soon. The world could use his creativity and imagination now more then ever. Also you can notice the subtle references to things like Wizard of OZ and Snow White as well as others but in the end this movie is perfect you can't say anything bad about it at all. It one of those movies that you loved as a kid and can't wait to have kids so you can share it with them.
The only question that comes to mind is who would win in a fight Sir Didymus (the little dog character) or Puss in boots from Shrek?


Edge Of Darkness

Staring Crazy Mel..! I would have to say this was a great revenge/Mystery Thriller. There wasn't alot of action it seemed very methodical like there was a slow pace to the story but in a way there it was interesting to watch him figure it out and you go along and enjoy the clues here and there, now with that being said there was some action and when there was you would least expect it and it would come fast and hard. especially the scene when the one was getting out of the car and she gets hit. One part made me some what chuckle is the puking scene near the first of the movie I didn't really need to see that while at the same time I myself was eating dinner. As for the movie it was very good I did enjoy it myself I thought it was nicely shot and well acted. The performances came off and very genuine in my opinion. The character who is the head of the Northmoor company you can tell he is slimy from the get go and the spooky English guy who knows everything that is going on kind of reminds me of something you would seen in the X-Files. Also it had a nice ending which i was pretty pleased with so all around this was a very good enjoyable movie.


Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen

Wow..that wasn't that good, I mean it was alright after the scene where they were at the police station but everything before that was kind of awful.. I mean the writing seemed atrocious I felt sorry they had to deliver such bad lines of dialogue.. also I thought this was a Hillary Duff movie
not a Lindsay Lohan one I would have to say I am surprised. I found the over all story pretty weak which is surprising being that it is biased on a book so I feel sorry for the author of it and well as far as I can say the only benefit in this movie is that is has Megan Fox in it. and that is saying a lot right there. although the drama teacher seemed crazy which was mild interesting to watch her flip out.
