Juno review BONUS Dark City, plus bought a few more

Juno (Single-Disc Edition)

I watched the infinite Juno last night. It is a good movie. I would not buy it but my wife would. The main thing that I have to complain about is the chick in this movie. She get gets on my nerves. I could not stand her in Hard Candy, not at all. I saw her on Saturday night Live and I could barely take it. So I was not real excited when I found out she was in it. Well in this movie she was the same as in Saturday night live. She is this wannabe witty, yet obnoxious kid. In Hard Candy she wanted to be this twisted girl who gets revenge on a perv, she was doo doo in that movie and very annoying. So in general she is ultra annoying and always overacts. Juno is the role this girl is going to thrive in, at first, but she has more potential than this. To start with the movie, there are some very good characters in this movie. Junos parents were my favorite, both are just amazing and were really funny. Junos girlfriend is pretty good also, her boyfriend plays the only role is is able to, a shy goofy nerd, but it works well. Then there are a couple that I will not go into but they are great as well. So we are off to a good start. So this 16 year old gets knocked up. She has a few decisions to make hear, she knows she is not ready for this. So it is about her decision and the impact it has on everybody involved. I dont want to tell you anything because thats how I saw it plus it is a great way to watch a good movie. It is much better than I expected it to be and I have gained a bit more respect for the main star. I have seen the role that she really is good at, and that shows toward the end. Good movie, like Little Miss Sunshine.

Dark City (New Line Platinum Series)

I like this movie no matter how many times I watch it. This is a dark strange movie. My favorite type. It has a great plot and really cool characters. The best thing about this movie is that it takes a great plot and adds it to a incredible world of amazing imagination. This cool plot that I am talking about has many parts. One is serious and realistic and its focus is real. The focus there actually has its own plot that screws with your head. It screws with your head because of another plot that is just not realistic but is ultra unique and very well done. It is one of the best kept secrets out in the movie world and is cheap to pick up. You can get it for just over the cost to rent it. It is completely non hollywood and very entertaining in a beautiful looking and strange way. Dont know what to tell you except if you like comics or oddworlds an a out there imagination you will more than likely dig this. One little twist I will give you, serial killer.

Idiocracy movie review, BONUS Eraserhead

Idiocracy

You have got to click on the movie and check out the ratings for this one. It has a high rating but this is one of the absolute worst movies ever. Thats all I can say. It was sooooo corney, wackt and every other word that fits horrible. Read what other people say about it because I had a hard time even getting to the end of this one.

Eraserhead

Best work from this man for sure. Blue Velvet is a good one too but this is on another level. This is a black and white movie that is better than so many colored movie. It is ultra strange and if that is what you like this is for you. I cant stress how insanely odd this one is. So little parts of this one I will hint you on. A strange man finds a woman has a kid. The inbetween parts of all of this are so weird from the relationship of her parents to the one neighbor he has, the child and the environment and the, get this, lady in the radiator. click the movie to get more out of it but I would not. I would buy this one and be so surprised. Or rent it to make sure it is weird enough for you.

I know this doesn't say much of anything about either movie. One is too stupid and the other one is absolutely bizzare.

Wrist Cutters movie review, Bonus The Game, my favorite of all time

Wristcutters - A Love Story

A love story. This is something my wife decided to rent. I was pretty surprised. It reminded me of beetlejuice in a way. It is about a kid who is super depressed over losing his girlfriend that he kills himself. So he wakes up in a world that is nothing but suicides. A lot of good looking chicks kill themselves by the way. So he is stuck in this world that is full of nothing worth living for. So he bums around with this guy until they meet this girl that wants to find the people in charge because there was a mistake, she did not kill herself. So they start to travel together and on one of the stops the kid finds out that the girl he killed himself over did the same because of him. So now he has something worth "living" for and go to find her. It is a pretty underground type of movie and is worth the watch. If you like different movies. So I would check it out if you can.

The Game

This is my favorite movie of all time. The reason I like this so much is because it is a perfect, I mean perfect mind ****. It is just such a good plot and plays out very well. Every turn it take will leave you thinking what the hell, what next, no way. It is about this super up tight white dude, total stereotype and perfectly done, that is having a birthday. The deal is this birthday is the anniversary of the day his father kill himself, he will now be the same age. His wackt out brother gives him the ultimate birthday present, a game. So I will not go anymore into this movie it is up to you to watch it and it is so good I refuse to spoil anymore than I allready have. It is a spiral to insanity and perfectly carried out.

30 Days of Night movie review, BONUS Brazil

30 Days of Night

I have a feeling there will be a lot of people getting upset with my opinions on these movies. This movie is wackt. There are 2 good things about this movie. The first is the way these vampires look, they have this creepy distorted look to them. They are not the mystical type but human, and the speed they move and attack is sweet. Really good. The second it the greatest villian in movies today. I dont know his name but he is the wanna be vampire. Otherwise it is so lame. The characters are all pretty bad and they tend to overact. The time frame of the events of those thirty days are not put forth very well it seems more like it is a 2 or 3 day event. In all it is pretty generic. It was not scary but what hollywood flick is? This is not a movie you will get involved in, the circumstances through out the movie are very bland but for the horror flick fans you will get your kicks off with the killing, its pretty mean stuff at least on the side of the humans.

Brazil

So instead of wasting your time with 30 days of night try this. Brazil, from the makes of 12 Monkeys. Brazil is a wild ride into the future. If you are anti big government type you will have a good time with this one. I say this because there is so much bureaucracy in this movie you could suffocate. It mocks it. So to the movie, how should I explain this one. It is straight weird. The main character is a man who is great at his job really he is the only one that can get through the paperwork to get the job done. He finds a mistake that has caused a bit of a problem for one person and in his attempt to clear it up he is mistaken to be the same type of problem. He runs into the origional person the paperwork was about who comes to his rescue to "illegaly" fix a problem the government is supposed too. He is a heating and cooling maintenance man. At the same time he is chasing down the woman he sees in his dreams, trying to right the mistake made to the poor man in the beginning. While going through all of this his mother who knows people in high places want to move him up in the world by getting him promoted. It sound wierd I know, the movie is bizarre and absolutely fun. There is terrorism and bombings, big government nightmares, crazy dreams and loads of crazy people in this movie to keep you thinking "what the hell is going on in this world". If you like Transformers you might not like this one.

Transformer movie fails, BONUS City of Lost Children

TransformersTransformer movie fails hard.

Look if you are a fanboy and you like this movie you lose. This movie got me so pumped up but it totally fails to bring transformers to life. I grew up on transformers AND GOBOTS. This movie ate up all of the transformers and spit them out. One of the best parts of transformers is the sound they make when they transform, what happened? They way they transform, it takes 10 minuites to fully transform and they move in totally awkward ways. Look the origional transformers tramsformer quick and visually it was amazing. These new ones are so complex you cant tell what is what. It is so boring to look at a bunch of mumbo jumbo transformation and un recognizible robots. Also the movie star aspect ot bumble bee. They killed him. First he is not a bumble bee he is a muscle car, a beat up one. Then to make him look glamorous he does some cool stunt and a good make up job after he is dissed for being ugly, by a smoking hot chick. Stupid crap. They puked up a stupid soundblaster which was one of the coolest transformers and turned him into a little ferret. The tapes were little not the radio, he was a bad @$$ beast not a little rat. Besides he gets his @$$ kicked by a smoking hot chick with a saws-all. All of this while the other robots dont get touched by military fire. There are only a few moments where you are like "hell yeah" But for the most part you gag. The characters are terrible. There are so many terrible actors and characters. The movie sucks @$$.

GO GOBOTS the origional robot in disguise. they dont touch the transformers though.

The City of Lost Children

This is a french flick. It is a dark kids movie that is not for kids. The concept to the movie is kids are bieng kidnapped by the cyclops, not actually a cyclops, by these weird dudes that have been given sight by a crazy cult and have sensitive hearing. It all starts when the boss of the strong man at the carnival is killed when trying to stop the local little kid theives that pick pocket the crowds for the octopuss, not a octopuss. As he does this his little brother gets kidnapped. So he needs to get him back. This is how it starts but then it just gets wierder and wierder. Another big part in the flick is a mad doctor that buys these kids of the cult that is the black market. He uses these kids to do weird experiments to get something from their dreams the doctor is unable to have. I really cant tell you much because the story is just so cool I dont want to spoil it. The doctors also has a brain in a tank that talks through a speaker and is very intelligent, watch to figure out what this is all about. There is still more to put into this little preview but I wont because if you like strange dark fun stuff you will fall in love with this movie.

3:10 To Yuma, movie review, bonus Suicide Club

3:10 to Yuma (Widescreen Edition)

This movie is awesome. I would have never rented this because westerns bore me. Ones that I like are Tombstone, Doc Holiday rules, Wild West, just cool as hell. This movie is about this bad @$$ gang that kick lots of @$$, and a family man that Obama and Hillary would say needs afforidible healthcare. The family man is struggling to pay his rent because of the Bush housing crisis. Anyway his oldest son thinks his dad is not man enough and has a little issue with it. Anyway dealing with a problem caused by the people he owes money to and wittnesses a hold up by the bad @$$ gang. The gang leaves him be but leaves them with more of a chore than they had in the first place. The father is a bit passive and the son gets more irritated by this. After a incident I will not talk about the father comes into a positition to make some money. He is determined to get this money and will follow through with this task to the end for his family. Through this some important things change and I cant tell you but will say it is really good. I can tell you that you will really enjoy this movie. I am watching it again and am enjoying it but it does not make the impact like it does the first time. Great choice for movie collectors but it is not odd enough for me to purchase. I usually but the strange stuff.

Suicide Club (Suicide Circle)

So this is the type of movie I buy. I dont know how to explain this except you will have to watch it more than twice at the least. It is a huge hit against society. It does a great job of doing this. What the deal is groups of people do these mass suicides and they need to get to the bottom of it. It is hard to go into anymore here because it is twisted and tweaked until the end. It reminds me of all the crap you see in the news with people shooting people up and killing themselves at schools. It is almost trendy. it is a hit on society similar to that. This movie is so much more than that though. I really cant tell you much about this movie to make any of it make sense to you or make you want to watch it. I would watch this without looking any more into it and it will throw you for a major loop. This is a movie for those that like to think and try to figure things out that are strange as hell. It will confuse you it will twist your thoughts and you will be impressed if you love strange things.

The Brave One, movie review, Bonus IRREVERSIBLE

The Brave One (Full-Screen Edition)

I got this one in the mail the other day and watched it and so I will fill you in on what I think. So I am not going to give much of the plot away but just the basic. Jodie Foster is getting ready to get married , to a man. First the acting on behalf of this romance was poor. You get the point though, she is in love. She is a radio host and does these little stories that Are pretty basic. Anyway the couple are having a nice night together walking there dog and they run into trouble.This causes her to change quite a bit and so does her radio show. As you can see from the cover of the movie she now buys a gun. So you are thinking it is a revenge flick but thats not all of it. It does have more plot than that which is pretty cool. The issue I have with it is the whole wrap up of all of this is very weak. There is a lot of times when you will be able to guess what is going to happen. It is almost like they made it to obvious just to dumb it down. Most of it would not possibly work the way they want it to so it is got a decent lame factor. It is one of the ones you should only watched if you have nothing else to do and still I think you should clean the house. It is watchable only once and you will not be impressed so dont go out of your way to rent it. It is a waste of entertainment. It could have been a pretty good flick but failed to be reasonable.

To add to this I will give a little insight to the list I have have of movies I like. I know unless you have seen them before you may not recognize the cover. So I will go through them with evey review I do. First off....

Irreversible

This is in the top ten for me. This is a great movie, some I have shown it to had to leave the room. One person said it was ok. He is wrong, according to me. It all plays in reverse. You will get a scene and you will be in shock, then it goes back to what led up to that scene. It does this throughout the whole movie. It is very effective. There are people that will say to me "it is hard to follow", "it is in subtitles". Get over it. That how many of the best movies are, go watch dodgeball or something. So one of the coolest underground aspects of it is the first scene. I will only tell you to watch "I Stand Alone" only then will you figure it out. It is crazy and disturbing stuff. There are so many great scenes in this movie. It is hard as hell and happy as heaven all at different times. I just love all the sybolic aspects to it and it is life, good and bad, caring and careless, life and death. It is a must see in my book and a warning it is one of the most disturbing movies that I love.

Death Sentence, a movie you will like

Death Sentence (Unrated Edition)

I watched this movie last night and it was pretty damn cool. If you have ever seen Taxi Driver I would call this the remix. It is about a man who watches his son get murdered, and dealing with the legal system and trying to get justice. It is a wild movie. It is one of those thrillers that actually does not follow the typical ones. There is more heavy twisrs to it. Actually they are not twists more a turn of events that may leave you beat down. It is a hard movie if you like stuff like that and has some really great characters. The acting was never cheesy which is hard to get now a days. I promise you will dig this movie, it may not be in your top ten list but you would recommend to others and want to see their reaction afterwards. If you are the type that watch every new movie that comes out this will blow you away. I would rent it tonight if I were you.
