january 2008 movie review

Posted: January 8, 2008

well it is that time again. movie review! i haven’t done one of these for a while. i do watch a fair share of films but i like to only comment on those i really like or really hate. today i present a mixed bag of nutty nuts.

and for all those that are going to call me out on the fact that some of these are older titles can rot. it is like a warm sweater and a cup of smooth coffee - don’t you get it?!?

Live Free of Die Hard

i highly anticipated this movie but was disappointed that it was pg-13 so i avoided seeing it in the theater. i know, classy that i prefer john mcclane saying shut the fuck up rather than shut the hell up. i rather fancy the swearing. it makes the film.

i am glad i waited. i found an unrated version of the film and purchased it. it didn’t even have to see it to know that if the word fuck cameos in this at least more than once then it will be good. and boy oh boy was it! this was the first unrated film that actually lived up to it’s unrated status. most of those claims offer maybe another set of boobs or something dumb. the unrated phenomenon is highly over-rated and just gives movie studios another copy for nerds to buy.

i do disagree with all of those that think it is the best yet. stoopid. bruce willis kind of has that i still got it look on his face the entire time. which is fine because john mcclane is a hard ass… maybe there just wasn’t enough blood. see it if you even slightly enjoy this sorta shit.

Epic Movie

wow. there were moments that i found myself cutting my arm in this film. i had to torture myself - like watching a bad hip hop video. avoid at all costs.

Alien vs Predator Requiem

now this was not that bad. well, i can’t honestly say that. it had it’s moments like most movies like this do. but those i went with all agreed that the dialogue and story line could be wrapped up in a sack full of kittens and stones and thrown into the local river. we simply want to see aliens and predators in some sort of arena tearing each others faces off. just ask michael vick.

the end line is fucking ridiculous. a little girl looks up to her mother and asks in a dorky voice mommy… are the monster’s gone? and the mom looks up to the sky and says yes. fade.

Knocked Up

i thought this was a great film. it is the first pseudo girly film that balances the two sides of the film so both sexes can enjoy. there are moments when i am like YES!. it keeps a great pace and i always like watching my girl laugh. the part i could leave out is the actual birth part. gross.

this video below reminded me of the movie in a weird disconnected irrelevant sort of way.

well, that is it for this movie review. now please, if everyone can quit emailing me for a little while demanding more movie reviews!
