(86) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2010)
Other Potter Films don't have rave reviews by me. For example Goblet of Fire felt really rushed through and Order of the Phoenix was a little too hesitant and The Half Blood prince Pissed me off royally, I mean seriously Why would put an action sequence in the movie that wasn't even in the book, then completely ignore and cut the best action sequence from the Book, not to mention they left out a lot of explanation for the how and why's. I just thought it was a little much to get wrong in large areas. This is why I mark The Half Blood Prince as my least favorite of the series. I would rate it a 3. So now that you know I take my Harry Potter Films seriously. I must say, Anne and I went all out for this viewing. Midnight viewing, We went with tons of friends Anne and I dressed up As Tonks and Lupin. We even got on TV, although I feel bad about this, because the Television guy approached our friends Matt and Ellen, and we went over to congratulate them on getting on TV and the TV guy asked us to be on the air too. We assumed we would just be background noise to Matt and Ellen, but The TV guy ignored Matt and Ellen and asked us the questions, This made me sick to my stomach, I felt so horrible I'm not even the fan of the series like Anne is, or Matt. So I really felt bad for stealing the spot light. So if Matt or Ellen is reading this, I still feel bad about it, I know you said you didn't care, but that doesn't make me feel any better, I feel as if I wronged you. Well, that being said, On to actually reviewing this Movie. The Deathly Hallows Pt. 1. First Off The first Green lantern Trailer came out here, I was excited. I got so excited I broke my wand. Anyway, This was the best movie out of the Series, I am just going to put that forward. It's like I was reading the book, but Through the Movie, I have never seen anything in this series so dedicated to the actual storyline. Plus, Emma Watson Half naked never hurt anybody, I would just like to say around Movie 3 I said she was going to be Hot, and I was right. Just putting that out there. This movie was bar none the best out of the series, It ended at the perfect part for the Movie to end in my opinion. I was ready for Movie two when it finished out. So excited overall. A Glorious roar of 5 out 5!!
The Next 3 movies deserve a Disclaimer. I wanted to spend some time with my friend Dustin So I just went to his house and hung out. This was right after Thanksgiving and we hadn't hung out in a while. So we played some Halo and then had dinner and watched these next 3 films. Anne wouldn't watch any of them with me, So I am glad to have Dustin, because Without him I wouldn't have the next 3 films. However, the first one I talked Anne into watching, and she loved it.
(87) Dr. Horrible's Sing along Blog (2009)
This is basically a few internet clips pasted together to make a musical is has fantastic characters, fantastic and fanboy actors and actresses like Nathan Fillion, Sean Patrick Harris and Felica Day. It is nothing short of wonderful, fun, and extremely fulfilling. Here is a clip. I know you loved it. Just go watch it, because it is amazing. Go ahead and laugh, I'm a funny Guy. 5 freeze rays out of 5.
(88) Human Centipede: The first Sequence(2010)
I will get this out of the way, If you are a member of the church, You shouldn't watch this. I shouldn't have watched this, I did, It was like a really bad Car accident you don't want to see the decapitated head, but that doesn't mean you're not going to look for it. So many people have watched this and let us all know how terribly awful this movie is, How sick and disgusting this film is, How twisted... You get the point here. All that being said, I couldn't pass it up, you movie people understand. Their is a difference between something being gross and something being demented, you just have to watch, as a movie buff I couldn't let this pass me by. Dustin had never heard of it, I educated him, he agreed we couldn't skip this. So we watched it, silently, and horrified. Not only at the girls utter stupidity, but the overall actions and horror from the movie. The end, Man what I way to be left alone. I don't want to spoil anything for those of you who plan on eventually sneaking this one in. This was perfectly horrific. One of the best hopeless horror movies I have ever seen. I shake when I think about some of the scenes. This leaves me with the conundrum, was it actually fantastic or was it really bad. The plot itself, I find hard to believe, not the actual centipede thing, because that's just movie's being movie's. But the not being able to over power, the not being able to escape, the naive police. I just don't by it. Too many holes. However, the dedication and overall creepiness gives it points. So I guess I am left oddly with 3 people strung together out of 3.
(89)Thankskilling (2009)
The poster does the rest of the explanation justice. Such bad actors I swear i saw cue cards in the reflection of the sunglasses. This was just horrible. The Turkey was a hand puppet, A plastic hand puppet. Sometimes you accidentally see the guys wrist. It was that bad. The one liners though! The one liners carried the movie from beginning to end, Which i didn't do, I left before it finished. I had to include it because their was only like 5 minutes left, I just didn't want to finish it. I laughed at the ridiculous nature of this. 1 stuffed turkey out of 1.
(90) The Good, The Bad, and The Weird (2010)
Just to say a few words on this one. I loved it. The plot was well drawn together, although lost now and then throughout, it came together really nicely in the end. I thought it was funny. It was a fantastic action movie, lots of epic gun fights, One of the best Villain's of all time lies in pages of this script. It is well directed choreographed and acted. It's foreign so if you don't like subtitles don't watch it, I don't take points off for that though, because that would be stupid. I thought this movie carried itself well. There isn't a lot to say here, it was a fantastic action flick. It was a bit long winded, but not to the point where it detracted from the feel, So I give it a 4 out 5.
(91) Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003)
Back to normal Movie watching for me, More DC Comic movies, Seriously I watch a lot of these. Ok, So this one is a little dated, It wasn't a very good story, It was really easy to figure out, and really it wasn't that great to begin with. It built off of the Batman the Animated Series popularity. It was like the final shot by this long list of movie that accompanied this series. It was a popular series and had lots of amazing episodes, and movies, This one was not in that company. It wasn't horrible, it was just ok. I think the animation was sloppy, because they had done so much of it they missed a lot of it that could have toned up a little. I also think the plot was not Batman worthy. It just wasn't carried out well. The Batwomen were LAME!!! They Stole From Marvel's Green Goblin with these Characters, The Total exact same weapons as The Green Goblin or HobGoblin, Not that Marvel Hasn't stole it's fair share, Don't get me started. I Could Argue for hours on how horrible Marvel is, because they basically stole every character from DC, anyway, That's neither here nor there, This is a Solemn 2 Batgoblinwomen out of 5.
(92) Predators (2010)
A lot of people complained about this one. I personally think they are looking for a bit too much out of their movies. It was a great addition to the Predators Franchise. A lot better than AVP 2 Requiem, because that movie was heaping pile of crap. This Movie started out pretty good. A free fall, just to be ambushed and have no clue whats going on. I thought the Character's were great and well played. Adrein Brody was kind of a bad cast, I understand people's complaints there. Laurance Fishburne made it rock. I loved his crazy person stuff. Topher Grace, It wasn't a surprise, but it wasn't that great of job by him, I thought he could have done better, it's like he stopped trying to act and is rolling of his That 70's Show fame. He can do better, but just doesn't. The remaining cast was pretty good overall, I liked the death scenes. The Japanese Samurai showdown was EPIC. Best way of all time. I thought the Predators were done Justice. Some people didn't like it because of the ending, but seriously, what did you expect to happen. Anyway, I don't understand all the complaints. It was a Predator movie. and for that reason I give it 5 out of 5.
(93) The Chronicles of Narnia: The voyage of the Dawn Treader. (2010)
Anne and I saw this in 3D. We didn't want too. We for some reason chose to see this at the Zeus Theater in Waynesboro Va. The only cool thing about this theater is that it has a gift shop inside of it. Otherwise It is the worst Theater in the area. Its just no Roanoke Valley View Grande, or any other Roanoke Theater. Anyway, We go and they only have it in 3D, so we just bit the bullet. No Reason for 3D the entire time. I just notice zero difference. Not like in Resident Evil. The Movie however was amazing overall. I really liked it. This is the first Time you can really feel that Jesus and Aslan are the same person, at least in film. In the book you get it almost immediately. I cried. It was the mouse. Lots of good laughs here, The Eustace Character was a great character. I liked it a lot. This was just a really fun movie. One question for the Narnia lover's out there. If they were only out of Narnia for a year or so in between The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe And Prince Caspian, And Came back and everything was hundreds of years older, how so do they return this time and Prince Caspian is the same age. This seems inaccurate to me. Maybe someone can shed some light here. It's not a criticism, It's just a puzzling factor. The Voyage was amazing. I thought the characters and everything that was involved along the way made it very substantial. Anne has read the book, I have not, I am reading them all this year, She said the Mist wasn't in the book, but she liked it because it carried the movie. She could see the point of having it there. So since I haven't read the book I can't compare the two. Perhaps my judgement will change when I do read it. for now it stands 5 out of 5.
(94) Bitch Slap (2009)
I don't recommend this. For several reasons. It's a guys movie. Not a guy like me though, maybe me when I was in High School, not now. Lots of getting up and doing other stuff until the music stopped moments. This was just pure retardedness. The plot, not even comprehensible. The action, that is worth a point. The Comedy, also worth a point. The bad acting, So bad it was great kind of thing I'm afraid so that gives it's final point. I know I am giving this a 3, but trust me, unless you are really bored, and alone, and male, and not mormon, and sleepy, this is just not worth it. I thought it was never going to end, and it's not that long.
(95) Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)
First off, This poster for the Movie I found Is amazing!!! Second, this is the best Star Trek Movie that i watched this year, It puts them all to shame. FANTASTIC. Plus, SO FUNNY. Captain Kirk asks the best question in Movie HISTORY. "If you are god, what do you need with a spaceship?" Think about it. The Crew of Star Trek voyage out to meet GOD! How are you still reading this and not putting this movie on. If you are looking for the end of the review, fine 5 out of 5 go watch it now. Live Long and Prosper and meet God.
(96) Harry Brown (2009)
This is one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen. The opening sequence alone is enough to make most people turn it off. However, Anne and I both set through this amazed at the story, the way it played out, the utter incompetence of the police and the unexpected violence at every other corner. I did not see this coming, When I saw the trailer I thought Brittish Gran Torino. Not so much. Way different. Way different. There were times when I thought Harry Brown might have been Dexter when he was younger. Scary Guy. needless to say it left an impression on me. Anne too. She can say she hated it all she wants, but she can't deny that she remembers it, and enjoys telling people about the scenes that you are just amazed to see. It's Violent. Really Violent. I think Michael Caine is Wonderful here. I really need to watch some of his films. I love him in everything I see him in, old and new. It's just.... Wow, I mean watch it, I can't give it a 5. I can give it a 4 though.
(97) Zombie Strippers (2008)
Just No, I was expecting Zombie Movie Stupid, but Wow. Come on now. They didn't even follow Zombie etiquette. They totally had a free minds and did what ever they wanted. Even the cheap sleezyness of this film isn't enough to keep it going. It was bad people. Like really really bad. I thought it would be really funny. It wasn't. I thought at the least it is a Zombie Movie I can mark off my list. In reality it isn't even a Zombie movie. It was not good. 0 out of 5
(98) Battle Royale (2000)
Unlike number 97, This was good. Not just good, great. Violent. like 96, just not as real. I think This film may steal the show as one of the best movie I saw all year. I thought it had just as many on the edge of your seat moments as any other film i have seen. I liked the Plot line. I liked the lay out of the plot line. I liked how it got carried out. There isn't a whole lot accept for some of the cheesy parts that I can say negative about this whole ordeal. Japanese Brilliance. However, I am going to knock off a point, by calling BS on the Character's that made it. NO WAY would they have made it. Not going to happen. They would have been taken out way early like the other pansies. The Crazy Chick or the accidental deaths would have taken them. Even the evil guy would have knocked them off. No way they Survive, It kinda pissed me off, I kept waiting for them to die, but they didn't. BS. 4 out 5.
(99) Despicable Me (2010)
Watched this on Christmas Eve With Anne. We bought it for each other for Christmas, we have two copies. It was great. Funny, I love the minions. The kids were funny. I thought the voice overs were perfect. A fun and fresh plot. That will be mimicked for years to come. I am looking at you Megamind. Anyway, It was a fresh and fun and heart wrenching animated movie. I cried like 4 times. I cried laughing at the minions, I cried with Joy at the carnival scene just to continuing to cry over the fluffy Unicorn. I Cried when he lost the kids. I Cried when he got them back. Then I bawled my eyes out when he read them the book that he wrote. Oh man, there I go again crying while writing the blog. A Fantastic Fun movie for the whole family or just some dude by himself in his apartment. Anne and I both loved it. 5 ITS SO FLUFFY's out of 5
And ...........................................................
(100) The Secret of Kells (2009)
I watched this as my last movie on purpose I wanted a beautiful movie for last. I love these animators. They worked on Samurai Jack. The Animation is what makes this film, their attention to detail could carry any terrible plot all the way through to the end. However, this was a great plot and had wonderful parts, scary parts, down right evil parts, and redemption sweet redemption. This is a redemption movie. Mistakes are made and then made up for. A very religious story. A folk legend story from the shores of Ireland brought to us by the amazing animators from Samurai Jack. The Music was entrancing and the world just sucked you right in and made you shiver. 5 out of 5.
Thats it. hope you like it. Scanned it. Whatever, I had fun writing it.
