Movies of 2011! The Reviews of 16-20

A quick summary of what this is all about. I watch 100 new movies a year. This is no massive feat or achievement its something I do for fun. I like movies and these aren't new releases these are just movies I have not seen, some are new releases some are from the past. All are fun. I have a 0-5 rating scale. 0 being awful, 5 being great. Again, this is just for fun so read it for fun. I try not to give spoilers. Enough of this recap stuff on with the reviews.

(16) Scott Pilgram vs. The World. (2010)
Scott Pilgram vs the World is one of the Best Comic Book series to ever be published. Some of the most fun and in depth characters are part of this series. Now saying that I will have to admit that I was a bit worried when they announced the movie. Yes Michael Cera is fantastic, He however is not what I envisioned Scott Pilgram to be. So I was Skeptical going in. I have a few complaints. One major complaint was they wasted valuable screen time on no important stuff to the movie. Some of the more important moments were represented, but the whole of the movie left me wanting for a fuller story. Some of the story was repressed and flown through when some of moments were drug out. I liked the overall feel. The Casting was great. I thought everyone but Cera was cast correctly. I thought Ramona Flowers was amazing. Mary Elisabeth Winstead is So amazing hot. Anne and I have had talks about her. Also Aubrey Plaza was in this. So the two most attractive females in Show Biz were in this movie. The real question here is Was the Movie true to the Comic? Yes. It was. I felt like it was done really well, I liked Chris Evans casting he was perfect, I expected a Ryan Reynolds but Evans is a Ryan Reynolds type guy. I loved him in the Losers and Captain America. The overall feel and flow of the movie was great. I believed the Ramona and Scott love connection. It was overall a fantastic rendition of the Comic. Cera did not pull of Scotts Character. Cera plays the same character over and over and over and over. Sometimes he is great and Cera fits a part. Cera is no Scott Pilgram. So It loses a point for that. The rest of the cast a crew were great. the acting other than Cera was spot on true to character and the bands were crazy good. 4 out of 5

(17) The Horde (2010)

I love Zombie Movies. I love Zombie movies with Gangsta's. I love Zombie Movies with Awkward people in Awkward situations. This is a Zombie Movie surrounded with mystique and weirdness. It's also French. A French Zombie Movie, I'm on board. So were some of my friends as we gathered around the screen for a French Zombie moment. We weren't super let down. It wasn't amazing. The Plot was this band of renegades storms a building full of Drug Dealers and Whores to take down a drug dealer that killed a family member of theirs. This of course goes all crazy when the Zombies show up. The Renegades and the Gangsters join forces to take out Zombie after Zombie. They run into this crazy old kook which is Dustin Minnick in 30 years and This old guy has tons of weapons and Ammo. They then proceed to try and rape a Zombie chick. Never thought I would see that, then the Zombies had everyone corned and one of the main guys just goes bananas with machines guns, grenades and axes and chaos got chaotic. The End howver takes away a point for Lameness, although you don't really see it coming. A quick Note Madea from Crossroads Recommended it. It was a good Zombie Flick, not exactly Zombieland or anything, but it was solid 3 grrrraaaagurgleaaarrraa out of 5. I suggest not skipping this if you are a Zombie fan.

(18) All Star Superman (2011)
This was a movie make of probably my favorite superman comic to ever be published. I didn't know if it would get the point across of Grant Morrison's epic Superman story. I won't ruin anything for you but it is a real issue for Superman to overcome. He basically gets cancer from all the sun he soaks in to gain his power. He then comes into contact with a lot of vile villains like Luthor and the Black Sun. There are some really good moments and it really shows Superman in the light He has always deserved. Superman is one of those characters who you can't do to much to this character without destroying him. The movie did follow the comic well, and I liked the voices James Denton is a great voice for the Man of Steel. It was good if you are a Superman fan it's a must see, If you aren't into to Super Heroes then this is not for you. Not at all. This is an in depth look at the Man of Steel in an alternate world with lots of nods to Superman's past if you don't geek out over Superman, you won't like this it will have a lot of confusing stuff in it. but for us Superman fans out there. It's a 5 out of 5.

(19) Sucker Punch (2011)
Anne and went to see this the release weekend. I was kind of excited to see this. Sexy girls, skimpy clothing, Kitanas, Mechs, Huge Guns, Dragons, Stripping. What is not to love. Anne hated it. because it had sexy girls, stripping, Huge Guns and Mechs. The Dragon She liked. I liked it OK I thought the casting could have been done better. Emily Browning looked uncomfortable as the main character. I hated the ending. The casting was just terrible. Really bad. Jena Malone and Abbie Cornish Sucked in it really bad the only one I actually like was the one going into it that I was Skeptical about. Vanessa Hudgens was wonderful. It was a thrill a minute was awesome action scenes but I just couldn't get over the bad acting the moments that were supposed to be sexy and just weren't because the characters weren't sexy. The Institution was a sad deal it was a massively sad story that you knew the story wasn't real. It was in the background of the background story and the story in the background wasn't really there at all. So confusing and the Movie made it worse. However, with all of this being said it was watchable so a 3 wait was that supposed to be sexy out of 5

(20) 50 Greatest WWE Superstars of All Time (2008)

First off I want to apologize for my obsession. I have a bit of Pro Wrestling Obsession I know a lot about it, I grew up watching it and there will be tons of Pro Wrestling Movies on these lists. I will not geek out too much about these. I will Say this List was utter BULLCRAP. If you don't have any Idea about Pro Wrestling I bet you can Name at least 4 or 5 Wrestlers. I asked my wife who does not endorse my obsession to name 5 real quick. Stone Cold Steve Austin Was first, Big John Stud, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, and John Cena were the ones she named. I asked her who is the Biggest Pro Wrestler of all Time Her Response, Hulk Hogan. On this list Hogan was a dismal 14 which was disrespectful. you know who didn't even make it. Rob Van Dam, Sabu and other ground breaking ECW stars. No Sting even though this covered WCW. I thought this was super Stupid and made me so Angry. The Number 1. Shawn Michaels. Shawn Michaels does belong in the top ten but in the later Half. This was a Stupid List made by Bitter, disrespectful people in a massive business. I like Piper and Flair, but in the real World no one did anything bigger Than Hulk Hogan. NOBODY. To have him at Number 14 behind the likes of Sgt. Slaughter and Shawn Michaels and Booker T. Is absurd. WWE makes me furious sometimes. This was completely disrespectful to those who carried that company on their back for years. Like Macho Man and Hogan. This is a 0 out of 5. Just for its sick inaccuracy.


That's it for those few. Check back later for more.
