Starting over. Movies of 2012. 1-3.

That's right people its time to start posting again. So let me tell everyone who is reading this what I am doing and why I am writing these posts.

 I love movies. All movies. All forms of movies, movies that are mainstream, movies that are underground, documentaries, short films, straight to video movies, TV movies, movies that are made to be barely watchable. I like them all, I understand what they mean and I judge interpretations and make my own. I also like to vent frustrations about other people and their opinions. I like to touch on actors and actresses and how great they can be, and how horrible they can be as well. My opinions are controversial and I like some movies that people hate and I hate some movies that people love. A very few of my friends bother to read this and they have been very vocal about what movies they want me to see. I really like feedback so please leave as much as you would like and follow my blog.


 This is how this works. I watch 100 movies in a year. Typically more, but I only count the movies I haven't seen. So It's possible to have a movie from the silent era and the next from the bright 80's and the next a boring documentary. I rate them on a 0-5 scale. I have done this for a few years now and I am sure people are ready to read the movie reviews. Also, feel free to skip through the blog and only read the one's you care about. For instance I enjoy pro wrestling. If you don't. Just skip it. Leave comments and follow.



 (1)OMG!! The Top 50 moments in WWE History (2010)
Lets get a disclaimer out of the way. Yes it's pro wrestling. Yes, I am a fan. Yes, I know it's staged. It's a T.V. show. This particular documentary just covers the super staged moments that the performers pull off. Some of it wasn't impressive. It just was on there because it was popular. It loses a point straight away for the horrible set up of the documentary. Terrible openings and this awful just horrendous theme song that played in between every single clip. At first I thought this takes away a point but as it went on and on and the music got worse, because it just kept playing before and after the clip, and before and after a clip was set up. I decided to take 2 whole point away, because of the terrible set up. Almost all the WWE documentaries will lose a point because of their terrible set up. They just were poorly produced, this one especially suffered from bad choices and worse set ups. The 50 weren't exactly memorable moments overall. Some of them weren't even moments I chose to hold onto from when I grew up watching this program. It wasn't a true representation of actual good moments definitely not the top 50. This being said, there were some really fun ones throughout like the milk truck and some Hogan moments. It is what it is and It doesn't deserve more that 2 stunners out of 5.


 (2) Chill (2008?)
This movie was given to me by a few friends Jacob and Mila. I promised I would get it in the year before. I didn't. I suck. That being said. Dane, India, Dustin and I watched it together or rolled on the floor laughing at it watched it. Some of it was the terrible special effects. So terrible that they were actually entertaining in themselves. Especially the ending ones. The plot was not executed very well at all. As a matter of fact not much was good about this movie. Not even the acting saved it. It wasn't one of those movies that you watch and it was so bad that it in turn became amazing. This was just some of the worst things in movie combined into one film of absolute crap. I suggest seeing it with friends just to have a good time, It was fun watching it with the guys because we could make fun of how terrible it turned out to be. 2 The murderer will never find me hiding behind this light pole out of 5.




 (3) Mulan (1999)
Mulan is one of those Disney movies that came out during the period where I didn't want to watch Disney movies, because I was playing Video games and chasing girls. Anne said that this is one of her least favorites. We however owned it and I wanted to watch it. So I took the time to set down and watch it. I really liked it, the music was memorable, the voice over by Eddie Murphy was spectacular, shades of the Genie, not as good but still pretty good overall. I thoroughly enjoyed the music. The plot was gorgeous and I liked the art throughout the movie, there is just something about that classic Disney style that really stands out as breath taking and reminds me of the way movie's should look when they are animated. I don't hate the new digital animated stuff, but there is something about that classic style that i appreciate. Not that Mulan was 100 percent that style, but man it was done well. I also want to say that the music blew me away. I know I mentioned it earlier, but Disney is know for their music and they didn't let down in this one. I liked Mulan. I liked the camaraderie that given through the army and the eventual love story flowed well and the fending off of evil and growth of character made this movie not only watchable but re-watchable. 4 out of 5



 Stay tuned for the next few movies
