On with the movies.
(26) Pirate Radio 2009
The Boat that Rocked is the original title. I like Pirate Radio better. I like Philip Seymour Hoffman. Especially when he isn't trying to act and he just is. In this he does a great job. This was a really cool story that followed a young man on his journey to get to know his dad. Charlie Rowe played James
who is this kid who goes on a boat for the summer that broadcast Rock N Roll off the Coast of England. Why do they broadcast from the coast. Well, because its illegal to do so on the Island. The boat is full of characters great characters. For Instance Philip Seymour Hoffman's character "The Count" he is a back stabbing, oddly relaxed fun and really obsessive. The more I look through the cast, the less memorable they are. Bill Nighy is in this he play Quentin who was the pimp of the group. Chris O'Dowd was amazing as he usually is in everything, especially The IT crowd. If you haven't watched The IT crowd. Speaking of the IT Crowd Katherine Parkinson also drops in.You should. Kenneth Branagh made a great appearance. Plus one of my favorite actors who hail from the Isle Nick Frost is in this and is so great. If you love Rock N Roll. Love Britain and are in for a good laugh, you might want to check this out. The story line or plot if you will was straight forward. Nick Frost offered plenty of relief throughout and Chris O'Dowd helped push the envelope when the movie started to go sour. The important Chris O'Dowd story line felt out of place. It almost felt like Filler. Filler in a movie isn't a good thing. The feeling the crew had to the Radio station was great. The ending was one of the best and most appreciated endings in all of movies. It was a beautiful ending. Sad, unsuspectingly sad. It was disturbingly upsetting. However, it was really good. the ending was impressive. The entire movie with the exception of the Chris O'Dowd story line made perfect sense and was brilliant build up to the end. I loved the music. If you don't love Brittish Rock N Roll and can't tell me the difference between The Who and The Beatles, maybe this isn't for you, but if you can pick songs off the radio and tell me that hey that was The Kinks or Cream or Led Zepplin or The Yardbirds. Then this; you may like. It did slow down quite some bit throughout. There was a great scene at the end with how important the music really was to these people. To a lot of people. I have friends who would react the same way. The record box part was so sad. It did have it's issues though. I felt like it was scattered. Straight forward plot with side stories that were told in the middle. Almost like a burn out was telling the story and strayed off on occasion and had to be reminded about the story they were trying to tell. The off shoots were funny. However, not exactly..... necessary and I honestly felt like there were two or three parts that were just 100% there to take up time, because there wasn't enough story here to make a full movie. It was a good story to tell and should be told, I was glad I heard it, but it was spastic. For that reason. It only gets a 3.2 out of 5. If you like Old classic Brittish Rock like The Stones and the the aforementioned bands. It might be a must see.
(27) Twilight (2008)
Someone pointed out to me that I needed to watch the Twilight Saga. I'll have you know as I am writing this I have not seen the last movie. As a matter of fact it hasn't come out yet. I did watch all of the others. I know the people who read this blog expect me to bash this series so hard that I'll be sneezing glitter for weeks. Well. You may not get what you want. I watched them objectively and tried to forget the prejudice I went in with. Well. Lets do this. First off. The Plot was terrible. Just really bad. Bratty little snot of a Teenage girl moves in with her dad and does nothing but under appreciate him and disrespect him. Then she craps on the people who have befriended her and catches the eye of the cute guy. By the Way. Those of you who think Kristen Stewart is amazing and is the best actress to grace Hollywood in years. You can stop reading this blog. She isn't. Even though it's not like she didn't have a lot to work with when it comes to the script I saw her in "Adventureland" She wasn't good. I heard she stunk it up in "Snow White and the Huntsman" as well. I can't say for sure, because I haven't bothered to watch that. I will I'm sure. Stewart, I don't like her. Bella is a terrible, horrible, vomit inducing character. The fact that she is a role model for young girls makes me sick. Yes, she waited until she was married to have sex. That is admirable especially since most characters in movies and TV through out their V card like it's dirty cat litter. I guess she has that going for her. The Vampires. Fast. Strong. Can come out during daylight????? Sparkle in the sunlight?????? I don't like that. I thought, hey I'll give it a chance. Super powered, Super fast vampires that sounds great right. Well, it isn't. Not really. They are very Wolf Pack like. That is OK in my book. The Glitter thing. Unacceptable. Awful. The Love story with Bella and Edward. Very early teen. Very unbelievable. A Vampire as old as Edward wouldn't put up with it, no matter how good she smells. This{ I Love you, I love you too. I can't be with you. You need to stay away from me. Never leave me. } So So terrible. I can't even begin to tell you how bad the story itself is. I couldn't handle it. I could however see why people do. If you are a lovesick individual who can't take real horror films, but can enjoy something that could be scary. Then I can see how you like it. Basically young girls or maybe someone who went through a tough break up or who is in general sappy. Here's the thing about this, I can't say its the worst thing ever. I have seen much worse. Much worse. It isn't for everyone. It just isn't. I didn't like it. The Movies make Billions people. Billions. It may be marketing to people who aren't like me. Who I would have little to nothing in common with. It does have something going for it though. It's almost like I feel like I could take this story. Break it down. Then make it better. It has potential. It's almost like it's a first draft of a story that has potential to be great. Instead of working on it however you just printed it out and turned it in. The Family of Vampires switching from town to town over hundreds of years. That's a great plot. A Vampire falling in Love with a human. Potentially great. Twilight. Does not pull this off. At all. Not at all. Bella crying back and forth about make me a vampire not don't. How indecisive can one character be. I hate that character so much. I read on IMDB someone called her "Kind Hearted" LADYN1 on IMDB. You are wrong. So wrong. She's a spoiled little brat who is selfish and does nothing if it doesn't interest her. How about special effects? Actually outstanding. Top notch. Which is depressing. I wanted to hate them, but the dashing and overall imaging were done really well. As a matter of fact the overall feel of gray and silver throughout meant that someone out there was paying attention to what they were doing. I felt like the movie studio hired some pro's to do a TV movie. I honestly can't comprehend how it makes the money that it does. I don't get it. Oh yeah. Acting in General is just God awful. So bad. It's like the actors have teleprompters and were told to act like the kids from 90210. Which is sorely outdated. Ready for that rating?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! It's not going to be what you expect. The first movie. well. The ending scene with the Vampires battling it out James and Edward it was not bad. Not bad at all. The Final scene actual earned a point. So final Rating 1.9 out of 5. Not as bad as you expected.
(28) Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
Yes, I watched this one next. I actually powered through these relatively fast I think I got through them all in like a week. Not because they were that good, but because I just wanted to get it over with. It was like work. I did work for you people. which reminds me. I don't get paid for this. You should at least do me the favor of going to Facebook and liking the pages I mentioned earlier and go on by the Christain edge page. Already done it. Well do it again. It won't hurt anyone. Ok. New Moon. Terrible Awful vomit inducing love story turns in too even worse bowl movement inducing Love Triangle. Add another Terrible actor to the movie. Yes I am aware that Taylor Lautner was in the first movie, but not nearly as much as he was here. We get to see him become one of the pack. What's happening to him, Becoming a Werewolf. Logical to think that Werewolves are in the same world as Vampires. I was cool with that. The transitions were actually stellar another nod to the people behind the scene with these films. special effects aren't horrific. At least not as bad as the actual Plot. Bella. Still Spoiled and pathetic. Edward still a sparkly Vampire. Jacob is the one who is going through change and he is dragging Bella along with him. Now it's more I love you No I don't's. Plot still horrible. Edward left after the attack by James in the last movie, which is where Jacob had the chance to move in on the Sad, lonely depressed Bella. Who just can't seem to have any respect WHATSOEVER for her father. This leads to Edward who left her to form up some quality Alpha male aggression/douchebaggery. Enter more people trying to Kill Bella. Too bad they don't succeed. I give this a 2 out of 5. I said the majority of what I have to say about these craptacular characters. The special effects and staging are the stars here.
(29) Daredevil Vs. Spiderman (1996)
This is a compilation of stories from the Spiderman hit television series from the 90's on FOX. The Amazing Spiderman Vs. The Man Without Fear. Whats not to like. It was run of the mill however. Of course the boxey characters will never be forgotten to those of us who were fortunate enough to experience this as it aired. What a great time to be alive and young in the 90's. We not only had this Spiderman series but we had X-men. Batman the Animated series which spawned Superman, The Justice League and The Justice League Unlimited, and Batman Beyond. We also got a short stint from the Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four and Iron man. There was a Hulk too, but I didn't get see that one as it aired and still haven't seen it. These series introduced us to characters we all loved in the marvel universe. Everyone made an appearance it felt like. I tuned in just to see who was going to show up next. Punisher, Iron Man, Warmachine, Alternate spidermans, Which Villain would show. Carnage, Venom, Doc Ock, Who??? It wasn't bad not at all. If you feel nostalgic to relive any of those moments or you want a feel for what they really offered. Well. This is a great storyline and it covers all the bases. It gives you a great introduction to who Daredevil is. Then gives you a nice long team up with the two superstars in the Marvel universe. This series is what it is. The art isn't stand out. The lines throughout can be cheesy. It was Saturday morning cartoons people. Not exactly award winning. Good however 3 Thwips!!! out of 5.
(30) Get Him To The Greek (2010)
Anne and I set down to watch this. We have slowly become Russel Brand fans. He is really funny. So we decided to watch the movie that made him. Jonah Hill is in it. Russel Brand. It can't be bad right. It's gotta be stellar. NOPE. Little to no funny sections in a comedy. More of it was uncomfortable and absurd. I just didn't get it I guess. It was loud and full of Drugs and bad sex jokes and P. Diddy or whatever he wants to be called. The rude and mean song that was the song that ruined the career of the rockstar made me uneasy and it just got worse as it went forward. Brand was annoying and Hill was worse. Hill tried to pull of Micheal Cera. It didn't work for him. This is utterly skipable. 0.9 out of 5.
Ok so what is this Challenge I spoke of Earlier. If you haven't noticed my theme its very. Aquamanish. Thats on purpose and there is a story behind that. I love Aquaman, Arthur is the man, but it has more to do with my friends than it does anything. We all played Call of Duty 4 together and formed a group that we goofed off with. We called ourselves the Justice League and all took names of DC comic characters. I picked Aquaman because he wasn't that great of a character, I wasn't that great of a gamer. I still am not. We still rock our individual characters. So in support of me. This Blog and friends in General. What Do I want you to do. I want you to take pictures of yourself with an Aquaman. Tshirts, Toys, anything. You don't have to own it. Just hit the toy section. Batman the Brave and the Bold has been popular of late. Take a snap shot of you with Aquaman and send it to me. Ill put it in my blog. My Top 10 by March 31st 2013 will get rewards. Good rewards. Not joke rewards like Cody's 17 magazine. I will get you something really great. OUTRAGEOUS even. So find some Aquaman gear. Suit Up. Send in the Pictures and Win. You could get all 10 prizes, just because you get one doesn't mean you can't win them all. Be creative.
There are some ground Rules to my Aquaman contest:
1) To enter you must actually send me your pictures in some form. I have to get them digitally or in hand. Facebook is good for this. Blogger is good. Email is great. For those of you who have my number text it to me. Brandon.Entsminger@gmail.com is my email.
2) It has to be in good taste. No nudity.
3) It has to be Aquaman orientated. Just because Batman and Aquaman are in the same company doesn't mean I want a bunch of Batman pics or Superman pics. Mera, Aqualad and Black Manta among all others are all fair game. You can also have Batman or Superman with Aquaman that is ok.
4) Lastly, Have fun. Be creative. If you see a cool pitch fork and want to paint it gold and shove it in some fish feel free. Want to through on a red wig and look sexy. go ahead. Keep it classy though. Want to dress your baby up as a fish and Have and Aquaman figure boss him around. Thats cool. 10 prizes for the 10 best.
