I'll Vine the Drawings after the blog is posted. Who will Win?????? You still have a chance to submit crap. Just send it in.

(91) JLA: DOOM (2012)
I was excited for this. A JLA movie with a change up of villains. It was remarkably forgettable when it comes to DC animation features. It fell hard for my ratings of these. Most of them score at least a 4.9. This one isn't getting that. The animation style wasn't anything special. The character building didn't happen as quickly as it should have. It didn't give off any excitement or potential for sequels. Just a run of the mill. That being said even the Run of the Mill for DC animation is spectacular. So sadly a 4.2 out of 5.

(92) N.W.O.: The Revolution  (2011)
Another Wrestling film. It chronicled the NWO fad from the 1990's. In the world of professional wrestling. It's a World War. Three Companies were Bidding for dominance of the fans. WCW, WWF, and ECW. The Monday night wars had started. WCW and WWF were going head to head on Monday night. WCW continuously were in the attack mode. Stealing Super Stars like Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage from WWF. WWF responded with skits making fun of Hogan and Savage and their age. They both took shots back and forth. The battle was over ratings. At first WWF were slamming WCW. ECW had a Thursday night show and they independently lost out to WWF in the beginning and were secretly run by WWF for years before the "buy out" WCW kept attacking. WCW used the fact that they were live a lot to surprise WWF fans. Rick Rude defected and showed up on WCW Monday night Nitro while also on the Taped WWF Raw getting praised by the owner Vince McMahon. The Winners of Raws matches were given out by Nitros commentators. Nothing compared to the N.W.O. The NWO was a made up faction within WCW. A popular superstar in WWF left for WCW. However, He showed up in street clothes, and jumped in the ring during a match and said he was tired of WCW's crap attacking his company. He said he was here to kick everyone in WCW around. He then said he had a friend that was showing up. This whole time posing as a WWF superstar infiltrating the WCW. He brought the WWF Champion with him next week. Well everyone thought he was the champion, but he lost the belt the same night on WWF TV. They Challenged the Top Three WCW superstars to a match. They said they had a friend coming. WCW's pay per view featured the Three top WCW guys against the two WWF guys and a surprise visitor. The two WWF guys called the outsiders (in the picture the first defector is on the left and the second on the right making up the outsiders) then toward the end of the match the two WWF guys had cheated and won the upper hand WCW looked like there top three weren't good enough to beat the two WWF superstars. Then the WCW headliner, the saving grace Hulk Hogan came down to the ring. Only to drop a signature Leg Drop on the WCW guy in the ring and Start the NWO. A faction of superstars working within WCW, for WWF, to beat WCW from within. This tells this epic storyline. 3.0

(93) Limitless (2011)
 A pill that can let you do things that others can't even dream of. Wait, Cooper may have actually taken one of those. How does he look so good. Cooper did a great job. This movie is overlooked, It's way better than you think. I had low expectations. Anne didn't have very high ones either. It was really good. High impact, nice roll of the dice moments, good suspicions, the drug was mysterious and caused great side effects. It was a fun, well thought out movie. It also surprised me by having a really strong under belly feeling. It was speaking to people with addictions in a subtle manner. Letting them know, hey it is not a good thing. Regardless of what you think the drug can do for you. In the end it's not worth it. Deniro is slipping. Getting lazy. It shows here. It was well done, well acted, fun script. predictable. Dragged a bit in the part before the part before the end. 4.3 out of 5

(94) Mansome (2012)
From the director of "Super Size Me" Aka "Going to Mcdonalds after this" comes a fun look at men. Using Arrested Development stars and random hollywood guys to show what it is to be a man. Not really that but a fun look at some manly crap like beard contests. It was fun. Anne laughed a whole lot. We didn't expect this much fun from a documentary about manliness. However, it delivered. Some of it was a bit slow and a bit silly. Zach Galifinakis was amazing as expected. A fun part on fake hair. The Beard part was the winner though. by far.  A creepy look at metrosexual and how it is looked down upon by real men. The guy shaves his body everyday for 2 hours. That's overkill bro. 3.9 out of 5.

(95) Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
Do you think it was an accident that this poster happened to have a character face that looks like the Star Wars Sith Lord? Yeah, I didn't think so either. A motion picture with the Star Trek: The next Generation crew. It was comparable to some of the other Star Trek films of the past. Not of the Recent ones. The Recent ones. Wow. They are GOOD. This one it isn't. 2.8 out of 5. So now what to talk about. How about Star Trek. I like it. Anne and I are currently going painstakingly through the first series. Only a few episodes in, A friend of mine who is a real Trekky lets me in on the fact that you have to get through the bad ones to the meat of the show to start really enjoying it. I love the movies for the most part and remember what I have seen of The Next Generation fondly. So I am excited to get through the tough part into the great part. I'll let you know. Lets see. Oh have you thought about the Aquaman prizes lately. Well I vined them On Facebook and Twitter follow me on Twitter @beespray989. Here are your prizes.


 plus don't forget. I changed them all up. this means that the past blogs don't mean crap. The Sixth and the Seventh are Xbox points and the mighty Qwertee.com t-shirt.

86-90 The End is Near, Get your contest stuff in or plain out not win.

Deal. I watch 100 movies a year that I haven't seen before. I rate them 0-5. 0 bad 5 good.

Aquaman contest. Deal. only a few submissions. Those who have submitted I will have a drawing for. I will put prizes in a hat. Draw one out. You win that prize. Prizes. Read back blogs. Prior posts. Whatever the correct jargon is. Movies. ON with them.

(86) H.H. Holmes: America's first Serial Killer (2003)
It's not a secret that I am a Dexter fan. Don't know about Dexter? It's a Showtime television series and it's pretty dang good. Watch it. However, Dexter didn't influence my wanting to watch this. My curiosity with Killer's did. This guy. He was brilliant. He got sloppy in the end which is how they caught him, but amazing brilliant at the beginning. His house of Horrors mimicked something out of a horror film. He must have inspired thousands of books, movie, shows and so on and so forth. His story is amazing, he was a highly regarded individual and over time lost favor in the eyes of his town. Almost as if the town knew something creepy was about him, and they decided to ignore it. This documentary was alright. It wasn't Amazing film by any standards or methods. Straight forward and boring. Which is what I can't stand with Documentaries. Here is a story worthy of excitement and the presenter is so formal and Country Club snobbish you want to vomit and hit stop, but the information he finds so grueling to tell you is gripping and keeps you at the end of your seat. He is one of the most notorious killers. The documentary is dry. How can that happen. Seriously How? Borowski I guess is at fault. I mean look at the cover. It's drab, gray and boring. You couldn't find a better photo of H.H. Holmes and his home. Put some actual thought into it for god sake. 2 I could have done this better with my eyes closed out of 5

(87) Swingers (1996)
So I watched this solely because of Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau. It won a bunch of stuff It has lots of accolades. So why not. Side story. I use a quick Google image search to find my movie posters. I had Google Image up. Just went ahead and typed in swingers and hit search the images I saw were not the ones I was aiming for. I quickly yelled and typed 'the movie' Moral of that story. If you want to look for this movie later. Type in Jon Favreau afterwards. Not a pleasant experience. The movie was opposite of that it was a pleasant experience. Favreau and Vaughn are obviously not the best actors in this and are stretching out there wits trying to make it work. The movie however was a solid and stellar script. Fantastic scenes well played out, a bit too 1996 It could be viewed now as a period piece. Good references great storytelling. a solid 3.9 out of 5. Why not a 4. My experience with the movie poster dramatized me and I can't get over the cheesy one liners and the skirt calls.

(88) Reservoir Dogs (1992)
WHAT? I can hear you all screaming that I have taken this long in my life to see this film. I know It's Tarantino. I am aware that I really like his movies. Yes it took me forever to see it. Why? well. I dunno. Moving on. Typical Tarantino. Nothing shy of brilliant. I saw the surprise toward the end coming. when Tim Roth Spoilers****** set up and shot. I saw that coming. It was a fun energetic film with laughs and blood. Isn't that Tarantino's deal though. Mr. Blonde was amazing. Did you catch his name Vic Vega I wonder if he is related. the running gag on Mr. Pink was fun. A solid film. If you like Tarantino you will like this. Close to perfection. Tarantino normally is. 4.6 out of 5. I want Tarantino to do a Deadpool movie.

(89) The Hobbit (2012)
I hate America. I read reviews on this. Some people complained about the story being "too accurate to the book" " It has too much story" " Spent too much time in the beginning in the hobbit hole singing and naming the characters" ARE YOU KIDDING ME. It's the Hobbit one of the greatest stories ever told. It needs to be a long story and told in a epic manner. Show it showed a lot of the country side. It was beautifully rendered and gorgeous country side. Put down your phones, shut your mouths and enjoy what was put in front of you. If you skipped this movie because someone told you it was boring or too long. Think to yourself. Would you really want The Epic of The Hobbit any other way. It was the beginning of the Lord of the Rings. It's meant to be breathy and long. Draw it out I say. Give me all the Shire I can handle. Make it accurate to the book. The book is a legend in its own right. I loved it. My wife caught it in theaters 3 times. Not only that I dare you not to laugh at Gollum and the Riddles. Well done. Bring on the next one.  5 out of 5.

(90) Polar Express (2004)
It's Christmas time by this point. I'm a little nervous I have to get in ten movies buy presents. However, what's Christmas without a classic. So which Classic have I not seen. Tom Hanks Masterpiece Polar Express. I admit I caught the cut TV version which I am sure missed fantastic moments that I more than likely should have seen. Christmas at the beach is different. I spent the days cutting trees for Home Depot and the nights stressing over money because of our recent move. Moving is expensive. This movie was cheerful. Fun. Predictable. Long. Terrible Animation. good for 2004 though. Plus, it did have a wink. Just a wink. Of Christmas magic. Give it a solid 3.6 out of 5.
