The Black Dahlia
What can i say i just watched it and i was disappointed.

Its about two cops who are nicknamed Fire and Ice (Bucky Bleichert (Josh Hartnett) and his partner, Lee Blanchard Aaron Eckhart. They are both incharge of finding the killer for a young starlet Elizabeth Short during the 1940's. Bucky soon realizes that his girlfriend (Hillary Swank)had ties to the deceased, and soon after that, he begins uncovering corruption and conspiracy within the police department.

The first 40 minutes wasn't even about the Black Dahlia murder, but more about the two cops. Then when the murder happends, the story starts going into so many directions that i was like what? The acting was good, setting where good. Just that the story took too long to get started. Then when it did, they do the classic bad guy tells you how they did it. and poof. its the End of the movie.

The story was based on the novel (by James Ellroy, same guy who did L.A Confidential), and inspired by the real murder.

This one doesnt come close to L.A Confidential, but good try.

Its up to you if you want to see.
I had a choice of watching THE GUARDIAN. and this one. And Im sticking to my choice. Heard Guardian wasnt that good either.

The Last Kiss
Hold i know what ur asking, what the heck are you doing watching that movie.
Well my answer is that i looked at the rating and it said RATED R. So im like aight must be something good then.
I was right, for 5 mins. Then it went back to the movie..bastards.


Movie was about a group of people who's life change dramatically. Young and old are involved. They must learn to change, or be stuck in the situation that they are in.
There are 5 different stories that cross once in a while ,but they stay true to the main story.

Kinda reminded me of Garden State, not just because Zach Braff was in it.

Its a good movie. The story plays out good. Guys get a date to see this, dont watch it alone, otherwise..well unless ur are. Girls go freakin see this and you will understand what we guys go thru.

GRIDIRON GANG
Just watched Gridiron Gang, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Xzibit.

Its about a counselor at a juvenile center who starts a football program to help raise the self esteem of the teenagers living there.
I think that was the best summary yet..

Watching this reminded me of Remember the Titans

Okay heres a better one.


A career in corrections is often a thankless job. Dealing with the worst of society's offspring, its no wonder that 75% of juvenile delinquents end up as repeat offenders back in the system. A sobering statistic that inspired juvenile corrections officer Sean Porter to become proactive. His plan was to give focus and dignity to a completely forgotten demographic.

Gridiron Gang is based on the true story of Porter's first football team. He wasn't coaching trained athletes, and his players' parents weren't on the sidelines. There were no scholarships at stake or academic probations to worry about. He was coaching gangbangers and murderers in a low security juvenile facility with nothing to lose and everything to gain.

If Remember the Titans and The Longest Yard had a baby—it would be Gridiron Gang. The film had the warmth and heart of Titans with the basic premise of the Longest Yard. We all love an underdog story and what's buried deeper than a group of antisocial teenagers playing football for the first time in their lives.

It also tries to go the corny way, even making The Rock have tears...i almost laugh.

But this movie does make u cheer..(shoot i was watching it by myself and i was like yellin at the screen). But has its sad moments, even for me....(memories).

If your into lifestories made into movies then this is the one for you. Especially since it wasn't Diney who produced this movie like (Remember the Titan, Miracle, Invincible, Mighty Ducks. had to throw in that one).

The Covenant
So I watched THE COVENANT. The preview looked promising. Boy was I wrong.

The story is about a group of kids who's 4 families were the original witches of Salem, with the 5th family thought dead. They live normal lives. Except for the fact that they have supernatural powers. All is well til a decentdant of the 5th family arrives and wants their powers.

This movie was directed by Renny Harlin, the same guy who directed.
Exorcist The beginning
Cuttrhroat Island.
Not good references.

This is kind of a chick flick since I didn't see that many girls... too much of those freakin guys.

But I wouldn't reallly recomend this one. (Unless ur a girl) But if ur really bored go check it out.

The Protector
The Protector, starring Tony Jaa (Ong-bak) and also directed by Prachya Pinkaew(Onk-bak).

The story is about a man whose was brought up true to his heritage. His father was offering the prized family elephants to the king of Thailand, but were stolen. His father tells him that it is his duty to bring back the elephants back alive. He travels to Australia (where he bumps into Jackie Chan, just a quick cameo). Where he discovers a big crime syndicate are responsible for stealing the elaphants. Now he must figth them to get the elephants back.

The movie wasn't that bad. If u were a fan of Ong-bak, then u will enjoy this one. Tony Ja is known as the man who does his own stunts without the help of wiring, harness, or even special effects. Their were some fighting scenes where one single camera followed him for a couple of minutes.

Got sometime check it out..

CRANK
So i just watched Crank,

Wow this is a trippy @ss movie. You pretty much have to be on something to really enjoy this movie. Then again maybe not.

Star the same guy that did The Transporter and The Transporter 2, and sexy Amy Smart.

The movie is about a guy who is injected with a fluid that makes ur heart stop if you stop.
He has to find the cure but at the same time has to keep moving otherwise he dies. He uses everything from Red Bull, energy pills to.

This movie wasn't that bad action was good, story was ok, lots of nudity...(just thought i let you know). So that means its Rated R.

Go and Check this one out if you have a chance.

BEERFEST
OK now so i just watched BEERFEST from the same people who brought us SUPER TROOPERS, (broken lizard).

If you watched Super Troopers you will recognize a couple of the same people on BeerFest.

Story is about a 2 brothers who have to go to Germany and give their dead grandfather his wishes of going back for his octoberfest ceremony.
When they get there, they hear some stories about him and his mother and both are embarrassed infront of a secret beerfest crowd. Determined to get back their honor and grandfathers. They decided to train for then next BeerFest with the help of their buddies. They Train all year til the Day comes. Thats when the real fun begins.

Yeah so i laugh, a couple of times by myself. You have to have a good sense of humor to really enjoy this movie. Or atleast be a fan of Super Troopers.

Wants some good Laughs, then this is the movie for you. After your done watching go and get yourself a dam beer. That a wimpy ass smirnoff.

IDLEWILD
Just Watched IdleWild. This was like watching Chicago and Rent put together but the black versions without all that freakin signing. more dancing and outkast songs. The whole movie was like listening to their new album..LOL.

Starring Andre 3000 and Big Boi

The story is about 2 guys who grow up together but with different lifestyles. Ones a Son(Andre) of a Funeral Directors, the other is the son(Big Boi) of a bootlegger. Different lives but best of friends.

They both look out for each other from childhood to adulthood when their lives begin to change.

I like this movie story was ok but the dancing and the signing wasnt that bad either.
Got some time check it out

SNAKES ON A PLANE
So i watched the highly anticipated SNAKES ON A PLANE.
I actually did like it. The special effecton the snakes where kinda cheezy but what the heck. It had a lot of attack scenes, sex, and some funny parts.

The story is about a kid who witness a murder by a mobster in Hawaii. They try to Kill him but Agent Flynn (Samuel L Jackson) gets to him first and tells him, he needs him to go to L.A and be a witness for the prosecution. Which he has no choice. The Mobster find out he is going on a plane. So they put a Crate Full of Snakes spayed with hormones (Snakes on Crack). Hell breaks loose once the plan is in the air.

Got some time this weeken check it out.

Movie night continued with me watching ZOOM.
This movie stars Tim Allen. Courtney Cox, Chevy Chase, and Rip Thorn.

The story is about Zoom (Tim Allen, former SuperHero) who has to train a couple of kids to battle a SuperVillian who is threating the Earth.

PULSE





Pulse is the American version of the Japanese Film "Kairo".
Its Almost an exact remake of it

This version was suppose to be directed by Wes Craven. But he backed out, so he co-wrote it with the same japanese man who wrote the original.

The story is about a computer hacker who finds a frequency to the other side (world of the dead). They start coming thru a lot @ a time. Taking the life from the living.
A group of kids try to find a way to stop them, before its too late.

I kinda like this movie. Wasn't really expecting much, but it was ok. A couple of scenes that made u want to jump. I believe this movie is PG13. Meaning not that scary.

If u haven't seen the movie "Descent" I suggest watching that first, then this one.

Peace Out

ACCEPTED
So i watched Accepted.
I thought it was pretty funny. The fat kids sarcasm is nicely playout.

Movie is basically about some kids who get rejected by credited University. So they decide to create their own to fool their parents,(so they dont think their failures). Plan goes well til others find out about the fake University and want to enroll (not knowing that its a fake school).

Got some time this weekend, check this one out. I promise their are some laughs in there somewhere.

Ask me about my wiiiiniiieeeerrr

THE DESCENT
So i finally watched THe Descent today.
Everyone kept raving about so I had to see what the whole fuss was about.

Its about a group of women who are extremist and like doing crazy things. In this case Spelunking (cave explorers). They go to an undiscovered Cave system where they find more than just a new cave.

Well the 1st half of the movie was kinda boring. About to fall asleep. But when they got far into the cave thats where the real action started. Some good scary moments, I wasnt. I dont scare..

If you have some time check this one out. We all need a good scare once in a while.

Adios

KROQ
As of today
The Movie Review can now be heard on,

WORLD TRADE CENTER
Wow just watched it. It made me really remember what happend that day.

The movie stars Nicolas Cage. Jay Hernandez, the guy from crash who I can't remember his name.

As the title says its about Sept 11.

Starts off as any normal day.
The story revolves around a group of port police officers who are asked to help out in the evacuations of the people still in the towers.
All hell breaks loose, when the towers start collapsing.
Their wills get tested. So does their families.
Pretty good movie, showed a lot of actual footage from 9/11. If you don't want to remember it all again. I don't think u should watch this movie. There were some footages from when people were jumping from the towers, real footage. Made me shiver a couple of times.
Good one from dorector Oliver Stone.


Well that's all I'm tired

Peace out

TALLADEGA NIGHTS
Screen it last night.
A lot of the funny parts they showed u in the previews were the funny parts in the movie.
But u what it is a funny movie. Will Ferrell is good in this redneck nascar stock driver role. Its a good movie to watch with a crowd.
The story is about a pit crew member who is asked to drive because the regular driver doesn't want to. He's a natural and starts winning.
Got some time check it out. Its no RON BURGANDY, but close enough.
Also I hear that THE DESCENT is not a bad scary movie to watch. Plus it has the SAW 3 preview.

Peace out

JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE
So i watched this movie on friday morning @ 2am. yeah early.

MIAMI VICE
Ok just Watched MIAMI VICE. So I was like WTF. The movie is an Action/Drama. Lots of sex scenes though. The action, crazy people getting their arms and legs blown off. Literally. Wow.
Overall the movie was ok could have been better especially for a movie that is 2hr15min long.

This was directed by Michael Mann, the same guy who directed Collateral.
The movie was filmed on 35mm and on digital film. So @ times it looks funky.

If ur a fan don't expect too much.
Remember that it comes out on dvd in about 4 months.
You pick 10 per person or 3.99 @ blockbuster.
But I know that this movie will be 1 this weekend.


Peace
Happy birthday 2 me
