FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS
This movie stars, Ryan Phillippe, Joseph Cross, Jesse Bradford, Robert Patrick, Paul Walker, and Adam Beach. Directed by Clint Eastwood.

The story is about the 7 men who raised U.S flag at the battle of Iwo Jima, during WWII. The photo that was taken immortalized them. But only 3 that raised the flag would survive to tell the story.So the U.S government decides to used them as the poster childs of the War. Parading them around in order for the American people to buy War Bonds. They did this knowing that they knew the truth.

Ok so the beginning was pretty cool, war, people getting shot at. Body parts flyin everywhere. Then since this movie is a drama. Well I dont have to give you the definiton of a Drama. I was falling asleep. Eastwood did a lot of flashbacks. It all takes place in 3 different time period. The soilders flashbacks of Iwo Jima, them during their War Bond Tours, and in present time when one of the survivors was telling the story to one of the sons of Ryan Phillippe's charactor.

If your into dramas, like Eastwoods movies. Check this one out. Its the same style as Million Dollar Baby.
Also like his other movies this ones long. About 2hr 25 with preview.


Thats all

MAN OF THE YEAR
Had some time today, so i decided to watch this one.

This one star Robin Williams, Christorpher Walken, Laura Linney, Lewis Black, and Jeff Goldblum. Also directed by Barry Levinson.

Story is about a comedy (Williams) who is so popular in the Talk show circuit. That he is asked to run for President of the United States. He thinks its a good idea and goes for it. Never expecting to win. At the same time a computer company creates a program that should eliminate the hassle of voting by computerizing it.

Ok so the beginning was funny, specially when Williams was doing his stand up routine. Half way thru. It started getting boring, but then it got somewhat funny. Then boring.

What I'm tryin to say is that as long as Robin Williams was doing his stand up routines this was a good movie but when he wasn't a little boring

Want a good laugh check this one out. But don't be expecting a whole lot. Especially since this movie is almost 2hrs long.

THE MARINE
Just watched The Marine.
Starring John Cena and Robert Patrick.

Its about a marine who gets discharged after not following orders. Now he must live a regular life. Life outside isnt just what he wanted.
So when he and his wife take a vacation. They encounter some jewel thieves lead by Robert Patrick. They take Johns wife hostage, now he must get her back. At all cost.

Well this was an OK movie. The Action was great but the script kinda sucked. Could have been a whole lot better, but what do you expect. This movie was made in 2004. lots of scipt changes and scenes reshot.

Want an action movie this weekend Try this one. Otherwise stay home like i am since im a little sick..

GRUDGE 2
The Grudge 2 starring Sarah Michelle Geller and Amber Tamblyn, Also directed by the Takasi Shimizu, who directed the Original Japanese version "Ju-On"

This is the continuation of the original movie, starring Sarah Michelle Geller. She is now in the Hospital and her sister (Amber) must help bring her back home. But things start happening and and she gets exposed to what her sister was exposed to. Then other people start to get exposed and start to die.
sfigure out the movie. First I thought that i put the movie together in the wrong order but then toward the end things started to go into place. Still a little confusing. Didnt know if it was in real time or was it one of those remember sequences. Most of the Characters Never interacted with one another. It was like there was 3 different movies going on. At the same time.

There were some scary scenes where i kinda of jumped. but that creepy boy and girl popping up was getting old.

If your really bored and have nothing to do. Go ahead and watch this movie otherwise Avoid it.

THE DEPARTED
I actually had some time to watch "The Departed" last night.

It stars Leonardo DiCarpio, Jack Nickleson, Matin Sheen, Mark Walberg, and Matt Damon. Directed by Martin Scorsese.
So you already know its going to be long...about 2hr30min long.

This movie is about two guys who work for two sides of the law. One is a mole for a known Irish Mobster, and the other is an undercover with the Irish Mobster. Both are trying to figure each other out. At the same time people around them are getting killed.

I thought it was pretty good, for the length of the movie I was like really into.

You have some time really check this one out. Trust me you wont be disappointed.

Texas ChainSaw Massacre: The Beginning.
Lets start this off. I was first gonna watch this by myself..Cause Im a man i can handle it ok. Then Nesto came by and watch it too.

The story is the prequel to the Original MASSACRE'S. Telling you where Leatherface came from. Which was kinda of cool. Then the story goes to the 4 kids who are on their final road trip before going to Vietnam (yup this takes place in 1969 during the 1st Killings). They get into an accident and the local sheriff shows up. Who if you saw the previous Massacre you would know it was LeatherFaces uncle/town sheriff. Takes them to the Mansion. Thats where the good stuff happends.

I liked this one, it kinda dragged a little but kept you alert on what was going on.

Official this movie had a rating of NC17, but had to cut out a couple of scenes to give it, its current rating of R. That should tell you how gory it is.

Ladies your gonna be scared. Guys your arms are gonna hurt from them grabbing on you. But I was a little dissapointed. Not to be like a pig, but I didnt see noo Boobies. W.T.F. Shame, shame.

Got some time check this one out. Nothing like a scary movie to remind you that halloween is around the corner.

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH

Alright so i just watched it.
I was expectin a lot of laughs and you know what i was kinda disapointed about it. Even with Dane Cook

The movie stars Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson, Dax Sherpherd, and that pedro kid from napolian.

This is about a slacker (Cook)Zach who just lives to get by the day at the Super, kinda like Costco. Him and his 3 other buddies. His Rival (Sherpherd) Vince the super employee of the months. Both are tryin to get the same cashier girl (Simpson) who just tranfered. Zach has to change his ways, (cause she likes employees of the month) to become a super employee. The guys went back and forth, kinda of like SPY -vs- SPY. Few funny things here and there. Not really Dane Cook comedy, but scripted crap. Like i said it had its moments.

Cook Fans, now dont go and watch this movie and have all high expectations. But it is a funny.
Check it out.
I never really did see Jessica Simpsons Beauty til now. Its from her neck down. Seriously.

Im out

SCHOOL FOR SCOUNDRELS
Watched it last night. It stars John Hedner, and Billy Bob Thorten.

This movie is basically about a guy who has very low self esteem, especially with this one girl in his apartment. But it goes beyond that, kids don't even want to be his little bro in the big brother program. His buddy hooks him up with a guy who teaches guys to have better self esteem. But not your regular self esteem class this goes well beyond that. He shows him to be tough, gives him the rules about dating, makes him believe he can do anything. Kinda like guidelines. Johns character becomes the best in the class, that it starts a feud with the teacher. Who is trying to hook up with Johns girlfriend. As part of test, maybe?That's when the fun starts.
You got some time check this one out. Its gots lot of laughs. But if you havent seen Jackass do that 1st.
Other noteable actors were Sarah Silverman and Horatio Sanz.

JackAss 2
Aight so i saw Jackass 2. I really like the 1st one and i really liked this one. They did a lot of crazy stunts some that made me almost throw up. Yeah it was a little crazy.
It stars the same cast from the original. So the expectations were high.

I really cant go into much detail cause it like the original. Its like watchin a long uncensored episode of Jackass on MTV.

What im tellin u is to go out and watch this one. Show the support so they can make the 3rd one.

Caution though, this one is not really for the week of heart, or stomach.

Its about and hour and half long. But you wont really feel it.

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.

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.
