HANNAH MONTANA

Hannah Montana the movie. If your a fan of the show you'll love the movie. It has all the same elements of the show. If you haven't seen the show you will now. Same cast, just a little change of scenery.

You got Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) going back to her home town in Tennessee with her dad Ray Stewart (Billy Ray Cyrus). Where she is just trying to be herself and not Hannah Montana. All goes to plan til some trouble starts a brewing.

I actually did like the story. Its very kid friendly. Miley for being only 16 years old, does have a bright future in acting. I'm not saying that its oscar worthy but she does put in all she can.

This movie was directed by Peter Clelsom. Same guy who directed "Shall We Dance (Jennifer Lopez), Serendipity (John Cusack, Kate Benkinsale), and Town and Country (Warren Beatty). I would say nice resume there.

I'm guessing with the 34 million it made this weekend which is the highest grossing Easter holiday opener. All the Hannah/Miley fans came out in full force.

OBSERVE AND REPORT

Jody Hill the guy who brought you "The Fist Foot Way" now brings you "OBSERVE AND REPORT"

Starring Seth Rogan, Ray Liotta, and Anna Farris.

When a flasher decides to terrorize a local mall, the head of securiy Ronnie Barnhardt (Seth Rogen) is called in to find the criminal. But when a local cop (Ray Liotta) is called in solve the crime. That doesn't go well with Ronnie and his fellow mall cops.Thats when the fun begins.

I was able to go the premier last night. Wow what a night. This is a movie you have to see with a crowd.

 The whole begining was freaking hilarious. It had non-stop laughs. Seth Rogen's character who BTW is also Bi-Polar makes it even more funny, also with the help from the supporting cast. Non stop laughs. Way better than that Paul Blart Mall Cop.

If you have time this weekend you should definately go out and see it. Just so you know it is rated R. So you know what that means. Yes I know you know what I'm thinking. There is nudity.. But not the kind that I like. For those that saw Watchmen and remember Dr Manhattans Blue Penis, well that was nothing compare to what they are going to show you in Observe and Report.

Hope this motivates you to go and check it out

FAST AND FURIOUS

Last night I was able to watch the newest film Fast and Furious aka part 4. Even though it takes place before Tokyo Drift.

This installement was directed by Justin Lin who also directed Tokyo
Drift. They also brought back Vin Diesil, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster.

Its pretty much the same as all the other Fast and Furious movies. But this one fits in between 2 Fast 2 Furious and Tokyo Drift. Its the 4th movie but its really more like part 3. Once you watch it you'll get what I mean. I don't want to give out too much about without spoiling it for you.

This ones story is basically, Dominic (Vin Diesil) going after the same heroin dealer as FBI agent Brian O'Conner(Paul Walker). They must find a way to work together so they can bring down the organization, that did them both wrong. Throw in a couple of modified car and some awesome muscle cars and BAM! you got yourself a movie.

This one wasn't that bad, but I still think that the 1st one (The Fast and The Furious) is still the best one.

This weekend go out and check it out. Its worth it. Plus you'll probably see a car show outside the theatre you go to. Just like how I'm looking out my theatre right now. All we need is some models and some music.....

 

I'm Wagner

and I'm out!

 

Don't forget to leave me comments. Helps boost my ego. lol

 

Check out my other blog where I just talk about all things beyond wagner.

MONSTERS VS ALIENS 3D

On March 22, I was able to go to the world premiere of Monster vs Aliens.

This movie was directed by Rob Letterman (Shark Tale) and Conrad Vernon (Sherk 2).

The cast includes  Reese Witherspoon (Susan Murphy), Seth Rogen (B.O.B), Hugh Laurie (Dr. Cockroach Ph.D.), Will Arnett (The Missing Link), Kiefer Sutherland (General W.R. Monger), Rainn Wilson(Gallaxhar ), Stephen Colbert (President Hathaway), and Paul Rudd (Derek Dietl ).

When a planet explodes and a meteorite enters the Earth's atmosphere, Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) comes in contact with it and soon she grows into a giant. Naturally, she is caught by the government and detained in a top-secret building with other monsters: a scientist who experienced a botched experiment to give people the live-span of cockroaches (Hugh Laurie), a gelatinous blob with no brain (Seth Rogen), a playboy fish-ape hybrid (Will Arnett) and finally, the chemically-altered Insectosaurus. When an alien leader Galaxaar (Rainn Wilson) attacks the planet, the President (Stephen Colbert) calls upon this group of monsters to help save the day. 

I actually enjoyed this movie. It made me laugh. I know its a kids movie but it did have a lot of adult comedy. With the All-star cast it had. It better make me laugh.

 If you have a chance go and watch it. Especially in 3D. BTW its cost and extra 3 dollars for the 3D effect. 

ADVENTURELAND

Written and directed by Greg Mottola, the same guy who did SUPERBAD.

Right off the bat your like yea should be a good movie right.

They even casted Kristen Stewart (Twilight Fame), Bill Hader (Superbad) and Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder).

With that Cast, it should make it even better right?

Wrong, I don't think that I even Laughed. Kinda of a downer movie for me. Could have been a whole lot better.

The story is about a guy who just graduated college in 1987 and is going to go to Europe with his buddies. When his parents tell him that they don't have any money to help him on his trip or his future at grad school. He has no choice but to look for work. Only place that would hire him is.... Adventureland. That's where he meets Kristen Stewarts character (Emily). This place helps him grow as a person, making new friends and romances.

 If your really high or something go ahead and check this movie out. Otherwise your going to be a bit dissapointed.

 

Up next is Fast and Furious. A.K.A part 4.

WATCHMEN

Directed by Zack Snyder. The same guy that brought you "300" which was another Graphic Novel Adaptation.

This compared to how 300 was made, this was a bit different. 300 was short and sweet. While Watchmen was a bit more longer and complexed. Watchmen wasn't all that I was expecting. Yea it was good that they made it into a movie but, it could've been speed up a bit more. There were parts where it did drag for a bit. But when there was action, there was action. It pretty much followed the original story. Some parts were changed. If you read the novel one major change with will be the ending. But I'm not telling you..

They could've at least put some pants on for Dr Manhattan (he is the guy that is all blue). Unwanted nudity

The one performance that I really enjoyed was Jackie Earle Haley as Walter Kovacs / Rorschach. He really brought the character to life.

If you have about 3 hours to spend you should go and check it out. I've seen it twice already. But thats just me. Otherwise read the Graphic Novel.

Notorious

Notorious tells you the life's and times of Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace. From a street crack dealer to one of the coast's most influential rap artist.

Its stars new comer Jamal Woolard as Biggie, Derek Luke as Sean Combs and Angela Bassett as Voleta Wallace.

The movie to me was bit bias towards biggie and bad boys records. Really made him seem like he was the victim in life. Especially after the incident that involved Tupac Shakur getting shot.

Overall the movie was OK, the Jamal's portrait of Biggie was good and convincing.

If you haven't seen this movie, go and check it out.

THE RUINS

A group of friends whose leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they, along with a fellow tourist embark on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the ruins.

 If you jump real easily you'll jump during this movie. otherwise.. wow 2 hrs i will never get back.

if you have the chance just read the book.

SUPERHERO MOVIE

After being bitten by a genetically altered dragonfly, high school loser Rick Riker develop superhuman abilities like incredible strength and armored skin. Rick decides to use his new powers for good and becomes a costumed crime fighter known as "The Dragonfly." However, standing in the way of his destiny is the villainous Lou Landers. After an experiment gone wrong, Lou develops the power to steal a person's life force and in a dastardly quest for immortality becomes the supervillain, "The Hourglass." With unimaginable strength, unbelievable speed and deeply uncomfortable tights, will the Dragonfly be able to stop the sands of The Hourglass and save the world?

10,000 BC

CLOVERFIELD

Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives.

Crazy movie.. The whole movie is film using a handheld camera. which makes the whole picture shakey.. if you do go see it be warned. its pretty much blair witch style.. U might get sick..

Also quick hint. during the last scene of the movie make sure you keep an eye out towards the water near a boat.. you might just see something..

RAMBO

Even though he is looking to avoid trouble, trouble has a way of finding him. A group of Christian human rights missionaries, led by Michael Burnett and Sarah Miller, approach Rambo with the desire to rent his boat to travel up the river to Burma.

After some of the missionaries are taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: to assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers

 Wow it had sooo much blood.. i freakin loved it. if you've never seen a Rambo movie. You should really go and see this one..

Untraceable

"UNTRACEABLE" is about a secret service agent, Jennifer Marsh, played by Best Actress Oscar nominee DIANE LANE who gets caught in a very personal and deadly cat-and-mouse game with a serial killer who knows that people (being what they are - both curious and drawn to the dark side of things) will log onto an "untraceable" website where he conducts violent and painful murders LIVE on the net. The more people who log on and enter the website, the quicker and more violently the victim dies.

Wasnt like other movies where you dont know who the killer is.. They tell you like 10mins into the movie.. but it worked towards the story.

Have some time check it out..
