Movie Review for "Predetors"

 

Over all I expected so much more. In my opinion "Aliens Vs Predator" was SO much better. However, the action and fighting did live up to the predator legacy. Oh, and the story line, WHERE DID IT GO?! There were some unexpected events that made my eyes widen. As for the main character, this would have not been my first choice. Good, yes. But NO. His voice does not match him and even though he has some muscles, he looks puny. Its like walking up to your classroom "nerd", ripping off his glasses, throwing him in the movies, and telling him to talk in a deeper voice. Doesn't work! He in no way made me feel like he was a bad a$$. The ending though, yes, love it! Definitely a renter for the "Predator" fan, but also, a good movie for the average "movie buff".

Robert Rodriguez presents Predators, a bold new chapter in the Predator universe. Adrien Brody stars as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors mysteriously brought together on a jungle planet. But when these cold-blooded human “predators” find themselves in all-out war against a new breed of alien Predators, it’s the ultimate showdown between hunter and prey.

 Treme: The Complete First Season arrives n MarchHBO Home Entertainment is bringing Treme: The Complete First Season to DVD and blu-Ray in spring.
Treme is one of New Orleans oldest neighborhoods, an important center of African-American and Creole culture, especially music. The series highlights the role this unique district has in the Crescent City and tells the interconnected personal stories of the musicians, teachers, restaurateurs, radio deejays and community leaders who endure and thrive in the wake of the disaster. Treme: The Complete First Season begins three months after Katrina, more than half the population of New Orleans is elsewhere and much of the city is wrecked, muddied and caked in mold, while other neighborhoods  in the sliver by the river, as locals call it  remain viable. But the tourists have yet to return, the money that follows them is scarce, and residents can take solace only in the fact that the city's high levels of crime have migrated to Houston and Baton Rouge. And for those returning, housing is hard to come by, with many people waiting on insurance checks that may never arrive.
Filled with engaging stories about the vibrant culture and music that makes New Orleans distinctive among American cities, the bonus materials allow fans, as well as new viewers, to immerse themselves in its flavor and rich heritage. The DVD version includes three Featurettes, titled The Making of Treme, offering a behind-the scenes look at the series featuring interviews with cast, crew and historians, Treme: Beyond Bourbon Street, an exploration into the history of the neighborhood and its innate ties to song and dance and The Music of Treme, a guide to the songs featured throughout the series via an in-episode viewing mode. Also included are five audio commentaries with cast and crew and ten music commentaries with WBGO's Josh Jackson and NPR Music's Patrick Jarenwattananon.

Updated Movie Review of "Date Night"

This is a great movie. Makes you take a look at your personal relationship. (Singles= You still will laugh your a@@ off!) There are some serious parts in here. Some situations that everyone faces at times. But it is always followed up by something cooky and unpredictable! You get to laugh that serious thought away! Just "food for thought" type thing going on in here. Make you understand the opposite sex a lil bit better, if you understand what I mean. MEN say good things to your woman so she actually knows that you care, appreciate, and love her. Things like this is forgotten. WOMEN make sure you let your man know that you feel the same by doing the same. MAKE YOUR FEELINGS KNOWN! Then there is no rut. NOW back to the movie.....

They play a wholesome couple from Jersey. They are sweet and think they in a rut. They have the best relationship that everyone looks for, only they dont realize it. At the attempt to keep their relationship fresh, they decide to go out of the norm of their everyday lives/ "Date Night" and do something exciting. TAKING A RESERVATION. This is the root of all their evil for the night. They were a couple through it all though. Even though they encountered F-ed up things, they were still laughing together. Guys grab your gals, and gals grab your guys sit back with some popcorn and WATCH IT and WATCH IT NOW!

Movie Review for "Grown-Ups"

YouTube Trailer

Ok, we rate our movies by the "Shut Up Meter". This is on a 1-5 scale. Rated by how many times you told your kids to be quiet during the movie because you are interested/involved in it. 1 being, "Yeah, I love your drawing. But let me watch this movie." UP TO 5.. "I TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST TIME! IM WATCHING THIS MOVIE! NEXT PEEP AND YOUR GROUNDED!"
Ok, so going into this movie we knew that it was going to give us a few laughs. ADAM SANDLER! Happy Productions is amazing on how they deliver humor!
Not to be a "spoiler" but a few parts MUST be mentioned. In my opinion the trailer does NO JUSTICE for this movie. You snicker at the trailer but fall out while watching the movie!
1. DAVID SPADE > CLOSET > DOG! YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH, you do the math! LMAO GREAT STUFF!
2. Arrow Roulette! I would never have imagined this game. It is NOT what you think it is. Its dangerous. But it does have a couple parts in this movie that just made my eyes water!
3. Full Body Cast... No, not from the roulette, but something even more ridiculous and funny. Again, great stuff!
This movie was over all amazing. For a comedy it definitely kept you guessing what was going to happen next. I mean come on, comedies are predictable. NOT THIS ONE. This movie is DEFINITELY A ----------------------> "SHUT THE HELL UP!" That's right. We gave it a high 5!
So, if your reading this, and you've had a shitty day, and of course have NOT seen this movie... Get off your a@@ and RENT IT!!!!!!!!!

Movie Review - "Kick A$$"

 YouTube Trailer

Ok, we rate our movies by the "Shut Up Meter". This is on a 1-5 scale. Rated by how many times you told your kids to be quiet during the movie because you are interested/involved in it. 1 being, "Yeah, I love your drawing. But let me watch this movie." UP TO 5.. "I TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST TIME! IM WATCHING THIS MOVIE! NEXT PEEP AND YOUR GROUNDED!"
First I must say that the previews are a bit misleading. You are expecting a great comedy. There are a few laughable parts, yes. Over all this is more of a drama. Even though it deals with super hero's it is still down to earth. You can relate to the characters, shows family love and loyalty, high school days being the "nerd", and hope.
It has unexpected twists. There are predictable parts, only because it is following in the hero movie format. But there are parts that made me go, "Hmmmm!" It did make room for a 2nd. Which I will definitely watch. There is more main characters than Kick A$$ that helped make this movie a must see.
"Nerds everywhere... UNITE!" :)
Our rating for this movie is----> 5 "Go to your room, NOW!"
