Top 10 Jackie Chan Stunts

Sun, 26 Sep 2010 06:08:05 +0000

There is no one on this planet that doesn’t know who Jackie Chan is. He is a living breathing superhero in my opinion, the stunts he preforms are just mind boggling.

The list is composed by non other the the Angry Video Game Nerd himself.

Judge Dredd

Mon, 20 Sep 2010 08:34:28 +0000

After watching 12 monkey last month I really loved the idea of watching old movies that either I haven’t watched before or that its been ages since I’ve watched them that I don’t remember the plot and needed a refresher.

I dont know how Judge Dredd popped into my head but when it did I knew I must see it and it was on top of my list.

All I can remember that the movie is not that great but I really wanted to see it. Its based on a comic so how bad can it be?!……….wait I take that back

So, to sum it up the movie was Dredd-ful.

Terminator 2: The Opera

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:21:04 +0000

That was so funny, the nice thing is that it explains part of the Terminator’s story too, with a twist. I wonder why its not on Broadway yet?

12 Monkeys – Movie Review

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:42:50 +0000

This is a classic, back when Bruce Willis was cool. 12 Monkeys is a story about the annihilation of mankind after a virus was released in 1996 killing 5 billion people and the rest who survived moved underground to escape the virus. A few years later they develop the a gizmo that can make human travel through time and they send poor old Bruce back to 1996 to “gather information and a sample of virus in its pure form”.
As I said, this is a classic and a must see by any sci-fi fan

How Did George Lucas COme Up With This?

I just realized how stupid the plot outline of Star Wars sounds. I never thought about it until I saw the image above.

Salt – Movie Review

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 07:25:53 +0000

This was hailed as the best action/adventure movie of this summer. The action sequences were also compared to Bourn’s, which in my opinion has the best action sequences. The movie was pretty good action movie, it it kept me engaged during the whole movie. The ending on the other hand was horrendous, I mean it was equivalent to a bad horror movie ending. It was just ridiculous, or maybe its just me. I can’t say any more without spoiling it but overall it was a very good action movie.

Another M. Night Shyamalan Movie – Devil

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:50:26 +0000

It seems that M. Night (6th Sense,……. nothing good after that) is really busy these days as the trailer for his second movie this year is already hitting the inter webs and theaters. there is another video that has been pulled from youtube showing people laugh and “uhhhh” in disappointment when they see mister’s Shyamalan’s name pop on screen during the trailer.

M. Night Shyamalan’s name used to mean something, he was in a free fall since 6th Sense and didn’t produce anything even close to it ever since.

Inception – Movie Review

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:33:36 +0000

When I first wrote about Inception a couple of months ago I said that that it might be the best movie this summer, I mean the combination of Christopher Nolan and Leonardo DiCaprio is just bullet proof, right?

Yes, the movie was excellent. the idea of it is so complex and well thought and that is what I loved about it, of course great acting and directing didn’t hurt either. Cant talk anymore about the movie without spoiling it, the trailer already says a lot.

Sam Rockwell – This is How You Make An Entrance

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:23:25 +0000

Sam Rockwell (iron Man 2) was on the Jimmy Fallon show to promote the movie a couple of months ago. And he might just made the best entrance ever by any celebrity on a late night show.

Despicable Me – Movie Review

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 00:38:57 +0000

Me and 3 and the guys that I met up with here in San Antonio all went to Despicable Me yesterday. The movie theater had more adults than children and for a good reason. Steve Carell (The Office) was just amazing. It was one of the best movies I’ve seen so far its highly recommended for all age groups.

Toy Story 3 – Movie Review

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 11:54:41 +0000

Me and a friend went to Pixar’s latest installment of the their Toy Story franchise. As expected, the movie was very good and on par with previous releases. And its a Pixar release so of course its good.

Predators – Movie Review

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 08:27:52 +0000

Nothing spectacular got released last weekend, we wanted to watch Despicable Me but couldn’t find a proper time and so decided to go with Predators. I liked AVP so we thought this might be as good.

Whats different in this part is that the movie takes place in an alien planet where humans are hunted. the movie had its ups and downs and the typical twists.

The Last Airbender – Movie Review

Fri, 02 Jul 2010 05:28:18 +0000

I was really excited to see this movie, as I watched a season of the anime and found it to be OK. I thought The Last Airbender on the big screen would be great especially M. Night Shyamalan even though his last few movie sucked.

During the first 30 minutes I didn’t like the pace of the movie, I felt they were trying to cramp everything in 90 mins and for people who aren’t familiar with the series would easily get lost. Also the movie could have benefited from the action sequences that i think it was a missed opportunity mr. Shyamalan never did an action movie before so I wont hold it against him.

SPOILER ALERT
The movie just covers the first season of the animated series, so this should be a trilogy but I don’t think it will generate enough profit to convince Paramount to do the next 2 part.

Knight and Day – Movie Review

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 08:04:47 +0000

It’s been a while since I went to a Tom Cruise movie I feel that the guy lost his touch and his movies aren’t that great anymore. This movie is no different. It tries to mix action and comedy but it fails in both I would recommend watching The A-Team if you are looking for that sort of movie.

Grown Ups – Movie Review

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 06:03:58 +0000

Me and Zidaneoo went to see Grown Ups yesterday as our first movie in Houston, The movie is packed with all the big names of comedy as Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schneider and Salma Hayek. But that didn’t make the movie exceptional it is a good movie that started pretty stronlgly but the tempo came doen as the movie went along. Its filled with one-liners that really made us laugh.

The Green Hornet – Trailer

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:08:16 +0000

I just read Marzouq’s top 2011 SciFi movie list. I mentioned Super 8 before and I just saw The Green Hornet’s trailer yesterday and it looks good.

The Green Hornet is going to be released January 2011.

Jonah Hex – Movie Review

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 22:15:36 +0000

I have nothing to say about this movie other than it was really bad. I’m giving it a 1 star cause one of the guys says that its the best movie this summer so far :s

The A-Team – Movie Review

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 15:36:14 +0000

ME and the guys went to see The A-Team yesterday. After seeing the Karate Kid, it was a blast from the past weekend. The Movie had a pretty good score and based on one of my favorite show as a kid. So I had high expectations.

The movie follows the roughly the same insane vibe as the early 80′s TV shows with outrageous plans, stunts and its filled with comedy. Keep in mind this is not a proper action movie. Its just outrageous and unbelievable so don’t go to this movie expecting a believable storyline and escapes. But it was very entertaining.

The Karate Kid – Movie Review

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 05:38:48 +0000

I first mentioned the Karate Kid back in February. I’ve been looking forward for the remake of the classic 1984 movie of the same name. I don’t know about you but our generation grew up with that movie an the “Wax on wax off” phrase.

The movie was very good
(what Jackie Chan movie isn’t?), I didn’t expect it to be this good actually. it was entertaining, and filled with lines from the original.

The movie is highly recommended for both fans of the original and new comers.

Get Him To The Greek – Review

Mon, 07 Jun 2010 07:12:50 +0000

Get Him To The Greek was on my list of ” movies to watch” but it moved to the top of the list and I went and saw it today after it got recommended by NJ yesterday.

It might not be the funniest movie of all time but it might be this years funniest movie.

Jonah Hill (Super Bad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Funny People, and a ton of other movies) along with Russell Brand the weird British dude from (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) make a good team in maintaing the level of comedy in this movie.

Thanx NJ

The Expendables – New Trailer

Sat, 05 Jun 2010 22:33:06 +0000

What might be the best action star lineup in movie history, ,the Expendables just released a new trailer. I really cant wait to see this movie and I really hope that it wont suck.

The movie will be released August 13th.

Date Night – Review

Fri, 04 Jun 2010 05:34:34 +0000

Yesterday, with no major plan set for the day. I decided to go see Date Night as I was told not to even thing of going to see it in Kuwait because of censorship. After watching it I can see why and imagine how the movie was in Kuwait.

Its a decent movie, its not one of the classics for Steve Carell nor Tina Fey. nut still watchable. And yes it is still showing in the cinemas here.
