Can't fall asleep.

Aight, so we all know Robert Englund is Freddy, but Jackie Earle Haley is given a chance.

Nightmare on Elm St. is a story we are all familiar with. People try not to fall asleep cause they are haunted by a plastic looking man with claws.

The Film was actually well done in my opinion. Not to gory, not to over the top.. but pretty nice. Overall, I can say I was entertained.

The acting was surprisingly well.

The worst part of this movie is Freddy himself. Haley did a good job, but his dialog is so bad. They try to give him some good one liners but they fail miserably.

You should know what to expect when you go watch this flick, and you won't be disappointed. I am giving this flick an orgy out of a cherry pit (4 out of 5). I know the review is short, but get over it. It is pretty much to the point.

Next weeks movie is Iron Man 2.

Are they really losers?

So, if you think the Losers is going to be similar to the A-team, give yourself a gold star. It's a story of some kick-ass soldiers who get framed. The only thing that's missing is a gold wearing, mo-hawk headed fool pity-er.

I am not sure why similar movies come out in this fashion. It is really a pain in the ass. It's like all the writers in Hollywood pitch the same fucking idea at the same fucking time. I guess they figure if you pay to watch one of the films, you might pay to watch the second. Don't believe this is a problem, here is a Sporcle quiz dedicated to such a topic. http://www.sporcle.com/games/jmgand01/Similar_Movies

Although I mentioned the story line seems all to familiar, the storyline is something I actually liked. It was well told and I was thoroughly entertained.

The acting was done very well to. The group of kick-ass soldiers worked well together, and they each nailed their roles, giving each soldier a unique character will still adding to the cohesion of the group. (Pulled that shit out of an old high school English paper.)

The action sequences were put together almost as well as the movie itself. A couple different techniques were used at different parts of the movie, but it still goes over well.

So, what's wrong with this movie. Some cheesy ass dialog is what's wrong. Like cheesier than your fingertips after you just realized you just ate half the bag of Cheetos.

However, that is the only real flaw I can find in this flick. Since that is the case, I give this movie an orgy out of a Cherry Pit (4 out of 5.)

Is the movie really Kick-Ass?

First off, I really didn't know much about this flick except a dude dresses up to become a super hero and then some others do the same, and that's pretty much it.

Well... that is the case, but shit hits the fan. Turns out there is a lot more going on. So much so, I really don't feel like disclosing all the information. Sorry peeps.

I will say I did like the story line, and I even got into the movie. I thought it moved a little slow at first with all the character introductions, but once that was out of the way, it really wasn't that bad. The main issue I had with the story line is that I felt it couldn't make up it's mind to as whether or not the movie was going to be a comedy or full out action flick. It is a little of both with some good one liners and scenes here and there for laughs and then a bunch of gore and death in the next. It really isn't the best combination and I don't think they pulled it off.

The acting was very cheesy at times. This by far was the worst acting by Nicholas Cage that I have ever seen. However, Lyndsy Fonseca was pretty cute, and Chloe Grace Moretz nailed her role. Maybe Cage should stick to finding national treasures or stealing cars.

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to like this flick. Me, on the other hand, thinks was a decent attempt to try something new by combining comedy with action, but they could have done without the similar Spider-man storyline in the beginning.

I have to give this flick a threesome out of a cherry pit (3 out of 5).

Date Night is exactly how it sounds

So right off the bat, I am going to tell you I am biased against Steve Carell. I really don't care for the guy or his movies. But I am going to try and put those feelings aside for the sakes of this damn review.

Date Night is about an average everyday married couple who try to go out of their routine, and it basically goes to shit. Not just any shit, the kind of shit that you call Waste Management for at three in the morning and hope you don't get a fucking answering machine.

The acting wasn't bad. Although I don't really like Steve Carell, both him and Tina Fey did a decent job. It definitely wasn't Oscar material but it wasn't a complete waste. Pretty mediocre.

The movie has a really dry humor and I honestly didn't find it that funny. However, the people in the theater laughed, so I imagine at least some people will find it humorous. I didn't really laugh that much, but I did crack up a time or two.

The storyline is really off the wall (not quite like Michael Jackson's). It takes you on a wild ride and it really doesn't make a lot of sense, but honestly, who says it has to? Reminds me of watching Harold and Kumar as they try to go to White Castle, which is actually a story line that I really like.

The best part of this movie is definitely the ending. Although I thought it was a little far fetched, the way it concluded really got to me. Maybe because I am a sap for some of that shit. Watch it and you will know what I mean. Plus the out-takes were pretty funny.

Since I mention that you should watch this flick, I have to give this movie a threesome out of a cherry pit (3 out of 5). It is definitely one you should try and watch with your babe :):):)

Clashing with Titans

Ok. I like the original film. There is something to be said about play-doe looking objects in older movies that just seem pretty cool. There are several references to the original in the new movie, but besides that, I am going to try and judge this flick as an independent and not constantly compare it to it's predecessor.

Clash of Titans takes on a story of some pissed of men rebelling against the Gods. The Gods don't like this, so they threaten them to sacrifice this great looking chick within a certain period of time or they are going to release some bad ass monster called a Kracken.

So here in lies a huge problem. If you have seen any kind of preview for this movie, and odds are that you have because they have been promoting the shit out of it, you already know that shit hits the fan and this Kracken is released. Because of this knowledge, you could probably skip through the first hour and 45 minuets because you ultimately already know how the story is going to play out.

Not only that, but the storyline itself is really rushed. Apparently the complaints that Avatar was a little to long were heard, so they drastically cut this visual masterpiece down and the result is a fast pace story line with some cheesy one liners added here and there to try and give the characters more personality.

The acting sucked. Sam Worthington plays the same roll as he does Avatar. Liam Neeson makes for a crappy Zeus. Alexa Davalos and Gemma Arterton gave me some great eye candy, but it wasn't enough. I think there were several contributors to this piss poor acting including the fast paced story line and the crappy dialog. By far, the best acting comes from a supporting role of Liam Cunningham. Didn't even know there were two guys named Liam on this planet, but he did well.

The visual effects were pretty nice, but it was way easy to tell they were fake. I thought some of the looked crappy at times.

If you hadn't figured this out, I really didn't like this movie. It is a crappy re-make that is going to try and gets peoples attention using the summer blockbuster formula of hero, good looking girl, big problem, bigger monster. I have to give this film a one night stand out of a cherry pit (2 out of 5).
