Prometheus Review

Introduction: Ridley Scott is a fantastic director. When it comes to visuals, environment, style, and just the world itself he does a fantastic job. He really knows how to make a breathable world and you can see this in his other films like Alien, Blade Runner, and even Gladiator. And when you start watching Prometheus it is actually pretty good. It's builds up tension and mystery...or so it seems. As the film progresses less and less things make sense and the film degrades into stupidity with no resolution and you leave the theater thinking "Huh?" The reason that is is because the writer Damon Lindelof is f*cking incompetent. See Damon is the guy who wrote for the TV series Lost and that show had the same problem. In the beginning it started off good but as it progressed it became stupider and stupider and nothing was resolved. It's not horrible, but I wouldn't call it good...

A Six-Piece Review

Introduction: Sometimes when I watch a movie I just kind of decide not to write about it cause it was exactly what you'd expect and I wouldn't really be spoiling anything. And where is the fun in that? But sometimes people still want to hear my opinion on it. Almost as if they think I'll say something different or will have some insight. Well I think that depends more on the reader then the writer, I suppose. So here are 6 movies I saw that were exactly what you thought they would be, except maybe Battleship. But I'll get to that soon.

The Avengers Review

So let's tackle the looming question; why the f*ck is the Avengers so awesome? Is it because the acting is top notch? Or maybe it's because the actions scenes are directed to perfection? Or it could be that the special effects look amazing and realistic? Or is it the dialogue and script? Well it's all of those things, but the thing that really makes it so awesome is just that the movie actually works. This is a film that combines such genres as war, fantasy, sci-fi, action, spy thriller, and even horror. The fact that it combines all of those things perfectly and works on every level is actually a miracle. This mainly due to Joss Whedon who is renowned as a man who can juggle genres and multiple characters seamlessly. Gawd bless him. Without him this film would have sucked.

The Three Stooges Review

Introduction: I know that some of you reading this might be thinking that I'm going to totally rip this movie a new one and talk about how awful it is to see movies like this still being made. I know that some of you watched the trailer and when you did your hearts filled with hate and anger and grabbed your pitchforks in retaliation to this movie. So what I'm about to say might actually scare you; The Three Stooges isn't that bad...

Lockout/ Blue Like Jazz/ Cabin in the Woods Review

Introduction: F*ck, this was a busy movie weekend. I actually can't believe how much time I spent sitting down in a theater burning my eyes out. So I decided to do another trifecta on movies. But before I start I just have to say this; go see Cabin in the Woods. It's an amazing movie that I keep hearing people say is like Hunger Games. IT IS NOT LIKE HG. That movie was a simple post-apocalyptic story. This is something completely different and I reallllly don't want to give it away because it's THAT good. See it. Now back to our reviews!
