That's The Way I Like It

Who says you can't mix Kung Fu with Disco?

Hock works at a local grocery store, with the dream of someday owning a motor bike, the only catch, it cost's 3,000 dollars, he then finds out about a dance competition that the winner get's 5,000 dollars, well, split down the middle with your dance partner. He brother comes to visit to tell them he wan'ts to be a women, and needs 2,000 dollars, his father is just outraged at him, and orders him to leave. Soon, Hock enters the disco competition  in hopes of winning the money.

Wow, I just loved this movie. The acting is pretty good, I loved the music in it, granted its all disco music, theres really no one in the movie you will may or may not recognize but, the cast is good, for the role there playing.

This movie takes place in Singapore in the mid 70's, which explains why disco is such a big hit in the movie.

That's the way I like it, came out in 1998 and I saw this movie when it first came out, via VHS, and ever since then, I loved the movie, just everything about this movie, the humor, the story, the music, everything.
I've been on the hunt for this movie, since about 2004, when the VHS broke and I was kind of bummed, not till just a couple months ago I just happen to find it in a DVD rental store for sale even. So, well, I bought it.

If you love Disco, Kung Fu, dorky humor, and just a good time period. Then watch this movie, you probably won't regret it. It's just an overall fun movie to watch.

I give That's the way I like it, a 8/10

Almighty Thor

Yes, I bring yet another Thor movie, makes number 3, yet I also have a fourth to, but I'll wait with that one.

This sad movie is about Loki on his quest to get the Hammer to destroy everything in his sights for power. After Thor's Father and Brother are killed, It's up to Thor to kill Loki and restore peace.

What a pathetic movie! You know a movie is bad when there's burnt out actors from the 80's in it that for some reason, can't act anymore, and out of work wrestlers trying to act and play a god...

The acting was the worst part in the movie, and the shitty CGI with a terrible plot, and a terrible script, that makes you think a 10 year wrote it. 

For some reason, the only place on earth they go to is, LA, go figure. This one is by far the lamest of lame Thor movies. 

They made Thor in this movie to be quite the little whiny bitch. Also, Thor's brother was the worst actor in this movie, I laughed when Loki killed him, Whoops, I gave away a major plot point. Not. Was a crappy 1hr 30mins of my day.

If you guys need to see a Thor movie, watch the new 2011 Marvel movie, Thor, you know, the one with awesome CGI and acting. Or, the Animated Marvel Thor movie, either one, just not the shitty Sy-Fy versions.

I give, Almighty Thor, 1.5/10

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

The 2nd installment of the very epic series, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. 

We meet up with Jack Sparrow who has a quest to find the key, to unlock the chest which holds the heart of Davy Jones, the person who controls the ocean. After setting out for it, Jack and Will team up, Will is out for the compass that Jack has, once he has it, Elizabeth will get free from her imprisonment. When Jack finds the Flying Dutchmen, Will sets on board, only to get ambushed by the real ship, and taken prisoner, Will stays on the ship in search of the key.After finally finding the key after a match of, Liars Dice, he finds and takes the key. Now Jack, Elizabeth and Will are after the Chest, which the heart controls the sea.. 

This was a very epic sequel. The acting was just perfect, the humor was actually kind of dulled down compared to the first one, there's a ton of CG in this movie, including a monstrous Kraken!

The music in this movie was just amazing, all the songs truly fit each scene.Yes, I never commented on the soundtrack to the 1st one, was also epic. There, I said it. 

I just love how with this one, each person wants this and this, and the characters end up crossing path's with everybody at some point without trying, except for a few parts.

I also very much loved the very last scene, huge give away to who's in the 3rd one, but that's to much of a spoiler.

Just about every character comes back to reprise there role, and do it oh so well. Just makes for the perfect sequel. And this one, is not one to be missed. Only makes me want to watch the 3rd one.

I give, Dead Man's Chest, 8/10

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

My review of, Pirates of the Caribbean

Mainly this movie is about, Captain Barbossa tracking down a lost coin from a treasure chest, that once they removed a piece, they became cursed. Captain Jack Sparrow goes to a town to steal another ship, after saving Elizabeth Swann, she gets kidnapped by pirates, the pirates think she is someone else and take her,  Jack meets up with Will Turner who helps him steal a ship to go out and save Swann. All three eventually meet up and Jack slowly without Will or Elizabeth knowing, turns them into pirates. 

2hours and 30minutes later, I'm very impressed and blown away, since this is the best pirate movie I've ever seen, and I've seen a few. Very good cast of actors that you wouldn't think to be in a pirate movie, pull this movie off with ease. 

Story/plot are so well done, the movie keeps your attention till the very end-credit scene. Acting is very well done, all pull of there character just perfect. 

The scale of this movie is just huge, so many people, huge effects, a ton of stunts. Just a huge movie period. 

I've always liked watching pirate movies, but never found a good one, till I saw this movie in theaters and was hooked on this series ever since the first one!

This review is number 1 of 4. Yep, spoiler is over. 2-3 will be out throughout the week with number 4 arriving on Saturday! Will also count as a slight countdown I guess.

Another thing I loved, is everybody's costumes, very real looking and made to impress! Everything about this movie is just perfect, I found almost no flaws, in fact, I can't really name any flaws, so I guess, It's a very wonderful movie.

I give Pirates of the Caribbean: 9/10

Yogi Bear

 

Hey, Boo Boo, I see another picnic basket! Nope, just two talking bears.

After Yogi and Boo Boo keep making fools of themselves the forest ranger asks them to keep hidden and act like real bears. Few days pass and the mayor decides to buy out the forest and chop it all down for money, now it's up to Yogi and Boo Boo to prevent that from happening.

I haven't been a huge fan of Yogi Bear, when I was younger I used to watch the cartoon some of the times, So I figured I'll give the movie a go.

The effects were pretty good, givin that it's two talking bears. I liked that they both sounded just like the original cartoon, that was good. Most of the actors were familiar, with some good acting, most of it was very dorky and very, very cheesy. Pretty much can't take this movie seriously, not one bit. 

I did kind of like it, my first live action CGI kiddy movie in sometime. You just have to like, weird dorky humor.
I give Yogi Bear, 6/10

The Hills Run Red

So it's about time I do another Horror movie, and well, It's awesome.

Tyler, who is very much a movie buff, finds online a movie from the 70's, which is a horror movie, after finding out that the movie never was finished or released due to its graphic nature, he sets out with a few of his friends to go and steal a copy of the film, after going to the middle of nowhere (of course) he and his friends soon find that, there the next chapter in the movie. Now they have to survive. Once they get there, they soon meet some kind of person, ( much like what they did with Jason and Micheal Myers) who is the lead killer in the movie, who is kind of creepy looking, but to me, more like awesome looking!

I found that this movie was awesome, the acting could of been better, but I loved the story, I found it to be very much unique. The only downside is, I only saw a couple actors that I knew from other works, which is fine, but the rest of the cast (to me) are unknowns. 

There is a TON of gore in this movie, well that is when they get to this farm. The kill scenes were just awesome, you get to see someone get split in half. I thought that was just epic seeing it. 

I first rented this movie cause I wanted a horror movie to watch, and it more than satisfied me. Sure the first like 10mintues were kind of slow, but after that, the movie just picks up and is a very good Horror B-movie, yes, B movie. Not a big A movie, but it's still very good.

I give The Hills Run Red a perfect, 8/10

The Mechanic

Is about a Mechanic named, Bishop who does "jobs", after recruiting Steve to be almost like his predecessor, Steve finds out Bishop killed his father, and slightly goes after vengeance, followed by a nice twist at the end of the movie.

This movie had enough action/pretty good kill scenes/acting and twist to keep me through to the end. Movie wasn't really that great, just kind of, ok, but still worth seeing, that is if one of your favorite actors is in it. I like how they say "Mechanic" as a hitman type of person. To me that's kind of unique. 

Some of the action scenes were somewhat over the top but, pretty entertaining. 

I don't really know what else to say about this movie. This was a pretty A to B review. The movie was good, but not SO much stuff happened to have a huge review like most, you know? 

Anyways. I give The Mechanic a 6/10

I Love You, Beth Cooper

I Love You, Beth Cooper, is about a very geeky guy who, on graduation, gave a very big speech in front of all the seniors. He pointed out who he loved (beth cooper) and pointed out who is lame/stuck up/gay/retarded/stupid/ect,,, making him a very big target. After he sets up a house party he invites everybody, Beth Cooper shows up at his party as a joke. After a series of weird events, Denis and his friend Rich and Beth's friends all get a car and travel the night away, which even more bad/weird stuff happens.

 I've gotta say, I avoided this movie for a few reasons. All reviews of this movie were awful. The ratings made it seem like a very terrible movie, but, after turning on, Showtime, I decided to watch it, and well, I liked it. 

The acting was actually not that bad, the plot was kind of generic but better than most, the actors in the movie were actually pretty good, and a lot of humor that kept me laughing till the credits. 

I was surprised I liked it givin the very bad reviews. But, can't judge a book by its cover because someone said it was shit. 

I give, I Love You, Beth Cooper a nice, 7/10

Thor

Alas, The all mighty Thor, the one we were all waiting for is finally out.

After getting casted out by his father Oden, Thor has been banished to earth as his punishment. He then soon meets up with a couple human scientists who help him try to get his hammer back after it was in-cased in a rock and then soon taken by SHIELD who is trying to figure out how it works. After some pretty intense fight scenes Thor's friends come down to earth to help him get back to his home, he then learns the truth and battles it out with his brother Loki. 

Wow. This movie was just an epic movie. The acting was just great, the effects were amazing and the story kept me till the very end credits cause of the end-credits scene. I've always liked the legend of Thor, and now that marvel finally made it into a live action movie, it re-opens my interest in the legend. Just, wow. This movie was just so epic I want to see it again and again.
Thor has an awesome cast of actors/actresses in this epic movie. Acting was so well done made me just shocked at how good this is.

The only thing I didn't like, is that they never really hinted at a sequel like all the other ones, there could possibly be one, but I'm not really counting on it. But, Thor is coming back on the big screen in, The Avengers. To me, The Avengers could be Thor's sequel or something, maybe.

If you like any of the marvel movies, or just the legend of Thor I highly recommend seeing this movie right away, you will not be disappointed at all.
I have noticed, ever since the Reboot of The Incredible Hulk, the marvel movies have been getting better and better, which is just awesome, so there is hope for The Amazing Spider-Man...a little..

I give Thor a mighty 9/10 for just being an amazing epic adventure!

Thor: Hammer of the Gods

 

Thor: Hammer of the Gods is about a guy named Thor, who is with his army of knights? I don't know. But he soon starts to have this visions of this, mighty god like person, to find out that its actually him, then he searches for a hammer, that once belonged to him from another life, but he didnt know that. Till know. 

The movie sucked ass, everything about it. The script/props/acting/cloths/CGI/EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE SUCKED ASS!!!!!
This movie did air on the Sy-Fy network, which explains all the bad acting, shitty effects, and boring and lackluster story.
Plus, this movie wasn't even historically accurate, for one Thor has a modern low cut Mohawk! The ladies in the movie have WAY to much makeup on, and. Back then, men wouldn't let women fight with them, they thought it would slow them down. Everything about this movie is wrong.
Sorry everybody at the SyFy network, but PLEASE STOP MAKING MOVIES!!!!!

I do not recommend seeing this movie, you will regret it. This review will be short, cause, well, I hate this movie, i only watched it to get in the Thor spirit, and thank god that Thor 2011 is out now.

I give Thor: hammer of the Gods, a poor, 1.5/10
