Kaydara

Like the Matrix? Well, you will love this short film!

Kaydara is a guy that is almost as strong as, The One (Neo). A bounty is put on The One's head, for a massive reward, some other hunters try to kill Kaydara thinking that he's The One. After some pretty impressive explosive scenes, Kaydara enters The Matrix where he believes The One is. Kaydrara comes face to face with The One, and the fight is pretty epic! Now it's Kaydara Vs. The One.

Oh my! This short film with a runtime of just 55minutes long, is pretty epic!

The Effects are just amazing, considering it's a short fan film. The acting is decent, not the greatest, but not bad at all. The story is pretty good as well.

Set I'm guessing sometime after the 3rd Matrix Film. I like how other people decided to put a bounty on The One's head. Only thing is, they never really said why, but maybe that's up to you?

I did love the fight between Kaydara and The One. At first look I thought it was a really good look-a-like, but then after watching it a little more, I found that The One, is actually a full CGI model. Was very impressive looking. Unfortunately we did not hear The One speak one word, which is no problem, but, he should of at-least something.

Kaydara premiered online today, on Daily Motion at first the pic, to me, looked like a video game, and was very impressed that it was based around the Matrix! So, watch it!

I couldn't find a Wikipedia page, or IMDB link, only the webpage, so I gave you guys the link!
Since I'm a huge Matrix Fan, I will be watching the films again, and give my reviews on the 2nd and 3rd film, since I still haven't done that yet!

I just can't stop being very impressed with the effects, almost on par with the first film, almost.
Like I said, Like the Matrix? Then watch Kaydara.
I Give Kaydara, 9/10


Watch Kaydara on Daily Motion!

Frank is a retired Black Ops CIA agent, who's been talking to a girl on the phone for I'm guess months, as almost like a fantasy, they soon decide to meet each other, only because Frank found out his calls were being bugged and he doesn't know why. Frank and Sarah meet for the first time in a pretty weird situation, Frank is off to find answers, where he meets up with his old pal's, Marvin, Joe, and Victoria who all worked together at some point, they all find that It's not the CIA tracking them down, it's, Vice President, who gave them all RED status, "Retired, Extremely Dangerous". 

Well, this wasn't that bad of a movie, just kind of slow, through out the whole movie, there was some funny bits here and there, and some pretty cool explosions and what not, but, it was only in a few scenes. The movie is basically the team trying to find out who wants them dead, which kind of got boring. 
When it was time for humor, it was pretty funny. Then when it was time for action, there was alot of bullets flying at explosions to satisfy, but only for the few minutes it went on for. Other than that, it fell a little flat.
The acting was good though, John Malkovich's character was my favorite, for being kind of crazy but great shot with a gun. The cast they chose was pretty good, they include
Bruce Willis ( Frank Moses )
Mary-Louise Parker  (Sarah) 
 Morgan Freeman (Joe Matheson)
 John Malkovich (Marvin Boggs)
 Helen Mirren (Victoria)
 Karl Urban (William Cooper)

That's only the main characters in the movie, there are a few extra's I didn't mention, cause well, you should just see the movie if you wan't to see them all. Soundtrack of the movie wasn't that bad, just sounded like your generic action movie music, nothing real special about it. 

I give, RED, 6/10

The Kids Are All Right

The Kids Are All Right is about, two kids with two moms, both kids are sperm donor kids, the son wants to meet the guy who donated, the sister (after doing some digging) found the form and got his number. Laser (the son) Joni (daughter) meet up Paul and ask questions and get to know each other. Paul soon meets the lesbian parents Nic, and Jules. After meeting them, the family starts to completely fall apart and a ton of drama starts to happen. 

Well, where do I start? This movie had good actors, that played there part pretty good. The story was pretty good as well. I loved how slowly, after meeting Paul, the family just starting falling apart, really showed how good the movie is. 

I liked the actors they chose to play the parts, just happy there not unknown actors, well, only like 2 people in the movie were, but they didn't have big parts. 

If you like this type of movie, with good actors and a pretty solid storyline, then this movie is for you.


I give The Kids Are All Right, 7/10

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End

In the 3rd entry of the Pirates Saga, we find that everybody still seems to be after the chest which holds the heart of Davy Jones, The East Indian Trading Company has it to use the chest as leverage against Davy to make him do what they tell him. Everyone was seeing a big change soon which ordered that all the Pirate Lords come together for a meeting to decide what they do, fight? or run?. Someone who you wouldn't suspect is a new captain of a ship, a trader appears to of been leaving bread crumbs for the ETIC to follow them, and an epic battle between ships happens leaving many people dead, and a new captain is hired.
Did my best about keeping spoilers out, since, there is a ton of stuff that happens in the 3rd installment. Again the music is just wonderfully fit in the movie. Everyone returns to reprise there character, which the addition of a ton of new ones including Jack's father, with 8 new pirate lords, all are exciting characters.
The action in this movie is darker and way more exciting than the previous two. The story is just amazing as the other two, which makes this the perfect third entry! 
Like the previous one, the CGI is amazing and even tops the second entry, with a very exciting end battle scene with an amazing storm which makes it the most epic pirates movie yet!
The humor in this movie actually even more dulled than the last one, which was dulled compared to the first one. Which is no problem, just means this one is more dark than before, which is good, means it's more serious. 
Like the other two, everyone without knowing it, gets entangled with one another in good and bad ways. 
This third entry is by far my favorite Pirates movie, so many reasons why. This one just tops everything in the previous installments and leaves you wanting more. 
I give At Worlds End, 9/10

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
