Friday The 13th: Killer Cut

Thursday Jun 11, 2009

Friday-the-13th-Logo

OK, I’m not going to sugar coat this one. The Friday the 13th: Killer Cut remake directed by Marcus Nispel was far from entertaining. Well for me at least. I say that because I was one of the many who saw the originals when they first came out, but for those who are new to the whole Friday the 13th world, then they may get a bit of entertainment out of it.

I put together a clip that was rather difficult to do because it’s pretty much the same throughout the entire movie. Just senseless killing with no real story line except a guy looking for his lost sister, but even with that the movie goes off the storyline a lot.

[Javascript required to view Flash movie, please turn it on and refresh this page]

this is something you might just want to watch to kill some time on a dark and boring night. Or maybe a slasher movie fest party over some weekend where a bunch of buddies get together to party and get drunk while watching horror movies. I dunno, I’m just sayin’.

I didn’t care much for the movie, but it was a time filler for the night there was nothing but re-runs on TV.

Get the Friday the 13th: Killer Cut DVD for home viewing in a cold dark room. Then you just might get into the movie, but not THAT into the movie.

Watch it if you wanna’, but I wouldn’t recommend it for those who grew up watching the originals. Or rent it from Blockbusters using your free trial.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Saturday May 30, 2009

x-men-wolverine

Pretty neat teaser trailer huh? Your welcome. :P

If you haven’t already seen X-Men Origins: Wolverine and are a fan of Marvel or not, I suggest you see this one. It will help clear up a lot of questions on how he became to be and just how he ended up with the others mutants at that school from the other movies. It will also explain why he didn’t remember his past from those other movies too.

Wolverine lives a mutant life, seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately ends up going through the mutant Weapon X program.

There is a lot of answers answered in this film, things that I have questioned when I saw the first few X-Men Movies have become answered. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of answers too if you are not a comic book fan and just saw the movies as I did.

The action isn’t thick as you would expect, but the story line completes the movie without it becoming to boring. But there is still a lot of good action to be seen, and it’s well balanced with the story. So action seekers and and plot seekers will enjoy this one too.

This is a definite start to another trilogy of the X-Men series. This one was about Wolverine, there is a shit load of other Marvel heroes that we need to see just how they became to be who they are now. So expect more like this to hit the big screens soon.

Now I’m not a Comic Book fan, I’m a fan of the movie trilogy. So I can say that in my opinion that the story on how Wolverine became to be was very entertaining, but as far as the die hard comic book guys out there, I can’t vouch for theirs as far as accuracy is.

Just watch it, you’ll be glad you did. Go see it or rent/buy it, it’s actually a very entertaining movie.

This is just my opinion, and you’re entitled to it.

Lesbian Vampire Killers

Monday May 25, 2009

lesbian-vampire-killers-logoNo they aren’t lesbians killing vampires, but vampires that are lesbians. If you’re into that knee slapping type slapstick comedy, then Lesbian Vampire Killers is sure to get a few laughs out of you

This movie kind of reminds me of the movie Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. It’s has the same type of comedy and storyline to it.

For some reason, I find myself drawn to the British version of horror comedies.

Their women having been enslaved by the local pack of lesbian vampires thanks to an ancient curse, the remaining menfolk of a rural town send two hapless young lads out onto the moors as a sacrifice.

OK, before you start rolling your eyes and making comments that I’m a pervert, thanks for the comments BTW, but this isn’t a porno and a nude fest of naked women, . . . Unfortunately. It’s actually a very funny comedy where some vampires, who just so happens to be a lesbian vampire, curses a town and the curse causes every female that becomes the age of 18 to turn into a lesbian vampire.

Little do two best friends who decide to take a break from the rest of the world’s rat race and think a hiking trip will help them feel like they have accomplished something actually accomplish something epic!

This is nothing like your traditional vampire movie. In fact, I don’t believe there has ever been a vampire movie quite like this one. It’s original in it’s own way. Funny as hell and a hell of a laugh.

It would be unfair to say that the acting was bad as you would expect from most ‘B’ movies, but the actors in this flick pull it off and make it more than a ‘B’ movie. Heck, It was actually good enough to say it wasn’t a ‘B’ movie.

Now I’m not familiar with the UK actors, but I bet these folk can walk proud along side of Simon Pegg or Martin Freeman.  Some may disagree, but this is just my opinion and you’re entitled to it.

Are you in for a good laugh? Then check out this title if ya’ get the chance. You’ll be glad you did..

Star Trek – Movie – (Video)

Monday May 11, 2009

star-trek-logo

If you haven’t seen the latest Star Trek Movie yet, then you had better get your asses in gear and catch this one while the getting is good. Even if you’re new to the whole Star Trek world.

This movie starts off by throwing you right in the thick of things with non stop action and awesome special effects that will blow you away. The previews and trailers don’t do the movie any justice at all, so hopefully this video snippet will let you get a nice juicy taste of what you can expect.

The cast they put together for this film was the perfect choice in my opinion. Each cast member fits into their role perfectly. Even Chris Pine makes a few William Shatner moves and comments we trekkers are familiar with. Zachary Quinto almost looks like the original Spock Leonard Nimoy used to play, who also plays in this movie as the Older Spock.

A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members.  


I was a bit thrown off (**Spoler alert STARTS**) when Spock and Uhura lock lips. I don’t ever recall them being romantically involved in the TV Series. (**Spoler alert STOPS**) I hope I didn’t ruin that for anybody, but if it was in the TV show and I just didn’t notice then I didn’t spoil anything.

I have to say that I wasn’t actually expecting this movie to be that good. Jonathan Frakes sort of screwed it up for me with his scrappy directing skills with Star Trek: First Contact and Star Trek: Insurrection.

If the last couple of Star Trek movies gave you a bad taste in your mouth like they did mine, then forget you ever saw them, because this one directed by J.J. Abrams is kick ass awesome! Even if you’re not a Star Trek fan but are a Sci-Fi fan, you’ll agree the whole movie experience is worth giving it a chance.

I will admit that I kind of wish they didn’t go the whole time travel story line again though. I think that genres has been done to death. Although they could have dome something different, the whole story of the movie was still pretty good, despite the time travel part, especially how each crewmember came to be part of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

I can smell se sequil coming around the corner very soon.

I’ll be watching this again when it comes out on DVD, it has replay value that’s for sure!

Billy Bob Boo Hoo Thornton

Wednesday Apr 22, 2009

#Billy Bob CBCBilly Bob Thornton used to seem like a real alright person to me, at least up till the past few weeks that is.

His little outburst on CBC and yet more ass-hat comments on Kimmel have me wondering if he’s the next actor to go nuts like what’s his face that gave up acting to be a rapper. If he does, I say good reddens.

The way I see it is that if your in the public eye and are a big time celebrity, then you should expect to be asked questions about your career. Both Acting and Musical.

So what if you made so called agreements to not talk about acting, just answer the simple question anyway and don’t make such a big deal about it. The audience didn’t know about a so called agreement, so really didn’t give a crap anyway.

He says he doesn’t want to mix his music career with his acting one, but I bet that it won’t be long until we see one of his cover songs playing on one of his movies, that is if he hasn’t already done so.

To me, he’s getting his panties all up in a bunch over nothing. That’s just my opinion and you’re entitled to it.

Monsters Vs. Aliens

Tuesday Mar 3, 2009
mva-bob

B.O.B

I can’t wait for the Monster Vs. Aliens  movie to come out. It looks Hilarious! I’m a sucker when it comes to CGI or Computer Generated Animation!

This is going to be one of the funnier Animated movies that I have seen in a long time I think, just by watching the trailer I know we are going to be in for a laugh fest!

If you don’t believe me, then go ahead and watch the trailer and see for yourself!

I can already tell that my favorite character is going to be B.O.B.. If you go to the web site and under the Dossier tab, and read up on B.O.B’s file, you’ll see he’s very much like myself. For example, B.O.B. has no brain, therefore no filter. Whatever he thinks is said immediately.

I can’t wait to see this movie. Although it’s going to be in 3D, I would rather see it in normal version because I find them different colored glasses hard on the eyes and they make the color all fucked up.

Meh… Nothing for me, thank you.

Thursday Jan 22, 2009

No computer, or one that has the power to run my programs, to use or play with. No PlayStation 3 to play with, and just one day off.

I was trying to make up my mind if I should go next door and pick up some beer for after work since I’m off tomorrow.

After putting the above things together, I realized. It would make for a pretty boring night.

I wouldn’t be able to Photoshop, animate, or produce any movies for fun, while in a drunken state.

I have no PS3 to play and compete against online players with.

So I will just come home and watch CSI, The Office, and The Eleventh Hour which I will have recorded on my PVR while I’m at work.

There. That was an easy decision

Update: The rest of the weeks till I get a replacement Hard Drive for my other computer will be pretty much the same. Plus, my schedule for next week isn’t that great either.

I’ll be working 3 – 11pm all week with Sunday and Wednesday as my days off. WTF??

UPDATE #2: Blaaa… Who was I kidding…?  Got my beer. Should have knowen the ID10T calls would drive me to drink tonight.
