The Day the Earth Stood Still

OR The Day Hollywood Made An Epic Message Movie. Yeah folks, this is everything I thought it would be. Hollywood preaching to the World and especially America that we suck and shouldn’t be living on Earth and that everything we do is wrong and that aliens should come kill us all.

Shut up Hollywood! Kiss my butt and shut your mouth.

Keanu Reeves plays Klaatu, an alien who comes to Earth to get a report from another alien on if Human’s should (more…)

Australia

If you want to watch a film about the WWII era of Australia that packs an hour and a half into 2 hours and 45 minutes then Australia is for you!

Honestly, this is how you present this movie? You’d say the same. Don’t try to think you wouldn’t! Australia is such a simple premise for a movie with a very simple story and it attempts to create something epic…but if fails.

Nicole Kidman plays Lady Sarah Ashley who comes to Aussie land to fetch her husband. She gets to use her native tongue of British English, isn’t that fun? (more…)

Punisher: War Zone

What an explosive fun fest! By the way, I don’t mean explosive as in guns and bombs…no sir (although there is plenty of that in Punisher) I mean as in exploding heads! I’ve never seen so many exploding heads in a movie.

Bottom line is Ray Stevenson = Frank Castle aka the Punisher. He makes Punisher a very, very realistic character. You gotta understand that I’m a HUGE Punisher fan. Its my fav Marvel character. Why? He got screwed out of his good life and so, he takes justice into his own without the use of fancy tech or super powers. Castle just uses his spec ops training and vengeance as fuel to ignite those who do wrong and get away with it. Underneath, he dearly misses his past life and his dead family. What’s not to love? This is a real guy and Stevenson pulls off the baddassness (yeah I just made that word up) of Punisher and the deep sadness of Frank Castle. (more…)
