Watched this movie on HBO called "now you see me" some kind of magician themed ultra cool bank robbery police action drama... Really pretty good flick.. Lots o car chases, Chics, action, and an above average final plot twist.....

 
Got a doozy for this review, Contracted.

Let me cut to the chase. What an absolute waste of a potentially awesome storyline and plot. I wanted to watch it because it sounded good on Netflix and it only got one star. "why only one star? let's find out." And boy howdy, did we ever find out! There were so many points and conversations in the movie that were never developed. What is this "thing" she was accepted to attend? To what did all of that spent money go? Also, the stupidity of these characters is unreal. This girl is sick... like REALLY sick... and she waits and waits and waits to go to the doctor. And this doctor is an absolute imbecile - from everything he saw, he never recommended hospitalization. And a guy who has a crush on this girl must have shit for brains. Finally, this "sickness" was NEVER explained. This thing just happened. That's it. Boom! You're sick from something and no one cares to find out. Idiots.

Awful, awful movie. Zero stars.

 
Saw the Winter Soldier over this past weekend for LadyFox's b-day. It was really good. Lots of good action and I really like C.A.'s character.

 
Last Action Hero

I've always liked this movie. Great entertainment for a couple of hours. Boy likes movies, watches many movies, friends with movie projector man, man gives boy "magical ticket", man gives boy first shot at new Jack Slater movie, BOOM, boy is now in movie. This flick is filled with cameo appearances from other film characters - T-1000 from Terminator 2, Catherine from Basic Instinct, etc... Just a fun, cliche-filled, Ah-nold shoot-em-up movie. Brainless entertainment, if you will.

Good entertainment and guns. 3.5 stars.

 
watched the second hunger games movie last night. Kinds of a let down compared to the first...really the the mid point of story to be continued in the third movie. i really need to read the books.

 
Ok. Last one today. I promise.

Texas Chainsaw

Not much different from the other TC movies. This one is just irritating because the young kids in this episode are just SO... F*CKING... STUPID. "Hey, we're in a van driving away from a large man with a heavy chainsaw. We're approaching an automatic opening iron gate. Let's ram through it!" The main character, Heather, is only in this movie because her boobs are quite large and she flaunts them and her curvy figure through the entire movie. There's even a scene late in the movie with gratuitous side boob action. So, aside from Boobs McChestington running around all sexy and stupid-like for two hours, you have leatherface, chainsaws, guns, fires, blood, and dismemberment. All tickmarks checked in the classic horror / slasher checklist. I'm just not a particular fan of this installment because of the exaggerated stupidity of the characters, especially the kids.

All in all, it's a brainless movie where you spend about half the time yelling at the characters asking, "WTF are you doing?" It passed time and that's about it. Two stars.

Alexandra Daddario (Boobs McChestington), though, gets 4.5 stars. Hulk would definitely smash.

 
I watched We're the Millers the other day. I thought it was pretty damn funny. I'd definitely recommend it to lovers of stupid comedy.

 
Watched the Godfather trilogy over the weekend. Man, I forgot how bad #3 was.

 
Has anybody else seen the new Captain America movie? I was surprised at how good it was. I dare say I liked it more than the Avengers, though I may be biased since I just saw it. Highly recommended.
