2012

First of all, I watched a really bad copy, so Special effects and CGI count's be appreciate due to bad image quality.

Then, Roland Emmerich's movies are generally destroyed by critics, and in my mind Im one, so I'll just follow a tradition.

You could really enjoy this movie if you liked War of The Worlds and you are a retard. The main problem is the Script. THE SCRIPT! The whole thing appears to be written with a manual. First, characters. Remember Tom Cruis, Dakota Fanning and Justin Chatwin as the Ferrier family (War of the worlds)? We had, divorced parents, little girl who likes his father but recognised that her mother's boyfriend is a successful man too, then the a bit older kid who is kinda fighting with his father and calls him by his name. We have Dad as a working man who has some things he likes but waits to do them after his shitty job. And we have Mom, she is happy with his new acquisition but still have feelings for his ex.

So, in 2012 we had, well, THE EXACT SAME CHARACTERS. Seriously John Cusack is the father and some never seen before actors play his family, WotW model.

Acting was another BIG problem. This just shows how unprofessional Emmerich can be. Spilberg hired top of the range people, Cruise, Fanning, Tim Robbins, etc. Here we had Cousack and well, no one else worth mentioning o yes, I was forgetting, it's just that his acting was so bad that my mind automatically forgot him , Chiwetel Ejiofor , I had seriously forgotten this guy!

After the Family factor (WotW), we had the black guy factor (Independence Day) with Chitahajdasdasdas or however his name is spelled, and with "The President". This is based on a black guy who practically saves the world.

Then there was the political bad white guy (Independence day too (James Redhorn))

There was also the save everyone no matter the cost factor, the I generalise and stereotype Russian people as fat and wealthy factor, the all arabs are evil factor, the new husbands can die and no one cares factor, the little smart girl factor. They were all in!

Seriously, he had a manual. The Emmerich's guide to a badass Hollywood box office burner.

The story had holes as big as lunar craters.

But still, the worst part is the ending. No no, I'm lying, the best part was the ending, as it ended my suffering.

If you want to see a better Emmerich movie go and rent Independence day, or just turn your TV on, its always on in some channel, or if not, something by Michael Bay , generally are much more fun and less depressing we are all gonna die, Armaggedon for instance.

Now, if you want to watch some seriously good sci-fi weird stuff, you can go watch something by J.J. Abrams, he is like the king of freaks, but produces great movies such as Cloverfield or Star Trek.

So, See you guys soon, and please don't waste your money by watching this in the cinema, its just not worth it.

Why YOU are so special

This is not a review, and the title is no the one of a movie. They say Rupert Murdoch can reach one of every six people or something like these. I speculate that about 3 of every 6,692,030,277 people read at least one of my posts here at the blog. So, only about 0.000000000042% of the world's population reads my blog. That means that 6,692,030,269 do not read it. the most VIP stuff aren't even near as exclusive as this.

So YOU yes YOU I'm writing for you, so do comment in the posts please.

Thanks Folks.

The Usual Suspects

Two nights ago I was looking for something to watch, regularly when I find nothing at the video store I just look which of my movies I want to watch again. This has made me watch Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Wag The Dog like a million times. This time I went for the Dogs, and as I reached to grab the video, this move just fell on me and it was The Usual Suspects. I knew this was a good one, and saved it for last night.

I started watching it and fell asleep exactly 13 minutes into it. Then woke up seven minutes later and rewind it, at this point I remembered what DF told me, "Its slow, but has some great last five minutes."

I gotta tell you this, Im not ruining the movie, but if you really like the whole suspense thing, stop reading this NOW and go rent the fucking thing.

With the tag line in my DVD was: "In a world where nothing is what it seems you've got to look beyond..." and that kinda gives it away.

The whole movie is really well made and I didn't think it was slow at any point. It was actually really intriguing and nicely made. But it is just too obvious. You might say that I'm just being smart and going like "O, no, iI got it from the beginning", but from half the movie forward, it was so obvious. Why? Money. That's the simple answer. Lets see, who acts in it, El Che Guebara (Benicio Del Toro) who could fit perfectly Sergeant Jew in Inglorious Bastards, Alex Baldwin's Brother, Kevin Pollak, and some other guys, and then we have Gabriel Byrne, who is a really great actor, but I think the character doesn't suit him. And last but not least, Kevin Spacey.

Now, why would you pay Spacy, who is the most expensive one here to make the whole movie if the movie is not about him? What really gives it away is how the other bad guys change and he is always the same. It might be the Hungarian Mobsters or the Argentine smugglers, but the whole think points at the cripple (Spacey). For example, as you might know, Marlon Brando appeared only like a minute in Apocalypse Now but still was the highest paid actor. Why? Because the movie was about him. About finding him. Here, the movie is abou his view, and each time it is a bit different revealing the whole story.

I think it is a really well made film, a bit overrated in IMDB with 8.7 and position #21 in the top 250. But still very recommendable.

Parental Advisory

After a couple of complaints of some men (Pictured Below) form a very small island in the north called UK (Although everyone knows that place ain't real) about my language, for using words like the S word (shit), the F word (Fuck) and BS (Bullshit) (But never the C word) I'm issuing this Parental Advisory. Now everyone can be Happy!

Assassination of a High School President

Its now quarter to three in the morning, and I am utterly confused.
I really don't know what to think. I've just seen Brett Simon's Assassination of a High School President, and I just don't know what to think.
The only reason I know who Brett Simon is, is because I just saw his only movie, which never got released.
Was this movie the best thing I've ever seen? Maybe not, but was it near?
Was this the worst piece of footage in the same film roll? No, as I've seen "Jeepers Creepers 2" and that definitely takes the prize.
But so, then what the hell have I've just seen?
Well, (Might Contain Spoilers) let me tell you what I've just seen. I saw Claire Trevor (Yes, the Queen Of Film Noir) fucking with Zack Efferon (Yes, Im misspelling his name and I won't Hyper-link him). Seriously, this was "Brick" 2. It wasn't as good as Brick, but I never expected it. The first 30 minutes I thought this was the greatest thing I've ever see, it was just making me laugh about it, and wasn't really sure if I was laughing at them, or at the way they are parodying american films. But then the whole thing just became good, in a really weird way.
Sorry, by this point generally in my reviews, you already know everything about the movie and how much I either loved it, despised it or was bored by. So, the story is about a sophomore teen in high school in USA, and how he wished to be a reporter, and as he is given the task to do a cover article on the High School President, a really superficial and stupid basketball player. The SATs are stolen and his boot liking story makes our detective to realise that is Mr. President who stole the exams. The thing is that all the time you are going like : "C'mon I wont buy your bullshit", but then in the next scene you go like "OOOOOOOO, I see now, how smart". And the whole movie is like that, even Bruce Willies is in it, acting as the headmaster, no offence to Mr I. D. Tate, but I would love to have Bruce as my Headmaster. The thing is that he is not just the headmaster, he is how his characters would be as Headmasters, because in the movie he is also a veteran from the first gulf war. So the whole thing is just, just, just, I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS!!
Now, the tricky part. Do I recommend this movie?
Yes, I do.
Wait! Do I?
Yes, after a lot of taught (that's bullshit) I do recommend this movie.
Now the thing is that I really want you to watch it and as it never got really released, I will be lending this DVD to anyone interested. Well, I think that is it, I should really get some rest.
Cheers!

Actors I Would Watch In Anything

There are some actors that can play anything and do it in such a way that they become the character, and others that adapt the character to themselves, for instance, Nicolas Cage, who I find to be a great actor, but when I'm watching one of his movies, Im watching him, not the character.
Jack Nicholoson is one of the greatest actors ever to set foot in Hollywood, and can play anything that he will rock it. For instance, he plays a great drunk in Easy Rider and a great psychopath in The Shining, and manages to be utterly charming in Something's Gotta give. This is because he makes the characters a part of himself and that's why he is so believable.
Sir Morgan Freeman goes just with Jack, from Driving Miss Daisy to The War of the Worlds, in which the only good part is his narrative. But he does fall with some technicalities when he is bought just for his name like in Bruce All Mighty or Batman (Good movies Which personally I just can't stand).
Anthony Hopkins is another actor who achieves to basically, win my heart and mid. He can be starring in a classic (Silence of the lambs / The Elephant Man) or being a suport actor for some really bad movie (The Mask of Zorro) but he always find a way to be the best. By the way, I saw one of his new movies like two or three years ago, Fracture, and it was more than descent, recommendable.
Sir Michael Caine falls into the same criteria as Morgan Freeman, as he is a great actor but Hollywood tends to use him for movies like well, Batman, again. But still, a MAGNIFICENT actor.
Michael Douglas is another example of a great actor. I think I like him so much because his characters represent what I wanna be. Still, he hasn't made anything really good, well I mean, his acting is great, but really, in which great movie has he starred? Any thoughts? Wall Street maybe, but still.... I think he should stop doing magnificent appearances in crappie movies such as Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, or The In-Laws. And do something really good ones in for all. (I was wrong, he made a good movie recently King of California, it isn't a masterpiece but it is nice, decent and fun)
(By this point I'm realising this are all old men)
Emma Thompson and Meryl Streep are both great actresses but their work tends to fall in my boring lists but still, great actresses.

Now for the Bias Part,
Tarantino, I really think that he is a great actor, in movies like From Dawn Till Dusk or Pulp Fiction (Bonnie), he is a really good actor, but maybe it is because i worship him so much (Except for Inglorious Bestards as you might have read recently).
Then I agree with DF (My films teacher) with Denzel Washington, (From Carbon Copy to American Gangster) and I just realised that we both have Emma Thompson. Al Pacino and Robert Deniro are both great actors that I would also watch anything with, but I think that is kind of obvious so I wont get into details. O and yes, Gary Oldman.
Ray Liota and Joe Pesci are two magnificent gangsta kind of actors that I was leaving behind.
Well, thats it so far.
Enjoy!

The Deal

Last night I watched this movie called "The Deal", the only real reason why a saw this is because William Macy is the protagonist, and I find him to be utterly fantastic and hilarious.
The movie is about this film producer who is bankrupt and hasn't done anything for like 8 years, his nephew interrupts him when he is trying to commit suicide and gives him his script, which gives him the opportunity to continue his career. As the movie develops, the excellent script turns into some kind of crazy Jew movie about a Jew who is some kind of black shwarsenegeregen and kills Muslims and stuff. The process is fantastically made and the whole time I couldn't stop laughing.
IMDB gave it it 5.8 but I think that people just didn't get it. Most jokes are basic, but they have a second meaning, and if you get them, the whole thing is marvellous. Seriously, I really recommend it, it was just what I wanted to see.
See you soon.
