Easy A ...Dirty minds may think this misleading

This review is on Easy A. Before seeing this movie I had heard from a veriaty of sources that this was a good movie. Well...eh ok they were right this was a very funny movie. Emma stone plays kind of a quirky outcast in school who just wants to be noticed. In getting said popularity she pretends to sleep with numerious males for gift cards. Gift cards O.o ...right. Well upon recieving a fifty dollar gift card from said gentleman caller she shall either take them to a party or some kind of gathering and "have sex with them". Amanda Bynes whom should really stop playing highschool roles. I mean really your in your mid twentys if you can't get better roles or even be a comedian then stop, just stop. But back to Amanda Bynes plays this hyper religous girl that belongs to every club in school and has every intent on shoving her religion down everyones throats. My first thought was Mormon, but I was mistaken. I digress, her intent is to try and get Emma to see the wrong in her doings by ridiculing and publicly humiliating her. She was just shy of gathering a lynch mob I'd think. Oh well it all goes down hill when teachers get involved but I wont go into details. This movie was sidesplitting at some points, Emma did a very good job playing her role. I give it a 3 out of 4 I hope to see more promising work from her in the future.

Devil, going up please.

So this review is on Devil, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, but to save my fingers I shall just refer to him as M. Knight, or maybe just Knight? @.0...Anywho the movie Devil was...well kinda predictable, in some cases don't get me wrong it wasn't a bad movie in any sense. And for the most part it kept you guessing and on your toes, which is what the movie desperatly needed because the scary factor just wasn't there. And who knows maybe the aim wasn't met for scary rather than suspense. I did quite enjoy the slowly getting to know the people that were trapped in the elevator, and devulging their dark little secrets. There were a few parts that bugged me, I wont reveal anything for those who havn't seen it, and if you have you may know what I'm talking about. The thing that dissapointed me in this movie is that there was no twist! O.o What the hell Knight? I know your last few movies with "twists" were complete garbage but come on. I should have been releaved but the matter of fact was I was let down, I expected it, its his trademark, and the jerk did not deliver. ...Oh well it is definatly worth a one timer, would I buy it? Only if I had a real desperate need to increase the size of my movie collection. which I dont. I give it a 2 out of 4. Nice try M. M... M? What does M even stand for? >.< Try making Signs two or something...

The other guys, yeah that sounds about right

This review is on The Other Guys, with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Though they are quite mismatched the duo wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. This movie was very funny, I think Wahlberg was trying a little too hard with the comedy but other then that it was hysterical. The beginning of the movie had to have been my favorite part, I could not help but laugh out loud, Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson and Sam Jackson were hilarious in the few minutes that they were in this movie. And my hat is off to the two of them, they made that movie for me, hell I wish the movie was about them. Though they were stupid I feel confident when I quote "There goes my hero, watch him as he goes." LOL n.n god that was funny. To me at least, that song was placed perfectly in its scene. The relationship between Will and Mark's characters kinda felt like an abusive husband and his abused wife, whom later comes out of her shell slowly. There was and wasn't chemistry between the two, I just didn't feel it. And there were some plot holes that I'm sure no one cares about because they were their for the laughs not the story. But analyzing the plot is kinda my thing, there for I must! The plot starts out with a jewelry store being robbed to avert the attention off of a bigger crime, an investor with plenty of clientele with him losses billions of dollars and tries to recover the money by taking it from another source. Yeah the plot is all well in good but it kind of lost my interest and I just wanted more jokes. I give this movie 2 1/2 out of 4 it's basically a long joke with a mediocre punchline.

Inception, the stuff dreams are made of

This review is on Inception, words cannot express the greatness that I saw in this movie. Christopher Nolan has done it again, creating the masterpiece that is Inception. This movie is full of twist and turns, that delves deep into the recessions of the mind having you think and still enjoy the movie. Inception is very complex giving layers upon layers of detail but allows you to easily follow. This movie reminds me of a 3D puzzle, when upon finishing the puzzle your actually starting to build a second layer of puzzle forming another picture, then adding other layers forming different pictures until it is complete showing the grand architecture of the puzzle. I had in the past made fun of "DeCrapio", in all honesty he is not a bad actor. The movies that he has starred in have been some of the greats in the past. Inception is no exception to the list of good movies that he has been in. Leonardo DeCaprio, playing roles like this, and showing how polished his acting skills are. He is definitely shaping up to be one of the greater actors of our time. Ellen Page has come a long way since Juno (which wasn't long ago) A movie of this magnitude, and the great work that she did will be key in landing her in bigger roles. Joseph Gordon Levitt, who I have not scene much of recently was absolutely remarkable. He played his role as if he had been acting with this level of skill his entire career. So it is safe to say that the acting was more than just spot on, there is little praise that I can give that could show the quality of the acting that I had witnessed. This movie can potentially be a large stepping stone for these two actors to further their careers. Inceptions plot line is simple but highly complex (if that makes any sense...) Leo and his team do certain jobs of invading peoples dreams and steal ideas from them. The world that is created by the architect of the dream is so real and life like that the person who is dreaming would never know they were asleep. But I don't want to give anything away, there is little that I can say that can explain without giving much away. The first ten minutes of the movie sinks you right into the world and throws your head for a loop. But is easily caught onto and even easier to follow. But this tool that Leo uses is not limited to just them, from what I caught onto anyone can use it which would be a scary and dangerous thought. Upon leaving the theatre I heard people say that they didn't like it, these people I would come to think had very little or lack of imagination. They need everything to be drawn out in crayon and numbered, they are to simple to think deeper about a story's meaning. Or even allow their minds to think for themselves and decide what to believe. People like that piss me off for their lack of vision. While still leaving the theatre I admit my eyes became slightly watery for the joy that I had felt for seeing this movie. It has been a long time coming where I can consider another movie to be added to my list of "Greats" and I will gladly clear a spot on my shelf for this movie. I have scene so much garbage to finally find the treasure that I had been looking for. I give this movie a 5 out of 4 I found my unicorn, it didn't take as long as I thought it would, but I found it. I encourage everyone to see this movie and open your mind to the endless possibility's that it possesses. Remember, the only thing that limits you is the vastness of your imagination.

Predators, what the hell is with this rule of three?

This review is on Predators, and let me get back to this rule of three. What the hell is with there being three predators in these newer movies? I will warn you now, the previews are a lie, and one of the scenes are very misleading. When Adrian Brody is standing amidst a bunch of rocks at night and all of these predator red dot sights cover his body makes it look like there are several predators. ...Well that scene never occurred, and only three predators made there presence known in the movie with a fourth in the wings. What I did like and thought was innovative, the director Rodriguez took initiative in creating separate factions of the predators. The smaller ones which are the predators that we all know and love, then there are the bigger ones that are the main hunters in the movie. Though this move was unfamiliar a change and some back story was welcome, and allowing us to know that these two factions were at war...or at conflict with one another. The story starts off with Brody free falling through the air onto the alien planet. Not really a sound opening to a movie but it has significance during the rest of the film. The plot of the film is very simple, stay alive and kill them all. I am a fan of this franchise, I truly am, I collected the alien versus predator comics, I had the predator toys when I was a kid. I loved the original movies, the AVP films were terrible, and in this movie I sought after redemption. I didn't get all I wanted but enough to satisfy me until something better comes along. I give this movie 2 out of 4. I don't know what could bring this or the Aliens franchise's back from the brink. But this movie was a good start.

Dispicable Me, its so fluffy I'm gonna die!

This review is on Despicable Me, with no real surprise I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny, very well voiced, the jokes were quite funny. Though I may have thought more things were funny than most people in the theatre. But I was told and sort of agree that the best parts were shown in the previews, which is kind of disappointing. The movie should be consistent with the jokes and not have to rely on a few good ones. The story starts off with a man named Gru, a super villain...well a has been who has been out shined by a younger villain. The ultimate goal is to steal the moon, but in order to get the moon he must obtain a shrink ray. This is where the main plot of the story takes place trying to get a hold of this weapon, thus forcing Gru to jump through hoops to get it. Steve Carell did a very good job voicing Gru, it didn't even really sound like him. This movie showed the value of family, and the bonds of love that can melt an icy heart. There wasn't much wrong with this movie other than the lack of jokes. Although I do admit that my favorite characters were the little yellow minions. They were so funny they could get there own short film. This movie gets 3 1/2 out of 4 Not good enough to be great.

The Last Airbender, not for the die hards

This review is on The Last Airbender, and first I'm going to make something very clear to everyone. I have never seen the show, this review is not a comparison between the movie and the show or trying to make some kind of relation between the two. This review is solely based on what I saw in the theatre, and let me tell you this is one of those rare cases where I agree with the news paper review of the movie. This is one of those movies where I could have easily spent a good five hours watching without break. There is so much going on in this movie that it can not be told within a mere two hours. Second, there needs to be a map at the beginning of the movie, I was a little confused at all the locations that were shown. The story starts off with the Fire nation waging a war after the Avatar had gone missing a hundred years prior to the main story line. Finding out that they don't agree with the spirits in their world that guide them. When the Avatar is awakened by two unlikely kids in the water nation a bright light flashes alerting the banished prince of the fire nation. From there when everyone finds out that he is the Avatar kind of acting like a "Jesus" in that world, and that he is the last airbender everyone is after them. The trio, the two water kids and Un (the last airbender) make a trip north going from village to village. Each of them extremely small which the fire nation had taken over, which makes me think that the fire nation are bullies rather than war mongers. The children playing the onslaught of main/sidekick characters didn't do too bad of a job acting...for rookies, better than the Twilight fags. Plenty of fine tuning is in order for the next couple of movies. The visuals were absolutely gorgeous, none of it was real, but the imagination was easily taken away by them. Striping away the arguments about the comparisons of the show, and people not liking M Night Shamalon. I found myself enjoying this movie though it had plenty of flaws. Though my biggest complaint is how the movie ended, which I have heard continuously, it ends abruptly leaving plenty of questions unanswered. And at the pace this movie was going it will take at most 3-4 more sequels to end...unless they drastically speed things up, but that's my assumption. I wouldn't mind seeing another Airbender but there is too much story to cover, and with the children aging so fast it would be impossible to do within such a short time. The 3D was and wasn't there, it was very hit and miss, and to have the movie only showing in 3D in most area's is kind of low. Trying to force people to pay more for a movie is a very low trick indeed, a movie shouldn't have to rely on underhanded tactics and trust in its ability to entertain the masses. I give it a 3 out of 4 plenty of polish will do his movie good to make it a true gem.
