fired up

this is surprisingly not a bad movie. its actually very funny.

having said this i had the lowest of low expectations before i started watching but even still i'm going to stick with saying this is a good comedy. there isnt much else to say about it as it doesn't have much substance but that made it good.

saints and soldiers

set during world war 2, four americans flee a massacre of their division and struggle to return to allied territory. along the way they run into a british pilot who has critical intelligence in his possession and who also is trying to escape enemy territory without being killed.

this is a good movie definitely worth the watch, although it is a pretty stereotypical ww2 movie. once you have seen one of these movies, you have seen them all.

wanted

this isn't a bad movie if you feel like switching off your brain and ignoring all the laws of physics.

its just a mindless action movie, with some loose plot about an office worker realising he is the son of an assassin with awesome killing skills. one flaw in the movie which i found irritating was in one of the final scenes where jolie shoots a bullet in a circle around a room killing everyone. that bullet must be still spinning inside that room today, killing anyone who steps inside.

but again, most of the action in this movie would cause a physicist to cry blood.

tropic thunder

this was a good comedy, but nothing better than good.

robert downy jr. pretty much was the funniest aspect of the movie, aside from when jack black's character had his heroin stolen by a bat. tom cruise was quite impressive, playing a character that essentially paid out everything about cruise in real life - little man syndrome.

the humour was relatively inconsistent but it nevertheless was there.

quarantine

if you watch this movie at night in a dark room, its pretty motherfucking scary. i generally like scary movies and this one was satisfying. the editing was done well so that most of the movie ran seamlessly as if it were all one take.

i didn't really like how the movie ended, though i am not sure i could think up a better ending unless it involved a sequel. definitely worth a watch.

you kill me

this actually was not a bad film.

the story follows a hitman from buffalo who finds his alcoholism is getting in the way of his job. consequently he is sent to san fransisco by his mob to cool off, finds a job in a funeral parlour and becomes a member of acoholics anonymous.

ben kingsley plays his role very well. every time he is about to speak you feel like he is going to whip out a knife and slice your shit up however every time tea leoni is about to speak you feel like you are going to whip out a knife and slice your own shit up. it is well made but i find tea leoni (hitman's girlfriend) is just a fucking annoying actor.

aside from that it is worth seeing.

the hangover

pretty funny.

this movie would be fair shit without zach galifianakis. hilarious actor and plays his part very well. good to see a movie that keeps the comedy consistent throughout, however the film in its entirety is not hilarious. most of the time i found myself lightly chuckling at events rather than shitting my pants laughing.

ends very well.

transformers - revenge of the fallen

this is a good film.

if you want to see robots beat the shit out of each other for 2.5hrs then this is the film for you. the computer graphics are so amazing that you only know it isnt real because transformers dont actually exist(?).

the actual dialogue and human acting is pretty poor so most of the time you are just like 'shhhhh optimus is fighting.' towards the end, whenever a human had a line, it was so tacky and lame it hurt. the scene where sam witwicky asks his dad to let him go and fight was cringe worthy. it almost made me hope that the fallen would reactivate that motherfucker that blows up the sun and annihilate the earth.

maybe a bit too long but enjoyable and humerous in parts.
