Street Fighter (1994)
Everyone says its terrible but...
I first watched this as a young lad when it came out in 1994, i would have been in grade 4 at that point. I watched it as a street fighter gamer and loved the movie. I still watch it occasionally and I'm a 19 year old harsh movie critic. Now its obviously no Goodfellas or The Pianist, but for kids its a fun movie to watch and is pretty faithful to the games.
I still watch it and cannot understand why everyone thinks it is so terrible, i only see the massive gunfight between Van Damme and Bisons army as the only terrible part of the movie. Its not oscar material and was never supposed to be.
The plot has Bison (Julia) causing trouble in Shadaloo, some fictional pacific rim area I believe. He uses his drug money to fund his army in an attempt to take over the world. Guile (Van Damme) is a colonel in a fictional version of the UN, and is charged with stopping him, rescuing some hostages Bison has captured, and saving his old buddy. Now its personal.
Long story short, it obviously lacks in some acting, character developement etc. But on the plus side the fight between Ken and Sagat and Vega and Ryu is as good as gold.
People may think this movie is terrible, but i enjoy it for nostalgic reasons.
American Psycho II: All American Girl (2002)
what the hell?
So hear are my comments when i heard that there would be a sequel to American Psycho... and guess what? they were almost exactly the same as the author of "American Psycho" comments, that being: (if you havent seen the first movie dont read on!!!)
How can there be a sequel when Patrick Bateman didnt kill anyone? How did she "survive" his attacks if the only attacking was done in his mind? Its a pity they didnt just call it American Psycho 2 and have it non related to the first. Had this been the case it could be called a decent movie. It should have just been another American Psycho playing out crap in her mind, or actually doing the killing, but how does everyone know Patrick Bateman? He didnt kill anybody! thats what the last 30 mins of the movie tells you! I dont know how this movie was produced and i question Freemans intelligence making this movie, if he couldnt understand the first... granted its hard to understand, but you think youd talk to the author before taking on a project like this...
oh well, ill give it a 0 out of 10 as a sequel to American Psycho, but i'll give it a 6 out of 10 if you try and forget completely about Bateman and the side story the characters have with him...
MASK (1985)
Greatest cartoon ever
As a child in the 80's I grew up with the shows that required talent in creating. MASK, Transformers and GIJOES being good examples. Now instead of great animation like this i see Angela Anaconda and Hey Arnold on the cartoon channel. Shows that require absolutely no animating skill to create. MASK and other 80's cartoons required talent and could keep a child busy... MASK was a little known show but i loved it so much because it mixed the two biggest 80's cartoons(Transformers/GIJOES) into one great show. You had your heroes and villains wearing masks, fighting in vehicles like GIJOES. Then you had your transforming vehicles like in Transformers. This show stands as my favourite ever, it is a huge part of my childhood and once i sat in front of the TV to watch, nothing could pull me away. It is a damn shame this kind of programming isnt on anymore, but you probably know why, because its violent and will cause school shootings.(sarcasm)... If you liked 80's cartoons and by some odd miracle see MASK in your local video store, rent it if you liked 80's cartoons...
