Wow. I absolutely loved the first season of Spartacus and was so sad to hear of Andy getting cancer. I didn't think the show could continue without him. I was proved wrong by the first ten minutes of Gods of the Arena. The actor portraying Gannicus is instantly likable and I actually like him more than Spartacus. Spartacus is mostly melodramatic while Gannicus is just an egotistical cocky bad ass. By the second episode, the writers do such an excellent job that you actually care deeply for these characters and the horrors they face. Episode 3 went almost too far in the portrayal of the brutality of Rome. I just watched episode 4, and am still reeling at the awesomeness. The writing on this show is completely unrivaled, and they do not ever sacrifice reality for taste. The character development and raw emotion in them is so well portrayed through not only excellent writing, but insanely good acting. I will say that especially this season is not for the faint hearted, but if extreme gore, profanity, nudity, and VERY mature themes are not a problem for you then you simply must watch this show!

Kick-Ass
(2010)
Wow. Don't listen to the crybabies.
17 April 2010
This movie is very very good. I'm not going to go into why just know that its better than the dark knight. The real reason im on here is to counteract the lame crybabies. (roger ebert im talking about you.) Yes the violence isover the top. But this is a masterful movie and at the center of it shines hit girl. This movie isn't really about kick ass at all. Its about the story of big daddy and hit girl's revenge. Its a gripping tale that can only be achieved by extreme violence as the bad guys here are truly bad. People are way too used to the lame comic book bad guys that stand around and chat away giving the hero time to foil their plans. Not these guys. They don't f**k around. They will shoot you in the face and laugh about the way your head exploded. So to take them down calls for extreme measures. All i can say is grow the f**k up people and grow some balls. This movie works on every level.
Shutter Island
(2010)
Really????
19 February 2010
The main question going through my mind after seeing this movie was, Really? The whole time it seems rather obvious what is going on and i kept waiting for the big twist where i was wrong, but the end had no twist whatsoever and it ended exactly like you think its going to from the start. It dispels any illusion of terror or foreboding when you know exactly what is happening the whole time. This is a sad sad movie for the legendary scorcese. It wasn't a horror movie in the slightest and while it tried to be a phsycological thriller it never once pulled it off. Ben kingsleys character basically told you in the first 10 minutes how it would play out. I was hoping this was going to be good but i left very disappointed. Not recommended unless you can netflix it.
The Hangover
(2009)
Hilarious!!!
13 June 2009
This movie is definitely worth seeing. The entire cast is hilarious and the story is goofy but not silly. Think Harold and kumar meets road trip. I went in expecting a mediocre movie with a few laughs but i was laughing the entire time and it was just as good as knocked up or the 40 year old virgin. This is not your over done Vegas movie. This is 4 guys getting as fu**ed up as they can get in one night and then the hell they go through the next day. Without spoiling anything, lets just say it involves chapels and the Chinese. I will be seeing this movie in the theatres at least once more. Do yourself a favor and go see this movie.
Kill me but don't make me watch this again!!!

This was quite possibly the worst movie i have ever seen. And yes I've seen the pink panther and yes its worse. Ben Stiller, WTF!!!!! I have always enjoyed ben in many of his movies but after this cash cow abomination, I don't know if i can see him again without crying. I feel raped by shawn levy (again) and whoever produced this crapfest. Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon are comic geniusses but they must have been very very high when they wrote this follow up to a great movie. Please don't waste your precious money on this. Go buy a gun and shoot yourself in the foot, because that will be a wiser choice than watching this.
Terminator Salvation
(2009)
Surprisingly good!
22 May 2009
When I first saw the god awful previews and promo items i immediately lost any interest in this movie. The more i found out the more stupid it appeared. After it came out and i saw the reviews i thought, oh what the hell ill go check it out. Well i am pleased to report that i was pleasantly surprised. From the starting moments i was glued to my seat until the final awesome climax. And there's a little surprise for you in the final battle. :-) There is a good mix of action and drama though this is mostly an action flick. Sam worthington definitely steals the show from Christian bale who was a little stale in my opinion. This movie is definitely worth the money and possibly repeat viewings.
Angels & Demons
(2009)
Pretty good. At least not a snoozefest.
17 May 2009
I thought this movie was pretty good. I never read the book and never will. Its kind of predictable but way way better than the davinci code. The best word to describe this movie is Grand. Its very visionary and no doubt controversial, especially among catholics, but entertaining nonetheless. The opening was very very good and the movie had me riveted in my seat the whole time. The long boring conversations of the first are now replaced by tension and ticking doomsday clock. The race is on to uncover the truth and expose the secret behind the illuminatti. Tom Hanks offered a decent performance but i think Ewan McGregor was excellent as the carmelango. The girl was pretty much just there to throw another girl into the mix as she really ends up having no purpose whatsoever. So definitely go check this movie out.
The Spirit
(2008)
Worst movie of the year. Maybe ever.
27 December 2008
When i went to see the spirit I was expecting something at least resembling sin city or 300 since it was directed by the maker of those. this movie is nothing but a bunch of black and white slo-mo shots of the worst acting i have ever seen. It was like watching a daytime Mexican channel except i couldn't turn it off. Oh my god this movie sucks so bad. Samuel Jackson and Scarlett Johansen have never seemed so stupid to me before. It was like Samuel saw the dark knight and thot, "how can i make my villain look like a stupid and childish version of the joker?" If u have money to throw to the wind you would be better off flushing it down the toilet than watching this movie. Jump off a bridge, get in an accident, get shot. These would all be less painful than sitting thru this crapfest.
Gears of War 2
(2008 Video Game)
Best Game Ever!!! Bar none.
12 November 2008
Warning: Spoilers
When i first heard they were making another gears game i was naturally excited. But anything i had expected was far surpassed. I never expected an enthralling and emotionally gripping story from a game. Once i started playing i didn't stop. It has elements that will remind you of bioshock, dark sector, and halo. But it still manages to be a completely original and intense game. Everything that was annoying about gears 1 (sitting there like a goon when wounded) has been fixed and made way more interesting. You can execute a downed enemy many different and gory ways, you can create proximity mines by tagging grenades to the walls, or just stick it on an enemy and watch him helplessly suicide bomb himself. there are more kickass weapons and different types of grenades now. The only thing i didn't like about the game was that gears three isn't here yet. Anything you thot would be cool to do or see in the first gears you can do. (at one point you ride a brumak and a reaver) Basically if u could only have one game in the world, LET IT BE GEARS!!!!!!! GEARS 4EVR!!!
