Free Popcorn Tuesday

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Todays movie is from the wonderful Sandra Bullock. I always enjoy her romance comedies. She has made me cry in the Lake House, and Two weeks Notice so many times. She tried to make me tear in this flick but it didnt work. It was a great film but not her best, Ryan wasnt at his top either but still a great movie to watch.

I went at 1pm to catch a matinee with all the old folks and have some peace alone with my bucket of popcorn. I had the row all to myself when I arrived and all of a sudden it seemed like a High School Field trip full of 15 yo girls stormed in all around me. I of course not being around a female in a while didn’t feel the same next too young smooth aroma of the opposite sex. I couldn’t eat my popcorn comfortable but well I managed since it was my only lunch.

Whatchin Obsessed

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

This is a Fatal Attraction remake but not even close. Beyonce needs to stay off the big screen cause she was just terrible. Shes cute and We all love that ass but I rather watch her ass on music videos. Now as far as Ali Larter…shes gonna haunt my dreams tonight. Her and Idris made this movie, beyonce just ruined this movie. That and the fact that we really wrent conviced at the story line. In Fatal Attraction and Swimfan (also a remake) the protagonist actually had an affair with the muse thus causing her to go pysco when he would leave them. Idris didnt even want to get a little bit of action. So Ali Larter had really no reason what so ever to go crazy. So basically I wasnt convinced the whole time, probablly why this movie really didnt do to well. If the directer would of at least let them pull a quick one in that bathroom, I would of enjoyed the film better. And gotten rid of Beyonce.

Terminator 4 finally after the terrible Terminator 3, we couldnt wait to see what we only saw clips on in all the movies. We saw the after math of Judgement Day. The post apocalyptic scenes in the other movies always left us wanting to see more of these battles against the machines. We still dont get to see that in this movie, I wanted to see all out war with the machines. We dont get to see none of this. Christian Bale did a horrible job at being John Connor, he was like stuck in Batman mode with that dumb ass voice. He was not acting like a leader, he didnt seem motivational to me especialy talking like that.

We do see some great chase scenes and the first helicopter scene looked amazing. I always enjoy the long scene with no cuts, but I dont think it was whole scene but sure looked great. I do have some thing I didnt enjoy but cant rant about it without spoilers so click more to find out.

Main reason for me watchin this movie is mister Tom Hanks. and of course a novel by Dan Brown. The novel for Davinci Code was certainly better than the movie. I didnt read this novel but it was really recomened if I enjoyed the Davinci. This movie does the whole clues and puzzels as Davinci but of course without the rediculas plot. One thing you do notice is the use of too much green screen. They coudlnt film inside certain buildings so they had to green screen it and it was really obvisious in some scenes. The novel was written before the Davinci Code but in the film they refer it to being after the events of DaVinci Code. Great movie, I took my mother to see since I knew it was gonna have alot of religious refrences. Other note is America like the only country that has like no history, the only real historical monuments are in DC and still those are still built pretty recent. Europe has buildings that are even B.C.

Top Movies of 2008

Friday, May 15th, 2009

Well 2008 was a great year from movies. Middle of the year now but I never came around to post my list of 2008. I must of gone 40 times to the theater and DL over 40 more movies. If I’m not sure about a movie I DL and watch at home. This is my list of My Top moives of 2008, not in any order

Ohh yea this movie was too damn funny. Grown ass men living at home acting like they are young. Balls on the drums was priceless. Gus always will always threatin you with putting their balls on it. I didn’t have a brother but i had a cousin about my age and we were basicly bros. He even spent a summer with me when I went off to college.

Vince Vaugh, I just don’t miss any movie of his. Their relationship at the begining was just a great showing on how couples are best friends. Reminds me of mine. *sigh*

I actually cried during this movie, and every time I watch it still. Ellen Page is great in this movie but she is not a high school girl. I don’t remember any high school chick in my years be so cool. If I knew a girl like that, that had so much in common with me I would be glad to impregnate her.

Watchin Midnight Meat Train

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

I dont really remember this movie ever going to theaters. Turns out only was released in 100 theaters nation wide. This movie would of done great in a world wide opening. This movie would done what Saw did. Saw was a low budget movie, as this was; Released by Liosgate, as this was. As you can see in the pic Vinnie Jones is the butcher in this train. Vinnie seem to not talk much in any of his movies, I guess he is all face, but in the movies where he talked and did great acting were in both Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. He played the hit man Bullet Tooth Tony. Which in Lock Stock it was his first film done on screen. The famous Guy Ritchie brought him to the big screen.

This movie has a great feel, some Jap director did some amazing job with the camera angles, I really enjoyed with they are fighting on the train, the camera keeps spining around. Bradley Cooper, you remember him as the Jack ass boyfriend from Wedding Crashers, is the photographer that catchs some images that brings him to this meat train. The movie has a crasy twist at the end, not a happy ending. Very recommend movie, like I said since it didnt make it to theaters the only way your even gonna find out about this movie is seeing on the shelves of Blockbuster or Netflix.

This weeks movie is Shia LaBeouf‘s Eagle Eye. It starts off very strong with Shia getting threaten to do many things. The very cute Michelle Monaghan is also involved in these threats being done by the phone. She was wonderful and just made me fall for her in Made of Honor movie. I remember her for the first time in the Mission Impossible 3, but she didnt really catch my eye. Now she looked great in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but in MOH she just made me fall for how she was the guys best friend then realized they were ment for each other. It just brings back so much of memories. Weeeell, back to Eagle eye, this movie has some great action car scenes. Shia is turning into a great actor, he is very easily going to become the new Tom Hanks or Tom Cruise. So far this guy is just making blockbuster after blockbuster. I really enjoyed the high tech gadgets the show up throughout the movie. They showed all the Sprint phones in the movie, mostly the HTC Touch, even a Nextel phone. Great movie, must see.

Watchin Hellboy

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Ron Perlman fits great in this role, he has the look and the character. First movie tells us the story of where he comes from and whats his job. He works for a special paranormal division of the FBI dedicated to fighting badguys, well from the paranomal. He is orginaly from Hell, he is destined to be evil. Since he was raised since a child he has nothing but good in him. Once again proves that its all in the childs environment on how he develops his character. Hellboy had his comidic moments in the movie with some great action against evil monsters. Story line is ok, basically he has to chose if he wants to fallow his distiny of bringin hell to earth thus bringing on the Acopolypse. Hellboy 2 was in theaters about 2 months ago with some very impressive visual effects. The artist from Pan’s Labyrith was involved in created in underworld and the Golden Army. The story line was decent, some prince from acient times wants to control the Golden Army in order to take the world back from the humans. Story kind of draged while he was fightin some giant flower monster, but once they reached the Golden Army it really picked up on the action. It got silly when Selma Blair is prego from Hellboy, come on thats just not possible.

Watchin Get Smart

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Steve Carell is one silly dude. I do enjoy his movies, even his less comedy dramas like Dan in real life, but he brings his own humor like actin into this movies. In Get Smart I was expecting a little more action since it is a spy movie, maybe a little more I Spy remake. Which by the way didnt get much attention either. The movie had its comedy moments and obviously Steve Carell was perfect for this part. The store line was just wrong for the movie, it went wrong around the end when they bring a bomb into the USA. It just wont happen, they should of just stayed in Russia just like about 80% of the movie pretty much was. As for Anne Hathaway, she did an ok job, she was not sexy enough for the role. She didnt quite fit the role to be the sexy spy girl. I guess she just isnt sexy enough for me. LOL great rental for the entire family.

This week was the movie Babylon AD. This movie was a serious waste of my time. It started up pretty well while in a 3rd war Russia if I’m not mistaken. Looks like mercs run the country and he is contracted to smuggle a girl to USA for a good about of money. Probably about the first 45 min were ok to watch, some action, some future tech. The seem to have some sort of passports were checked I’m gussin through DNA, he revices some king of injections that gives me a new DNA I guess IDK. The movie was draggin and draggin. He ends up being killed and then put back bionicaly to finish off the movie. The girl wasnt really explained what her purpose was or what real powers she had. Ending didnt really have a point to it, they kind of rushed it, about 30 min before the movie ended you can kind of see Vin Diesel looking at the camera saying “Get me outta this Film” Kinda dissapointed giving that he hasnt been on screen for 2 years. We just gonna have to wait till the new Fast and Furious.

This weeks movie is Death Race. Jason Statham just looks good in movies. His accent just adds baddass mofo to anything he says. Its a remake of Death Race 2000 from 73 with David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone. The begining of the movie is very true about the country doing so bad economy wise that crime is out of countrol. I mean I will do anything to feed my family, even illegal things. The race had some video game feel on it. They had to run over a sword button in order to use guns and over a shield to use the defense. Out of all the cars I liked the 350z that the chino had. Its a good movie to go see but your girl might want to go see House Bunny.
What was very unexpected in the previews was the new fast and furious movie with the orginal cast from the first movie. I’m gonna go with possible storyline between the first and second movie, anyways the trailer was great, they seem to be hyjacking a tanker truck in Brazil or Panama,,,one of those Mexican countries. Very bad ass but have to wait till next summer…..ahhh.

This weeks movie was the Ben Stiller movie, which he directed, stared, and wrote, Tropic Thunder. Its not his first movie he directed, he actually did “The Cable Guy” and “Zoolander” This movie was great with a great cast. Tom Cruise has a hidden like role. He plays the Billionaire that funds the movie they are filming, but he is disguised head to toe. Mi Gorda didn’t even recognize him.

He played what I assume would be they way a rich bastard would act. He would curse the shit out of everyone. I guess I would do the same if I was a Billionaire. Mi Gorda didn’t think it was him but I noticed him right away. But who really stole the camera was Robert Downey Jr. He played a soldier that was suppose to be black, so he did a skin change (reverse Micheal Jackson) Funny Funny shit from him. I did hear about the movie being contraversy with him acting like a black man. They had a real black actor in the movie but he turned out to be gay. Shit man, you tryin to break the contraversy, they even made fun of rappers giving propagenda on the rap videos. The opening credits showed them annoucing a drink that was sold in the concession stands www.bootysweat.com I heard one lady in the back row actually yell out “are they serious”. They even showed a couple of fake trailers before the movie, Mi Gorda even told me “we are not coming to see that movie” LOL I just love her so much.
Movies great, dont worry about the whole contraversy issue going on. Fuck that. Black people on TV act like that cause they are being paid. For the amount of money they pay those rappers, football, basketball, and movie stars, shitt…..they better act how they are told. I would talk like a mexican that no speaka english, I will rap about selling drugs and killing my people, for the right price. Its TV, they are making money. They are actors acting, cause I’m paying them to make my ass laugh.

Birthday Weekend!!

25th Bday

Betogonza has finallly reached the age of Low insurance, Car Renter, Midlife Crisis age of 25. I will be honest and I will say that the past 5 years have gone buy so quick to me. I have been working in my current job for 5 years now, my horse buiness for 3 years. Just looking back and its like damn 5 years, where am I gonna be in another 5 years.

We started off buy having a small get together at my house on friday. DJ Dylam showed up to help out with the music for about most of the night since he had paid job to attend to LOL. Plenty of food, dancing with Mi Gorda, and of course half a Gallon of Crown Royale. Everyone was pretty much gone by 12 but my buddy Freddie stayed till 2am, showed up with the Remy Martin. Thank you all that showed up.

Saturday was spend at the lake, cooking some burgers and on the jet ski. It rained in the parking lot when we showed up and it immediately stopped as soon as we showed up, Yay. Late night dancing with mi Gorda and my sister and brother in law. We headed towards Zanzabar just to find an empty dance floor. I guess Nobody wants to go dancing anymore.

Sunday work but Monday (actuall Bday) Mi Gorda took me to the movies to watch Pineapple Express, kind of felt like having a dubby after. The Apatow crew has really done some awesome things. I’m so glad they came back from Undeclared series which was just the best show. They are doing great with all of these movies that I guess they just had to wait a couple of years before they made it big. Undeclared aired in 2001, great show, I was only 18 and loved it. It was canceled quickly with only 17 episodes in the first Season. 40 year old Virgin helped them open the door to so many great movies. Knocked Up, Superbad, Forgettin Sarah Marshal, Pineapple Express.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, was a was of my movie ticket. Brendan Fraser of course we loved in the The Mummy and Mummy Returns, and of course hes ok in the movie but he should sue whoever wrote his lines. And WTF, wheres Racheal Weisz, there cant be a Mummy Movie without her. I fell in love when I saw her in the past 2 movies with her sexy English Accent. If she didnt want to be on the movie, it shouldnt have been done. Maria Bello replaced her, honestly I never thought that was her, I spent about the entire movie guessin who the hell that was, and Maria Bello was one of my Guesses. She so hot in History of Violence.

The annoying actor (Luke Ford) ruined the movie for me. I’m guessin he was suppose to be around 19-20 years old in the movie but SOB acted like he was 14. John Hannah which had about 15 min screen time, should have his own movie. He had a club named after The Mummy, LOL.
