Wanted Much More.

Posted : 1 month, 2 weeks ago on 17 August 2008 06:15 (A review of Mr. Woodcock)

This film was good for the most part. It had several pretty funny scenes and the cast was great as well. I highly enjoy Billy Bob Thornton and Sean William Scott. In my opinion, it was just a bit rushed with a lot of rather ridiculous dialogue including some out of place lines. Not to mention, it was a little cheesy.

I really do not have much more to say about this film, so I will just say it is mostly worth seeing.

One Of The Funniest Films Of The Year.

Posted : 2 months, 1 week ago on 27 July 2008 04:09 (A review of Step Brothers)

"Step Brothers" is easily a contender for comedy of the year. It was hysterical.

The film revolves around two step brothers who basically hate each others guts. They are played by two of the funniest actors in Hollywood. Will Ferrell, and John C. Reilly. That was a big bonus for me considering all of Ferrell's films are hilarious. I haven't seen many of Reilly's, but he put on a show in this film. They are forty year old men still living with their parents, which in my opinion, couldn't be a better plot for these two. Will Ferrell had that spark to him, as he does in all of his other great films. Watch for a little resemblance to his Elf character "Buddy". You will laugh hysterically during this film, I guarantee it. perfect actors, along with a spectacular, but very basic plot, make this a must see film.

At first I was rather skeptical due to a few unnecessary jokes and scenes that were added in towards the beginning of the film, but that quickly changed when it lit up with golden comedy. I have not laughed that much about a film in who knows how long. There are so many unforgettable scenes in this film, it is just great. Will Ferrell has some of his best quotes.

I was pleasantly surprised by The supporting cast. They were all excellent, including Mary Steenburgen, Richard Jenkins, and a special guest Seth Rogen. This film had all the ingredients of a great film, and it is. Go see this film!

Another Great Max Payne Installment.

Posted : 2 months, 1 week ago on 25 July 2008 02:49 (A review of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne)

The next installment of Max Payne has him pitted against basically the world as he hunts down mobs, and groups and such, while at the same time falling in love with a murder suspect named Mona. In my opinion, the story could have been a little more developed with a bit more things happening, because the missions seem dull to an extent, yet I still love playing them.

The gameplay is exactly the same with the exception of bullet time. Bullet time is Max in slow motion doing twists and turns taking his enemies down. I must admit, it does look rather cool. Though the game would definitely have been better without it, because of originality.

The graphics in Max Payne 2 were much better than the original, but that wasn't necessarily for the best. I was sort of disappointed with the way they changed the characters looks around a lot, mainly Max's facial features and actions. I much more preferred his other character look. The other characters looked nothing like the first one either. For example Jim Bravura, and Alfred Wooden. Other than that, the characters are great.

I though the sound effects were way better than the original. The enemies are much more intelligent and you don't usually seeing them acting stupid. There dialogue is much more advanced as well. You will now hear them saying new things. Everything in that realm was great, until I realized that Max's voice was basically completely changed to where he doesn't sound like himself. It would have been better of they would have kept his other voice. I am not hating on Max Payne 2. I am just stating some flaws that I would have hoped were non existent. Other than those minor flaws, this is one great game, and definitely worth buying.

Addicting And Amazingly Fun.

Posted : 2 months, 2 weeks ago on 24 July 2008 06:13 (A review of Grand Theft Auto IV)

GTA IV is one of the best video games I have ever played. It is extremely addicting. I have only played a few games more fun then this. Nor have I played many more realistic games. Almost everything you can do in real life, can be done in this game, and it looks real. There are so many new features, it is amazing. Cheers to Rockstar for making another amazing Grand Theft Auto in the series. This is the best yet.

Quite Scary.

Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago on 16 July 2008 05:36 (A review of Alien)

"Alien" is a rather scary film. It has it's own kind of fear to it. A fear that can only be found while watching this specific film. You don't see this kind of a movie anywhere anymore. Th reason I find it scary, is because you don't actually see the alien until almost the end of the film. The build up of how scary you think the alien will be, is almost as frightening as seeing it. I was really frightened when I first saw the full grown version pop up in one of the scenes. H.R. Giger, the designer of the alien, really made it look real, and truly scary.

If you want to know the honest truth, I was expecting it to be much better for some reason. I am not saying I didn't enjoy it, because I did. I am just saying it could have been better. I was not entertained the whole way through. I thought they could have showed the alien a little more, and added some more action to certain scenes. But other than that, it was a very good film, and probably Ridley Scott's best.

A Great, Funny Show.

Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago on 15 July 2008 12:17 (A review of Whose Line Is It Anyway?)

This is a great show. I just love watching the main performers make things up in their head, right on the spot. They sometimes create songs, speeches, and things to say to people. It is amazing how quick they can just think of material. I used to not think very highly of this show until I actually watched a full episode and realized that it is a great show. "Who Line Is It Anyway" is worth a watch.

Family Guy

Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago on 15 July 2008 12:11 (A review of Family Guy)

Family Guy is considered one of the best shows on television, and honestly, I agree. You cannot go wrong with this show. Every time I watch it I laugh at a new joke, which by the way the jokes are hilarious. My favorite character is Brian. He is so funny when he says everything in a serious and smart way. He outwits everyone in the show with his quick and hilarious remarks. He is easily the most comedic character in Family Guy. I only began watching this show a couple of years ago, but I realized quick that it is one of the best.

Very Funny!

Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago on 15 July 2008 12:04 (A review of American Dad!)

From the guys who brought you Family Guy, comes American Dad. This is a great show. It is obviously not as good as Family Guy, but that is expected. My favorite character is Stan. He is like Peter in a way. The story is great, and the comedy is excellent. The Creators of Family Guy really know how to make a great show. If you haven't seen this show yet, then what are you waiting for? watch American Dad. It is one of the best Animated television shows on the air.

Good. Could Be Better.

Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago on 14 July 2008 11:58 (A review of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart)

The same goes for this show, as goes for Colbert. It has no chance against most other talk shows, including mainly David Letterman. Yes, it does mock news in a very hilarious way, which makes me laugh hysterically whenever I watch it, but it isn't consistent enough to be a great show. Not to mention Jon Stewart is not even that funny. I think this show is pretty entertaining.

Funny For The Most Part.

Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago on 14 July 2008 11:53 (A review of The Colbert Report)

The Colbert Report is not nearly as good as some talk shows on television, but it certainly has it's funny moments. Stephen Colbert has a nice routing he does every episode which can be highly enjoyable, and hilarious at times, but some of his material is a little skeptical. Overall, the show is good, and fun to watch, but it is only o.k., compared to other shows.
