Jack Bruno is a regular cab driver in Las Vegas who meet interesting people, one day Seth and Sara surprisingly end up in his back seat. Little does he know that there is more to these kids then just what they told him. I’m a fan of Dwayne Johnson, he knows how to make entertaining movies and his acting skills are pretty good relative to his size. Sort of an action adventure out of Disney world productions, lots of explosions and actions but just enough not to scare the kids. A really fun storyline with some interesting characters and Bruno gets caught up in all the action, a fun movie to watch.

Genius.. pure genius.. now this is a movie that will be remembered forever. The music is fantastic and the cast combination is fantastic, I don’t know how they got them together.
“Hot Tub Time Machine is probably the greatest gift anyone’s ever given the world. Time will show that it ranks up there with the Statue of Liberty and free Internet porn”
This is going to be a nice relaxing weekend with some good food and movies and tv shows, maybe a bbq as well. I’m thinking about trying to Wakeboard this weekend but that may end up to be a disaster but for ideal conditions I need flat water and my skills are abismal but I’m still gonna try. I really am looking forward to a relaxing weekend of chilling, tv shows, and some fun in the sun.
Movie List for the Weekend:
The simple way to check how messed up a movie is in Kuwait is to check the runtime. I’m happy at least KNCC posts up their real runtimes of these movies and not fabricated numbers, but this time around I’m a bit shocked of how much they chopped off from Harry Potter.
The Original Movie Runtime: 153 Mins
The Kuwaiti Approved Version: 135 Mins
11% of the movie has been chopped off, meaning that you will lose 11% of the story and that is too much for my tastes. I think I’m going to wait to watch it outside of Kuwait or wait for the Blu-Ray to come out. I tend to avoid movies with magic, or female interaction in Kuwait. I try to watch some movies and try to limit them to Pixar movies but sometimes I want to enjoy the movie in the theater but this time around I think I will wait for the Blu Ray version.
Frank Martin puts the driving gloves on to deliver Valentina, the kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official, from Marseilles to Odessa on the Black Sea. En route, he has to contend with thugs who want to intercept Valentina’s safe delivery and not let his personal feelings get in the way of his dangerous objective.
There is a reason why I like Jason Statham films, he usually plays interesting roles or he is a no nonsense person who gets his answers one way or another. Some people aren’t that fond of the Transporter movies, but I like because its simple and entertaining to watch. He has a mission and on the way he beats up a hell of a lot of people. I don’t know how he works out or what he does but he is built like he is made out of stone. The story line is simple and realistic to follow, nothing to insane except for a few car stunts.

These are the latest Hi-Def movies that I have managed to get my hands on and its on my server at this point. Some are for archiving purposes and some are new movies that I want to see which I haven’t seen or ones that I want to watch again like Fast and Furious. Some are itneresting movies, which I will get a chance to watch at the beach house. The main shows have ended but we haven’t finished them all yet but we still have a few left to watch over this summer. But there are still a lot of movies to watch, I’m making my TV list for this summer too and its turned into an interesting list of shows.
Many of us are Sci-fi fans, and I know that I am one of those fans who just can’t get enough. Now this movie is made for those Star Wars fans who can’t get enough of Goerge Lucas and a group of friends who embark on a journey to the Sky Walker Ranch and steal the a rough cut of Star Wars: Episode 1 Phantom Menace before 6 months its release. They have to fight through a league of Star Trek fans, get out of jail, and make through all the crazy things that take place to get there. A perfect cast for this type of movie, we were laughing for most of the movie and really worth it. A fun movie to watch for anyone likes those crazy adventure comedies with a little fanfare thrown into the mix.

A group of young American ex-pats with telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities are hiding from a clandestine U.S. government agency. They must utilize their different talents and band together for a final job enabling them to escape the agency forever.
Nick Grant is one of those people with powerful abilities, but he is hiding out in Hong Kong from Division. A part of the government that is trying to manufacturer more powerful meta humans. There is a lot of ties to their history and he meets a girl who is a see-er, someone who can see into the future. The way this plays out is fantastic, there is a feeling of how meta-human capabilities such as these can develop into real life powers and how they can be related. Nick Grant is played by Chris Evans, and I think its an interesting cast of the people with special powers that plays out very nicely, an entertaining and fun movie to watch.

Review:
An MIT professor is lost his wife in a tragic accident and left to raise his son on his own. At his son’s elementary school they dig up a time 50 year old time capsule and his son recieves a letter with chilling predictions. As it plays out these are related to tragic events that will take place, only he is left to unravel the remaining mystery. Its an action packed movie that you really don’t expect from Nicholas Cage, I didn’t expect the movie to turn out this way. I thought it was going to be more a science fiction movie, but it had its scary parts and I was freaked out, which I really did enjoy. A really enjoyable movie that turned out a lot different then I expected, and a lot of people would enjoy it.

This has been a long awaited movie for the past two years, a follow up to the blockbuster of 2007. This time around the decepticons are out in number, it has been two years since the Autobots have landed on earth and they have joined a task force of humans to fight the remaining decepticons across the globe. They are getting to them one on every continent and more keep showing up, they don’t know what exactly they are looking for but they are searching for something. Sam is off to college, until he touches the cube again only to realize that he is now seeing symbols everywhere.
You get introduced to the new autobots right away with Prime as their leader, Megatron isn’t any where to be found and Starscream is the coward leading the decepticons on this search. Soundwave is the one the more interesting Decepticons, we were used to him as a Stereo from the original Transformers but this time around he is a Satellite with amazing hacking abilities. You also meet a few new autobots such as the twins, the motorcycle autobot and Sideswipe the mean looking corvette and thats just the beginning of it, and one of the best in the movie is Jetfire but he is a little different then the original but you will see what I mean when you watch it.
This is one action packing movie from start until end, I didn’t realize that it would be that long. I didn’t realize how much time went by because I was stuck to my seat hoping that each time they confront that the Autobots would win and Sam would get where he is going. There were a few scenes which had me ties to my seat and I was shocked at a few points but I loved every moment of it. For those who were criticizing the movie saying its not as good as the first one, I think they are mistaken its even better, so many Autobots and Decepticons duking it out, armies coming into full battle, and new storyline that keeps you tied to your seat and introducing new concepts about the Autobots and Decepticons and so much more. I loved every moment of the movie, I want to watch it again, I can’t wait to get it on Blu-Ray.
