Ok this movie has a crazy bunch of comedians and it looks hilarious, I can’t wait to see this movie, the best part is that they are playing themselves.

Review: DREDD...

In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.

It’s rare that the remake is better then the original, and the original starred Sylvester Stallone, but this one did, it outdid the original Judge Dredd and left it to be forgotten. In this movie Karl Urban was a man of few words, it was pure action on his part, and what little you can see of his face, said it all about Judge Dredd, he played the part perfectly. The story is clear Judge Dredd entered the most crime ridden location in Mega City, Peach Trees, and when he goes in all hell breaks loose and Judge Dredd does what he does best, Judge, Jury, and Executionar. The perfect type of movie, a solid story line, great bad guys, and action that just wouldn’t stop. One hell of a movie and this one did Judge Dredd Justice, I’m hoping for another one because this one ended on an high note.

Starting 2013 With Some Movies...

HitAndRun

Start of the year with a lot of good movies to watch this weekend, Dredd is at the top of list, an action movie I have been looking forward to watch, the remake is better then the original from what I heard. A few good action movies to enjoy like Looper, Alex Cross, Premium Rush, & Resident Evil Retribution. Where The Trail Ends is a cool adventure documentary following this extreme off-road bicycles across the globe, and Halo 4 Forward Dawn is based on the Halo franchise, any movie with Master Chief couldn’t be cooler.

Review: The Man With The Iron Fist...

On the hunt for a fabled treasure of gold, a band of warriors, assassins, and a rogue British soldier descend upon a village in feudal China, where a humble blacksmith looks to defend himself and his fellow villagers.

You have to love the excessiveness of this movie, its like one of those typical Kung Fu movies from the 80s but with a ridiculous character line up and the Quintin Tarantino flare. RZA from the Wu Tang Clan, is all over this movie, he one of the main characters, the director, the screenplay writer, and pretty much everything else in the movie. Overall, the movie is just a fun flick to see on the weekend. Lots of blood, decapitation, fun martial arts, subliminal dirty jokes, sarcastic humor, special effects, and a unique, urban take on the classic Kung Fu films we’ve learn to love over the years. This is not a movie you waste your time dissecting. You either love it or you hate. I took the movie for what it was and I loved every minute of it. It had everything an action flick should have, great action, great costumes, great weapons, solid plot and good actors. If you love martial arts movies then you have to watch this one, as usual its fun and over the top.

Pain & Gain – Trailer...

Mark Wahlberg & Dwanye Johnson in the same movie, just couldn’t get any better then that. Damn these guys seriously work out, Monsters! An action comedy gone wrong, love it! Oh and Michael Bay is directing so expect lots of explosion and action scenes!

A pair of bodybuilders in Florida get caught up in an extortion ring and a kidnapping scheme that goes terribly wrong.

Pacific Rim – Trailer...

Holy Crap this movie is going to be EPIC!!! I can’t wait to see it, Giant Monsters invading earth and human’s built Giant Robots to fight them, THIS CAN’T GET ANY BETTER!!! Can’t wait to see this movie! I can’t wait to see what Guillermo del Toro has up his sleeve!

When an alien attack threatens the Earth’s existence, giant robots piloted by humans are deployed to fight off the menace.

Review: The Bournce Legacy...

An expansion of the universe from Robert Ludlum’s novels, centered on a new hero whose stakes have been triggered by the events of the previous three films.

Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors and I thought having him onboard would be perfect to play opposite Bourne. Jeremy Renner played an interesting Bourne and I was looking forward to seeing how he would play it out since he was pretty good in the Avengers as Hawkeye. The movie is filled with action but I was expecting the story to have some sort of ridiculous plot that we would figure out later, to lead to some discovery. But half way through the movie I was getting distracted, it just didn’t keep my attention, and the ending was one long ridiculous action scene which was pretty pointless, and when the movie ended I thought “Really? Thats It? Nothing Else?” I was a bit disappointed and with this Bourne movie, I wanted it to be a lot better. The action was fun but it couldn’t cover for the lack of a coherent story, if I wanted senseless action I would have watched Expendables 2 again.

Star Trek – Into The Darkness R...

J.J. Abrams’ first Star Trek movie destroyed Vulcan and wreaked havoc with the timeline — and judging from this first minute of footage from Star Trek Into Darkness, the destruction is only going to be more massive this time around. Check out the first “announcement trailer” for Star Trek II: The Wrath of… we still don’t know who. But he’s pretty fricken wrathful.

This movie is going to be Epic, it seems they are going to top the first one from 2009. I think I’m going to watch it again, it was just that good.

Review: Total Recall...

A factory worker, Douglas Quaid, begins to suspect that he is a spy after visiting Rekall – a company that provides its clients with implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led – goes wrong and he finds himself on the run.

They took an Arnold Schwarzenegger and modernized it, I was a huge fan of the original with Sharon Stone so I had high expectations for this one. The cast line up was excellent and the previews looked good An excellent cast, I like how it revolved around a man losing his memory that he is a top notch secret agent. A little twist on the story helps and the characters were a bit different, it also took place on Earth this time not Mars, but still a very engaging story, there was no dull moment. There was a bit of a few confusing moments towards the end, but I liked the character that Kate Bakinsale played. It was a fun story and engaging but the slight confusion towards the end threw me off, for any Scifi fan this is something that you will enjoy but everyone else won’t be too keen on it.

Review: The Expendables 2...

Mr. Church reunites the Expendables for what should be an easy paycheck, but when one of their men is murdered on the job, their quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected threat.

It’s rare that the second movie is better then the first one, but this one is, and if you are a fan of the 80s movies then you really have to watch this one. And this time they brought in Chuck Norris & Jean Claude Van Damme, a true 80s action packed movie, with a damn good bad guy, true 80s style but modernized for our time. The fine art of 80s/90s action movies has been lost and we are stuck with very complex stories requiring our complete attention to know what the hell is going in a movie. You get the right dosage of a story with more action and Chuck Norris thrown in for good measure, how could this not be good. You know there are movie one liners that you will always remember like “Yippy Ka Yay Mother Fucker!!”. Well this one is filled with them and you will love every moment of it. When Chuck Norris joins the battle, Arnie sighs and moans, ‘Who’s next… Rambo?’, that is the best of the movie. At one point in the film, Arnie turns to Bruce and Sly and says, ‘we belong in a museum’. In a way, he’s right. This is the last gasp of this type of film and perhaps the perfect homage to a golden age.
