Tucker & Dale vs. Evil...

Tucker & Dale are on vacation at their dilapidated mountain cabin when they are attacked by a group of preppy college kids.

This is probably one of the funniest horror comedies I have seen in a while, a twisted situation turns into crazy situation. Two hillbillies meet a bunch of college kids, and one of the kids knocks her head and falls into the lake, the hillbillies save her but the college kids think they are kidnapping her and going to cook her alive. Tyler Labine (The Big Fat Guy with the Beard) is one of my favorite comedians and he is one of the hillbillies, and the college kids try to kill them to save their friend, and the hillbillies don’t know what the hell is going on. The movie just keep getting more twisted and hilarious and these hillbillies don’t know what the hell is happening.

Review: Take Me Home Tonight...

Follow an aimless college grad who pursues his dream girl at a wild Labor Day weekend party. He, his twin sister and their best friend struggle with their burgeoning adulthood over the course of the night.

They really took it back with this movie, Matt Franklin is an MIT graduate who doesn’t know what the hell to do with this life but when he sees his highschool crush things go crazy from there, and I do love his crazy fat best friend who just does all the crazy things. This is one of those very funny light hearted comedies where things can go very wrong and a lot of funny freaky things happen, its worth a watch if your looking for a laugh. And they really did bring back the 80s in this movie, with the cars and especially Suncoast Videos, Suncoast used to be my favorite number one spot to pick up videos and anime, and I don’t know where they found that many VHS tape covers to fit the whole store, they even had the very cool Back to the Future poster on the wall as if its a new movie.

Review: Wolverine Anime...

Plot Summary: Next in the four-part Marvel Anime project and broadcasts after the Iron Man anime. Wolverine is a mutant, possessing animal-keen senses, enhanced psychical capabilities, three retracting bone claws on each hand and a healing factor that allows him to recover from virtually any wound, disease or toxin at a accelerated rate.

The anime versions of the Marvel Universe keep getting better and better, this time around Wolverine is a bad ass fighting off a part of the criminal world. There was a nice cameo of Cyclops half way through the anime. Its interesting to see the world of mutants through the eyes of Anime, its not the big struggle like it is with American animation but the story goes deep into Wolverine’s past in Japan, and you jump right into it, the story gets more twisted towards the end and lets hope for some more episodes of Wolverine. Its an action packed anime with story getting better and better, I think that the Iron Man Anime was better but this was damn good, and I can’t wait to see the X-Men anime.

Review: X-Men First Class...

In 1962, Charles Xavier starts up a school and later a team, for humans with superhuman abilities. Among them is Erik Lensherr, his best friend… and future archenemy.

There was a barrage of comic book movies coming out this year, this might end up being the best and the most restrained with CGI . I was excited when they announced another X-Men movie since Wolverine wasn’t as good as I expected even though I liked it. But an Origins movie is tough to pull off since comic book stories are very complex and Batman Begins was one of the few that got it right. Nevertheless, I went into this movie with certain expectations, and they were surpassed. This movie is fantastic. The dynamic of new friends that will grow up to be enemies and seeing how the Xavier school came about is really fun. The film could have spent a little more time of showing why the two men chose such different paths, but thats a small detail that only true comic book geeks like myself will notice, loved the Wolverine cameo. And I especially enjoyed some of the new characters, looking forward to seeing the next iteration of this the new X-Men.

Review: Super...

After his wife falls under the influence of a drug dealer, an everyday guy transforms himself into Crimson Bolt, a superhero with the best intentions, though he lacks for heroic skills.

Dwight K. Schrute at his best, the super hero that he is supposed to be, for any fan of The Office you will enjoy the movie. This movie turned out to show the crazy dumb side of Dwight Schrute, it had a mix of Kick Ass and The Office, it gets crazy pretty quickly and you have to deal with a lot of complex situations. If you liked Kick Ass then you will enjoy this Dark Comedy, it is a perfect mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, parody and character-based gore-fest.

Review: Bad Teacher...

A comedy centered around a foul-mouthed, junior high teacher who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a colleague — a move that pits her against a well-loved teacher.

Cameron Diaz is a very funny comedian and I thought the trailer to this movie looked hilarious. A gold digger looking for her next target, but she had to work in a junior high until she finds someone.
I thought it was going to be a very good dirty comedy but it was slightly toned down, not what I had in mind but still a good comedy and it had its funny moments with the teacher rivalry and her tactics to get what she wants, if you like Cameron Diaz then you will enjoy the movie.

Transformer – Dark Side Of The Moo...

The Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the Moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets

There is no denying that I am huge fan of Transformers and loved the first movie, and enjoyed the second even though it wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be. But Transformers Dark Side Of The Moon or TF3 surpassed my expectations, and sent me over the top. The story was so well thought out that I was seriously caught off guard, I didn’t know what to expect and it blew me away. Michael Bay did the whole line of Transfomers justice with this movie, and it really is a movie to end this series on. I am one person who is not happy that the Transformers movies are coming to an end but with this movie it ends on a high note. There were some Autobots that are killed and one of my favorites, and dying in a very shocking way, totally unexpected and it just kept getting crazier and crazier. The story got mixed and deeper in a way I wasn’t expecting and Shia LeBeouf really did an amazing job, and as usual Optimus Prime is a leader to follow, and I loved the comedic touches throughout the movie, timed perfectly with the action. So much to love and I was on the edge of my seat at times during the movie and I hope that somebody picks it up even 10 years down the line. For now as a fan of Transformers I am happy and will be watching it again and again for many years to come.

Review: The Hangover Part 2...

Two years after the bachelor party in Las Vegas, Phil, Stu, Alan, and Doug jet to Thailand for Stu’s wedding. Stu’s plan for a subdued pre-wedding brunch, however, goes seriously awry.

The guys are at it again and this time all the shinanigans take place in Thailand, and Stu is getting married. I have been looking forward to watching this movie for a while now, and uncut. It was worth the wait, it started it off nice and slow, bringing the wolf pack back together for Stu’s wedding and just as things seemed nice and calm, it took a turn for the worse in a very short time. Things go crazy in Bangkok as they try to retrace their steps and figure out what the hell happened, only to keep gettin ginto more trouble and every part is funnier then the other. Somewhat the same formula as the original but hilarious, and I loved it, and of course they had to bring back Chow.

Review: Highschool Of The Dead...

Plot Summary: Takashi Komuro is a normal highschool boy, until an infection breaks out that turns people into zombie-like creatures. Along with his friends & the school nurse, they fight their way out and continue their journey to find out what exactly has happened to the world.

This really took a page out of World War Z, a couple of students stuck in school with a few zombies coming in only to find that it is a world epidemic. They all start off in different groups and you see the characters of people in this situation, where kids have to decide to kill to live or just die if they don’t try. The anime is fun and I do love seeing people with sorts and weapons, but this anime takes a turn for the funny and kinky, its serious and funny at the same time. It shows some people doing what they have to do to survive and some hold on to their humanity and some don’t, and then there is the kinky part and it shows up pretty early in the show but its just a fun quick series to watch 12 episodes, I was hoping that we would see what exactly would happen and how they would fight these zombies to an end but it seems they left that part to be continued.

Review: Super 8...

After witnessing a mysterious train crash, a group of friends in the summer of 1979 begin noticing strange happenings going around in their small town, and begin to investigate into the creepy phenomenon.

JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg on the same movie, I didn’t know what to expect but I expect my mind to blown away by the crazy movie they put together secretively over the past few years. I few trailers that I saw said very little and all we knew is that it revolved around some sort of Alien in the 1970s and kids get involved. I was expecting a scifi filled movie with things being destroyed to oblivion and getting shocked with what Abrams and Spielberg had in mind. Instead it took a slightly different route, something I wasn’t expecting and honestly not as good as I hoped it to be. It was well made movie and you really did feel like you were in the 70s but because it was so secretive I just had higher expectations for it.
