Review: The A-Team...

I knew this movie is going to be a fun movie, but not as good as it turned out to be. They redifined mindless fun, you just can’t get enough explosions, bullets flying and insane stunts. In the original the show revolved around BA “Barracus” or Mr.T and Murdock, Face and Hannibal weren’t that great, but this time around Barracus had the same attitude that people could relate to plus a little more originality, Murdock in the movie is a total nut case in the movie, he was fantastic, and Face was fantastic in the movie as well. The movie did the original A-Team justice, while adding some charm to them and making it one hell of an entertaining movie. Lee Neeson did a fantastic job as the fearless leader of this unstoppable team, and Sharlot Copley provided the perfect character as Murdock and most if not all the laughs in the movie. The A-Team managed to bring in a lot of laughs, some great action, and plenty of nods to the original

Review: She’s Out Of My League...

A simple comedy about a nerdy guy with no ambitions suddenly finding a ridiculously hot girl interested in him. Kirk Kettner works as a TSA security officer in Pittsburgh Airport when Molly a hot event planner crosses his path, and the best part isn’t the entaglement that goes on between the two of them. Its two groups that Kirk has to deal with, they are the whole entertainment. Kirks family is basically made up of a bunch retards taking each other out with ridiculous pranks, and abuse Kirk at any possible time. Then his bunch of supportive and slightly insane friends who try and help him at every point, and they also help screw things up, Kirk has a lot to deal with from his friends and family, while trying to find his way. Its one of those oddly good comedies which has its moments and well worth watching.

Review: Prince of Persia...

This movie had a big build up since it was based on the successful Prince of Persia games. Dastan joins the rebillious princess Tamina to prove his innocense and stop the sands of time from being unleashed and destroying the world. Dastan is played by Jake Gyllenhall, and he plays him very well, the witty and acrobatic characteristics of the Prince fit him well. Its fun seeing the tricks in the game happening in real life, they had some fun characters in the movie and your always entertained. A fun adventure to watch, and princess Tamina played by Gemma Arterton is a spunky and tough character who wants to ditch Dastan at every point. And I loved the evil guy that Ben Kingsely played, he is just such a superb actor and plays the bad guy very well. This is one of the good summer blockbusters to enjoy.

Review: The Young Victoria...

Queen Victoria took the thrown at a young age, and this movie revolves around accession to Queen of the United Kingdom. I’m not usually into these types of movies but the story intrigued me and the roles that are played seemed very interesting. I especially liked the Emily Blunt playing Queen Victoria, she had this cheeky yet confident character to her which she played perfectly, you get tied up wanting to support her as the Queen. It just kept getting better and better, excellent story telling with some eccentric and enjoyable characters. At the pace it was going I expected a great ending but it wasn’t what I was expecting but still a very good movie.

Review: Harry Brown...

Harry lives in public housing block in London, a retired soldier who lives a daily dull life between the pub and his apartment. Harry Brown is movie of a man who was pushed too far, surrounded by thugs and gangsters who took things a little too far, the man snapped and his rampage cleaned up the streets, and take vengeance for his friend. Who ever thought that the butler of Batman/Bruce Wayne could kick so much ass, and every kill is for a purpose. This is a gritty unapologetic violent movie meant to show the state of the public housing and how one man was pushed to act, movies such as these are rare these days, a slow start but insane finish, a movie worth watching.

The Scale – Soehnle Niro...

I have wanted to get a scale for a long time but all these places I pass by have these cheap scales which are huge and don’t fit easily into the bathroom. Or you have to have it in a spot to stand perfectly to get the right weight, I have seen which is really cool and mechanical in Italy but I haven’t seen in anywhere. Then I saw the Soehnle Niro in The Chedi Muscat, tried it a few times and it was very accurate and clear. It fits perfectly in a corner of my bathroom, there isn’t much space to work with so its really thin fitting perfectly in the corner. It gives a perfect reading of my weight, I check it every morning after I jump out of the shower and keeps me in check, there are days where I’m eating light and days that I mess around. So this is the best scale I have ever used and available through amazon, low profile, and simple to use.

Pros:

  • Computer Scale, Very Accurate
  • 1.8cm tall
  • Relatively Waterproof
  • A door can go over it

Review: Kick Ass...

Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a super-hero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so.

A simple story of young man who did the one thing that everyone always thought of, he decided one day that he wanted to become a super hero. A lot of heart in this hero but Dave gets his ass handed to him the first few times he tries to stop a crime. But he keeps pushing forward, he is that character that everyone wants to be, and some how he manages to make it through with his crappy skills. He bumps into Big Daddy and Hit Girl, Nicholas Cage aka Big Daddy is the one character who pulled off the comic nut job in the movie. Big Daddy sort of looks like Batman but was more like the Batman from the old school TV show and he was a quirky character who is training his daughter to fight and kill, aka Hit Girl. Now Hit Girl is this 12 year old girl who can kill a man with her pinky and has one dirty mouth. A gritty movie that just knocks you off your feet, I loved every moment of it, there wasn’t a part that wasn’t exciting and fun. Luckily the trailers don’t give away the movie and the story comes together perfectly, loved that the heroes really got their asses kicked and the super heroes were human, the characters were human and colorful.

Review: Beats by Dr. Dre Tour...

I got these headphones a few months back now and have tried them a few times. I didn’t get the right sound except after switching out to the right tips. I tried out the Dr Dre Beats noise canceling headphones which were fantastic sound and bass, but its an over ear type headphones. Now these are the in-ear headphones and I have my Bose to compare them to. The Bose in my opinion fit better and have good base and sound and I like them a lot, the Bose were my baseline for trying out this headphone. Watch some TV shows, Movies, and Anime with these headphones and they are really good but lacking a little base.

Pros:

  • High Quality Sound
  • Very nice Design
  • A nice selection of tips to choose from to best fit your needs
  • Very high volume, higher then usual

Cons:

  • A bit pricy at $150
  • A bit lacking in Bass
  • You have to play around with it when it fits your ear to get that perfect sound
  • Sticks out a bit, doesn’t fit under inside my helmet

Review: Clash of the Titans...

Persious’s family is killed by the God of the Underworld, Haidees and he is left wanting revenge. Later he finds out that he is a Demi-God, half human and half Titan, but not the son of any Titan but Zeus himself. Now he must fight demons and other creatures to protect the humans as well as Olympus. Sam Worthington play Persious the son of Zeus and makes a path for his destiny to defeat Haidees. The story is a great story with a lot of interesting characters and fictional creatures, I especially like the Scorpions and the insane hunters who join them in their battle. The pace of the action keeps increasing and a great story is told, if you are remotely interested in Action/Fantasy movies then this must be seen, it was great from start to finish.

Review: Iron Man 2...

The story has been told and everybody knows of Iron Man, and I was expecting to be amazing but it was even better, if I can find the word for that. You get to see all the aspects of Iron Man as the machine and Tony Stark as the genius who falls into darkness. The script was perfect the characters fit perfectly and the Audi R8 Convertible looked damn hot. A nonstop action packed movie from beginning to end with juicy story that keeps you guessing whats going to happen next. What I loved is that the trailers were all great but they didn’t give away the story. I think every person should watch this movie, there is no question that you will love it.

Now for the stars of the movie, as usual Roberty Downey Jr. knows how to perfect Tony Stark with his darkside and adding his usual wit and banter. Samuel L. Jakson played the perfect tough guy who will kick your ass role of Nick Fury of S.H.E.I.L.D, you can even see the small pieces of the Avenger stories here and there. For any fan you really take the whole thing in, trying to keep up with everything they are throwing at you. Did I love the movie, yes, do I want to see it again soon, DEFINITELY. The two who perfected the movie, a hero can only be made a hero with the perfect villain and in this case it was Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke. Sam Rockwell played Justin Hammer CEO of Hammer Industries, the competitor of Stark and he would do anything to beat Tony Stark. The perfect Corporate Villain, no law will stop him from beating the competition even if he is over his head. Now Mickey Rourke just set the standard for evil super villains, he became Ivan Vanko or Whiplash, truly being the evil villain that he is, pure Russian with his belief in destroying Tony Stark. The story is amazing but these characters took it to another level, I don’t know how they plan to top this off, and what to expect for the Avengers, or Thor, or Captain America but Marvel has set the standard high and they have a lot of fans to please, I just keep wanting more of these movies and Iron Man 2 has just set the standard higher then before.

Update:

The Tony and Rhodey roadshow blasted through multiplexes, scoring $133.6 million over Friday and Saturday. With another $194 million coming in from overseas, IM2’s worldwide gross stands at $327.6 million.
