The names Bond, James Bond.

"I don't think the dead care about vengeance..."

Well...where to start with this movie...Quantum of Solace isn't for the weak hearted. This movie is so action packed it basically could've busted the projector. The movie starts off where Casino Royale left off. The very first scene is a car chase along a mountain side, through traffic at that. To add to this Bond goes through various situations where he kills his adversary. If you haven't noticed by now, this movie is mainly based on revenge, which makes it that much more bad ass. Bond has no regard for life throughout the movie until the end. To add to the action, the movie includes land, water, AND aerial chases, which are all equally crazy! Daniel Craig has proved himself once again. He definitely fits the role of the bad ass woman charmer we all know and love, well at least to me. Older people tend to differ because they still see Sean Connery as the best. There's not much else I can say without ruining this movie for you...so just go and watch it already!

Movie Review: Burn After Reading


"I thought you might be worried...about the security...of your shit..."


Last night I went to see Burn After Reading with a few of my friends. I've been waiting for this movie since I saw the trailer. After No Country for Old Men, the Coen brothers take a turn and instead create a comedic and witty movie basically on stupidity. I'm sure that if you dig a bit deeper, you'll find this movie somewhat satirical in the way it portrays the government in the end. It has a very complicated storyline where it goes from character to character, non stop switching. It's hilarious too see the situations that Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and the rest of the cast get themselves into.

Basically the story is about two greedy fitness gym workers who find a disc of secret CIA files, the CIA analyst who owned the disc and is being black mailed, a circle of sex and deceit, and each characters individual idiocy. In this movie everyone is some sort of idiot. It was so bad that after reviewing the script, Brad Pitt suggested that he wasn't the right guy to play Chad on account of the characters stupidity, but the brothers insisted.

The movie starts out kind of slow, introducing each character and their motives/issues, but it gradually builds into a "clusterfuck" of situations that all tie in together at the end. Overall this film had me and the rest of the audience cracking up non stop. The characters are what give this movie it's hilarity, and appeal. If you're looking for a movie to watch on your first date...this isn't it, I recommend seeing this movie with your friends, or at least make sure your date has a good sense of humor.

Batman: The Dark Knight - My Review


"Lets put a smile on that face..."

Well as you all know I went to see The Dark Knight this morning, and I've come back speechless. Seriously, and I quote my brother on this one: "There are no words to describe how great that movie was." This movie is going down in history for one of the greatest movies ever. Thank god for Christian Bale, and Heath Ledger (R.I.P.), they played the best batman and joker EVER. Ledger made Jack Nickleson look like an actual clown. There is nothing left to be said about this movie. Get off this blog right now and go see it.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (may contain spoilers)


"You woke up the baby..."

Okay people, life is not only about speaker poppin Hip Hop (although it is a major part), it's also about eye popping movies...and books.....sometimes. So the most recent movie I've seen is Hellboy II: The Golden Army (which was a few hours ago). Well...I thought this movie was AWSOME. If you like the comics, you definitely will not be disappointed. The basic story is about hells spawn who is taken in and cared for by a professor. Eventually he grows up and becomes a part of a secret government organization called B.P.R.D. (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense). In this movie Hellboy must defend humankind from an indestructible golden army. The storyline is naturally more complicated, but that's just the gist of it (I don't want to ruin it for those who haven't seen it). All in all, its a action packed comic book movie, that is directed by the same mind that brought you Pans Labrynth (Guillermo del Toro). A must see for comic book fans, no doubt about it.

P.S. - I will not be doing this regularly...just when I see a movie that is worth the trouble.
