this is he second legend title movie he make.


There been movies, that have the same premise:
The last Mahican, the last star fighter, the last samurai, so on, so on. But there two that show last human of the world. Vince The last man on earth, Charles Omega man(of course there some survivors). And Now Will Smith is getting into the genre with the one that started it all. Here the review:
A new breakthrough in medicine have been made, finally a treatment that can cure cancer. Of course every medicine have some side effects.
So an outbreak exploded starting first in new york, then the world, spreading the disease by air, and touch. Some die, while other change, in a weird mutation, becoming carnivores. 3 Years after we meet Robert(Will Smith) Scientist especially in the field of disease, he is accompany by he German shepherd Sam. He spent most he day like any other, Wake up, eat breakfast, exercise, get out send a recording and wait by the pear of NY, then hunt, pick some corn and dvds on the way, get home bar the window and doors, and hear the infected scream all night long. While on he free time he start searching in he basement lab a cure that can reverse the infected to normal state. By when he meet another survivor that save him. Going by the name of Anna(Alice Bragga) and her son, in which they hear the message he aired on the radio, Telling him that god toll her about a sanctuary that is north, where there other like them survivors and Immune to the virus. But he don't believe it, cause they 're in ground zero. But the spirit of Anna believe of what she know.
Will Robert will find the cure in time? Do he believe Anna, about knowing of a save haven?
What will make him a legend?
I haven't read which the movie is based. But the feeling, and of course the theme, is what this movie is about. Solitary, Just having the dog, make one feel not so alone. But the true feel is the movie going with no sound, take ya to that state of mind that we all dont want to be in. The acting Give the true human felling of it, especially the scene where Sam die, take one to the boarded of madness. Willl smith gave a tough act by going solo in a film like this. Same happen to Tom Hank in Robert Zemeckis Castaway. There ways that one must survive in a isolation. There show some flashback scene that show the evacuation of Mahattan, that see Robert getting he familly out and board them in a chopper, while there panic on the street. That give the background to he character. Now the infected(that what i naming them) are all Cg, from movie to jurassic park, to the new star wars prequels film. Most movies are heading that direction ma ken them fell more than a animated film, than a real one from the deers to the Brooklyn Bridge. Cg make ya loose the reality of films, but the feel of it , just make ya forget it.
Now the billboard of the movie, made it look more marketing stunt, by some of the poster of products, and other film that soon to be release(like the teen titan, and the secret batman and superman). Make it way mainstream, they even show some porn DVD. And the ending king is not the same of the book, but i think they want start a whole new series about this world.
Best movie for this holiday season, is suppose to be a horror movie but doesn't feel like, but more like a Darren Aronofsky fell(requiem of a dream). The focus where good, to the feel of it, and the knowing there little action in it, is the perfect film that will smith could ever make.

Best bioflick of the year(not that much).



He was a legend, a star , a person who really have a lot of children. And slept with more women than motley cruel could 'er make. That man is Dewey Cox, now there's a movie that tell he's story, as many have follow:

Ray, Jim Morrison, Johny Cash, Elvis, And that guy who made the bamba film, which i can't remember he name. That now he making some b class movie's enjoy my musical review, of the man that call him the Cox.

this is the review:

Dewey cox(John C. Reilly), have a good childhood, always with with he's gifted brother, playing on the farm. From been chase by a bull, crushing a horse and a tractor at same time, to making figurine with steel. It was suppose to be the best day ever, until he chop he brother on half, by playing machete. From there on he was mark by the hate of he father always saying"The wrong kid die today" and he lost of smell, but until he went to a store where he passion of music start. At age 14 Dewey started with hes band, in a school talent show. What people do when they hear him singing, riot, pleasuring one to another. But he pop have enough, So he kick him. But Dewey is determined to follow he dream to become a famous singer, with he 12 year old girlfriend Edith(Kristen Carroll). They go, working as a mop boy moping in some jazzy club where Afroamerican go to dance and sex up. But when the lead vocalist of the club band suffer a fight is up to Dewey to show them what he can sing, on the day some very important record producer come to check. A career begin, that show Dewey traveling with famous musician like Elvis(Jack White) Buddy Holly(Frankie Muniz) to even the Beatles(play by Paul Rudd, Jack Black, justin Long, and John Schwartzman ), to meeting he love of he life Darlene(Jenna Fisher) that help him through he multiple drug use, and rehab. That Help him to become the person that fought he demon, and made amend to many thing. Yes people, he live a life that most of us want, but face all kind of problem, and regain it again, again, and again, and again. that person is call Dewey Cox.

This by far the best performance of John C. Reilly, he play a good sidekick in Will Ferrell Talladega Night. But now going solo, as protagonist. Is no more supporting role for him, He comedy talent gave good laugh, especially when he 1st wife try to leave him, that say"you can take my children , but you leave me my monkey". Is a worthy act. And I swear i was confuse knowing that was Mira Sorvino playing the act of Darlene, but later realize it was the Office's Jenna Fisher, My favorite of the bunch was the interpretation of the Beetle, I mean Jack Black as Paul McCartney , if any one imagine a fat one, well this is how it he look like. And Paul Rudd as John Lennon, boy i bet ya one thing not even brat pit could play it like that. And who idea was to put Jack White into the role of the "King" Elvis, make him sound as cholo dilexy, And the short Buddy Holly. But the one that one that said the best Fraser of the movie got to go to jonah Hill that play a grow Natha. He blew me away in superbad, but the scene on the electric tub and saying the best line of the movie"----bate with a ghost hand" is the true hearth of the film.

Now the bad part, there were some joke that where already seen like the part where he taking off he shirt, showing he's 300 abs, was taken by another funny movie like 2nd naked gun movie. and repeating he problems, it was getting to tiring.

Knowing that the film wasn't directed by Judd Apatow(he produce it), he wrote it, giving it to jake Kasdan to directed, gave a goldmine in the way everybody said their line. Giving the true magic of the film. But was surprise me the most was hearing John C. Reilly sing, with song like Walk hard, Mullato, then some. Made him to be nominated by best actor in a comedy film.

To be over with this, John C. Reilly ain't making a supporting role on this one, a man that can sang that good, and award choose be giving. And having most of the cast of SNL,2 of the Office, it make it the best spoof movie of the year. And to make it even better with now we know how George Harrison die. The music ain't sang by Cox, is made by Cox.

he slash, he reap, all in 3D


Robert Zemeckis have always love to experiment with he's film, lately he did, with 205 Polar Express, and the produce Monster house(creepy kids), now he have joint with the re own writer, and author, Neil Gaiman. To bring us a imaginative vision of epic cg movie call beuwolf. But now that is been shown in 3d, is it worthy pay 2dllrs more for the lens. Well here the review:
In the Denmark 502 A.D. Kingdom celebrated by building a new hall, with his king(Anthony Hopkin) and her"who don't want to bear her child, cause cheat on her"queen (Robin Wright Penn), when outside, in the mountain a beast awaken, while the kingdom drink, eat, and do the hunky panky. The dogs hear the warning of danger, by that time the door are broken. Revealing the beast that call Grendel, for which the flames of the hall, change of color , to blue. every soldier go to him, Grendel hit n through the guard. He disappear, So the king send a warning for a hero that could slay the demon of the mountain. Beowulf come to the story, by then beowulf and he's man would be rewarded by golden horn, if he slay the demon call Grendel. So let make some noise, for which he come, and begin killing. By then beowulf, jump to he back to find hes weak point, for where he take the advantage , by shirking the beast, and ending it, by ripping he arm, and keep in ti. When Grendel come to his cave , her mother(she appear naked, Angelina Jolie) to he aid, for later dye in her arm. Back in the Castle a celebration is in need, for the death of the beast, n the man that kill it, Beowulf have the trust of the people n hes king, but when he man are slaughter by the mother of the beast, he go forth to confront her to the cave he go. Full of riches n darkness, the hero become arouse when he lay eyes to the demon of the beast, seducing him, from a proposition that her sensual beauty cannot deny. When he return, he tell he tale on how he slay the demon, knowing the king knows something for which he give hes kingdom with no heir , beowulf will follow. So the king fall from a cliff of the castle, beginning a new era, that belong to beowulf, the legend of the demon killer, from which some payment are beginning to pay.
The good part, The voice acting are the best thing (hey even the lip syncing, are that good, let see Ashley Simpson to that) but is john malkovich playing the advisor of the king Unferth, he making him act like in a theater play. The king part was most hilarious ye gonna see of Anthony Hopkins, do, but of course he never been funny(except that one where he play as motorcycle driver). The visual are some well rendering seen in 3D, From a pointy spear, to a wild ride from the back of a dragon, the gore factor, should have gone to a R then aPG-13.
That not even the Conan movies couldn't superb this, now that most epic movie are given with the cgi treatment, like it was in 300. More director we take note, from the style of the battle sequences, with The grendel fight it could have make maximus(gladiator) take a bathroom break. And let not forget (naked, naked, naked) Angelina Jolie, to bad is in Cg. By one could dream right.
Now the bad part: There were some scene, that were a little inaproppiate, like when Uferth give Beowulf he's sword and what come out he mouth, which make little gaylish, then there the rating for this movie which i already commented, but this was really violent from Zemeckis part, i mean i ain't no conservator, but this ain't a pixar movie, i mean when ye gonna hear woody talk about fornication. And let not forget the violent that it have, that even the Monster Inc. could do, OK incredible could. And the story, which the were more story of this hero, but knowing that it base of a poem, that only in English class could one recited. But should have give more adventure tale, of what made him the warrior that he is.
So is worth for a 2dllrs more to see it in 3D. But they should have have given it more back story to it. But the movie work more as a 3d spectacle, like it did in shrek 3-D. But from story, and acting is another thing. So this is the future of movie in 3D. For me not really a least they could make it for a theme park. But is Epic, and entertain so this is something the men could joy. Just leave the kids, at home, watching the sleeping beauty movie, is more lighter violent epic movie .

Did somebody saw Horrorfest07?



























Horrorfest is a collection of horror film, view by 1week, that started last year. Now another year is upon us, and new films we be view in theaters, but there's problem. No one is gonna see them, not even the critics. So is up to me, show which were good, all i can say "It was better than last year"





This was my Fav of them all, cause is a mix of Hostel with some Wicker Man. Is like any horror film. The acting from most part have to go to Damian Alcazar as the former detective trying to catch a drug lord, but is the story that drove it to what could be the most strange event of disappearances of the country. Imean the suspense is something that could be made for a budget of 1mill, And the darkness of Sean Astin in the mix, also the shot of Mexico are real one that count , just by showing the building and the people, make me think that their 're director, that know My country well.



This one is produced, by the master of FXmake up, Stan Winton, What i like was the story about this man call Ian that every time he dies, he appear, in another life. In one hes doctor, he dies, now he a hockey player. That how it go. Only problem that i found was about the dark and smoking creature, that kill Ian, every time when he remember. they dont say much of the origin, and how they control the world around them, just they feed out of fear of men. This is a mix of Dark city with Groundhog day, also point out some the death ain't that good , only the torture scene in the hospital, showing the instrument that not even the guys of saw couldn't come up.






With movies showing how the end of the world could come, in many ways. But this one give a different perspective, a world with out gas. So what good about it. The story focusing on the survivors of a hospital been stalk by carnivals. what i like about it was the killing that go on, from a machete in the head, that something that never seen since dawn of the death's the bad ass of Michael Madsen, the only problem was, the story is short, don't show to much background to the characters, and the appearances of madsen was short. I would like him playing the main villain of the story. That could have given more terror to it.

Is been long that i haven't seen a monster movie, the last one was the Korean The host. Now come this one as i like to describe as Alien in the west. The action was fun, and the ways the creature kills, to the explosion of the gas station(was a little exaggerating on the count how the sheriff fly) to the twist that have , when stopping the monster. The bad part come from the special effects, it seem like this movie was made by the Sci fi channel movie of the week. The design of the beast was a cross of a raptor and alien(i to mean the Riddle kind) But overall entertaining.
So those were the one that i like, why i couldn't see the other, well i ain't made of money. with the prices for a ticket, no wonder there's a strike. Horrofest is best way to find the next generation of horror director, i know some of these film look to be made to DVD, but hey see just one and enjoy it, just be sure you're making and ass yer self, when you enter the theater.
See ya on Horrorfes08

Is Sin City mix up with Children of man, but ain't Clive Owen in them?


No one expected, that Clive Owen, would go so low, to make a movie where he say "I'm British nanny" and make it fun, I mean where ye gonna see a guy playing bodyguard to a baby, wraparound with a bulletproof vest. Oh and adding Paul Giamatti as reporting to the wife, about he where about, psycho hit man. Here the review.


PLOT: Mr. Smith(Clive Owen) Was sitting in a bench drinking he's coffee and snaking a carrot, when he saw a young pregnant woman been chase by arm mans. So he ignored at first, but then he made good deed. BY rescuing her, and shooting the arm mans which were lead by a former forensic consultant Hertz(Paul Giamatti). When Smith find that the girl was shot on the head, he take the baby then leave, going to the nearest bordello, where he need the help of everybody favorite sucking breast milk prostitute, Donna(Monica Belluci). While the bad guys try to find him. Why to they need the baby death? Who is Smith? What connection to the baby have a senator? And how many death body there is in this movie?


Ok lets get to the acting this is same performances that Clive did in Sin City as Dwight. Serious, dark vigilants,etc. Only different there is he eat a carrot, but what really make laugh more for this character is he problem with immoral people. Where he spend he time complaining about people behavior. But Paul Giamatti take this movie like a bullet hitting far better than Sideway.

He a mix of the aggressiveness of Yosemite sam, with sharp dialog ala Elmer Fudd. The acting was a complete homage to the looney tunes. Now the action , I'm gonna say this once, this far that John Woo, or the Wachowski Bro. could ever made, the wherehouse shooting, where Clive put all those guns hanging them. And only watching the security cameras he start shooting by just pulling some string, that something that would even occurred to Mel Gibson Mad Max. Or Not even close when it come to the sex shooting scene, that no porn movie, could show, a less ye would be making a snuff flick.


Think the most problem i felt by watching it, was on how many time they put the baby in danger, this ain't baby day out. Found it uncomfortable, just seen it. I mean i don't want sound like a conservative, but should have really tone down on that part.


They put this movie on the genre of action. But for me. Is more like The most fun that you could have , by seen the body count go. michael davis didn't reinvent nothing, but for he's 1rst movie, it wasn't bad. The love of a man for and action movie couldn't go away. So Congrats Michael cause i sure have some fun. And that's what is all about.

Resident evil3: if they told you is like mad max with zombie, well it is.


Resident Evil: Extinction.


The RE Franchise have been holding on thank to it success of the Box offices. Now the 3rd take us to the Nevada desert, where Milla premise her roll as the heroine Alice. Knowing that she the only lead female hero to struck gold in theaters, where many have fell example Dead or alive film, Halley berry Catwoman, and finally Angelina Tomb Raider. But this time does Milla slashedzombie head, or she get bitten. Here the review.


Plot: Since the last episode, Umbrella have lost control of the t virus, contaminating not only America, but the world. Turning the great city, into a carcass infecting angry slaughterhouses, and losing the way of life permanent. Now Alice, is been hunting by the corporation known as Umbrella, where the top scientist need and example of her blood, that can cure the infected. On the road, she meet up with a convoy, that is lead by Claire Redfiel(Ali Larter), Carlos(Oded Fahr), and L.j.(Mike Epps). And guide them to where there isn't danger, To Alaska. But Umbrella own scientist Dr Sam Isaac, is giving tap on every move, causing more death to the survivors of the convoy. Is last showdown between Alice and her doctor, before more dyes happen.


the story ain't that good, but keep the suspend for wanting more, I mean is nice to see Milla doing again the action, but what happen to rest of the cast of Apocalypse. They only show 2 that is Odeh And Mike. then what happen to little girl they save. They loose lot story, cause of not covering basic of what happen of the last movie. Imean there some flaw that would see, beside the one that said, also How did Claire Redfield form the convoy, especially they have put more mutated creatures base on the game, cause Zombie, dogs and crows are something that 70's can made. Now the action i think is the best of the flick, i mean the fire in the sky scene, was amazing, it remind me for some KFC. But the explosion of the end remind me of another zombie movie:

Anyone can say Zack 'Dawn of the death.


It was letdown by the end of the film, i mean they plan on continuing, only this time with a army of Alices. That just poor thinking. But it was great thjey put actual characters from the film , from the enigmatic and mercenaries Wesker to the disfigure Tyrant.


So if you planning to see it go on. But if you're a fan of the video game or the past films. Then dont expect a lot, cause the only time that we see Milla on her best performances is on a cover of a man magazine(if ye know what i mean.

happy independace days in Mexico.to Hollywood



Ye know Mexico have been the new location for Hollywood, i mean big star have gone to film there, i mean theirs Mel Gibson apocalypse, and milla RE:Extinction. But one thing they have to learn they don know how make a good Mexican film. That why i m calling this blog:

"Gringo's don't make Mexican film"

We Mexican are proud nation, of a culture, are ritual, and our craft on how rich is our country. But Now we got you guys for ruin it. Why? well lets take a troll, throughout history. There been good movies that Mexican people made:

  1. Los olvidados
  2. Rojo amanecer
  3. Y nosotros los pelado(actually that the best funny movie that we made)

But now you guys ruin it all. well, like putting us as the punchline on every joke, example The cheech and chong movies, filming only in horrible places in Mexico, the villages (we have city ye know), and of course the corruption(hey that doesn't mean ye guys got some, you were the one that invented capitalism). some of you don't care of our culture. oh wait a minute yes you do, you gave us, the antisemitic drunk , "i can crash the car anywhere" Mel Gibson. Who really doesn't know anything of the Maya. Really didn't you go to school, wait they cut the educational fund. Now i know my country have always been a sellout thank to you. But when you try to make movie about us. Try to put and actor who know Spanish's, but don't put Brad Pitt cause the only thing he know, is to be the bitch of a relationship. so here are 3 reason to make it a good, without embarrassing us:

-Don't put Danny Trejo on every Mexican movie: i know he been in prison . that what make him Mexican, but your wrong, he's more gabacho. Put more Robert Redford, i hear he need work.
-Stop filming us. Like we were a third country, that why you got New Orleans perfect places, showing something that Bush forgot last year.
  1. -Lastly, stop taking our best directors. Like Guillermo Del Toro, he would've made a lord of the ring with a mexican flavor, Alejandro Gonzales Iñarritu, Imean ye give him the glove, but not the oscar. You're torturing him. Alfonso Cuaron, that would've made our mexica version of american pie.

So Gringos the next time you make a Mexican movie, don't. Cause all we gonna hear from you is,"why i didn't put Danny Trejo". So to my My Mexican people, Feliz dia 16 de septiembre.


Ahora vamonos a comer chicharones. !A huevo Cabrone¡

Best horror so far for this year.


I remember going to my friend house to play he's atari 2600 and see john Carpenter classic Halloween, by the time that song started, i run out. And spend the rest of the day in my house.

Now i didn't have high hope for the remake, especially when they put Rob zombie as the

director. And boy i was wrong here the review.


PLOT: THERE NOTHING TO SAY.


Really there nothing to say about it cause, i didn't saw it as movie, but more of a shrink point a view. The problem of many critic was that, they thought it was just another awful remake a la House of wax. Rob Zombie really went to the depth of how a psychopath is made. There some disturbance , more in the first act. But that how a serial killer start. Look i know many of you don't agreed with this. But ye have to understand, today there many cases like this. I won't mention them but is clear view on how a child can be affected in a dysfunctional family. I know i not mentioning nothing about the movie. But understand this is by far the best horror that i seen so far, i mean jump from my theater seat, and any movie that can do that , it mean it have a story to tell.


This ain't another dumb remake , it have something to tell, it get to the mind of the killer, i won't say. But Mr. Zombie say it on he interview, he didn't wanna make it as another killer movie, but more on how a killer is made. John Carpenter would be so proud for this version.

It needed more balls to make it funny


I always love playing the game of ping pong , since at the age of 10, i go to the house of a uncle and play it. When i heard there was a movie about, i was more excited (more when they mention that Christopher Walken was gonna be in it), that gonna be made the same tean that made comedy central Reno 911. Now seen it left me with some problem that only one person can say it all. Here my review.


Plot: Randy Daytona(Dan Fogler) Was a promising ping pong player beating every countrys best, in the 88's South Korea Olympic, with the support of hes marine dad Sgt. Pete Daytona(Robert Patrick) (which have a beting adiction)when it come to he last match to a german douchbag Karl Wolfschtagg, Discovering that dad made a bet to some Chineese Gangs,. He losse

all concetration. Losing it, which dad daytone lose a head. 15 years past, Randy is now a ping pong entertainer in Las vegas, but when he cause to a member of the audiense a heartattack, he lose he only job. Come FBI Agent Rodriguez(George Lopez) to recruit him for a special mission, that involve the mafia that decapitated he dad. So he accept, But been long that he haven't play in a long time, take him to participe to local tornouments,. That in the 1st game he lose it, so now he take him to China Town where a wise master teach him the sport and art of ping pong, Master Wong(James Hong) and with the help of her niece Maggie Hong(Maggie Q), they prepare him to be the best ping pong player of all the tournament of Feng(Christopher Walken) before he beat the dragon and restore the honor to Master Wong that prohibited to teach to a gringo(that's george word). Will he enter to Feng tournament? Will master Wong teah him everythin there is? Will he meet hes archrival of the 88's olympic rival douchbag german Karl? Play it how it is with balls, small ones.


Now that you know that Walken is in it. Here he is writing the review with his own finger.

Oki toki then, now let me comment on Dan fogler acting, he remind me of a very chugy Jim Belushi, that he fatnes can make better movie than he. I see him as promising comic career, not belushi. Now george Lopez acting remind me of the last latino that i work that was in king of New York, Now let see Mencia steal that act. Maggie Q there ain't much to say about her, i mean she only show her body like that save of the bell girl that did showgirl. And what can i say abou James Hong, i didnt know he was in the movie. Now the slaptick aint nothing that i did in my career , accept the sketches on SNL. which 're the best, but this was fun todo, but slow in some gag, i mean this people made me drees like retarded Ghenhis Khan. And the glasses that i wear, i could be very much Katharine hepbun son. So some joke arte funny haha, but not much funny hohoho, i mean i wear wig that nothing chineese, accept for the eyes.


Thank you, overall is not your doutchball movie, but more of a rollerball remake, needed more straight story, with some hard passion too. But there some balls that you can dutch.
