disney bring their true magic, only this time it have nothing todo with CGI.
making snow white, sleeping beuty, little mermaid, and the grand masterpiece
beuty and the beast. But on star of the new century, pixar desthrone it, and brought a new style, that made them the surpreme rulers of the animation features. Now disney is recapturing the magic they had in the 90's, and doing it in the way, that only a true disney fan can enjoy:
New Orleans is the place, and the story begin. Where Jazz was born, and the celebration of Madi grass is anual tradition,that bring true magic of Louisssiana. where a young waitres is earning her money to open her very own Restaurant, Her name is Tiana(Anika Noni). Where she doesnt notice the arrival, of a very young errogant, womanizer, music loving Prince Naveen (Bruno Campos), he meet a man, that can promise him manny thing, money, women, a witch doctor Dr. Facilier(Keith Davis) only to be fool. One day Tiana is invited to a party of her best friend Charlotte(Jennifer Cody), where she meet a talking frog, that tell her if she kiss him, he we turn back to a prince. But soon we discover it come with a minor detail.
Tiana turn to a frog. Now they must find a way to return back totyheir human self, taking them to adventure where they meet the trumpet playing crocodile Louis(Michael-Leon Wooley) and the cajun firefly Ray(Jim Cumming)to find Mama Odi(Jenifer Lewis) and break the spell. So take a ride to the bayou, and discover the meaning of working hard and finding love, can take you.
For the voice acting was very New Orleans, from part of alll them especially of Michael Leon, where he loving of the trumpet brought the comedy of the film. And cumming became the very heart of the film, for he's interpretation of a timon like character. The enchantress of Anita voice, brought the true magic, of what a princes is. And the singing are something that only whitney houston could very be jealous off. The charisma of Campo gave the prince, truelly show of what the film trully is about(im sorry here, but i m not ready to go all girleyon the description). But it was great. And what can i say about keith Davis, love him on the spawn series, but the singing really doesn't qualified him.
The story really had a nice twist, with tiana turning to a frog,but didn't help wonder that it have the same plot point as another previous disney film call the little mermaid. The structure that it have follow as any disney film, that is know of, from the singing, to the drama that follow, but fell short, and not giving the time that the film needed. The witch doctor death it was to soon, and they didnt gave him enought spotlight on he's mishief. Imean hes the main antogonist, that follow the footstep of Capt. Hook, or otther disney villain. spoiler alert, The whole Kiss thing really confuse me, cause is suppose to be a princes that turn him, not a very Paris Hilton wannabe.
But the picture is save in the case of the supporting characters. But on the case of the comedy animation it have evolve, thank to pictures like Shrek, magdagascar, Up, Wall-E. that it have a very adult tone to it. Cause i felt that i knew what most of this character were going to. From the 3 hicks hitting themself, to the big butt, to how Louis was going to be receive by the human. Is all predicment. But hey it work.
Now the animatio, got go with Holy god christ, is finally to see back the 90's smooth animation that disney had. From the prince expression, that can only remind me of the warner brothers cartoons from Tiny toon, to Animaniac. To Louis singing and dancing in the bayou, that scene can only come from from the jungle book very own grey bear. And the water effect is something they should have use on the little mermaid. The dancing under sea seriously is something they wanted top off to the beuty and the beast scene, that got say didnt work. Is good to see their transition they did on the Tiana dream, going all bourlesque. Something that have done in Kung fu Panda.
So the film deliver something that nostalgic cartoon fan would wanna see. But the whole twist really felt it like the little mermaid. I m not saying they wanna bring the psark that made that film as a classic, but fell short. The movie will entertain the kids, but tyhe comedy will come short. On the age that tradition animation is being extint in the movie bizz. Cg reign surpreme, to the new mind making new , orinal story, to bringing a very new style of animation.
But you got to wonder, cg wouldnt be nothing, if only one man could have bring a drawing to life with just just moving a paper.
Now as for the story, i think went is about a fairy tale.
I m going on what Zenescope have.

This is how E.T. would react.
There have been a lot invasion story coming from comics, books, movies. But so little when it come to making contact, Peter Jackson bring as something so very unique that only him could elaborate, and with a help of a new director of course name Neil Blomkamp. Showing a alternative version of the immigration problem happening in Africa. The world is watching for this review:
In 1982 a spacecraft appear in Johannes, South Africa. In which man discover a new raise of alien, calling them the prawn. In which they were found them in horrible condition. Helping them by giving full and water, they were settle in a nice camp call District 9. But the citizen of Johannes weren't all please cause of the trouble they were starting, from the looting to the rioting. But the district was also changing to a slump, were the crime rule supreme, making harder to the visitor to live,from giving weapon in exchange for food. Now the world appointed the second weapon manufacture to relocate the Prawn to their new home, the MNU Multi-Nation United promote to one of their employ of the alien affair to Wikus De Merwe in charge of the operation. Heading to the District the world watch est on how the prawn live, how they battle for food, knowing they are being evicted. From burning their breeding houses, to making some arrest those who hide weapons, but when 2 in particular start mixing some chemicals, the MNU is at the door waiting to see what inside. Mr. De Merwe discover a can that will turn him into the most valuable fugitive for he's company. What secrets lie in district, and what effect is gonna have to Mr De Merwe life?
Sharlto Copley play a sympathetic, and kind like that boss who just wanna be your best friend(like Steve Correll in the office) that you really feel bad for what is happening. Is a great protagonist for this kind of film, especially for one that is been hunting down by he's own company. The relationship that he have with he's father in-law, make why he is always nervous.
The concept that film follow about the immigration is something good. There been many films that follow from Babylon to Borderland, but only focusing on the Mexican immigration. Just thinking that segregation was left behing in the 60's. But not in Africa, from the way of life, from scavenging in the thrash, to the wave of crime that happens, and of course the thing they do to survive. Neil come from south Africa it was good seen the perspective on how thing work. Stylising it with a documentary start the film feel so real, like is really happening, then later turn it into a thriller a la fugitive. The scenery that the film have is almost of Brazil film city of god, from the thrash and the debris that the prawn live, make ya wonder that how we treat foreigners? i kind like the twist when the use Wikus to test the alien weapons, only showing again that major corporation are always in for the money. Thank you Michael Moore.
Man the action that the film have it was made for the Halo project that went flat. from the variety of weapon they show, from ray gun that turn ya into gug, to a pulsar gun that will give will smith little gun from Man in Black a run for the money. The massacre could only come from the vision of Peter Jackson, comparing it to he's first film, you can only say that's Bad taste. period. Ok i havent forgot of the mecha, i mean watching it in action, make me to get in one too.this is truly the excitement of the film, shooting a lot of mercenaries to some turning them into water. it can only be compare to the robocop 2 that really is cain, the bad guy of Robocop 2.
Alien contact are follow like in films Alien nation, ID4 to third kind. But they bring something new and original, the secret that the film have since it premier of the trailer in may. Peculiar on the subject of what the film was all about, already hail from the critic there's no surprise on why there's few films take the risk showing something that only the audiences would only understand.
Jackson prove again that there's is originality in films specially in the sci-fi genre. With the same statics on making a documentary and turning it into something that only a child could dream up. Seriously is time to discover the new talent that are coming to Hollywood, salute to Neil for he's first film.

Aint this the 90's joes.
Now they have a movie, that follow the greatest threat that humanity will ever face, and only a secret squad can only stand them, with a little joke aside thank to a certain Marlon Wayans, and of course to the brilliant (comedian) director of Stephen Sommers. Does this army follow the same continuity that of the cartoon or the comics? or they do the unthinkable make snake eye talk? here's my review:
Mars Company have just developed the first nanobot weapon, that have the capacity to devour everything, any kind of material, until nothing is left. Giving to Duke(Channing Tatum) and his convoy to protect it, and transported, to a near site, until they re ambush by a certain group led by woman in black call by the baroness(Sierra Miller) that have a past with our hero. All of sudden a new team save them, retrieving the packages and saving them. With nowhere to go, they head to the Sahara desert, were the secret headquarter is. Run by General Hawk(Dennis Quaid) G.I.JOE is a secret army that doesnt answer to no one, training the best of everyfield, soldiers that come from every part of the world. Facing any kind of menace that have existed. So when CEO of Mars McCullen (Christopher Eccleston)inst please to what happen, he try to invade it instead with a little help of two more enemy the ninja for hire Storm shadow(Byung-hun Lee) and the disguise Zartan(Arnold Vosloo) , which successfully they get. Now is a matter of time until they activate the nanobot, and used it in any part of the world?
And what relationship that duke have with the baroness and he's brother?
Mount up to fight, cause this is only the beginning of a war.
it seem the serious acting went to Tatum, being the center protagonist of the film than Dennis Quaid, and of course Eccleston that really pull of that evil business attitude that same of Michael Douglas in wall street. Marlon Wayans really as a soldier, he felt something that came from Ivan Reitman Stripes, cause this man couldn't shut up, making him as the joke of the film. He should have given some acting like in Requiem. Adewale when all stuff on this one, he wasn't bad thank to the training scene that he give, bad just one scene we see him shooting a big gun.Sierra Miller didn't impress me as the baroness cause been as a bad girl doest fit so much. Scarlet play by Rachel Nichols was giving that the same cliche act of tough woman later turning to sweet girl that star to care. Really felt something out of a John Hughes film. I think the real treat that we have to go snake eye play by Darth Maul himself Ray Park and storm shadow Byung-hun, being the popular character of the G.I.Joe roster. Silent does qualified for good acting so does serious face.
O.k the action was play out something out of a Michael Bay film but with snoring of Cg. Sommers is recognized by he use of effect on the action sequences. For the Paris chase scene, it seem like he always wanted to use some bullet time effect. The accelerators was very neat idea, but some of the action play out fake. The jumping scene of duke was awesome, but for Marlon getting hit every time, real make ya lose the excitement. Now Scarlett guiding arrow scene, was something that one was expecting, thank to today technology. Igot say it wasnt bad seen the Eiffel tower falling, to the high flying of Marlons it accomplish. The underwater battle scene it so similar to the naboo fighters of the phantom menaces. But i wont avoid the great Kung fu action that it have thank to (again) Ray and Byung.
Now i didn't like the relationship that duke had with the baroness, i mean she supposed to be the love of Destro. And what about the whole nanotech, i mean i have read about, and there's actual test going. But i felt is something that wasn't well play. Another thing since when is Ripper the love interest of Scarlett, i mean I'm not a racist, but snake eye get her or duke. Than there's the Rex character play by third rock Joseph Gordon, that he give he's worst Darth Vader interpretation, than later turning to Jason X, i mean serious. The hologram thing is something that i found cool, but the needle in a guy head, who's wrote this? Sommers directed this films based on the 90's version that really brought the cartoon down, but the action had the 80's feel.
I not saying the film is bad, but just the acting, from the nanotech to the accelerators the film guarantee entertainment. There's no drama to be found in the picture but just slapstick jokes, which Sommers is well know. I dig Van Helsing, yeah you read it, i love it. But the film is more of a army film, it should have follow as many, from Black hawk down, to hell even G.i. jane,(with out the male nudity). But of course is bade on a toy line, so of course is target to kids. But doesn't mean it should be a letdown. A least they should have ended with one their famous PSA. that would have been funny.
The Joes have many reincarnation, from the best 80's cartoon to the what were they thinking when they turn them to Extreme, than later to sigma six, which became good. The series is well know by the many character that it have but i should have love to see some dreadnought. Expecting a sequel to follow the film could change, but the way the fan or the audience that are new to the series, may change. Of course this year is not the movie tat they did, but a new exclusive web animated series written by the man that could ran Brian Michael Bendis money, Warren Ellis, call: G.I.JOE Resolute check it at YouTube. Making ya remember what the Joe was all about.
Next stop District 9 and on Wednesday check out my segment on bisexual in Hollywood, i be making comparing them with tortas, see ya then.

Till darker, but this time there's a surprise
Another year star in Hogwart school of wizardry, where Harry Potter(Daniel Radcliffe) and he's friends Hermione(Emma Watson) and Ron(Rupert Grint) that await for them another adventure only this time, Harry will discover new spell, and potion when he find a book, that was belong to the half blood prince, that hold the most powerful, and darker magic. But when a new teacher Prof. Horace Slughorn(Jim Broadbent) replace Prof. Severus(Alan Rickman) in portion class, Prof. Dumbledore set Harry to investigate him, cause he may hold the key to stop and destroy the dark master. While Ron became the new star of the quittitch, he begin to have some girl problems, that only Hermione cannot confes her true feeling. As for Harry arch nemesis, Draco(Tom Felton) begin to sneak to the hogwart attic where he practice a special spell to a closet, that hold the downfall of everything. Will Harry find out the secret that Dumbledore is looking from horace? Who is the Half blood prince? and Will Hermione finally express her feeling to Ron?
Well if you read my Top ten summer movies you know how feel for the series, but hey first the acting, it was great they put one of my favorite character that is Luna, the pale, and strange girl, till can see thing only this time wearing some 3d spect, she very well be the Tim Burton tone that the movie needed. Daniel, Emma, and Rupert till reprise the roll well, till the detectives that always get the case close. But got say it was Rupert that steal the show this time. With he's girl problem it set the comedy to be the true entertainment. But it was the silly and the always forgetting Prof Horace play by Jim Broadbent, felt the same sense humour have watching a play.
So here hoping will get to see more of him in the other films. Now Michael Gambon role for Dumbledore took the center stage on the adventure, as becoming the true mentor of Harry, something that was building up since the first, which most of the drama came from him, and well done i say. And finally far the best i gotta handed to Tom Felton that also take the spotlight as he character really have grow into something that most teens aren't proud, the suffering the doubt and the secret made him as the next baddie that the Potter universe was waiting for.
Now the Story most of the comedy went to Ron Problem with girl, from the time he make he's try out as the new quittich new defend, and that crazy admire that really bring the snokom(i dont know what that mean). The new teacher like i mention before is the most fun since Kenneth Branagh of the chamber of secret. Now the drama was something that truly lead to something from the moment you watch the flashback that we meet a very young Tom Riddle, to where he discover a spell that leave him immortalize. The chemistry between Harry and Dumbledore, was something that can only be remember since star wars episode 6, of Luke have the same mentoring of Obi Wan.
Now the effect where like always astonishing in the aspect of the brige effect, when the dark smoke fly by, only to brake, but the best have to go to Dumblebore fire tornado, in the water caves, remind me of the ten commandment, when Moises rise the water. As for the quittich scene, somebody have been watching lot Soccer. And they say American don't like that sport. Knowing they got a all female team that won a cup.
So i felt there was more action missing, knowing that the screenplay is adapted by the 6th book of this series, i think it was more of a detective story. But hey since from the first to the 2nd it always had that feel, but since the prisoner of azkaban that all change, making it more of adventure line. But got say it was the secrets, that sold me. And the surprise that await on the end really left me breathless. The acting is good with the same teen drama that most follow.
Well with the final chapter split into two, there's more that we can see. The serious is already been replace by another supernatural something that involve Vampire, but doesn't mean it have lost it vibe. From today fan they will certainly enjoy this one. As for me is till not the best, cause really is to dark till.
Next stop yo joe.

What i said in 2006, stay corrected thank to this film.
Bruno is everywhere when it comes to fashion week, Bruno knows what in and out, Bruno knows the latest fashion around the world, for been the host of he own TV show, until he ruin a fashion walk in Milan, thank to what he was wearing (velcro). He set out to Hollywood to become a star. From giving a interview to American Idol Paul Abdul, while sitting on a Mexican, to becoming a extra on show, while smoking, to even choosing he's own charity, that involve uniting the Jewish and the palestine, so he decide to make a detour to Africa, where coming back to U.S.A., brings a baby in a box, giving the star potential that will put him on a talk show in Texas. But when he's baby is taken away, thing gets more chain. From going to a anti gay protest, to been handcuff in a buss. Broken he find a way to even make himself famous, to get a wife. Seeking a counsel that guide him to be a hetero, from fighting anybody does it gay, to becoming a soldier, to even joining a swinger club, that get him whip a lot, by voluptuous blond(i just add that). 8month past, that now he's straight, and hosting a MMA fighting event, but when someone from the audience call him the f word, he challenge him, discovering that is he's old assistant?
Will Bruno confront him? Or will he stay with the straight mustache?
Im a Borat fan, so i will say the bad thing later. Right now lets talk about what the fun apart, that will make a Mexican(like me) exercise more the back. Sacha hit another with Bruno, i got give him credit, from acting as true everyday gay or someone take the gay thing way to serious. From making her show to a group of audience, where even he private part say he's name. To making he's first interview with Paula, that really challenge Family Guy creator Seth Macfarlane on the Mexican jokes, hell he even got Sir Elton John sitting on one. To trying get kidnap by some Arabians terrorist, that really not even Bush couldn't do. To what is the infamous adoption since, Woody Allen marry one. Sacha went with all on this ones. It have never been done on how the road to popularity could be so fun. Even with the many dildos that it have, yes is explicit, yes is outrageous, and yes is fun till the end.
The downside that i fell on this one it was so repeated to he's previous one, if you make the same similarity it pretty much follow the same plot, only more gayier. the provocative that it have is different, but the way is told, well is the same. The assistant character is the same thing, that Borat had with he's producer, but of course it didn't involve plaything. And the outrageousness that he have in the swinger club is the same on the dinner scene of Borat. But on this one it have skin. Bruno may or could be the it of this year, but follow the same remedy.
So what ever character Sacha could come up, it will make money in the theater. But will provoke, and laugh all at the same time. But trying to repeat the same phenomenon, is something that already gives the joke away. But till give him credit to what he brought on this one, a lot gay entertainment, and the homophobia that America have, well a least the south.

there was blood, but missing a lot
There were a lot flaw when it came to the original anime movie that is based on. Now the same producer who brought back the kung fu for cinema, take a crack to the anime and turn it into actual movie. Manny have try in turn something that came from the land of the samurai, and the hentai(Dont ask). That only a independent studio could do it. But with the budget, actors, and story did they made justice, even having one of the finest fight choreographer of Asia, to more? Here the review:
IN 1970 America was in war, in air base somewhere in china, a new transfer student is starting he's first day. Saya(Gianna Yun) is a very quiet and serious person that she always carry a tube on her back, when she see a fellow student been harass by two class mate in the school gym, she just hit the tube with a kick, catching a sword that came out, and star decapitating. Last of her raice Saya work for a secret organization call the council, dedicated to find and kill the blood sucker that have the name of demons. But now when news get, that the mother of demons come for a feast, Is time for some good old sweet payback. But with a general daughter Alice(Allison Miller)caught in the battle, when agent council go all rogue, is time for sentiment to be fill will Saya get her vengeance or saving her only friend change everything?
Benn a Asian film pretty much of the acting fell something coming out of a Chevy Chase movie. New star Gianna felt like the kind of act that bruce Lee did on the enter of the dragon, with lots of mispelling, and with saliva too. Allison part, fell something out of the CW drama series. The cleaners were the true stereotype of the film. Cause really have manny movie had have that, from the matrix to the Jack Ryan movies, just leaving everything spotless. they should cast Mr.Clean.
Now the fight sequences where nice chorea graph, from the street fight, that really bring some of the classic kung fu fighting, to even the Kato fight, With some old school ninjas. But the moves felt kind of repeated, however using little wire work, the street fight felt the most exciting, cause the Saya can use a street car, with a lot kicks. There was more deception when it came to some sword fighting, that really you have to wait until the end of the film, when came to the mother of all the demons. That felt very similar to the last battle of Dark City, with the shouting and the pushing. And you don't need to be psyche for it. The fight are the selling point for the movie. Only i was expecting more to the final confrontation.
The story does some resemblances to the Anime, from the Gym fight to the first demon slashing, but i felt confuse when it came to the curiosity of the general over the Council men. The movie try to represent another teen thriller, with the acting that it have, and since when Saya care for somebody. Cause i recon on the anime she was more bad ass then caring, like Diesel on Riddick. Knowing that the movie is much longer than of the anime. The story leave lots loop hole, from going rogue with the council to suddenly seen who her mom is.
And finally the cg of the movie, is not a Hollywood thing, but it felt it was more stop motion a la Ray Harryhausen. I mean it was the lighting that need the twit for . But the desing need work cause really they look like a dry up bald NBA superstar.
So my final verdict is there no justice neither the comic or even the anime, the fight sequences are good, but some recycle. The acting made it more of a teen comedy, than the story that follow it. The only thing that was missing was the connection that Saya had with christ, cause every time she hear that name, anger come out of her. Guest was something that the censor, or even the director wouldn't touch. Even the Asian got no business on that.

johny Deep is John Dillinger, what Humphrey Bogart was in Casablanca
You know is strange there's a movie right, showing the same thing of today. What to a mean by that. The 30's the great depression, the prohibition years, were news are turning into tabloids, and were projected in theater's. But is not about that, famous action director, Michael Man come back for he's next shoot out film starring Johny Deep, and Christian Bale, playing the game of cat and mouse in public enemies, reviving the 30's in their own fashion:
John Dillinger(Johny Deep) is mouth talking, charismatic,lady's man, bank robber, knows many ways to escape prison. Living the fast lane pursuing everything that he ever wanted. With a gang at he side, he was unstoppable on every height he did. Turning him into the number one gangster of America. That all change When bureaucrat J. Edgar Hoover try to create the first bureau of investigation, declaring war against crime, were a certain marshal is giving the job to bringing justice to Dillinger. Agent Melvin Purvis( Christian Bale) following he's popular reputation, he form a team to follow any lead or clue where he could be. But when the untrained eye get the best of them the heat fall to agent Purvis, is time to call to the profession. Dillinger enjoy he life to the fullest, with a dame at he side Billie Frechette(Marion Cotillard), nothing could go wrong? Except friends dying every where, and some they don't know ya. Time change, crime change, becoming Public Enemy.
Between Johny and Christian going southie on for this role, ain't that bad bad. Following the same step of the 30's movies, with the wise acting to the same grim style that it have. first Deep charisma, fun enjoying persona,is the true entertainment. The man can very well be your date for the prom, with a similar act that he did on what eating Gilbert grape, but with a upgrade. Oscar winner Marion give the chemistry that really make the innocence of the film.Christian bale seriousness southie act, give the true suspense of the film, so does he team, with the determination that drove him to do he's job, but till is nothing out of the ordinary on this one.
The camera work is pretty much the same style of the old black n white news footage's that they show in the movie. I t have always been the signature tone that's Man have done on he's previous film, from collateral to Miami Vice. But the music, that's where he deserve much of the respect for, that really give you that vibe of the 1930's.
For the story it focus most on how Dillinger made he's escape, from talking the guard clothes, to fooling everyone that he had a gun(knowing that it was made of wood). To taking him to stardom, from just being capture. But also what made this film interesting the creation of the FBI. That Hoover struggle so much to form, trying to convince congress to do. But more importantly the method they used to interrogate, and find clues. From making deal with the crooks, to even pushing the limit of the mob. The action sequences are the best but ore when it came to the ambush of night,felt the same shoot out of the heat but retro looking, but what really was exaggerating was how much lead that baby face needed to go down, it felt like the guy on the arrow in the neck of kingdom of heaven. the scenery that most of the gun fight seem forgiving from the perspective of the crooks.
So if you know the way Michael Man make films, then there's nothing new to it, except for the acting. Cause most of the action sequences are really long and sometime, not so believable. But hey he have done great crime films, from heat to this one, cause the 1930's scenario was something that he really focus on especially for a film like this.

Megan Fox, hot body. The end.
With the sequel of the 07 hit, which launch her career, she make seconds on this one. While making promotion tour all around the world, the only thing that this actress can do, is whine, cause many folk are comparing her to Angelina Jolie. But hey what about the film, oh yeah i forgot, Michael bay bring back the famous robot in disguise, but introducing a new villain that never made a appearance in the classic cartoon, but just in the toy line, and it come with a twist since when is megatron a pupil? Here the transformation to the review:
Two year have past, now the transformers have join with the army, to form a special unit call NEST. Their mission to hunt down all around the world the remaining decepticon, casualty are high, but saving lives is the first priority. Until the governor star to questioning the methods of the whole operation, on why there's till decepticon coming? But for optimus, he's only concern is the arrival of the fallen. Meanwhile Sam Witwicky is preparing and packing up to go to college, until something drop from he's backpack, a piece of the all spark, giving him knowledge of new source of energy that only the Alien Machines are interested. While a decepticon satellite hack to the world communication revealing info about the remaining piece of the all spark, by sending one of he's ravager, they manage to steal it, and starting the resurrection of Megatron. Back in college Sam discover that he been having vision of words, that are connected to something that really make him the target to the decepticon, So once again he will need the help of the auto bots, and he's friends to keep him safe, that's until one key member die. Changing everything, so now Sam must rely on himself and he new roommate Leo, to find the only person that can help him to decipher the words that he have seen. Taking them from New York to Egypt, while the martial law is call upon the Autobots. Will humanity fall at the hand of the fallen and hes decepticon? Or they will find a source or a key that can bring back the one that can defeat them? Autobots roll out. The fallen came.
Ok how can you see i dint actually mention the actors, cause there weren't. Shia lebouf play he best shaggy interpretation on this one by the screaming, and the running, but he's new friend make the best gag of the film, new comer to the series Ramon Rodriguez, making homage to the famous 07 web video"Don't Stace me bro" and doing it on the nuts, even better when he join former sector 7 agent John Turturro. That really become the Anthony Anderson of the film now. From he obsession of alien coming to earth to going all squad leader. Now there were some actual acting from part of Megan Fox, Not Oscar worth, but fun as much, ah who am kidding, her beauty is till intact, even better when you see her running in slow motion, but the one really lets it all out is Isabel Lucas as the decepticon spy fembot, i think her role was short but it work for the men. Hey i know really there's no real acting, the whole thing play out as a scooby do episode, but wonder not cause is Michael Bay film that mean-
Lots of action, and this time they went global, from the world domination to introdusing lots decepticon and autobots. From the opening of the film that take place in hong kong to the climax stand off in Egypt. The explosion were there every moment even the fighting were better than of the first. Best moment go to the new upgrade that optimus get, to showing off the latest military tech. It was the double the dust that rise on this film. even better when it came to the military forces facing off against the decepticon. You gonna see some tank firing that have never seen before(if you count any anime film have ones). It felt more like more of a military film, showing off what they got, and why they want to recruit you.
Ok enough with the action cause the one making them are the star of the film, it was finally time to show what sound wave can do beside making fun of him on a episode of robot chicken, they turn him to a satellite, that really went well, even better seen that he till hold he's famous cassettes minions like ravagers, that design of a puma mix with the alien rule. The twins Mudflap and skid play as the twosome destroy some, is like a cross of the wayans brothers and their films, they were the fun streak of the movie, from the way they speak to the way they fight even better when finally they get some action against the devastator. Hugo weaving voice role of Megatron was longer, which gave the evil that first one need it. But is Peter Cullen who end up been the Godfather to the film and bringing that 80's feel to it. John Tuturoo voicing the age old jetfire was fantastic,, voicing a retired decepticon is nothing to fart about cause trust me there is some of it. And everybody favorite Bumblebee till continue been the sidekick. My only complain is why they turn RC to a bike and not into a car, cause she could look so good in pink covert, and it would be better see the autobots taking on the humungousaur of the devastator, then John "I die for my country"Turturro? cause really it wasn't necessary seen the ball(just see the pyramid scene, you get me).
The story this time was darker just like they said, but it was cool. Cause if you dont know your G1 cartoon then really ye ain't from that generation. I mean the new team up of the military and the Autobots, was great way the story needed to go, and bringing some element from the first transformer animated movie was perfect. The decepticon role were the main focus, even better when it came to the true relation that megatron have with starscream, ahhh memory. The backstory that it have was perfect, the many mysterious that our history have, and evolve with the many modern age vehicles that been made. Nice touch, the film really felt like true 80's episode. Well done.
So now that most of the focus is gonna be on Mega Fox chest, there's nothing to complain about. Except in recent news that this will be Bay last tranformer film, cause he wanna move on other project. Well i don't know to say about that, cause this one was perfect than the first. But the man knows he's art. The third one is waiting in the corner to be made, and who know what director will continued it.
With today economic many of this automobile company are going out of business, is good to know that their vehicle will see the light of day, with new bosses i mean. The action is better, expect to see lot of transformers this time. expect many surprises to come. And yes Mega Fox will till be there.
Next stop Bruno, ahh is good to be gay(fan i mean)

Yeah that's what happen in vegas, in movie term.
Well now he set the director chair to a place where man, can only forget about everything, where weddings are way cheap than a 99cents stores, gambling is a art of math, than just counting carts, and where big paper view event are premier, than Mari ah Carey concert. In the mortal words of John Favreau 's swingers Vegas, Vegas baby. Here's the review.
Is Doug(Justin Bartha) last night as a single man, so a bachelor party is on demand and what better place to do than in Vegas. Made by he's friend's the con school teacher Phil(Bradley Cooper), the wife dentist pet Stu(Ed Helm), and he's weird brother in law Alan(Zach Galifianakis). They spend a night in one of vegas luxurious resort Cesar palaces. By the time they settle in their sweet, a toss is made, but after that, they wake up in their room all mees up, with a chicken running around, a living tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, a missing mattress, but they realize that Doug is missing, so a quest begins that take them to more mischief from stealing a police car, to getting arrested for it, to show kids how to use a taser gun. But wait there's even more, a Asian gay guy who was inside their car drunk, to even one of them getting marry to a stripper call Jade(Heather Graham), to even winning a 80thousand worth of poker chips. They have to follow the clues to find the man, and get to the wedding a fast, as Elvis painkiller jar. "What ever happen in Vegas, stay in Vegas, except herpes cause that stays forever"-.Sid Garner.
The cast for this film is just outrageous, if you think what Todd did to Assembling a comedy cast in Old School, than this is true follow up. Bradley Cooper did a stunning performances as the negotiator/rebel of the bunch, he very well be the next Vince Vaughn with the smart acted style.With he's already fun acting in the offices as the over emotional Andy, well on this one he's actually the conservative one, until he's tooth is gone missing that turn him into the whiner of the bunch, making him the second best of the film. But where have Zach have bee? From making web interviews funnyordie.com, to making TV shows, this man deserve a star in Hollywood walk of fame, with he's odd remark, to moving a baby hands(don't ask), to getting punch by Iron Mike. Hes beard stays in all the film. But lets not forget Mr.Chows Ken Jeong godfather act, play it pretty pink, if you love him as the king in Role model, than you will love he's scream and behind. And one more thing i can believe Heather Graham is still a hottie.
So what you need to see the film, from the tazer in the face Zach, to taking a sleeping tiger to the owner house. There's a million of thing that make this film a great Martini drink. Following in step as films road strip, and Old school, is the million thing that can happening Vegas. From the Zach remarks, to Ed screaming in a Celine Dion concert, to Philips getting hit by a crowbar, the film has it all.The Carlos scene(that's the baby) are the best to begin with, to Ed and jade wedding pictures, to the finally of where Doug was. Proving how Buddy flick is made, with lots a liquor and drugs.
I cannot even compare to any other road strip or buddy flick, than the new terminator film or any memory lost film ever made. But the director made a very wise movie, the way that is men ted to be. With lot of Vegas films, from self and loathing to leaving, you got go with this one as the best for comedy. The acting is fun, the jokes are very new and improve, and for the love of the beard and stomach, Zach and Ed shine on this one.
Land of the lost is already out, and by the critic and moviegoer, is sure low, that will make Ferrell go back and make the follow up to the Anchor Man film. The hangover prove how one night in Vegas could end up been the best night than college night(if yer a freshman of course).
And word for the wise stay when the credit star, cause you really don't wanna miss what really happen.

Apology to anyone that was expecting my top pick films of summer 09.
same plans, components, machinery,model, it works.
In the year 2003 a death row inmate by the name of Marcus Wright(Marcus Worthington) donate he's body to sciences, by signing to Cyberdyne. The year is 2018, humanity was decimated, when the defense program call sky net was activated, Judgment day came when the bomb were drop around the world. Where a resistance soldier John Connor(Christian Bale), discover plans from sky net for a new terminator model, taking the info to he's superior, he is brief by a new weapon, a frequency that can shut down the machines. Meanwhile Marcus see the destruction of what once was Los Angeles, where he make contact with terminator, until he's is rescue by a young man name Kyle Resse(Anton Yechin), where he take him to see the resistance. Back on the resistance base Connor is puzzle by the recording of her mother, telling him about he's father and the importance, Marcus and Kyle stop by in a gas station, where they are attack by a couple Hunter killer, escaping Kyle get capture leaving Marcus behind, where he meet a fighter pilot of the resistance Blair Williams(Blair Bloodgood), that take him to her base, where a mine bomb change Marcus, revealing something that not even Connor could' n believe. When both meet face to face, is war. But the fate of Kyle Resse lies in their hands, so now they better work together, and discover the radical change of Marcus body ? The only fate that humanity have, is just one name John Connor.
Christian Bale acting was very soft tone spoken the same way he did in rescue dawn, But when he go commando that where the shouting begin. Marcus Worthington is already a star in the making, with high octane action, With a mean madmax actitud, the star is gonna be a action hero(here hoping he doesn't make the wrong choices like Ben). Bloodgood romance date was already to soon, a person in the audience yell "to soon". Which i concur on that. They should have waited in the film like coming from a dangerous mission. She was suppose to be the strong female that Linda Hamilton did, but i think they went short. Anton this guy is already making bank thank to another blockbuster(Star Trek) he went out all Shia Lebouf, in believing that there's hope, and the admiration he got from Connor, was somebody that you meet in line, to see this film, very fanatic. So they where any drama acting, but it was well play for a film, cause really went you watch a terminator film is not all about the story,
But the action, that cause it got the die hard formula, that every minute there's something waiting to go boom. From Bale shooting a turret to a T-300 head, to the Struck sequence, where we see t-biker flying straight to a Hunter Killer, To even the great bionic escape. Some body have been playing modern Warfare a lot, to get the war scenery done right, from the dust lifted of the explosion, to the camera shot of the escape that only Alfonso Cuaron did in Children of men. Yes i notice that this scene are already been done from the previous films. But they gave it their own interpretation, that work, thank to new twig they did. But the most memorable action scene is gonna go to the fighting with the t-800 where definitely they needed t2:grenade launcher, any film that pour lava than pressure to one this, is action seal of approve.
But let talk about the many terminator they show, with today films Wall-e to latest transformer, there's big T-600, that is loaded with a gauntlet gun, and a bomb launcher, and already swanager bod. Then there's the Hunter Killer ship, that it was cool by sticking with the original design, then there's the real tank one the T-100, that haven't change from the third terminator, that in today standard they already been made in real life. Then there's the transformer size Harvester, that works as the human swipe, that pick them, and drop them to the carrier. And let not forget the rolling skating bike that come from he's legs, that leave me to say to a certain robot director, that could have work for Soundwave.
And the many phrase are till there, that every actor say, is like every 20minute someone say something memorable, i mean is a formula that have work from the 2 sequel. But the tone will never be same from the original.
The movies work as a prequel, from telling it where it all begin.
It was a dream of my see the future of the terminator films, With the many model they introduce to the concentration camp, plus their base of operation, that leave ya, man that's while we love it. From the many shooting that not even a Disney film have in their library of films.
Make this a must see for this summer, of course it does cover some of the mytho of first film, but not of the 2nd. So there's more to tell.
Mc G really went all grim, that the others are know for. But he really have work on the acting i mean it wasnt camping or silly, but it felt more of a tv films. He know how to do action right, that thank got he didn't used wire, except from the car that is drop to one t-600. But it works, he really did justice to, from following the continuity to the many fan favorite Arnold phrases. He truly understood what the terminators films are all about.
If you wanna see another great summer flick go with this, a high budget that the movie have, it would make Paul McCartney not to get third wives. And the surprise that it have, that just have sheer, cause it wouldn't be Terminator without the original. Period.

Ah christ moment present: Dragonball Evolution
miércoles, 8 de abril de 2009
New parts, new models, but need a better plot.
When this film came out is started a new trend, in mechanic, machine, design, that only the Mtv crew could ever exploit(that when Britney went bald). That even other channel follow it to, from the pimping, to the challenge, made more kids wasted their high earning college money to make their their ride look pretty, even more than the girlfriend. Now the original gang are back finally with new cars, new racers, new chases, but all that was left the hood of the story open.
Dom Torretto(Vin Diesel) is back and this time with a new team, doing what their best, only this time in the south America, but when the police catch up. The is time to move on to another country. Leaving he's only love the fearest and risk breaker of Letty(Michelle Rodriguez) . Meanwhile back on L.A. Brian O'Conner is now reinstated to the F.B.I., cracking down a drug Cartel that have been hiring Drivers for trafficking cocaine from the Mexican border, that have the name of Braga. But when Dom receive a call from he's sister Mia(Jordana Brewster) telling that Letty was kill. That lead him to investigate it, that lead him to the same Cartel as O'Conner. When both receive the same name of David Hick, that get them into a race that will get them closer to Braga. Where now they have to transport the goods, for the cartel, by doing it from a hidden cave, but Dom vendetta could ruin their cover up, And O Conner bosses want to shut the case. They have to separate their differences, and bring once that friendship back, that take them to face a whole army of the cartel. And yes drive some new model cars with the latest state of the art GPS(Im a techhead too), burning wheel along the way.
Ok let star with the acting, i mean the Vin one was the same that he used in another movie (The chronicle one) And really what glow for this guy is the in jokes that play well for he's persona. Paul Walker till show the same rookie performances as the first, it was like they were repeating the first part all over again. So there ain't real acting or Drama, but i think the ladies will like just for the pretty faces.
The story wasn't that bad, i really dig the hate they have at the beginning of the film, then later come the reconciliation, that really had that 48hr buddy thing. But wish i could have love the changing point when Vin discover that it was Paul fault for the Letty death, that could have bring something new for the movie. Now the new enemy being a drug cartel, is something that they recycle from the 2nd, that really they have went with something big or small, like a gang or something else. And the most predictable thing of all, who was playing the main bad guy, that's t when they went with the saw surprise. It s felt they wanted make a more streetish version of a James Bond movie. But is not all that bad, is the action :
I got say they brought some very new stunt to the film, from the last car chase from the tunnel, it felt like the pod race mix with some very cool pitch black effect, then lets not forget Vin jumping car moment, l mean where to you think he got that idea(hint the video game he did with car's). The gps car race, was new add for the film, cause when it came to the GPS guiding direction scene, that something tron that could too. And the great truck robbery was well choreograph, when it came to the stealing of the tanks, but true suspense come from the downhill, that let me say this once , a car passing over a rolling flaming tanker, is so gone in 60 seconds.
It was truly strange to see Justin Lin back to directing it. The man knows action, i bet he have been playing burnout or some need for speed and doing it in a very tony scottish way. Is also cool to see how Dom knew Han from the tokyo drift(i bet to critic didnt that find that). But the weird thing is it a sequel or a prequel to Tokyo, i mean where's Digs from the 2fast, they left plenty of loopholes that it wasn't explain.
Well it works more as entertainment, than something that could start a trend all over again.But really i only went to see director Justin again, that drift wasn't that bad. Furious always had that street style that made it for me something new, and original. But while the sequel came, is have been loosing that style, and going more Mtv. But with the action that it have, it till make for a beautiful u turns. So pimp yourself, head to the theater, and decide driver it, or pull the break. Hey a least ain't the transporter 3.(really man ye should have went underground).
next stop the Ah christ! Dragonball evolution.
