so where's the suspense of it?

Every now n then there comes a film, that doesn't show the horror or the gore, but just the scare, and the use of low budget. Comes the strangers, with today used of the camera, is all film in shaky cam, which many filmmaker describe"a way to show the realism". Well they accomplish it. here the review:

Young couple come home from a wedding reception,staying in a cabin in the outskirt of the city, James Hoyt(Scott Speedman) was crush from been rejected by Kristen Mckay(Liv Tyler) by showing the ring. Not speeking, silence stood, to forget everything. They drink some champagne, eat some ice scream, take a shower, and light the chimney, when suddenly someone star knocking their door, to see who it was, a woman star asking for a name. which tell her "sorry", leaving she go to the shadow. When James go out , Kristen star receiving more knocking, from all apart of the house, when it revealed she was been stalk, by 3 mask people. Driving her to the point of paranoia, when James comes home, thing get more deadlier:

1st stealing their cellulars.

2nd destroy any transportation they got.

3rd kill anyone that come to help them.

4rd take any weapon they got in their arsenal.

5ht Star playing with them.

This is one night they will never forget, if they make it out alive.

Ok, the thing that i like of the film, was the way they shot it, using the shaky cam. How it base on real life event, give that tone of what is gonna happen to this couple, i mean if something real and scary is gonna been shot camera, there be a lot of movement. And the way the killers come out from the shadows, is something that already been used by the 90's slasher films. But in this one, they play it right, giving the scare for happening every moment. Is a surprise how this killers gave me some chill for just appearing.

Now the bad, most of the movie that the killer, just scaring the audiences than the couples. I mean i felt it more like a suspense but not a horror, this same style they shot I know what you did last summer. then less not forget when in one scene, Scott speedmane go to the barn to call for help.Knowing that wheres one of killer come out, i mean to they know there's a radio there or they getting ready to smash it when one of them use it. I mean there's no logic to it. But the big surprise come when they don't tel who are the killers or what they look like. Especially when on the why they 're stalking them?

So the movie got some suspense n scare, by a low budget. It wasn't bad, but little disappointing by not telling who were the killers. My theory just a couple hillbillers, looking for some fun i guest.

The movie was date to be release last October. But they change it cause of the saw phenomenon. So it was left in hiatus until they announce it for May, from seen it i think they should have left it for a dvd release. period.

At 65 he can till whip it.

First of all, i wanna star out with a apology, from my last blog that came wrong, from manny misspelling to not correcting the words, and the paragraphs. Now lets begin, is been 19 years since the last adventure, but there were rumors for a 4th installment, but there were problems, with the makers n the studios. Last year, Shia labeouf announce the new tittle in the mtv's music videos awards.
Calling it the Kingdom of the crystal skull, Spielberg said that fan's "were gonna be disappoint", is he right? here my slash of a review:

the year is 1957, america was fearing from communism, but when convoy of soldier, head to a secret military base, taken with them the one and only Dr. Jones(Harrison Ford) and he's companion Mac Mchale(Ray Winstone), to find a very magnetic crate, that hold something from out there. Miraculous escaping thank to jet turbine, he find shelter in a near town, not knowing it was a nuclear test. Surviving it, he is question, for what happen in the base. Back home it doesn't get better, when he is fire from teaching cause they charge him for helping the red's. But when he receive a message from a biker greaser name Mutt(Shia Lebouf) asking him for help to save his mother and a profesor Oxl(play by legendary British actor John Hurt) That Indy know him, He try to unravel a riddle that take them to South America Peru. Where they search take them to find the crystal skull. Just to fall right into russian hands. Held by the sword swinger Dr.Irana Spalko(Cate Blanchett), and reuniting with a very lost love Marion Ravenwood(Karen Allen), to escape and start a new adventure that take them, to confront, new danger, falling 3 times to a waterfall, to man eating ants, to find the lost city that is call El Dorado.

The acting of Harrison ford was the best thing from the film, from hes fear of snake(that still get some laught) to hes daring stunt, o yeah hes back to the Famous archaeologist, Cate Blanchett playing as a villain that a first for me, cause she really know her russian character, reminded me of another call Diana from the V tv series(if anyone know it). I think The best moment of Karen Allen comes when she argue with Harrison, and of course the secret that tell him too. I was very confuse with the Ray Winstone part cause really who is he, a russian or cia? Labeouf started good, playing the rough and stuff biker, that rescue, but he lost me in some scene, but the relationship he start having with Indy, really give the style of sarcasm that the films have.

Npow the story follow the same formula to the others, from beginnings finding him in danger, to been hire for a job or trying to find someone, later some adventures, than fight it off against a big brute, more adventure n danger, and ending it with a very big bang. I enjoy his escape from the military warehouse, with the way he used the whip, o yeah you can tell that important for the film, to the biker chase that ain't neither close when comparing it to the bike chase of 3rd bourne movie. I kind enjoy the duel of the jeeps between Shia and Cate. But some them were over top ridiculous, i mean swinging shia, what is he, but wait then he receive help from the monkeys, he ain't Tarzan but more of George. Than who here survive 3 waterfalls, really who.
Some of the jungle is mostly made of Cg. Really you can tell it.

Like the mixing of the legend of el dorado to the mystery of the famous area 51, but with psycho turn that you can't compare to the previous ones, yeah people it involve little green men. honestly i kind like it , is a new way to telling it for new generation. Manny old fan won't take the like kind. Is sometime it get strange. But the true gold is in the classic gag that films are very know at. So the magic is till there. With great lines, to the entertainment that you wont leave your sit for nothing.

I said it, "it wasn't gonna be good to the 3rd, but will be entertained". that's all about it.
But be honest is good to see Harrison into the role that he most recognize at. So is the 5th one gonna be made and will star shia Lebouf as the title character? Well i won't answer that.
but lets hope it happen in another 19 years. Period.

Best film so far, with a little spanish flavor in it.

Kid fantasy, is what making wave this days:
Eragon, the searcher, but non of them couldn't reach the hype to the Harry Potter film. But when a particular film from 2005 premier in December, that involve a lion, witch, and the wardrobe.
Well ye don't get a fable, but a epic. Now a not so sequel, but a follow up, comes, and this time the kids ain't the stars but a young Spanish(of course he's British theater actor)prince.
Here's my sound of the horn of a review:

A century have passed, and Narnia land have been torch by the arrival of the Telmarine, that have exiling all mystical beast of the land(that count, centaurin, dwarfs, goat people, minotaur, ogres, etc,). But when the son of King Miraz is born, he order the dead of he's nephew who's the rightful heir to the throne, prince Caspian(Ben Barnes) Help by he's professor, he escape to the woods, where he blow the horn. While back to the real world Susan(Ana Popplewell), Edmund(Skandar Keynes), and little Lucy(Georgie Henley), make their way, to the subway. But when a fight broke, involving Peter(William Moseley), cause he wasn't to be taken seriously. But when their world change, they re transported back to Narnia, only to find ruins. So they make their way to find Aslan.
Meanwhile Prince Caspian is taken refuge with a dwarf n badger, where take him to meet up with the others narnian, where they put him in trial, for what he people have done, and taken.
So the Prince promise them, their land back, if they help him take back he's crown, and help of the Pevensie siblings, is time to act, and return the Telmarine prince to the rightful throne. but when problems ab rum, when a clash of disagreement comes between Peter n the Prince, their chances to win, seem hopeless.
Will they work together?

First of the Prince himself make a very dashing star, that can make a senior women droll over. This time the kids don't act that much, but in the case of William, struggling to be a man was a great star, especially that argument he have with the prince. and this time we get to see Ana with the bow in action finally. And they say the spanners can act evil tell that to Sergio Castellitto, playing King Miraz, with just having that beard he very well be the captain hook of the story. But the one that i describe it as the scratch(of ice age) go to a swashbuckling mice call Reepicheep, that almost take the movie, but is a fun character to follow. And of course Liam Nesson is back to reprise he's role as aslan.

Coming from the director of the 1st shreck movie, he do justice , when it come to the visual, i mean there places that can be compare to another epic movie 3rd harry potter film, with great landscape, great wide shot to the Telmarine castle. But enough of that, lets talk about the fx, this time they gave all to bring the mystical beast great touch est to the real hair of the minotaur, to the human body of the centaurs, but beside there the animals are all cg. But of course the true delight of the fx's go to water creature, that can't be compare to the water horses of the 1st LOTR.

But the difference to the 1st is, this time their dead, from the creatures to the beast, they didnt stop to make it more real, especially the fight between Peter and Miraz. Far non, this ain't a Pg film. Now there something that i got to point out the battle armours of the Telmarine have so much influences to the Spanish conquistador, specialty, is they look straight out of a Don Quixote look. What i real like of the film, is they tone of the enemy, who they were, cause most of this actor that play them are all Spanish, and some Mexican too. So this is a very unique thing coming from a fantasy film. Hey i m Mexican i know my history.

the problem that i had with the 1st , there were great storytelling, but little lets acting, this time they done right, so there is a perfect film.

So, if weren't satisfy with last weekend race, if you know what movie i m talking about. then let Disney fill you up with a finally great epic n fantasy movie. And give yourself, a little bit discovering to another culture, especially when is European. Go and explore the world of Narnia.

next stop lets meet a man that travel the world with a whip.

stylish, colorful, but forget that, is always the car.

Base on the first anime series that made it to our tv in the late 60's. Follow now the trend of cartoon to movie. Always the story was in speed, and only that , but with adventure, intrigue, action crushes harder than taken a drink with Lisa lohan . To this film got the acceleration needed to make it a great or family film? turn the light, smoke the engine, and drive on my review:

Speed racer(Emily Hirsh) is a young race driver, coming from a family with history on cars, from Pop(John Goodman), Mom(Susan Saradon), Spritle(Paulie Litt) and their pet ape Chim chim, with their mechanic Spark(Nick Gurry). He follow in his bigger brother Rex, he try to be thebest on what he love most. But when he reject a multi billion corporation by the name of Royalton(Roger Allan). Threatening him and he's family, by losing every race he's in. But find help by the mysterious mask man racer x(Matthew Fox) and inspector Detector( Benno Fürmann) that work for the C.I.B. To bring justice and prove that royalton involment have been fixing every race. For a miserable profit on their action. With the family and trixie(Christina Ricci) behind him. Speed discover the true meaning of what it is to drive. Welcome to the world of stunt racing. And a story of a racer that change that.

Ok some of the acting so much of the badguys is second rated. I mean this is a film that should have gone to DVD. but i got say is not all bad, cause of the cartoonish they really give some fun tothe film. The best go to Paulie Litt and his chimp, that take most of the movie, from their love of candy, to their hi jink when it come hiding in the drunk of the Mach 5. Especially the the dragon ball scene. Great work, Christina was sweet and very observing when it come using the helicopter, but far goes to the comedy expression and mean looks of John Goodman, and the confidense of Susan Sarandon make the movie more enjoyable, Emily Hirch was good for main protagonist, that already he have done on other films. But lets get serious Matthew fox fell like the terminator for this, i mean sure some smile, and drama there, but didn't feel right.

Now the downside of this film was on the dialog that seem so long that remind me of the same when i went to see the Star Wars : Attack of the Clones. with more talking n less action. They should have a least have cut ten some scene, cause really that's why soap opera exist, to exhaust us of boredom.

Bu t lets get to scream of the movie the visual, their no denial the hit it good, under the supervision of Oscar winner John Gaeta, the film change a new style of racing, with the turning of the drift driven, to tracks that look like skate ramps, to some 360's too. By far this is carskating, with so much psichodelic from part of the color n lights, some wonder this is racing or another Britney night out clubs. Their some confusing when it come to the crushing cause you don't no if is mountain on fire or is just a car. And the demolition man foaming safety belts are new touch.

The environment is not all cg, when it come to the interior of the houses n hotels, but fell right for base on a cartoon movie. But there one scene that make ya wonder if ya seen the 2001 space odyssey.

So the movie is gonna bump iron man for the weekend, take no. but hey i could be wrong. The movie is a visual delight, with so much effect that you don't know if ye have a game controller in your hand, but they really have tone down on the dramatic part. and hey the brotyers already gave us a peek to their next project that i heard is gonna have ninja.

Next stop prince caspian.

i think i should be polishing iron man metal

The robot films are starting to ignited from the first fembot in Metropolis, to the 80's classics Terminator to Robocop, and last year Transformers.
O f course iron man ain't one, than i don't care while it wear and armor and make thing go boom. Than that's hardcore robot:

Tony Stark(Robert Downey Jr) is a innovator, inventor, have achieve so much over he life( also egotistical, gambler, and playboy) running he father
company with Obadiah Stane(Jeff Bridges). building and showing their latest weapons to the world. But a trip to Afghanistan change that, when the convoy is attack by a group of terrorist name the 10 rings, capture, he is force to build missiles. Seen how this militia got of hold of he's weapons. he decide to build and armor, aid of Yinsen(Shoun Toub), they build something, that can only be describe as walking fortrees. When the day come to make the escape, Yinsen sacrifice, from where Tony discover the value of a life, rescue by the army, he decide to shut down all weapon productions, that upset some people, including Obadiah. Obsesive for what he build, he try to make a new one, but giving it and upgrade. Someone found the plans that Stark build. While back he test everything from the stabilizer to the thrust of he new armor. But later discovering that the company weapons are been used by same people that capture him. Is time to turn the armor for what is build to do. Destroy everything, don't ask question.

Robert Downey give a very charismatic, and very fun dialog, that really define him better for this kind of picture. Jeff Bridges performance wasn't that evil. Now here's some comic fact for ya, Gwyneth Paltrow Character Pepper Pots is more sensual, but here she play it very damsel in distress kind.

Now the visual are the best of the picture, from the flying, to the first battle scene, where show ya, never shoot to a full metal helmet, that define a one man army, there some funny moment come when is testing time, that actually there not that cliche, this could very be, a very very very action film(just with some tech in it). But that couldn't be made more fun with out the direction of Jon Favreau.

By far this is good superhero movie that anyone could enjoy, but it saddens me that i didn't put it on my most watch for this summer, to i regret it well yeah. Jon Favreau hasn't fail on any of he movies by giving it that sarcast comedy that have, with Iron Man is he move to the action genre that got it right, this very well be true version that was missing for spider-man3. And nice touch putting "the man" as a player. You go Stan. best performance.

It will shoot, fly, and blast ya. This film is the first of the marvel studio, and something tell they ain't stopping there. there's more to come. But until the Hulk starts destroying theaters, we be full for this one.

Also stay tune on May 21 where i Honor him for the best comeback of the 21 century.

Anybody got light for this bong of a movie?

In late 70 to the 80's there was cheech n chong, that introduce great comedy when ye ad weed to the picture, than in the 90's kevin smith gave us the foul mouth smoking dealer of Jay and the wise n silent bob. In 2004 following the footstep of this great master of making mary jane(not to confuse with Kristen Dunt) Is Harold n Kumar, for what adventure took them to find the white casttle, n shove every burger they wanted. But what happen the day after? did they went to Amsterdam? here s my review then:

After eating all the burgers the Boys settle down for a few hour,before their plane await, so Harold(John Cho) n Kumar(Kal Penn) pack up of to Amsterdam, that where we meet Kurma's ex girlfriend Vanessa(Danneel Harris), which is getting married, to a suck up to the president after they get busted for lighting a bong, which the passenger confuse it for a bomb n mistake them as terrorist. Now is up to the extremist fundamental, like to spill grape soda, n pennys con servative Agent Fox(Rob Corddry) , that send them to Guantanamo, that less than hour escape, hitch a ride with some local cuban to Miami with the Aid of Rasa(Amid Talaj)where the duo learn a new style of partying with bottomless. So a new adventure start, taking them to deep of the south where they meeting to some good samaritan gangsters, some local modern southies with a mutant of a son, to a rally with the kkk, that mistake them as Mexican, to hitching with Neal Patrick Harris(who like them mushroom), expressing their feeling in a local whore house, and dropping in to the main man himself G.W. so the boys can clear their names, n stop a wedding. All that before they get stop by Agent Fox n he's man. Oh also the weed bag come back in a threeway.

By far this is the fun ye can have beside smoking it. The duo bring some of the strong n fun, tthat ye can have in the film. The one that take the dialog is Kal Penn as always with some of a self explanatory dialog. But ye think Neal performance was great in the 1st, well ye get to see him more on this one with a unicorn that travel with(God bless he didn't went all second life with it). But far the best is the main villain of the agent who never wipe hes bottom of Bill Corddry.
This is by far the most provoking n funniest act, he remind me of the bastard son of dick chenny.

The story till follow the o brother where at dou? formula, but with new twist, to the scary scene of the cyclop, to the Neal sealing pornstar Echo valley bottom(Hey i know somethings), to the KKK scene, which i opose, i mean Mexican, we dont have that very close eyes, and we re not that brownish, we got a more of a light caramel color, of course the sad part of it is some seen were cut out, like where they 're thrown from a bus, to Bill corddry ambush it(which were nice)
But by far the funniest moment, is the father calling of G.W. to he's dad, that really give a positive look, if ye count the weed that he smoke's

The is better than the 1st, with more political, n offensive jokes. But will stay as the funniest pot movie of this year, cause in august Seth Rogen n James Franco come smoking more in Pineapple Express, n my sight are telling that got more laughs than a cannival festival.

So if ya not doing anything, like smoking with friend, go and see this movie. And see why yer seen to much Doggie howser episodes.
