SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD


A good friend of mine invented a new word that i believe describes this film perfectly "FUNGAZUM".. This movie is based on the best selling graphic novel SCOTT PILGRIMS PRECIOUS LIFE..it stars the most annoying, lamest, actor of our time..the one dimensional Michael Cera(SUPERBAD, YEAR ONE) and yes he plays the exact role in this movie as he does in ALL his movies but its what he does well...i wasn't impressed by his performance at all cuz it is the same ..its the film making aspect of it all that kicked my ass..its very 1970s style BATMAN special effects ..BAM!!! SMACK!! POW!!..This film also stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead(LIVE FREE DIE HARD,DEATH PROOF), Jason Schwartzman(RUSHMORE,SLACKERS), And Kieran Culkin as the gay roommate which in my eyes acted straighter than the lead straight role....the movie is about a dorky dude in a cool band that falls madly in love with the girl from his dreams but to win her love he must defeat her 7 EX'S.. which happen to be some very fun cameos...the movie is visually stunning and the writing is alot of fun...THIS IS A DATE NITE MOVIE though its Corney in everyway its lovable and will become a instant classic for this generation...

4 STARS OUTTA 5

MICHEAL CERA IS STILL A LITTLE BITCH ..BUT HE DOES IT SO WELL.. I STILL HAVE NO LOVE FOR HIM BUT THIS FILM DEFIANTLY LIT A LITTLE FLAME IN MY HEART FOR HIM...

BUT THE SOUNDTRACK ITS GOOD

EXPENDABLES

Oh man ...this is the film that is going to revive alot of careers and is for sure the kick off to a brand new franchise that will give a bunch of 80s has beens the work they need.I had a little fear of it within the first fifteen minutes due to a very unexplainable version of STALLONES face..But other than that this film is full of useless action from beginning to end. Fights scenes galore, shoot outs that kill everyone but the main stars, damsel in distress, bits of comedy, great one liners and alot of hope for the future of action film making..STALLONE leads a group of old hit men that take on a mission to save someone from something... I'm not really sure what the mission was and frankly i didn't care..just to see all these great actors under one screen just got my juices flowing..it didn't have to have a plot it just had to have exactly everything it has..MINDLESS ACTION...this movie isn't for the ladies nite out...unless the ladies night out is a band of really hard chicks that love guns and violence..it goes like this...STALLONE(ROCKY/RAMBO),JASON STATHAM(CRANK,TRANSPORTER), BRUCE WILLIS(DIE HARD), JET LI(WAR,THE ONE), DOLPH LUNGREN(ROCKY IV), MICKEY ROURKE(IRON MAN 2, WRESTLER), TERRY CREWS(EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS, FRIDAY AFTER NEXT), RANDY COUTURE(UFC), ERIC ROBERTS(JULIAS BROTHER), STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN(WWE, DAMAGE),ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER(TERMINATOR,TRUE LIES)...REALLY NEED I SAY MORE!!!???

There is already three scripts says STALLONE with plans on a sequel next summer using SCHWARZENEGGERS team and another where the two teams will either fight against each other or side by side...hoping for ARNOLDS team to consist of JEAN CLAUDE, CARL WEATHERS, JIM BELUSHI, CLINT EASTWOOD, ANGELINA JOLIE, RAMPAGE JACKSON, STEVEN SEAGAL?? anything will be fine with me..as long as they blow everything up...

DON'T EXPECT A PLOT OR GREAT ACTING JUST KNOW THE BAD GUY WILL PAY!!!

PIRANHA 3D

OH MAN!!! TALK ABOUT A FUNGAZUM...This is the film I've been waiting for all summer. This remake of a classic 70's Jaws rival kicks more ass than RED VINES AND MR.PIBB.
This is the film that every 15 year old+ will be talking about in school and work.
It stars Karate Kid's love interest Elisabeth Shue as the towns sheriff, Ving Rhames as the bad ass black guy with a hint of gay, one of horrors finest story tellers Eli Roth, and Jerry O'Connel in a role that knocks Ben Afflecks performance in Phantoms to dust...its an awesome, stressful, horror throw back..packed with everything you'd expect from a remake of classic crap. Theres enough T'N'A in this film to make Hugh Hefner blush, enough gore to make Freddy jealous and cameos that just rock...the first fifteen minutes sets the greatness of this movie straight out...so if your into having a great date nite with buttloads of fun this is the film..ladies your man will be huddling close as possible to u shaking in fear...

i had to MCFUNKYFRIED this one

5 outta 5 stars (no joke)

its great fun ..the 3-d is a whatever..and the gore is ridiculous...STOP WHAT YOUR DOING AND GO NOW!!

CATS AND DOGS 2 THE REVENGE OF KITTY GALORE


O.K. THIS WAS NO MARMADUKE....
This is new director Brad Peytons first attempt on a major film...
Once again its cats vs. dogs in a take over the world plot..Great voice over work done by James Marsden (XMEN, DEATH AT A FUNERAL) Nick Nolte (48 HOURS, HULK) Bette Midler (BEACHES, FIRST WIVES CLUB) Christina Applegate (MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS SQUEEKAL) and the films true savior Katt Williams...
the special effects are cute, the story is pretty basic Kitty Galore is a evil cat seeking revenge on all dogs and decides to build a satellite dish that will send a signal around the world to make all dogs turn on their owners and of coarse the dogs have to stop her before its to late..there are some great film homages throughout this film including a brilliant opening number very reminiscent of the classic JAMES BOND opening credits..its great for the kids ..boys and girls alike..its a fun afternoon adventure..couple surprise cameos in there also..

MCFUNKYFRIED IT 3 outta 5

IF YA MISSED THE LAST GREAT TALKING ANIMAL MOVIE...THEN CATCH UP WITH THIS ONE
ITS NOOOO MARMADUKE BUT IT'LL HAVE TO DO FOR YOU SINCE YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME THE FIRST TIME ABOUT ....MARMADUKE..ALSO THERE IS A FANTASTIC WYLE COYOTE CARTOON AT THE BEGINNING THAT IS WORTH THE MONEY ALONE...

DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS


I LIKED THIS MOVIE!!
This movie is one of those greats that grow on you the more u think about it.
It stars Paul Rudd (I LOVE YOU MAN, ROLE MODELS) and Steve Carell (40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN, DATE NIGHT) with great appearance from Zach Galifianakis (HANGOVER, G-FORCE).
The movie is about a group of prestige executives that have a secret dinner once a year to see which of them can bring the biggest idiot. Paul Rudd plays his usual role of awkward guy trying to move up the cooperate ladder and also struggling to find love..he ends up hooking up with Steve Carell whom happens to be one of the biggest idiots ever..he also does beautiful art using the dead carcases of rats found in alley ways... the direction for this film is brilliant, Jay Roach (BORAT, MEET THE FOCKERS) always has great comedic timing with his films and the actors all deliver perfectly..this film does have alot of drag time but when its rolling it rolls..many of the jokes are quick and don't sink in til moments later..its got a little for everyone ..it is sweet and lovable til the last minute...

If you don't find this movie funny then you didn't get it...go see it again..

MCFUNKYFRIED IT 4 OUTTA 5 STARS

ITS DUMB AND DUMBER MEETS ROXANNE...A BRILLIANT COMEDY OF ERRORS...
