If you wanna watch a very good movie about pupppets and some unadulterated raunchy humor, I recommend either 2 Ted movies or Team America World Police. Because I’m sick and tired of Melissa McCarthy’s schtick over the years after the very underrated Ghostbusters reboot. I could honestly say that The Happytime Murders could be a shoe-in for Worst Movie of 2018. At least Life Of The Party was decent but pretty forgettable.
I dare Hollywood not to remake one of the most important movies that still can be talked for a generation. The Godfather, the Citizen Kane of Gangster movies, and of course, the J.R. Ewing of American cinema.
Once I saw the "All Eyez On Me" movie, it was all filler but no substance. And that's why this movie bores me to death. The acting was great, though both Jamal Woolard and newcomer Demetrius Shipp, Jr. stole the show and deliver solid performances of two of the most decorated and storytelling iconic rappers ever, 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. I just didn't like the Jada Pinkett one in the movie because trust me, she didn't act like the star who I know and loved today. It's just the characters that is totally messed up big time (not Biggie and 2Pac). The story... What story? It's like every 2Pac fan knows that he influences on what can happen if people doesn't change for a better life when it comes to violence, gangbangers, etc. and showcasing that 2Pac is not your ordinary auteur of rap, but he is a definitive hero in all of us and after his career cut way too short during the controversial battle between East Coast and West Coast rappers started to turn heads and all led to one of the worst tragedies in the Hip-Hop landscape and still remains unsolved to this very day. And that's why I lost touch with a forgettable script only if you could master the art of rap biopics if used properly in the vein of "Straight Outta Compton" (one of the most talked-about biopics of all time) remembering the good times and the bad times N.W.A has been going through from humble beginnings, contract issues, The LA Riots of 92, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre went seperate ways and done solo careers altogether, until "Eazy-E" Wright succumb to AIDS and that's how you make a biopic that is very edgy, raw, and exquisite. As for "All Eyez On Me," this didn't quite fit the picture. I'm also pissed off at the end of the movie where they didn't mention about 2Pac's mom and widow, Afeni Shakur, who passed away last year due to cardiac arrest at 69. For a movie that somehow trying to reminisce the late rapper's rise to **** and his ability to make peace not war is very insulting. Releasing the movie to theaters just came after 2Pac's posthumous 46th Birthday and now a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2017 is that nobody doesn't want to pay a ticket to see this movie, always listen to his music and spread the message to everyone why they still listen to 2Pac every time his messages will inspire a generation. "All Eyez On Me" is the worst movie of 2017 (so far).
I don't know if this is the perfect time to bring a King Arthur movie come back to life because it should've been that exciting. The last time King Arthur came to theaters was in 2004 (Touchstone) and it was above average, but I was disappointed at Antoine Fuqoa's direction that led the film into a forgotten poorly executed movie despite a great cast with fairly solid performances including Clive Owen, Keira Knightley, and pre-Gift star Joel Edgerton. Boy, 2004 turn out to be a bad year for summer movies. but on the other hand, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is less Reign of Fire and more Eragon. Try as Guy Richie's might, but this is probably one of his weakest movies in his career. No disrespect to Richie, he's a talented directed. But having Warner Bros. to call him up for another summer blockbuster is not very good. Charlie Dunham is not a proven Hollywood star (Pacific Rim flopped, but an underrated gem) and despite the awesome Djimon Hounsou, Annabelle Wallis, and Aiden Gillen showing what they can to deliver a solid performance, Eric Bana, on the other hand, is just so boring. He's not a great actor, I still didn't like him as The Incredible Hulk. But still Warner Bros. just completely forgets that this is another s**tty origins story that tries to wow its audience, but ended up getting flat on their faces. Jack The Giant Slayer, Pan, The Legend Of Tarzan (last year), and this. Another retelling of the folklore known as "The Knights Of The Roundtable." Great, they just copied Disney's beloved animated film "The Sword In The Stone" and turned it into another pointless rip-off by Warner Bros. I'm also quite confused why Soccer legend David Beckham wanted to make a cameo in this movie. Man, this smells like box office bomb all over again. Really, if you really want a perfectly executed tale of King Arthur, then grab your couch, head on over to Netflix, and re-watch either "Excalibur (1981)" or I can't wait to watch this again "Monty Phython And The Holy Grail (1975)." In the meantime, King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword is just plain dumb. Like I said, the acting is confusing and the story is forgettable, but there's a nice touch to it. The visuals were beautiful and the CGI is pretty damn good. But if you wanted to succeed as an action blockbuster, make sure it doesn't ruin the benefactor of getting your audience hyped up to see this movie. But King Arthur: Legend of The Sword is one of my worst movies of 2017 (So Far). I'm sorry, but this is the biggest low point of Guy Richie's career.
I hate to break it to all the Smurfs fans out there, but to be honest I saw the movie and I was right. It's still a s**tty Smurfs movie. With no Neil Patrick Harris and Katy Perry involved, it doesn't even need a reboot and unfortunately, Smurfs: The Lost Village is just as boring as the other 2 films. But hey, at least we still got Alvin And The Chipmunks. As for The Smurfs, I believe this franchise is already dead & buried. Thanks, but no thanks Sony.
It was boring. Absolutely boring. Why did Hollywood wanted to choose Matt Damon with this cheese-fest? The thing is, I felt that The Great Wall should've been the next Last Samurai of greatness, but it's now turned it into Gods Of Egypt 2.0: How to whitewashed an actor's character. It made no sense at all. The characters are annoying, wasted CGI, the story is a jumbled turd, and way too many cringeworthy plot holes. Yeah, this should probably be the worst movie of 2017. Skip it.
I haven't seen it, but Wing Commander does have a reputation of being one of the worst video game movies Hollywood has crapped on. However, I have to lay low for a minute because I think it's a awfully but decently good bad movie. Wing Commander was everything full of awful in this so-called science fiction movie. The special effects are barely hard to watch, the pacing of the film just completely off the ground up, and although both Freddie Prinze Jr. And Matthew Lillard (both from Scooby-Doo) tried everything they can to make this movie more or less like a autopilot rerun of Battlestar Galactica. But still the acting is bad and the movie is completely forgotten, but as a fan of terrible b-movies of the 90's, maybe I'll give it a shot by renting this dumbload.
Oh John McTierren, what happened to your film career as a great director? Die Hard was the Contra of the 80's, Last Action Hero was a pretty good B-movie of the 90's, Medicine Man (I still have to watch that movie). I know it's hard why he was once considered the land of the greats of action movie nostalgia. But then he threw it all away in Rollerball. I know a lot about Rollerball's messy remake. The production has way sorts of problems like it was originally going to be Rated R for its graphic violence and a lot of sex in this movie. But unlike another movie that cause a stir (Howard The Duck), the MPAA decided to make the movie to a family audience and give it a s***ty PG-13 rating nobody likes. The director of the film hated the script nearing the movie's completion and cause MGM to be re-shooted and re-edit the final product of the movie which was supposed to be released in the Summer of 2001. But before the 9/11 attacks happened, the film's schedule had to be pushed to February 8, 2002. The movie finally came out and I guessed it right, it was a wasted load of crap. Admidst all of the behind-the-scenes scrutiny over its production, not one many moviegoer see this movie in an empty theater because it was extremely panned by everyone. I think Rollerball is the gold standard of "It's Batman & Robin on Ice" of awfully bad movies. Like I said, the script that the studio (allegedly) think it was good, but hell no the story is s**t, the writing is s**t, and why in the hell did Chris Klein and the entire cast (LL Cool J included) decided it was a great idea to star in this dumpster fire. Not even an appearance by Paul Heyman and WWE's residential Hardcore badass Shane Macmahon can't even save this film. It's like telling all the souless fans to get hyped and see the movie promote it on the TNN Network. The movie was so bad, that was pretty much it for John McTiernan's directing career. No wonder why he decided he threw in the towel by getting his ass arrested for failed unpaid taxes and fraud allegations. For those who have Netflix ( or not), then I suggest you shold check out the original 1975 cult classic instead. I just hope MGM just learned their lesson not to remake an iconic classic ever again. I take that back, they did (The Pink Panther, Robocop, Carrie, etc.) Goddamnit, MGM.
I found the movie very boring and there's a good reason why this NRA-propaganda political movie just nearly bombed for good. First, I love Jessica Chastain's performance as Miss Elizabeth Sloane, a cocky yet informative lobbyist who is looking to find a equality firm and sought out to pass a bill to protect the innocent from buying any guns and firearms until she joins an unlikely group of government backers starts to ruin her moment by accusing her of fraud and purgery. Second, this film wanted supporters to vote for Hillary Clinton as the very first female US President, until it was all taken away by (I'm not going there). Third, there were a few problems with this movie. It tries so much to be a no nonsense thriller, but I felt that Sloane is more or less than a cookie-cuttered version of "The Adjustment Bureau" (Wasn't even that bad, but decent political thriller). And I even spend time to shell over 90 minutes where Chastain likes to get all tomboy-ish, instead it was all "Run For Your Life" and hide your secrets thing. As for Dave Madden, the guy who gave "Shakespeare In Love" to Oscar gold in 1998, I think he did a great job directing this movie. Unlike the shallow writing and overblown setting, Miss Sloane is very generic and Jessica Chainstain showcasing why she did deserve an Oscar nod in "Zero Dark Thirty" (One of the most important movies of all time). I give her credit. But Miss Sloane is far from great. Unlike Snowden, Miss Sloane is one of my disappointing movies of 2016. But I sure hope Chastain's a big lucky wild card for the Oscar nominations next year. A Best Supporting Actress Award should be great for her.
I don'f know why Google gave me this lame duck of a movie for free on the Play Store. I haven't purchased it neither haven't heard of it. That's how I feel about Ghost Team and it's one of the absolute worst movies of 2016. I have a couple of reasons why this movie smelled so bad. 1. The movie is absolutely not that funny. It's like having a bowl of soup watching at least an hour showcasing this dumb heap. 2. It stars Napoleon Dynamite on it. Weird. 3. It tried so much to be as a comedy, but then it turned into a Ghostbusters meets The Watch style of dredd while watching this movie. I just finally removed the movie on my Galaxy phone, thank god. But for an actor quite talented than Jon Heder or Justin Long, they might've wished they got their money back and continue to pursue other ventures. As for Ghost Team, I have nothing to blame for these two after I staying away from this s**t of a movie that you called this a comedy. Skip It.
Girl On The Train is fine. Not good, fine. I just felt that the movie shouldn't be as calculating as Gone Girl, but in a movie that is way too short (at about a scant 112 minutes) and too much overblown plot holes and an awkward ending, the cast gave it all to take cues from the novel and turn into a cheesey audition of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. But despite a humble grace performance by Ms. Emily Blunt, maybe I'm sure this will give the paying moviegoers a darker more pulverizing experience. I don't think it's grabbing awards straws because it was a disappointing way to start your way in a difficult time. Rent It.
Seriosly Metacritic, you might wanna go to Rotten Tomatoes because House on Haunted Hill is indeed one of the best horror remakes of all time. Hell, it even almost this close by getting a 100% Tomatometer score. How come this only has a 25 rating? .
Geez, Hollywood loves to make franchises. I knew Blair Witch couldn't make a cent out of the original classic. When I saw the new trailer for an obscure title named "The Woods," I was totally freaked out and I thought this was the best horror movie ever, but I was let down by the news that it's going to be renamed as "Blair Witch." And I was like: "What? WTF! Really, Lionsgate?" I thought this franchise was dead and buried after that s**tty "Book Of Shadows" sequel that is so awful, I could barely watch it on the Sci-Fi Channel. And thank goodnees, they didn't even mentioned a third Blair Witch and it was dead on arrival. And now we're here, 16 years later. Let's face it, the new Blair Witch is a 'Meh' for me. It didn't even have enough scares to make this sort-of reboot very unneccessary. I saw the film last Thursday and I saw a little teenie-weenie amount of people see the movie. Like I saw, it was not good. The ending was alright, but I felt it didn't need to be trimmed apart and I do give credit to the director of the film who been able to give a long dormant franchise and giving it a shot at either make a delightful successor to the one that pedigreed the "Found Footage" genre or turned it into a reboot. Unfortunately, nah. I'm sticking with the 3 horror movies that is able to be a success of their own: "The Conjuring 2," Light's Out," and "Don't Breathe." Blair Witch is exactly a doomed franchise. No scares equals a sober reminder of how stupid a beloved original nolstalgia turned into a crummy remake can be.
I know it's not directed by Ridley Scott, but Morgan is a decent but sometimes entertaining thriller. I saw the trailer for the movie and it's kinda like an awesome mashup between Ex-Machina meets Aliens, but in a time where Ridley just completely lost his rhythm thanks to a slew of his disappointments (Exodus: Gods & Kings and Robin Hood), Morgan still has enough elements to an underrated gem (because it's directed by first-time director Luke Scott, son of Ridley and late brother, Tony). I love the casting in this movie: Kate Mara, Paul Giamatti, Michelle Yeoh, Jennifer Jason Leigh, etc. I thought the performances were great. And so does newcomer Anya Taylor-Joy, who delivered a stunning performance in the acclaimed indie horror classic, The Witch. But my biggest problem is Morgan (the character and her ability to control her inner Carrie with some weird supernatural powers). Luke thought it would be a great idea, it's just that the execution for her character development in Morgan just wasn't quite there. Morgan's backstory feels dumbfounded and the filmmakers just rushed the timing of the character too quickly so that if it does sounded like the next great horror movie I've been waiting for but executed in a different pasture. I was also disappointed at the marketing of this movie seeing that Fox (which is not having a great 2016 so far) wanted to invest what should've been a big opportunity to hope for a comeback after a slew of misfires this summer. But still it wasn't. Seriously, this is a perfect thriller I should definitely watch too. I'm sure hope it should be a future cult movie soon that could now join "Cube," "Gattaca," and "Event Horizon" as underdogs of underrated sci-fi movies none of us ever saw in theaters. Morgan deserved that honor, give it a rental first.
By calling it as the title itself, I should retitled this franchise and turn it into "Lametastic Four." Because that's how Fantastic Four truly is a broken piece of needle that tries to hatch an egg and then destroys its shell for itself. This movie is s**t. Everything that the movie studio hopefully promised to bring a dark and unheard of gritty Fantastic Four us comic book freaks wanted is s**t. I felt very bad for director Josh Trank because he's done a prètty nice job on not only introducing him to "Chronicle," but i think it was the right thing that he openly made a twitter rant saying "it was a piece of s**t." Well done, Josh. You're a great director no matter how those dimwits at Fox always likes to piss people off and saying "this movie should've been a lot better if it weren't for me or the ones that already interfered my vision. Way to burden the series. Fox." I kinda rented it on DVD and it was awful. Everything except the casting of the movie. Maybe Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara, and the underrated actor who played Billy Elliot, should have their own superbero movies in the future. The acting was underwhelming, the story is so bad even DC's Batman VS. Superman couldn't even decide who wins in a pie-eating contest, the CGI effects are chringeworhy to watch. And seeing that it is a Marvel reboot (allegedly), I think the better Marvel reboot simply awarded by 2008's The Incredible Hulk is just by saying: it's time for a change, guys. We have some fun moments and we screwed up for the fans. Looks like I'll hang my suit, make a decision, and hand the Fantastic Four's rights back over to Disney. " And as an avid longtime comic nèrd, it needs to make a change right now. So if you desperately want a Fantastic Four sequel, than I suggest you make a deal and see what Disney is adding to their deck of cards by dressing up as Spider-Man or still haunted by Rupert Murdoch's house of horrors. Just give it up, Fox.
Hear me out, I love me some Ice Age, but whenever you put another sequel, then something is wrong with your ego. That's what happens to Collision Course. The only better sequel the franchise had were The Meltdown and the underrated Dawn of the Dinosaurs. As a fan perpective, I just don't care about the Ice Age movies anymore. Same cast (even though it's not their fault), corny script, and most of all, the franchise just nearly passed their prime. If you don't give me a great story, then it's over. I'm not going to Fandango and spend $15.00 to watch this snoozefest unless you freshen up with a reboot. It's another example of bad movie sequels failed big time to match their predecesors (Zoolander 2, Alice Through The Looking Glass, TMNT 2, etc.) I guess I'd just save my money for Suicide Squard (or I'd like to call them "The DC Villain Expendables"). Can't wait.
Rebooting a stalled franchise for over two decades isn't really a thing anymore unless you come up with fresh ideas to make the movie that is more or less of a masterpiece. I'd had to watch Robocop (2014) again. In my opinion, it's still a good reboot but fairly not quite as bloodier and gorier than the 1987 badass iconic sci-fi juggernaut that makes me happy why the 80s is still the best decade ever. The new version of Robocop just kinda disappoints me. The violence had to be toned down to a somewhat family audience, if that's what the PG-13 rating had in mind. The acting is okay, but pretty stiff. Samuel L. Jackson was hillarious when he played the president. If any movie tentpole or straight-to-DVD movies that have Jackson in it, count me in (except the new Tarzan movie because it was a snooze). The only problem in this reboot was the shedding of Alex Murphy's backstory. I thought the origin story of him was just too cheesey, and to think that he's out to protect the law from a daily dose of menacing prototype machines, trust me Robocop is no Judge Dredd. So yeah, the story is rubbish and the CGI effects are laughable. If they need a sequel, they must find a way to make this movie even more special, like get its R-rating back and try not to overcompensate yourself by not screwing your longtime fans of the original. Still a good reboot, though. Maybe I'll pick it up for a rental.
Before I get a chance to see The Hunger Games, Battle Royale still holds to this day as a definitive landmark of Japanese cinema. It's so brutal, it's so violent, and sometimes very disturbing to watch showcasing a group of young Junior High School students (including a brave little girl at the beginning) fighting for their lives against hordes of malicious armed military sargents and parents please look away... because this film was inspired by many horror classics like Carrie and another Japanese horror classic, Ring. I gotta say... Director Kinji **** got some serious balls making Battle Royale. If you haven't seen it, maybe it's time for you to re-watch this movie all over again. You will not be disappointed. It's the perfect gore-fest movie to start your Independence Day more badass than it was in 2000.
To be fair, I still believe in Milla Jovovich and all of her Resident Evil movies. But Ultraviolet, if I could sum it up one thing as one of the worst movies in her career. The reason why I'm sticking with the Unrated DVD version is because Sony's company Screen Gems didn't do a damn job showing how this movie should've been good in the first place. Instead, they gave me a PG-13 rated version that absolutely makes no sense because this was originally supposed to be an R-rated effort to promote the movie in the style of my favorite cult classic action movies "Equilibrium" (FYI, it was supposed to be a spiritual successor to the film) and adding insult to injury, some of the fight scenes had to be taken out due to time constrainsts and the confusing story which is entirely featured Violet's parents killed by the resistance instead of Violet's demise just absolutely rubbish. The director of the film did a terrible job along with a use of underutilized CGI special effects that seemed to run its own course and Ultraviolet's backstory is outdated (if you read the novel, that's where she tells the story all by herself). Even worse, the theatrical version is exactly 88 minutes too short (if you compare to the unrated version which is almost 1 minute). Ultraviolet is less like a video game movie but with little or more than a clone of Tomb Raider. The Blu-Ray version is also horrendous but sadly it doesn't have any extras. Skip it! Matter of fact, don't even buy this crap in the Wal-Mart bargain bins. After all, one studio's flop is another movie's failure.
I'm definitely on Hugh Jackman's side because what Fox did to the Wolverine was making a blah origins story that doesn't need to be tinkered with. I guess The Last Stand was a better but decent advantage of the X-Men films altogether, but Origins: Wolverine is the weakest of them all. I felt that the film was just too rushed to begin filming this snooze and look what they did to Deadpool! Unlike the recent awesome Deadpool movie, Origins, however, was supposed to be a badass spandex-wearing anti-hero (with a mask) who has nothing to do with the entire X-Men crew, but then Deadpool started to go all grumbling and that's why things starting to get even worse. The plot was alright, but the CGI visual effects have run its course. I have nothing to say about Hugh Jackman's performance as Logan/Wolverine. I'm very excited that he nailed it through every segment of the movie. I hope he'll be fine in the now R-rated Wolverine 3 movie and finally sealed the deal on Wolvie's fate. **** to be this movie, but it doesn't need to be light, it just doesn't need to be polished, it needs a taste of excitement. Just a matter of time a time to rent this movie and skip it for good until X-Men Apocalypse.
I'm just getting a bit confused. Instead of calling it a sequel, then why is it a prequel? Can't Hollywood just name one Huntsman movie for pete's sake? I wanted Huntsman: Winter's War to be the best Snow White movie since the first. Oh wait, they lied because there's no Snow White in this sequel. Maybe it's because Kristen Stewart decided to chose indie movies instead of making another sequel to the decent Snow White And The Huntsman after an ongoing altercation between both Stewart and director of the first film, Rupert Sanders not only because of their off-set relationship causes Stewart and Sanders off the project. But it seems to me like you want to take a page out of Disney, right? Wrong. The Huntsman: Winter's War is arguably the worst sequel of 2016 (allegedly, Allegiant takes that dishonor). The cast looked pretty good (except for Hemsworth because he can bring down the hammer in both Thor and The Avengers movies, but as a solo movie actor... well, he's still working on it.) but the accents by both Jessica Chastain (Scottish) and Chris Hemsworth (Irish) are terrible. I don't wanna disrespect Charlize Theron by the way. Last year, Furiosa was the ultimate scene stealer that melted my heart in the rebooted Mad Max: Fury Road (she needs her own movie right now called Furiosa, the same name as her character) Emily Blunt is very awesome but my problem is, this movie doesn't have any potential with a decent all-star cast but no K-Stew involved which is sad because I thought she did an excellent job as Snow White. The story is sometimes lacking and dull makes me think of Jack and the Beanstalk with little less flair. Although I do get a bit praise or its use of CGI-special effects and a wonderful set of costume designs featured in the movie like Theron's set pieces as Elsa the Snow Queen (which taken the page from last year's season of Once Upon A Time). However, the 'prequel sequel' thing becomes stagnant because people didn't seemed to care if it's still going to be as a sequel or just make something different and change it to an origin story that come just years before Snow White. Besides it just already came out despite competing against Disney's "Jungle Book" remake, the results were underwhelming. Winter's War is poorly-executed, bad timing to release it now instead of the summer movie season, and after years of troubled production issues, it came a little too late and just like last year's big turd of a sci-fi bomb "Jupiter Ascending," it'll be a matter of time if this is another case of box office poison since movies that should've released during the summer pushed back to the Spring is a bad idea. In short, I'll just save my money and because I cannot wait for Captain America: Civil War to come out because I've already ordered tickets through the Fandango app. As for The Huntsman: Winter's War, better safe than sorry because this is the absolute worst movie of 2016. So if you prefer skipping this movie (I did), I rather rent Snow White and the Huntsman first.
This is actually why I'm so happy why The Mortal Instruments just couldn't keep on track against both Twilight and The Hunger Games and just like Divergent, it's one failed YA franchise potential after another. City of Bones (which I watched it on Freeform the other day) were kinda familiar because though the casting of Lily Collins and Lena Hedey are decent, but I haven't even read the entire books so yeah I don't even know what the movie is about. It wasn't exactly as bad, but I felt that the filmmakers tried so much pressure that they can't go on with a sequel now that's officially kicked to the curb and just made a TV show called Shadowhunters (which is also a 'Meh'). In short, there's nothing to say anything good about City of Bones. Confusing acting abilities with zero character development, a poorly-rendered script, blatant use of crappy CGI effects, and a scant stòry that doesn't need to tell in the first place. So congrats, Mortal Instruments. You're the Twilight's "Yin" into Eragon's "Yang." I might prefer a rental, but I give up.
Exactly as what other crap faith-based movies have ruined Hollywood. I really don't believe in Jesus and certainly as hell I don't believe in God. That's what God's Not Dead 2 really is: a sequel that does absolutely makes no sense on making another movie starring 90's nostalgic icons turned into some sort of another Atlas Shrugged movie starring Kirk Cameron and Jason Patric. And why is Melissa Joan Hart (aka Sabrina The Teenage Witch) decided to join a part in this movie. War Room is pretty good so skip this movie.
Even though it's still not better than its last installment, Olympus, but London Has Fallen should be my guiltiest pleasure right now. Who doesn't love blowing **** up when you have Gerald Butler around? Great movie, I just imagine what other places they might destroy next? I wish they travel to Japan and rename the third film as Tokyo Has Fallen. I wish this gonna happen when it arrives in 2018 (unless if the President stays alive).
What a pile of garbage another video game movie Hollywood has to offer. Hitman: Agent 47 wasn't quite nearly as good as the 2007 Hitman movie (which is actually pretty decent), for whatever reason Fox has tried to bank on a wasted franchise potential, but Agent 47 is just as terrible as the name of the movie itself. The story is useless, the acting is dull, none of the action scenes weren't that special, it's just a carbon clone of The Matrix and Splinter Cell. Screw this movie if you can because there's no stealthing in this movie. That's exactly Strike 2 for Fox's ill-advised reboots, Fant4stic and Hitman: Agent 47.
Sure, The English Patient is one of the best movies I've ever seen. However, the Oscars are just plain s**t. How come the Academy chose a 3-hour-long passionate love story and win a Best Picture Oscar? I skipped on the final ending of the Oscars in 1997 and I was so pissed. There's a reason why Joel and Ethan Cohen were not too pleased with the stunning news because Fargo should've won the goddamn Oscar in the first place. I believe it's one the most embarrassing Best Picture winners and some people agree with me that The English Patient is completely overrated. Shame on You, AMPAS!
I wasn't even turned on by watching "The Boy Next Door" because there's not enough scares for me to snack on. I would rather watch "The Cell" (easily one of J. Lo's signature thriller) than seeing sexpot Lopez and that guy from "Jem And The Holograms." I really love the sex scenes featured in this movie, but nothing new. I don't know why Fast & The Furious director Rob Cohan directed this turd. It seems as though Hollywood is trying to be obsessed describing as the next "Fatal Attraction." It turns out that formula didn't work either. And that's why Jennifer Lopez' performance is the absolute worst. Just avoid it.
Man of Steel, in my opinion, is a decent but not quite as better as the original Superman movie. I felt that Zack Synder tried to recapture the atmosphere and brilliance of Richard Donnor's 1978 version, but with little interest on why the DC Universe movies haven't been a gamechanger throughout the years (The Dark Knight Trilogy doesn't count). I was feeling a bit nervous why they chose Henry Cavill donning the red, yellow cape and spandex with the iconic "S" trademark because Superman just way past his prime. Even though Superman Returns was pretty good, but Man Of Steel is less but kinda bland Superman. The movie's ending went horribly wrong (I saw the whole thing, no spoilers), the whole CGI thing is pointless, Kevin Costner's performance as Clark Kent's own father ****, the action scenes were inspired unless you make the movie for 2 1/2 hours long. And that's the problem. I'm a little worried for what's to come during 2016's sorta "Man Of Steel" sequel, "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice." Will the movie be any good? Can Batfleck (Ben Affleck) be a better Batman than Christian Bale? Can the movie be as much darker as Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War"? Or can it become the highest-grossing movie of the year? I'm predicting that it's going to get near the 60's at Rotten Tomatoes (or below 50s), but 2016 is full of too much superhero movies. So I might have to wait on that, but as for Man Of Steel, good movie, flawed script, acting is pretty decent, but it's worth a shot.
There's no star power in The 5th Wave. I love Chloe Grace Moretz, but she should've know better. Although there were a few good action sequences, but it's just another YA adaptation filled with a boring premise and lacking story. Unlike The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones, I'd say it's strike #2 for Sony because if they make one more YA-based movie, then I'd rather watch an somewhat decent Divergent and Ender's Game.
What a pile of crap this movie is. As much as I love both De Niro and Effron, but Bad Grandpa is by far an atrocious and offensive party brouhaha of a movie. Skip it.
Good riddance this franchise is over with. I used to be a big fan of Paranormal Activity, but since #4 in 2012 I was less impressed and started to get my money back. I was trying to see The Ghost Dimension in my Edwards Theater and it wasn't even in the schedule. I don't know maybe it's the dimwits at Paramount started to choose this movie in theaters and added on salted wounds, video-on-demand (VOD). Why VOD? This didn't even came out yet on DVD/Blu-Ray until the next 5 or 6 weeks until their run is over at the theater. I don't wanna say anything new to this alleged "final" movie in the series that was once scared the hell out of me until the moment of truth arrived. Same characters, weak story, and a tired blend of paranormal ghosts led to this film being unwatchable. It's just that I was initially throwned down by the gauntlet and all I get was: another "Paranormal Activity" movie. I've had enough and decided to watch the "Saw" movies instead. Ghost Dimensions is a total wreck, indeed. I wished they should reboot the series at some point.
Yeah, Pan is such a huge disaster. For a brief moment, I had high hopes for this movie to be the best adapted Peter Pan movie ever. But then, they chose a great director at the wrong time. The casting is awful. Hugh Jackman as "Blackbeard" should've been the idea choice since Geoffrey Rush's performance in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Rooney Mara as "Tiger Lily" is just terrible. I was so offended and confused on why she chose this role as a "female Indian/Native American princess" in the first place. I didn't see this movie very often. An origin story that (ironically) wasted too many lines, CGI-action sequences just happens to be a poor man's "Avatar," and zero character development. It gets even worse. In the movie, Blackbeard sings to Nirvana's "Smell Like Teen Spirit" and turn it into a 45-second rendition of the Macarena. Really? Are we really f***ing stupid, Warners? Kids wanted to see a fairy tale adaptation of a beloved film that Disney is now on a role right now. I'd rather watch Peter Pan Live! once again. But stay away from Pan.
Mariah Carey was no ordinary dominating chart-topping female artists of the 90's and I have all her music in my album collection. The big problem is that she didn't learn her acting skills. That just happens with Glitter. It's not only that bad, but I hated this crap of a movie starring a rags-to-riches performer who wants to be a star. Big deal. The movie was atrocious, stupid, nothing special when this film came out. Even worse, it's from the director of 2Pac's final movie "Gridlock'd." Anyway, Glitter is totally the worst movie ever before Catwoman and FYI, the story is terrible. As many of us might say "All that glitters is not quite actually gold." Go ahead and buy it on the bargain bin, but stay away from Mariah 's acting and that horrid DVD cover (much like the poster itself). Showgirls, look out!
I should really put this under "Most Overlooked Movies of 2015" because it's tough for a film that didn't connect with the audiences attention causing it to be one of the worst opening movies to garner less than 2,000 or more theaters. So yeah, I didn't get it with the story and it's confusing trailer alone, but I think this is the perfect movie whether you're an EDM fan or not. "We Are Your Friends" may have lacked charisma for a reality MTV-less generation, but I think Zac Effron did a great job. But the reason why it flopped is because Effron hasn't made any friends just yet and he's still not a talented A-lister just yet. Maybe one day. But I should wait for it on Netflix and see how it goes.
Sinister 2 was a bit okay, but I don't see anything scary about this sequel that sometimes it gives great new ideas but otherwise the rest of the story is recycled somewhere. The cast is great, I still love Ethan Hawke. I felt that Sinister 2 is worn out and it should've been a decent movie. But I'd prefer Sinister 1 as my favorite time of horror movies I could watch right now. I think audiences (including myself) are going to be disappointed with this one. I hope there's not going to be another Sinister sequel, but it needs to take a break and probably just leave the original to where it stands. Wait for it on Netflix.
I played a lot of AVP video games (including the 2010 reboot), but turning it into a movie just would've been good if Sigourney Weaver and/or Arnold Schwarzenegger came back and kill each other. Unfortunately, what I got was a bad example of video game movies and that anybody could care less about the sort-of spinoff of two iconic sci-fi franchises pitting two villains in one stupid ass blockbuster. Freddy vs. Jason, anyone? Aliens vs. Predator is by far one of my absolute distaste of crappy video game movies.
Oliver Stone is the king of all controversial directors, but Alexander is by far the weakest in his career. I don't know if the re-cut of the film is any good, but boy how wrong is Hollywood. Updating an ancient historical figure just make me watch another 3 minutes of Hamlet. Everything in this piece of crap is horrible. Choosing a whiney bastard Colin Farrell, Marlon Brando, Hannibal Lector, and Angelina Jolie was a 'Meh,' the story is confusing, overblown action battle scenes, and Stone just lost his balance on why Alexander should've been a great movie to begin with. But I've have just seen enough of Colin Farrell and his offensive Greek accent. Some may think this is a big misunderstanding, but PLEASE do not watch this movie. Either on Netflix or Starz, Hell No. It's just too painful to watch as much as The Last Airbender. If it ain't broke, don't fix it even if Stone tried to be at his very best.
What a waste of celluloid is Soul Plane. A baffling, sometimes forgettable comedy starring a future A-list talent named Kevin Hart and a bunch of nobodys have to ride a plane. The SOULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL PLANE!!! I never know Kevin Hart is in this film, but exactly as I'm watching Tom Arnold in three minutes is so damn awful. Maybe the late Leslie Nelson should've run down the idea of some director trying to mock the living daylights out of an old school gem "Airplane!" To me, Soul Plane is one of the worst raunchy comedies since Not Another Teen Movie. Just stay away. Probably my mom should be arrested for bootlegging this mellon.
I'm still a huge Entourage fan, even though I haven't checked out the movie just yet. After the series ended 4 years ago, is Entourage the next great TV-themed movie since Sex And The City? Kinda. The casts looks great on fashion and I thought it was a risqué move letting audiences to pay their hard earn moolah to see Entourage. But if the show is pretty awesome, then why In the hell did these movie critics have no shame whatsoever? Bashing the Entourage movie? Are you freakin' kidding me? The cameos were pretty great, Mark Wahlberg was in it as well. Haley Joel Osment, everyone is amazing. If you haven't seen it, go see Entourage.
I would say that the original Street Fighter was way better than the unforgivable but unnecessary prequel because straight up, Chun-li should have her own video game movie in real life or my favorite, anime style (Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie). Who exactly in their right minds chose a fan-favorite hottie from Smallville and the late "Big Teddy" Oscar-nominee Michael Clarke Duncan in the first place? Chris Klein **** in this piece of trash. He should've taken the page out of the Dane Cook "I'm a serious comedian" playbook. But in my retrospect, Ming-Na Wen was the better Chun-li in the original Street Fighter. We laughed on this horrible offensive video game movie before, but I should just cut it some slack. It's still an awesome crap movie. But "The Legend of Chun-Li?" Meh.
I wonder if the folks at FIFA and its ill-conceived former president is passionate enough to put a failed kickstarter movie and run it to the ground. Ugh. United Passions just dropped a wet turd. It's the true laughingstock of documentaries that ESPN should be aware of.
I'm not so sure if I'm going to see Tomorrowland this week. The good news is that director Brad Bird did an impressive job on taking big chances giving George Clooney and Britta Robinson their best performances so far in this film. However, the lacking of the film feels light and after I read the reviews for Tomorrowland, maybe people should've stayed watching Maleficent and/or Cinderella instead and hopefully I could wait for Tomorrowland on DVD. But just like Jupiter Ascending, the hype is the only problem Disney might've gotten misunderstood. I don't know if it's like a children's movie or a sci-fi adventure movie, eventually, there were some minor flaws like the dystopian setting where one girl switches the ring from one town to another as seen in the trailer. The story is just recycled (although not much to say about the dialogue), and I know it's hard to count on a fantastic director behind animated gems like The Incredibles and the aforementioned underrated The Iron Giant. No doubt, he is a great director. But Tomorrowland just fallen short of how a great Disneyland-themed movie that inspired for over 60 fantastic years including Pirates of the Caribbean and Alice in Wonderland. Quite possibly be an underrated moment for Disney, so I should probably have to wait for it o DVD and Blu-Ray.
I've wasted a few bucks to see Ouija or whatever the hell this thing really is. What's next Jem and the Holograms? Something tells me in my stomach that this movie has Michael Bay all over it. And it was (not as a director). I watched the movie and I fell asleep because the movie isn't that even scary at all. The casts was just playing a board game and then some strange monsters coming to haunt them. This is stupid. The dialogue, the acting, it's terrible. Does anyone remembers Witchboard from the 80's? I haven't seen that s**t in years. People should buy this movie out, awesome horror movie. As for Ouija? A poor excuse of yet another half-assed Hasbro movie based on the board game we truly remember.
Let's see here: Hot Pursuit. Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara. Odd chemistry, bland story, Sofia's horribly offensive Spanish accent (she's Columbian). A tired clone of Thelma and Louise and The Heat. Awkward script, and not enough chuckles. But absolutely painful to watch. I still love Witherspoon, but not Hot Pursuit, one of the worst comedies since her big flub from 2010. I'm out.
Ahh, The Coen Brothers, Joel and Ethan. The two dudes who masterfully made American cinema more peacefully nostalgic. The Big Lebowski and Barton Fink, and Miller's Crossing and Fargo. The **** so much. I know it's a terrible idea to remake a movie, but somehow I liked the movie. Although the story felt a little fishy, but the cast look great. I thought either Tom Hanks or Marlon Wayans were pretty funny, but Tom Hanks needs a better hard R-rated comedy rather than Joe Versus The Volcano. Not quite as bad as critics think, but still the Coens just made a mistake on choosing this forgotten but somewhat above average film that didn't qualify as a Coen Brothers king of arthouse masterpieces. Worth a rental or watch it on Netflix.
I'd say it before and I'll say it again. Critics love to hate sequels, but people (including myself) don't give a rat's ass what they think. I know every critic love to hate movies produced or starred by Adam Sandler, big deal. Audiences and kids will certainly love Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 even if you just can't get a laugh bag. If you want to see why try up Cinemascore or something else. I know the jokes were the same as the first, but Kevin James is still my favorite actors that Adam Sandler just created. Stop with the bulls**t and go see this movie.
When I first heard about this movie about Catwoman, would it be cool if Halle Berry made a perfect fit to star in a lead role as the fan-favorite female equivalent to Batman? The answer ****. To be fair, Halle won an Oscar in Monster's Ball, but how come Hollywood never listens to frustrating audiences wondering why she chose this. No disrespect, I love Halle. Her performance as Storm in the first 2 X-Men films were over-the-line fantastic. But her role in Marvel's arch-rival DC's Catwoman is the only film I watched and so far and when I get to the last few minutes, I traded this movie back at an old Blockbuster Store. Absolutely horrible. Hollywood just got the wrong cast. Michelle Pfeiffer (I howled at her catsuit and her nipples in OG Batman Returns) should've come back and reprise her role. That's sad. And why is 57-year-old MILF Sharon Stone in this movie? That also ended her career and Basic Instinct 2. And what's with those CGI stuff? Did Halle just made it herself? Oh yeah, they made crappy CGI Catwoman a snooze in that awful tie-in video game. I wish that somewhere there's gotta be a porn parody of this mess, Hustler or Vivid anyone? I just wasted a few bucks to see Catwoman in New York. If I were you, STAY AWAY. Don't buy it, don't rent it, don't watch it on HBO or those other channels that I used to have. I have to say it, but it's worse than Green Lantern. Kinda. But be warned. Awful acting, awful dialogue, awful CGI effects, and awful soundtrack as well. I need my money back, Warners. I think you've just pissed off Bob Kane off his death bed.
Who in the world want to make a sequel to Hot Tub Time Machine? I love the first movie, but where's John Cusack in Part 2? This is one of the worst sequel of the year and that's a good thing. Thank goodness I skipped to this waste and see Kingsman instead. I love the entire cast (even though Lisa Loeb made a cameo), but the rest of the movie is just awfully bad. The script is lame, same humor jokes but little less fun, and I don't know what's worst, this or last year's Sex Tape. I guess HTTM2 is just not as bad as I think, but it's the sequel nobody wanted or asked for.
