THE MARINE

The Marine 

This movie has all the ingredients for success, action, love-story, guns, and most importantly a hot leading woman and built leading man. Now, is it the best action movie I’ve seen… no. However, I have to give credit were its due, for first timers to the big screen, this movie isn’t half bad.

The premise is simple, a marine’s wife gets kidnapped and he goes a mission to save her. I’d save her too! ;-) However, if I was this guy, I’d just commit suicide and be done with it. First, he’s kicked out of the military. He’s fired from his first job. He get’s beat up, blown up, run down, and nearly drowned. I’d take that as sign that someone didn’t like me. I guess the marine motto is to never give up even if god hates you.

 

If you like the old time Arnold and Sly action movies, you’ll like this flick too.

What is funny is that the Marines must not teach a lot of stealth in armed services. Once you see the movie you’ll know what I’m talking about. Over all, it’s worth the watch.

Harsh Times

I can’t even begin to describe how horrible this movie was! 10 minutes into this movie I trying to find any excuse to get up and get out. If you go online and read the movie reviews you will see the critics loved this movie.

Christian Bale was in his best role ever!“, “Christian Bale can act and be just about anyone!

Is this enough to say a movie was good? As an actor, if you make a character in movie come to ‘life’ does that make the movie worth watching? Fuck no. Geeze… King Kong played his role well, however the movie was too lonnnnggg. No mater how much icing Bale puts on his character in the movie, it’s still a turd. It’s just now a turd with icing.

 

The premises of the movie… I’m not sure really what it was. It seems this ex-army ranger (Bale) makes one super fucking huge mistake after another. And he drags his friend along for the joy ride. Some of the reviews were stating “It’s about time that someone showed how life is in East L.A.”

So, what you’re telling me, that it’s common for a hottie (Eva Longiora) to spend all day at work earning a living while her husband is out bar hopping, going to Mexico, and selling stolen weapons all day? Hmm.. Sign me up!

I’ll try not to spoil the ending… Bale dies. Only issue with this, he should have been killed 20 minutes into the movie.

Rocky Balboa

What can I say, this movie blowed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a ‘bad’ movie, just not my type of movie. The fight is the only good part of any Rocky flick and that was only the last 10 minutes of the whole movie. The other 100 minutes of the movie was about Rocky trying to reconnect with his kid and trying to get past the death of his wife. Hell, it’s been years, EVERYONE has gotten past her death! come on Rocky, get over with it already. And as for parents trying to get back in their kids life, when they need money, they well come around.. they always do. Over all, if you’re on a date and want to see some emotionally 60 year old man cry, this is your type of movie.

This movie was flat out weird. However, I liked it. :-) In short the premise of the movie was that a $1 million dollar bounty was put out on a mob snitch. Seven professional hitmen travels to Lake Tahoe in an attempt to collect. Just out of curiosity, is there such a thing as ‘Un-Professional” hitmen? (just wondering). Anyway, the movie tries to give each group of hitmen (and the two hit-women) ample screen time. However, it’s done very crappy. Also, the ending is pretty shitty too. However, the amount of gun fire and blood shed in the last 30 minutes of the flick more than makes up for it.  There is one scene in the movie that involves a 10 year only karate kid wanna-be total classic. The movie is worth watching just for the five minutes he’s in it.
