Hey Jackie...

42 was an awesome movie to watch. The movie seemed like a throwback to classic films from the 50's. The story entails how Jackie Robinson beame the first black person to play in the MLB. Harrison Ford was great as Branch Rickey the baseball executive of the Brooklyn Dodgers who helped bring in Robinson. Everything about the movie had an authentic feel to it. From the baseball grassfield to the cars, clothes. Was it too melodramatic at time, eh who cares? It was a fun movie to watch. I hadn't seen a sports film in quite awhile, so it was good to see one that was well made.(hey did they call you man? Hahaha, couldn't resist.)

Trance...What the hell is that?

Art heist, hypnosis, very weird love story, some action. All that creates the movie Trance. I did not if I would like the movie, but it was cool and different man, it was different...heh, heh, heh. Anyway James McAvoy was excellent in the lead role, so was Vincent Cassel. The soundtrack was right on with the scenes as well. I always like watching movies that are not too mainstream, and have interesting plots. Sometimes you need to watch something different in a movie man. Heh, heh, heh. Right, right.

Hello Im professor Ashland...

Evil dead was an awesome, gory bloodfest. I was not sure if I would like it, but it had plenty of action, chills and whatnot. The cast was one of those twentysomethings you have never heard of, but they did a good job. To act in a film like this requires alot of hard work with dealing with all the bloody effects and such.(I should end more sentences like that with an and, and some word that doesn'y even fit)Even good old Bruce Campbell makes an appearance(I won't tell you when) I will say he should of came in and said "Hello my name is Ashland. I'm a professor of antiquities at Hofstra. Tell me that would not have ruled! It's a good to see a horror movie get the top spot in its first week of release too.

Olympus has fallen kuya

I like action movies when they are done right. It doesn't matter to me if its a one-man army like Rambo or a team like the Expendables. Olympus has Fallen, to me has gotten it right. It stars Gerard Butler a member of the Secret Service who goes to save the president who is being held hostage after the White House is taken over by terrorists. The action was cool, so were most of the effects. But too much of the gunfire looked like out of a video game. Angela Basset acted well as the head of the Secret Service. And so did Aasron Eckhart who played the president. The action was pretty intense and almost non-stop. The interaction between Butler and the presidents young son was funny, but at the same time real. Too many times the interaction between kid and adult actors seems forced. One thing that annoys me is that there was an extra scene at the end of the credits according to Wikipedia. It was a pretty significant one too! Oh well, guess I'll have to check it out when it comes out on dvd.
