Meet The Spartans Movie Review

This movie was really bad. I thought it would have been a lot funnier. This could be because as I am getting older I'm losing touch with pop culture. For those of you who are totally in the dark this is a comedic parody of the movie 300, and I can't say that the movie totally lacked humor. I just expected to laugh a lot more than I did.



My girlfriend laughed all the way through the movie but she loves this type of slap stick comedy. From the picture above you can tell they teased the movie You Got Served. I like this only because I wish dance movies would go away forever, the scene was actually drawn out and boring. Dance movie died with Footloose (Not a fan) and Dirty Dancing (Fan). I'm sorry but crotch grabbing, snickering at other dancers and taking a defensive posture doesn't spell rebel or danger in my mind. It pretty much spells G-A-Y. It translates into no money and having a skill nobody really cares about for ninety-nine percent of those who pursue a dancing career. Be like K-Fed, he's the must succesful dancer ever.

Back to Meet The Spartans. This movie simply failed to deliver. The concept followed to closely to the real movie with glaring inconsistencies. Like the masked guys in the original 300. They weren't pushed of the cliffs. It is also hard to tease a movie that movie fans really loved. The only thing that Meet The Spartans managed to do was point out two or three scenes that were absolutely ridiculous in 300.

My final advice is don't go see Meet The Spartans.
Spartan it only serves to ruin 300.

Start renting movies.

The Bucket List Movie Review

I was prepared to write this movie review before I ever saw the film. I was thinking something like two great actors join up to make one giant piece of crap. Do you know what I was wrong. The strange thing is that this movie was still exactly what I thought it would be.

It is about a few old guys from different walks of life that each have their own values and priorities. They are place in a common dilemna and unite to experience their last moments of life. That is the movie in a nut shell. What makes the Bucket List good is the few minor twists and turns, and that they stayed with the format.

Try not to ruin the movie by catching on to the twist but see if you can figure it out. I highly recommend this movie Jack Nicholas won't be around forever. He looked suprisingly unhealthy in this movie. These two may have gotten together and made a real bucket list. Shoot, they could be scaling a mountain as we speak.

First Sunday Movie Reviews

Well the bad news is the marketing for this was to play off of Friday. That being the case most moviegoers are not going to like this movie. Not every actor in this was funny. There were the serious characters and the funny ones.

The whole premise of the church being robbed and the related jokes were pretty funny. There were moments of seriousness and the story was a bit preachy. There are not a lot of good comedies out there so I suggest this movie. I've also seen the Bucket List and that was funny and had a better storyline. It's not slapstick though, and sometimes that is what you want in a movie. Even I admit I like to leave my thoughts at home a times.

That is what kind of crappy about First Sunday it was slap stick but it did bring up a lot of issues I don't want to think about at this type of flick. The lead actor was always like, "I am a black man trying to do the best for my son." Well the good news is that the lesson learned was pretty accurate. Well I'd hit up Bucket List over this one. Unless you just want to bake.

Walk Hard: The Story of Dewey Cox Movie

I really liked this movie I thought it was hillarious and so did four of the five people I went with. Everybody knows this is just a movie made to poke fun at the history of rock. They did exactly that and they did it successfully.

Another thing I love is one not all of the stuff in the previews is in the movie and it was mainly the first five minutes of the movie again. The previews don't ruin this one too much. Unlike, the previews for Charlie Wilson's War. Walk Hard is worth the price of admission check this one out for sure if you are in the mood for some comedy.

I thought it was a bit wierd that I missed AVP2 was coming out over Christmas and the same as the Sea Horse movie. Not really into either one of these. Good luck if you go see those. I am recommending Walk Hard, Charlie Brown's War,I am Legend, Enchanted, Awake, Juno (teens with parents) and then your pick. By the way just kidding Charlie Wilson's war. Now that I am thinking about it they should get the Peanut remanents back together and make Charlie Brown's War the would probably be a kick butt movie. And yes for the morons out there I know the creator of Peanuts has passed away.
