Don't Mess With the Zohan Movie Review

I know that most people are not going to enjoy this movie but Adam Sandler actually did a good job. I have to admit that I didn't get a lot of the jokes but I knew enough to still appreciate the movie.

There are a lot of ethnic jokes that most people aren't going to get. For instance, dipping everything in hummus. I think you really need to appreciate the culture to like the comedy. I obviously don't but I still liked learning about some of the different things.

I will say that Adam did go a little to liberal in this movie. I don't like the fact that he put everything on corporate America and bible clenching rednecks. I don't think he wrote it though so I am going to give him a bit of a pass. If he starts spouting off at the mouth too much in the coming months then I am going to treat him like are good buddy Johnny over in France.

Well I strongly suggest that most of you skip this movie. I didn't find it funny for the most part and neither will most of you. If you want to find out a little about some unknown stereotypes go check this movie out; otherwise, check at Kung Fu Panda.

The Strangers Movie Review

The acting was kind of dead in the movie, but I still really liked the movie. Fortunately the storyline didn't require good acting. The producers did a really good job of making this movie scary. It wasn't even an overly complex plot. I will say don't try to think too much because there are definite flaws with the plot.

The things I liked about this movie is that it doesn't really attempt to be feel good. It is a raw story that is told in a raw manner. It wasn't based on shock value either. It didn't have scenes like the ones from The Hills Have Eyes or Hostel. It played off of psychological fears. As a matter of fact it freaked out my girlfriend. We go in a little fight because she expressed on irrational fear of moving out to a wooded area.

Alright that is pretty much my review of the movie. Go see this one if you are in the mood for something scary. Now a tip for the guys.

If your girlfriend start to express some crazy fear after seeing the movie don't try to appeal to her with logic. This is not what she is looking for; making me an idiot. Simply, let her know that you will protect her and go where ever she feels comfortable. Try to sympathize and relate. Females are naturally emotional we are not, and that mean that you will have to make the effort to be compassionate. Now if only I could turn back the clock.

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Movie Review

Well this review is certainly late, but here is the long due review. I thought this movie was much better than the first movie. This may actually give future sequels some validity. I really thought this franchise was going to die but it seems it may survive although not as successful as the Harry Potter series, which I am not a great fan.

The movie was exciting and it played off the first Chronicles of Narnia just perfectly. It also, built to a climax really well. There wasn't a single part of it that was particularly boring. The thing I hate to admit the most is that it give parents an opportunity to talk to their kids about topics like the holocaust. The WWII historical reference was obviously no mistake. I wish I would have read the books.

Well the culmination of entertainment and the fictional play on real life make this movie a must see. Coming out of this movie I didn't think the review was going to be this good. I think I made the mistake of too much thoughtful reflection with this movie review. BEWARE!!!

Indiana Jone and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull Moive Review

This was definitely an Indiana Jones movie. It did take unbelievable events to the next level. You'll find that out in the first fifteen minutes of the movie. The event I am talking about alomst ruins the whole movie, but I was able to get over the one part. The rest of the movie was really good.

This movie is filled with action and humor. I am proud of the directors/producers. They knew what an Indiana Jones movie was about and stuck to the format. There weren't any hidden political agendas or anything. Indiana Jones hates the communists in past movies and he still does. It was great.

I recommend going to see this movie. I know this post is late and I have been slacking of lately and I would like to apologize. Sorry.

Redbelt Movie Review


This movie was boring and slow. Randy didn't play a real big part and niether did any of the other guys that were in the UFC at one point. This movie is simple about corruption in fighting and those who stand for the purity of fighting.

I would say skip this one even if you are a big MMA fan. I was really looking forward to this film but the plot was a total downer. There should have been a lot more action as well. The fight scenes were quick cut and choppy. You really couldn't even get a feel for the real type of chess match taking place in the ring.

I would rather see a movie about what goes on with a real fighter training. A documentary would even be nice. I just hated this movie. I guess they are testing the waters with this crap. Throw it against the wall hope it sticks type of deal. I would almost say go see this movie just so producers see some revenue and take a crack at making something good. One of these deals we will see the Rocky of MMA. Until then suffer.

Speed Racer Movie Review

I thought this movie sucked and my girlfriend agreed with me, but the rest of the audience gave it applause. I will say the good thing is it was as corny and cheesy as the cartoon. I have to give the producers props for making it true to the cartoon. They did get a bit artsy, but they even did that in a real corny way.

As the rest of the audience cheered I won't ruin this one by letting you i on the plot. The things I didn't like was that it was way too colorful. It was so vibrant that I couldn't get into the movie at all. I don't really care for any of the actors either. They all were pretty bland.

If you weren't really into the cartoon skip this one all together. I also, don't suggest taking your kids to this movie. The kids seemed to think it was boring as well. It was like watching kids play with hot wheels. That pretty much sums it up for me.

Deception Movie Review

This movie is good, but it fails to capture the audience. With this type of thriller you should really be sitting there trying to guess what is going to happen next. The plot is so obvious you quickly just know, and don't care much. Maybe that is why the movie is good, I just really sat there and watched the show.

I will say it was definitely cool seeing a movie where the main character is an accountant, that isn't an absolute bore. I will say it depicted the life of an auditor pretty well, but the engagement are usually a bit longer. The whole thing about being in the conference room and everything was dead on. It is also typical for there to be a few more auditors crowded in that room.

Well most of the movie doesn't involve accounting, it involves a sex club and a scheme. I don't think I would ruin the movie if I divulged the whole plot but there could be a chance my lack of interest was due to a lazy day. Have fun at the theatre.
