Beavis and Butt-Head Do America
1) The plot is sick. The 2 dudes love their TV so goddamn much that they go on a quest throughout the country to find a new one. I fucking love TV and it's tight to see 2 soldiers joining me in the cause.
2) They also have the most immature humor in the world too and thats always super tight lol. #unit #wood #toolshed
3) The guy that does the voice for the agent is the old host of The Best of Unsolved Mysteries. That show is so tight, especially all of the ALIEN/UFO episodes.
4) For those of you out of the loop, B&B are coming back sometime in the fall. I guess it was originally scheduled for July but I hear rumors it's been scaled back further.
What a great movie,

An American Werewolf in London
1)It was pretty good despite all the comedy attempts. Although I'm a big fan of the rom-com horror movies I have never been really wild about the comedy horror movies. All of the later Chucky movies were kind of n00b like that and I'm not terribly wild about the comedy parts of this one.
2) I did however enjoy the quasi love story going on between the wolfguy main character and the nurse. I don't know if the best way to TKO that at the end was to have him get shot but I guess I don't know how else they'd end it.
3) Kinda spooky that the dude's friend comes back to visit him after he gets mauled. Don't get it twisted, I miss DB being gone in BF Michigan and all, but man if he goes first I don't want him coming back to scare the shit out of me. Although it'd be kinda tight to kick it if we were both ghosts.
4) The dude's lady friend is Andy's mom from Child's Play 2 lol.
Solid stuff

My Bloody Valentine 3D
1) After watching part of this movie 4234 times and finally making it through it I'm convinced it's pretty legit. It touches all the bases of a sick horror movie and has some pretty good scary parts.
2) I really need to watch these movies in 3D. Kind of like when me and @enronnie watched The Final Destination [Blu-ray 3D], the movies look kinda stupid when they're made for 3D but turn into 2D format. Although there were some jumpy parts, there was some equally jitsu parts where you could tell what was about to happen given the screen formatting lol.
3) Maybe it's just because I just recently reviewed The Uninvited, but the whole "oh my god, I'm the actual killer" part at the end seemed kind of ho hum. I thought the end-end part where the killer put on the worker's clothes Michael Myers style was good though.
4) There were some goofy characters. That cop with the old guy at the end looked like she was 12, it must have been take your daughter to work day lol. And what were those dudes doing going down in the shaft at the end again? Did they miss the whole point of the movie?
Oh, and the killer's name is harry WARDEN lol.

Dallas
What's good blog world. As some of you might know already, I really don't like traveling, I really don't like big cities, and I really don't like Dallas.
Nonetheless, Me @lkcolt and @jordenwise are making moves down south this weekend to go to leg 2 of the Strikeforce Grandprix at that jitsu Cowboys stadium. Stay tuned for live updates starting @5:30 am as we take off. As much as I'm complaining about this, it should be a pretty tight weekend.

Red Riding Hood
Uhhhhhhhhhh
1) I've never been wild about the whole werewolf genre, but I didn't think this could go wrong with Amanda Seyfried in it. Boy howdy was I wrong.
2) It seemed like an odd mix of a bad made-for-tv mystery movie and some jitsu soap opera. You know how you watch a soap opera and everybody's sleeping with everyone, and then everyone's out to kill everyone? It was like that but with a wolf. First they found out that her future husband was actually her sister's half-brother (you can't make this stuff up), then her grandma's the wolf, then it's the mother, yadayadaya.
3) I know there's the whole folktale stuff about this, but really why would anyone wear the red hood? It's like a giant spotlight is on the chick the whole time alerting the woof every time she makes moves across the town. I'm no literary buff, but this seems kinda jitsu.
4) I'm also unsure how this was scary at all. Every time the wolf pops out he's talking through this stupid mask. Also why don't they just stay inside? I know the houses aren't tornado proof or anything but I'll bet they can keep the wolf out.

No Strings Attached
1) The music was tight at the beginning. Big shout out to SHAKE YA TAILFEATHER. Any reference to Bad Boys II (Widescreen Edition) automatically bumps a movie's rating up a few notches.
2) The whole part where he's talking to the girls about their biological functions is pretty gross.
3) The movie was pretty long and ho hum in the middle. But FWIW Ashton Kutcher has some way of having tight romcom movie endings. The beach in What Happens in Vegas, obvi A Lot Like Love, Just Married, and now this are all money. The last like 10 seconds where they decide to go big or go home really makes up for most of the movie's mediocrity.

Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Getting in a quick blog post after a busy day LOL
1) This was a pretty spooky movie for the first hour. The spooky part about the movie thats about a movie is that it could happen in real life. It's why Chucky is so spooky: BECAUSE EVERYONE THINKS HE'S NOT REAL.
2) It's also scary because the kid from Pet Sematary and Kindergarten Cop is pretty spooky. Then again I think most little kids in scary movies are generally terrifying so maybe it's just me.
3) The problem with this movie is it goes wrong where the rest of the Nightmare on Elm Street sequels go wrong (which I haven't reviewed yet lol): after the first 30 minutes. Don't get it twisted, there's a bunch of Nightmare movies that are definitely top 25, but for a lot of the sequels they just get jitsu when Freddy's world gets introduced. I mean, come on, Freddy's tongue is really a weapon in this one? And what was up the stupid earthquakes the whole time? Freddy can't really have that much power over tectonic plate shifts can he?
In the end it's lightyears ahead of some of the sequels, but still well behind the rest.

The Graduate
1) It looks like the dude is looking out of a Michael Myers mask at the beginning of the movie when the dude keeps jumping in the pool. I have an blog post in the works that talks about all the Michael Myers look a likes. It'll be tight.
2) Alan kept talking about the water symbolism but I don't get it. It's like he's confused whenever he sees the water? I dunno.
3) I never figured out that the ending was famous, I had just seen it in Wayne's World. This ending was pretty stupid. They decide to leave the wedding to go away together and then have that 'oh shit' look when they realize they don't know what they're doing. Reason 4232 not to make any impromptu marriage decisions lol.
4) Oh and Wayne's World runs laps around this movie.

The Hangover: Part 2
1) I'm really torn about the movie. It went from being really funny to me getting ADD in the middle of it. I'm not sure how long it was but it seemed like there were parts where I was just waiting for them to yell that they figured out where the kid was.
2) There were some really tight parts. The whole silent monk thing was good and so was the IHOP/dentist bit.
3) I think they were trying to overdo zach galifinabalabbalsosfh. There were too many scenes that just honed in on his face. I never got why zooming in on someones face was LOL.
4) It was still pretty solid. I think the biggest problem for this was just that it had to follow The Hangover which was so good. It's not that this movie was bad, it was just lightyears behind the original.
Worth a trip to the movies,
B
