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,

The Uninvited (2009)

1) Top notch stuff. I thought the twist at the end was money but I always forget that The Sixth Sense [Blu-ray] already rolled this out years before lol.

2) I don't really understand the whole mental patient thing. I get that she's just imagining the sister there and stuff but what was up with the Mildred thing? She thought the stepmom was named that but it was just the chick who lived next to her in the hospital? I guess I missed why that was so significant.

3) Some parts don't make a whole lot of sense. I don't get the little red haired girl that keeps popping up since the stepmom never actually killed anyone.

4) The rest of my thoughts are escaping me now. I'm really hungry and kinda dehydrated lol.

Scream 4

1) It was light years ahead of Scream 3 [Blu-ray], and maybe even close to the original Scream, but nothing too wild.

2) As you all might know, I was kind of hoping that they'd totally start anew with the cast (circa January of this year), but it was still good for the most part. I wasn't wild about Macaulay Culkin's little brother being the killer since he's not very scary, but the new cast was good. The looker from I Love You, Beth Cooper was also in it which was top notch.

3) I got ADD in the middle of the movie, but the opening scene about the movie within a movie was really tight, and so was the last scene at the hospital. "DON'T F*** WITH THE ORIGINAL".

Despite it's length, it was pretty money.

Taylor Swift Story of Us

WGBW, I promise to be back soon, been working too much lately lol.

1) Not much to say about the new video, it's just tight. They released it right off the heels of Mean, but it's super tight to have just a wreck of tswift videos being rattled off in a row.

2) As I predicted back in the day I think this song's only got up to go and this video bolsters that.

3) She's a babe in this video. I think the dirty blonde hair is legit.

4) I am kinda confused by the ending of the video. I guess listening to the song gave me the impression that her and this dude are still estranged at the end and this video hints at it but in a weird way. I guess I'll just leave it to the imagination lol.

A+

**Edit- Forgot to attach the video lol, here it is :)

Law & Order SVU: Season 12

1) What the hell happened to Munch? Even when he was in an episode he was only there for a few seconds. He's probably my least favorite, but he's money in his supporting roles and I'm not sure why they put him on the backburner so much.

2) I won't spoil the finale for some n00bs (@imbricker), but it wasn't anywhere near the great ep that Season 9 was, and not even close to 10, but still good. They're running out of people to kill off though lol.

3) I'm also confused by the repeat disappearance of ADA Novak. If she got rehired again I dunno why she takes off. Don't get it twisted, the new ADA is tight but Novak was tight. They should've at least explained the disappearance.

4) The "Bully" episode was tight. As a random aside that Season 5 ep "Mean" has the same sick title as the new TSwift Video. #yeahbuddy

**edited for n00bery lol

Friday the 13th Part 3

1) This movie is also available in 3D and its tight. I really like 3D but the problem I have with it is the same problem I have with horror movies that are too scary: they freak me out. There's a scene where this pole looks like it's gonna hit you in the face and Jason shoots a spear gun at the camera. Spooky stuff.

2) It's tight he finally gets the hockey mask in this movie.

3) Alright BW, I also figured out that mystery from last night about the old dude. Abel is the name of this old dude and not Ralph. Sorry for the n00bery on my part BW, that was a rookie mistake.

4) I'm not terribly wild about the first few movies all having the samesque ending where the remaining survivor has something crazy happen to them only to wake up in the hospital. I'm glad they finally get over that in the last movies.

I've seen it almost too many times,

Fright Night Trailer

Dear god it looks tight

Friday the 13th Part 2

Today's FRIDAY THE 13TH!

1) Quite a bit better than the first one. Mostly due to the fact that Jason's moms not the killer anymore.

2) It's still a little jitsu. I don't know why Jason didn't find his hockey mask yet. The white bag over his head was a little goofy.

3) The ending was pretty good. Putting the mom's sweater on was a clutch move by that chick to TKO Jason.

4) I'm confused by the crazy guy dying during the beginning of the movie. For some reason I thought that he was around for Jason Takes Manhattan but I'll have to investigate that further.

Top notch stuff,

A+

American Beauty

Watched this with @markster. I think I'll take a hiatus from suggestions from him after Inception and Annie Hall both flopped. This was the nail in the coffin lol.

1) I don't get all the artsy fartsy stuff. The stupid paper bag flying around was goofy, and I don't get what was up with the dude imagining all the roses everywhere. I didn't major in art history or anything but I don't get all the weird shit like that in the movie.

2) Why was everyone so sad? He's sad that his marriage blows, the wife's sad with him, and the teen daughter is angry. I get that, but there's not a single cheerful person in the movie. The Colonel (lol) is angry all the time, the colonel's son doesn't smile at all, even the dude the wife is sleeping with is complaining all the time. Even the girl from the American Pie (Unrated) movies got all sad at the end. I don't need any Disney themed movies or anything, but just something a little cheerful :)

3) I'm not even sure what the point of the movie was. Was it just that the guy's life sucked but then he was happy after almost making moves with his daughters friend? Those last few lines of the movie seem way to happy to fit with this emo-ness.

4) The only good parts of the movie were when Kevin Spacey just made fun of everyone. Oh, and that the dude calls himself THE COLONEL.

5) The only other good thing that came out of this movie was finding out that the American Pie girl is gonna be in this sick movie called LAST STOP (you can see the trailer here) that looks super tight.

Children of the Corn (2009)

WGBW, rounding down some studying for the night. Thought I'd throw a review of this gem of a movie I just watched.

1) Like most of the remakes it was ho-hum. The remake of Halloween did it's elders justice but this one wasn't great.

2) How goofy is the little dude that is supposed to be in charge of the cult? He was kinda stupid in the first one but this is just jitsu. In the scene where they surround the girl and he signals for the kill, he looks like one of those tee-ball kids who gives out base stealing signs. Also, I'm pretty sure he's one of the kids on Dexter: The Second Season.

3) It also seemed like the couple just kept fighting and fighting the whole first part of the movie. If someone was nagging at me during a road trip through rural Nebraska I might've pulled the car over too.

4) For you Friends fans out there, do you remember the episode with the home study? (You can see the relevant clip here) Joey develops the code word BERT for danger. There's a clip in this movie (which you can see here at the 6:49 mark) that shows her yelling BERT the same way Joey does LOL (you can also see that goofy signaling the kid does there too).

Nothing to write home about, but I wouldn't change the channel

The Hitcher (1986)

WGBW, sorry in the middle of finals, will make this up soon. Anywho, today's movie is THE HITCHER.

1) The first part of this movie was so tight. Guy picks up another dude, then the dude starts going crazy. Kind of reminds me of the first part of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But the same jitsu that plagued that movie seemed to plague this one.

2) How many different times did the kid manage to lose the psycho but then accidentally run into him again? Having driven on a who's who list of barren country roads I can tell you that the odds of this are slim to none.

3) As if it wasn't bad enough that he kept running into him, he kept just prolonging the movie. Dear god did it take forever to get over with.

C-

One Missed Call

1) It was worse than I remember. A bunch of really bad scary movies start out really tight and then go south quickly. Add this one to the list.

2) There was a whole bunch of dumb stuff. The people that die have a candy in their mouth, and theres these hodgepodge of little girls that somehow either are responsible for people dying or protect them. It doesn't make any sense.

3) I'm kind of confused how the plot is that much different from The Ring (Widescreen Edition). You get a call, you die, theres just no scary little girl in this one.

4) After some investigation by Markster I learned this movie has a 0% on rotten tomatoes lol.

5) For as bad as it was, it's hard for the teen thriller stuff to go too to bad for me,

D+

The Leprechaun

Wgbw. Dear god was this a bad one.

1) I dunno how anyone thought this guy was scary. I know I've obvi gotten a lot of slack for being afraid of Chucky, but this guy is past the point of jitsu. In the first 2 Child's Play movies, Chucky was made out to be scary. I'm not sure that anyone is trying to make the Leprechaun scary here.

2) How did Jennifer Aniston get her big break into Friends here?

3) They killed the leprechaun by shooting him with a wad of gum with a four leaf clover on it. Am I missing something? I thought the four leaf clover was lucky.

4) And how goofy is the Leprechaun's reason for trying to get everybody, I mean he wants all of his gold. I don't think there's ever been another scary movie where the killer just wants his gold coins.

Ahyaya,

D+

The Strangers

Whats good blog world, just added a new feature to the blog. It's got it's own TWITTER.

Anywho, just realized me and @clozer were gonna review this one but it never materialized. I think I can speak for us all when I say that this one was scary.

1) The people that just stand around and stare are always creepy as hell to me, especially when they have these spooky masks on. There's a youtube video you can see here that makes me think I'm not the only person who gets spooked out by this.

2) The part where you first see the stranger walk up behind Liv Tyler is one of the spookiest scenes of all time.

3) The trailer actually might be scarier than the actual movie (you can see it here as well). Me and @imbricker went to go see Prom Night (Unrated) in theaters and this was a preview. Prom Night wasn't scary at all (still surprised I got DB to come with me to that) but dear god did this trailer scare me.

4) There were some stupid parts. I don't think a stalker would actually sit on the swingset swinging while you were trying to run away from them. The "because you were home" line was also kinda silly.

Regardless it was still SCARY STUFF

Top 10 Movie Scenes #1: Bad Boys: the Intro

Sorry blog fans for the lack of a climactic ending, but there's no question about what's number 1. I've repped this scene/movie so much just because it's so tight and I'm sure you regular viewers won't be surprised about it. You can see my previous thoughts on it here, but I'll post the link again.

I did forget that one time some guy came up to me in a bar because he thought I was talking shit on Wesley Snipes lol. After I told him I was just yelling about this scene he thought I was awesome.

Top 10 Movie Scenes #2: 8 Mile: The Final Rap Battles

How good were these scenes? 8 Mile's my favorite movie of all time and this is definitely part of it. The video pretty much speaks for itself. The last part against Papa Doc is top notch. 313! (Sorry for the bad quality lol).

Top 10 Movie Scenes #3: The Notebook: Why Didn't You Write Me?

Alright blog world, there's a bunch of girly movies with good shit in them but this ones the best. The scene takes place a bunch of years after they fell in love. She gets engaged but she sees his picture in the paper so she goes to visit. They go recreationally rowing but it starts to rain. Then she asks him WHY HE NEVER WROTE.

Top 10 Movie Scenes #4: Bad Boys 2: We Ride Together

Well, no surprises here tweet fans. There's not a bad scene in this whole movie, but this ones a step ahead of the rest. After Mike and Marcus finally make moves against the drug lords, Marcus gets a call that the Cubans got his sister.

WE RIDE TOGETHER, WE DIE TOGETHER, BAD BOYS FOR LIFE.

Top 10 (TV) Scenes Honorable Mention: Friends: Did She Get Off the Plane

It's hard for me to go through the top 10 scenes without mentioning a non movie one. The greatest scene in the greatest TV show in this history of the world: Friends. In the series finale Rachel leaves for her new job in Paris despite Ross hunting her down at the airport and telling her that he still loves her. A dejected Ross returns home only to find out that SHE GOT OFF THE PLANE. It doesn't get better then this BW

**Edit**- I forgot to mention. When they kiss here the same music plays that played when they had their first kiss. #themoreyouknow

Top 10 Movie Scenes #5: A Lot Like Love: I'm Engaged

WGBW, a great scene coming for you tonight. It's from A Lot Like Love (Full Screen Edition) (which I previously reviewed here). The scene is when Ashton Kutcher's company bottoms out and he moves back home and figures out that he wants to make moves on Amanda Peet. He finds out where she lives and sings I'll Be There for You to her. She tells him she's engaged and it's D-E-vastating. When they say goodbye it's one of the saddest scenes in movie history. It's not quite the tearjerker that the last Friends episode was, but it's close. "I guess when I'm an old man I'll never have to wonder what if.." Attached is the clip bw,it goes till about the 2 minute mark.

Top 10 Movie Scenes #6: Bad Boys 2: Reggie Comes to the Door

WGBF, continuing on with the countdown. This one's not too surprising and it's generally well reviewed by the fans. It's in Bad Boys II when Reggie comes to take out Martin Lawrence's daughter. Really good stuff. It's also sandwiched right after the first time Will Smith says BAD BOYS FOR LIFE which is super tight.

Anywho, here's the video, it's tight.

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday

Wgbf, sorry for the delays. Been busy with a bunch of school stuff. I'm still busy but having a hard time concentrating right now lol. The countdown will go on, but I just saw this and thought I'd schwangle it.

1) A pretty jitsu movie overall. I think the stupid looking poster gives it away. I don't know why they can't just have him keep making it rain at Camp Chrystal Lake. Deciding to let him manifest himself in all these other people is kind of jitsu.

2) To be honest, I've watched this movie 3 times and still don't know what happens. He gets in the other dude but then that bounty hunter guy keeps preventing him from dying? I'm not even sure how he dies at the end.

3) The tight part is when Freddy's hand comes out of the ground and pulls his mask down. I don't know how they would've imagined the sequel 13 years ahead of time, but props on that.

It was a turd but the Friday the 13th movies are tight,

Top 10 Movie Scenes #7: Nothing to Lose Diner Scene

WGBW, coming out at you live from Tulsa. Should get a chance to catch up now that its SPRING BREAK #yeahbuddy. Anywho, scene 7 is from Nothing to Lose, it's such a tight movie with so many good scenes. Here's one of my favorite ones, where ML makes it rain.

Top 10 Movie Scenes #8: (Tie) Inception andThe LOTR: The Return of the King

This one was too close to call.

As many of you know by now my attention span is about 8 1/2 minutes long. Inception and The Lord of the Rings were literally some of the longest movies I can remember. I don't think either one of them was really good, but nonetheless one thing is certain: they both took way too long to get done.

Anywho, they both win an award for the 8th best movie scene: right when they ended.

Here's the link for the LOTR one. The clip is so long I don't want people to get the idea that this blog supports such long endings.

Top 10 Movie Scenes: #9: Beavis and Butthead Do America: We're Never Gonna Score

What a sick movie. Why I haven't reviewed it is beyond me. Anywho, it's always so tight whenever Beavis goes on rants about stuff like this. Some of his best stuff :)

Top 10 Movie Scenes: #10: Rocky Training Montage

10) Obviously all of the Rocky scenes are badass but you have to give the cake to the one that started it all. Whenever I get apathetic about going to Jims house I always put this one on and it makes me push it to the limit. YESYESYES! It's a sick movie and has one of the sickest theme songs ever. It's no Rocky 4, but it's top notch.

Top 10 Movie Scenes

Wgbw,

Sorry for the delays, still trying to get big paper done by Friday lol. Anywho, I have a bunch of movies in the hopper but figured it'd be less time consuming and more entertaining just to do my top 10 scenes in motion picture history. It'll be good so stay tuned!

White Men Can't Jump

1) It's a real sick movie. It's got a good storyline, fucking Wesley Snipes is in it, and they even rep jeopardy.

2) It reminded me of another sick movie, Nothing to Lose. There's that part in Nothing to Lose where Tim Robbins drops Martin Lawrence off and then Martin's real angry about him just having to go back to a shitty life. It's kinda like that here where Woody Harrellson has to pick between pissing his lady friend off or trying to make it rain for Wesley Snipes and his family. #parallelism

3) Woody's lady friend is tight and she was on an episode of Law & Order SVU once upon a time.

4) As a side note, I really wish Wesley Snipes wouldn't have gotten in all that trouble with the law. He was supposed to go head to head with Joe Rogan and that woulda been tight to see.

I should get this on DVD,

Bad Boys Intro

WGBW sorry for the delays. Been busy as nuts lately but I'll try to make it rain soon. Busy with a memo for the next weekish but I'll try to show you all some love.

Anywho, to tide you over- here's the clip of the Bad Boys intro. Gets really good at 2:25.
