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,

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,

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,

C-

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.

When A Stranger Calls (2006)

1) Creepy house. She certainly does do a horrible job of checking on the kids. Or just even locking the door lol.

2) Me and @jkasten saw this in theaters back in the day. I kind of wish all the previews didn't spoil the movie when it first came out. The whole 'the call is coming from inside the house' is a scary punch line and shit (and used before in Black Christmas) but I don't know why they had to let the cat out of the bag so early.

3) Some pretty big Friday the 13thesque stuff when shes hiding under the water walk and hes grabbing her.

4) There's a chick who yells out her door "ANDREW JOSEPH". lol.

5) The movie's only 1:23 #mykindofmovie

B-

Bad Boys

1) It's got the best 3 minutes of any movie ever (you can watch it here). When Martin Lawrence yells "YOU LIKE THAT SHIT? WESLEY SNIPES, PASSENGER 57!", it's got to be one of the greatest moments in motion picture history.

2) It's not near as good as the second one. They do include several of the same references (obvi). The "thats how you drive" and them singing Bad Boys is kinda tight in both.

3) The chick in this ones not near as tight as Gabrielle Union is. But fair enough, she's a hard target to catch.

4) Christopher from the The Sopranos: The Complete Series is in it lol.

You want something bad enough?! COME GET SOME!

A+

Chasing Amy

1) As most of you who follow my blog probably know by now, I don't have great taste in movies. I'm aware that some of my favorite movies aren't well reviewed and that my idiosyncrasies are kinda foreign to a lot of people. With all that said sometimes there are movies that I think are good that I know are actually good movies. And this is definitely one of them.

2) It's raunchy as hell for a lot of the movie but has some really good romancesque parts in it too. The dude preaching about the white devil is too funny and Jason Lee is always on fire (except for that movie Stealing Harvard which, although not his fault, is one of the worst movies I've ever seen).

3) I'm not really sure why his solution at the end was the 3 way ultimatum between them. I don't know why he thought that either one of them would think that that was a good idea.

4) The endings pretty sad. It didn't really make me angry like The Breakup did, but nonetheless was kinda :(. I mean, he loses his best friend and his girlfriend, and then shows up to see whats up with his old girlfriend and they just get real sad saying goodbye to each other again. You have to be in the right mood to finish this one lol.

Just short of the A range,

B+

The Wicker Man (1973)

1) I was thoroughly confused for almost the entire movie. The dude goes to find this lost girl but then gets sucked into some weird creepy culture that loves singing but then gets sacrificed? Weird shit.

2) I'm not wild about musicals (actually I really don't like them at all), and this one was just singing up a storm. What was up with the scene with the dude and chick singing at each other through the walls? I don't know why the kidnap investigator would just sing mid-investigation.

3) It's still kinda creepy. All the dressed up people and the spooky little kids still make this kind of scary.

4) On Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - The Tenth Year Elliot goes to Europe to investigate some sex trafficking but he doesn't run into too much trouble. This dude should've bulked up and had Olivia-like back up so he could've avoided getting schwangled at the end.

5) A very Children of the Cornesqe ending: a big cult trying to sacrifice the foreigner, but obvi just not near as good.

D

KU Oklahoma State Game

WGBW. I usually don't venture into athletics very much but it was a sick game that gave a shout out to the debate team so I thought I'd spread the love,

1) Marcus is a hoss. 27 points is out of control. When him and Kief are on it's gonna be super hard to stop us.

2) I was worried about Tyshawn's absence but EJ was just making it rain from downtown! I'm still not wild about being without Tyshawn but it was good to see we could fill the gap.

3) It's always so tight when Bobby Knight starts talking about sportsmanship. Everytime he says how much he admires it I always picture him chucking those chairs in the middle of the court lol.

4) Last, but certainly not least, big shout out to team Milkbox and Professor Harris for making a strong appearance. Rumor is they'll have a spot on the Bill Self show soon!

A+

Episodes Season 1

Had some requests to review TV shows but was never sure the best way to go about it. The season finale of this just aired and there's only 1 season so it seemed like a go.

1) The first few episodes weren't great but the last few were money. They really picked it up once they started making Matt Leblanc get more air time. The first episode only showed him for 30 seconds, maybe that's why it sucked.

2) The 2 British people are real legit too. I'm not wild of the turn the show took in the last episodes though. Having Matt sleep with the chick seemed like it ruined a lot of the shit they could do with it but who knows what season 2 will look like.

3) As much as it pains me to say it, it's quite a bit better than Joey - The Complete First Season. I mean, obvi my favorite Friends character is Joey, but the spinoff wasn't near as good as it could've been. This builds on a bunch of this but gets rid of the NBC editing cuss words.

It's no Eastbound and Down or anything, but still a sick new show,

B+

Cabin Fever

1) Pretty good stuff. Not really too spooky since there was just a virus and no serial killer or anything but still pretty good.

2) Hard to be too spooked out with anything that has the kid from Boy Meets World: The Complete First Season in it. He still played his character well though.

3) Not wild about all the people hurling blood. That was pretty sick.

4) I didn't realize till the credits that Eli Roth was actually in the movie. I didn't know he actually made so many appearances in all of his movies. Wild shit.

Except for the gross factors it was pretty good

B-

Let Me In

WGBW long jitsu sickness this week. Almost back up to full speed.

1) The whole movie was pretty depressing. The kid's moms sad with him, the vampire and dad are always fighting and the kids life at school is super depressing. Paired up with the slow sad music its hard to stay upbeat during this one. The bullying scenes were fucked up too.

2) Creepy shit at the beginning with the Michael Myers mask. I'm gonna have to post about all the movies that rep the mask at some point. It never fucking goes out of style.

3) I'm not wild about vampire movies either but I guess this one was okay. The kids were good actors and shit and all the actual vampire scenes were pretty crazy.

Despite it's depressing shenanigans, light years ahead of the other vampire jitsu I've seen (except for Fright Night obvi).

C+

Hitch

1) Very well rounded stuff. It's a little bit of an unbelievable story line but the movie's still good.

2) Actually the storylines pretty jitsu. How would a date doctor pay taxes? And why would the media even care about him? Besides the occupational jitsu though it's pretty good.

3) The underdog getting the hot girl is always a good storyline.

4) After rewatching this it seems to be a lot more mediocre then I remember. But I can't for the life of me figure out what's bugging me about it. Maybe it's just because there's no Martin Lawrence in it. Who knows.

5) Eva Mendes is a babe. She's also in Children of the Corn 5 - Fields of Terror, an underrated sick movie in and of itself.

B+

Sweet Home Alabama

1) One of my all time favorites. I've got much love for the small town love story and this one's good. Most of it's probably just due to my love for small towns, but this was still legit.

2) I feel bad for the other guy. In some of these movies somebody ends up getting dicked even though he didn't do anything. Even at the end he just ducks out even though he gets clobbered out in booneville alabama.

3) Also kinda crazy because the chick makes moves for the guy at the end of this one. Besides A Lot Like Love, I can't really remember too many films where the chick goes to hunt down the dude at the end. Then again I haven't thought too much about this lol.

4) The guys name is Andrew Hennings. What a weirdo.

A

The Roommate

First a big shout out to several people who made watching the movie in the theater enjoyable:

a) The 3 12 year old girls who kept screaming before anything scary happened and kept predicting the next parts really vocally.

b) The half a dozen people who joined us throughout the last 30 minutes of the movie. We couldn't have done it without you.

c) The attention deficit 8 year old who sat behind me. Thanks for repeatedly kicking the back of my chair, chattering constantly, and saying "Gross!!" when the 2 hot chicks were making out.

d) And last, but not least, the mother of 5 who let her children use me and Joel's personal space as a home away from home.

1) Besides the poor viewing environment, it was pretty tight. As I anticipated it was a lot better version of Single White Female. The scene where she goes to meet up the ex-boyfriend is fucking almost identical to it.

2) The whole movie was pretty predictable, but they did a hell of a job mixing up the ways the roommate would take everyone to town. The cat in the dryer thing was new, as was professor.

3) Objectively the story didn't make that much sense. For some reason or another the roommate hated some other girl she used to stalk and always wanted to whoop on her parents. The only explanation was that she was off her meds. I'm sure mental health professionals raved about the portrayal of mentally ill kids in this lol.

4) I don't really know how it was rated PG-13. There was phone sex and a bunch of other inappropriate shenanigans.

Better than I thought it'd be,

A

K-State lol

lol

Pretty Woman

1) Really solid overall. Good unique plot and I always get a thing for movies that build off the prince/damsel in distress story.

2) Richard Geres a good actor and all but he kinda brings this movie down a little bit. I mean, I get that he's supposed to be this depressed business guy who Julia Roberts brings out of a funk, but even at the end he's still pretty Debbie Downer.

3) The scene with the horses at the end always reminds me of the end of Notting Hill (Collector's Edition) because Julia ROBERTS (edit lol) is making moves by the horses lol.

4) It didn't make much sense that she was gonna move 5 hours in order to get her GED at the end. She coulda just gotten it in L.A.

5) She says she used to screw the debate team in high school lol.

Good Stuff

B+
