Top 10 TV Shows: #9: To Catch a Predator

#9 is tha hit show TO CATCH A PREDATOR.

I have a love/hate relationship with documentaryesque shows, but this one is top notch. I mean, they take sex predators off the street, bring justice to the world, and generally make for good television.

Two other observations

a) The episodes where Chris Hansen gives his commentary about the current episode that the audience is watching is super dumb. It's like, hey Chris, we're watching the same fucking show and know what is happening. We don't need your play by play about what questions you're asking the guy.

b) During a TCAP binge, AMAC and I noticed that on the older eps (that I think are available on youtube) they pause the screen on the offender's face right as CH walks out and play this crazy music. It's awesome.

Top 10 TV Shows: #10: Real Chance of Love

Wgbw, the 10th greatest tv show of all time was the hit VH1 reality show REAL CHANCE OF LOVE.

Real and Chance were originally contestants on I Love New York (which was a spawn off of Flavor of Love). New York was a pretty cray character but she at least introduced the world to Real and Chance. 

It was really such a solid show due to Chance being on the show. He was always being tight, got drunk and did crazy shit, and was pretty incomprehensible.

The other solid part was the sick theme song that was sang by tha 3 brothers. And obvi the questions they asked tha girls to stay on the show: "Will you take a CHANCE with me? Will you keep it REAL with me?"

STALLIONAIRES!!

Top 10 TV Shows of All Time

Wgbw. I know I've been slacking lately, but I promise to make it up. As part of this, I'm doing a top 10 countdown of tha greatest TV shows of all time.

Now I know there are some obvi spoilers from tha rest of the blog. But I promise it'll be mildly entertaining lol.

Stay tuned \o/

We're the Millers

1) This was pretty solid. Obvi going into the movie you knew there would be some dumb scenes since they are doing something so ridiculous lol. I mean, it was a little over tha top to repeatedly beat up these international drug lords. And what are tha odds that a group of 4 strangers could really spend 48 hours together and decide they should be a family for the rest of their life? But overall, it was pretty good.

2) Man that one goofy kid must have really gotten his jollies going when he was making out with the two of them at once lol.

3) Despite how all around good the movie was, the best part was definitely in the after takes where they surprise Jennifer Aniston by playing the Friends theme song. She looked like she was tearing up even after all these years :(

4) Anyone catch Jason Sudeikis's Arthur Bryant's shirt?!?! He's always repping KC.

B+

Freaks and Geeks

1) Me and Alan watched this sporadically for a few weekends. At least it ate up a few of those Sundays lol.

2) I could do without them following around the outcast group of people. It seemed like it rehashed a worse version of the Breakfast Club. The 80s already did the rebel outcast genre. I don't know why they tried to reinvent the wheel here.

3) The geeks were all kinda tight. Almost seemed like they musta been geeks in real life too to play it that well. Although I will say, what on god's green earth was the main character thinking when he broke up with Cindy? I mean, HELLO MCFLY, what are the odds he's ever gonna have a girlfriend again? Is his beef really that she just wants to gii and not watch his goofy movies? smh.

4) And what was going on with the ending? The show really ends when the girl goes to academic camp but ends up going concert hopping all summer? Is that supposed to be symbolism or something? What happened to the rest of the characters? Did that one guy keep playing dungeons and dragons? Too many questions.

Good if you're bored, but don't pull out tha wallet for this one

C+

The Call

1) For how goofy the movie poster for this one is, it was pretty okay. I mean, what's going on with the all red poster? And I'll bet a lot of 911 calls are personal LOL.

2) For how solid of a 911 operator she is, you think she'd be trained not to go out and do maverick detective work. All the police in Los Angeles and someone who sits behind a desk all day manages to figure out where this killer guy is hiding?

3) And really she's got better odds of winning the lottery then randomly getting this guy's new victim to call in again. I mean, a 911 operator takes a phone call in LOS ANGELES. Then, it freaks her out so much that she goes on admin duty for awhile. THEN she's doing a random training one day and manages to get the hear a caller who is getting stalked by the same killer. What are the odds of that? (As a side note, I've been calling into a lot of radio contests lately and never manage to be the 95th caller. Maybe I'm just in the bitter barn lol.)

4) And what was going on with the ending? They finally track this guy down and then just leave him in this underground home he has? I don't think they even really injure him. They just tie him down in his own little unfinished basement and leave. What justice smh.

All that and the movie was still pretty original and kept my attention.

Chris Weidman: My Last Hope

Alright bw, I try not to veer off tha movie theme too much, but I gotta get this off my chest.

Chris Weidman is my last hope at UFC glory for the immediate future.

For those of you familiar with buffalo, my favorite fighters, in no particular order, were/are Chuck Liddell, Matt Hughes, Frank Mir, and Dan Henderson. As you might note, most of these fighters are in their late 30s, retired, or keep getting knocked unconscious.

Matt Hughes. He had such a good run going. He choked out Ricardo with a wrestling move, beat that n00b Gracie, and shut up Matt Serra. Then he got knocked out by BJ Penn and Koscheck and subsequently retired :(

Chuck Liddell. My oldest fave fighter, he was fighting Shogun for a shot at the belt and then got knocked out. He came back in the best shape of his life, broke Rich Franklin's arm, and then managed to get knocked out into retirement.

Frank Mir. He still has some gas in the tank, but after losing a title shot to JDS and then losing to Cormier, he won't be getting a shot at the belt any time soon.

Dan Henderson. Man, Hendo knocked out Fedor, Cavalcante, and put a whooping on Shogun, only to lose two heartbreaking split decisions that probably eliminate any chance of him getting a shot at the belt.

Chris Weidman. Buff's last shot at greatness. In the last two years of my life, Hendo and Mir have both lost twice, and my other two favorites are retired. As Eminem would say, "Success is my only m***f*** option, failure's not." Although Weidman is only 29, and will obvi comeback from this fight if he loses, that would blow. Buff's string of bad luck has run out. Weidman has the chin, wrestling, and submissions to take the belt tonight. The GOAT's time has come. WELCOME TO THE WEIDMAN ERA.

Why Tony Lives: Silencing the Haters Once and For All

This is a shortened post. I originally tried to make AT's every possible reason Tony died, but I figured that will be a post for another day. After looking all over the internet I realize there are a thousand different conspiracy theories as to why Tony dies. I won't address all of them because some of them are so far fetched it's unreal.

Anywho, here's the top few reasons why he doesn't die, and some answers to the dumb 'he died' args.

1) We've always been privy to hits on Tony. Why not now?

David Chase has been SHH at fans too focused on the finale. The above article says Chase didn't analyze all of those goofy little connections that make people think he died. Hell, the guy that interviewed Chase when writing the book doesn't even think Tony dies.  His argument is that we were always privy to everything going on in the show. The audience knew when people wanted hits on Tony; we knew that Patsy was drunk about to take out Tony in his backyard; we were privy to every conversation in which another boss wanted Tony out; Junior's conversation about going downtown. Why would Chase leave the audience out of the loop in this one? Certainly we would have heard if someone made an order to take out Tony. We've seen it EVERY OTHER TIME. Why would they veer off the path now?

2) The cast thinks he lives.

Not my best arg, but try to find a cast member who think he dies. David Chase won't close the door on a movie. If Tony's dead how could they possibly make a movie? Bobby thinks so too. Tony was all riled up that they just killed him off but then he too realized that didn't actually happen.

3) No motive.

There's a truce! Phil's dead and everyone has agreed not to make any more moves. Who would have a motive to take Tony out at this point? If Tony feels comfortable enough to let his family out is there really a danger to him?

4) WHO KILLS TONY?

For all you haters out there who think Tony dies, riddle me this: who figures out where Tony is? I can already predict the response to this: "someone with some allegiance to Phil." It's just a boogeyman theory. No one knows anyone specific, but everyone is damn sure that somebody did it. If I'm wrong someone should just reply with the person's name. I'll retract the entire post if someone can answer that question without a qualifier.

5) Logistically no one can get him. 

That Butch guy spends the entire episode getting lost in China town. All of a sudden he can navigate to the new restaurant Tony's family is trying out? They can't even get close to him for two eps, gets lost in Chinatown, but then they can remarkably track him down at the restaurant?

And how is he supposed to find this diner within 6 minutes of Tony's arrival? Not only does this mystery man track Tony down. But executes him and waits on his entire family to get there. Obvi he's interested in making Tony apprehensive the whole time by walking around the restaurant, and really wants his whole family to witness the whole ordeal. SMH.

During the entire show, Tony always asks people if they are being followed? He's irate about this the entire show. If all of you haters really think that there has never been a bigger threat on Tony's life then why would he dilly-dally around and not notice someone following him? IT'S LITERALLY THE ONLY THING ON HIS MIND DURING THE LAST EP. Someone tell me how he'd forget about this when there's supposedly a big target on his back.

6) Journey wouldn't sign off on them using DONT STOP BELIEVING until he knew that Tony wouldn't get wacked. What's your answer to that haters?

1) A2 "But it turns black at the end!"

Yeah, like it would really be that simple. Here's what I don't get about all you naysayers: on one hand you argue that the screen turned black so it's obvi he's dead. I mean, what a simple explanation. On the other hand, you have all these theories about tigers, the color orange, abe lincoln, and the last supper as esoteric (how's that for vocab lol) clues that also explain it. I mean, pick which one.

Also, David Chase disagrees with you lol. "There was nothing definite about what happened." Here's more ev that focusing on tha final scene leads to misinterpretation. "(Chase insists that what you saw (and didn't see) is what you get. "There are no esoteric clues in there. No `Da Vinci Code,'")"

2) "BUT BOBBY SAYS YOU DON'T HEAR IT. AND THEY REFERENCE THAT IN THE SECOND TO LAST EP."

For the record, Bobby says you probably don't hear it when it happens. How do you explain that when Bobby dies he hears it? Sil doesn't hear it when what's his face gets taken out, but Sil hears it the rest of the series. And why wouldn't Sil hear it when the guy is at the table right next to him? Any explanation defies common sense. There's not a single person that dies in the show that doesn't hear it when it happens.

Using this logic, it's just as plausible that Tony had a panic attack in the final ep. Now I know what you're thinking, "But buffalo, he's never had a panic attack where he just blacks out all of a sudden." Well obvi. Neither does anyone else die and the screen just cuts to black. He's had more panic attacks then threats on his life. Even with this ridiculous line of thinking, he's still more likely to have had a panic attack then a sudden death. 

Warm Bodies

1) Eh, it's a lot better than some of tha other zombie movies. Obvi I have a thing for horror romcoms, but it was hard to get too wild about this one.

2) I guess it was one of tha first zombie movies to develop the subsets of zombies. I was only half paying attention when I was watching this so it made it pretty hard to keep up at first lol.

3) The whole thing is pretty out in left field. Even assuming zombies are real, it's still pretty unbelievable. I mean, they figure out that to transition the zombies into humans, they gotta start to get feelings for each other. Who would really be the first to jump off the cliff into that one? It's like, yeah I'll just start gii with this zombie and maybe he won't eat my friends flesh anymore.

4) It's pretty tight that there's a COLONEL in the movie who's trying to TKO people.

B-

Silver Linings Playbook

 
1) Eh. I was really excited about this movie. Some movie about a crazy guy and Jennifer Lawrence should be OTC. But after two hours I'm not sure anything actually ever got resolved.

2) It seemed like it went overboard with the whole crazy thing. Like I think it had a good setup of Bradley Cooper's character and Jennifer Lawrence was pretty solid. But it just kept going the whole movie. I mean, I get the whole mental illness is a lifetime thing but neither one of them ever really mellowed out. Even at the end of the movie she storms out because hes talking to his ex-wife even tho she knew that the ex-wife would be tuning in. The sequel to this movie would just be them having a bunch of fights over dumb things over and over again. I mean what kinda closure did anyone get? The dad's still gambling, he's still compulsive, and she's still pretty irrational.

3) And the music going on during the movie was driving me crazy (get it lol). It's like every time he was having an ep there was some music blaring that was drowning out whatever he was saying. I dunno if this was supposed to be symbolic  of his episodes or if it was just accidentally annoying.

4) As a random aside I made the following two notes during the movie: (1) "Julia stiles >>>>" & (2) "Jennifer lawrence >>>>>" Pretty deep stuff right there. They also had dinner on Halloween which was pretty tight.

5) The final nail in the coffin was when the movie ended by him talking about how Sunday is his favorite day of the week. Sundays suck. SMH.

Despite all my complaining, it was still pretty good. Jennifer Lawrence + crazy + RomCom ending. Go figure.

This Must Be the Place

One of my fans (Carver ;)) suggested I tune in and I love my fans so here goes nothing.

1)  Uhhhhhhh. I'll preface this post by saying I watched this with Bricker and I was actually paying attention tha whole time (Bricker said he was intrigued by this movie lol). So when  I've been confused in the past because of my ADD, I really tried not to be here.

2) To say that this movie was slow and dragged out is a gross misstatement. Sean Penn takes his sweet time trying to hunt down the guy that tormented his dad. He's not really in any hurry and goofs around the whole movie. He broke back into a teacher's house to steal a picture of a boat, stared at a buffalo for a good 15 minutes, and then played ping pong with some dude he met at a diner. All of this was integral to the movie's plot lol.

3) And why did the movie have so many confusing underdeveloped subplots?  There's the wierd woman at the house who's looking for a missing person that we never find out about. It's maybe the young girl's brother or something, but when Sean Penn finally decides to drop the goth look then the woman looks happy. That makes sense given that a bunch of people didn't like his goth look lol. And why did he drop the goth look? Just because he made that old guy stand naked in the cold? What good did that really do? And whatever happened to that coffeeshop guy he was trying to hook up with that girl?

4) And was it me or did Sean Penn really remind anyone of Edward Scissorhands and not Ursela and Phoebe's boyfriend from the hit tv show Friends?

This must be the place that Sean Penn's movies went down hill LOL.

D

Varsity Blues

1) Wgbw. The other night I woke up on the couch to the hit movie Friday Night Lights, and it reminded me that I haven't reviewed all of the movies I own about rural texas high school football. I mean how tight is the opening description of this movie, "In small-town Texas, high school football is a religion." #damnstraight.

2) It is kinda goofy how in most teen comedies all the actors/resses are in their mid 20s. If I was better looking I could probably go get a gig playing in some high school football thriller.

3) Amy Smart's character always weirded me out after she played such different characters in Road Trip and the Butterfly Effect. I guess maybe that just means she's a solid actress lol.

4) All in all a pretty solid movie. I mean, it's a little unbelievable and all, but it's hard to go wrong with this West Texas football thing.

B-

House at the End of the Street

1) I know I've been giving out some pretty generous grades lately, but dear god this was this good. After undergoing the routine 24 hour waiting period before letting the world know my thoughts, I'm still convinced this is one of the best horror movies in the last few years (obvi with Mama and Cabin in the Woods).

2) Crazy endings like the one in The Uninvited are really hit or miss. When I was first tuning into this I was just hoping that she didn't turn out to be the killer, or have her just be imagining someone next door all the time. When (*spoiler alert*) I finally put two and two together that the kid had just been kidnapping people to replace his sister my jaw almost dropped. It was that good of a story twist. Top notch stuff.

3) It almost took it too far. The very end where there's the flashback to his parents pretending that he is actually his sister was unnecessary. I also haven't figured out what the symbolism of the tree was all about.

4) Jennifer Lawrence has been pretty OTC so far. I actually wanna tune into that Silver Lining movie but still haven't gotten a chance to do so.

How this got an 11% on rotten tomatoes is beyond me,

A

This is 40

1) I kinda knew this movie would be sort of like Friends With Kids.  It's kinda slow and there's a bunch of parts of it where everyone is just sad and depressed about their life.

2) All in all it was still kinda tight at the beginning with all of the inappropriate humor and stuff. And them repping Megan Fox was pretty tight. Was kinda hoping that Seth Rogan and Katherine Heigl woulda made an appearance. It's kinda odd that a whole bunch of the plot focuses on her dad being AWOL but her bff sister is nowhere to be found.

3) Loved the shout out mentioning Ross, from the hit tv show Friends. And did anyone catch the reference to Tom Selleck?

4) At tha end of tha day, it's hard to think this was really good. The first hour was tight but then the last hour was just everyone fighting, complaining, and being sad. I mean, they ended the movie just promising to be like they used to be, which begs the question that they weren't happy at the beginning of the movie either.

C

2008 NCAA Championship DVD

1) In the spirit of today's game and March generally I thought I'd review tha final four DVD of tha 08 championship. Obvi not a review of tha actual game lol. We all know how that would turn out.

2) It's really pretty solid except that it only includes a portion of the UNC/KU game. To top it off the part they cut out is part of that run where we went up 40 to 12 or whatever that beating was. I think Petey has the whole game somewhere but it's sad it's not on here.

3) I was actually at tha final four that year (yeahbuddy). It always makes it kinda weird to watch the video of the game because are seats were on the other side so it always looks backwards lol.

4) Still a pretty solid way to get pumped up for KU games.

A

Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (Producer's Cut)

1) I felt like a horror n00b for awhile about this one. For all of my love of the Halloween movies, I never realized that a Producer's Cut originally got filmed for the original movie. I guess really you'd have to google the halloween movies to figure this out, but nonetheless I was smh.

2) Turns out it's a lot weirder but better than the old one. The other one still confuses me about the whole cult thing. I mean, this one is still pretty cray in the explanation that they make up for it, but at least it makes more sense than the theatrical one.

3) The part that really gives me the willies is the storyline about MM being the baby's dad. Doesn't really seem like MM's M.O.

4) All in all it's pretty tight. I mean, I sit around everyday and usually watch at least one of these Halloween movies. It's tight that there's another one I didn't even know about \o/

A

(oh p.s. I think this is only available on youtube, I don't think they actually released this one).

Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice

1) Seems to be a lot more old people that have came outta the wood work for this one. I thought they all had originally gotten TKO'd in the first one. Doesn't make sense that they all start surfacing after the remaining adults from the first movie almost get killed.

2) And there's a local university nearby? In the original movie Gatlin was out in the middle of nowhere and all the other towns nearby were ghost towns. Now there's some university professor who just happens to be studying the curses of those kids living nearby?

3) And what kind of film was this shot in? It really looks like whatever they filmed Murder She Wrote got transferred over here. Don't count this coming out on blu ray soon lol.

4) And there's the odd coincidence that the dad and his estranged son roll up to this haunted rural town with this children cult and both happen to fall in love with the 2 normal chicks in town. This whole movie is kinda unbelievable lol.

D+

Billy Madison

1) It's a real tight movie. Maybe I personally identify with it a little bit too in that after I graduated high school I realized I hadn't ever really learned anything. I dunno how many times we read McBeth or went over what that chemistry mole thing was but I'm still out to lunch on all of it.

2) This is also when Adam Sandler was hitting his peak as an actor/sort-of-musician. This and Happy Gilmore ran laps around anything he's done in the last 20 years.

3) And it was home to some tight quotes. "Chlorophyll? More like BOREophyll." And obvi one of the tightest elongated quotations in motion picture history .

4) And Ms. Vaughn?! AYE!!!

A

Scream 2

1) It was a pretty solid sequel. Although I have love for most other initial sequels (see Halloween 2, Hostel Part II, and Child's Play 2), this one wasn't near as good as some of the other famous movie chains.

2) Kinda crazy that the mom killer was Roseanne's sister lol. I get that I get spooked more often than the normal 26 year old. But really after she took her mask off could you really be that scared? This average looking not buff middle aged slow chick is chasing you around? I mean, just runaway FCS. Who knows tho; I've been scared of crazier stuff.

3) As I've mentioned before, one of the tight parts about the Scream movies is that they give a bunch of shout outs to other horror movies. At the same time, it makes me feel a little jitsu b/c I still haven't seen so many of the horror movies that they mention. I guess the blog has a long ways to go lol.

4) Also a big shout out for mentioning two of the characters from the hit tv show Friends.

B-

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

I can't believe I've never reviewed this before. It's such a solid movie.

1) The first time I saw it was way back in the day with that hippy Dave in San Jose. At the time, Dave had a pretty bad taste in movies. For example, the movie we watched prior to this was that stupid documentary about growing corn. But he hit the jackpot with this one.

2) Speaking of Dave (for those of you that know him), it just occurred to me that he looks a lot like Billy Mitchell. Maybe it's just the old guy with the ponytail and all. I'll bet Billy Mitchell is a Kentucky fan too lol.

3) I've never been too into video games (except for Halo and anything on the gamecube obvi), but this is a sick movie. It's like an underdog story of a junior high science teacher who has to beat some bully in Donkey Kong. If that doesn't sell a movie I dunno what will.

4) The other two things that set this movie apart:
a) the dramatic ending where the wife is crying because he didn't win the contest. Some solid drama.
b) The part where the son wants Steve to wipe his butt but he can't do it because he's playing Donkey Kong. I'll bet his wife was mad when she saw that lol.

A+

Friday Night Lights (the movie obvi)

I've been generally ignoring the Awards tonight given that they never hone in on the movies I generally rep lol. That said..

1) I've never been wild about dramas, but sports dramas seem to keep my attention (see Rocky IV and The Fighter).

2) Probably the most appealing part to me about this movie is that it reflects my life long goal to relocate to a rural Texas community that lives for Friday night football games. I'm still on the fence about living in either Midland or Odessa, but I'd bet almost anyone that within the decade I'll have settled down there. \o/

3) Sort of relevant to that, my love of country music had me surprised that Tim McGraw plays such a mean, overbearing father. I mean, it makes sense that he lives in rural Texas, but I just wish he wasn't so riled up all the time.

4) For everyone paying super close attention, the coach's wife was also a doctor in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake.

Hard to go wrong with west Texas football,

A-

Argo

1) Eh it was okay. Maybe if I was a history professor or something this would have more of an impact on me, but I bet you could just watch a documentary about this and it would be about the same. There was nothing really wrong with this movie, but you know they manage to get home in the end, so there's not really super drama going on.

2) It's also hard for me to picture Ben Affleck in any other role than the one he had in Chasing Amy (which btw I reviewed that movie exactly 2 years ago today lol). Now that movie was really tight.

3) Had a pretty tight cameo when Joshua from the hit TV show Friends made an appearance. He obvi looks a little older given that it's been 16 years since his appearance as Rachel's boyfriend.
They also said "WHEELS UP" in it. That bumped it up a half grade (obvi).

4) At the end of the day I'm just not sure anything really set this movie apart. I mean, it's a good story, had good acting, but nothing made me think "omg this has to be one of the best movies of the year."

C

Sinister

1) Overall it was pretty spooky. The little kids were spooky, the crazy Diety person was spooky, and so were all the videos. Even the preview for the movie gave me the willies. I'm not wild about snuff films, and he sure loved tunin into those during this movie. DL was that lawnmower film ridiculously gross tho.

2) But why was it so dark the whole movie? It's like he hears a noise and then just runs around investigating it without turning on any lights SMH. Even during the day there's no lights on. And how did the daughter figure out how to drug the dad in the dark? She's like, 'where's that big bag of melatonin lol'?

3) It had a lot of solid foreshadowing. Like when the mom kept telling Ashley how they had to make his coffee. Or Ashley's love 4 tha paintings.

4) Maybe the best part was that FRED THOMPSON played the sheriff in the movie. The politically apathetic side of me never realized he was a big Republican when he was staring on SVU all those years. But really, if Fred Thompson can't bring justice to your town, who really could?

The snuff really got to me smh,

B+

My Best Friend's Girl

1) It was better than I remembered. I'm not wild about Dane Cook, have a hit or miss relationship with Kate Hudson, and think Jason Biggs is pretty tight. But overall it was okay.

2) Part of my beef is I don't think Dane Cook is as good as other actors who try to pull off a bunch of raunchy one liners. My idol Joe Rogan has accused DC of stealing lines from other comedians so I think I generally am skeptical of him.

3) Also, the story is kinda unbelievable because Kate Hudson is light years outta Jason Biggs's league in this movie. Don't get me wrong, she's generally out of everyone's league, but here I don't think anyone was ever under the impression that the two of them were gonna work out.

4) The ending was kinda goofy too. I wasn't watching the movie under a microscope or anything, but did he really just run 26 miles with her to show her how much he loved her? If he was that winded so early into the run, I'm actually kinda surprised he didn't go into cardiac arrest or something.

C

Flight

1) It was pretty good. I'm not wild about flying, but the drinking/legal/chick thing appealed to me lol. Speaking of which, I'm on day 9 of sobriety and feeling pretty good. I get why Denzel is so content at the end of the movie lol.

2) Why is it that so many Denzel movies have these really long pauses in the middle of them with nothing going on? John Q, Man on Fire, and the hit movie HE GOT GAME were like this. I wonder if he specifically requests these long winded scenes where he just walks around to music lol.

3) I coulda gone without all those heroin injection scenes. The underside of my arms gives me the willies generally, but those scenes were intense.

4) I thought about writing a bunch of shenanigans about how the defense attorney was out to lunch but I get that those posts don't really appeal to the demographic audience of the blog lol.

5) I had some love for the movie too because it took me back to the greatest 2 weeks of my life- the ADI 2K6. There were always a bunch of airline crews that stayed at our hotel who loved to party. Hopefully nothing like this actually happened on tha airline smh.

Denzel Washington rules,

A-

Here Comes the Boom

1) I'm attempting to make some fighting debut in 2013, so this movie was kind of up my alley. I like to think that I'm not as overweight as Kevin James lol but who knows.

2) The movie was actually pretty bad. I didn't realize the whole story was just about him trying to save the music program at the school. Remember all those old "Save the Music" ads by VH1? Those were kinda goofy lol.

3) I didn't really understand why they had to change Kryzsztof Soszynski's name to that Ken guy when every other MMA person kept the same name. Well I guess they changed Bas Rutten's name too but whatev.

4) Anyone else catch the sick movie Bad Boys 2 playing in the background at that house? #yeahbuddy

Eh,

C+

Valentine's Day

1) I've referenced this movie a time or two on the blog but never gotten around to reviewing it. Actually I've tried to watch this movie several times but can just never make it all the way through it. It's that boring.

2) Obvi my A.D.D. is a pretty big impediment to me following complex movie story lines, but this one just had too many interlinks. Given that this movie doesn't take place in Salina, Kansas, I'm confused how everyone actually knows everyone in Los Angeles. It's like how Lawrence isn't that big and we still have no idea who are neighbors are. How on earth are all of these people buddy-buddy in one of the US's largest cities?

3) New Year's Eve is running ahead of this while Love Actually is lapping the ish out of it.

4) FWIW TSwift is in it which is super tight but I'd much rather see her sing.

I see why Maker treats this day like every other day lol,

Super Troopers

1) This movie has been solid for well over a decade. It's one of those movies that never has to grow on you and is just solid from the get-go. There's really not a bad scene in the movie. Well, actually, that syrup chugging scene wasn't that wild, but it reminded me of how @milhouse used to chug whole bottles of syrup so it was okay lol.

2) Likewise, there's like 23423 good quotes out of this movie. I've previously mentioned one, but there's a dozen more. "I don't want a large Farva." "I'll believe that when my shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert." "WOULD YOU MOVE THAT GIGANTIC COTTON CANDY?!"

3) It even references Friday the 13th Part 3 when they get pulled over and eat the drugs at the beginning only to have the cops (at least initially) drive by. I'm sure this wasn't a coincidental reference lol.

4) These dudes should really gii on some more movies. That movie BEER FEST was also really tight. I dunno what happened to them.

A+

Fracture

1) Obvi this movie appeals to me because of my love 4 tha law. Other movie thrillers (A Few Good Men and My Cousin Vinny) are tight like this.

2) This movie had pretty solid plot twists too. That one guy gii with the victim was pretty cray at trial. And I could never figure out what happened to the gun until the end. I did manage to figure out that double jeopardy thing tho lol.

3) Speaking of the ending, when you think about it, it’s kinda irresponsible by the DA. I mean, the first confession gets thrown out b/c that one guy is biased b/c he was gii with the girl. Then they have the DA who violates the restraining order and stalks the guy go take his second confession and leaves disinterested police officers outside. In the new trial the judge would be like SMDH, didn’t you do this last time? Why would you take the confession? You gonna testify smh?

4) That law firm girl tho. She was OTC! Aye!!

Camp Hell

1) Uhhhhhhhhh. I should've known that this would be a budge movie after seeing the 9% on rotten tomatoes beforehand. Then again, many a prior movie has gotten mediocre rankings but been a Criterion Collection worthy movie.

2) Well, not this one. "Inspired by true events?" Well what was? Some kid going to Christian camp then leaving it after figuring out that he wasn't tuning into the whole religion thing? I'm awestruck that such events have ever happened. I kept thinking that something cray would happen but it never did. I mean, I guess the devil does jump out at the priest, but I'm not sure that this movie really re-invented the wheel on that one. 

3) The dude on the movie cover from that horrible fbook movie is actually in the movie for like 15 seconds. How they managed to put his face on the cover of the movie when he just has a cameo role is beyond me.

4) And smh for that Shea girl from Buckwild not popping up in it. (Hopefully getting over that whole Shea thing before too long lol).

It was just so uneventful,

Buckwild

1) Wgbw. I know I usually don't review too many tv shows, but this one was OTC. Talk about walking into greatness.

2) As many of you hardcore blog fans already know, I obvi have love for rural country living so this show was pretty appealing to me. I'm really getting gungho about moving to rural Texas in the near future so Imma be tunin into this. I get this is in West Virginia, but whatever. Speaking of West Virginia, remember that time all those n00bs from KState got "welcome to huggieville" shirts? LOL.

3) That Shae girl >>>>>>>>>

It's like Jersey Shore only it doesn't suck lol,
