666 reasons to love Hell Ride

Image
I'd like to preface this review by saying that one of my all time favorite movies is Easy Rider. Also, I'm a sucker for any bike movie in general. This movie is about to rival biker gangs warring with each other to track down a lost treasure from 1976.  Without further ado I give you my review of Hell Ride. HELL RIDE!!! 666. Rock n' Roll - This movie's soundtrack is perfection. From ans awesome motor cycle riding montage set to C.C. Rider.  This movie is wall to wall sound like a spaghetti western. It is complex and clever with it's musical choices. Especially in a scene in the film where our Biker hero Pistolero trips on Peyote to think. The music really fills the music up and makes the conflict feel epic. 665. Weaponry - Everyone is armed to the teeth and everyone has their own unique signature weapon. Pistolero has his pistol. The gent has his Revolver. Comanche has his revolver, cross bow, and scalping knife. Eddie Zero has a whole armory in his side car. Billy ...

Batman Beyond- The Casting Couch

Image
Found this great bit on casting the rest of batman filmverse on  movie moron and incontention and I'd like to join the casting couch and pick my Bat-rogues. Steve Buscemi as The Riddler - Buscemi would be the perfect voice for the Riddler's riddles and I'm sure he can make him menacing. Also his build and look are perfect. The Riddler shouldn't be Johnny Depp pretty. Alan Arkin as Mr. Freeze - Put him in a big steam punk looking suit and play him as a discovered freak. Play up the fact that he's immortal and stay way from ice puns and this would be cool(couldn't resist).  Monica Bellucci as Talia Al Ghul - She looks nothing like Liam Neeson but she's hot and can act I think that's all Talia needs.  Javier Bardem as Bane - He's big and has a spanish accent and could act your face off. He could really have fun here. Make him a crime boss and put him in a luchador mask, maybe muscle him up with cgi. Another good choice would be Danny Trejo.  Al Pacino...

BOOSTER GOLD #11 - This cover is beautiful. I'd hang this up on my wall like a piece of fine art.  ACTION COMICS #868 - Geoff Johns owns this. I'd love to see his take on Metallo my favorite supes villain.  LONE RANGER #12 - Great book. Read it.  BATMAN #679 RIP - Still confused but I'm interested.  FINAL CRISIS REVELATIONS #1(OF 5) - I might drop this if its not revealing enough.  SECRET INVASION #5(OF 7) - This book sucks.  GREEN ARROW BLACK CANARY #11 - The art by Cliff is a joy.

HELL BOY THE CROOKED MAN #2(OF 3) - This is a pretty cool Hellboy story, it seems like he's going to meet the devil.  GREEN LANTERN CORPS #27 - Love this cover and not for the Green Lantern bulges. .  TINY TITANS #7 - I wish this book was just like a weekly back up in the regular Teen Titans book.  LAST DEFENDERS #6 (OF 6) - I already bought the first 5 last one ain't...

6 reasons to HATE Pineapple Express

Image
Pineapple Express did not deliver for me. I was very hyped for this move. I loved Superbad and I am a big Apatow fan. I thought this movie was going to blow Step Brothers away but it didn't at all. The wierd thing is that i hated this move and Ebert liked it , and I loved Step Brothers and Ebert ripped it .  PINEAPPLE EXPRESS!!! 6. Poor Plotting - A film that mixes genres successfully is From Dusk Till Dawn the first half is action the second horror. The style changes halfway through and there's never any foreshadowing or tease that the characters can expect to run into vampires it just happens. Like it would in real life. This film doesn't do that. Going from stoner comedy to buddy action isn't smooth at all. They just begin flailing about punching and shooting each other out of nowhere. The action or tension never rises. In action movies things usually escalate in this movie things only fizzle out. 5.  4o minutes too long -The film is 15 minutes too long but it fee...

6 lines to LOVE Step Brothers for

Image
Step Brothers!!! Since it's hard to dissect a comedy with out giving up the best jokes. I'm going to highly recommend this film. I thought it was hilarious. It's dirty as hell, the musical choices are perfect, the setting is unique, the characterizations are very innocent and extremely creative.  The trailer which i thought was hilarious actually doesn't give the funniest parts of the movie like most comedies do.  Instead of listing performances or themes, I am going to give the top 6 lines from the movie in no particular order. 6. "I want to roll you into a little ball and stick you in my vagina. Where you can live..." 5. "I smoked pot with Johnny Hopkins." 4.  "Eat shit Derek!" 3. "Boats n' hoes"   2. "Call me Dragon" "Call me Night Hawk" 1. "You and your mom are a bunch of hillbillies. This is a house of learned doctors."

moment of weakness

Image
Decide to make moment of weakness it's own thing so from now on expect it on fridays.  This week is all about a possible Goonies 2 and Lost Boys 3 . Still haven't seen Lost Boys 2 so I'm on the fence till I see it. However, Goonies 2 is what i want almost as much as Ghostbusters 3. This photo should give hope everyone still appears to be pretty good looking for the camera.   I would like to see hollywood really reat this sequel like Indiana Jones and accept the passage of time. The modern day goonies should be just as fun and edgy as the original. A hard pg-13. The Goonies is one of the best films of the 80's mixing fantasy and the feeling of really being a young teen.  Any fellow Goonies fans out there? Or as a Goonie would say "Hey you guys!"

AVENGERS MOVIE

What if the upcoming Avengers movie was based on this. Would that be good or bad?

6 reason to LOVE The Dark Knight

Image
THE DARK KNIGHT 6. MAYOR BAT-MANUEL - Nestor Carbonell of Cane, Lost, and The Tick(live action tv series). Has a small part as the Mayor of Gotham. Why should anyone care? He helped lampoon the elements of the Batman mythos ad the one and only   Batmanuel . This inside joke is almost worth the price of admission. Nestor is also a terrific actor and a fellow cuban-american like myself so I'm a big fan of the guy and I hope this flick gets him more film work.  5. BATMAN UNIVERSE - The universe truly is Batman's. The same way the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man realy seel the Marvel Universe. This film sells the Batman Universe and Gotham city. It makes the city a real world place and treats its characters like real people. Gotham is busy and complex. The fact that Batman first faces of against the Scarecrow makes the city feel busy and it helps you believe that a Batman villain is hiding behind every alley.  4. THEMES - The Dark Knight plays expands upon the themes of the last film....
