Wegra's Movie Review Collection #13

Posted by Wegra - July 29th, 2011


Wow It's been a while huh Kisame? 12+ movies here!

Stand by me Review

Another Stephen King Classic on the big screen.

It's the 1950's a group of Four 12 year old rapscallions embark on a quest to hunt a dead body. You got the fat one, the boss, the nerd, and...the weirdo of just like any old gang.

BUT it turns out they got a gang of older bullies on there tracks...Who look like they're 20 years old sheesh.

Anyway not spoiling much else but what inspired me to see this classic was the Family Guy episode "Three Kings" Which I'm happy to say is the last one in that trilogy of episodes (Shawshank, Misery, and This one)

That said this is another fine work by Stephen King that should definetly be checked out

8.5/10!

Oh and btw wasn't that Pie eating scene Disgusting yet ridiculously funny? Or was that just me?

Final Fight Review: Another video game review! And it's suitable enough for Action month too.

An awesome butt kicking classic by Capcom! It is the 1990s Mike Haggar a former Street Fighter has been elected as mayor of Metro City. A crime infested hell hole run by a notorious crime syndicate known as Mad Gear which Haggar vows to rid them of.

For which the syndicate takes imidiate action and control the mayor like their puppet.

Yeah right! The Mayor's daughter has been kidnapped so he himself is out to kick some ass along with two childhood friends Guy and Cody

Oh man this game is still a blast to this very day. You got weapons, You got awesome background music, Genderly confused hookers, Pile Driving your enimies

Co-op play and well detailed backgrounds (Like how about the Subway part)

It's also noted this was going to be Street Fighter II but was changed because this had nothing to do with it. In fact Guy and Cody were originally going to be Ryu and Ken. AND not to mention both get appearences In Street Fighter Alpha!

Not to mention I believe Haggar was the Prototype for Zangief which I think even makes mention of the two being good friends! Especially since they got him for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

That said you can find this game on Capcom Classics Collection Vol.1 for PS2 and PSP and I believe a reboot for PS3 was made not to long ago!

PERFECT 10/10!

LOTR: Two Towers:

The saga continues in this breathtaking sequel.

Ummmm not much story going on in this one...Just the same as the first one.

But that doesn't mean shit doesn't happen in fact our little Hobbit friends come across more bizzarre and unusual creatures like Treebeard

And like the last one it was an epic adventure with even more Zelda inspiration then ever before ( Er...LOTR inspiring Zelda...)

Gosh to be honest I can't think of anything else to say about this.

Lets leave it at 9/10!

Megashark Vs. Giant Octopus

A weird ass cheesey and LOW AS HELL Budget monster movie almost reminiscent of the classics like King Kong

Sotry nees no explanation. Except that it;s about FUCKING PREHISTORIC LIKE MONSTERS DO BATTTLING.

Oh and there's 1 hour of boring marine science shit

So what more can I say really it's got everything a b movie needs terrible acting and little to no screen time of the actual monsters. Which they're in the freaking title.

Only cool moment was when the Fucking shark jumped out of the sky and swallowed the plane. Dude NICE!!!

But other then that it was all talk and not monster fightinhg. The effects were cheesey but for some reason this movie had some kind of So bad it's good charm.

I'm giving it a 5.5/10

Thor Review:

Marvels latest hit is Stunning and full of action! After being exiled from Asgard due to greed and power Thor swears to find a hammer known as mjolnir and return to Asgard reunite with his comrade and stop his evil brother. I must say the God of lightnings leep to the big screen was more amazing then I thought and the 3D was incredible and very clear and crisp. Needless to say the sound is LOUD as hell. I mean damn Now the minor complaint I had was it trying modernize it fortunately it wasn't overdoneSTAN LEE CAMEO: In the scene where the crator is discovered that old guy In the truck is the man himself! Also it was noted that his appearance in Marvel vs Capcom 3 was great timing. That said 8/10!

Thunderball Review:

You didn't think I'd let action month get away with out a Bond Film did you? Of course not!

Connery returns for the fourth installment of the action packed filled Bond adventure once again! This time Bond must recover nuclear warhead from the SPECTRE orginazation.

This ones got lots of fan service for the ladies here as the majoyity of the movie takes place in underwater combat which personally I can never get enough underwater scenes. If you saw my Abyss review you know what I mean. Guess you could say I like life under the sea.

Anyway it's a typical bond movie what more could I say? Babes, Guns, Explosions diabolical villans all is needed to make another fun sequel.

7/10!

127 Hours Review:

Finally a new review! Man things have been awfully slow and lazy for me and for that I appoligize....sorta :3

Anyway 127 hours probably one of the most critically Acllaimed movies of 2010. And totally well deserving too. Why lets check it out?

Okay so first before I begin this was based off a true story and is coincidently directed by the same guy who did Slumdog.

Anyway we meet Aron Ralston portrayed by James Franco who has a love for the outdoor world especially hiking. But things take a turn for the worse as he fills between a cliff and a HUGE ass boulder is crushing his hand.

Equipped with enough food to last two days and NO cellphone he does everything he can to survive and get him out of this mess.

Wow, every second of this was chock full of Suspense I mean holy hell it even scares you too being trapped in the middle of nowhere all alone with a huge boulder jammed in between your hand. AND living to tell the tale. You really root for him all the way to the end.

Seriously this movie is amazing and full of suspense and even will have you cheering for him hoping he gets out alive. What a hero.

9/10!

Saving Private Ryan Review:

Without a doubt one of the best war films ever made nominated for 5 oscars and more then 50 awards and honors including Director Steven Spielberg and even for best sound,editing, and effects! Oh and it's got Tom fucking Hanks. Nuff said

Taking place in WWII a group of soildiers risk their lives to find and retrieve private Ryan whose brothers were killed in action. The acting is incredible and the cast reallly put on a great performences like Tom Hanks and Matt Damon.

So where does my opinion stand? I agree with all of what I said above the characters have a cold hearted feel to them but when they're together they make on hell of a team and proving war is once again a disgusting thing of human nature.

PERFECT 10/10

Bridesmaids Review:

HERE THIS SHIT OUT BEFORE I BEGIN: This is NOT a chick flick. Seriously only 10% of it is. No joke this movie is OUTRAGEOUSLY funny as hell like they say. Want proof? Two Words:

Kristin Wiig

Seriously I think they call her the woman of 1000 wigs on SNL and I LOVED her performance in this. Basically it's almost like the hangover but with a bunch of woman....That are actually kinda funny.

You got the three bitches her and a fat chick who I WISH she had more dialogue but fortunately at the end she's hysterical. Ones getting married all of them were married but she's not.

And what more is there to say about this? Funny shit happens.

Oh wait not to spoil anything but theres one scene where she fucking loses it and DESTROYS her backstabbing friends Bridal shower. Seriously Kristin Wigg mad is actually kinda sexy

Anyway that said guys fear not this movie is funny as hell for you and your woman. A little something for everyone in this and thats how movies should be.

7/10!

Oh and what the hell was up with the cops accent?

Tremors Review:

For those of you who are on Newgrounds you might remember Tom and Jeff (Johnny Utah) collaberating in the Kevin Bacon day Aprikl Fools Prank of '10. So with that said I searched for this movie to see why they chose to make this game.

Well lets see you got Kevin Bacon Fred Ward and others in a town in the middle of nowhere that gets taken over by those giant ass worms from the Wind Waker popping out of the ground without warning and devouring people. So obviously this calls for drastic measures....BLAST THE FUCKER SWITH BULLETS! Though it's mostly just them hiding from them in tall buildings what made me like this film was that game on Newgrounds. Not to mention Kevin Bacons goty some cool one liners like "CAN YOU BASTARDS FLY?"

So yeah it was pretty sweet with a cast of misfits overall give this movie a shot it's on Netflix (sorta) :D

7.5/10!

Lost Boys Review:

Ah, remember the good ol days when vampires used to be cool? I sure do...You know before Twishit took over and pissed on the Vampire name.

It's 1987 and two brothers Michael and Sam (Played by Jason Patric and the late Corey Haim) move to a new town in sunny California . And if you lived in the 80's that would blow ass for you at that age.

And rightly so the place is runned by Vampires and Biker Gangs! Oh shit! And the mother has fallen in love with a man who's one OH DOUBLE SHIT

So the two find two vampire hunters and kill them!

Well I must say I enjoyed this despite not being a die hard fan of Vampires. The characters are chill and the vampires are scary and evil just like momma used to make em! Also that chilling theme "Thou shal not fall" Or whatever they were saying

That said it's a must see for vampire fans!

7.5/10!

Resovoir Dogs:

Damn is it just me or did this hour and a half + movie fly by fast? Never the less it kicked ass

Directed by the same man who did Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill you know this movies going to be one hell of a beatdown bloodfest!

A group of criminals that are part of a crime syndicate rob a jewlery store but they grow suspicious and think one of them is connected to the police and things get batshit crazy.

The characters are blood thristy and psychotic and figure out whos tied to the popo

It's a bit hard to understand and explain the plot so I suggest you watch it a few times over in some scenes.

Overall, it's a great movie with pointless violence and bloodshed

8/10!

FLCL REVIEW:

WTF Month kicks off with one of the most trippiest and Fucked up animes to exist!

So...How do I explain the plot? I honestly don't know I watched All six episodes and I still have no idea what's going on here but I'll try to explain it the best I can.

Some random kid 12 year old kid named Naota Nandaba has some kinda puberty thing going and one day this crazy bitch with pink hair on a motorcyle hits him with a Guitar and a Giant computer robot comes out of his forehead....I am not making any of this up folks a Giant robot climbs out of a 12 year-old boys forehead. And it turns out she's living with his whacko family and has some kinda love interest thing with her and the military....Fuck it I can't explain the plot if you got Netflix check it out for yourself

Aside from all of this it's an epic acid trip like none other. Weird animation style changes, the facial expressions are priceless and it's fun to watch over and over again trying to make sense out of it...which no one can.

That said if you're a fan of anime this is a must see in any dub Japanese or English

8/10
