16 Jan 09 Hustle and Flow
I had a pile of oldy dvd’s racked up to watch and as usual i judged the book by the cover, 3 words “what a twat” after leaving this one till last i am even more convinced the cover doesn’t mean shite.
Hustle and flow a drama to start but hey I will give anything a go, at first i thought what a load of bollocks, but as open minded as i am, I thought to myself give it the chance it deserves; anyway i did and it was the best thing i did that week, it starts out a bit slow but works its way up to a story, thank baby jebus.
anyways, a classic 2005 flick about a chap who busts bugger all and his biartches do all the work (you got it he’s a PIMP) working his women and reaping a penny a handjob, not a career choice to take you too far, but for this character it pays 90% of the bills so he sticks with it, yadda yadda yadda so onward this chap decides he wants to make music in this case RAP.
yeah not my first choice but good, there is a story on every street, but the storyline unfolds and much like a persuit of happiness story, this chap busts for the first time his head, brains and every other asset he has to make a hit, it goes off; after all the hardships and pain steaking agony of no budget, no props and bugger all of anything it makes for a good story, however the ending is not the fairytale we would all expect, give it a wurl this was a good film a bit slow but well worth the watch.
Get into it.

16 Jan 09 Revolver
Oh what a crackpot head spin this flick was, the bloke from the transporter films, forget his name now, farkin useless i am remembering names these days, Anyways he’s a top actor, he’s got game
Its all about the con, well how to con a con who cons a con. (mind fucked yet !) without giving anything away.
Shite I don’t really know how to tackle this one, at most points of this film i had no idea where the bloody hell i was, it was a tough note to shift, full of mind deranging twists and turns and roundabouts it just had me in a weird mood i didnt know whether to laugh, cry or shit myself; it really took its toll on the old brain hemisphere left right out !
Well if you like to have a headache after a good old right off of a storyline and grandad is starting to bore the tits off you, have a crack at this one, it will blow your nipples off and confuse tha balls off a rhino.
Saying all that I did enjoy sitting down and challenging my brain in a way it has never been challenged before, check it out see if you feel it.

16 Jan 09 Wanted
This was much more than just a cheap date, what at first seemed to be a next “disaster movie” had me pinching the armrest of the lazyboy armchair. what a frickin rush, not too mention the hot to handle appearance by no other than the stunning angelina, who appears to have an eating disorder during the hot and steamy bath scene.
Give a hot chick a gun and you get action packed, pimp sweating, adrenalin pumping, hard core bullets glazing, heavy metal, heart wrenching killer instinct ACTION BABY. The shoot up scenes in this bad boy are a CGI dream come true, what seems to be another NEO ‘VS’ the matrix style storyline ends up with some sustenance, Boys and girls get on yah rockers, pop a cap off the old brewsky and kick back, (turn this shit up load) it boasts a buffet of both audio and visual effects that will take the wrinkles out of your forehead.
Anyways despite the reviews by others I generally rocked out with this film, It had a little something called in depth originality, with all its efforts to be just another matrix wanna be’s, I had a kick ass time watching this it had a bit of everything for everyone. If you get the time put this bad boy or girl to rest and plonk yourself in front of the telle. ROCK ON !

13 Dec 08 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Well I have to say, I have had some interest in Jesse James for some time and tried as beest as possible to draw the good from the bad, but i have to say this was good from afar, but far from good. Like i always do; i gave this one the glory of seeing it through to the end, but was definately mind fucked right the way through.
I was somewhat drawn to the characters they were fairly straight up the storyline was something to be said for, not all of what i saw in this film i have belief in, but who the bugger really knows the truth aye.
I mean lets be honest Brad Pitt as Jesse, wouldnt have been my first choice, Jesse was not a farkin pretty boy, that is very clear. but hey he did do an ok job.
Well this should be one for the boredom of a sunday avo if you have a few hours to spare and nothing better to watch, but it is pretty interesting, dont follow the facts this version is just a fairytale on screeen.

09 Dec 08 Crash
Crash, was a riot of plots and intertwined twists, never have i come across such freak of the silver screen, hooraa to the writers, this would have had your pens in game of hide and go seek.
What starts as a simple and mindless beginning to what seems to be a family flick of cops and robbers ends up being racial battle and a gangland fueled mindtrip for only those who are worthy.
I had a brilliant time watching this one, i didn’t even need the popcorn, there was plenty of brain food and it didn’t stop coming, if you got a pinch in your nerve for a movie you can’t take your eyes off this will surprise you and excite you.
05 Dec 08 Quantum of Solace
Went to the silver screen for this one, and thank the baby jebus himself i was def in one ear due to a middle ear infection, IT WAS VERY LOUD. which to say the least; was awesome.
if your a 007 fan this is a must see, action action action, they must have had to shoot some of the scenes in this film 100’s of times just to get close to anything usable. Quantum of Solace is by far a better direction for Bond movies, putting the stealth and Casanova back into the routine, long gone have the cheesy days of Pearce Brosnan 007 impressions. (no offence pearce).
well super hot babes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, bombs, guns and FIRE, make up the dna of the storyline anything in between is just bonus.
All the key actors following through in Quantum, so familiarity is prent, only a few newbies, with the exception of the hotties, standard issue refresh there.
Well if you have seen it, post you comments, if not; get your behind to the big screen and get on with it.

23 Nov 08 Detonator
Guns, bombs and bitches, a Wesley Snipes classic who would have thought a snipes film could have such a shit storyline, not to mention the small budget effects, i was pretty disappointed with this one, thank baby jebus, i set off on this flick right before went to sleep.
Well theest part of this film is the female actress who plays a helpless wife to the toughest gun runner in America, well maybe just the state the movie is set, anyways, When she hit the screen all could do was wait in anticipation in the hope her rack would find its way in front of the camera, .. Didn’t happen, the directors must have thrown her in at the last minute to keep you from walking out of the movie, i sure as hellwould have had she not played the gun runners hottie.
Oh well besides the criticism, as i do i gave it chance and watched it till the end

15 Nov 08 Hitman
Assasins, guns, blood, kung foo moves and action, action, action…
If you have had a crackk at the game this will paint a bit more than a picture, this is pretty special, they keep this one pretty short and sweet, and the soft porn takes sidestep (don’t blink) or you will miss it.
not too much to post back here, it’s definately a watcher, but there is not a lot to report other than guns.
Hooraaa.
15 Nov 08 Miami Vice
If you’re in the mood for a bit of cops and robbers, in this case drug runners and pokey kingpins, Vice has the ice, this was a pretty stunning action thriller with much to be said about the soft porn, to be honest there was just not enough of the stuff, but the guns….
Bullets a plenty, the shootout scene’s were a bit played down in my opinion, but the armour piercing rounds and the dolby digital audio effects took the word moist to a whole new level.
An old school bad boys appeal, but a vivid look at miami and the back scenes of palm beached druglords, woke up to this, couldn’t be bothered gettin up. took a long time to get to breakfast but it was all worth it.

15 Nov 08 Sahara
A classic treasure hunters epic tale of adventure and fumbles, this desert drenched national book of secrets look-a-like is much to be fantisised over, starring penelope cruize, (and looking hot in short shorts). flick is a pretty solid watch, bit of history to start and a long over trimmed journey of a group of treasure hunting misfits who seem to like getting into trouble.
Sahara is nothing to nat on about but i did enjoy the diversity of the storyline, and the guns, the more the merrier i say. have a crack, feel the noise. OUT !
