dukes of hazard : unrated

The one and only reason i had any interest in seeing this is this movie, two words Jay Chandreskhar. I love broken lizard they are fucking hillarious and Jay doesn't dissapoint in this one. Seriously. It has his fingerprints all over it, and that makes it funny. When they show up as the campus cops it was great. And farve as the crazy guy who "cuts bait and blows shit up" but as i was watching this movie i realized that jay did a really good job directing this movie. It's really above par. Now would i have liked him to make an original movie that was much funnier, yes, will he be able to do that now that he directed this one for the studio? yep. so everyones a winner. more or less. Now don't get me wrong, im not saying this is the best movie ever or anything, or that i would even buy it, but it is entertaining. a good popcorn movie.

The first broken lizard is awesome. Some people don't like, but they sir are assholes. It is funny as hell and shows how good they were when they first started out. "garbage dick" and "no book bag" lines are fucking hillarious. I really liked this movie and am disapointed in mysef as a movie dork, broken lizard rule!

I mean the plot isn't that good, but who expects it to be. Is it funny? yes, is it fun? yes! did i laugh out loud? yes!

Underworld: Extended Cut Limited Editon

I have been thinking about buying this movie for a while but its always expensive. I found it at costco the other day for under 15 bucks so i decided to buy it. Its pretty good. Its not great but sometimes you just want to see a shootemup movies with super hot chicks in leather for over two hours. and the vampires vs werewolves thing is pretty cool too. I like the new tech and mythology they put forward too. These all add up to make a good fun movie, and i'm looking forwrd to seeing the new one on thursday with jeremy.

DVDAF v 2.0

Sweet! DVD aficionado has been working on updating its site for quite a while, it's far from complete, but you can check it out and see what's shaking in my links section under my movies 2.0. its pretty kick ass to me but then again im a dork and these are my movies.

i like the consumerist

because of quotes like this...

"The entire campaign is a bit like pulling your genitals out on the first date and having your date tell you that yes, she’ll put her mouth on it, but she’d sure appreciate it if you washed it first, but don’t get her wrong, she’ll pay you fifty dollars for the honor of doing it anyway."

club Dread

I loved super troopers. It is freakin hillarious. So when i heard the guys were making a new movie i was happy. when i heard that it was a spoof of horror movies i was even happier. Then i went and saw it. at first i didn't think that it was nearly as good as super troopers but after having seen it a couple times i think that it is as good as super troopers. it is funny as hell.

Canucks 4 Divealanche 3

Oh yeah, we won after melting down in the third. Canucks fucking beat the divealanche. What is up with my team? I am so frustrated, the top line can't produce, thank god for the sedins and carter. defense is muddled at best, they put on good effort for about one and a half periods, i'm almost shocked to say it but i would trade bertuzzi. seriously, for a either a couple solid defensemen, or another scorer, or something, he might just be in a slump or something but for fucks sake, do something.

Heavy Traffic

i have owned this movie for years. I never really watched it. It was quite good. Ralph bakshi really pumped out the movies in the seventies. Which is pretty impressive considering the were all animated and he used all americans making the films. I would be hard pressed to see someone do that these days. Granted he probably payed them in fucking paper and ink, but still. Its cool to see that these movies even exist. They deal with real people problems of the time and era. The make adult cartoons these days too, but that just means pron

Don't get me wrong i like pron as much as the next guy, and bakshi has his share of tits and stuff in his movies, but they are not pruriently presented. What this movie does deal with is a young man coming out of his shell, dealing with racism, spoiler*** he dies because of it, and labor disputes. All of this comes together to make a fairly interesting movie. Not to mention the old bakshi way of splicing real film, animation and music together to make an intersting tapestry. Seeing cartoon characters drive a car with real NY background is pretty cool. and to see the actors that they based the characters at the end of the movie, sort of pantomime an ending was both satisfing and leaves you wanting more. Also seeing the dirty NY of the seventies was pretty cool. It really was the naked city still back then.

this was a good movie, not for kids but for disolusioned people about my age. bakshi was way ahead of his time.

Chronicles of Narnia: L,W, the W

This movie was good. It wasn't great but i enjoyed it quite a bit and am looking forward to the next installment. Since i hadn't read the book sincei was a little kid, i wasn't all nit picky about it and therefore enjoyed it much more than say lord ot the rings. But it wasn't nearly as cool as LOTR. It was kinda milquetoast. Until the end when all the kids in the audience started to cry, and i started to wonder to myself who the fuck is in charge here? Is this a kids movie or braveheart? The battle scenes were cool, but they were no LOTR. That seems to be everyones complaint with the movie. CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien were peers and they did talk alot about the books each other wrote, so you can see some similarities, but Narnia is made for children and adults like myself looking for second helpings of LOTR are pretty much dissapointed like when you put too much water in the OJ. and it tastes ok but it could have been better. But in this case i think its the source material speaking to kids, which is fine make it a kids movie, but leave the freaking braveheart battle scenes out of it.

and ok, if you are going to make a movie with all unknowns. fine, good for you, no problem with that, but when you make all the people and all the vioces newcomers then throw liam nesson as the vioce of Aslan, its kindof distracting.

over all i liked it, enjoyed myself.

New Feature

I got XM radio for myself for xmas. When you get this you get to listen to it online for free, which is cool. So some people have made third party front end for it, which is even cooler, and it has a tracker, so i can post what im listening to. So under the links section is now a what im listening to link. hmm. if im not listening to anything it says so, and if i am you can refresh the page (F5) and see what's next. anyway thought i might point that out to my devoted reader(s) ;)

I tried it on everypost but it looked stupid because it shows whats playing now, so having that on every link was dumb.

see look ill do it on this one, and everytime you come back itll have what im listening too now.

so let me know what you think of it?

i also put it at the bottom of the blog. I like it there because you can read the whole thing, but it isn't very convienient im gonna try to put it at the top.

ok so i put it at the top and it's the best so far out of all of them, and i think ill take the others off.

yeah

what no movies?

i have been watching mainly TV shows lately heres what,

Trailer park boys,

Holy shit this is seriously the best TV show ever. I can't get enough of it. I bought seasons 3 and 4 and the xmas special when i was in canada cuz you can't buy it in the states, but you can get it on netflix, if you have netflix rent this show immediately seriously it is sooo damn funny you'll never look at a trailer park the same again.


Dark Shadow,

This show isn't nearly as cool as i remeber it, im glad i rented it. It still has some charm but nothing like what i remember.

Degrassi Jr. High

I was one of the kids that never watched this growing up so i wanted to see what its all aobut, and i can see that when it came out it was probably awesome and mind blowing to the kids watching it, but now its kinda tame and the kids are irrating, and why is wheels called wheels? he's not in a wheel chair...

my what a busy week.

So i had a super busy week with work but i got a lot done. Got corvallis up to our hardware standard. been on the phones since thursday. Got many small things done on thursday and friday. This seems to be the most satisfing thing. now im kinda chained to home because of the phones but im thinking about seeing a movie later, probably munich but i want to see narnia i still havn't, and kong too. sheesh. im letting my self down.

Mulder to be next Banner?

whoa dude, this could be the best/worst new in a while.

thanks

youngblood

When i put this in i was ready for the worst. Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze are hockey players in the minors. Lowe is kinda a gretzky, lafluer-ish player fast as hell but not a fighter. He needs to get into the juniors to persue his dream of a NHL career. So he tries out and gets on the team and has some hijinxs a goon takes out swayze the team captian during the memorial cup finals. Lowe leaves and trains to fight in a week, with his brother back on the farm, then comes back scores a bunch and beats up the guy that hurt his friend. It is incredibly dated but still a decent story, it glosses over some of the background stuff and the acting seems really forced, but it's not the acting, you believe in the characters its the writing. It seems like they took a stock script and just dropped in hockey, but the hockey stuff is good the rest is kinda crappy. anyway its decent but not great.

Les Boys

So i read about this right before i went on vacation, i put it on my netflix, i saw it in BC for like 39.99 at some quebecios bookstore and didn't buy it. I am glad that i didn't because its not that great. its ok, but not that great, who would bet thier bar over a hockey game with a beer league team? so silly. but it was fun to see the sterotypes and fun of hockey. This movie was released on the same day at titanic and beat it in the box office in atlantic canada. Why? because its about atlantic canada. i can understand that. i'm sure glad that i didn't spend 40 buck on it. The basic story is this dude who coaches the team owns a pub, he looses a bunch of money in a card game and the gangster guy to whom he owes the money says double or nothing but over a hockey game with his team "Les boys" So of course the gangster puts together a bunch of goons and the scrapy team les boys has to put it all together to win. Its not a bad movie, but its not great either, i don't really care about 2 and 3, i am curious to see them put it isn't a must.
