The movie

About the Movie: The sequel to Starship Troopers, go figure huh?

Trailer:


Review:
Basically the only reason you should watch this movie is if you absolutely loved the first movie and just couldn't get enough giant creepy bugs or wanted to see Kelly Carlson naked, b/c that's all it offered. Stupid movie, weird story, not as good special effects, bad acting.

HigherDef Rating: and that's just for Ms. kelly

Super High Me

About the Movie: A pot head comedian's take on the "Super-Size Me" movie. Basically instead of eating McD's for 30 straight days, he'd get high and smoke for 30 straight days and see how it affects his life.

Review:
Very much a pro pot movie. I've never personally had a problem with pot. I honestly would rather pot be legalized and regular, cancer, cigarettes become illegal. I still wouldn't do either but I'm digressing from the point of this HDR, a movie review. So basically Doug Benson from comic fame and Best week Ever, decided to smoke up pretty much non-stop for a month and then test himself using different methods to see how it affected him. Anyway, it was pretty startling the results from it. However, I don't think that most people would have the same results. And one test I think he left out on purpose was the affect on his bank account and living conditions were. Then again if you are smoking at all you aren't exactly giving a shit about your conditions of life so I guess it's not important.

Australia

About the Movie:
Native Aussies, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, star in this cattle driving independence day of Australia. I think, basically what happened is that a bunch of white people came in and tried to corrupt all of the cows and people of Australia before the natives can stop them, stupid white people. And then, Hugh and Nicole come in and save the day thanks to some local aboriginals who walk around naked and scare everyone off. Sounds interesting right? No wonder it bombed!

Review:
It's better than it looks or people made it out to be... but it really is about a couple of people trying to run cattle across the country. It probably could have been 30 minutes shorter or been chocked full of explosions or have a big orgy scene or something (jk about the orgy) but it just seemed to be missing something. Interesting but not really extra awesome like you'd except from an "Look how our country became great" type of movie.

Atonement

About the Movie: Two kids fall in love, one is super rich one is super trying to be rich. Some bad things happen and then everything goes crazy. Watch the trailer or read more about it online but it's messed up.

Review:
Really freaking great movie. Great story. Great acting. Great ending. Just a fantastic movie. I definitely thought this movie was fantastic. You should really see this movie. That's all that needs to be said.

Step Up 2, The Streets

About the Movie:
Dancing fools take it to the streets to battle it out for respect and something else i guess... you know how dangerous those dancers can be with their battles.

Website: http://www.myspace.com/stepupmovie

Trailer:


Review:
So, there are these crazy street dancing people who run around pulling dance pranks all around the city and the police and anti-dance people hate them but their videos are all over the internet getting millions and billions of views an hour or minute or something. So anyway, this one chick who is like super awesome, and hot, gets to go be a legit dancer at a dance school and her crew sells her out b/c of it. Anyway, dance girls are hot. That's pretty much the point of the movie I got out of it anyway. I can't tell you much about the dancing b/c I'm no expert but at least the girls were hot and the music was pretty decent to listen too... needed more rock music and less guys dancing though.

Witless Protection

About the Movie: Larry the Cable guy movie. Nuff said.

Website: http://www.witlessprotectionmovie.com/theatrical.html

Trailer:


Review:
What do you expect from Larry the Cable guy? Not much right? Well, that's what you get too. Lots of really lame analogy jokes and one-liners but some were pretty good. I chuckled a handful of times and was decently entertained for the most part. He's got the fat, redneck, dumbass role down pat! If you liked anything else he's done you'll like this too, if you absolutely can't stand the guy, then don't watch this movie.

Sex and Death 101

About the Movie:
A guy is about to get married and then all of a sudden the stars un-align and he gets this list of all the girls he's slept with or girls he's soon to sleep with... and his fiance isn't hte last name on the list... by a long shot. So his life is flipped upside down for a good while until he can get things figured out.

Trailer:


Review:
Decent movie. A lot of sex and not a whole lot of laughing but it wasn't terrible. The main character was a douche in this role but at least the fat girl from the facts of life had a small role as the secretary. Winona Ryder was looking hot in her dark role if anything. Stupid, forgettable movie overall.

The day the earth stood still

About the Movie:

Website: Keanu Reeves is like a mundane monotone alien, and he's also acting in this movie! hardy har har, I trip myself out sometimes. Anyway, he's like an alien possessed guy and he is here to help destroy the earth or something like that. http://www.thedaytheearthstoodstillmovie.com/

Trailer:


Review:
Interesting movie and story. Similar to the original but def more creative with effects and technology. The acting was pretty lame though but for the most part I was entertained. I thought the overall feel of the movie was pretty decent but not overly great or impressive. I remember seeing most of the interesting shots in the trailers and so that was pretty lame. Anyway, not Canoe's best work that's for sure.

The Life Before Her Eyes

About the Movie: Watch the trailer...

Review:
Sad movie. Depressing to think about stuff like this but it's a good movie. I liked it even though I kind of figured out the ending before it was over. I try not to think too much in movies so that I don't spoil it for myself but I did. Still a good movie and Uma Thurman is still looking hot for her age as well as the younger girls in the movie. All cuties.

Yes Man!

About the Movie: Jim Carey plays a guy named Karl who is super depressed and says "no" to just about everything in his life. Until one day that all changed!

Review:
Jim Carey was back on top to me in this movie. He's kind of been off the mark with his last few movies but this one was vintage awesome! Lots of laughs for me and a good movie. I loved the british bank manager too. Great movie to me. If you like Jim Carey you'll love this movie. If you hate Jim Carey, then you should really get help. haha

Bedtime Stories

About the Movie: Adam Sandler has discovered that his life is under control by the stories he tells to his niece and nephew but they are the ones making them up as they go. Kid's movie with a sappy twist.

Website: http://adisney.go.com/disneyvideos/liveaction/bedtimestories/

Trailer:


Review: Adam Sandler is still pretty funny. Now that he's not being a crude he actually is doing a better job at being funny. This was a pretty decent movie though cheesy. There were parts that were really clever and fun and others that were really silly, but then again it is a childrens movie so it balanced out. Pretty decent flick for the most part. A good date movie.

Sorry for the super long delay between movie reviews but I've been writin' a book! So, 374 pages and almost 178,000 words later, I'm back to some reviews! Woo!

Monsters vs Aliens

About the Movie: There's some monsters and guess what, they are fighting some aliens. Animated movie

Review:
There's another thing about this movie that I didn't mention, I saw it in 3D!! woo! Well, that was cool but the glasses started to hurt my face after about 3/4 the way through. I don't wear glasses (b/c I'm awesome) and so that was a little annoying. The movie was good though. Not great or "call everyone in your phone good", but pretty decent. I had a lot of laughs and the effects were pretty good for my first 3D movie since one back in the early 80s with Michael Jackson in it down in Epcot/Disney world Florida.

Well, it's a book but it's not quite a "book for real" just yet.

I finished a 374 epic novel about a guy named "Jake" who is struggling to find himself. Of course, I'm using the word "epic" loosely haha.

No more details to share at this time but I'm going through the process of letting people read it for opinions right now and getting it edited gradually.

I should be back to posting HDRs very soon (as early as tonight actually)

Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer for me!
Shoeless

sorry everyone. Just been busy writing a book and all...

i'm on page 316 though :-)

I should be back to blogging soon

I've just been super busy with stuff and writing a ton lately. I apologize for the lack of reviews and blogs over the past week or so but more are coming soon!

I have about 20 movies I need to get reviewed in the next month or so so be waiting :-)
