Sherlock Holmes

Let me start off first by saying, very well produced movie. You can see the Guy Ritchie in it. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law do a great job.

I do have two problems with the flick. First of all, all the hype. I held off watching this movie due to all the hype. Second, I was once a avid Sherlock Holmes reader, and I can tell you he was never this much of an ass-kicker. Roberty Downey Jr.’s character is fucking rambo, really ? See this is a hollywood blockbuster movie, cinematics, hype, action, typical makings for a revenue machine. This formula works for economics but not necessarily to make a timeless good flick.

Is it worth watching ? Of course, I am however going to go against the grain on the ratings and put it down to around a 6.8/10, but I doubt you would be disappointed.

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day

Despite hearing negative reviews, I went ahead and checked it out for myself. I don’t know what people were complaining about, sure the movie was a little more matrix-shoot-em-up then the first one, but it was good!

Good ol’ fashioned bang bang action-comedy-drama. If you liked the origional Boondock Saints, you’ll be safe with this one.

I’m giving it 7/10.

It’s Complicated

Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin. Not a bad cast really, they all played pretty good roles. Alec Baldwin’s character pretty much reminded me of his character from 30 rock. I don’t really have much to say about this one, it was entertaining. If you are into a Comedy/Romance, then this will fit the bill.

6.5/10.

Wow, I’m almost at a loss for words on this one. This movie sure enough has IFC all over it. The only recognizable person was Janice Dickinson… wha? Since when does she act ? Yeah.. she doesn’t, and her role made that clear. She had a small role anyway.

So going into this movie I expected some sort of Lords of Dogtown knockoff, but it wasn’t that. In fact, there is no plot… just a bunch of teenage latino kids in the ghetto living a day, which might I add is a pretty ridiculous day.

If you have anything else more remotely interesting, watch that first. I’m going with a 4/10.

I applaud these guys for putting this compilation together with both examples of uncut and cut tracks. Do yourself a favor and go one by one and listen to all 100 tracks.

These are simply brilliant. I need to get them printed to real posters.

8 bit dark side of the moon

I’m pretty much a sucker for anything 8 bit/nintendoish-style. This guy moon8 has gone and did the album dark side of the moon by Pink Floyd in a nes tracker so it sounds like it’s on a nintendo. Anyway there on youtube and his personal site. You should check it out. Well done moon8.

Brooklyn’s Finest

Richard Gere not in his usual suck role, Don ‘the man’ Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes (where you been hiding Nino Brown?), and a very short part by Vincent D’Onofrio. First off I wish Vincet had a little larger role, I like that guy. This movie was interesting, I always say sometimes the movie doesn’t need a happy ending and this is one of those times they deliver!

I thought at first Richard Gere was gunna suck, his movies are always shown on like WE channel, but he played the part well. Cheadle is the man, he is always doing his thang. Ethan Hawke did a good job representing his character’s frustration. Wesley Snipes didn’t do much, it wasn’t a cameo, he just didn’t do much.

This movie was good. Very deep meanings, almost sad, action packed and long as hell, 132 minutes ? Yikes. It coulda been a little shorter. The movie was very predictable which I didn’t like and nothing was really ‘new’. It was directed well, but this story has been shown 100 times. This is definitely a NetFlixxer. It’s worth watching but don’t waste your cash at the theater. I’m going with 6.9/10.
