I went out to see Wanted on Wednesday fully expecting an unrealistic action flick that is a good escape for a while, and boy did it deliver. Wanted is about a young man about our age who finds out that he is the son of the greatest assassin in the world and is now being recruited to join The Fraternity, a group of assassins. After much persuasion he decides to join and has to go through rigorous training before he is allowed to kill. They teach him many different skills such as curving the bullets and being able to pick other bullets out of the sky by shooting them down. He eventually gets to kill people and the movie progresses from there when he tries to kill the man who killed his father. Of course there are twists and such, which i wont reveal for obvious reasons. Overall the movie was very well made with good action sequences and stylized fight scenes. In the end though the movie makers overused some of the coolest action parts way to fucking much. Almost every bullet shot was either curved or shot out of the sky by another bullet. I mean comon give us something else. Its a rather graphic movie with some really awesome death scenes, it also has its fair share of comedy, when the comedy does actually show up its well placed and got many laughs from the audience. It was cast very well, but they left some huge plot points open, for example they introduce a character and then explain nothing about him, as well the Loom of Fate which tells the assassins which targets to kill works in binary code, but the monks who started The Fraternity started it 1000 years ago. Monks knowing binary? I think not.
Overall rating 7.5/10 for overuse of action scenes as well as unexplained points.

Trigun
Ok this is for all you Trigun fans out there. With the new announcement of the live action Dragonball movie I was thinking who would be good to play parts in a live action Trigun movie, so far I have Edward Nortan as the preacher. Discussion and ideas please, the actor who plays Vash needs to be very widely talented as he needs to go from goofy to dead serious in a second and also be psyhcotic as he will be playing Knives as well. Go at it.

Kung Fu Panda
Went to see Kung Fu Panda today with my little brother, I was expecting it to be a lame kids movie but I really enjoyed it. At the beginning we see Po, played by Jack Black, wake up and meet his father who is clearly not his father as they are of different species. Through a series of events Po gets chosen as The Dragon Warrior and the one to defeat the newly escaped from jail Tai Lung. There is alot of physical comedy as Po attempts to train and become strong enough to defeat Tai Lung. The movie overall felt really short but was almost 2 hours in length. I suppose a good trait of a movie is that its able to keep you entertained so that you dont realize how much time has past. In the end Jack Black throws some classic Tencaious D in the mix by uttering the word, Skadoosh, which of course is nonsense but he mangaes to put that into every song anyways. For hardcore Tencaious D fans, see if you can figure out which character was played by JB's good buddy KG. Hint: its not a leading role, at all.
Overall score: 8/10

Not a movie
So today im not reviewing a movie but ranting about something that really pisses me off and I cant take it anymore. Why is that when people unlock their cars using the remote unlock they find it necessary to push the unlock button like 500 times? Usually it takes two pushes, once to unlock the front door and another ot unlock the rest of the doors. When you keep pushing the thing the car sits there and fuckin beeps for a fuckin reason. Its tellin you that its already fuckin unlocked so you dont need to push the button anymore. Today I got off work and sat outside enjoying me beverage when a fat family came out of the restaurant, the guy unlocked the car the daughter got in the car and then the guy pushed the button like 50 more times. YOUR DAUGHTER WAS ALREADY IN THE CAR OBVIOUSLY IT UNLOCKED DONT KEEP PUSHING IT!!! Fuck. People piss me off. I know its a stupid rant but I cant satnd the sound of the cars beeping 50 times when i already have to deal with the fryer beeping all fuckin day to tell me its done. Plus honestly how hard is it to put the key in the hole in the car and unlock it? When did we as a people become so fuckin lazy that we cant put a key in a hole anymore. Since theres no movie out right now that i care to see expect some more rants from me in the future,i need some way to vent my frustration. ARGH. FUCK.

Eli Stone
When I first heard of this show I thought that it was going to be really stupid but I tuned in anyways to see what it was about. The show is about a lawyer, Eli Stone, who finds out he has a brain anurism. This anurism gives him visions about what cases he should take. As the show progresses and he realizes these visions are not real he still for some reason acts out in the middle of meetings when he has a vision. A good example of this is when he is meeting his boss and a dragon flies towards the window so Eli dives under a desk. This was overused a lot and become kind of annoying over time. All in all though this show was really good and was something that I wasnt expecting from it. Theres just something about the show that makes it very fun to watch.
Grade: B+ for over dramatic vision sequences.

Iron Man
Holy Shit! This movie blew my mind. They couldnt have cast this movie any better. The CGI was incredible. I dont even really know what else to say about this movie. For those of you who know the Iron Man story line this is the beginning story of Iron Man versus War Monger. I've always loved Iron Man and this movie lived up to all the hype it was given. Gwenyth Paltrow was looking fucking hot in this movie. I cant wait for the next movie where War Machine is probably gonna be introduced. Oh and Samuel L. mother-fuckin Jackson will play Nick Fury in the next one.
Grade A+
