What happens when you get some of the worlds hottest talent all together, play music with awesome bass lines, and they are all wearing sunglass?
This.
Ocean's 13 is the next of Danny Ocean's big crime schemes. So, what's the deal this time? Well, when Willie Bank (Al Pacino), one of Vegas' largest and most corrupt casino owners ripps off Rueben (Elliot Gould) and cause him to nearly die, they got to get him back. The plan: rig all the games so that they break the house in one night. The problem: the most soficticated anti-cheating system in the world.
If you didn't like Ocean's 12, don't worry about this one. Ocean's 12 was just an excuse for rich guys to hang out, be rich, and make a lot of money and laugh all the way to the bank while we bought tickets. This is actually about telling a story and works much better as a sequel than Ocean's 12 did. The crew belongs in Vegas. It just fits, not in Europe fighting over some fabroche egg.
All the actors are back in top form. We do not get the fun "asembling the team" sequence that we get with these sort of films, but it doesn't really matter when you have all these great characters that we have had fun with the last movies. Clooney is great as Ocean and Pitt is great as Rusty. There are 2 people who really step up and shine in this movie: one is Matt Damon as Linus and the other is Casey Affleck as Virgil. In fact, Virgil supplied the biggest laughs in the movie for me. I don't want to spoil any ounce of his brilliant subplot, but it is hilarious and I loved every moment he was on screen. Damon does a great job here and is given more material than he has in the past 2 movies. Urg! In a movie about surprises I don't want to tell you what they do, but god damn it is great.
The final breaking of the bank is the highlight of the movie, as with the first Ocean's. They are tricky, they are sneaky, and all these weird things that we see them doing throughout the movie is finally tied up and we go "OOOOOOOOOOH!" It is so great, especially since you are entirely invested in the movie.
The new addition of this movie is Al Pacino as Willie Bank, the foe in this plot. Now, there are times I LOVE Pacino (The Godfather and S1mone) and times I HATE Pacino (Scarface). Here, I thought he was pretty good. He is charismatic and nice around the people he likes/needs and ruthless around the ones he doesn't. He is pretty good, but not as unlikable as Benedict.
If there is one downfall in this movie, it doesn't seem as if the stakes are incredibly high, compared to the first film. I mean, there Ocean had his love and all that money. Also, Andy Garcia was just so much better of a villian than Pacino, because he had everything our hero wanted.
This was a very fun film that I throughly enjoyed from start to finish. I would say it is the safest bet of the 3 movies out so far (even though my favorite is Spider-Man 3). It retains enough elements of the original to make us go "oh yea" and while taking the story to another place, even if it gets a bit farfetched at times. The other nice thing about it: it is short. Clocking in roughly under 2 hours it doesn't outstay its welcome like some of the 3 movies. *cough* PIRATES *cough*

Knocked Up
Every year it seems as if there is at least one movie that is nerdy, dirty, hilarious, and full of heart all at the same time. Two years ago it was The 40 Year Old Virgin, last year it was Clerks II, and now we get this gem: Knocked Up.
It is the story about overweight nerd, Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) and what happens after what was intended to just be a one night stand, Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) who is an up and coming entertainment reporter. You see, because of a mix up with words, Alison is now preggers and Ben, well, he is the father. Alison is has her sister, who the same thing happened to, telling her not to and Ben has his father and group of misfit stoner friends telling him another thing. So what is a guy who's income is based on a website that tells you how far into a movie you have to see nudity supposed to deal with this news? Will he become a responsible father? or will he end up being the disappointment they all know he will be?
This plot has been used several times over, and frankly, could have been very boring if not given to the right people. Apatow, the writer/director of this film, handles this with such care and grace that we are laughing and cheering for our fuck up of a hero throughout the movie. I was not very familiar with Apatow before I saw The 40 Year Old Virgin. I had never seen his television work, nor had I seen his other movie. After Virgin I was not expecting a serious touch to it at all. Even though he had shown traces of it in the first movie, I was not fully convinced he would be able to pull off the serious touch to this movie but boy did he do it. There was not one part of this movie that seemed out of place or contrived. It was all natural and the transition from hilarious to serious was pulled off perfectly.
Of course, he wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of his great cast. All the misfits and the great characters that are so real and unfiltered that they just feel like they could be living just down the street from you. Ben's friends are played by a troup of people Apatow had worked with in the past and they are all hilarious. Delivering great, extremely quotable lines with such ease that it makes it seem like any ol' schmo could do it but we all know that they couldn't. Paul Rudd and Lesli Mann play a couple that is somewhat of a fast forward for Alison and Ben. They got together the same way and their marriage is a constant struggle with many fights. You can tell that they know eachother very well because of the natural chemistry that pops off the screen, they can bounce insults and so much more off eachother with extreme ease. Katherine Heigl is perfect as the up-and-comer whose life is derailed after one unfortunate night. There is a sence of uneasiness to her from the moment she finds out that she is pregnant that, even in her most confident hours, just resonates that she wishes things could go back to the way it was before. The big find here is Seth Rogen as Ben Stone. He is hilarious and touching and great. Even when he is being a complete ass, he has this likability surrounding him at all times and just makes us root for him. He was my favorite part of Virgin, but I did not know that he was capable of being believable when the going got tough.
This has been my favorite movie of the summer so far and I highly recommend it to everyone. While the comedy is dirty and there is stoner humor, there is more going on than just that and it is definately worth watching. In fact, this movie is already on my "GOTTA OWN IT" list.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)
Let me give you a little bit of my background on the Fantasic Four. I'm a decent fan of the comics. Truthfully, they have never really fascinated me when I read them on their own but I have really liked them in other people's comics (mainly Spider-Man's). The movie? Well, frankly, I disliked the first one... a lot. It was juvenile and it was bad performances across the board, and really terrible CGI on the part of Mr. Fantastic. BUT I was very excited for this movie for one reason and one reason only: the Surfer. The Surfer is such a great character and with the first teaser trailer that was released a while back, god damn, I was excited. So how did this stack up? Was the Surfer everything I wanted him to be? Did it improve on the original?
The story is fairly simple. With the opening shot of a planet being devoured by a giant cosmic dust cloud, we are introduced to Galactus. We don't know much, but we know he devours planets, but before he does that he sends his herald to prepare the planet. His herald you ask? None other than the Silver Surfer. The government finds out about this strange being when massive craters begin to form around the world. So they enlist the help of the Fantastic Four to help stop the Silver Surfer and save the world. All the while, Sue Storm wants to just get married and Johnny, after his first encounter with the surfer, switches powers with whichever of the Four he touches causing many complications. There are problems with the story though as it unfolds. Different plot points that could be used to be great set pieces, just don't turn out to pay off in the end.
Well, one thing that this improves on the first is the performances. Chris Evans is very good as Johnny in my opinion and is the single best out of the Four. He is cocky and knows that he is a celebrity, just like in the comics, but he pulls through when people need him. When he steps up to the big challenge that faces him, he does it with more maturity and understanding that any other in the four. Julian McMahon turns in a performance as Victor Von Doom that I was very pleased with this time. He is in the castle and he is using politics to get his way this time, just like the Doom we all know and love. He is very villiany, and sometimes it gets to the point where I'm expecting in to start playing with a handlebar moustache, but for the most part very fun to watch him come into the character. Alba has definately improved in the role from what, in the first, I considered to be a terrible choice for Sue, she now feels like she finally realized that Sue just wants to help people and not have a big showy life, but there are still way too many extremely stale lines that she delievers to call this "good." Michael Chicklis, you know, I feel that if they gave him proper dialouge, Chicklis could be a GREAT, not just good, but GREAT Thing, but they make everything with a joke. Even to the point of pulling a Mallrats-esque joke on his behalf. The Thing is a great character in the comic books, and frankly, the writers treat him like shit. Ioan Gruffudd... he has no clue what he is doing as Mr. Fantastic. It is sad to watch him deliver one stale life after another. There is not one moment he is believable in the movie. Sadly, because he is already established, they will not replace him in the 3rd movie.
The effects in this movie, except for the Surfer, feel a bit weak to me. There is one battle near the end between Johnny and Doom that could have been incredible. It could have been one of the coolest moments dedicated to film, but because of the cheezy look of it all it seems to not be able to achieve the spectacle it was hoping for. And, as before, the stretching Mr. Fantastic looks very cheesy.
And what about The Silver Surfer you ask? The sole reason I saw this movie, truthfully? He is incredible. Every moment he was on screen, I was absorbed. He was exactly how he was in the comics, stoic, brave, and with a sence of duty. This was what all the animators spent their time on in the movie, and damn does it pay off. When he is on his board he is shiney and looks entirely like he was covered in metal. Doug Jones brought the body to life perfectly and capture so many nuances and great looks. Even Lawerence Fishbourne, the voice of the Silver Surfer, who I was very skeptical about at first, was great. There was not one thing wrong about the Silver Surfer and I cannot wait for the Silver Surfer movie.
As for Galactus? They pulled him off the best way they could. Do we see the big purple guy with horns? Nope, but we do see the shadow of that. I feel that Galactus, while great on paper, would have looked extremely cheesy if brought to life the way he was depicted in the comics. Here they make him more like a god, a force of nature. Fans who want to see that Galactus, I'm sorry, you are going to be disappointed (and very disappointed with how they end his thread of the story).
Over all, this movie is much better than the first, in my opinion. The performances have gotten stronger, the action has gotten bigger, and there is no silly love triangle, but with all these improvements it just doesn't reach to a very memorable movie. I would see it if I had 5 bucks and had not seen Knocked Up and Ocean's 13 (which are still in theaters, and are both very good).

GRINDHOUSE: The Fake Trailers
Okay, for a true Grindhouse experience, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Taratino through in 4 fake trailers (one of which is actually being made into a movie). They were all great and spectacular. I'm going to review them in order from least favorite to favorite with their taglines.
DON'T:
This was a hialrious send up of ads for movies that tell nothing about the plot but have some crazy ass marketing scheme. The entire trailers goes "If you are thinking about (insert something) DON'T!" It is done by Edgar Wright of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz fame. It is very funny, but we don't really get any funny shots of the actual movie except for one, and I don't want to spoil it for you. What we mostly get though are moody shots that take me back to the Hammer horror films of the 60's and 70's. It is good, but I wouldn't want to see a movie of it.
Tagline: "If You Are Thinking About Seeing This Movie Alone... DON'T!"
THANKSGIVING:
So we have slashers of Halloween, Christmas and even St. Patricks Day (if you include Leprachaun). So Eli Roth (director of HOSTEL) decided to show his own take on the genre of holiday slashers: THANKSGIVINGS. This trailer had everything from boobs to one of the most painful deaths in the entire movie. At the same time it is very funny. I would definately love to see a feature of this, as long as Roth didn't fuck up a good idea like he did with HOSTEL.
Tagline: You'll come home in a body bag.
MACHETE:
After Robert Rodriguez entertained up with the great Planet Terror he decided to make this trailer that is a send up of action/revenge flicks. It stars Danny Trejo as MACHETE. A man who is betrayed by the government and decides to take the law into his own hands with help from his brother, who is also a priest, played by Cheech Marin. It looks hilarious/awesome. This movie promises everything from nudity to bad ass action and a thrill a minute. This is actually being made into a movie (Rodriguez has said it will only take 10 days to shoot and will be released to DVD).
Tagline: They Fucked With The Wrong Mexican.
Finally.....
WEREWOLF WOMEN OF THE S.S.
What do you get when you throw women, were-wolfs, mad scientists, Nazis and Nic Cage in his best role yet (I won't spoil this for you)? THIS FREAKIN' MOVIE! From the beginning to the end it is a laugh a minute. Featuring Udo Keir, Sheri Moon Zombie, Nic Cage and Bill Mosely this movie promises the goods. It is directed by Rob Zombie and damn I hope they make this movie. It looks hilarious.
Tagline: The True Story of Hitler's Experiments.
All of these get a 5/5. I say see this movie, it is unlike anything else I have seen and definately worth the 3 and a half hour viewing time and the 7 bucks. Screw that newest Will Ferral slop where he plays Ron Burgendy on ice. This is what cinema is all about and I dare a movie to try to top it this year. The only 2 other possibilties for beating this movie out this year for me, it looks like, is Spider-Man 3 and Transformers (and I doubt Transformers will).
GRINDHOUSE: Death Proof
This is the 2nd half of Grindhouse and the the only part directed by an Academy Award Winner-Quentin Tarantino. How is this slasher with a car? Awesome as well? Yes, but not as awesome as Planet Terror, or the fake trailers for that matter.
The story really needs to be devided into 2 parts. The first part focus on Jungle Julia and a group of her friends getting drunk at a bar, when they run into a man named "Stuntman Mike." Jungle Julia promises whoever recites this poem to her friend, will get a lap dance from her friend, and Stuntman Mike, who has a car that is "100% death proof" is the man that knows the poem. That night he gives a girl a ride home, and sends 4 others home... IN A BODY BAG! The second half of the story is about a group of four girls who are on the set for a movie when they decide to play a came with a car like the one from The Vanishing Point. During this game, Stuntman Mike shows up and the fun begins...
Kurt Russel plays Stuntman Mike, and god damn is he great! He is such a cool collected character, but he gives an extremely creepy feeling off any time he is on screen. From this character who harkens back to his days of being a total badass in John Carpenter movies he totally switches roles and becomes down right terrifying in one exchange of dialouge that begins like this. "Which way is your home?" "Take a left." "Ah, that's too bad, you have to get scared now..." While it seems a bit cheesy there, the rest of the dialouge is crazy and fun and everything one would want from Taratino film.
Directing wise, this movie was very good, but not great. Most of the movie is talking, and while Taratino is great with dialouge, it seems like he is going back to the well. Seriously, there is one conversation in the 2nd half that was just him re-using his shots from the opening dialouge of Reservoir Dogs. Let me tell you this though, this has the greatest, greatest car chase/car crash ever. So much excitement so much pure adreniline. It is simply a work of modern pop-art.
My one problem with this movie is that it didn't feel as if it was a genuine "grindhouse" flick. It seemed like Taratino wrote one of his basic scripts with a scary character and a cool death scene and made a great movie with it. It was way too much talking for a real "grindhouse" movie, and even though we got a lot of clothed shots of T&A, with all these hot chicks in the movie, we should have seen some bare flesh. Usually I don't judge a movie on nudity, but this is a movie called GRINDHOUSE for heaven's sake.
In the end, this is a great movie but the least enjoyable part of Grindhouse. It has great direction, and acting, but gets too talky at times.
My Rating: 4.5/5

GRINDHOUSE: Planet Terror
Ever since I have started watching horror films, I have wanted to see a double feature. When you do research on horror films (as well as other types), you hear about these mythical double features. Also, if you are a fan of horror, you probably love the movie From Dusk Til Dawn which was written by Quentin Taratino and Robert Rodriguez. 2 of the filmmakers that came out of, what I like to call, the "American New Wave." Last year I got the news that these two directors, who had been so influential in the 90's and now 2000's with Rodriguez's Sin City were doing a double feature called Grindhouse and not only would it be a double-feature, but a horror double feature with FAKE TRAILERS by Rodriguez (YAY!), Rob Zombie (YAY!), Edgar Wright (YAY!), and Eli Roth (Yea...). Well I saw it two weeks ago and can't stop thinking about it so here is my review.
PLANET TERROR:
Rodriguez had this idea when he was doing the under-whelming The Faculty. It is brought to life, and let me tell you, it is one hell of a ride. When a zombie epidemic sweeps a town, many different walks of life have to collide to save the world including a Go-Go Dancer, a member of some secret society, and a sheriff. There is not one moment of this film that is not incredible.
Rodriguez's directing is what makes this movie simply a heart pounding action ride. He begins with the movie with the dead sexy Rose McGowan, playing Cherry the Go-Go dancer, working her body on a stage. Hell, I would have been happy if that was the whole movie. Anyways, this man knows how to gross you out and make you go "AW SHIT!" With the missing reel that he took out from the film, which takes you to a point in the story where you have no idea what is going on. It is incredible. I can't say more good things about this movie.
But I will, because the acting is great for what they were trying to accomplish. Everybody is perfectly cheesy, but not too over the top. Rose McGowan and Freddy Rodriguez take control of this movie. McGowan plays a woman who is unhappy with her job as a go-go dancer and wants to be a stand-up comedian. She is extremely hot and really kick ass when she gets her machine gun leg. I mean, it is a FREAKIN' MACHINE GUN LEG! Frddy Rodriguez plays El Wray, who "never misses." He is a total bad ass, but only the 2nd most bad ass person in this double feature (the 1st is coming up later). He slices, he shoots, he does everything. I hope to see more from him in the future.
In all, this was my favorite out the two movies and I give it a 5 out of 5.
Here I Am Rock You Like A Hurricane
Okay, well, after posting reviews and the such on different websites and in my myspace blogs, I got sick of it. Just down right tired of having only like 10 blogs showing at all times. It would push down my the short films I made and they would be gone. I was seemingly being left with this option: only post my movie reviews or my short movies. And that my friends is a decision I'm not willing to make. Thus, I created this blog.
I'm pretty much here to share all things to do with me that is movie related. Those 3 things will be:
1) My Short Films: My friend Ray and I have a little production company named Biohazard Pictures which we make movies under. I will post those short films here.
2) My Movie News: This is be primarily about the short films that Ray and I work on. What is coming next? What are we thinking about? Why haven't we made one in months? You know, that sort of stuff. Once in a while, if I find something particularly interesting in the world of film, I will share it.
3) My Movie Reviews: This is wear I could be treading on the heals of my friend Kyle Hadley, he has a review blog also and friends of both of ours might be devided, but don't worry, our opinions differ enough that you can read both (and if you only read one, read Kyle's since I'm just getting the hang of this blogging).
I have a lot of movies I need to review that I've seen recently. My first 3 that will be original for this will probably be Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Knocked Up and Ocean's 13. But that can easily change.

I have a lot of movies I need to review that I've seen recently. My first 3 that will be original for this will probably be Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Knocked Up and Ocean's 13. But that can easily change.
