Zombieland

This was actually a very good movie, I enjoyed it a lot. The Zombie makeup was a tad theatrical but all in all the comedy mixed well with everyone's circumstances. I saw this and believed that most of the steps in this overly socially phobic boy's list of to do and not do could work. The summary goes like this:

Zombieland focuses on two men who have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus is a big wuss -- but when you're afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee is an AK-toting, zombie-slaying' bad ass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita and Little Rock, who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.

In order: Wichita, Tallahassee, Columbus, and little rock.

Yes Ladies he plays the Banjo!

I liked the makeup on the Zombie Clown!

Wall-E

In a distant, but not so unrealistic future, where mankind has abandoned earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful multi-national Buy N Large corporation, WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess. Mesmerized with trinkets of Earth's history and show tunes, WALL-E is alone on Earth except for a sprightly pet cockroach. One day, Eve, a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, is sent to Earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with Eve. WALL-E rescues Eve from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found amongst the rubble. Consistent with her "directive" Eve takes the plant and automatically enters a deactivated state except for a blinking green beacon. WALL-E, doesn't understand what has happened to his new friend, but true to his love, he protects her from wind, rain, and lightning, even as she is unresponsive. One day a massive ship comes to reclaim Eve, but WALL-E, out of love or loneliness hitches a ride on the outside of the ship to rescue Eve. The ship arrives back at a large space cruise ship, which is carrying all of the humans who evacuated Earth 700 years earlier. The people of Earth ride around this space resort on hovering chairs which give them a constant feed of TV and video chatting. They drink all of their meals through a straw out of laziness and/or bone loss, and are all so fat that they can barely move. When the auto-pilot computer, acting on hastily given instructions sent many centuries before, tries to prevent the people of Earth from returning, by stealing the plant, WALL-E, Eve, the portly captain, and a band of broken robots stage a mutiny.

Wall-E's friend on earht while everything else is desolate.

Eve, being taken care of by Wall-E

Moe, cleaning up after Wall-E since he's covered in earth filth.

This is the outcome, of people up in space.

The two people to be enlightened by Wall-E

The Brave captain that has decided to help make earth their new destination!

The END

I really did enjoy watching this Movie, it had its sad moments but when push comes to shove you may end up wanting to see this movie over and over again. I know I did, I would recommend this movie for anyone!

Kamikaze Girls

Kamikaze Girls

Momoko yearns to live in 18-century Versailles than in her back-country hometown of Shimotsuma, heartland of the yakuza. To escape, she loses herself in the dreamy, doll-like fashions of the "Lolita” scene. Her idol is Akinori Isobe, chief designer of Baby, the Stars Shine Bright—her favorite Lolita design hose. She travels all the way to Tokyo to shop at their store.

One languid summer, to help fund her expensive hobby, Momoko runs a
classified ad of brand-name knock-off clothes (produced by her dad) for
sale. She encounters a buyer named Ichiko, who
happens to live in her neighborhood.

Super-rebel Ichiko , is a “Yankee”-style member of the Ponytails motorbike gang, one of Ibaraki's "Wild speed tribes,” whose teeth-rattling customized bikes are decked out with fiberglass shields and bannered backrests.

Somewhat against Momoko’s will, she and Ichigo slowly develop a strong friendship as they share their feelings on the odd goings-ons around them.

I was introduced to this film by my friend and its awkward and exciting comedy was actually fun to watch.
I know this film was made into a Manga and though it differs in some ways it follows the story very well. I did enjoy this very much and do recommend it to anyone interested in a funny foreign film. I will say this the Male leading character is a tad anoying and creepy but he grows on you. I think the ending is a bit of a shock but one I really liked.

DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION

Based on the renowned Japanese manga/anime franchise, the live-action DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION follows the adventures of young Goku (Justin Chatwin of WAR OF THE WORLDS), who is drawn into the legacy of the mystical spheres of the title, and trains to become a powerful warrior with the aid of the wise but lewd Master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat) and the weapons-loving Bulma (Emmy Rossum), among others. This small band of fighters must face off against the evil warlord Piccolo (James Marsters) and his minions to avert the end of the world.

I was invited to go see this in theaters, even though I promised myself I would never see this movie. I could already tell it was going to tip toe and splash in and out of what Dragonball was truly supposed to portray. I will say this was one of the worst movies I have seen in the year 2009, I regret seeing it. But at least I never have to see it again. I have seen other peoples reviews and I being a fan of Dragonball was seriously disappointed. First off the casting was a tad lame, Roshi was a disappointment in the fact that he was so strong in the cartoon but in the movie he seemed like more of a hindrance. I didn't like the modern theme they threw into the movie, with the speculation of word of mouth before the movie was released people were saying Flying nimbus was the yellow car. That wasn't the case and even though Gohan was supposed to die by Goku, They thought they would make it short and sweet and let Piccolo off him. Bulma should have been younger in fact the entire cast should have been younger. Chi Chi was already a fighter and what Goku couldn't let her know about his powers until she mentioned something to him about Ki? I had a lot of issues with this film and gave so much disappointment I could only wish others learn from my mistake, Don't see it.

Race to whitch mountain

Okay I remember seeing this when it was a Disney original movie, and the two kids were orphans until a big tycoon takes them in to exploit there special abilities. I liked that one and been trying to see about getting a rip of it, but to no avail as of yet. Here are some pictures from the one I liked, Oh and I seem to be having a bit of a disagreement about the title of this one (Beyond witch mountain)


Well on to the 2009 Race to witch mountain review:

In Las Vegas, the regenerated ex-con Jack Bruno (Dwayne Johnson) works as taxi driver. During an UFO Convention at Planet Hollywood, the skeptical Jack picks up Dr. Alex Friedman,(Carla Gugino) who will present a scientific lecture in the event. Then he is pressed by two henchmen of his former boss, the criminal Wolff, that wants to talk to him, but Jack does not want to return to the crime life. Jack fights and gets rid of them; out of the blue, he finds two teenagers on the backseat of his cab. They tell that they are siblings, Sara(AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth(Alexander Ludwig), and they need to travel to a location outside Las Vegas in the middle of nowhere.

Thats pretty much the beginning along the way we have agents trying to get to the kids. They meet up with a random dog. The taxi get's totaled, all the while being chased down by an alien assassin.

I enjoyed watching the movie, I did watch it twice and felt it was performed to the best of it's abilities. Since they wanted to make it a present attempt to the movie. Odd the hero ends up being a Taxi driver, in the one I liked the hero was a private driver though. The Alien expo was an added touch of hilarity, I could see him having the luck of bumping into the kids when all this is going on in Vegas. Anyways, I suggest people watch this at least one time and consider trying to see the earlier versions. Almost all the earlier versions have differences from each other.
Here are some Pic's please enjoy!

Coraline

The amazing amount of work that came to make this movie must have been so incredible to watch. If I ever help make a movie I know I would want to have it be just like Coraline.


One movie that I saw this year that I adored was Coraline, this movie was so creepy that I enjoyed every moment of it. Vivid stop-motion animation combined with Neil Gaiman's imaginative story, Coraline is a film that's both visually stunning and wondrously entertaining. This was a pleasure to watch but be cautious of the age you allow your children to watch it at. Possible nightmares can occur with a slight chance of upset children, it is still a wonderful movie.

I have a detailed summary of the movie:
eerily eye-popping stop-motion animation tale of fractured dreams and families made whole. As the films opens, Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) and her parents (Teri Hatcher, John Hodgman) have moved into the Pink Palace, a once-vibrant boarding house that’s turned drab and dilapidated. As her parents work feverishly on a new gardening catalog, the bored and belligerent Coraline is admonished to explore her new world’s possibilities. Along the way she meets her fellow tenants, including two aging English showgirls and a mouse-training Russian acrobat, as well as an outcast neighborhood boy named Wybie. But it is a mysterious hidden door that most piques Coraline’s interest--a gateway to a parallel world where her "other" parents and neighbors live only to see Coraline well fed and endlessly entertained. All is not cakes and carnivals for Coraline, though, and the black buttons that have replaced the eyes of these otherworldly imitations hint at darker intentions. When these intentions are revealed, Cora and a friendly magical cat use their wits and willpower to defeat Coraline’s wicked "other mother" and restore balance in the real world.

I enjoyed the creepy feel this movie gave and when you think about it strictly you realize this movie is seriously corrupt. Leaving your own world to join a perfect one is always the wrong way to go about it. You must have forgotten the saying the grass is always greener on the other side. Well when indulge yourself in false fantasy getting back to reality can be even harder. I did enjoy how Coraline became really logical about what was going on, the girl ends up having a pretty good mind in that bizarre little head of her's.

(I will mention this though when she was eating and drinking at the dinner table in the other world....you got to wonder how disgusting it was when reality hit that fake food, I mean the mice turn into some pretty creepy rodents so you have to figure...Ewwww)




Thanks for reading!

Left 4 Dead

I play this game often with my younger brother, when my sister has her boyfriend over its a different story and they play at that point. When they play there main objective is to Troll other players though. It is a very easy game to Troll others in especially when people are working towards there expert mode. I on the other hand play for the game, to win is my goal. this game puts survival to the test and can only happen if you gather your friends or hope for some smart AI power. I don't play Versus mode that often but when I do I enjoy being the smoker. Hiding on top of a building until someone gets careless and strays from the group sound's thrilling to me. This is a game I suggest everyone play, the 2nd is coming out soon though. In a way it feel's like we got a Demo and when the 2nd one comes out we get to enjoy the real deal. That kind of bum's me out, but even with that being the case we will still be getting the 2nd one. Very fun congrats VALVE for a job well done.

Pro's of this game are

• Dynamic enemy placement make each play-through different
• Tight controls and well-tuned guns
• Stiff challenge makes survival difficult and thrilling
• Versus mode expertly turns the tables
• Killing survivors is as fun as killing zombies (if not more so).

THE INFECTED

THE WITCH: DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS GIRLS SOB'S, IF YOU SCARE HER PLAN TO KILL HER OR SHE WILL RIP YOU INTO TINY PIECES. LURES YOU IN WITH A CHILD LIKE CRY AND FRIGHTENS EASILY.

THE TANK: ONE OF THE MOST BROKEN INFECTED, TO COME CHARGING AT YOU. HE HAS SOME NASTY POWER BEHIND HIS PUMMELING AND CAN TOSS PORTIONS OF THE CONCRETE STRAIGHT AT YOU. MOST OF THE TIME HIS MAIN JOB IS TO EITHER KILL OR ATTEMPT TO GET YOU ON THE GROUND SO THE HORDE OR A HUNTER CAN FINISH YOU OFF.

THE SMOKER: THIS PUFF OF SMOKE COMES WITH A LONG TONGUE TO CONSTRICT THE SURVIVORS FROM GREAT DISTANCES, BETTER MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FRIEND NEAR BY...OR ELSE DANGLE TO YOUR DEATH.

THE HUNTER: ONE OF MY FAVORITES HE LEAPS AROUND TRYING TO POUNCE ON ANY OF THE SURVIVORS, TO RIP THEM INTO SHREDS.

THE BOOMER: HE USES HIS VOMIT TO COVER THE SURVIVORS IN HIS GREEN GOO, THIS CAUSES A HORDE TO COME FOR WHOMEVER IS COVERED IN IT.

MY YOUNGEST BROTHERS FAVORITE CHARACTER IS LOUIS
