Too Many

damn, I really need to start being more vigilant about posting. anyway . . .

My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)

Masked killer returns in this remake. I wanted to see this movie as much for the 3D as anything else. I like the novelty of it, although it's probably better suited to short films, or maybe just certain segments in a feature length film. The movie itself is alright for a slasher, decent amount of gore, boobs (all slashers should have 'em), but I wasn't crazy about the plot changes they made. The original worked a bit better for me.


Harold

The adventures of a balding 13 year old boy. Hilarious. This movie could have easily been a pile of shit, but as it turns out it's the best comedy I've seen so far this year. Great cameos and bit parts, Spencer Breslin is awesome as Harold, and i have a new found respect for Cuba Gooding Jr. It's pretty light on plot, but it never gets boring. Awkward humor at it's finest. Definitely worth watching.


Underworld & Underworld: Evolution

Vampires vs. Werewolves. Underworld 3 just came out, so I rewatched these to get myself back up to speed, because honestly I couldn't remember a damn thing that happened in either of them. The first one is ok, but the second kinda seems like it's just getting going when it ends. I'm pretty indifferent to both of them, and I probably won't see 3 in theatres, so hopefully by the time it comes out on dvd I won't have forgotten everything again.


Max Payne

Dude looking to avenge his wife's murder. I've never played the video game, so i don't really know if the plots are similar, and I don't care to look it up. I expected this movie to be chock full of action, and it isn't. Kinda boring actually, the casting is weird and it doesn't look all that great. Disappointing, but I guess I probably had too high expectations in the first place.


Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Mall cop protects mall. What can I say, it had a few funny jokes, I didn't hate it, but #1 movie two weeks running is a bit much. I'm not a Kevin James fan, he was alright though. Jamal Mixon was funny, and it had Mike Vallely(woo). My big question is: after seeing a joke a zillion times in the trailer is it still funny enough to warrant laughing out loud during the actual film? My answer: no. The answer of practically everyone else in the audience I saw the movie with: LOL. Anyway, I can only hope that the success of this convinces the makers to do a sequel starring Jamal Mixon.

I also recently watched the MST3K versions of Laserblast and Time Chasers, both hilarious.
