I was pleasantly surprised by the first Iron Man. I went in thinking it would be another garbage superhero movie, but it turned out to be pretty decent. Iron Man 2, however, does not hold up. It turned into the same generic crap I expected the first one to be. Boring action sequences, unfunny jokes, and an overall lack of excitement or tension. The best part of the whole movie was Scarlett Johansson in her bra. I like Sam Rockwell, but in this movie it just seemed like he was trying to do a Gary Oldman impression. Maybe Iron Man 3 will be better . . . but probably not.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5311442557091915513-6660582375252808143?l=dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/feeds/6660582375252808143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2010/10/iron-man-2.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/6660582375252808143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/6660582375252808143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2010/10/iron-man-2.html' title='Iron Man 2'/><author><name>colin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01048251557649761434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ktD-WSo43M/SV037ZWExAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zqx6bGtlZnA/S220/CIMG0004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311442557091915513.post-8783174937656986804</id><published>2010-06-28T10:15:00.002-02:30</published><updated>2010-06-28T10:26:04.487-02:30</updated><title type='text'>Hot Tub Time Machine</title><content type='html'>A hot tube transports four guys back to the 80s.

What can i say about Astro boy, i've read a lot of the original manga, and loved the 80's tv series, so i consider myself a fan, and that might be why i didn't really like this movie. The animation was fine, and the original characters worked well,  but the astro boy parts just didn't do it for me. Why not make up a new hero or something, there's no need to take an established character with a rich history and fuck with it. They did the whole origin thing too,  which just burns up screen time and doesn't really add anything to the movie. It's not as horrible as i thought it might be, but it's still not very good. I'll take my animated astro boy in 2-D with an awesome theme song thank you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also watched recently: Ninja Assassin.

This movie isn't terrible, definitely not as bad as it could have been, but it leaves out, or changes so many things that it can't possibly compare to the comic. I know some of it was necessary, they couldn't  have a zillion hour film, blah, blah, blah, but some of the changes wouldn't have effected the run time and just seemed pointless. Also, the soundtrack was down right horrible. Too many little things just bothered me, and i couldn't really get into it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Role Models&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two guys have to mentor kids as part of community service. For a while i wasn't sold on this one, the commercials made it look kinda crappy, but it turns out it's pretty awesome. Good characters, good writing and a good director. One of the funniest movies i've seen all year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Punisher: War Zone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Punisher kills lots of bad guys. The first couple of scenes in this movie are excellent, and then it kinda goes downhill from there. It never gets really bad, just pretty cheesy, and i wished that it had stuck more to the what it was in the beginning, just the Punisher killing mobsters, isn't of going with a more comic booky type villain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Jr.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ace Ventura's son is on the case. A good try, but i laughed a lot more at the movie then with it.  The original Ace Venture was Jim Carrey at his best, and that's a hard act to follow. Seems like there's zero budget. If you do watch it you'll probably laugh more at the "Pandas" then you will for the entire rest of the movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bolt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Super dog has to save his master. There were a few laughs, and it looked good, but overall this movie was very predictable, and kinda boring, but that's kids' movies for ya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Let The Right One In&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A vampire lives next door. Not much happening in this movie, it's pretty slow, but an interesting take on vampires. It also runs kinda long, and probably could have been trimmed a fair bit without doing too much damage. The ending is awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Twilight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vampires in a small town. These aren't your father's vampires, they're your little sister's masturbation fodder. All through the movie i just imagined Edward talking in a Christopher Walken voice. I can only hope that SNL gets Walken to host again soon, and they do a sketch about this, or if not Walken, then maybe Bill Hader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ong Bak 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tony Jaa kicks a lot of ass yet again. Not as good as the first Ong Bak, and i definitely didn't dig the cliffhanger ending, but there's still plenty of great action and mayhem. Ong Bak 3 can't come soon enough.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5311442557091915513-9221947857344992705?l=dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/feeds/9221947857344992705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/04/watchmen-others.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/9221947857344992705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/9221947857344992705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/04/watchmen-others.html' title='Watchmen + others'/><author><name>colin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01048251557649761434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ktD-WSo43M/SV037ZWExAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zqx6bGtlZnA/S220/CIMG0004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311442557091915513.post-1037060041909821053</id><published>2009-03-09T23:54:00.004-02:30</published><updated>2009-03-10T00:45:51.628-02:30</updated><title type='text'>a bunch</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Steep&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Documentary about the origins of big mountain and extreme skiing. In general i'm not particularly interested in skiing, but this movie managed to keep my attention for pretty much the entire run time. Looks really good, lots of great shots of the mountains and the skiers doing what they do best. Exciting and kinda sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Midnight Meat Train&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographer investigates strange goings on in the subway. One of the better horror films to come out of 2008. There's not really a whole lot in terms of plot in this move, and the gore is pretty over the top, but that's a lot of what the movie has going for it. None of the characters are super annoying, which is one thing that's seems to be in a lot of movies these days. The character you "love to hate", but really it'd just be better if there weren't' there at all. If for nothing else then the scene with Ted Raimi alone makes this one worth watching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Still Waiting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Restaurants compete for customers. The (long awaited?) sequel to Waiting. Some characters for the original make brief appearances, but it's mostly a new cast. I'll watch pretty much anything with Andy Milonakis in it, and John Michael Higgins is usually pretty awesome. This one had it's laughs, wasn't too bad. I'd probably rate it slightly below the first Waiting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Persepolis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story of the youth of an Iranian girl, adapted from a comic. I read the comic before seeing the movie, and some of the parts i liked from the comic were either omitted of shortened, which was kind of a shame. Overall thought, this is a good movie, especially the animation, it really captures the art style from the comic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Old School&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bunch of thirtysomethings try to start a fraternity. I heard this was funny, but i'm not a big fan of Will Ferrell, or Vince Vaughn for that matter. It has it's moments, but i wasn't crazy about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Futurama: Into The Wild Green Yonder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further adventures of the Planet Express crew. I'm not really sure where i'd rank this among the other movies. It has it's ups and downs, like all of 'em. I'm really more interested in seeing them relaunch the show again. The shorter format seems to work a lot better, all the movies seemed kinda dragged out to me. Guess it's wait and see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wrong Turn 2: Dead End&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More hillbilly cannibals. Not much to say about this, some ok kills, but for the most part it was kinda boring. Henry Rollins as a marine was funny, he's pretty much the only reason to watch this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5311442557091915513-1037060041909821053?l=dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/feeds/1037060041909821053/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/03/steep-documentary-about-origins-of-big.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/1037060041909821053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/1037060041909821053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/03/steep-documentary-about-origins-of-big.html' title='a bunch'/><author><name>colin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01048251557649761434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ktD-WSo43M/SV037ZWExAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zqx6bGtlZnA/S220/CIMG0004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311442557091915513.post-2686545504260167904</id><published>2009-02-13T16:09:00.003-03:30</published><updated>2009-02-15T22:40:50.594-03:30</updated><title type='text'>Buckaroo Banzai is awesome, plus others</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Aladdin&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Poor boy falls in love, finds magic lamp. Hadn't watched this movie in years, and it didn't really hold up as well as I was expecting. I guess that's probably because it's obviously targeted at kids, and everything just seems a little more boring and predictable when you're older. Songs are still alright though, and it's one of Robin Williams better performances before he just became kinda a joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buckaroo Banzai has to stop the evil Dr. Lizardo. This movie is a cult classic, and with good cause. Awesome characters, ridiculous situations, and the promise of a sequel that was never made. There's also a They Live kinda thing going on, or really it's the other way around I guess, but either way it's a plus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9 To 5: Days In Porn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Documentary about the modern porn industry in america. This isn't about porn as right or wrong, it's just about the lives of various people who work in the industry, producers, directors, agents, and stars. It's pretty interesting, but there's a bunch of graphic sex, as you might expect, so it's probably not for everybody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;[REC]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crazy stuff happens at an apartment complex, and a film crew is there to see it.  I'm not much for these fake documentry style movies (except mockumentarys), but this one was actually really good. The premise of the camera being there in the first place wasn't too ridiculous, and there's a good flow overall. At just under 75 minutes it's pretty short, but that works really well in this case, as anything longer would have just been unnecessary padding. [REC] has already been remade in america as Quarantine, only about a year after it was originally released. I haven't seen Quarantine yet, but I don't really see the point of doing remake that soon (or at all in the case of a lot of remakes).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Open Season 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The further adventures of a bear and a deer. I really only watched this because Joel McHale does a voice. I couldn't even make it through the first one, and this isn't much better, if at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Flow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Documentary about corporations that try to control water. Interesting and scary stuff. Access to clean, safe water is really taken for granted, and eventually the bubble's gonna burst. Definitely worth watching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bowling For Columbine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Documentary about guns in america.  Rewatching this one. Saw it when it first came out, but not since. Still interesting stuff, but this time I was a bit more critical of the way Michael Moore presents some of this ideas. He spends too much time trying to make Charlton Heston out to be the villan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Friday The 13th (2009)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone is murdering people in the woods. If this was just another slasher movie with a different killer it would have been ok, but as a Friday The 13th it didn't really work for me. Not that a straight remake would have been any better, but maybe it's just time to do some new shit, all this remake nonsense is getting pretty played.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also watched MST3K versions of Space Mutiny, Soultaker, Hobgoblins, and Future Wars, and the Rifftrax of Jurassic Park.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5311442557091915513-2686545504260167904?l=dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/feeds/2686545504260167904/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/02/buckaroo-banzai-is-awesome-plus-others.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/2686545504260167904'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/2686545504260167904'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/02/buckaroo-banzai-is-awesome-plus-others.html' title='Buckaroo Banzai is awesome, plus others'/><author><name>colin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01048251557649761434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ktD-WSo43M/SV037ZWExAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zqx6bGtlZnA/S220/CIMG0004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311442557091915513.post-4439743729823000718</id><published>2009-01-29T20:01:00.002-03:30</published><updated>2009-01-29T21:08:30.546-03:30</updated><title type='text'>Too Many</title><content type='html'>damn, I really need to start being more vigilant about posting. anyway . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Harold&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Underworld&lt;/span&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Underworld: Evolution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Max Payne&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Paul Blart: Mall Cop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also recently watched the MST3K versions of Laserblast and Time Chasers, both hilarious.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5311442557091915513-4439743729823000718?l=dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/feeds/4439743729823000718/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/01/too-many.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/4439743729823000718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/4439743729823000718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/01/too-many.html' title='Too Many'/><author><name>colin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01048251557649761434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ktD-WSo43M/SV037ZWExAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zqx6bGtlZnA/S220/CIMG0004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311442557091915513.post-4429374449809200876</id><published>2009-01-18T21:30:00.002-03:30</published><updated>2009-01-18T22:55:05.436-03:30</updated><title type='text'>Movie Threesome</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pineapple Express&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dude witnesses a murder and he and his drug dealer have to go on the lam. Definitely funny, but not something I'm dying to watch again anytime soon. I don't really have a lot to say about this movie, the humor is pretty similar to most of the movies from the Apatow crew. It's pretty violent for a comedy, not just slapstick, but real blood and gore and death type stuff. On the whole I didn't think that meshed very well with the silliness of most of the movie, but in the end it's still pretty good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;In The Heat Of The Night&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Detective traveling home gets caught up in murder case in a small town. Just re-watching a classic. Sidney Poitier is great, and Rod Steiger kills it as Police Chief Gillespie. Amazing supporting cast too, really gives the feel of a seedy, isolated small town. Quincy Jones does the music, and that's awesome as well. One of my favorite movies, and I loved the book too. This is one of the few movies that actually does justice to it's source material, and some might say, surpasses it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The World According To Monsanto &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Documentary about the Monsanto corporation. Lots of interesting, and scary facts and points-of-view in this movie. Tends to be fairly bias, talking mostly to people can be considered anti-monsanto, but I'm not going to fault it for that. My major problem with this film was the segues, and presentation of facts, and quotes. A lot of it is done in a blacked out studio, where you can see only the director and a Mac infront of her. She introduces and segues to different topics by typing keywords into google, and looking at various webpages and search results. I felt that cheapened the movie a bit. I would have even preferred the more traditional, and kinda boring voiceover with stock footage approach.  One other thing that's not necessarily a flaw, but maybe a missed opportunity is the voiceover itself. The director is French, but can and does speak english to interview most of the individuals in the movie. Since she speaks quite a bit anyway, and most of the voiceover is read like she was speaking it, I don't see why she didn't just narrate the whole movie.

Frankly, I expected better from Howard Deutch, but maybe I'm kidding myself. His first three movies were excellent(sez me), but after that it was kinda a downward slide. Dane Cook stars, and as cliche as it is to say, people tend to either love him or hate him. In terms of his stand-up, I am of the former, but most of the movies he's been in leave something to be desired. Jason Biggs I am indifferent too, and I don't like Kate Hudson. Alec Baldwin is funny, no surprise, but he's barely in the movie. Overall, there are very few laughs, but most of it is pretty boring. Maybe Dane Cook should try doing something besides these romantic/vulgar comedy fusions he keeps churning out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tokyo Gore Police&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cops have to hunt down evil mutants. Retarded, over the top gore for gore's sake. Pretty good as long as you don't expect much more then blood spraying all over the place every few minutes.  It'd be too hard for me to try to do the movie justice with a written description (that's a cop out, I know), so  just watch it and see for yourself. Be warned, there's massive amounts of gore (it's right there in the title) and other bizarre shit, but I don't think any of it looks real enough to be too upsetting. At first I was kinda unimpressed with this movie, but as it went on it grew on me, and I ended up liking it, proving that sheer ridiculousness is enough to sell me on something.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5311442557091915513-1374879716077566758?l=dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/feeds/1374879716077566758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/01/double-feature-my-best-friends-girl.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/1374879716077566758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/1374879716077566758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/01/double-feature-my-best-friends-girl.html' title='Double Feature: My Best Friend&apos;s Girl, Tokyo Gore Police'/><author><name>colin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01048251557649761434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ktD-WSo43M/SV037ZWExAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zqx6bGtlZnA/S220/CIMG0004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311442557091915513.post-674246300558388237</id><published>2009-01-12T23:29:00.002-03:30</published><updated>2009-01-13T00:37:15.814-03:30</updated><title type='text'>The Week In Movies</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ping Pong Playa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basketball loving kid has to win the big ping pong tournament. I rolled the dice on this one, looked like it could be terrible or awesome. Turns out it leans more toward awesome, but not quite there. Good cast, pretty funny, didn't drag too much. One thing that kinda annoyed me was the swearing,  which was bleeped out by sound effects. I didn't get that, either write it without cursing, or just let it be said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Chasing Ghosts: Beyond The Arcade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A documentary that catches up with some of the great video game players of the early 80's.  Great stuff, really interesting and funny, plus erotic art. Kind of like King Of Kong, except with a broader scope, and less manufactured drama. Probably not for everybody, but I enjoyed it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;My Bloody Valentine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Masked killer hacks up people on Valentine's Day. Watched this in preparation to see the 3D remake coming out soon. I like my slasher films with plenty of gore, but this didn't deliver.  Apparently a lot was cut out by the MPAA (bastards), but will be restored for the first time in an upcoming dvd release. One of the best parts is the song that plays over the end credits. I liked the killer, and the concept, so I'll be checking out the uncut version, but as it stands, the old version just isn't that great.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shred&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Washed up snowboards try to get back on top by opening a training camp. Tom Green (say what you will) was the main reason I rented this movie. Turns out that even though he gets top billing he's really only a supporting, almost minor, character. The ol' bait and switch. I like Dave England ok too, but either way this movie is bad. Not very funny, kinda slow, overused plot. A waste of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Up The Yangtze&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Documentary about a family affected by the damming of the Yangtze river. I really liked this one, but I may be a little bias because of my interest in (fetish for?) asian culture and such. Looks great. Kinda sad, even though everything seems to sort of work out in the end. I acutally watched a lot of the special features on the dvd, which is something I quite rarely do. Maybe the focus could have been a little broader, but over all, pretty awesome.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5311442557091915513-674246300558388237?l=dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/feeds/674246300558388237/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/01/week-in-movies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/674246300558388237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/674246300558388237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/01/week-in-movies.html' title='The Week In Movies'/><author><name>colin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01048251557649761434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ktD-WSo43M/SV037ZWExAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zqx6bGtlZnA/S220/CIMG0004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311442557091915513.post-3889876796269033557</id><published>2009-01-07T19:11:00.004-03:30</published><updated>2009-01-07T19:48:35.511-03:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='django'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sukiyaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='western'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='disaster'/><title type='text'>Double Feature: Sukiyaki Western Django, Disaster Movie</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sukiyaki Western Django&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like most of the other Takashi Miike films I've seen this was violent, bizarre, and entertaining. It's doesn't try to be an authentic western, but I didn't expect it to anyway. Having the whole cast speak english is an interesting idea, but it gets pretty annoying at times.  It's definitely worth a watch but the dvd I rented was a cut version, missing about 20 minutes as far as i can tell, so I don't want to make a final judgement just yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Disaster Movie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I'm a gluton for punishment, because I've watched most, if not all, of the " _______ Movie" titles that have been released. This one is no different then most, on paper there's a lot of potential, but went it comes to the actual movie the laughs are few and far between. Shit's just poorly written and poorly acted. Half the reason I watch these movies is to see just how bad they turn out. One of the few parts I genuinely liked was the "Juno" parody character, but thats probably because I really didn't like Juno, and just enjoyed seeing that movie get shit on. I really wouldn't want to pay any money to see this movie, but for free i can deal with it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5311442557091915513-3889876796269033557?l=dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/feeds/3889876796269033557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/01/double-feature-sukiyaki-western-django.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/3889876796269033557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/3889876796269033557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/01/double-feature-sukiyaki-western-django.html' title='Double Feature: Sukiyaki Western Django, Disaster Movie'/><author><name>colin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01048251557649761434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ktD-WSo43M/SV037ZWExAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zqx6bGtlZnA/S220/CIMG0004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311442557091915513.post-5739343160601638437</id><published>2009-01-06T22:11:00.003-03:30</published><updated>2009-01-06T22:39:38.178-03:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dangerous'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bangkok'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hamlet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2'/><title type='text'>Double Feature: Hamlet 2, Bangkok Dangerous</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hamlet 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went into this movie with high expectations, based on not a whole lot really, and came out a little disappointed. Too much time was spent on the set up and creation of the play, and the actual staging of Hamlet 2 was really short. I think it would have been much better to have the bulk of the film be the Hamlet 2 performance, and just bookend it with a short set up and conclusion. Steve Coogan was hilarious, but most of the supporting cast were kinda boring and forgettable. Worth a look, but I probably won't be watching it again anytime soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bangkok Dangerous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The basic plot of this movie, ruthless assassin has a change of heart, has been done plenty of times before, so pretty much the main reason, for me at least, to watch this movie is for the action sequences. Unfortunately, Bangkok Dangerous falls pretty short in that department. For one, there aren't that many action sequences to begin with. In a movie about a hitman I expect the bullets, or blades, or whatever, to be flying frequently. My second complaint is that the quality of the action that is in the movie varies greatly. Some scenes are awesome and fun to watch, while others seem very poorly planned and executed(almost a pun.) I wouldn't recommend this one, also, Nic Cage's kinda long, greasy hair is gross. Cut that shit.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5311442557091915513-5739343160601638437?l=dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/feeds/5739343160601638437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/01/double-feature-hamlet-2-bangkok.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/5739343160601638437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5311442557091915513/posts/default/5739343160601638437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dumpsterchicken.blogspot.com/2009/01/double-feature-hamlet-2-bangkok.html' title='Double Feature: Hamlet 2, Bangkok Dangerous'/><author><name>colin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01048251557649761434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2ktD-WSo43M/SV037ZWExAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Zqx6bGtlZnA/S220/CIMG0004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311442557091915513.post-3683179025474035128</id><published>2009-01-01T12:35:00.004-03:30</published><updated>2009-01-01T18:31:49.185-03:30</updated><title type='text'>The Big List of 08</title><content type='html'>In 2008 I tried to keep track of every movie I watched, and for the most part I think I succeeded.
