Fast & Furious 2009

Sorry guys and girls I've been lazy with the reviews. The reason being the movie industry has not put out anything that really caught my eye. The next post will be Prom Night Review which I just recently had the pleasure of watching. Something that did catch my eye though is a new Fast and the Furious movie. I know a lot of people where not a fan of the first one but I liked it a lot. I have always been a big fan of Vin Diesel and I think the guy has talent. I also just saw the trailer and I'm happy they brought back the original cast. So here it is for my fans and friends who are reading this. Also I appreciate the comments and feedback from all of you wonderful people, it inspires me to write more.

Enjoy!

“Step Brothers Failure to Launch with a Kick & Punch”

The movie begins by introducing two forty year old’s in California who still live with there parents. (Brendan Huff) played by Will Ferrell who still lives with his mom and (Dale Doback) who lives with his Dad. So why is this movie called Step Brothers and how do they meet? This happens when Brendan’s mom (Nancy) played by Mary Steenburgen meets Dale’s dad (Dr. Robert Doback) played by Richard Jenkins at a press conference and they fall in love and decide to get married. The two parents also discuss how they have two kids that are middle aged that still have not left the nest yet. Once the four move into together the brother’s must get along and learn to live with each other. This is where the movie really starts to pick up and get interesting. Ferrell and Reilly’s characters begin hating each other. This is until they both can finally agree on something they both hate more, Ferrell’s younger brother (Derek) played by Adam Scott. Reilly’s character (Dale) is also pissed off that his dad (Robert) likes (Derek) so much Ferrell’s younger brother. The two parents’ agree that if these two don’t find jobs with in the next month, they will be kicked out of the house.

So what happens during this time that makes this film so funny? Imagine yourself being a ten year old trapped in a forty year olds body. That’s what you get from Step Brother’s two little spoiled brats running around causing havoc sleep walking, getting in fights, yelling, and screaming. To me the reviewer this is blast to watch on screen. Ferrell and Reilly bring there A game. They are hilarious together one silly joke after another that had me laughing so hard I almost peed my pants. For example Reilly (Dale’s) one rule of the house is to not touch his drums. Ferrell’s character (Brendan) not only play’s the drum’s but drops one of his balls on it. Then when Reilly’s character calls him out on it he says “Why are you all sweaty? “ Ferrell says I was watching cops!” Moments like this make Step Brothers a pleasure to watch.

So in the end it’s not so much the plot that leaves you intrigued it’s the acting, the improf, and the chemistry. Step Brother’s is not going to win any Oscars but it sure is funny to watch. Ferrell needed a comeback hit after a disappointing Semi-Pro and Step Brothers was it. So if you are looking for a comedy with some kick to it Step Brothers is the answer to your prayers.

"Never Back Down This Summer’s Guilty Pleasure"

Never Back Down tells a wonderful story about a kid in his teen’s named Jake Tyler (Sean Farris). Jake is trying to cope with the death of his father. Jake need’s an outlet for his anger. At first it was High School football tackling as his role as star lineman in Iowa. This is until his younger brother Charlie (Wyatt Smith) is offered a chance to play tennis in Orlando. Jake and his family try and start fresh in Orlando. Jake’s mother Margot (Leslie Hope) try’s to keep the family together, due to the tough loss of Jake’s father in a car accident.

At Jake’s first day of High School he instantly develops a crush on beautiful Baja Miller (Amber Heard), and meet’s Max (Evan Peters). Max tells him all about this underground high school fight club. Max is Jake’s good friend and sidekick throughout the movie. The real action starts though after Baja invites him to a pool party, and Jake accepts. This is where Jake meet’s Ryan Baja’s boyfriend (Cam Gigandet). The phrase “Never Back Down”, really starts to develop its meaning. Bully Ryan who only get’s joy out of hurting other people, gives Jake a beat down in front of everyone at the party causing utter humiliation.

Max then convinces Jake to start training and seek revenge on Ryan. To do this he suggests to Jake that he should train with Jean Roqua (Djimon Hounsou). Real chemistry develops between these two character’s Jake and Jean and they become great friends. During Jake’s training you get a real look at what it takes to become a great fighter using your hands and your feet. In they end you get to see Jake and Ryan battle for it all. This scene takes place at a club in Orlando where fighters duke it out called the Beat Down. Jake reminds us all that everyone has one fight in them that we need to carry out. You also get to see Jake and Baja relationship expand into something more then just a friendship.

I really enjoyed watching this movie because of its hip and note worthy soundtrack from such acts as The Bravery, and 12 Stones, and Lil Wayne & Chammilonaire. I also enjoyed seeing standout performances from Jake (Sean Fairs) and Ryan (Cam Gigandet) who reminds me a lot of a young Brad Pitt. So sit back relax and rent this summer’s guilty pleasure Never Back Down delivers on all cylinders.

Entourage Season 5

With entourage one of my favorite shows only a month away I had to say something about it. First of all I think it looks awesome cant wait to see Vinnie Chase, Drama, Ari, Turtle and Eric back in action. Secondly from the trailer I just saw it looks pretty good and I'm really excited to get things started in September. I hope Jeremy Piven keeps on giving outstanding performances as his role as Ari. He really is in my opinion the star of the show. Anyways guys and girls enjoy the trailer. And I'll have another movie review up soon possibly Never Back Down!






Enjoy...

Pineapple Express one hell of a ride!

Did you ever have a movie where you go in expecting something mediocre and come out seeing something fantastic! It starts out showing Dale Denton who is a process server giving subpoena’s to people in different outfits and talking about how much he loves weed who doesn’t Right? This is what I got out of stoner film named Pineapple Express. Seth Rogen starring role as Dale Denton a process server does a wonderful job writing this awesome screenplay. Each scene will have you laughing, and there really is not a dull moment throughout the entire movie. The scenes I most enjoyed were Franco and Rogen's escapades; they were like a modern day Cheech and Chong! Also I was very surprised with James Franco's performance as Saul Silver Dale's drug dealer. Franco is a natural at comedy and has some surprisingly funny scenes. There were also side characters that amazed me as well like, Daniel R. McBride's performance as Red. He was also in the movie the Heart Break Kid in my opinion he stole the show. It's nice to see good performances from a fresh faced cast. So if you’re looking for a great movie where you can go laugh and have a great time with your friends then Pineapple Express is the way to go. But for those who take there lives way too seriously and don't know how to have a good laugh I wouldn't suggest seeing this.

Overall I would give it 4 stars out of 4!
Go see it...
