3: The Dale Earnhardt Story (2004)
The Man, The Legend, The Movie
The whole idea behind the Dale Earnhardt movie was to give the back story of his life, the movie did that and so much more. I've read up on this movie, and they wanted to make it more than you run of the mill documentary, they wanted to show the public the man that they loved and for one shattered instant, watched the fall of a NASCAR god. If you don't know what happened to Dale, and report this for 'spoilers', then just punch yourself in the face. The lead role was played by Barry Pepper, and trust me, they did an excellent job on making him look like Dale throughout the movie. It was almost creepy as hell looking at Pepper and thinking "How did Dale... wait, thats not Dale." Also the amount of research they put into the movie itself, it's to show the devotion to Dale. If anyone has anything negative to say about this movie, you'd better bite you tongue, this is a true god, not some over paid, stereotypical basketball player, it's Dale Earnhardt. This movie gets a 10 out of 10.
xXx (2002)
A Damn Good Movie
First some people don't know a good movie when they see one. XXX was the best action/spy/whatever else kind of movie. In order to understand it, you NEED TO BE A VIDEO GAME PERSON. Otherwise you'll be like the people who didn't get it. So if your not between 13 and 20 don't even bother to 'waste you time' and go watch one of you 'good' spy movies the ones my generation doesn't understand.
Second this movie just kicked ass. Not a terribly complex plot, but easy to figure out, but not too simple to be stupid.
A good movie for the young, not the old. For example, the comedy was funny but not hilarious. The extreme stunts were f**king well, extreme. (A moment of silence for Harry O'Connor a guy with the coolest f**king job in Hollywood)
That's all I got, eat three good meals, take one good s**t, and go to bed.
Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (2004)
WOW!! This movie SUCKED!!
Ok, I'm a HUGE Starship Troopers fan. The first movie was the s**t, from its awsome special effects, story line, and tolerable acting. When I found out there was a sequal I s**t a gold brick. Tragically I wasted an hour and a half watching a bunch of dumba** retards stumble about a poorly constructed tower. The only perks was the first thirty seconds of looking at the Columbia Productions logo(or who ever made this waste of a very low budget.) When the movie opened it was a foggy warehouse, in the middle of the nite. When in the first one you could see were they were getting their a**es handed to them on a silver platter.
Hell, I could have done much better with my eyes ripped out, and flushed down a toilet. Which is were this movie should go. Some of you liked it, well you have my pity. If you think a group of people fighting an impossible fight and losing, with their psychic dips**ts who can't predict someone behind them(he's psychic, he saw it coming and wanted to die, I hope.) If its impossible odds you want, then watch Aliens, or the origional again.
The effects were flat out S**T! The guns looked like something you buy at Dollar General, and were did the actual bullets go to? How do you take on an army of blood thirsty bugs with a stun gun. Props, please. They were just slapped together in a hurry.
The blood and gore effects were cool, and so were the bugs(like I said its hard to kill them with tazers.) The in-between scenes 'news flashes' are gone, replaced by only two(one at the begining and end.) In the first one those were funny. A group of scientists probing an alien brian bug was funny, and so were the commercials for the Federation.
Well, thats all I'm sayin'. So eat three good meals, take one good s**t, go to bed, and do it again tomorrow. I'm out.
Starship Troopers (1997)
The Best Gorefest/Action/Sci fi ever... EVER!!
First things first, this was the best movie I have ever seen(next to Heat, or Duel). I first saw it a while ago with my friend and my ex-girlfriend. She was creeped out by it and me and me friend were cracking jokes(I have very strange friends). Anyway, the whole premise of six-legged freak bugs is out there and along with their ability to fart out super heated plasma and magically hit an asteroid to destroy cities on Earth is far fetched. But truth is stranger that fiction. What made this a good movie was the guy who wrote the book directed the movie(Thank God). If some other Hollywood director did it, then it would look like my a$$ wiped sideways(except for John Carpenter, has an old school director who uses actual exsplosives for movie explosions).
The other cool thing is the CGI blend. Someone else on another comment said this about CGI "It takes something real, and takes the real part out of it."(or something like that). And its true. Most CGI are done up close and you can always tell, but in ST. they used it from a far. This made it a whole lot better for the outpost scene and the first intro battle when the freaks are just flooding around, like a morning after a nite of hard drinking(if you can't figure that on out, then you have a problem).
Finally, the little 'news' flashes, like in Robo Cop. The little things are what make this movie great. The little kids stepping on the roaches(not that roach you dumba$$), or the guy who shoots off the freaks leg in a cage, and the scientists who were 'probing' the brain bug. The whole movie was right off a gorefest, then a build up until more blood and gore, and people with one leg or arm. My dad walking the living room during the aftermath of the first fight scene and was like " Did they hire everyone in the state of Califorina to play someone with a missing limb?" and thats what it looked like. So to everyone eat three good meals, take one good s**t, go to bed, and do it again tomorrow. I'm out
Breakdown (1997)
This Movie is the S**t
O.K., First off, this was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is a little like that movie Duel, but with a modern style of doing whatever. Like their new car, the dorky lookin' bad guys(J.T. Walsh is the only one I would take seriously, Earl a dressed up cowboy, and Billy the dorkiest of all. Then that old guy who looks like uncle Jesse from the Duke Boys.) Bad guys aside the plot had no real big holes, most everything happened for a reason. The part that got me is how come these movies make the cops look as intelligent as a pile of s**t. I hate that as much as I hate my english teacher(A LOT of hate there). Anyway, before I say something that'll put me on the blacklist, this is a great movie for that Saturday nite movie fest, and it should be 1st, or 2nd.
Soldier (1998)
For some, A Movie 2 See
Possible Spoiler(for the 2 people who haven't seen it)
First off, I like this movie. I don't know why, I just do. The acting to me was ok, until the dump planet(since we humans love to make trash). To me the people seemed too melodramatic. Don't rag on me for that I just think that.
The parts to watch are the begining, and the end. Right after Todd is dumped onto the planet is where I thought Mad Max. A desolate world, HELLO! When those kids find him, I was like Oh No. Mad Max 3? Anyway, Todd is taken in, he does some stuff, almost kills someone, and is kicked out. Then the geneticaly enhanced soldiers shows up to kick some serious ass, and so does Todd.
The shooting scene is good, but nothing(in any movie) compaired to Al Pacino, Robert De Niro in Heat. Anyway, I like the idea of the dead guy in the scrap heap, a good touch. So was throwing Colonel D***head out of the ship(who didn't want to see that happen?).
This is a good movie for a Saturday nite moviefest, just make it your 3rd or 4th movie to watch.
