Movie Review: The Dark Knight

There are allot of great super-hero movies out there, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, or Batman Begins, each one has a story of it's own, each one has it's own thrills, but none of those movies are as thrilling, or has more original story to the Batman Begins sequel, 'The Dark Knight' which is easily the best super-hero movie ever made.
The Dark Knight delivers everything from having a strong meaning to great action, and that comes with strong acting, powerful storylines, and some powerful emotion, there is a little of that in every super-hero movie, but the Dark Knight brings it all up to levels that anyone would not emotion or expect, it also has something that usual super-hero movies do not have, which is a strong level of darkness, the Dark Knight is a pretty dark movie compared to super-hero movie standards.
The Dark Knight also has something else that is not in many super-hero movies, which is tragedy, the movie has some very tragic scenes, very tragic plot qualities, which all fills up to the movie's darkness, another thing that fills up to the movie's darkness is all the decisions Batman has to make, and all the decisions that the Joker is giving the Gotham law authorities, those decisions are not easily made, and sometimes may not be decided at all, and that was something that added allot to the movie's quality and darkness.
Of course, a movie like this has to have one, or a few major highlights, one perfect example is the acting, each cast member did an excellent job portraying their roles, especially Heath Leger as the Joker, Leger brought acting to the next level with his performance, he was born for this role, he looked like he was actually the Joker, he made the Joker look like he can actually be on front of you, and I did not expect that at all from this movie, or any movie in that matter.
The action is very notable in the movie, there are some exceeding action scenes, that I can just keep watching over and over again, and the excellent thing about the action in this movie is that, there is really nothing out of the ordinary, every action scene has many great charms in it, and many clear reasons on why they did what they did in the action in those scenes.
Another thing to praise in the movie is the character development in the movie, whether it's the good guys, or the villains, you know exactly why the characters do what they do and how do they do it, for example, the Joker, he really has no plans, he just kills, causes mayhem, and another example for perfect character development is Harvey Dent, or Two-face, you know his methods exactly and why does he do those things.
Overall, the Dark Knight is almost flawless, the only flaw in the movie is that you need to watch it more than once to understand it, but otherwise, the action is flawless the plot is very strong, it's dark, it's complex, and more, so all of that resulted to a great unforgettable super-hero movie experience, directed by one of the greatest directors of all-time.

Movie Review: Inception

After watching any of Christopher Nolen's movies, I can't help to admit that i was completely amazed, as well as impressed, each movie I've seen directed by Nolen has exceeded my expectations, and made me look forward to watching it for a second time, of course, Nolan's rise to fame started beck in 05, when 'Batman Begins' came out, and speaking of Batman Begins, in that movie, Nolen made the perfect Batman, as well as one of the best superhero movies, the second Nolen movie I saw was obviously The Dark Knight, which was one of my five all-time favorite movies, and now, there is a new movie by Nolen, which exceeded all my expectations, made me look forward to watching it a second time, and did everything that Nolen did in the past… but better, and that movie is called 'Inception'.
Inception is a movie about dreams, but not just dreams, it goes much deeper than that, and takes gives a totally different view about dreams, it's about entering a dream, and planting or taking information from the dream, of course the movie doesn't just concentrate on that, it mainly concentrates on a character named Dominic Cobb, a person who steals ideas from dreams, but that made him an international fugitive, then later given one chance to free himself, but in order to free himself, he has to perform a very difficult task, which involves him planting an idea in a dream instead of removing it, that process is called 'Inception'.
Inception lived up to the story, it also gave allot of great action scenes which seem totally new and fresh, many great ideas that I think that nobody could have thought of, excellent explanations on how the characters managed to enter dreams, take ideas from the drams, and more, the movie also had many great surprises, and many thrilling mysteries, Inception gave all of that, and more, such some great humor, and very strong and convincing acting performances, especially Leonardo Decaprio's performance as Dominic Cobb.
Inception is completely flawless, it delivered many thrills throughout the entire movie, as well as a very new idea, a very strong ending, many memorable action scenes, some of the best acting performances, and many ideas that I would never want to forget, overall Inception was a masterpiece, as well as Christopher Nolen's best movie, and easily one of the best, and smartest movies of all-time.

Movie Review: SALT

Although 2010 was so far, a great year, there is no ignoring the fact that there are very few new and fresh plot ideas, most of the movies where either remakes, sequels, adoptions, or a repeated idea, and so far, there is one movie that was terrible, 'Robin Hood', and the 2nd worst movie was mediocre 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time', but now that SALT came out, and took Prince Of Persia's spot as second worst of the year, it it's not a good thing, but one good thing about that fact is that 2010 managed to keep the second worst movie up to a mediocre level, which is a step up for movies and general, and it's one way that we can appreciate the mediocre SALT.
SALT is possibly Angelina Jolie's best preformed, and most entertaining movie, a step up from the boring and senseless 'Wanted', a bit better then the mediocre 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith', and a better movie then the poorly preformed 'Lara Croft: Tomb Rader', it's better then all of those movies, but yet it's still a mediocre movie.
The movie definitely has some strong points, such as good action scenes, or powerful acting performances, but at the same time, it does have some minor and major errors, but some of the action, and very strong performances by Jolie and Schreiber, gave me a chance to overlook some of the minor errors in the movie.
The action in the movie is generally good, but the problem with the action in the movie is that some actions scenes look similar or has familiar moves to action scenes in other movies, that tends to get boring some times, also there was too much action in the movie, and that causes the plot to fade away, and it also caused the movie to lack dialog, which is an important factor in any movie.
The movie had a thrilling and entertaining story, but the problem with it is that in some scenes in the movie, I felt that the story fades away from the movie, and that the ploy was used up in a few movies and some TV shows, but the most entertaining factors in the story is that although most of the action made the story seem like it was fading away, but some action scenes get very thrilling, also the movie had an entertaining ending which gives us some questions.
SALT was definitely entertaining, but the movie's entertainment was very limited for a few various reasons, whether it includes the plot, or the actions in the movie, overall, SALT is a mixed movie, with good and worthless factors, and I also admit that I was disappointed by the movie, I expected it to be allot better than just mediocre.

TV Season Review: South Park Season 12

South Park has been going on for 12 seasons, 11 of those seasons where great, but after the greatest seasons 6 to 11, the show lost allot of its quality on plot, and especially humor, so season 12 resulted to be a bad season.
Season 12 was poor, but It still had one or two great episodes, they where the hilarious take on Chinese and Indiana Jones "The China Problem" and another hilarious episode which proposes that Obama and McCain are joule thieves "About All Night…" Those were the only two episodes of the seasons which felt about right as South Park episodes.
Obviously, season 12 has allot of negatives, a few great examples to that was "Elementary School Musical" a High School Musical parody that was expected to be funny, "Brittney's new Look" was one of the series' worst episodes, and "Pandemic 2" was a huge disappointment, it's hard to believe, a season had all that errors.
So now it comes to the overall review of this pointless season, it was a big disappointment, and I never expected anything like this from South Park, they were going through the same path as the Simpons(the Simpsons was the best comedy of the 20th century) and South Park Where the best in the 21st century.. well at least until this season came along.

TV Season Review: South Park Season 13

Season 13 of South Park was certainly, no doubt an improvement from the 12th season, but the only question about it is: was it the improvement I was expecting?
I'd have to say no, although it did improve it still had allot of struggles, it still lacked creativity, and still lacked humor, I think that it's needless to say South Park is fading away, but perhaps this season, due to its improvement may give us an idea that the show is preparing for a long, step- by-step improvement, or perhaps, the just ran out of ideas, only season 14 will tell.
The best episodes in the season are "Dead Celebrates" I very enjoyable spoof at celebrities that recently died, "Fish sticks" another solid episode which is clearly targeted at Kanye West, and "Dancing With Smurphs" which seemed to be the only creative episode in the season.
The worst is in "Eat, Queef, Pray" a stupid effort to make people laugh using farts and queefs, "Whale Whors" which seemed to be a good episode, but again, a failure, and "Fatbeard" a mediocre, pirate based episode, I have one question, how many shows made pirate based episodes?
Overall, the entire season lacked creativity and cleverness, but was fair in humor, but I hoped for better, although it was an improvement over the last season, it was still poor, but with a few highlights, I think that this season is either telling me that South Park is a dead comedy, or it's making a slow improvement.

TV Season Review: The Simpons Season 21

Season 21 of the Simpsons is done, and might I say that this was a pretty fun ride, the Simpsons definitely brought back there A-Game this season, and proved that the Simpsons can still be a great and powerful show.
The season starts with "Homer the Whopper" which was in my opinion, the best season premier I've seen in a long time, it really brought back lots of laughs and memories, then the second episode "Bart Gets a Z" was another very solid and well balanced episode, it certainly had allot of great laughs, like most the season.
However, the season's best lies far higher than "Homer the Whopper" or "Bart Gets a Z", we got to see Kelsey Gleamer in one of his best appearances as sideshow bob in "The Bob next Door" a hilarious face-off referenced episode, the creative "To Servial with Live" which was hilarious in every way you could think of, "Judge Me Tender" which was a hilarious season finale, and other solid hilarious episodes include "The Squirt and the Whale", "Chief of Hearts", "Oh, Brother Where Bart Thou" and allot more episodes that brought the show back to it's prime.
But not all episodes where completely powerful, there were some passable to decent episodes as well, such as "Rednecks & Broomsticks" which was a bit enjoyable, "Pranks and Greens" which was decent, but a disappointment, and "The Color Yellow" which had a strong plot, but the humor was not there.
Overall, I'd say this season hit the show's best, or almost did, but there is no complaining that this was truly the comeback we have been waiting for, and truly, it's the best season I've seen since season 8, that's 13 years and the Simpsons have not been this good, I hope next season will be as big of a winner as this season, I have my hopes up.

TV Season Review: The Simpsons Season 20

20 Years Ago, Matt Groaning Created the Simpsons, Now They're Still Airing, But However, They Aren't As Good As Before, This Season Did Help Us Forget About The Mediocre Seasons 19 And 18, But It Wasn't Enough To Remind People Why They Went On For 20 Years.
The 20th Season Started As The Worst Season Yet, From "Sex Pies And Idiot Scrapes" Which Was A Mediocre Episode, To "Lisa The Drama Queen" Which Was One Of My All Time Least Favorite Episodes, But Between Those Two Episodes, Lies 7 Episodes Which Stands Between Mediocre And Bad Episodes, Going To Ratings Between 1 And 7, That Was Not Enough, Things Where Clearly Going Bad Until HD Was Introduced In The Show.
Since the Show Went On HD, There Where Allot Of Improvements, From Animation, To Humor, To Plots to Everything Else On The Show, Starting With The Hilarious "Take My Life, Please" Continuing To The Next Episode "How The Test Was Won" Which Was A Smart, Hilarious, Classic, Than Ending The Season At The 21st Episode "Coming To Homerica" Which Was A Smart, Funny, And Creative Episode.
Overall Half The Season Was A Success, HD Did Make It Everything Clearer And Better, It Was Funnier, And The Writes Found Ideas That Reminded Me Of The First 10 Seasons, There Is Nothing To Hope For Other Than That They Continue What They Are Doing, And Keep Making Great Episodes, All Though The Season Started With Almost Messing Up The Show's Legacy, They Quickly Made An Improvement, And Possibly Saved The Show From Being Canceled.

TV Season Review: The Simpsons Season 19

The Simpsons are 19 years old, but the question is, did they keep their complete talent for their 19th year? The answer to that is obvious, you can find the answer just by watching each and every episode In the season, than you will know that the answer is obviously the Simpsons where not as good, and I'm beginning to think that there loosing it.
The Season kicks off with "He Loves To Fly And He Do'hs" a mediocre episode with a fair amount of laughs, than "Homer of Seville" an episode with a good start, but a bad continuation, the best of the season is in "Funeral of a Friend" a very solid episode with an excellent episode by Kelsey Gleamer as Sideshow Bob, another good episode is "Dial N For Nerder" which may be the best episode of the season, other good episodes include "Eternal Moonshine Of Simpson Mind", "Little Orphan Millie" and "Apocalypse Cow", the season's worst is in "Love, Springfield Style" which is the worst episode of the series, "That 90s Show" was a boring episode which, unfortunately changes the history of the Simpsons, and the season's last episode "All About Lisa", a very good episode to say the least.
Overall, most of the season was passable, there were a few episodes worth watching, and a few that would just waste your time, I hope to see improvements in future seasons, and not repeat a season like this.

Movie Review: Fantastic Four

Let's take a look at some of the best comic book adaption originals, movies such as Spider-Man and X-Men, and obviously there are some bad original comic book adoptions such as Daredevil and the Hulk, and now there is a new edition to the originals, the Fantastic Four, which was adapted from one of the highest rated comic books, is now a movie.
The movie mainly circles around each member of the Fantastic Four discovering and developing their powers, as well as trying to get rid of them, honestly it's not a very infesting plot, but the movie surprised me, and turned me into thinking 'what will happen next', and also a secondary plot which circles around Dr. Doom discovering his powers, and getting mad with power, it was honestly a more entertaining plot, and Doom's part of the movie lived up to its expectations, and what's more entertaining about the movie is that both plots have the same climax, which was a very entertaining fight scene between the Fantastic Four and Dr. Doom.
The movie is mainly a combination of action, allot of science fiction, and a little comedy, but the problem with it is that there is not as much action as I expected in this movie, but however the small parts of action in this movie was worth waiting for.
The movie does have a few flaws, such as the fact that I barely understand half what Mr. Fantastic says, speaking of Mr. Fantastic, Loan Gruffudd's performance as Mr. Fantastic was mediocre at best, also there were some mediocre and needless scenes in the movie.
As we all know, the Fantastic Four movie was a good, but far from perfect movie, it has many strong scenes, and some entertaining storylines, but at the same time it has some out of this world boring scenes, some dumb script writing, and not enough action, but overall, it's a very strong movie, with a few minor to major flaws.

Movie Review: The Sorcerer's Apprentace

There are allot of movies that now include magic, some successful, some unsuccessful, the most successful movie, or movie series about magic is the Harry Potter series, none of the other movies about magic goes near the quality of the Harry Potter series, the only question is: did 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' reach that level? I'd say it did not go close, for a few minor and major errors.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice has a thrilling story, it mainly circles around Balthazar Blake, a sorcerer, trying to save the world from an evil sorcerer named Maxium Horvath, who is trying to free an evil sorceress from a doll shaped prison, but Balthazar can't stop Horvath alone, so he recruits a collage student named Dave Stutler , in order to teach him sorcery, and help him defeat Horvath, but the problem with that whole story is that it was not enough for a 2 hour movie, the story was too slow, and also had some needless filler scenes.
There was also some weak acting and some needless characters , such as Becky Barnes, a somewhat pointless character , played poorly by Teresa Palmer, there was also another weak character named Drake Stone, who was also portrayed poorly by Toby Kebbell ,but other than those two characters and actors, most of the cast did a good job, especially Nicolas Cage as Balthazar, and Alfred Molina, who did a great job as the villain 'Doc Ock' in Spider-Man 2, also did a great job as the villain in this movie, Maxium Horvath.
The movie did have some great moments, allot of great action scenes, as well as some scenes that showed a great relation between science and magic, but at the same time there were also some extremely stupid, and needless scenes, such as the scene where Dave uses magic to clean his lab, that scene was nothing but stupid, still, the movie's good scenes are far more than the movie's bad scenes.
Overall, The Sorcerer's Apprentice clearly has a few minor and major errors, such as some bad acting, a slow story, and some stupid scenes, but the movie's positives where certainly good enough to give this movie the right about of strength to make this movie decent, and enjoyable.

Album Review: Rehanna- Rated R

Through the year of 2009, music was improving, but to what limit? 2009 was improvement but to a certain degree, it did not reach the music quality of the first three years of the 21st century, but still it was close, but that's not what's being reviewed, this is just an introduction to the fairly mixed 'Rated R' album by Rehanna.
Rehanna's latest album definitely is subjectable, it takes Rehanna to a darker place, as by what I understood from the lyrical content, but there were still some tracks, that are either lighter, or more sexual then the rest of the album.
As for the genral musical content, it's mixed, but if it came out in 2008, it would be one of the best of that year, but some albums of 2009 are far too good for this album to be in the list, out of 13 tracks. Maybe half of them are mixed, the stand out best of the album are 'Hard' which had great vocals by Rehanna, as well as a very strong verse by Young Jeezy, the album's first single, 'Russian Rolette' was also strong, other good tracks include 'Rude Boy', 'Rockstar 101' and 'Stupid in Love' which are all considered as second level tracks for the album.
There are also a few terrible tracks on the album, such as the track that had an old concept, which was repetitive, and mindless 'Te Amo' or the poor rhythmless 'Photographs' which features Will I Am, which did not do a very good job with the song, and as for most of the other tracks on the album, they where all mostly mixed.
Overall, a fair review for this album is to say that it was passable, a bit better than mediocre, but it certainly is not up to my expectations unfortionetly, but otherwise, this album is probably the best music I heard Rehanna do, so in my opinion, compared to her previous work, it's great, but compared to other artists is passable.

Movie Review: Spider-Man 3

There are two ways to make sequels, right ways, in movies such as 'Spider-Man 2', and wrong ways, such as this movie, 'Spider-Man 3', a sequel that fails to reach most of its expectations, especially comparing to its procedures.
Spider-Man 3 had many mistakes, one of them was adding too much of everything, too many story lines, too many villains, that's just too much to handle, the storylines where about Harry Osborn as the 'New Goblin' getting revenge, Peter and MJ's romantic life, Eddie Brock competing with Peter, the disappointing symbiote story line, and the only story line that actually worked: Sandman' s part of the story.
Another good example of the disappointment of this movie was the bad script, a perfect example was before Flint Marko was mutated to Sandman, when the scientists where doing there sand mutation experiment, one of the scientists said that there was a change in the mass, but then, the completely stupid quote was when the other scientist said 'it’s Probably A Bird' the problem with that quote is quite simple: birds do not come out at night, bad dialogs between characters was another perfect example on why Spider-Man 3, such as the scene when a waitress asks Harry how was the pie, he replies 'So Gooooooood!' which was a totally stupid, random, and useless line in the movie.
The movie also had a bad romantic plot, first it starts off with Peter having MJ, then Harry having MJ, then in one scene both fight for her, what is this a teen soap opera? Another good example of the bad romantic plot, was the extremely boring and corny between Peter and MJ, and a useless scene when Harry and MJ dance in the kitchen, that was really bad for the movie.
Also another thing to criticize negatively to the movie was the highly negative symbiote plot, at first, it was good, it was supposed to drive Peter's negative characteristics, such as the subway scene, the Symbiote drove him to try to kill sandman, then it starts getting bad and stupid for a long period, but the question is, when does it get bad? It's simple, when Peter attacks Harry for 'taking' MJ from him, then it gets stupider when Peter starts dancing on the streets, and finally the last scene of that embarrassing streak of stupidity, was in the Jazz Club scene, when Peter starts dancing with another girl in the Jazz Club to make MJ jealous, that was the stupidest scene, and thankfully that last stupid scene in the movie… until the dull and boring ending.
Most of the acting in the movie was negative, in fact, here are a few pieces of advice for movie creators, never let Toby Maguire act like a disco guy, never give James Franco a job as a villain, and never hire Topher Grace to act in any super-hero movie again, but there was one actor's performance that I actually enjoyed, Thomas Haden Church's performance as Sandman, he really brought a large emotional role to the movie, as well as a great role as someone being bad, but having good intentions.
Although the movie had allot of major difficulties, it also had some great positives, such as Sandman's part of the movie, Thomas Haden Church's performance as Sandman, and a few great fight scenes, especially the final battle, the one with Venom and Sandman.
Spider-Man 3 is generally a bad movie, full of mistakes and problems, but it did have a few positive qualities that made it a bad movie instead of a terrible movie, overall, Spider-Man 3 is the last choice anyone would want for a sequel, and as for the good fight scenes, watch them on YouTube or something, and don't waste your time actually watching the whole movie waiting for those good scenes to come.

Movie Review: Shrek Forever After

Shrek Forever After is the fourth, and final installment to the Shrek movie franchise, a franchise that definitely had allot of struggles, repetitive plots and stories, and a number of un-funny jokes, most of the problems that this franchise faced where mostly in the third, the first and second Shrek movies where great, but the third Shrek lost the franchise's touch, it took the Shrek series to a darker and weaker side, but after the third Shrek movie, the fourth and final Shrek came out, giving the Shrek series some much needed light, although it was not nearly as entertaining as the first and second Shrek movie.
This Shrek movie goes into a different story line, different from a plot that included saving the princes or something like that, I consider that as one of the main hallmarks of the movie, because they tried a new idea for the Shrek series, but the problem with that idea is that it was very predictable, when Shrek finds out that he has 24 hours until he disappears, we all would know that at the end of the movie Shrek gets his way and 'lives happily ever after', predictable movies are okay, but the problem with this movie is that it was too predictable.
The movie was also kinda funny, it had some great jokes, but not as much jokes, or jokes that where as funny as the jokes in the first and second movie, there were a few entertaining scenes as well, but however, some of these scenes had background music that did not fit in with the scenes in the movie.
The movie also had some stupid scenes, such as a scene where witches where dancing in a disco place, that scene really brought some heavy stupidity to the movie, but some of the good scenes in the movie made the stupid scenes a bit forgettable.
Another problem with the movie was some of the weak and stupid characters, such as that flout playing bounty hunter, that was probably one of the dumbest characters I've seen in a movie, but at least some of the great usual characters in the movie managed to cover up some of the mistakes of those weak characters.
I think this Shrek movie really did shed some light after the third movie, but however, it's not enough light to get the movie up to the quality of the first and second Shrek movies, the movie actually shed enough light to give us a good memory of the Shrek series, although the movie did have some stupid scenes, some weak characters, a few unfunny jokes, and a predictable plot, but the positives in the movie where good enough to make this a fair movie.

Movie Review: Spider-Man 2

As we all know, Spider-Man was a very entertaining and successful movie, now it's double the success and entertainment with the sequel 'Spider-Man 2' which is one of the few sequels to surpass the original, it goes with movies such as 'Toy Story 2' or the second Harry Potter 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' all of those movies surpassed the original, and Spider-Man 2 is one of them.
The movie's cast is very similar to the first, still starring Toby Maguire as Spider-Man, and Kristen Dunst as Marry Jane Watson, and a new cast member was put in the movie, Alfred Molina as Doctor Otto Octavius or 'Doc Ock', like the first, the acting was on a high note, and the characters where brought in nicely to the story.
The story that was within the movie was excellent, there where a few very entertaining plot elements in the story, such as Peter Parker loosing his powers, or Doc Ock building a fusion reaction machine for a second time due his failure of making a successful fusion reaction at the beginning of the movie , and that was the main reason why he became a villain in the first place, it was not to take over the world, not for wealth, but to make a machines, that's what i call a high quality villain.
Like the first, the movie had allot of great and entertaining action, allot of great and effective fight scenes that just keep getting better and better, but the difference with this one is that there was more action than the first, the action was more breathtaking and entertaining than the first movie's action, and generally the movie did more of everything.
As i just mentioned, the movie did more of everything, the movie even had more badly written love scenes, but to make this point clearer, is that the movie had as much love scenes as the first, but the love scenes in this movie are probably the only things that you call 'not as good as the original.'
Spider-Man 2 was gen rally better than the first, better story lines, such as Doc Ock's story line, or Peter Parker stops being Spider-Man, there was better action, almost everything was better, but however, the movie's mistakes where ether as bad as the first one's or worse, but otherwise the movie generally has better quality, overall, like the first, Spider-Man 2 is one of the all-time best comic book adaptions.

Movie Review: The A-Team

Summer 2010 was all adoptions, remakes, and sequels, at the beginning I thought it was a lack of creativity, and I was proven wrong, the creativity is within the story lines of the movies, whether it's an adaption or a remake or a sequel, and I think the 'A-Team' completely certifies the creativity in remakes, adoptions or sequels this year.
The A-Team is an adaption for the 80s TV series, and this year there are allot of 80s adoptions or remakes, for example, the Karate Kid was an 1984 movie remade this year, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was adapted from a video game first made in the 80s, and I think it's fair to say that two out of those three adoptions where great, the 'A-Team' and 'The Karate Kid'.
This movie is the best and funniest movie this summer, it's an action comedy that just keeps giving people more and more throughout the movie, more action, more comedy, more everything, the movie was also smart, especially with the planning within the story lines, again this was another example of the 'more and more' in the movie, so after more action and more comedy, comes 'more interesting and entertaining plans' so I think that this was the main reason of the movie's success.
Other than entertaining action and comedy, the A-Team also gave us an entertaining story, the movie's about the A-Team being suspected for killing an army general and they try to prove there innocents, which was an entertaining plot and an excellent way to do a movie, but however, in some points in the movie, the plot fades away a bit.
The acting was also great, weather it was an individual performance or it was the entire cast, they all brought their characters to life, but my favorite performance out of the many great performances was either Quinton Jackson as B.A Baracus, or Bradley Cooper as "Faceman" Peck, or Liam Neeson as "Hannibal" Smith.
As of a general overall review, I'd say that the A-Team is the best movie of the summer, it had top quality action, great humor, and it was generally a smart movie, this movie would have been perfect, if it wasn't for one small spike, but otherwise, I'd say that the A-Team really deserve to have the 'A' at the beginning to its name, because the movie was clearly 'A' material.

Movie Review: The Simpsons Movie

The Simpsons, the longest running primetime television series of all-time, just made a debut on the big screen, but before I talk about the movie, I'll just talk about the show a bit, the Simpsons where the best show in television, they went from the best to an honestly mediocre show during the thirteenth season, but that was not when the show started to struggle, it actually started to struggle during the ninth season, now here, in the move, after watching seasons nine to eighteen, I have to admit, there was light, the Simpsons movie was better than any Simpsons episode I have ever seen.
The movie had a great environmental concept, which was Simpsonized and turned into a funny idea, it's about Springfield put in a doam due to the high amount of pollution in lake Springfield, and guess who caused all this? Springfield was right on the edge until guess what? Homer dumped pig crap in the lake, that whole concept was hilarious, like the whole movie, the unique thing about this movie that it was non-stop fun, it did not get boring at all.
The movie had various funny concepts, such as Spider-Pig, Pig-Crap, President Shwartzenager was a hilarious idea as well, basically the whole movie made the cut, but of course, not all the credit goes to Homer and recurring characters, the scene when Bart was Skeat boarding naked was a huge laugh, as well as chief Wiggum's scene in lake Springfield was a huge laugh, and who could forget, 'Giant TV Man' or let's address him with his real name, Russ Cargail, was a funny addition to be the 'villain' for this movie had some great scenes as well.
The movie also had some very memorable quotes, such as 'Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig does whatever a Spider-Pig does' was a hilarious quote, also 'Thank the lord for this bountiful PENIS!', and Rod and Todd's prayer 'this bountiful penis… amen' was just a huge laugh, I literally teared from laughing after watching that scene.
The movie did not have any errors, but it did have some minor, shall we call it 'hiccups' such as Sideshow Bob not having any scene, and although there where allot of memories in the movie, there was too little screen time in Springfield's 'landmarks', such as 'The Quickie Mart', 'Moe's Tavern', 'Springfield Elementary School', and a few more, well the entire point is that I kinda expected some scenes in those places, seeing that it's a one hour and a half movie and all.
Without these very minor hiccups, the Simpsons movie was certainly a very fun and enjoyable ride, with many great jokes, scenes, and laughs that really take you back to the classics, let's hope future episodes stay this way.

Movie Review: Spider-Man

Marvel's most famous and successful superhero to date has his own blockbuster, which was a very successful movie that has a perfect balance between Action, Drama, Si-Fi, and romance, not many movies can store more than one genre in a movie, it's a bit difficult, but it was well done in Spider-Man.
Spider-Man is also known as 'the Amazing Spider-Man' and this movie proved why, it's because there was a great script, great acting performances, especially with Toby Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and William Dafore as Norman Osborn/ The Green Goblin, they both where perfect fits for those two characters, the movie also had excellent action and fight scenes, very strong effects, and a powerful story line to go with it.
The movie was also wiser then other superhero movies, especially because of one important quote that said 'With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility' which was in my opinion, one of the most important topics in our life, because when somebody has allot of power, weather it's with business or something else, they have to be responsible of it, it's there responsibility, and the quote is also very relatable, like most of the movie, that's one very important point that separates the movie from other super-hero movies.
But the movie does have a few minor deficients, and a few points that are not negatives, but they would have made the movie better, such as Peter Parker developing his powers, they showed too little of that, and i think that they should have showed more on that, also the movie was not dark enough, it needed to be a bit darker to be a bit better, and as for the deficients, some scenes got too emotional, and some of the dialog was boring, but otherwise it was a very strong movie.
Overall, Spider-Man is one of the most entertaining and most relatable movies, but it did need a few pointers to be better, and some negatives that needed to be fixed, but otherwise the movie was smart, entertaining, relatable, and i think that Sam Raimi created the perfect Spider-Man character, as well as the setting.

Movie Review: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

The first Fantastic 4 was a cool movie, I really enjoyed it, but the question is, how on earth can anyone enjoy 'Rise of the Silver Surfer'? The movie had way to many glitches to be actual good movie, and also they rushed everything in this movie so it can fit in an hour and a half, tell me, is that the cause of all this movie's problems?
If I were to answer this movie, I'd say yes, because well, the movie was totally rushed, it's like the director Sead 'Ok, Let's Finish this Quickly' because the movie went way to fast, it was missing allot of important elements, it's stupidity goes over the roof, and also, if it had a plot, the plot won't work because the movie was just completely rushed from start to finish.
Also the movie not only suffers from lack of plot, but also unfortionetly suffers from lack of action, I mean, a whole hour there is that strange silver surfer thing going on, Mr. and Mrs. Fantastic's wedding, Dr. Doom suddenly coming back, but here is one good question? Where did he come from? The reason of all this was of course rushing the time, time rushing as I like to call it.
Although the movie was mostly a very boring and unusually un-entreating movie, it did have a rather passable ending, there was not any pressure up to it, but at least it gave me a small smile to say the least.
The effects did not change from the first, the acting was mediocre, again, another reason why the first was at least a million times better than this piece of junk, and lastly the lack of plot, time development, plot development, and character development.
Overall, I'd call Spider-Man 3 a 'Masterpiece' comparing to this movie, Spider-Man 3 was bad, but not as bad as this, I think it's fair to say that this movie perfectly fits in with 'Cat Women', or 'Daredevil' in one of the worst comic book adoptions of all-time.

Movie Review: The Incredible Hulk

After watching the 2003 movie 'The Hulk' I did not really want to watch this one, due to the first one's failure, but it's amazing on how comic book adoptions can surprise a person, sometimes, when you expect a comic book adaption to be bad, it turns out to be a good movie, but sometimes when you expect a comic book movie adaption to be good, it actually turns out to be a great movie, and 'The incredible Hulk' is a perfect example on how movies are not always what you think they are.
The movie tries to go closer to the TV show's approach on the begging, that took me back, and with most this movie, I really felt like Bruce Banner is a real person, Edward Norton really fits as Banner, most of the movie is following the idea that Banner is being chased by the army, you know, being hunted, that was done in the first one, but the first one was corny, this time it was the real deal, it actually made the idea of a person running away from the police smart and creative, and when Banner transforms to the Hulk, you know something good is about to happen.
The movie was not just event after event, the movie actually went through just one event on the main idea of the movie, that was one reason why this was a great movie, some other reasons include the great effects, good acting, great acting, but however, the movie was not 100% great, the movie still had some struggles, the problem with this one is that, well, there were some boring scenes that were not really needed for the movie generally, the movie just generally faced that problem every forty five minutes or so.
The movie included excellent fight scenes as well, weather it was the one against the army, weather it was the one Brazil, they where all great, but the best one was obviously the end, the one with Hulk and Abomination, that fight gave many things to show, great effects, allot of good action, and espeasialy the idea that it was two equally matched 'Monsters' where fighting, that all seemed uncreative, but it takes creativity to make it a great fight scene,
Overall, the movie was a handful of great surprises, although there were a few glitches, a few major, the movie still managed to really entertain, due to the great scenes being very powerful, and more than the scenes that were not so great, but none the less, the movie was a great, fun ride to enjoy, not a perfect movie, but if it wasn't for the glitches, believe me, it would be close to perfect.

Movie Review: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

These days, anything can be adapted to movies, for example, Pirates of the Caribbean was adapted from a ride to a movie, various super-hero comic books where adapted to movies, novels are adapted to movies, and video games are adapted to movies, based on what I saw, comic books are the best adoptions, and videogames are the worst, so I hoped that 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' can prove me wrong, but the movie still showed me that video game adoptions are the worst.
'Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time' was an acceptable movie, it had slow boring scenes, and great entertaining scenes, it had major and minor problems, but at the same time it had a few positives that made up for some of the movie's errors.
The movie mainly circles around 'Dastan' who is the prince of Persia finding a dagger with magic sand that takes the holder of the dagger back in time, it's a good idea, but it one major problem: the movie did not live up to the story's expectations.
The movie had a few major problems, starting with the whole story, the movie did not really follow the story very well, that tampered with the movie's quality, another problem was the acting, although Jake Gylanhall's, and Gemma Arterton did great jobs acting in the movie, most of the other actors did not do very well, especially Bill Kingsely as Nizam, Dastan's uncle, Kingley's acting was not good at all in the movie, one reason is because he seemed to awake and jittery.
Some scenes in the movie, and some ideas where not very good, one of which is the scene in the sand storm, not one piece of sand touched any of the characters, also the movie had a lame and boring ending, Dastan goes back in time and fixes everything, the problem with that is that this idea got dry, it was used too much by movies and TV shows.
But the movie did have some major positives that brought the movie up to an acceptable level, Gylanhall's and Arterton's acting performances where very powerful, there were a few strong fight scenes, and there were some very enjoyable scenes.
Now I think it's fair to say that 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' was acceptable, passable, and at the same time, a letdown, I expected allot more from this movie, and it did not give me what I expected, so I think it's fair to say, by what you read in my review, that 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' was an overall acceptable movie.

Album Review: Drake- Thank Me Later

Drake's "Thank me Later" was an album, which I thought everyone expected it to be a good album, but unfortunately, the album was a disappointing piece of garbage, the album was stupid and pointless, and should not be heard by anyone.
Drake starts the summer off with a very poor album, his 3 time delayed project was unfitting for the delay to say the least, he went to ways that should not have went(music wise) especially because this is a debut album, and I think he should have played it safe at the beginning, and tried the more complicated music later in his career.

Songs such as "Show me a Good Time" and "Shut it Down" where clearly some meaningful songs, but however, they totally sucked, the songs where lyrical, but they did not have any rhythm what so ever, and lyrics need the rhythem to sound good, songs like "Fancy", "Up All Night", and "Light Up" truthfully felt like Drake, and surprisingly T.I, Jay-Z, and Nikki Minaj where all just screaming out sentences that rhymed, the lyrics had no meaning or rhythemly at all, that did not work for Drake, or anyone, tell me, who likes hearing people scream out words that rhyme? But the whole point is, these songs, like most of this so called "album" where trash.

The album had mostly embarrassing tracks, but there was one track that was actually one of my all-time favorites, "Over" which was a simply incredible track overall, but even that wasn't enough to make the album better than trash.

Overall, I'd say that Drake completely failed in his debut album, he continuously made a fool out of himself in this album, I hope to never see it again, and one more comment, the album was called "Thank me Later", so I agree with Drake, i should thank him later, but when is later? "later" is when he makes an album that is not the worst album I have ever listened to.

Movie Review: Knight & Day

There are a few kinds of action movies, normal action movies, drama action movies, hardcore action movies, and probably the best kind of action movies, comedy actions, but of course that depends on if it's hardcore comedy within the action movies in some movies such as 'Rush Hour 3' or 'Tropic Thunder', and lower-comedy action movies such as the two 'Iron Man' movies, or 'Hancock', but the problem is that not all lower-comedy action movies are successful, so far the only lower-comedy success I remember are the two Iron Man movies, other than that there are not many successful lower-comedy action movies… until now, 'Knight and Day' showed lower-comedy action movies it it's near best, and proved it's self to be a very powerful movie.
The movie stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, it's a decent cast, but their performance was somewhat mediocre in some scenes, but otherwise there performance, and most of the cast's performance was mostly great.
The action in the movie was outstanding as well, there where great fight scenes in the movie that did not disappoint at all, the action stayed fresh and solid for most the movie.
The movie is a lower-comedy action movie, so it has to be at least a bit funny, there where not very much jokes in this movie, but most of the jokes in the movie where overall hilarious.
Knight and Day is generally a great movie, but there are a few minor flaws, in some scenes the acting was not very good, the plot did not really have a major role in the movie, and the movie honestly had a bit of a corny ending.
Otherwise, the movie was very strong, had some great action, and had some really funny scenes, the problem with this movie is that the minor errors where close to being major errors, but the great action and comedy somewhat saved the movie from being flat at some points, but overall, it's a strong movie.

Movie Review: X- Men Origins: Wolverine

Three years after X-Men: The Last Stand, the creators of X-Men decided to make a prequel to the successful X-Men series, a sequel about their best character, Wolverine, the guy with the three claws sticking out of his hands.
The entire 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' movie circles around Wolverine, so by knowing that you know that the movie will be great, but there is just one question, did it live up to it's expectations?
The movie did live up to it's expectations most of the time, but in some arias the movie fell a bit short, some scenes where needless, and some of the actors acting where either mediocre or a bit weak.
The movie had good action, as well as a good story,it went on the right direction in forming the character of Wolverine as well as the history of Wolverine.
As Hue Jackman did a good job in the X-Men series, he did an as-good job in this movie, his acting was one important element out of many important elements that made this movie successful.
Look, at the end of this movie, we will all be satisfied, because this movie proves that we only need one of the X-Men for a good quality movie, and it also showed us a little about Wolverine's life, but overall, with the minor errors, it's a strong movie.

Movie Review: Robin Hood

Usually in summer, there are good movies, and obviously, there are bad movies, most bad movies in summer are usually expected to be good movies, not expected to be bad movies, if it was like that then why would people watch those movies, that would make no sense, why would someone watch a movie if they have a feeling that it would suck? But what I'm trying to say is that, many of the bad movies in summer, usually come from the expectations of those movies being good movies, and a perfect example of that whole idea is 'Robin Hood'.
Robin Hood really surprised me, not in a good way, but in a bad way, the movie broke down almost every expectation I had of this movie was literally broken down into tiny unfindable pieces, and that is something that any movie should not have.
The movie did not have any plot or story behind it, the movie was all event after event, then the continuation of an event then another event, that pretty much sums up the whole idea of the movie, there was no plot or story behind it.
Robin Hood could very well be the worst movie of all-time, bad acting, no story, no excitement, but it is not the worst movie I have ever seen, for one reason, it was Russell Crowe's acting, he did a great job playing Robin Hood, and may possibly the only person who deserves credit for this 'movie'.
Overall, Robin Hood was garbage, there was only one positive quality out of so many negative qualities, if you ask me, this is no way for any person to spend his or her movie time, because this movie sucks, it's total trash, let's face it, if it's not the worst movie of all-time, it's the worst summer movie of all-time.

This April, a new album by a new artist came to shelves, it was B.o.B's "The Adventures Of Bobby Ray" album, and it was a great alum, best of the year so far, if anyone asks me I would say he's going to win the best new artist at the Grammies this year.
Ok, let's take a look at this album, it's a debut album, it was solid in almost every way, and the album was allot different and deeper than I expected, but different in a good way, not in a bad way.
The album has everything, pop-rap in "Nothin' On You" and "Magic", R'n'B in "Ghost in the Machine" and "The Kids", a mixture between Emo-Rock and rap in "Airplanes" and "Airplanes Pt.2", Straight hip-hop in "Past my Shades" and "Bet I", Techno-Rap in "Higher", all of these are very solid tracks, but I have to say the best was "Airplanes Pt.2" think about it, it's lyrical, it's deep, it's everything needed In a song, it also has stronger, deeper lyrics by Eminem.
The album also had a few week points, particularly in songs like "5th dimension" and "Satellite" both where decent tracks, I'm not going to say there good, but there decent, there good for one listen or two.
Overall, "The Adventures Of Bobby Ray" was the best debut album I've heard since the "Slim Shady LP", but unlike the Slim Shady LP, "The Adventures Of Bobby Ray" was not a good, but at the same time it's allot deeper and more lyrical than the "Slim Shady LP", I think that B.o.B's got a huge career coming for him if he keeps this up.

Movie Review: The Karate Kid

Through out what I've seen this summer so far, out of the three movies(Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3, and the Karate Kid) I'd say that the Karate Kid is the worst, but that does not stop it from being a fun and enjoyable movie.
The Karate Kid stars Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith, and Jackie Chan, they both did great jobs, but I have to admit Jaden Smith started in a low note, but he made up for it later in the movie.
The first hour of the movie was boring, and not enjoyable, possibly one of my least favorite introductions in movie history, but that will effect more on the movie's negativity then 'Iron Man 2' or 'Toy Story 3', because in those two moves, the slow start was only for 10 to 20 minutes, while in the Karate Kid, it went for an entire hour, and that really effected on the movie's groove.
The movie really started to get interesting when Jackie Chan's character fought the bullies, that was an intensely effective scene, and finally set the movie onto it's feet.
There was also humor n the movie, there were some seriously hilarious comedic scenes in the movie, especially when Jackie Chan's character told Jaden Smith's character to constantly take off his jacket, put it on the rack, put it on the floor, then pick it up, and put it on the rack again, that scene was funny, and it lead to some great fighting abilities.
The action in the movie was also great, the Karate fighting sequences really brought in energy for this movie, and it was also not like the usual Karate fighting that you see in cartoons either, meaning that it was not corny.
There was another minor negative n the movie, the plot was too predictable, any movie that has a predictable plot is not as enjoyable as the movies that have unpredictable plots, but that did not affect so much on the movie's quality.
Overall, the movie may be the worst summer movie I've seen so far, but it certainly is more enjoyable then summer movie's I've seen last year, with one major error, and for one minor error, the movie did well, but I think it could have done better.

Album Review: Jay-Z- The Blueprint 3

Jay-Z is a rapper, like all rappers, he releases albums, but not twelve albums, the Blueprint 3 is Jay-Z's twelfth solo album, his return from a one year retirement, i actually hoped that this time his return from retirement would actually bring him back, it partly did, but it's not what i hoped for.
The Blueprint 3 is the album following 'Kingdom Come', and 'American Gangster' the two lowest albums in Jay-Z's career, and the Blueprint 3 is to say at least, somewhat a comeback, not a complete comeback, but it's not a very good comeback.
The Blueprint 3 is a group of 16 tracks, almost each track has a guest appearencre, the only ones that don't are 'D.O.A', 'Thank You' and 'Venus Vs. Mars' two of these three songs are great, but 'Venus Vs. Mars' Sucked.
There are a few great collaborations, Jay-Z worked with Kanye West and Rehanna in 'Run This Town' which was my favorite on the album, he also worked with Alisha Keas on 'Empire State of Mind' another very solid track.
There are also bad collaborations, such as 'Hate' which features Kanye West, and 'Forever Young' a track which features Mr.Hundson was also boring, otherwise most the album was eather mixed or decent.
Another thing that i did not enjoy from the album was Jay-Z's annoying 'augh' sound, what does Jigga mean by that?
Overall, i think it's hard to predict weather Jay-Z's next project will improve especially because the Blueprint 3 is a slow improvement from his last two albums, well, at least a mixed album is better than a failing album.

Movie Review: Hancock

Will Smith is one of my favorite actors of all-time, many of his movies are classics, and maybe some of the best I've ever seen, well, almost all his movies that I've seen, because there is one movie that is well, mixed, and it's called 'Hancock'

Hancock is honestly not that bad of a movie, only half of it is, the first half of the movie was gold, but the second half was just complete nothingness and stupidity, and why is that? it's because when Hancock became an actual superhero, well, everything just got boring and corny.

There are a few reasons on why the Hancock was corny, it was simply because of a few reasons, i think that when Hancock turned to a serious hero, the script got bad, the movie got boring, the acting went down, and the general story really did not fit to the begging of the movie at all.

But the movie was not all bad, as i mentioned, the first half of Hancock was really funny, the acting was great, and unlike the second half, the first half really had some conflict.

Overall, Hancock would have been a great movie, but the lame and boring second half really turned this movie around from great to "what the hell where they thinking???", i was definitely disappointed by the movie's total effort, it did not live up to it's expectations, and it did not live up to Will Smith's standards.

Album Review: Eminem- Encore

As we all know one of the biggest rappers of all-time is Eminem, his flow is sick, his lyrics are either deep or funny, he has a great rhythm, but you will not figure that out by listening to Encore, which was the lowest album that Eminem ever made.

I think that everyone who listened to this album will be disappointed, why? because his last three albums 'The Slim Shady LP', 'The Marshall Mathers LP' and 'The Eminem Show' where all very successful, and some of the best albums in music history, while Encore was well, just an album with nothing to look forward to.

Encore is Eminem's worst album, but that did not stop him from making good quality songs, a few tracks, 'Mockingbird', 'Yellow Brick Road', 'Mosh', and 'Like Toy Solders' where some of Eminem's best tracks, therefore saving the album from complete embarrassment.

The first single of the album was mediocre, 'Just Loose It' came in as a disappointing first single for Eminem, especially considering that all his other first singles where all great tracks.

Encore also had some of Eminem's worst tracks of all-time, such as the terrible, unlyrical 'My 1st Single' which had nothing from lyrics, flows, or rhythm, other bad tracks include 'Big Weenie', 'Crazy in Love', and 'Spend Some Time'.

I think that me, and everyone else was disappointed by Eminem's poor effort in Encore, a generally mediocre to poor album to say the least, , and if you ask me, this is not good at all for Eminem's legacy.
