Observe And Report (2009)

This is a really dark film about a bi-polar mall cop that is very delusional when it comes to reality. Set Rogen (Pineapple Express) plays Ronnie, a mall cop that really can't tell that he's seriously messed up in the cranium. He takes his job way too seriously and is obsessed with a make up girl who obviously thinks Ronnie is a tool and a creep. Anna Faris (Scary Movie) plays the said girl and Ronnie gets the opportunity he thinks he gets when Anna gets flashed by a pervert that Ronnie can't catch. This movie can be funny at times but like I stated before it get's real creepy and dark as well. The movie also stars Michael Pena (Gone In 60 Seconds), Aziz Ansari (I Love You, Man), and Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) as Detective Harrison. The real shinning star in this movie is Celia Weston (Dead Man Walking) who plays Ronnie's alcoholic but supportive mom. She was a real highlight to me as well as new comer Lauren Miller who plays a coffee store attendant that befriends Ronnie. I give it Three stars out of Five

The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto (2009)

I want to start off by saying that this is one whacked out film. It is definitely not one of the type of animated movies you let your kids watch. They have a song for example that tells you that "it is alright to jerk off to cartoons because the Japanese do it all the time." It is a whacked out, perverted sex, cartoon wild ride with a lot of cartoon action. The movie is about a washed up wrestler turned porn star named El Superbeasto (Voiced by Tom Papa), who falls in love with a foul mouthed stripper named Velvet Von Black (Voiced By Rosario Dawson) who gets kidnapped by Dr. Satan's (Voiced By Paul Giamatti) talking gorilla named Otto (Voiced by Spongebob Squarepants himself Tom Kenny). So, Superbeasto calls on his sister Suzi-X (Voiced By Sherri Moon Zombie) and her horny robot Murray (voiced by Brian Posehn) to help him save the girl before she marries Dr. Satan. Believe me, If I haven't intrigued you by now then I don't know what will. The movie also features voice cameos by Cassandra Peterson (Elvira), Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Sid Haig (The Devil's Rejects), Harland Williams (Half Baked), Daniel Roebuck (Rob Zombies Halloween 2) as his character from The Devil's Rejects Morris Green, and Clint Howard (Rock And Roll High School) to name a few. I enjoyed watching this movie and I still think Rob Zombie (House Of 1000 Corpses) is a genius. I give it Three Stars Out Of Five

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

At first I was a little confused from the beginning because I don't remember Logan being alive for as long as he has. According to the movie Victor A.K.A Sabertooth and Logan A.K.A. Wolverine are brothers and they fought in every major war since the civil war and on. It's not until Victor starts losing his cool that he and Logan are imprisoned for Victor losing his cool. They are then recruited by a man named Striker to do his dirty deeds. Hugh Jackman (X-Men) and Liev Schreiber (Defiance) join up with another group of mutants Played by Ryan Reynolds (Adventureland) as Dead Pool, Will i Am (Black Eye Peas) as John Wraith, Kevin Durand (Smokin Aces) as Frank Dukes, Daniel Henney (First American Role) as Agent Zero, and Dominic Monaghan (Lord Of The Rings) as Bradley. They go on a mission for striker who is played by Danny Huston (30 Days Of Night) and everything is going fine on a treasure hunt he leads them on until Logan decides enough is enough. Logan leaves and tries to live a normal life until Victor starts killing off mutants and goes after Logan's wife. This sets off Logan and this is where you see how Logan was created with the metal blades instead of the bone like ones he possess in the beginning. We start to find out that there is a deeper, more sinister meaning in what Striker is doing? You'll have to rent it to find out. I was very impressed with Will i Am's performance in this movie as well as Taylor Kitsch (The Covenant) who plays one of my favorite X-Men characters Remy LeBeau A.K.A. Gambit. He was the guy I liked the most in the movie and wished there was more of him in this movie. I have high hopes for the next installment of this movie. The movie also features the young X-Men crew that we all grew to love in the first three installments in this movie like Storm, Cyclops, and Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) himself makes an appearance. This is by far my favorite X-Men movie. Four Stars Out Of Five

Patrick Swayze R.I.P. (1952-2009)

Hollywood has lost one of it's best talents to come out of the eighties. Patrick Swayze has passed away after his long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was always one of my favorites ever since I saw him in Francis Ford Coppola's The Outsiders as Darrel Curtis. I loved seeing him in the movie Red Dawn, where he plays a young man forced to take care of his brother and many other high school kids after the Russians take over the school. I also loved the Movie Road House where he plays this bad ass bouncer who gets hired to turn around a bar. Obviously, he had other great movies he made like Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Black Dog, and many more. He is a legend and an Icon in his own right. God Bless Patrick Swayze. I also chose this picture cause I want to remember him for his great hair that he possessed.

Fast & Furious (2009)

Contrary to popular belief, this movie actually wasn't half bad. If your a total gear head then you might appreciate or hate this movie. Vin Diesel reprises his role as Dominic as well as Michelle Rodriguez (The Fast And The Furious, S.W.A.T.) as Letty, Jordana Brewster (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) as Mia, and Paul Walker (Varsity Blues, 2 Fast 2 Furious) as Brian O'Connor. This time Brian works for the FBI in LA and he is after a big time drug dealer. Well, Dom's girlfriend Letty gets killed and now Dom is after this guy as well. So, they team up to track down this drug dealer and hopefully Brian can win back Dom and Mia's trust that he lost after the first movie. The scenes with the cars are king in this movie and their is plenty of explosive action as well. It is basically what you'd want from this movie, but I hope the series dies here because Tokyo Drift totally sucked and this one isn't bad. I think Vin Diesel's time may have run out in the spotlight as he is reprising old roles once again for a measly paycheck. I give the movie three stars out of five as I thought the story was pretty good as well as the acting.

The Inglorious Bastards (1978)

Much to my dismay, I didn't know that Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds was a sort of remake of this movie that was released in 1978. I should have figured with his obsession with exploitation films, that he would've done this movie. This one is a lot different than the one in the theatres. The movie stars black exploitation legend Fred Williamson (Hammer, Black Caesar) as a shamed army guy, who with other men heading to be court marshaled, try to escape to Switzerland when the fall into some trouble on the way. Led by Lt. Yeager (Played By an underrated Bo Svenson), Williamson and company are on the fight for their lives when they decide to help the partisans and a an American colonel try to hijack a train that contains an atomic bomb. Can they all succeed at the mission or will they fail? This I thought was a great movie in itself that I enjoyed watching it. I usually hate war movies, but I couldn't stop watching. I love one of the captions on the movie poster where it says, "Whatever the dirty dozen did they do it dirtier." The movie is directed by Italian Enzo G. Castellari and he does an excellent job that it is well worth the money to rent. Oh by the way this movie has it all from explosions, to naked female German soldiers, and tons of fighting. Three and The Half Stars Out Of Five

Race To Witch Mountain (2009)

Even though it has the Disney tag on it, don't be fooled by it because this was an excellent movie and I'm starting to believe that maybe Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (Get Smart, The Scorpion King) is the real deal for Hollywood. This movie had all the action a kid and an adult could want out of a movie about Aliens that want to recover something on Earth to help save their planet. Again, Dwayne plays a cab driver in Las Vegas that has seen his share of trouble when he runs into what he thinks is two adolescent teenagers in the back of his cab, but they turn out to be Aliens. The only problem for Dwayne besides running from the mob in Vegas is he also has the Department of Defense after him because he has the Alien subjects. The aliens are played by AnnaSophia Robb (Jumper, Bridge To Terabithia) who plays Sara and Alexander Ludwig (The Sandlot 3, Air Bud: World Pup) as Alex, who just want to save their planet as well as ours from invaders. The movie also features Carla Cugino (Righteous Kill, The Watchmen) as a UFO doctor, Tom Everette Scott (That Thing You Do!, An American Werewolf In Paris) as a special agent, Chris Marquette (Alpha Dog, The Girl Next Door) as another special agent who plays the typical scaredy cat one, Ciarán Hinds (There Will Be Blood, Munich) as the typical no frills, tough guy by the book special agent manningthe whole operation, and a cameos by Cheech Marin (Of Cheech And Chong Fame), Garry Marshall (The Twilight Of The Golds), and Dennis Hayden (The Man In The Iron Mask). This Movie has everything from Explosions, Alien Assassins, Train Wrecks, Aliens, and the weird Star Wars nerds that go to conventions. I give this movie Four Stars Out Of Five

The Midnight Meat Train (2008)

This is a very brutal and graphic movie about a meat butcher that kills people on the midnight train. Vinnie Jones (The Condemned, Year One) deservedly plays the aforementioned butcher named Mahogany and believe me I always thought Vinnie should've played this character. The story really follows Bradley Cooper's (The Hangover, The Rocker) character Leon, who is a photographer trying to find the best picture in the subway when he comes across this butcher. Now, Leon is on the hunt to figure out who this man is and how he is getting away with murder. The movie also stars Leslie Bibb (Iron Man, The Skulls) as Leon's girlfriend Maya, Brooke Shields (The Blue Lagoon) as Leon's boss, and it features a cameo by UFC Champion Quentin "Rampage" Jackson as a victim. I enjoyed this movie a lot and thought it was a breath of fresh air for the horror genre and believe me the ending will shock you. Three Stars Out Of Five

Laid To Rest (2009)

This was a okay movie that I wasn't too impressed with, but hey what the hell it only cost me a dollar to rent it out of a redbox. The problem I had from this was the girl (as she is known by in the movie because she can't remember who she is), her acting at first was okay and it got a little better towards the end. My other problem is where in the hell has Sean Whalen (The People Under The Stairs) been. He did a magnificent job in the aforementioned Wes Craven flick, he disappears, and returns to this movie about a serial killer with a chrome skull face that likes to bury his victims alive and videotape them as well. Oh and by the way he mutilates his victims as well. Again, this is an okay movie for the budget it had. Follow Bobbi Sue Luther as she tries to figure out just who she is and why this serial killer wants her. The movie gets very brutal and graphic towards the end, but I have to say the last half and hour of the movie is the best part. Two Stars Out Of Five

Tyson (2009)

I thought this movie was a very good look into the mind of a man who could have been the greatest boxer in history. The whole movie is basically an interview with "Iron" Mike Tyson and it even showcases highlights from every important boxing match in his career. You get to hear the desperation of a man that just wants to explain his side of the story from the loss to Buster Douglass, the rape conviction, failed marriage to Robin Givens, and the embarrassment of the rest of his career. They capture a very different side of Mike that nobody ever really gets to see and I think that is what makes this movie great. It kept me glued to my seat as I remembered what a great boxer he once was when I was little kid growing up to the baddest man on the planet. Believe me, you will be astonished by this man as you watch him. Four Stars Out Of Five

I Love You, Man (2009)

I first off have to say I was a little skeptical about renting this movie, but I have to say this is one for the bromance ages. It stars Paul Rudd (Knocked Up, Clueless) as Pete, a real estate agent in LA who just got engaged to his beautiful girlfriend, but there is one problem and it's because pete doesn't have a lot of guy friends. He's been too busy with girlfriends that he doesn't know how to chill out and be one of the guys as well as not having a best man for his wedding. So, Pete goes on a series of man dates to try and find a best friend after over hearing his girlfriend's friends talking about it. After a bunch of failed man dates, he finally finds a guy he can connect with and it Jason Segel (Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) who plays a sort of slacker/investment guy who is just what Pete needed. They become very close after discovering their love for the rock group Rush (who also has a cameo in the movie). Maybe their friendship is a little too close and that is what Zooey is wondering, who is played by Rashida Jones(The Office). The movie is great and is one of the best movies of '09. The movie features a lot of cameos by certain starsw like Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk Himself), Thomas Lennon (Balls Of Fury, Reno 911), Jay Chandrasekhar (Beer Fest, Supertroopers), Aziz Ansari (Human Giant, Observe And Report) as well as many others. The real stars of the film are Andy Samberg (Hot Rod) as Pete's gay brother, Jane Curtain (Coneheads) as his mom, J.K. Simmons (Spiderman, HBO's OZ) as his dad, Jamie Pressly (My Name Is Earl) as Denise, and Jon Favreau (The Break Up, Iron Man) as Denise's jerk off husband. I give this movie Four Stars Out Of Five
