I did like the fact the leading girl in it is hotter than the previous one, and also the history of the ‘Primes’ was told very well.  However the story line as a whole was not too good and the acting by Shia LaBeouf was terrible, he is just not a leading acting and cannot hold the screen.

I did feel that there were transformers coming out left right and center and the movie special effects were good, however I was lost with all the transformers.

One major point was that I though Optimus Prime has taken a few fighting classes as he kicked arse in this one where as in Transformers one he got his arse kicked a lot more.  It was as if he had some stuff downloaded from the Matrix and said ‘I now know Kung Fu’.

1) Godfather II – probably the best performance by Al Pacino and of course the finest Godfather movie. Godfather I was a great film however seeing the rise of Michael Corleone to the head of the Mafia all throughout the US and the killing of his enemies is just draw dropping. Also this is one of few films you can watch over and over again and see little details every time and therefore understand even further.

2) Old School – Probably the finest comedy ever, and any excuse to really see Will Ferrell in action.  This is a an all time laugh and will keep you diaphragm hurting for hours after.  “Frank the Tank” and “Blue” are names you will never remember and think about how many release into the wilds have happened due to this film.

Every time you watch this you piss yourself from start to finish, the beginning of course with the taxi driver and the belt incident “I recommend you stop being such a faggot. You’re in the backseat. ” to Frank running naked down the street asking “Honey, you think KFC is still open?”.

3) Shawshank Redemption – a great story, a great cast and great acting!! In this movie you experience a huge amount of emotions from sadness to happiness at the end when Andy (Tim Robbins) escapes via picking a whole in his wall and crawling miles through poop.

If you are ever wanting to feel happy while you are alone on the Island but do not want to hurt your diaphragm then this of course a great option.

I am sure I am missing a few and some that come to mind are Forrest Gump, Matriz, Ice Age,Top Gun, and many more.

Let me know your top 3!!

Pride and Glory Movie Review

I was doubtful about watching this movie to begin with as I have never been a huge Edward Norton or Colin Farrell  fan, especially after seeing Edward Norton in the Incredible Hulk and Colin Farrell in the recruit, I thought both films were just 5/10 films.  Colin gained some respect from the film ‘In Bruges’ however Edward Norton for me and Colin Farrell are not lead roles, I do not feel they can hold a movie on their own like Tom Hanks and other great actors, however i am sure they will get there.

Pride and Glory is a movie about the NYPD and the corruption within it.  I think it was meant to be filmed after the 9/11 terrorism act however it was benched until a better time.  Colin Farrell plays the dirty brother in law cop that is a hired  hit man and drug dealer. After Colin Farrells guys get slaughtered in a raid they is uproar in the department and a Task Force is put together to find out what happened of which Edward Norton heads.  John Voight plays the father of Ed Norton and the father in law of Colin Farrell and is the long serving police chief.

It all ends in tears as expected however the story line is good and the acting good as well.  Both Colin and ed are now larger blips on my Hollywood actor.  A great fim and I would rate this a 6.5-7/10.

So i was in the video shop the other day and saw that the film where was there, not too sure if it was released here in Costa Rica yet, but as with anything in Costa Rica I did not ask any questions, especially as the quality was a 10.

The film has a great cast with the main characters being Paul Rudd of ‘40 year old Virgin’, Seann William Scott of ‘American pie’ and Jayne Lynch of ‘40 year old virgin’, the f**k buddy boss.

However Bobbie J Thompson plays the highly racist black kid and Christoper Mintz of ‘Super Bad’ plays Augie the geek.

The ,main story line is that the biggies work for a power drink company and end up crashing their Minotaur van into a statue and have to do 150 hours of community service at sturdy hand, and place where elders help little kids.

Essentially they learn a lot about themsleves and help the kids, however there are some hilarious parts of the movie of which typically come from ‘Wheeler’ (Seann William Scott) and ‘Ronnie’ (Bobbie J thompson).

It is well worth a watch and I give this movie a 7/10, however one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time!!
