Runpee, that's right Run and Pee!

I think everyone knows this feeling, situation: You buy a ticket for a great movie at the entrance of the cinema, you buy a large popcorn, a yellow pack of M&M’s and a large coke, not thinking this could ruin the whole movie for you. You enter the theater you sit down, you start drinking and eating, the movie starts and then it happens this annoying feeling, you need to pee! Your hands start to shiver, you start sweating, you just don’t know what to do, am I going to miss something? Should I hold it in? Of course this sounds really dramatic, but this happens to everyone and it sucks! Actually in my case I would probably use the big empty coke for other liquids, but not everyone is like me. Until now! People come up with a lot of stupid websites, without any use for them, but this site and application could change your life. (Or movie experience) This site tells you when to go, for how long and what did you miss. It’s beautiful, simple, and perfect. I won’t elaborate on this too much hereunder you have a link where you can check out the website and from there you’ll find the download link for the application.





I know at the end the guy says don’t download it, but again I think it is up to you, so enjoy, and relax you won’t miss anything!

memorable quote:



Wiseman: If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.




What?
First I Must apologize for the fact that this movie is a bit older, but as I said before, I watch it so I need to review it, so enjoy.


After her mother dies, Baby Doll gets locked up in a mental facility by her abusive dad after she almost kills him. Being kept in hell on earth she uses her imagination to try to escape out of this hellhole. The reality and her imagination are the key for the escape to the other side. To escape she came up with a plan wherein she needs five different items. Every item becomes a different mission, where her fantasies take here to battlefields and missions in the past and the future. All this needs to happen before it is too late!



Yes?
In the trailers before they showed us already the simple fact that the whole movie surrounds eye candy. Yes girls in lingerie with big gun fill the movie theaters. Of course it’s not the most subtle way but it works. The story was quite interesting, and I even enjoyed the fight scenes. I liked all the special effects and big explosions, those came in big contrast to the so fragile little girls fighting in them.


Most of the actors where unknown for me and they did they job, being pretty and kicking ass. On the other hand you had this guide, who I just loved, he had this wisdom and oldness that just leaked from him. And then we had the bad guy, sometimes you have someone who tries to play the bad person and it just doesn’t come of like this, here the bad guy just gave me a bad feeling, he was convincing.


The whole filmed surrounded this darkness you had never any sunlight, everything was macabre and dark which was really good.


No?
A thing that disturbed me was the lack of reality, in every movie, as weird as it should be the reality factor is important here it was just over the top, we had this feeling of Charlie’s Angels in Hell.


The whole package was just not convincing, I just didn’t connect to the whole story, it had definitely some good stuff but not enough to be considered good.

Well…
It was a movie with some good qualities, but all in all not enough to be considered a movie you need to watch, it was childish and not convincing. If you haven’t watched it I think you shouldn’t watch it, only if you have a serious lack in female attention and you like girls in lingerie with guns. Because of all the above I grade this one…


Grade: 6 out of 10

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, Trailer



I must admit this is not my regular kind of Trailer that I show, but considering the fact that I will probably watch it with my wife, I will put it on the blog. In the previous movies you had different level of some action scenes, which were the main interest for movie, and this is actually what you can see in the trailer. Of course the story continues with the same people which are a positive thing. I just hate it when they make sequels with different people, just gives you the feeling that they don’t respect you. What you think I cannot see that it’s not the same actor, insulting! The story looks good, Bella marries the vampire, she gets pregnant, and she is going to explode unless the vampire does “something” crazy. This special something the crazy abs wolf man definitely doesn’t like. This is the story in a nutshell. Just watch it!



As I told you, some cool fights between the cold people and the warm people (I think that’s just nice how I put this one in words) and Bella in the middle. As always be prepared for the ultimate showdown!!






Release date: Around 15 of November

The Double, Trailer!



Everyone knows Richard Gere, some love him for the acting and some love him for the looks. I personally think he is awesome. He has the luxury that he can choose the movies he wants to do and I believe he made an awesome choice in this upcoming movie. It kind of reminds me of Salt with Angelina Jolie, but in a more serious and mysterious way. We have the same basic things, CIA, Russian and assassin; I guess the cold war theme never gets old. So watch the trailer, and choose for what you actually like Richard Gere.



Dam this guy has some serious cool moves. Gere as a super assassin, we could even say the Russian James Bond, maybe I got a bit carried away, but you get the point. As always be prepared!!

Review: Rise of the planet of the apes.

Director: Rupert Wyatt





Stars: James Franco, Andy Serkis and John Lithgow



Release Date: 11 August 2011



Genres: Action, Drama,Sci-Fi (I hope at least) and Thriller




Memorable quote:
Caesar: You know signs?
Maurice: Yes.
Maurice: I was circus orangutan.




What?
The father of Dr. Rodman is suffering from the Alzheimer disease. In a race against time Dr. Rodman tries to find a cure against the horrible disease. To find a cure for his father, different experiments are carried out on a chimp, which alters and genetically-enhances the intelligence of Ceaser a young ape that uses his new power to lead his fellow apes to freedom. Or at least he tries! ( a bit dry, but that’s the story)


Yes?
I watched the trailer as always for this movie, not one but all footage that came out online. I was afraid that it was going to ruin it for me but the opposite happened, it was awesome. The story was great, the effects even better.


A lot of time has passed since I have watched the original planet of the apes from 1968 but I think this movie could easily be a continuance to the original, as we like to call it “the beginning”.


Franco was good, he delivered his part even tough I belived in the beginning he wasn’t capabale of it, he turns out to be a great geek doctor. His father John Lithgow , even tough had only a couple of parts, was awesome. Last but not least we have Ceaser or better said Serkis, I’m not sure if everyone knows this but he is the figure behind King-Kong and Gollum in Lord of the rings, and here it was just spectacular, his moves were just amazing.

Serkis together with the beautiful effects were just great. No need for 3D crap or anything.
Another great thing is even though the apes are kicking the shit out of the humans, the viewer still feels in a weird way of compassion with them, this comes mainly through an amazing connection between the audience and Ceaser the baby chimp that grows older.




No?
Something that definitely bothered me was the division of the movie, the introduction, till the fight or great escape took almost the whole movie, I expected thing to happen faster, and that the escape would be the main part. But again the introduction was really good.


Maybe this is only me but I would love the movie to go further and longer than it actually did, it was quite short considering it was such a huge thing.



Well…
At the end of the movie they still leave an opening for an upcoming something, which was a nice touch, I liked it. If you haven’t watched it yet, go and watch it, at home or at the movies, it was fun and entertaining to watch. And probably tell will come a second one since it quite earned something. Because of all the above I grade this…

Review: Priest




Director: Scott Charles Stewart

Stars: Paul Bettany,

Genres: Action, Sci-Fi and Thriller

Release Date: 9 June 2011

Memorable quote:
Black Hat: After all, if you're not committing sin... you're not having fun.










What?


Sometime in the future, everything is controlled by the church, the world is ruined by the endless war between men and the nightwalker, the vampire. They are assumed to have been defeated, by the priests, the only effective weapon against the vampire and the rest put in cages to rot till end of time. It is believed men overcame this plague, but this is only believed to be true!! Muahahahahah ( I needed to)



Yes?

The whole movie has this type of darkness that surrounds it, which is needed in a vampire movie, this was great. I loved the intro to the movie, the short but bloody introduction to this whole thing. Another thing they didn't spare is the ketchup, the red sauce, I just love it when blood flows, especially in a vampire movie. You had a couple of nice action and fighting scenes, some slow motions and that's quite it. I loved the priest’s weapons, dam cool.
Bettany is good he delivers, he has always this priestly and weirdly look around him, he just pulls it off. He did it in the Davinci code, he did it here again.


No?
This movie lacks a good story, it seemed almost too easy to overcome everything. I like it when the hero actually needs to do something to win.
I didn't find any real actor here that is worth mentioning, so this means they all didn't bring anything good either, so be it. The movie had potential but in my opinion it was just not used in a good way.

Well...
This movie lacked a decent something, it may have been the story or the lack of talent, but I still watched it till the end so, if you like this vampire crap and I don't mean twilight, watch it, if not just sit this one out, you won’t miss anything. Because of all the above I grade this one...
