movie review drunken fist boxing

I rented 2 jackie chan movies tonight the prisoner and drunken fist boxing. I got screwed with both movies. This is not a jackie chan movie at all, it only has clips of his movie drunken master in it. The real star of the movie is cassanova wong. For a kung fu movie the fighting is pretty decent to good. The movie itself is bad. I can,t believe this is a offical dvd because the movie looked like it was a bootleg copy. It looked bad and you can tell stuff got cut out. I give it 1 star.

movie review the prisoner

I watched the prisoner and I did,t like it. The cover art makes it look like jackie chan is the star of the movie and thats a big fat lie. Jackie chan is barely in the movie at all. it,s your run of the mill prison movie. The fights are alright. The movie ends with a gun battle and jackie chan gets killed at the end of the movie. Thank god i only paid a 1$ to rent this movie. Don,t waste your time on this movie. I give it 1 star.

movie event

Theres a new kung fu movie coming out called the raid and all the reviews i read for it said it,s a awesome movie. It did,t seem like it was going to play in boston because the movie sould have came out yesterday and did,t. I did some looking online and the raid will be playing at the kendall sq movie theatre. It,s my least fave movie theatre, the seats are not great, the popcorn is ok and everything costs too much and walking there is no fun. I really would like to see this movie and it sucks that the only theatre that will be showing it is the kendall. The raid starts next weekend 3-30 at the kendall.

movie event

I saw a preview for a movie called karate robo zaborgar and it will be playing at the brattle theatre in harvard sq on 4-1. Yes I know that is april fools day and yes it is a real movie. It looks pretty funny to me. Anyone who is a fan of robot movies will want to check it out.

random thought of the day

For some reason i thought yesterday was st.paddys day and today i was out and about saw people all in green and was like crap how did i get the day wrong. I saw people going into hugh O' neils at like 2:30 in the afternoon and was surprised at how many people were there that early in the day. I think my best st.paddys day was when i went to london and i got to spend st.patricks day in merry old london having drinks with my sister and best friends. I almost forgot to put my 2nd and last best st.paddys day was i had gone out to rent a movie and was on my way home and ran into one of my friends and my friend had a extra ticket to a irish show here in melrose and asked if i like go to the show and use the extra ticket and i said yes and it was a great show and a fun night with my two friends.

my thoughts on the dark shadows preview

I just saw the first preview for tim burtons dark shadows and wow I,m shocked, it looks nothing like the old tv show and it,s a comedy. It sould not be a comedy, it sould be creepy and scary. I,m a fan of both the old dark shadows tv show and tim burton and i would have thought he be the right person to bring dark shadows to the big screen and after seeing the preview, boy was i wrong. This movie looks like it,s making fun of not only the tv show but vampire movies like twilight. I,m sad that tim burton screwed up what sould have been a good movie. I may still see it but it,s a shame that if i do see it that i know i,ll be seeing a comedy instead of a scary movie.

my thoughts on the wonder woman tv show

I finished watching the old wonder woman tv show and it,s still fun to watch. The 1st and 2nd seasons are great but season 3 sucks. the shows 1st season took place during world war 2 and it,s a great way to start getting to know the character and the episodes were good and fun. For season 2 the tv big wigs felt it was costing too much money to keep the show in WW2 so they bring wonder woman into the 1970s and it worked having wonder woman in the disco era and the show was still just as fun and action packed as it,s first season. For season 3 it almost feels like they are writing out the title character out of her own show. It becomes more about dina prince and less about wonder woman. Season 3 episodes suck and are also boring, there were a few decent episodes but the shows final season was a bust. linda carter was perfect as wonder woman and no one will ever top her as DC COMICS BEST SUPER FEMALE HERO. chris reeves will always be superman and linda carter will always be wonder woman. For comic book fans it is a good show and if you grew up with shows like wonder woman then it is a must buy dvd boxset.

ramdom thought of the day

I went out to dinner tonight with my family for my aunts 70th birthday and I was talking to one of my cousins and he said he thinks scarface is a better movie then the godfather. I said i disagree with that and i think the godfather is the better movie. My cousin likes scarface better because it,s more action packed. So heres my thoughts on both movies, scarface is a great movie, does have alot of action, good story and good acting. The godfather is a classic movie with a excellent story, great cast, the acting from everyone is excellent, it grabs you right from the first scene and never lets go. It works both as a mob story and a family story. Both movies are bloody but scarface can be gory as hell. I can still watch the godfather and enjoy the movie but scarface is in my mind more of a drug movie instead of being a mob movie and thats why i,ll never watch scarface again because it is a drug movie. So i want to ask everyone what do you think is the better movie scarface or the godfather?

my review of the lorax

I saw the lorax this weekend and it was good. Danny Devito was perfect as the lorax. The amation was great, the colors are eye poping and it is funny. I went with auntie ellen to see it and we tryed to see a early show but by the time it was our turn to buy tickets it was sold out. It,s been forever since i went to a movie that was sold out. We got tickets and went to a later show. I,m shocked at how good the kids were during the movie. If your a fan of danny devito or dr.suess it is worth seeing. I give it 3 stars.

movie review

I finally saw tinker, tailor, soldier spy and it was worth the wait. Gary oldman is the star of the movie and i think he sould have won the oscar for best actor because thats how good he was in the movie. It,s a spy story that takes place in london in the early 1970s. The acting in this movie was nothing short of excellent. This is the best cast i have seen in a movie in years. I,m going to warn people that this is a slow paced movie, theres no action in it at all and it,s all about the acting. This is one of those movies that would bore the hell out of some people because it seems like nothing is really happening and like i said it,s not exciting at all. This is not a james bond spy movie, this is what the world of spys is really like. It,s a very story and character driven movie. I give the movie 4 stars. It,s the best movie i have seen so far this year.

movie theatre review

I went not this past weekend but the weekend before to hollywood hits. It,s a movie theatre that plays all the movies that have already left the other movie theatres and it,s like your last chance to see a movie you really wanted to see but missed it during it run at all the other theatres. There were not enough people working, the seats were so low i felt like i was sitting in one of my 3 year old nephews chairs. If the seats had been any lower, i would have been sitting on the floor. I been to alot of movie theares in my life but this one just took the cake. The way it,s set up is even strange. The popcorn was,t great. I don,t plan on going back there anytime soon.
