It has been a solid amount of time since the last update(as it always seems to be) but I have also been to the theaters two more times(for a total of 5 trips this year) as I watched Insidious(Check out my friends blog here for my thoughts and others) as well as finally seeing one of my most anticipated movies of the year in "Scream 4"
I do not want to ruin Scream for anyone but of course I do want to let people in on a little tidbit about the film... Its the FOURTH one in the series. So please for the love of slashers, Could you please watch the first movie at least? if not the original trilogy. Otherwise Scream 4 really blew my mind. It was fun and funny, without losing much of that little jumps that the first scream brought to the table. It whole heartily felt like a Scream movie and not just another cash in(IM more so looking at Nightmare on elm street 47) It was the perfect horror movie for movie geeks, They also seem to nod to the first film by basicly remaking it... Well hell You have seen the previews or the film by now, I enjoyed it. I hope you do too.
A few movies that I found that surprised me and would like to point out are the American remake of "The Experiment" which is on netflix right now. It has a solid cast and well its a remake of a great German film. I say check it out now.
Being bored one night i was looking for some Sci Fi to entertain me and i happen to stumble upon a movie called "Hunter Prey" which at first looked pretty horrible and expected total trash but as I started watching it, I must say the costume design and over all look of the film is amazing. Its a low budget film no doubt as the cast is only a hand full of nobodies but the story is worth the view if not just for the awesome visuals of the costumes and so on.
As for TV, I did finish season 1 of scrubs(I forget if i listed that in the last update but it was awhile back) I also have watched a few more episodes of the UK version of Skins, Which is still one of the best shows around.
In my Video Game world, I happen to buy the new Mortal Kombat. Its Awesome. It makes me think of my old school gamer days, when I would walk to my friends how just to play on his Sega. I still suck at it but its just so much fun. Plus it actually has a story mode worth while. Its as if the original game and the movie came together to be even more awesome. So yes. MK is worth while.
Well As always the movie list and List of Doom have been updated. So check em out.

The King Sucker Punch'd The Other Guys....
I do enjoy mixing up the names of movies i have watched as of late into a Title of my posts. But sometimes i just watch too many in between updates that the title would be crazy long.
First off, I watched a Horrible indy film called "Bear" Which of course is on Netflix Instant. It is however my type of film but just poorly done. That being a group of friends trying to survive in a crazy situation(think Frozen or 127 Hours) But seriously this was just laughable.
On the day that I bought the brand new Nintendo 3DS i also happen to watch a classic comedy called "Airheads" in which i thought.... Wow this is a film I hope never gets remade. It just would not work with the lack of Radio power and well good music, In My Opinion.
Over the weeks leading up to the release I had plenty of phone calls and people asking me when the movie "Tangled" was coming out, which caught me off guard as I dont really remember it doing all that well in the theaters but it sure has done very well on DVD as it sold out very fast at my work. I had to see what all the crazy mumbo jumbo was about...It was very good. Its classic Disney Musical. I have to say It has been a very long time since i have watched a movie in which ONE character always had me laughing when ever he/she was on screen. It happened in Tangled when The horse(Maximus) was on screen. I highly recommend this film for anyone, It will be a solid family film of course.
Talking about laughing when ever someone was on screen, That sadly did not happen while I watched the movie "Due Date" but that doesnt mean it wasnt good, I do wish it would have been better as I very much enjoy the work of Robert Downy Jr. As well as Zack whats his face. But something just didnt click the whole ride. But it was still worth a view on a boring day in which I needed a giggle.
When a film wins Best Picture it really should be the best picture over the past twelve months, In being one of the two films I failed to see out of the nominated movies of 2010, "The Kings Speech" was high on my list of must see. I'm not sure what to really say about this movie as it was good and enjoyable. A well told story that was greatly acted but I just found it lacking of Best Picture. I would still tell people to see the film but I guarantee it is not for everyone.
Cliche action films can be a bit of a boring viewing experience but every once in awhile something will come along full of Cliche ness but.... Surprise you in its fun adventure and for me that film was the slightly based on true events called "Unstoppable" staring Chris Pine and Mr. Washington. I was actually very shocked at how thrilling this cliche ride was. It was just plain fun and enjoyable.
Then came a bit of a Meh drought of films that included "The Proposal" Which I do love me some Ryan Reynolds but it just didnt really hit me in any good way, it just passed some time. That would also be said for the third Narnia movie(Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) which I felt missed having Disney in its corner(instead of Fox) The budget or care just seemed to be lacking. But maybe that was the actual story as we have lost two main characters this time around. Then came more of an enjoyable viewing experience with "Despicable Me" It was a fun little ride with one cute character that easily made the film far better(plus it had the Minions) but at times I did feel it could have been a bit better.
I viewed "The Other Guys" finally which the reason it took me so long is Im not a fan of Neither Mark or Will so I really had no real reason to view the film. But It did have a quick few minutes with The Rock and Sam Jackson. Which was awesome and had a very what the hell kind of moment to it all. The film as a whole had some nice running jokes(TLC and learning to make fun of) but i still cant really get past either actor for the most part. Sorry.
I enjoyed the movie "Red" which i remember being one of the films I previewed at comic con that got the audience wondering if it would actually be worth while. I think it was. Enjoyable for any age. No wonder it sold so well at my work.
Made another adventure out to the local cinema to watch the new film from Zack Snyder "Sucker Punch" I have to say this is probably one of the hardest films to actually try and talk about... It was fun, Mindless.... Horrible.... Enjoyable.... What the hell did I just watch? Kind of film. The story didnt seem all there. Yet the strings some what held it together. But the true highlights of this film is the actually style and pulp of the movie(Design/music/worlds) all that kinda stuff.... Its just something I think people should see so they can judge themselves.
Alrighty that is my first update of April. I did a nice little run down. If anything you can always just check my Movie list above. Have fun, See a film.
