The Campaign

****-

Don't get why it got so much criticism from people.

Premium Rush

A very light fun action film with some good performances. The Joseph Gordon-Levitt/Michael Shannon showdown aka Robin/Zod was pretty awesome. There's a lot of cool shots throughout the film with bikes and just the area of downtown New York. I was somewhat expecting a bigger film but it feels like something I would watch on Netflix but I still had fun with it.
7/10

Ever since I was blown away from watching The Raid, I thought I would check out their last film. Iko Uwais who was in the Raid is again the lead and he was phenomenal. The story is pretty basic and have been done many times but I didn't mind it too much. The action was solid when things go down but not on the level The Raid was. Also the two white guys who play the villains was pretty awful acting wise...action wise they brought it.
7/10

PREMIUM RUSH

I wish my time as a New York messenger had been as exciting as some of the scenes in Premium Rush.
My messenger days consisted of glares from receptionists if my manifest was damaged or if i told them it needed
to be signed for by the recipient on the package,and riding or waiting for freight elevators meant for trucks even
though at times i was only carrying an envelope.
This fast paced tale of Bike Messenger Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who picks up an envelope from his ex-girlfriends,
Vanessa's (Dania Ramirez)roommate, Nima (Jamie Chung) and then is pursued by a bad ,degenerate gambler N.Y.P.D detective
Bobby Monday ( a scenery chewing and then some Michael Shannon)
for the contents of the envelope,is stylish and fun for the most part.
Gordon-Levitt is his usual charming and capable self.
I liked being visually placed on every chance taking curve along with Wilee,and his "Spider-Sense" premonition of what may
happen when he chose a certain snake like path through the crowded streets of Manhattan.
The running gag of him being pursued by a bike cop was very funny.
What didnt work and took the wind out of the sails of the film was a subplot involving a fellow B.M named Manny (Wolé Parks)
who has some lame rivalry going for Vanessa and who's the fastest B.M. The character of Manny is one of the most
obnoxious characters i have ever seen on the big screen.
There are a few more corny moments but aside from that P.R mainly gets everything else right.How to get to point A to B,
grabbing a bite to eat between jobs,and maneuvering through the hot Summer streets of N.Y.C

Ted.
Loved it.... Not sure Bradon Routh will like it tho

Seeking Justice

Sometimes I think people like to talk badly about Nic Cage. Is not his best movie, but it's still a good thriller for a saturday night.
This same movie with a different director could've been a lot better.

 

[TheGuy]

Brilliant.

Terrible.

Most movies that I watch that I dislike, I shrug my shoulders and move on. But this one in particular, it just PO me off that it could have been a great film. It started out so good, but once that chick and her kid got into the picture, it came to halt. I'm really starting to hate sticking women in action films just for the sake of it, and this is coming from a woman.

Die Hard

 

[Figs]

Why oh why must they put in stupid, annoying kids. This movie would have been a lot better if they took out the main guys two younger siblings.

2.5/5

Octopussy (1983)

A View to a Kill (1985)
Oh crap... here's another bad Bond movie that I liked. This is getting worrying. I blame Christopher Walken, he just makes everything more entertaining.

Seminole (1953)

The Defiant Ones (1958)

Treasure Island (1972)
Orson Welles plays Long John Silver in this movie! So it can't possibly be bad right? No.

Bowfinger (1999)

I saw this the night before it came out at an employee screening, and while I enjoyed it, I have to admit that this is one of the silliest movies I've seen in a long time. opening shot of JGL just flying through the air got a couple of laughs from people in the theater, myself included, as did Michael Shannon's performance. I loved his rant about how people just throw around terms like *****ebag and suck it. Something else that craced me up was the fact that every character in this movie is an ass****. They even managed to turn JGL into a *****e lol. To me it was a so bad it was good type of movie.

 

[Kane52630]

Yeah, Michael Shannon's goofy laugh gets me every time. I wish somehow he puts that into his Zod performance.

and the entire sub plot chinese mafia or whatever the hell it was was just ridiculous. can somebody explain to me how exactly a ticket stub with a smiley drawn on it is worth "a large sum of money?" honestly, if it was explained I missed it.
