So what's up ya'll? Anyone that knows me knows I love me some movies. Here's a list of some that I have watched in the past few weeks. Some are old some are new, hit it:
Legion – This was pretty kool. Plus it was a different concept then a lot of movies out there right now. I like movies like this where things are not how they are supposed to be. Reminds me of movies like Constantine or even the quest Bartleby and Loki go on for revenge in Dogma. The thought of angels having resentment toward humans is genius. Why wouldn't they? Check out this flick and the other two mention in this review for sure.

Trick 'r Treat – I really liked this flick. I love how it’s a couple intertwined tales that wrap in and out. It reminds me of old school Tales From the Crypt / Creepshow / Tales From the Darkside; kinda vibe without the creepy narrator. Really great movie to watch on Halloween or like me, on a Tuesday.

The Fourth Kind – Totally awesome, and scary as hell! I am sure that most people with think it's crap. For someone like myself that believes there are other entities out there, its shit-ur-pants awesome. I'm not going to go into it at all, just watch it. Hell, watch the trailer before bed...lol.

Cop Out – This was pretty funny. Sean William Scott made me pee a little bit... a few times.

The Bounty Hunter – It was alright. Not as funny as I thought it would be. It was one of those, "all the funny parts were in the trailer" kinda deals. So here, watch the trailer aaaand you're good!

The Crazies (2010 & 1973) – I thought this was pretty good. Kind of a zombie-esque but you have the government running you down too. Take a second and think about how bad that would suck. So I watched both movies and I actually enjoyed both. I though they actually come off a two separate movies. The 1973's version is basically centered around the army and them trying to cover things up. The 2010 version is mostly about the townsfolk and their crusade to get out of the town alive. It's all the same premise, but it's kool to see both sides.

Defendor – I like this flick. At first I thought it was a rip on Kick-Ass or something because I didn't see anything about it until Kick-Ass came out. It's not. It' s only similar cuz the main character dresses like a superhero. That's about it. The rest is a pretty interesting story about a guy that takes on... pretty much an alter ego. Give it a shot, but watch the trailer first.

Kick Ass - This was not what I thought it was going to be. It was WAY better. Lot of action, some good laughs, you are going to want to see this one.

The Losers - I thought this rocked. Funny AND there is pretty much non stop action. I also love movies with snipers. Enough said. If you like flicks like Die Hard, you need to hit this one!

How to Train Your Dragon - This in my opinion is one of the best animated films in years. It's soo well done, and the characters rock. This is great for kids OR adults. I might be slightly bias since Jay Baruchel is Canadian, but that is beside the point..lol.

Mother's Little Helpers - Now this flick is in post-production, so I have no idea how I got a copy. Either way I though I would give it a try. It sounded OK with Kyle Gallner (Jennifer's Body, A Haunting in Connecticut) as a guy trying to pay his school tuition by starting an escort service. It also has Denise Richards in it as one of the cougar's looking for the young boys to rock her world. Now let me tell you, this movie is freakin' terrible. The acting sucks, the story telling sucks and at the end I found myself saying, "this is it? Eff that." Now everyone should make up their own opinions, but I warn ya, you'll want that time back.

Is it bad that all these were just in the past couple days? There are a few that I'm leaving out for now and in a few weeks I'll throw another post on.
