Quick Movie Reviews: the sequel
Sequels typically suck, so if this post follows that trend, don't bother with part three when it comes around. I have watched a few movies and some tv shows in the depression following the Brewers elimination from the playoffs. Add that up with the Cards being six outs away from winning the World Series and shit is about to hit the fan. So here it goes.
Red State (starring John Goodman, Michael Parks, directed by Kevin Smith) 3/5
It's about three high school boys who go on a internet dating service to try to find somebody they can all fuck. Things go bad from there. It revolves around a crazy Phelps like church family, and involves gun play amongst other things. It had it's moments, it was creepy at times, but ended up being another movie I built up in my mind too much prior to seeing it. I'm not saying it was bad, just not great. It was a good movie, just took a while to get going. If you like horror movies, I'd recommend it.
Just For Kicks (rappers, shoe enthusiasts, random black people) 2/5
This is a documentary I saw on Netflix instant. It was alright, killed an hour and a half of a boring day. It is all about shoes and how rap and basketball influenced shoe companies. It spends the most time on RUN-DMC and ADIDAS and Air Jordans. It is cool to see some of the amounts of money people will spend on shoes. It is also sad how much some people will spend on them while living in what looks like shitty apartments in NY. If you like rap and shoes, check it out, otherwise don't bother.
From Dusk Till Dawn (George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette Lewis) 4/5
This isn't the first time I've seen this movie but it's been a while. Clooney and Tarantino are felons on their way to Mexico and need Lewis' family to help them across the border in their RV. When the get to Mexico they go to a titty bar and all hell breaks out as it turns out to be a vampire feast. I don't want to give away any more spoilers to this bad ass flick, but it is awesome. As a youngster, I liked it because of tits and gore.And as a much older man, I like it for the same reasons. My wife kept looking at me as if to ask, "Are you seriously watching this shit," and would then laugh at the campyness of it. It is on Instant now, so check it out.
Thor (Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins) 2/5
Thor gets banished to Earth(Midgard) from Asgard so he can learn humility and eventually take the throne from his father, Odin. Thor's brother Loki interferers and all hell breaks loose. While Thor is on Earth he meets a scientist, who trys to help him find himself.
Thor was a bad movie but not the worst I've ever seen. My brother said it was good and he was wrong, it had good parts but overall wasn't very good. I only watched it once and don't know if I'll ever watch it again. Part of me thinks I need to give it another shot, but I don't know if it's worth it. Some of the action parts were cool but all it did was get me excited for Avengers. I just hope Captain America is better than this was. If you are not into comics, don't bother.
That's it for now, the Cards are two outs away from being World Champs. I have to go find a bottle of pills to swallow.
