Movie Bites

We recorded this back in May, and I just never got around to doing anything with it. Movie Bits is an idea we had where we just talk about stuff, try to keep it film related but usually fail. We may do more of these in the future, but for now enjoy this little flash back into a time when we were still doing our kick starter and enjoying the summer movie season.

Monday Review: Pitch Perfect

"Beca, a freshmen at Barden University, is cajoled into joining The Bellas, her school's all-girls singing group.  Injecting some much needed energy into their repertoire, The Bellas take on their male rivals in a campus competition." - IMDb

So, I'm trying something a little different this time, and I'm actually writing this review while the movie in question is literally on, and I've had a few drinks, and I've been cajoled into writing a review. (See what I did there?  What a fucking weird, yet oddly precise word choice there IMDb) ... So anyway, oddly enough, the reason the movie is on is because I'm kind of obsessed with this movie.  But before you call me gay or lame or whatever, allow me to defend it for a second or two...

I've always liked music and musicals and stuff like that.  Even music that is probably lame, or so you say...whoever you are!  But anyway, this movie is kind of like Glee, but if it were totally not pretentious or trying to relay a message or any of that nonsense.  This is basically a college comedy with less nudity (sadly none) but plenty of attractive ladies to look at, more clever jokes, and a bunch of nifty popular/classic music mash-ups...it's just really solidly put together and I try to get people to watch it with me, and I'm often met with, "whatever fag, make me a sandwich!"  Ok that has never happened...but when people roll their eyes at the suggestion, it feels the same...*sniffle*

All in all, this movie does very little to take itself seriously, which more than anything else, draws me to it.  I think the movie is really funny.  It also takes a different path as far as the plot goes than most movies do, but it's just formulaic enough to keep you interested.  It's kinda like a refreshing take on an old story, with a lot of singing in it, but not Disney/Highschool the Musical/Glee type bullshit.  

Really though, this movie is like a choir kid's wet dream, so, you might not actually like it...so bite me.  I'm gonna have another drink and continue watching some hot funny bitches sing songs I know.

Movie of the Week: Sharknado

This is a perfect storm of awesome sauce. I wanted ridiculous, crazy, stupid, fun, and that is what I got. I laughed so hard at this movie. Schlocky CGI, mixed with bad stock footage, shaky cam during a stationary car scene, great terrible acting, and insane events. We are talking about a Waterspout Tornado picking up sharks, launching them at people, and eventually flying a helicopter to fight them. Plus Tara Reid doing something that seems like acting! There are parts where you see deep under water shots of sharks that are suppose to be in the flooded streets of California. Or shooting a flying shark in  the head to make him stop flying. The Hollywood sign even kills a guy. What's even better is that the main people in this are the only people effected by this, no one else seems to notice anything is even happening. This one is easy, you grab some drinks, gather your friends, and prepare for the worst. You will not regret it. Syfy channel has done it again with an amazing horrible b movie that is so bad, it's good.

The Last Stand Review Podcast

Seven Psychopaths Review

If you watch the trailer below first like I did, you probably won't want to watch this movie. It just does not sell the movie that well at all. Hell, I downloaded it for us to do a podcast review of it and none of us cared enough to watch it. I should have just looked at the cast and trusted at the very least Christopher Walken to entertain me. At the moment I'm broke and don't have netflix any more and most shows I watch have ended their seasons for the summer time so now I'm left with my thumb up my ass, bored out of my mind. I thought about reviewing a video game because that's all I've done aside from watch youtube videos. So today comes, and it's my day to review something, and I had no idea what to do. Finally I remembered that I have a backlog of movies saved that I haven't watched that were all potential Knight's reviews that fell through.

Hit And Run Review

"Former getaway driver Charlie Bronson jeopardizes his Witness Protection Plan identity in order to help his girlfriend get to Los Angeles. The feds and Charlie's former gang chase them on the road." - IMDB

I saw the preview for this movie wasn't sure what to make of it. I had no desire to see it in theater bur when it came to redbox I got it. Dax Shepard plays a guy in witness protection, his girl friend (played by Kristen Bell) get a job offer but has to move for it. Rather than lose his girlfriend, Dax decides to brake protocall and leave to take his girlfriend to her interview. Her Ex boyfriend  played by Michael Rosenbaum fears that Dax is going to kill her, fallows them, find out his real name and uses that info to inform the criminal that Dax is hiding from where he is. This leads to some crazy car chases and some nice driving.

Dax Shepard wrote and co-directed this movie and I gotta say, I enjoyed it. The humor was right up my alley and the writing was pretty good. The car chases were really fun and it has a great comedic cast. Dax really shines in this movie. There is not much to say about it, other than it's a solid 3 star movie and worth your time to check out.

Movie of the Week: Deadfall (1993)

My choice for movie of the week Deadfall starring Michael Biehn, Sarah Trigger, and Nicolas Cage in the best performance of his life. Here is IMDB's summery: "After he accidentally kills his father, Mike, during a sting, Joe tries to carry out Mike's dying wish by recovering valuables that Mike's twin brother Lou stole from him years earlier. But Uncle Lou is also a confidence artist, and Joe is soon drawn into his increasingly dangerous schemes."

This movie fucking Blows. It is a heaping pile of shit. But I love it. Nic Cage is so god damn funny in this movie, and he is not even in the whole thing. His part is over after a the fist half. I recommend watching this with friends and good drinks. It used to be on Netflix but not any more but you can find it on Amazon streaming. Here is the trailer and then after that a NSFW (Titties and swearing) clip of some of Nic Cage at his finest.

Todd and the Book of Pure Evil

In my constant search to be entertained, it's rare that I am turn on to a new show by an animated gif. This was the animated gif that a saw.

I laughed pretty hard at that. Reading the comments imgur, I come to find out it was from Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. Once I heard the name of the show, I knew I had to check this out. So I did a quick google search and found it was on Netflix. I squealed with joy, as I often don't find what I want easily.
