Movies

I know I haven't been posting movie reviews. That is because I have almost been too busy to watch them and I have been too busy to post about them. My life has been crazy busy the past couple of weeks. Nothing note worthy, though. My parents took a vacation and a trip to Texas to see my sisters and my niece. They were gone 8 days. What a fun time for me. Honestly the only part about being at work alone that sucks is that I am here all day (7 till 7). That makes for a long day and then I went to the gym and got home around 9. Also I have finally fully recovered from food poisoning. I also got to take care of their dog while they were gone and that was interesting. Every morning around 2 she would get up and pick a fight with Thor. That was no fun. Moving on. In the past two weeks there have been movies released that I want to see and there have been 4 movies I watched on DVD. I really want to see "300". It looks awesome and it is playing in Crested Butte and it might be worth going up there. I hate CB and I only go up there if I get paid to. "300" might be payment enough, we will see. The 4 movies I watched were Mission Impossible 3, Scary Movie 4, Snakes on a Plane, and Jet Li's Fearless. I am going to go from best to worst.

Jet Li's Fearless. This was by far the hands down best movie I watched. It is an awesome movie and I highly recommend it. Jet Li's character is an impressive martial artist and is striving to be the best in his country. He succeeds but at a very high price. He never learns control and to pull back until very painful and horrible things happen. He wanders around and almost dies after his family is killed and a village takes him in and gets him back to health. They teach him restraint and how to live amongst people. He comes back to the world he left only to see great change. He starts a school (which is still open and growing after all these years) and then makes a deal to fight 4 people with the government which is corrupt. He wins the first 3 easily but is poisoned during the 4Th. He wins the fight, but dies shortly after. All in all this movie is excellent. I rate it 9 out of 10.



Snakes on a Plane. I have to admit it, part of this movie freaked me out. I really enjoyed this movie. It is a guilty pleasure that we all have seen, but no one admits it. This movie is simple and delivers just as it promotes. Deadly snakes set loose on a plane and they go nuts because of the pheromones that have been sprayed onto lays and given to passengers as they leave Hawaii for L.A. I hate snakes and that is what freaked me out. I know this movie isn't even probably because I really believe most of these snakes would have killed each other before being released out of their crate. Anyway, it is a great guilty pleasure movie and I recommend it. I give it 8 out of 10.

M.I.3. This movie was as it portrayed itself. I enjoyed the movie. I am sure all of you have seen it, so I won't go into the details. Double crossed by the government and the usual stuff. I liked the movie for the pure action flick and the nice fact that I could get into the movie and lose myself for a bit. For a decent action flick, this is a good choice. I rate it 7 out of 10.

Scary Movie 4. Hilarious movie. It is a fun movie that makes fun of all of the other thrillers. I own all of them and they crack me up. This one isn't as good as 3, which wasn't as good as 2, which wasn't as good as the original. This is almost always the case in sequels. But, it is still a funny movie. Don't expect anything serious or a plot that goes anywhere. It lives up to what it is: A funny movie poking fun at serious movies. Rent it on a day that you don't want to think, want to get lost in something making fun of something, and you just need a quick laugh. I rate this movie 7 out of 10.

Alright, there are my movies reviews that I have been slack on. Until my next post, don't do anything I wouldn't do and the easy ones at least twice.
