| Here's some movies I saw recently, some over the Christmas/New Year's Break. Gotta kill that block of time when you don't have to work. Although some movies made me want to get back to work early |

| Battle For the Planet of the Apes The final in the original movie series of Planet of the Apes. For the first 20 minutes, me, Mike and Pat didn't know what the hell was going on and Mike's a Planet of the Apes Expert! The sound mix was so terrible that the opening narration was getting its ass kicked by the overly-dramatic music. As Mike pointed out, the budgets for these things must've started drying up around the third one as one of us was heard to say "You can practically see where they ran out of money on that ape-chick's face!" Here's the plot: Some ape dude from the future tells us a story from his past (but still our future?) in 2639 about Ceasar the ape who's the son of these two other apes from the future who is leader now and then people are slav...Oh fuck it, who cares! There's some mutant human dudes (we know their mutants cos they don't have eyebrows!) from some crapped out city that start fucking with the apes in school buses and slow moving motorcycles. The march to battle by these dipshits was funny with them walking slow-as-balls, like they shit their pants. Then there's some stupid message on tolerance at the end or something. I don't know, but we were drinking beers and laughing at it. At least I didn't feel like I got kicked in the nuts like I felt after Tim Burton's remake! |

| The Grudge At first I was freaked the fuck out! Then the cat boy and girl kept doing the same shit over and over. You could set your watch to when they would pop out of a shadow. And then the scenes from the commercial popped up (with Sarah Michelle Gellar in the shower and a hand comes out of her head, and it didn't give her the finger or anything!). And then I just wanted it to end. It starts out scary then just repeats the same scares. It was made in Japan I think so maybe the film makers just wanted to finish it quickly so they could go watch "The Ring" or more anime with ridiculous giant robots everywhere. Whatever. This review is kinda like the movie. Its still going when it should have ended. |

| Dodgeball I like Vince Vaughn, I think he's awesome when he's smoking butts doing gymnastics and shit. And I like dodgeball too. And I think I like Ben Stiller, but I'm not really sure. He's so over the top in this that I think it takes away from the movie a bit. (And he's everywhere! He needs to learn to say "no" to his agent sometimes) There were some good shits in there, like Ben Stiller's gym, the "Go Balls Deep" banner, the other dodgeball teams, and Rip Torn's training but more missed opportunities. The Patches-O'Whatever-the-fuck instructional film from the 50's is OWNED by Troy McClure of the Simpsons, and Hank Azaria was in this one! And what the crap was that shit about the dude who thought he was a pirate? And then the stupid guy doesn't remember him at all? Fuck you! I wonder if these movies get the green light and then are shackled by the studios to dumb it down more or not be so crass to make more money. Or maybe like Anchorman and Envy, laziness set in. Anyway its funny, but this bastard made like $114 Million and the way everybody talked about it, I was expecting to laugh so hard, I'd shit myself. Sadly, at the end of the movie, my pants were still clean. Well maybe a skidmark. |

| 2004 in General I saw bits and pieces of this "Shrek 2" nonsense over Christmas. I'll admit that the animation looks sharp, but I fucking can't stand Eddie Murphy and now Mike Myers is getting long in the tooth. I'm still cleaning that shit "Goldmember" off my f'n rug. Could another movie be more annoying? I liked the first one, it wasn't that bad, but fuck you, Shrek 2! And that goes for all the Harry Potters too. Little bitch wizard boy who gets whatever he needs to get the job done. And that wizard game on the brooms? Harry Potter wins every one! Like the useless pod race in the Phantom Crap! Great lesson they're sending kids: You got too drunk to go to work today? Just put on your invisibility cloak! Harry Potter just go away! I didn't see Passion of the Christ yet. Every time I'm in the mood to watch a movie, the bloody beatdown of the savior of the world just isn't that appealing when I'm happy to be out of work and have some hours to enjoy. And when I feel like shit, I'm rarely in a movie store. I'm at the bar giving my body its own beatdown. Spiderman 2 was awesome! Team America? Fuck Yeah! The Villiage was good too, assholes, and I knew the ending going in! What you want from your movies, you shit bastards?! Van Helsing was a steaming pile of dung! Steven Sommers can kill a vampire faster than a wooden stake shot with a silver bullet through holy water. He sucks, as did the Mummy and Mummy Returns. Fuck you! |
