Limitless (I) (2011)
6/10
fun watch, should do well..
10 March 2011
Limitless wasn't bad at all..

they did some fun things with the camera....my lady gets motion sickness easily, so she had to look away... but i can't say too much bad about the movie..

the plot was pretty interesting, i think they expanded it well without making it too tough to follow...

that's was my biggest fear, that they were going to try to make the movie too smart to follow without being super duper focused....i mean being nit-picky there were a few things left out, and a few questions unanswered,...but it's not like it left you drastically unsatisfied IMO overall, it was a fun ride...deniro's character didn't dominate...neither did the chick abbie cornish...it was all bradley cooper from start to finish...

so much that it really comes down to if you think he had a convincing and enjoyable performance or not..... cuz the whole movie was basically him with a cool script, a super pill, and some fun with the camera...

nothing overly special....imo it was kinda like the TV show "psych" on steroids but not as campy.....(i love "psych" BTW) add in a few elements from the movie "wanted"....and you got limitless...

all in out i give it about 3/5 stars.. it's worth admission

Oh So Familiar
11 February 2011
Warning: Spoilers
OK the effects were great, the action was impressive....I mean visually, the movie was pretty good.

And I'll even say the acting was done well. The characters were charming, the pace was slow at times, but not dead boring slow.

My only problem was, how many times are we going to see the exact same story. I mean this was your typical teen drama....new kid..shady past... weird and wants to stay to himself, but there's always some cute chick who he risks everything for.

There's always bullies who hate that he's got the attention of the cute chick, so they always end up having a conflict. I mean 90% of this movie was your typical high school drama teen movie. And the "discovering" of his powers was like the alien version of spiderman.

I mean it's the same ole same ole....you explore and try to harness your new powers beating up bullies and jumping around where no one can see you until a super strong villain pops up you have to fight in the climax.

I mean as far as an overall success the positive things I mentioned originally (great effects, charming characters, impressive action) can for the most part salvage the movie. But if you're a fan of the genre, don't expect anything new. 3 1/2 outta 5 stars...

really good movie
20 November 2009
Great movie, A lot of good action, and fun all around. I was really worried about them messing the genre up by being too modern..but i think it was a really good effort...

i'm really into a lot of old school samurai, king fu, and martial art movies, and this one was about as good as a modern day ninja film could be...

lot's of gore and violence, which is great to me, simply because too many movie water down the violence in an attempt to draw in younger audiences, but this film knew exactly who their target audience was...and received a standing ovation as a result...

if u are expecting something fun, definitely check it out.....

best fight scenes ever!!!!!
11 August 2008
Warning: Spoilers
what made this movie for me was the fights.... i mean seriously, with the tempo of the movie and the creative approach to much of the action, i was still completely surprised that every fight scene would be the way it was..

those scenes made the movie for me.. i mean these guys were in life and death situations, and absolutely no one in the movie (with the exception of Rosie Perez) could fight worth a lick...

i had tears in my eyers. i would say i wish more movies had fight scenes like this one, but that's what made this movie unique...

hardest laughs ever

TMNT (2007)
9/10
turtle power
24 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This was a really good film for true turtle fans. It contained a really strong movie plot, that fits in with the comics and new animated series.

It was really entertaining.

If you ever where a real DBZ fan back in the day, it's kinda how the dbz movies used to compliment the main story line without doing too much outside the script for the movie.

I call it a success, they should keep it coming!!

I think the best two scenes were when karia was fighting the monster, and saw Leo, and instantly began fighting him.

ANd of course raph and Leo on the roof. everyone one forever agree with that one. it was like vegita vs goku

only if they were turtles and didn't have super powers.

but were still rivals

yea, it was good

Anime Talk Show (2004 TV Short)
10/10
so funny
9 January 2007
This is one of the funniest un-expected things I've ever seen on Adult swim ever.

Meatwad has emerged as one of my most favorite animated characters ever, his timing was perfect. Everything was hilarious, but i haven't seen this since it came on that one time, is there anywhere i can go to see this??

But this review may bbe a little inaccurate simply because t's been like 2 years since i've seen it.

but neverthe less extremely funny. and very well thought out. It was clever too, cuz like everyone was expecting to see this funny new show, and here we are with meatwad just being funny
