The Big Bang (2011)
A private detective is hired to find a missing stripper. A simple job turns complicated when everyone he questions ends up dead.
The big bang theory. A jazzy, flashy and stylized missing person mystery, With a dash of sci-fi and love! This was quite a package, who would’ve thought?
Antonio Banderas stops playing a puss… in boots, and returns to his suave and badass self. The man has still got the skills. I must say this really hit me from out of nowhere. Which makes me extremely excited for The Skin I Live In (2011).
Goons, girls and guns! Crime has never been cooler… and cheesy! Nice touch with the cameos and strong supporting cast. Lot’s of cliche lines and a crazy attempt at becoming god, this film was a bit out there. I say it’s safe to say “expect the unexpected”.
This also had some treats for the eyes. Some nice scenes with energy and beautiful color. This is a film which definitely had a lot of post editing and CGI. Which makes me able to call it a “fantasy”. With characters that belong in films like Sin City (2005) or Shoot ‘Em Up (2007). It’s a bit crazy…
Talking quantum physics while doing “it”…
The “god” particle - This tidbit/theory woke up the nerd in me. It has intrigued me for quite some time, a possibility not as far fetched as you’d think. Some call it “the secret to life”.
“You gotta understand, everything behaves like a particle in a wave at the same time until something is actually observed. Because of the same multiple states of reality simultaneously. Then only you actually observe anything, anywhere in the universe, to change it. And if that thing is entangled in a relationship with anything else, it changes still, instantly. And that’s faster than a speed of light. But you know what? Nothing’s faster than the speed of light. It’s real-life magic…”
The women were hot, the cops were dubious, the scientists were crazy druggies and Banderas carried them with his narrative. Fun and simply entertaining, nothing to take too seriously. The end was somewhat odd… One of those insane action mystery thrillers your dad will love.
Style over substance? Possibly… but nevertheless fun.

Hanna (2011)
A 16-year-old who was raised by her father to be the perfect assassin is dispatched on a mission across Europe, tracked by a ruthless intelligence agent and her operatives.
Little girl… who packs a lot more than you think.
I was expecting a sappy hunter daughter drama, about life death and love…
Director Joe Wright does it right! An action angle to his dramatic taste. Atonement (2007), Pride & Prejudice (2005) and The Soloist (2009) were great. Now he spices it up with a Bourne Trilogy (2002-2007) intensity. Stunning and reminiscent of many spy/assassin films.
Starring the always amazing Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana, both bring “winning” to the table. The Lovely Bones (2009), Saoirse Ronan… those eyes! A great future is ahead of her. What an amazing cast, even the villains had that memorable “umph!”. Fantastic!
And then… the motherfuckin’ Chemical Brothers start playing in the background. Awesome!
This reminded me of so many chick flick kick ass action blockbusters. Too many to freakin’ mention, but this film still holds it’s own/originality. Yeah, it’s that good.

Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical (2005)
An outrageous tongue-in-cheek musical comedy adaptation of the classic 1936 anti-marijuana propaganda film.
BWAhahahahahaha! why did i not see this stoner?!? (sooner)
Kristen Bell, Christian Campbell, and John Kassir all reprise their Off-Broadway roles, for this made for television musical. An all out mockery of the weed bashing film Tell Your Children (1936) aka Reefer Madness.
Welcome to the paranoid world of the 30’s. Where knowledge about marijuana was exaggerated or accused of ridiculous claims/side effects. Making pot look more dangerous than cocaine or heroin, it will make you violent and eventually incurably insane -> Don’t knock (try to understand/label) it until you try it.
Really funny stuff! The texture and overall vibe was like that of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (2008), but with POT… and Jesus!!! The cast and production was great! Add to that the presence of famous tv babe Neve Campbell and the “he was perfect for this role” Alan Cumming.
It’s starts off like the classic “don’t do drugs” film, in black and white. And then becomes colored and the laughs roll in. Teens and adults are taken down an addictive avenue to self destruction, your typical drug movie.
Science, evidence and proof has come a long way since the 30s. Vintage black propaganda against marijuana, instilling fear on something that should not be feared. Can’t blame folks for believing it THEN, NOW we can just laugh at it (because we’re smarter and know the TRUTH).
This was insanely fun (though i didn’t quite like the lyrics), the song & dance numbers were good and the jokes ranged from snickering to hilarious. Of course it ends with “drugs are bad M’kay”, but we all know what’s up. This is a mockery of a mockery, Pot is NOT BAD, it was simply misunderstood.
A reminder that the powers that be (politics/religion) can influence us so much to believing their lies. Confusing right from wrong. Tsk tsk tsk… Media has such a strong influence, especially back then.
A film best viewed “baked as fuck” with friends.

Jack Falls (2011)
Former undercover police officer Jack Adleth returns to London seeking those who tried to have him killed in Amsterdam.
Jack Fails… What the hell was i thinking? The poster should have been a dead giveaway…
Sin City (2005) style/ripoff but… crappier. Way to go UK!
Upon looking at ALL Paul Tanter’s work we see a common denominator. Black, white and red… blood splatter patterns. Ladies and gentlemen, originality has left the building.
The acting was bad, the story was ok but still bad, the dialogue was cliche and visuals were… “my 13 year old cousin does that”. A cheap digital film, loaded with different effects styles (in hopes to be “cool”? i didn’t get it).
I thought this was gonna sneak up behind me and offer more than your typical revenge flick. This was extremely boring…

V for Vendetta (2006)
A shadowy freedom fighter known only as “V” uses terrorist tactics to fight against his totalitarian society. Upon rescuing a girl from the secret police, he also finds his best chance at having an ally.
Words cannot express how much i loved this movie. Despite not being entirely true to the graphic novel, this political action flick has truly impressed me.
James McTeigue brought the characters to life and did so in such an entertaining way. It’s about the small things like, the well choreographed fight sequences and decision to keep “one” mask and play with shadows to add “emotions” to V. It was darkly beautiful and embodied the message (of Alan Moore) quite well.
It had a great cast! Hugo Weaving, dubbing performance was astounding! The man is a thespian. He had me at his “introduction”. Whimsical and yet frighteningly brutal and cunning, V is a freakin’ badass.
Natalie Portman received multiple acclaims for her performance. And received media notoriety by shaving her hair off. There was never a doubt about her acting skills.
Veteran John Hurt adds the sleaziness of political power, and dictates his control of the masses with gusto and authority. The rest of the cast were amazing as well, The UK stars came out and showed their acting swag. An almost perfect ensemble.
This film does have it’s holes and weaknesses, but the overall enjoyment and underlying issues are stupendous, and thought provoking. Leading some of us to think about our our countries political structure and adding some color to (currently) conspiracy theories.
TRIVIA: The original comic series was originally created by Alan Moore. However, following his negative experience with From Hell (2001) and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), Moore decided to reject all money and credit from Hollywood on any adaptations of his work. Thus, he gave all the money he would’ve gotten to the artist who drew the character with him, and rejected his own “created by” credit from the film. And V’s cause was anarchy, not freedom.
“I am a god fearing man” says Roger Allam, which also connects current issues about separation of church and state. FEAR, is the enemy. Get over fear and win your freedom!
*And on a personal note, i think this is the best The Wachowski Brothers has presented. I love their films, but this had more to it. More so because i live in a country that overcame an infamous Martial Law dictatorship.
This is one of those films that definitely belongs in my Top 10 Comic Book Movies!

Drive Angry (2011)
A vengeful father escapes from hell and chases after the men who killed his daughter and kidnapped his granddaughter.
Ha ha ha ha ha! I couldn’t help myself. I just HAD to see this. And since there’s nothing original about this 3D film, i will explain it with movies:
Ghost Rider (2007) + Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000) = Nicolas Cage’s character in this film. The spirit of vengeance with a car…
The action and ridiculousness is like Shoot ‘Em Up (2007), which i think would’ve made a great 3D flick BTW. They even copied the sex scene gunfight *sigh*
The story/chase was like The Prophecy (1995), including “the child”. Mixed with a Ghost Rider (2007)-ish mythology, disobeying/escaping Satan’s dominion. And the overall feel of the film was like End of Days (1999). It’s a hellish action bonanza!!!
Amber Heard, what can i say? H.-fuckin’-O.T. definitely Bang-able. Bad guy William Fichtner was perfect! stiff and odd looking dude. I loved how he “compromises”. The cult-ish folk were that of any other film.
Trivia: The name of Nicolas Cage’s character is John Milton. This is likely a reference to Paradise Lost, an epic about Satan’s expulsion from Heaven and the creation of Hell, which was written by John Milton.
It is what it is, an action film with cheesy lines and a hell lot of cursing. Definitely not for the kids. Fun and shallow at the same time, which was exactly what i needed at the time i caught this. I wouldn’t spend to see it.

“We’re dicks! We’re reckless, arrogant, tumblr dicks. And the Twitter Users are pussies. And Mark Zuckerberg is an asshole. Pussies don’t like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they lurk too much or troll when it isn’t appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves… because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don’t know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don’t let us fuck this asshole, we’re going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!”

The Next Three Days (2010)
A married couple’s life is turned upside down when the wife is accused of a murder.
First off, i must say “I did not expect this, way better than what i had anticipated”. My preconceived notions were that of a sappy prison drama.
Director Paul Haggis impressed me with his fast paced crime thriller. A woman wrongly accused, or is she? - But “who cares” says her devout husband. Great family message in this, never give up on those who are closest to you (no matter what).
The movie stars Russell Crowe, as the persistent husband who cannot accept his wife’s fate and Elizabeth Banks (It’s been a while, but she’s still looking good) as his significant other who’s lost the fight. The two brought good chemistry on screen. Crowe was splendid, as usual.
And adding to the cast are some short bits from: Liam Neeson, (Damn!) Olivia Wilde and Daniel Stern (what? he’s back!). Neeson is everywhere nowadays.
So we have a dramatic crime film wherein we are left guessing ‘til the very end. Very well paced and thrilling to watch, how “the plan” unfolds with the accompaniment of obvious problems. What a freakin’ awesome husband.
So there are a few issues viewers may have to the authenticity of the story and how things came about. Luckily this is a movie, and not based on a true story. So leave scrutiny by the door, sit back and enjoy.
