I don't have a higher taste in movies and I am not some pretentious guy who looks for the perfection in everything, this movie was ENTERTAINING, the effects were top notch, ALITA with her BIG EYES was insanely fun to watch and if you just fix the story line and fix few issues left and right, it could actually be an awesome flick.

However, the disappointment comes halfway when you're asking yourself, what's the setup here? I mean is this going to wrap up in one movie or is there something else, like the Infinity war where you just thought OMG it will end now but it turns out differently, it's the same setup in a way.

Overall, I hope it gets a sequel because the fight scenes were fantastic.

If you got nothing good to watch and you want to enjoy something slightly different, give this a go.

Now, excuse me while I find the source material and binge read the manga and watch the Anime.]]> Furious 7, A movie of epic proportions! R.I.P Paul Walker https://totseans.com/bbs/discussion/24956/furious-7-a-movie-of-epic-proportions-r-i-p-paul-walker Sun, 05 Apr 2015 17:07:49 +0000 Spurious Generalities Dfg 24956@/bbs/discussions

Anyway, I watched F7 just an hour ago in a jam packed Cinema and although I hate going to local Cinema's and it I was very lucky with the ticket, the movie was pretty good. I mean I just went to see Paul, the whole reason I was there was just to pay my respects in the form of watching his last flick.

The flick was just full of action, some hit and run comedy scenes and some character build up, but even if the movie sucked (which it didn't), the ending tribute was off the hook. It was just surreal, the best of the best, literally tear jerker.

So, if you can and I highly recommend you do, go watch this flick before it goes out of the cinema. Oh this Summer will be fucking awesome (for me).
]]> Review: The Words (2012) https://totseans.com/bbs/discussion/24813/review-the-words-2012 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 23:19:47 +0000 Spurious Generalities Dfg 24813@/bbs/discussions IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1840417

Let me say this before I start, I was glued to the screen for 1 hr 30 mins, I didn't take breaks, I was totally into the movie. However, when I finished I got curious and checked it's rating on RT, MC and IMDB. I wouldn't go with ratings on this one to be honest.


It's been a while since I wrote any review, heck I can't recall last movie I actually wrote about. And I have seen some good and bad titles in between. What makes this movie different is the simple fact that I am writing this review at 4 am in freezing cold.

This movie packs a punch, it's basically a rabbit hole which goes in deeper and deeper, it's overly complex but entertaining, if taken with a light dose of I WANT TO BELIEVE it successfully gets you to think about yourself.

I love books, I enjoy audio books, I always wanted to write something and I know I can't be great or good enough at it. Seeing the writer go through the challenges of being something, that really established my roll in the movie, I switched from being just an audience to a real character. I started seeing if I would follow the same path, if I would long for companionship, how would I handle myself if put in a situation which breaks you down.

In short, I was seeing my life in an alternate Universe. It could be I was vulnerable or in a state which wasn't ideal, but for more than an hour I was wished and hoped I could have something that the writer had.

As a reader I wished I could see visuals as described in the book, more than ever I just wanted to read that book, I wanted to see those words because it became an obsession. An unfortunately it remained an unfulfilled one to the end.

When the ending came and it did came sooner for me, I was left wondering what went on. I quickly read up on different twists and theories but I don't think any of them are valid because for me, this wasn't just some movie. It was a reminder of what I am missing and what I should do.

You may hate it, you may love it, but for me, I actually learned something from it.

]]> IJW: Let's Be Cops (2014) https://totseans.com/bbs/discussion/24762/ijw-lets-be-cops-2014 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 21:08:31 +0000 Spurious Generalities Dfg 24762@/bbs/discussions Before we dive into the review which I will try to keep short, this is a stupid cop movie, it's not a masterpiece, it doesn't want to stand out as the BEST MOTION PICTURE OF THE FUCKING CENTURY. It's just a stupid movie that may or may not work for you.

Critics hate it, oh the stupid old humor of buddies touching dicks and getting that lovin on, but for an average dude who is working and handling two different shits at the same time, it's a fucking comic relief. It's easy enough on the brain, it's fun and the humor just hits home.

Well, not all the time. But hey for something you downloaded for free and watched while handling stuff, I AIN'T complaining, and neither should you.

This movie talks about other issues as well, like holding yourself back and not following your dreams and not being able to fucking man up when you need to. You see two dudes who share the same brotherly bond and just want to get on with it.

You can relate to them in some way, but at the end of the day, you get to see some ball busting fun, the gags may or may not work. I suggest getting drunk and cranking the volume high.

Oh, that high head of yours with big analytical thinking, I SUGGEST YOU DROP IF OFF BEFORE YOU WATCH IT. Cause it ain't meant for that.

Anyway, if it's the weekend and you want to just watch a movie and get your mind off things and just chill. Give this a shot, you will either hate or enjoy it.

You will not remember it for long anyway. I enjoyed it, and I don't care if it sucks for others cause I got my stupid entertainment out of it.

SO, FUCK YEA!]]> IJW: The Angriest Man in Brooklyn (2014) ; The last of Robin Williams https://totseans.com/bbs/discussion/24743/ijw-the-angriest-man-in-brooklyn-2014-the-last-of-robin-williams Tue, 07 Oct 2014 12:28:22 +0000 Spurious Generalities Dfg 24743@/bbs/discussions http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1294970/

It may not be the greatest film, you can say the plot had holes in it, hell you even say the premise was weak, but one thing for sure, it was the last film Robin Williams acted in. And it hits home, hard.

I liked Robin Williams, I found out I really liked his work when I felt him pass away, dead does that to you I guess. This movie which I just watched and thought it would be funny actually made me cry like a girl who lost her parents. It made me think about my parents, my family and how my life has impacted them.

And it made me feel the loss of Robin, there are few key scenes which don't really stay in your mind for long but once you connect the dots with Robins actual life, they make sense. Even in the movie he says.

"On my tombstone it 'll say: Henry Altman 1951-2014. I never knew until now: it's not the dates that matters it's the dash."

It's ironic that he passed this year, it's cruel because he took his own life. The movie just reminds you again and again, how short things are and how you really should pay more attention to your loved ones.

I kept thinking about my parents and how I treated them and I how I still love them and how they're growing old each passing year, just yesterday dad admitted he can't see well and his senses are weak... that remark with this film just hit hard.

Life is cruel, I just hope that I can keep them happy. It also highlighted an aspect which I am running away from, it's called family. I am mostly a child free type but I can see the sense in having a good wife and a kid to pass on your wisdom and knowledge to.

Ah, overall as a movie that made me self reflect, I will give this 10/10 and since it's Robin Williams, I don't think I can rate his movies lower. Call it bias but that's just me.

Everything is Hollywood in that flick but that doesn't mean it's not tied to some reality. It hit home for me, I hope it hits home for others. Rest in peace Robin Williams. You're missed.


Now if you will excuse me, I need to spend some time with my family.]]> Hilarious Flick, 22 Jump Street is a complete package https://totseans.com/bbs/discussion/24738/hilarious-flick-22-jump-street-is-a-complete-package Thu, 02 Oct 2014 12:58:39 +0000 Spurious Generalities Dfg 24738@/bbs/discussions http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2294449/


Haters gonna fucking hate, yeah I said it. I fucking said it. I read some reviews on IMDB and reviewers were pacing around and calling this movie is shit and oh the comedy sucks. Well BOO HOO, I enjoyed it. It's not my fault you're stuck up regarding a comedy movie and you start to take life seriously, if you really wanted to watch something award worthy try other flicks.

If you watched 21 Jump Street and knew what this movie was about, you would love it, but if you're new and think your tastes are like err more ELEGANT, than fuck off. This is raw, fucking crude and fucking funny stuff that may or may not wiggle your dick. The humor is funny because it's wrong, it's bizarre yet fun.

Anyway, with that done. Lets review this flick. First of all, I dig the soundtrack, it's loud, bass heavy and I got a sub woofer, so yeah FUCK THAT BASS MOFO! Ahem, it fits few scenes and most of the shots are from partying so yeah it WORKS!

Plot, what plot? You kidding me? It has few twists and turns but not something you won't figure out, well it's obvious but honestly I didn't bother with it, I was too high on the pace of things and just wanted to get more out of the film which I did thanks to the Credits.

The film tends to make fun of itself which is OKAY, not something NEW but OKAY, lots of gay references which thanks to our trigger happy society might not be okay for everyone but for me, BWHAHAH yeah cuz both leads can totally fuck each other. Broromance right. Still funny.

I didn't expect much from this movie, but I watched it from start to finish and raised hell while doing it, the music oh yes I am sure my neighbors want to kill me, I even got a call to fucking turn this shit off. I fucking didn't.

I have been working for ages and I really needed some refreshing break, I had a selection of finest flicks that I can just sit and watch but I said to hell with it and watched this effing flick and I loved it. It may be cringe worthy to some but if you chill out, and enjoy, then this movie outshines anything else.

Also, the credits. HA, loved it. I think it's the only movie which I watched the complete credits. I usually skip them and just check if there is anything at the end but not with this flick.

It may NOT be for everyone but for anyone that enjoys this, holy shit brah, you are in for a treat.

A man goes on the run after he discovers that he is actually a "harvestable being", and is being kept as a source of replacement parts, along with others, in a Utopian facility.
So, the story is pretty much what the summary says, however, the left out one key bit, it stars fucking Scarlett Johansson with her puffy lips and that seduction routine. It's a huge distraction but I confess I actually watched the movie just for her, so even if the plot is a bit thin and it's just fucking loud bangs and explosions which I enjoyed btw, I still rate it higher. Although I do hate FUCKING MICHEAL BAY for not letting Scarlett Johansson go topless in this movie, I mean fuck trying to keep it PG-13, why would you fucking do that. But apart from that grudge, the movie was fairly decent, it has an easy to understand plot and gives a good idea however it's basically a rip of other movies and ideas, so there is nothing new. APART from ACTION, and when I say ACTION, I mean tons of action, car crashing, jumps, fights and explosions. It has Micheal Bay written all over it which is okay, plus it has some of the best shots that highlight Scarlett Johansson beauty and when you see them you immediately remember Transformers with Megan Fox. Overall, it's like 8/10 two points purely for Scarlett Johansson and 6 for the actual movie, if you're a fan of her, do watch it. She is sexy as fuck in this flick, hell all her flicks from 2005-2004 era she looks like the bomb. Although she is fine in Captain America as well. ]]>
