SCOTT PILGRIM

So yeah, another chem class today....sadness and bitterness ensues...all that aside...
ITS NOW TIME FOR HAPPY MOVIE/SAD MOVIE REVIEW
Now we're gonna review a happy upbeat movie . So open up your hearts.

We're gonna start off with Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World...obviously the happy one...

Michael Cera's finest hour


So this movie is Directed by Edgar Wright, the man responsible for Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and many other gems. Its based on a comic written by Bryan Lee O'Malley that goes by the same name. This movie stars Michael Cera, and McKulley Caulken's little brother. Theres other actors but I don't know them. Either way though, the acting is pretty good, I found the movie to be very enjoyable. Its got a good bunch of video game references for all the dorks out there, its really amusing. That and other pop culture jokes, vegan powers, a seinfeld reference, cool action scenes, the works. Like I said, not a bad movie, a little ADD in my opinion, but I still find it enjoyable.

Try to explain that logically
So yeah, some great visuals, reaaaaal trippy! Cool music, very cool music. And the Action Scenes were, Im not gonna lie, pretty fucking awesome....*Spoiler Alert*.....Theres a fight between magical Dragons and a Yeti....*End Spoiler*

So yeah, its like a Musical, but instead of dancing, theres fighting! I give the movie a 4.5 out of 5....Im coming up with a better rating system sometime, so please bear with.

And to piss off you extreme fanboys.......Its Twilight for gamer boys! Peace!

All in all, I gotta say, I was really proud of Michael Cera in this movie, I never really liked him in his other movies, but I feel that now I really respect him as an actor.

Yup, the new face of acting

Peace

Edit: Sorry people, I had soul crushing movie up there because I was gonna review another movie alongside this one, but when it came down to it, I said fuck it Ill do it later. And I will...soon. Sooner than you think anyway.

Peace again.

Con Air: Possibly one of the best movies ever

Man today was looooooooooonnngg. Fortunately my night class ended without me dying and when I got home I cooked up some rice and sausage. Now what made the meal really enjoyable was what was playing on my tv. Con Air. Man oh man I love that movie, and it totally made my night having it show up to say hi to me on television. So Im gonna review it...
Noooo...not this...

So basically Nicholas Cage is an Army Ranger from Alabama. One night he goes to visit his pregnant wife at the bar she works at and she's getting harassed by a bunch of redneck drunks. Later they go outside and try to jump him for verbally defending her inside and possibly harm her. Cage uses his Ranger skills and incapacitates all of them. However he is sentenced to like 8 years in prison for using government granted awesomeness to defend his wife and himself. After waiting his time in prison he gets to be a free man, but as luck would have it John Malcovich and a million other awesome people take over the prison plane and set about trying to make their own escape. Since we all know Nicholas Cage is never an evil bastard, its safe to assume that he tries to stop those oh so dangerous criminals...and thats as much as I'm gonna say without spoiling it for those of you who haven't watched...

Oh yeah thats more like it

Otherwise on to the ratings!

Cast: 10/10!!! Includes Nicholas Cage, John Malkovich, John Kusach, Ving Rhames, Nick Chinlund, Steve Buscemi, Dave Chapelle, and Danny Trejo off the top of my head!
Action: 9/10 Takes awhile to pickup for you adrenaline junkies, but once it starts youll be holding in piss not to missout on some of those scenes.
Pacing: 10/10 Very logical and not rushed, this could very well have happened in 1997 lol
Plot: 10/10 Simple concept. What if prisoners took over a plane? Excellent Delivery of that plot!
Acting: 10/10 See any duds in the cast list? I didnt think so.
My favorite thing: Seeing Steve Buscemi contained like Hannibal Lecter lol.

 I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye.

If you've seen it before...watch it again. If you haven't seen it, go watch it...now!
