Review
I was looking forward to this movie,a friend of mine told me it was crap so I decided to watch it at home instead.I was tempted by the trailer and I did enjoy Bettany's acting until now.Priest is definitely up there in one of the top worst movies for this year.The acting was horrendous.Why oh why did Paul Bettany take up this movie? what did Scott Charles Stewart do to get Bettany to be in his second movie.This is the fucker who did Legion.At least Legion was bearable,it had a good start but fucked up in the end.But Priest was fuckall from the get go.Definitely one of the worst introduction of characters or story ever.And the ending is so fucking abrupt,I was like,"what the fuck? That's it??"
I knew Karl Urban would make a good bad guy but he choose the wrong movie to be one.A priest turned vampire who wears a fucking worn out cowboy hat.Really??? Wow...
Maggie Q,well.. she was pretty much acting like how she has acted in her other movies,just another pretty face with no substance but just legs.
I'm also pretty sure the script was written by some who is mildly retarded.What kinda lanjiao lines are these? Priest: You make a good priest. Guy:Thanks. Priest:don't get that over your head. What The fuck was that????
I sincerely hope Jennifer Connelly(Paul Bettany's wife) would slap some fucking sense into this idiot so he would stop choosing shit movies like Priest.And fuck you Scott Charles Stewart for possibly ruining Bettany's career and wasting my fucking time and bandwidth for this shit.

Do not even bother with this shit movie. Go watch Paul instead. Fuck the Priest.

movie Review of Paul

Paul - 7.5/10

Directed by Greg Mottola

Cast - Simon Pegg,Nick Frost,Seth Rogen,Sigourney Weaver,Jason Bateman

Plot Summary

Two British comic-book geeks traveling across the U.S. encounter an alien outside Area 51.

Review

Yet another Simon Pegg/Nick Frost collaboration but this time its not part of their Blood and Ice cream series.I loved Shaun of the dead and Hot fuzz and I couldn't wait to watch this movie.And as expected,I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.Paul has so many classic movie references,you will definitely laugh.If you weren't a movie buff,Paul would not be as enjoyable.There were so many times,I was the only fucker laughing in the cinema out loud cause I discovered yet another cool movie reference.

Kudos to Greg Mottola of Superbad fame who does a decent job directing.

Editing for Paul was fantastic.The cuts were perfect for the comedic timings.The script was pretty good but doesn't come close to the sheer brilliance of Shaun of the dead's script.The pro evolution scenes were well done.If Christians cant take a joke(they usually don't) then they should give this movie a miss.

The chemistry between Pegg and Frost is proven and fantastic.Their comedic timing are impeccable.Despite a rather slow start,you will be warmed up to Paul and midway through,you will be hooked to it.Jason Bateman,Bill Hader and Jo Lo Truglio as the cops after Paul,were fucking funny as well.But like the movie,it'll take awhile to get used to them.Cameos from Sigourney Weaver and Jeffery Tambour were cool as well.Seth Rogen did a good job voice acting Paul the weed smoking,beer drinking,vulgar alien. I thought I would be annoyed by his voice ever since Green Hornet,but it never did.Apparently he had to ask advice from Andy Serkis about doing the proper movements and voice.

Worth watching on a weekend if you are a Sci-Fi movie buff.You will not regret it.

Movie Review of Thor

Thor - 7/10

Directed by Kenneth Branagh

Cast - Chris Hemsworth,Natalie Portman,Tom Hiddleston,Anthony Hopkins,Idris Elba

Plot Summary

The powerful but arrogant warrior Thor is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard and sent to live amongst humans on Earth,where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.

Review

I watched this movie when it was released but hadn't the time to do a review for it so here it is now.Now I'm not a big fan of Thor comics so I wouldn't know much of him,just the basics like he is from Asgarth and he is Odin's son.The movie did give me a little bit more insight of the character but its best to read the comics.

Its very unusual of Kenneth Branagh to do a movie like this.I got to say he did a pretty decent job.Casing wise however I think is much to be desired.Chris Hemsworth as Thor was good.I do not know much about Chris and the only other movie I can remember him was in Star Trek.He was James T.Kirk's father.Apparently he over bulked up for Thor and had to downsize abit so as to be able to wear the costumes.His acting is pretty decent and I would like to see him in other movies.Anthony Hopkins looks very bored and very old in this.Perhaps,another actor who is slightly younger should have done the role of Odin instead.Natalie Portman was annoying.Half the fuck time she is whining or screaming.And I don't know why but ever since Black Swan,its like she has done about 3000 movies cause I see her in almost every movie in the cinema now.The best actor for this movie is definitely Tom Hiddleston as Loki.It was such a pleasure every time he comes on screen.I havent seen any of his movies,but judging from his performance for Thor,expect big roles for this guy.I do not know why Hollywood has to be so fucking politically correct and all that bullshit..I mean for fuck sake..getting Idris Elba as Heimdall the guardian of Asgard? Have you ever seen a black Viking or a black god in Valhalla? COME ON!!! even in the movie,he has the worst job..fucker is supposed to be a guardian but so many people have sneaked in and out of Asgard.

The designs and visuals for Asgard is really beautiful and well done.Even though I despise watching movies in 3D,I could imagine these scenes in 3D to be pretty cool.Direction as mentioned earlier was a pretty decent job.The script was good.the few light hearted scenes were funny.Even the standard Stan Lee cameo was funny.Editing was done nicely and the camera works and cinematography was good.

All in all if you are a fan of comics and The Avengers,you should watch this movie.

Also do not forget to watch the scene after the credits.

movie review of Rango

Rango - 8.5/10

Directed by Gore Verbinski

Cast - Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher,Ray Winstone,Bill Nighy

Plot Summary

Rango is an ordinary chameleon who accidentally winds up in the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West in desperate need of a new sheriff.

Review

What a fantastic animated movie.It has been a while since I laughed so hard almost every 5 mins.I was pleasantly surprised.I simply loved the script.Definitely one of the best script for an animated movie.Not only has the main characters have some really funny lines,I felt the other characters had some really good scenes as well.Johnny Depp was definitely suited to be Rango.I doubt there is no one quirky enough to do the role.Bill Nighy and Ray Winstone were absolutely brilliant as the bad guys.And their voices are so recognizable.

I managed to watch the making of and it was a very interesting way of filming an animated movie with motion captures and all.and all the cast were involved together unlike the traditional voice acting.

Now not only were the voice acting and script fantastic ,I got to say the animation department did a fine job as well.I'm not really an animation fan,but Rango took the cake for me.Right from the characters appearance, to the close ups and the textures as well.Kudos to that.

There are also some movie references which perhaps only avid movie goers will get.For me I loved the Hunter Thompson reference and of course the Eastwood one.I enjoyed this movie so much,there is a high possibility I might watch it again.

Definitely worth watching on a weekend. Rango is a must watch!

Movie review of Battle Los Angeles

Battle Los Angeles - 4/10

Directed by Jonathan Libesman

Cast - Aaron Eckhart,Michelle Rodriguez

Plot summary

A Marine Staff Sergeant who has just had his retirement approved goes back into the line of duty in order to assist a 2nd Lieutenant and his platoon as they fight to reclaim the city of Los Angeles from alien invaders.

Review

Definitely one of the worst alien invasion movie, I have watched.Pretty much everything was bad.I really liked Aaron Eckhart in Thank you for smoking and of course his titular character Two face in Dark knight.But in this movie,he was overacting so much and he had so much screen time,you wouldn't know who the rest of the actors that were with him at all.Michelle Rodriguez for once did not fucking die halfway through the movie.To be honest,only she was pretty decent in this shit movie.Every fucking thing was marines this and marines that....Battle Los Angeles was glorifying the marines so much that they can use this movie for their marketing department to get more recruits.And of course the only lines they have are silly so called motivational words like hoorah and some stupid word after one shouts "retreat".As the movie goes past the hour mark,the marines starts getting more annoying.And the end scene,where Aaron Eckhart and his men refills their ammo and begin to go back,that was a blatant rip off from Black Hawk Down and it pissed the fuck out of me.Cheebye...have a little originality, Hollywood!

The aliens looked like fuck.They looked like octopus or jellyfish with guns attached to their tentacles.In one scene,the marines took quite a while to figure out how to kill the alien,they had to cut the fella here,stab the fella there several times and in the pool scene,they pretty much finished their ammo killing ONE alien.But after awhile,shooting the aliens was like peeing on ants.

For a high budget movie,this has the worst cinematography ever.It was like all the cameramen had epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. Camera work was so shaky,half the fuck time you as the viewer will have no idea what the fuck is going on.

Editing was also horrendous,there was one obvious cut where you could see Aaron Eckhart holding a hand held gun first and shooting then next cut you see him taking his gun out.Fucked up.

Fuck you Jonathan Libesman for making Michael Bay look like Stanley Kubrick.I sincerely hope this fucktard does not make another movie again.

Do not bother paying a single cent to watch this shitfest of a movie.Just go and watch Independence Day again...trust me you will be entertained.
