ok wow. Its been a while since Ive reviewed a movie and for good reason I think. Ok update. Since the last review Ive seen “A Haunting in Connecticut”, “The Fast and The Furious”, Ive been laid off and I just saw Crank 2. Hmmmm oh ya and all of my friends have been laid off too. 3 of us actually got laid off the same week. Except for Jorg-E….he got fired. He got caught stealing boxes on his day off. He was trying to build a club house.
The economy is dieing! Hurry people. For those of you that still have a job do this: PAY OF YOUR CREDIT CARDS…..buy American products with CASH.
I also produced a Senior Project at CSUN called “Chinese Checkers”. I’ll probably have that up on the site soon. The project is due at the end of the month. Im also prepping for the 48hr film project. No date announced yet but its always in June here in LA.
Man I need a new computer…..
I graduate in Dec and the state of California has announced that Summer school in the Cal State System will be canceled bc there is no money.
Ok well im starting to swing by the idea of never going to the movies again bc its WAAAAY to expensive. But there are just some movies I have to see on a 70ft screen. But I guess this is why I havnt seen too many movies. I use to go about 3-5 times a month and 5-8 in the summer but movies are too expensive now and they just suck. The gf made me see Haunting in Connecticut. It wasnt great and I had seen a documentary about it on History Channel. Then The Fast and The Furious was really just Fast and Furious 1.5 as it happens like 7 years after part 1 but before part 2. So imagine their characters are like 40 or 50 by the time Tokyo drift came around.
OK
CRANK 2
Crank 1 was cool. I really enjoyed it and Crank 2 is no different. The editing and cinematography is still the same. its all over the place in a good not nauseous way. The story is ridiculous and the plot twists are even more ridiculous but hey its a movie. Its fun and entertaining and it was worth my $9.75 student ticket. I had fun for 2 hours.
Ok so this one takes place right after part 1 ends. He falls out of the chopper, the chinese pick him up and rip out his heart. He wakes up 3 months later with a fake heart bc he is being kept alive so that his other organs may be harvested. The madness continues and havoc starts to come from it as Los Angeles becomes a war zone. From Hollywood to Santa Anita (or was it Hollywood park?) Chev tears it up about every 10 minutes. There are fights and shoot outs as well as sex and car chases every scene. There were just titties everywhere in this movie. Starts off in a whore house, goes to another whore house where he meets that ugly asian chick thats always on TMZ….Ling Bai??… Then he goes to a strip club, he then bangs Amy Smart in public again (looked like Jap porn bc the privates were pixelated…lol) then he ends up at the bad guys mansion where he has tons of hot chicks walking around topless…. so ya titties everywhere.
Bc he has a fake heart running on a battery, this time he needs to be electrically charged. No adrenaline this time. Blond Corey…Corey Haim makes a cameo in this movie as do several characters from part one. I dont know what else to say. I mean Id go see this again if i wasnt broke. I will buy this on blu ray in a few months.
ok now you movie goers in MAY will be having fun. The economy should get stimulated slightly. Every week in May has a major movie being released. The summer blockbusters are coming a month early and all in the same month.
May 1: Wolverine
May 8: Star Trek
May 15: Angels and Demons
May 21: Terminator Salvation (Thursday)
May 29: UP (not a blockbuster but it is PIXAR so it WILL make money and will be good)
There are a handful of “B” movies that will hit theatres in May like “night at the museum 2″ (may 22)…..”next day air”(may 8)….”ghost of girlfriends past” (May 1)
lol I actually worked on most of these movies before I got laid off.
ok so ya thats whats up for now and Ill be seeing that new Jack Sparrow/Batman movie tomorrow at a screener. Its about robbing banks in the depression era….i think…. ok ill find out tomorrow.
