R-nudity, F bombs left n right
Jason Statham stars in another action packed movie, although this one, unlike his others, is also a comedy. Fun stuff, right? Yep, it is. Crank is a movie about Chev Chelios (Statham) who wakes up to find that he was injected with some Asian posion, and is going to die within an hour. Or is he? With the help of his druggie doctor friend, he finds there is something that can temporarily put off the poison. Adrenaline. But only temporarily. So Chelios sets out to kill his injector, while keepin' himself pumped all the way there. This movie has a nice ratio of action and comedy, even making it, at one point, my favorite movie. Anyways. Napoleon Dynamite fans will recognize Chelios's other friend is played by "Vote for Pedro" Pedro. Interesting role, my friend. And if you've seen Starsky and Hutch or Just friends, you will recognize Amy Smart, who plays Chelios's stupid girlfriend. Tis a good movie, fans of RocknRolla, the Transporter movies, and movies such as that should enjoy this.

Brüno-7.5/10
R- much male nudity 'n such
I was a pretty big fan of Borat. It took me a while to get to it, but when I did watch it, I liked it. This guy, Sacha Baron Cohen, is an amazing actor, he plays Borat in Borat and this year played Bruno in Brüno. This movie is about a has-been male fasion model and his attempts to become famous as he once was. And he's gay. This movie is as funny, if not funnier then Borat, although all the homosexual stuff got a bit annoying. As with Borat, this movie also is supposeably filmed in front of real people, with real people. Which in and of itself is the funniest stuff. As I once told someone, "Reactions are everything" and this movie also shows that reactions are also hilarious. This movie is funny, but a good many would be offended by the nudity and all the other homo stuff. Fans of Borat should definitely like this movie.

Enter: December!
Whew. My first month of this blog is complete with a total of 29 movie reviews. Thank you, Kairi and Geo Rok for the comments, as I would not continue this blog if there was no audience, so a round of applause for you guys (especially Kairi). I've looked through these posts, and would like to apologize for spelling errors and such. It happens. I'm sorry. But moving forward! The glorious month of December. Let me give you a small hint as to what to expect this month.
Hint: Chances are, there's going to be some Christmas movies reviewed
Hmm a very vague hint you may say, by the time you decipher it, it will probably be too late. I will continue with the new pattern I've set: 1 movie a day, published at 1:00pm my time (California). Again, thanks for reading, and be sure to tell all your friends about this blog!

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 -3.4/10
R- John Travolta swears much more then he did in Grease
Nothing like a good ol' hostage situation, eh? With some negotiating here and some negotiating there. And what if you throw in a hijacking! Sounds fun, right? And how about to top it off, throw in John Travolta (Grease) and Denzel Washington (Dejavu)! Well now that story right there... Sucks. This movie is about a guy (Travolta) who hijacks a subway train, stops it, and holds everyone hostage. The local subway intercom man (Washington) is the man set to negotiate and all that so the cops can stop him. This movie was way drawn out, and I'm sorry Johnny boy, but you are not a good gangster. Your repeated "motherf******" went from enough, to comical, and then to annoying. Give it up. I've never been a Denzel fan and this movie gives me more reason not to be. This movie, if nothing else, has a working storyline, it just wasn't played out well, and some incidents were too incredibley coincidental. The only kind of people I think would particularly like this movie are Denzel Washington fans, as he plays his normal role as a confused man who tries to help people.

Best in Show-6.8/10
PG-13 -Language, suggestive themes
Have you ever watched any dog shows? It's pretty boring usually, but there something to watch, dogs getting evaluated 'n such. This movie takes you behind the scenes in a mock documentary type comedy way. The movie focuses on 5 (I think...) of the dogs entering the show, and there oddball owners. From the boring bloodhound owner, to the crazy poodle lesbians. This movie is pretty funny, with many funny actors including Eugene Levy (American Pie), John Michael Highins (Yes Man), Jane Lynch (Role Models), Fred Willard (this guy is in everything), and Jennifer Coolidge (Legally Blonde). Some may not like the gay or lesbian couple in this movie, as they are stereotypical extreme homos. Which makes this movie even funnier. I gotta say, it was nice seein actors such as John Michael Higgins and Jane Lynch in bigger roles, in most movies I've seen they've played side characters at best. I'd recommend this movie to fans of such comedies as Role Models and comedies with above named actors.

In Bruges-7.8/10
R-language, some drug use, and blood
This movie is about the effects following an assassin's mistake of accidentally killing a child. The assassin is played by Colin Farrell (SWAT, Minority Report) and plays the role well. Keep in mind this movie takes place in Bruges, Belgium, so accents are present. This movie has a good storyline with nice twists and all that good stuff, as well as having a somewhat dark humor floating in the background. Harry Potter fans should take note that Harry (ha) played by Ralph Fiennes plays Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter films. In the longrun, I recommend
this movie to fans of such movies as The Minority Report and RocknRolla, although keep in mind, I mentioned humor, but I would not consider this movie an outright comedy.

Nim's Island-0.6/10
PG- stands for 'Please Get this movie out of your hands'
I honestly hope I never see a movie as bad as this one. I can't even begin to imagine how you can get much worse then this. This movie is about this girl and her dad that live paradise like on this island. Something happens to her dad so the girl must call upon her favorite author to help. Here's a brief list of why this movie sucks. a)the acting of the little girl was horrid b)Jodie Foster dances in this movie c)the storyline was very predictable. That's very brief. And here's a real knee slapper, the girl tells the father at one point "I'm not a little girl anymore, I can take care of myself" she is eleven. I think I'm actually being too nice with my rating. It has Gerard Butler in it, and he's usually good. I hope he regrets this movie. I recommend this movie to absolutely no one.
