I love Statham action flicks he really knows how to play the badass, and in this remake of the 1972 movie “The Mechanic” he pulls all the stops for it. The cast combination is pretty good Jason Statham is the main hitman taking care of different people based on the “jobs”, and Steve McKenna (Ben Foster) as his apprentice to become a hitman. Ben Foster knows how to play those mean and crazy looking guy perfectly with just a touch of insanity, he pulls of the character who becomes evil perfectly. With Donald Sutherland thrown into the mix, it looks like its going to be an perfect action-thriller movie.

Recently I have been downloading everything and anyting that I can watch, some good movies and some bad. For some reason I enjoy watching horror movies even crappy ones, they make me laugh but other people have to be around just so I won’t be the only freaked out. Animated movies I have to watch it on my own or with the right crowd, I hate if anyone ruins a good animated movie. The Blind Side, The Bad Lieutenant Port Of Call New Orleans, Astro Boy, The Cove, and The Rebound are one of the main ones I want to watch. Some of them I have already seen which pretty good like Sherlock Holmes, Armored, and The Men Who Stare At Goats. I always like having a choice of movies to choose from, depending on what I am feeling like.

At 9 inches tall this is a very cool Iron Man 2 bust from Hot Toys. They have released other models such a full figure Iron Man 2 and War Machine but I prefer the ones from Kotobukiya Iron Man 2 but this bust is really cool. Especially since Hot Toys are known for their attention to detail, the Arc Reactor and eyes are light up. A perfect bust to sit on a desk looking as a good as this Iron Man model.

I think this is a classic story that a lot of us are familiar with and I was happy that Tim Burton took the project and turned it into a film. From all the previews and Johnny Depps presence I knew that I wanted to see this movie. The funny part is we all know the story from our childhood and what is the story with the caterpillar with so many hookahs, they said the director was on LSDs at the time. Then there are all these kids in the theater see it for the first time, it was a mix of a crowd. The story is in bland England with a odd Alice seeing things when others dont, then she falls into the hole and it takes a different twist. The whole adventure is a lot of fun, so many funny characters, the Red Queen was hilarious, and I loved Chester the cat, always smiling and disappearing and reappearing when needed. The story line is fantastic, just to be expected from Tim Burton, but I wanted more of Johnny Depp, and Alice fit the bill perfectly. The fun never stops, there is always something going on and you know what is supposed to happen at the end but not how its supposed to happen and things just keep popping up, it was a really fun movie and I loved the Mad Hatter, he was really mad.

It’s the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson’s Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they’re not happy: Zeus’ lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy’s mother. As Percy finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, he and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy’s mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.

A new twist on Greek Mythology, Percy Jackson is thrown into a world of monsters and Gods, and he is tasked with a mission which he must accomplish or earth will be a casualty of war between Gods. Percy Jackson is a normal highschool kid with a few problems here and there, the last thing he expected to be was the son of Poseidon. The story has a creative style to it with a thin line between reality and the realm of the gods which exists around us. It was an adventure to see all these Greek characters come to life and who they would be embodied by as actors and their nature. Lots of fun as the movie progresses and he develops his powers trying to accomplish the mission while trying to protect his family and fight off other creatures and demons. A lot of fun for any fantasy movie fan, not the Harry Potter they were expecting at the Box Office but worth watching.

I think that Russel Crowe is a jerk, but he is also a phenomenal actor, probably one of the best at portraying whatever character he chooses. Now he has taken the role of Robin Hood, the last Robin Hood I remember was with Kevin Costner back in the 90s, and then there were Men in Tights, but that was just funny. Aside from those movies, this is taking Robin Hood into an Epic film, as some critics are already saying it, its going to be another Gladiator. I still watch Gladiator every once in a while and I still get moved by that movie, something about it just hits your core, the injustice and more. Now the trailer for Robin Hood seems to be fantastic and you don’t feel that it is doing it justice, your just taking a small bite of a juicy story. Ridley Scott is the director of many of my favorite movies, here are a few he has directed Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven, and American Gangster, so hopefully he will take this story to the next level.

Two movies that I am really looking forward to and have been waiting for them for a while now. Prince of Persia has been quite for some time now and its coming up at the end of May. Iron Man 2 just released the second trailer which was fantastic, leaves me wanting a hell of a lot more. When ever there are movies that I have high expectations for I try not to watch the trailer for them so I won’t know anything when I walk in, but I couldn’t help seeing the Iron Man 2 trailer. I know the basic story of Prince of Persia but I have managed to avoid seeing any trailer other then the first one and I don’t remember much. Iron Man 2 is coming on May 8 while Prince of Persia is coming out in May 28, just can’t wait.

Iraq. Forced to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in the chaos of war, an elite Army bomb squad unit must come together in a city where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb.

Its one of those movies which you really feel it, its a very raw movie, you get to feel what these guys are going through. It isn’t as smooth or nice as some movies make it, you get to feel the rough life and what some of these guys suffer mentally. It isn’t a movie meant to glorify American soldiers but meant to show what these soldiers face, having a job which calls on you to risk your life on a day to day basis takes a toll on any man. You have a team who want to be systematic to disarm these bombs with one guy who is a cowboy out for the adrenaline since he can’t feel life, and might not survive the next encounter. Surprisingly there are a lot of famous people in this movie playing side roles, I knew about this movie since 2008 so I’m surprised it got all this build up for 2009 and the 2010 Oscars, but it is well deserved.

Heaven has come down to destroy earth so that it may be reborn, God is not happy with how man has turned out. Only one Angel stands against God’s orders and Battles the Angels with the human beings who might have a fighting chance to change the end. With the case of Dennis Quaid and a few others, I had high expectations for the movie. Heaven isn’t all its cracked up to be and Angels are warriors of God rather then those who are kind to humans, and its the end of the world. The storyline just had too many side stories and the build up just wasn’t believable. I feel that the show Supernatural has done a better job of dealing with these different creatures then this movie. Overall it was somewhat enjoyable but still disappointing as there was so much potential.

Halo Legends is a collection of 8 stories from the most creative minds of Japan, taking the story of Halo and turning into an animated feature. 8 Separate episodes with different animation, story lines and ideas each, but there is a subtle connection and flow between them. They have taken this to another level, the different types of animation are amazing, and some better then the others. Master Chief and Spartans are on another level, showing that there are different types of Spartans, they are different then the ODSTs, they are bred to fight armies and destroy the Convenant. Each one of these episodes depicts a different angle of the Halo story, and each time you are amazed. The only reason I didn’t give it a full 5 is because it leaves you wanting more, I wish they made a whole series for Halo with at least a full storyline and arch, there is so much depth available in the story that they could use. If you are even a remote fan of Halo then you should watch this and you will love it.
