Little White Lie (2009)
Awesome!
Starkid is at it again. Their awesome originality, awesome songs, acting and plot makes this show a really good series to watch. It keeps you interested until the very end. It's a shame they didn't continue the show.
While in many places, it's really cheesy-- But in a good way. It's one of the charming things about this show. All the actors does a great job - the music is well written and the plot is something original. I stayed up all night (instead of making my homework) just to watch all episodes of this series. It's such a shame they didn't finish it though, I would have wanted to watch the rest and the final of the show, I'm so curious how this story would of ended.
Little White Lie is a show that you won't regret you watched. It's a heartwarming, funny, dramatic and just a wonderful webseries, even though it's amateur camera skills and sound mixing. You should watch it. I enjoyed it. As always, I'm a starkidfan and i've watched every project they've made because well... They're totally awesome!
(And oh, you may notice one of the characters in this series is now acting in Glee, yes I'm talking about Darren Criss!)
The Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Time (2009)
Well, at least they tried.
So, yeah, there is a movie about The legend of Zelda. Yep, that's right. It's a fan film created with almost no budget, so you gotta lower your expectations. I watched the whole movie, and i guess it was OK, but nothing more. The important thing is that they tried. The thing is - they struggle so hard just to follow the games storyline instead of taking the liberties to create their own story, which makes it boring and sometimes really annoying because the only thing Link seems to do is running around and doing what people tell him to do, like in the games. This is a sad fact, It could have been so much more. But it failed at the story, just because they tried so hard to stay true to the original game that the story just becomes lame and boring. And this is spoken by a true Zelda-fan, I know that it's hard to interpret the video game characters personalities (especially Link), the storyline etc but they could of at least twisted the story a little bit or make up their own story with elements from the game, like Sage of Darkness did. While it's not awful - it's not so good either. Awful camera angles (and the camera isn't of top notch quality either) that really annoyed me, average acting, they use way too much greenscreen and CGI effects which make the movie look fake and cheap, but the CGI is okay, since this is a budget fan film. I understand that Nintendo don't want to make a movie for a while, since so many awful Hollywood movies based on games are released more and more often. But god damnit, they did an average job. At least they tried, and i have full respect for that. So, is it worth watching? Well, if you got the time over and is a huge Zelda-fan, then it might be worth a watch. But if you're not really a hardcore zelda-fan i think you might want to skip this one, but hey, give it a try anyway. I would like to thank them for trying and for actually doing something instead of waiting on Nintendo releasing an actual movie. Do you remember last time Link spoke, in that god awful TV-series cartoon? You don't want anything like that to happen again, which i think is one of the main reasons Nintendo doesn't want to make a movie for now at least.
Final vote: 5/10.
Grown Ups 2 (2013)
Turn off your brain for 90 minutes, It'll be a blast!
So, since Adam Sandler has been releasing some bad flicks last year, people have been hating on him. Even old fans hated on his newer movies. But this is a good movie, IF you want to watch a movie with no plot and just slapstick, crude and sexual humor. You have to turn off your brain for 1 and a half hour. If you do, watch this with your friends and you'll have a blast. This movie doesn't take itself too seriously. And you shouldn't neither. Is it good? No. Is it bad? Not at all. It's an average comedy, meant to not make any sense and just make you and a couple buddies have a great time. This is in NO way a family safe movie, in fact, there's a lot of rude humor and sexual jokes meant for teenagers the age 12+ and grown ups. I liked the first one better though, the first one had more of a plot. This is just a pile of random happenings for 1 and a half hour. It's not a sh**y movie, but it's not perfect neither. And this is really not an Oscar-movie or even standing a chance to win any type of award, but it will leave you with a good time. If you want a movie that makes sense, has a good plot and a complex story, then this is NOT the movie for you. If you like senseless slapstick humor, i'm sure you'll like this. Even more if you're a fan of Sandlers latest movies as well as the good oldies. This is not meant to be a totally serious movie, it's what it is. So take it for what it is, if you don't like these kind of movies, you should skip this one. Sandler does a great job exaggerating things as usual, i love all the actors, they did a great job. Some of the children in this movie did an OKAY job, but nothing more. I guarantee that you and your buddies will have a great time watching this, and a lot of one-liners will be remembered. 5/10, expected more out of Sandler, but the movie is what it is.
Super Size Me (2004)
Amazing, funny documentary. Makes you think twice.
This documentary blew my mind. It was so funny, and still interesting to watch. I loved it. The director of this movie takes 30 days to only eat McDonalds food and nothing else. It's surely amazing to watch this guy eat and how he feels after (though i can say, this makes you feel sick many times and you might want to close your eyes at some scenes if you easily get sick, like me. I throw up pretty easily.) The editing was great and when you watch it you can see the serious damage and the side effects of eating unhealthy fast food. I actually never felt hungry for fast food after this documentary, and i'm glad i watched this. I think this should be showed in every school, hospitals, yeah everywhere. Cause this documentary makes you not want to eat fast food anymore, or at least think twice about what you eat. I surely learned something and my health has improved drastically as i only eat fast food twice a year. It's really an amazing movie, and the ending credits cracked me up. This was such a great experience and really a good watch, it's worth the 1h 40 minutes. It was funny, interesting and you learn something really good. I recommend this movie to everyone. That's right, everyone. Might of been one of the best movies i've ever watched in a while.
Tomb Raider: No Angel (2013)
One of the best fan films
While not perfect, it's still one of the best fan films i've seen and, i've seen a lot of them. This, and Tomb Raider Ascension (which is a FULL LENGHT production) are my favorites. But even this beats Ascension. I loved the story, loved the camera operating, and i loved the music. Only thing is that it's very hard to hear what the persons are saying, you have to pay close attention. And the running scenes and choreography scenes seems a little bit slow, but it's OK. Overall, it was an enjoyable fan film and i wish it was longer than the short 11 minutes. But i liked it. And it's definitely one of the best Tomb Raider fan films out there. You should check it out. Just remember that this was made on a budget and that it's a fan film. A great fan film. Also, the sound effects are very cheap, which is kind of annoying but it's OK.
That's My Boy (2012)
Much better than Jack and Jill
This movie is so much better than Jack and Jill. I can't understand the people giving it a bad review and saying that it's worse than Jack and Jill when it actually is much much better. I say well done to the makers of this movie and to Sandler. The movie is about a boy, Donny, who falls in love with his teacher and they have sex, resulting in them getting caught. This also results in a pregnancy and Donny becomes a teenage dad. The mother of his child gets prison for 30 years, charged for child molestation. Sure, it is a really serious case. But it's a comedy! It's a really funny movie. Anyway, many years later Donny needs to pay 45000 dollars, because he hasn't payed taxes since '94. He then finds his son, originally named Han Solo Burger, and find out he is a really successful guy in the financial business, but he has changed his name to Tom Peterson. He figure he might get help from him. So he visits his son, played by Andy Samberg. However, nobody knows that Donny is the father of Tom and that his real name is Han Solo. He doesn't want anyone to know about him being a result of a teenage-teacher bang. This eventually comes with a lot of problems and idiotic moves. I won't tell you too much about this movie though, as you might want to watch it yourself. Later on Donny discovers that his son's girlfriend is cheating on Tom, with her brother. Since she knew Donny needed money, she paid him 50 grand to be silent about that. Later on, Donny knew it wasn't right to do, so he and Vanilla Ice go on a journey to stop the wedding and tell them the truth. Everyone is shocked when hearing the truth,and the wedding is off. Tom then changes his name back to Han Solo Burger and turns into a real d i c k just like his father Donny. I can't believe the people who take this too serious. I mean, it's meant to be stupid, it's meant to be vulgar and idiotic. I like that kind of humor. I hated Jack and Jill. But this is a big improvement. Though, there is a couple of unnecessary scenes in this movie, it still is funny. I say, well done! But one thing i hate about Sandler though, is his accent. I mean, it's freaking stupid! I know he is used to acting stupid like in Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore etc but i think this character didn't need to have that type of voice, and that was one of the things that annoyed me because it reminded me a lot about his acting in Jack and Jill. Overall, it is a really funny movie. If you don't like pointless, stupid/silly, and vulgar movies, don't bother watching this one cause it will end up disappointing you. Overall 8/10.
Jack and Jill (2011)
Awful movie. Probably only enjoyable when high.
I used to be a big fan of Sandlers work and i have always liked the way he acts and makes his movies - but the problem is that he makes too many movies - and runs out of ideas. This is one of the WORST MOVIES i've ever watched, and i hate that i payed for this bad movie! The jokes aren't even funny, i mean, how can people actually like this? The only people who would appreciate this would probably be people on drugs.. Anyway, don't bother seeing this one. Complete waste of time. I'm in deep chock that Sandler even bothered making this one. It's crap. Just plain c r a p. Seriously, Sandler, What were you thinking, what was the director and script writers thinking? I hope they will improve...
Puss in Boots (2011)
Great family movie!
Let me be honest. Im a really big fan of the Shrek movies and i loved them all. Then i heard about this "spinoff" movie about Puss in Boots. At first i thought it would be a bad idea, but later changed my mind when the new trailers came out. I went out to watch the movie, the ticket was 10 bucks, and it was well worth the little money. Antonio Banderas acts great as Puss in Boots and Selma too. I loved the animation, the plot, and you can take the whole family to watch this movie. Everyone will enjoy this, from small kids to the older generation. The movie had a lot of funny scenes, and a lot of action scenes, i liked it very much. One of the greatest animations that year. The animation was so beautiful and the script was well written, it's worth a watch if you want a fun time. Good job, Dreamworks!
Ted (2012)
A really fun and good movie!
This is Seth McFarlane, the creator of Family Guy and American Dad's first full lenght movie. After years of watching Family Guy and American Dad i couldn't help but check out the trailer for this movie. And what i saw was really satisfying! I bought my cinema ticket and went straight to the cinema to watch this thing. And it turned out great! It is one of the funniest movies i've seen this year, and for Seth's first full lenght film, it was really great and the jokes were not forced at all! I simply loved it and didn't regret the money spent on this. In fact, i think i might even go see it again. While this movie has a great plot, it is also a good dramatic film too. BUT, the humor used in this movie will often only apply to those who like the satiric Family Guy TV-show, and those who does not like vulgar and satiric humor should stay away from this one. As i am a big fan of Seth McFarlanes work i loved this movie! I give it a 8 out of a 10.
