Sabotage!

So yesterday I went to the movies and saw...



Now for those of you who haven't heard of this movie..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HDArXZgrsE  You're welcome.


Okay, I know what you're thinking..
1. Arnold is in the movie so of course it's an action movie
2. You might be thinking it's a generic over-the-top action movie, BUT I can assure you it's not.

Reasons you should watch this movie and reasons why I think it's an awesome movie. 

1) Even though it's an action movie it has a story line. Now I don't know about you guys, but most action movies I watch have no story line, plot or structure.
It's usually just a bunch of over-the-top effects, and silliness.
Ever watched a movie, and there was so much going on and you don't know what the fuck is happening? Yep. I've been there too friend, but this movie changed the game.
The story line is very complex, but I will give you a plain simple one : its about a DEA team and how cartel is hunting them down.
It's more than it seems though, in which you would have to watch the movie to find out.
I'm the type of person that usually watches something and isn't surprised at anything due to the fact that "I saw it coming" but this movie surprised me. That's a lot coming from me.

2) The action movie is Rated R. Lately, I've been noticing a lot of action movies have been PG-13 and I really hate it. It's not as raw visually and descriptive as a Rated R action film. What to expect out of Sabotage: blood, cussin' and naked people.

3) Cinematography wasn't bad at all. Believe it or not, there are some parts of the movie where I sat back and thought "Wow, the way they filmed this, and made the camera do this"
It made me appreciate it more due to the fact that they had awesome tricks to play around with.

4) The actors were bad-ass. They weren't mono-tone and annoying. They were actually great actors considering what type of film this is. And Arnold, was just being Arnold.

Of course every movie has it's flaws. The movie of course is an action movie so expect over-the-top fighting, shooting, and "How did he do that without hurting himself?"
Other than that watch it. 
No, seriously, go buy your ticket. Very entertaining and will have you leaving with a bang for your buck.


For those who have seen it leave a comment, let me know what you think.
For those who haven't.... go watch it and come back, the comments are dark and full of spoilers.

Until next time folks,

HOLY CRAP HAS TIME FLEW

Holy smokes! It has been a while. Well, I'm back! Hopefully I'll be writing more. School and work has been crazy! Right now it's 12 in the morning and I'm writing this because why the fuck not?

Wellll, lots has happened in the past few months!
The new job is going alright. School is cool. Annndd I have an internship!!! At the school newspaper. Pretty rad if I do say so myself.

So yes, I know, "are you trying to kill yourself?" no. I can assure you I am not trying to kill myself and I'll be perfectly fine. SO far it's been good!!


Okay REVIEWS. I can't really do any. Well, I can, but maybe the most recent movies I've watched. Stay tuned.
Movies I've seen since the last time I wrote were.....
Don John, Carrie, Metallica: Through the Never, Bad Grandpa, Thor 2, Grudge Match, Saving Mr. Banks, Captain Phillips, Her, American Hustle, Frozen, Wolf of Wall Street, Gravity.

It's not in any particular order and I think I got MOST if not ALL of them.
Like I said I might do reviews on a couple. Probably the most recent ones...
I'm thinking, Her, Frozen, American Hustle and Wolf of Wall Street. We'll see ;)


I'll probably talk about the upcoming Oscars once I see most movies nominated for awards and we can get down to the nitty gritty.
Reviews that WILL be wrote about are, 12 Years a Slave and Dallas Buyers Club.
We also have to review some movies on The Sundance Film Festival. But don't worry guys, I wont overload you!

So that's that! Let me know what movies you've recently watched and what you thought was pretty awesome so far for 2014!
