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!

Movie review "You're Next"

Last week I went to see....


I did not know if I was going to watch this movie, it was more of a rock, paper, scissors type of decision; but I'm glad I watched it!

The movie is about a family reunion at a house in which a home invasion occurs. A lot of people seem to be comparing it to 'The Strangers' (2008).
I can see why people compare it so much, the two obvious reasons are
a) horror movie about a home invasion
b) those creepy ass masks they seem to be wearing.
Despite their similarities 'The Strangers' has a bit more horror to it compared to 'You're Next'


'You're Next' was more suspense/thriller of a movie. It was thrilling, and had a lot of black humor throughout. The acting was sketchy and the camera was way too zoomed in at some points, but the movie overall was better than 'The Strangers'. It is actually a very good movie and I enjoyed watching it.
It isn't the best horror movie out there 'The Conjuring' seems to take that spot, but this movie is one of top three movies out.



Erin, was the main lead in this film played by Sharni Vinson who was the woman that swept me off of my feet. She was a total bad-ass motherfucker! She was the one that stayed calm and decided to fight back because she knew a bit of survival tips from her father. She was funny, quirky, smart and fast and captivated the audience throughout the film. 


The end of the movie is a plot twist, I don't want to ruin it for anyone that decides to watch. Overall the movie is a success in my book and hopefully more people watch it because it is worth it. 

One more thing, this ad is very cool too.....



Let me know what you think of the movie if you saw it.
Also let me know your expectations of the movie if you didn't see it!
Thanks guys!
