“Dragonball Evolution” Movie Review

“D.B.E.” Plot Summary

The young warrior Son Goku sets out on a quest, racing against time and the vengeful King Piccolo, to collect a set of seven magical orbs that will grant their wielder unlimited power.

This is cinematic filth of the highest degree.

My childhood is ruined. I have witnessed the death of a beloved franchise millions have come to adore and respect. This movie is not an adaptation, nor is it an homage of any sort. It is a mockery. A sheer insult to all those whom cherish Dragonball deep within their hearts and souls

Why does this video-tape recording (I absolutely refuse to deem it ‘film’ status) fail to such a devastating degree? It does not capture any of the charm, wit, excitement, humor, or bad-assery to be found in its source material. James Wong has simply taken the title, characters, and… errm, hairstyles, and has furtively stapled them to the bloody forehead of a poorly scripted, heavily underdeveloped movie about collecting seven golden balls that when gathered, will summon a flying dragon who will grant you one magical wish! How fantastically whimsical!Who cares

There is nothing compelling about this film. It’s painstakingly difficult to care about any character in this film, and that goes for Goku as well. Right from the get-go, you bare witness to a horribly underwhelming fight session between Goku and his Asian(?) grandfather Gohan, who carries a bizarrely flawless American accent.. go figure. The reason I imply confusion behind Gohan’s Asian ethnicity is that his grandson Goku is, well… nevermind. It isn’t even worth getting into; the casting for this movie made no sense. No consistency whatsoever. Disgusting

The dialogue is cheesy and executed improperly in every way conceivable. You want cheesy dialogue done right? Go watch the Wachowski brothers’ Speed Racer released last year, truly a masterpiece as far as anime adaptations are concerned. What is improper about it, you inquire? It causes you to cringe without the ability to hold back. Every single word muttered is a bleak reflection on each actor’s terrific inability to act in any way, shape or form

Speaking of form.. Don’t even expect half a thrill from this movie’s excuse for action sequences. These actors cannot fight under any set of circumstances. The wirework is so blatant and poorly imposed that I swear to have caught eye of a couple unedited out wires left in some of the more acrobatic scenes

Really? Come on, Hollywood. Come on, Fox

These sort of mistakes became a thing of the past DECADES prior. If a movie based on the almighty Dragonball franchise is going to suck this severely OUTSIDE of the fight sequences, at LEAST refine those few scenes (Dragonball’s saving graces, so to speak) into something worthy of admission price. Get a couple professional choreographers on the set to help out, if you don’t mind. (what a strange and unusual concept, huh!?) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; if this entire project had been up to the legendary Stephen Chow, we could have had a sheer masterpiece on our hands. (refer to Kung Fu Hustle, what I believe to be the most faithfully Dragonballesque live action movie ever made) I shall continue no further. This movie does not deserve any longer of a review. In fact, slice this eloquently written verdict in half and it would still be far too flattering in length

I feel that if FOX wishes to maintain any credibility they have left with their audiences, they will hold back on dumping this atrocious landfill upon the United States’ precious array of cinemas. Of course, we know this is not realistic

It’s nice to dream.

“Coach Carter” Movie Review

“Coach Carter” Plot Summary

Controversy surrounds high school basketball coach Ken Carter after he benches his entire team for their breaking their academic contract with him.

One of the best movies around

This movie isn’t just about sport but has an underlying moral message which is been shown throughout the film. Sport won’t get you far unless your a great but study and hard work in school will get you everywhere. Enter, a town that is quite poor and a basketball team who just want to win. Once Ken Carter accepts the job, the whole team changes and it is for the better. Another message this film teaches is respect, at the beginning just after meeting the boys, Ken expresses a need for the boys to show respect not only for themselves but for their friends and elders. He does this by explaining how the word ‘nigger’ can be used as a degrading term and how by dressing themselves with respect, behaving respectfully isn’t bad at all

As soon as I saw this film, I knew that I wanted to see it. It has everything that makes a great movie, action, great dialog and most importantly, a good moral message and in a time where morally corrupt movies are on the rise, a great movie like this is a rare find

Intiallly, my friends didn’t want to see this movie with me as they thought it was boring, and too intense but after months and months of waiting, I finally hired it out on DVD and watched it

You can actually take things away from this movie and it has a very good morals which can be applicable to everyone.

    “Scary Movie 3″ Plot Summary

    In the third installment of the Scary Movie franchise, Cindy has to investigate mysterious crop circles and video tapes, and help the President in preventing an alien invasion. add synopsis

    One of the funniest movies ever created!

    Spoilers herein

    In this hilarious third installment of the ’scary movie’ series, Anna Faris is back as Cindy Campbell, who has now graduated from college and is a reporter. Along with her friend Brenda Meeks (regina hall) Cindy finds out about a mysterious video tape that kills whoever watches it 7 days later (spoofing ‘The Ring’) while doing a story about a mysterious crop circle that has appeared in Tom Logan’s (Charlie Sheen) yard. Then, with the help of George (Simon Rex) Cindy has to stop an alien invasion

    I thought this movie was absolutely hilarious. I’ve heard a lot of people say negative things about the plot, jokes, etc. why? because those people think too much! This movie is supposed to be totally mindless – and it is, and that’s what makes it funny! I mean, why complain about ‘Scary Movie 3′ when there’s crap out there like ‘Scary Movie 2′???Top 10 funniest Quotes/scenes10) BRENDA: Cindy…the TV’s leaking!9) PRESIDENT HARRIS: These men and woman have died fighting for their country. Send flowers to their bitches and ho’s.8) Cody is drawing Tabitha (aka Samara) and he made a flipbook of her doing a little dance. it’s hilarious (you have to see it to get it)7) GEORGE: (in the rap battle) I’m a white boy but my neck is red I put miracle whip on my wonder bread6) SHERIFF: Watch…what happens…to the taco!5) George is at a rap battle full of African Americans and he puts his hood on…and over his hat, it looks like a cone, like a KKK personBLACK GUY: Au $hit!4) CINDY: Oh, cody! Are you having one of your visions?CODY: I see a little girl. With black hair. She wants to kill you. Your period starts in three…two…one…CINDY: Oww…Cody, what else can you see?CODY: I see a little boy and a grown woman, but no father…CINDY: Oh, Cody…CODY: I see you kneeling in dog $hit…3) Tabitha is leaking water from the well all over Brenda’s floor

    BRENDA: Cindy, this b*tch is messin’ up my floor!!!2) CINDY: I just feel like I want something more than just good sex…BRENDA: Yeah, I know. you want commitment

    CINDY: No, I want GREAT sex!BRENDA: Girl, I know what you talking’ about! You want a guy that goes wham wham wham!(a little preschooler stares at Brenda)BRENDA: DID I SAY STOP DRAWING???1) GEORGE: Okay, then. Fresh. I’ll see you guys uh, tomorrow night!(he turns around and takes his niece out the door)(someone throws a huge container of crayons at the door)BRENDA: Now who the f*ck did that???!!!Also, I’ve heard a number of complaints about how Cody keeps getting hit by cars, basketballs, and thrown out of windows, etc. I mean, it’s not like he got hurt while filming it!!The only reason this movie didn’t get a ten was the michael jackson scene. I thought that was totally disgusting/gross

    The opening scene with pamela anderson was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen….(i.e. ‘Are you okay…?’ ‘I’m coming for you, precious…’) I totally recommend it!

    “Final Destination 3″ Movie Review

    “Final Destination 3″ Plot Summary

    In this third installment of the Final Destination series, a student’s premonition of a deadly rollercoaster ride saves her life and a lucky few, but not from death itself which seeks out those who escaped their fate.

    Best of the three

    This film is definitely the best of the three, hands down!! The ending is excellent. It proves that death is inevitable, no matter what! The other two did that, but in the sequel. This film did it at the end, with everyone dying! This one can’t be outdone, so no more final destination’s are necessary! And the pictures, with the predicting death thing, was awesome!! I think that was a good addition! And it was gory, not that the other two weren’t; but this one, you could feel it! It was like you were right there watching it all happen! And just when you think you have it figured out, like with the weight bench or the horse, something happens that surprises you! The other two were extremely predictable and hard to sit through. This one, you were on the edge of your seat the whole time; waiting for something unexpected to happen!!
