Oh Hai… i’m back ^_^

When I saw this request almost a year ago I thought this was the Japanese version of the Godfather. Oh boy was I wrong! Then I read the plot of the movie… 

Christmas in Tokyo, Japan. Three homeless friends: a young girl, a transvestite, and a middle-aged bum. 

That was all I needed to say “This is THE movie”. To elaborate, is about 3 bums, Miyuki- a runaway girl, Gin- a middle aged alcoholic man and Hana- a transvestite who wants to be a mom. They found a baby in the trash and decided to look for the baby’s mom. By doing so, they get into all kinds of situations, from going to a wedding were the groom gets shot by a immigrant that kidnaps Miyuki, to Gin getting badly beaten by a gang. Did I mentioned this is a comedy too?  In the end, something really unexpected happened but I won’t say because this is spoiler free :P Oh yeah, did I mention this is a Satoshi Kon movie? If you don’t know who he is then you need to start googling him because he was a genius.

Thoughts of the movie: This movie has the heart of a million or more bums worldwide. Is a very unusual Christmas story because there’s not too many movies (that I know of) were the main characters are homeless people. The background stories of the main characters are sad and heartwarming so this is not just another christmas comedy, in fact there’s more drama than comedy here. The twist ending caught me off guard and it showed you how great the main characters were. If you haven’t guessed it yet, what hold this movie and makes you wanna keep watching are the main characters, they’re so interesting. My favorite was Hana just because of her dream of becoming a mother when she really didn’t have any idea how to be one, but still, her passion to try to help the baby in any way she could makes her one amazing character. There was something about this film that even if it was fun to watch, it didn’t capture my attention that much. Maybe because it was a little slow sometimes or because in my mind I thought this was a laugh out loud comedy (I found it more sadder than funny) In the end it was good, great story with awesome characters that will really grab your attention and a really awesome ending.

Will I recommend this movie?: Oh yes. If you’re an Satoshi Kon and/or anime fan you gotta see it.

Thumbs up or Down?: thumbs up! *gives change to Chester*

This is a really different movie from what I always do so this one is going to be kinda short. There’s not much to talk about the plot, it’s a french documentary about Earth’s 5 oceans and the need to show respect to all marine creatures showing how they defend, interact with other species and fight for survival. It took 4 years in the making, filming in over 50 places. 

Thoughts on the movie: It was beautiful. You can say that there’s a bunch of documentaries about oceans, but this one is like a beautiful piece of art and Pierce Brosnan is the narrator. (he’s no Morgan Freeman, but he was awesome) It makes you see everything in a new perspective and it even shows you what some humans can do to destroy it (which is the sad part of the story) Don’t know about you but I felt the urge to do something as soon as I go out of the movie, still thinking but I know i’ll find something to help take care of the environment. This is an awesome movie to relax and see all the beauty that you might thought never existed. Also, I know this movie came out on Earth Day, but it premiered last week here *wah wah* 

Will I recommend this movie?: Definitely, also I don’t know if you can still catch it, but if you can get the opportunity to watch it on Imax, i’m pretty sure it’s amazing! 

Thumbs up or down?: Thumbs Up with dolphins jumping epic-y! :D

i’m ready, let’s do this! The movie is about Dale Benton (played by Seth Rogen), a process server who loves to get high (a lot!). One day, he goes to visit his drug dealer Saul (Played by James Franco) and he sells him a rare strain marijuana called the pineapple express. That night Dale goes to serve a Drug lord Called Ted Jones (played by Gary Cole) and witnessed a murder by Jones and a police woman. He flies the scene but leaves a roach with pineapple express which Saul is the only one in the city who sells it. So now Jones and the police woman are after Dale and Saul to kill them, thinking they’re working for a rival Asian drug gang. So 2 completely high guys are trying to escape a gang of drug dealers… awesome isn’t it?

Thought on the movie: It felt like a mix of Cheech and Chong meets the Blues Brothers. I LOLed not so much at the stunts, but at them (Dale and Saul) which make a great comedy duo and they really looked high. For a movie that I thought was going to be bad, it turn out to be really entertaining and well done. Also the music is good, nothing special but it gives a cool touch to the music. I guess if you were high the movie have to be 10 times funnier but I don’t wanna find out. In the end the message of this flick is if you are high don’t go running around witnessing murders, ok? :P 

Will i recommend this movie?: Yep, it’s a good movie to watch with your friends and have fun

Thumbs up or down?: I say a fair thumbs up, now brb, gonna eat some brownies… noo it’s not what you think it is, just plain old Brownies

You know what to do, so, just do it, movie suggestions nao! :P

Later! 

Suggested by:  BFF told me I have 2 options, this one or Sex and the City 2. 

Heard of this movie but until now I didn’t know what it was about, so let’s get started. Jen (Played by Katherine Heigl) travel with her parents to Nice, France after she broke up with her boyfriend. On her way to her room, she meets Spencer (Played by Ashton Kutcher) and fell in love and what it looks like a really short time, they get married. What she doesn’t know is that Spencer was a “Bla Bla Agent” ( So secret that they never say) who kill “bad people”  for living. Now after 3 years of being married and quitting being a killer, his ex boss come looking for him to give him a mission which Spencer refused and thus becoming the target for a bunch of killers (who can be anyone). Now he have to not only try to survive but also protect his wife from everyone, and when I say everyone I mean EVERYONE!

Thoughts on the movie: The concept was kinda cool, never thought I was going to see Ashton as a hero/killer (which surprisingly he did a good job), Heigl was ok I guess, but what impressed me the most was Tom Selleck and his Epic mustache (ok i’m exaggerating a little bit, but it’s really a cool tache) But there’s something in the movie that it just didn’t made it for me. After hours of thinking what it was I came to the conclusion that it was just bad writing. The ending of the movie didn’t made sense, it was as if they didn’t knew what else to do or how to end it so they throw the stupidest ending they could find. I’ve never seen a movie that made me think if in at some moment I fell asleep and woke up at the credits, but no it just bad scripting. The movie was really fun and entertaining but a little predictable and really weak ending. 

Will I recommend this movie?: hmm… maybe but wait until it’s on dvd and rent it.

Thumbs up or down?:   1 thumb up, but 1 thumb and a pinky up for Ashton’s abs and 100 thumbs up for Tom Selleck’s Mustache and a sandwich as a bonus!

Suggested by: My childhood

This is one of my most anticipated movies this year, in fact, i’ve been waiting for it for a looong time. First let’s talk about the plot (which it’s going to be short and spoiler free) It’s set a few years after the second movie, Andy is now 17 and getting ready to go to college. While labeling his stuff, his mom mistakenly took the toys and throw them away, making some funny scenes that i’m not explaining for the sake of not spoiling. The thing is that all the toys ended up in a child day care were they meet other toys like Ken, a baby doll and a Lots-o-hugging bear who is the boss. After Woody escapes to go with Andy, the other toys experience and awful treatment from the little kids and the other toys. So now they have to get out of the daycare before they ended up in a trash bin and find a way back to Andy’s home.

Thoughts on the movie: This was an awesome way to end up a great series! It was funny, dark, emotional as heck and so entertaining at the same time. There’s no way not to laugh and being nostalgic, especially with old toys. For instance there’s a fisher price telephone toy that I still remember as one of my favorite toys when I was a kid (I feel old) Also, the short film at the beginning (Day and Night) was just pure win, so beautiful and creative as always. Toy Story is now one of my favorite trilogies of all time, it can make you feel like a kid all over again and how much you loved and care for your toys. Just thinking about it makes me teary (oh yes, there’s a really high probability that you will cry or at least make you all teary) Overall, you will enjoy it no matter your age and i’m pretty sure it will become an ageless classic. 

Will I recommend this movie?: If you read my review, you know I would say yes! Go and watch it ( Didn’t watched it on 3D but they told me it was ok but nothing out of this world, but i’m pretty sure the beginning had to be super fun to watch on 3D)

Thumbs up or Down?: They’re up! Pixar has done it again!

Suggested by: @Obscurus_Lupa (“Why deed you do dis too meee!”)

I’m gonna start this fast since it took me so long to watch this, so here it goes. It’s all set 2 years after the first movie, Sandy’s cousin Michael is now attending Rydell High were the T birds and the Pink Ladies had new leaders Johnny (played by Adrian Zmed) and Stephanie (played by Michelle Pfeiffer). Michael has a crush on Stephanie but because he’s not a T Bird she ignores him. So he decides to chance his clean cut persona and get a motorcycle and see if he can get accepted. Now there’s a Mysterious biker (well it’s not a mystery to us the viewers, it’s none other than Michael and his british accent) running around and now Stephanie has a crush on him, just because he has a Bike (take note guys, if you have a bike you will definitely get the girls) You will get your wtf musical numbers as always, and I think that’s it. 

Thoughts on the Movie: I died a little inside watching this. The beginning it’s awful and long, and if you were waiting for a cool animation like in the first one then bad luck because you’ll get a stupid music number that last 7 minutes, at that point I was already cursing Lupa for suggesting this (Still I admire her, so no hate). And speaking of music numbers, they are horrendous with titles like “Score tonight” (not that kind of score, it’s about bowling) “Cool Rider” (were Stephanie wants to Ride with a guy with a cool bike), “Do it for your country” (were one of the T birds trick a Pink Lady by saying that the Germans are attacking so they need to have sex… for their country, and Disney. Not Kidding) and then we have this masterpiece call “Reproduction”:

Beautiful song, right? Not only are the song stupid, the story is just dull and boring. Also we have a couple of returning characters like the principal, Eugene (the Geek from the first one) and Frenchy, but they’re not even part of the plot they’re just there in some scenes and that’s it. This should have been more interesting and fun if the main character was Frenchy (which is one of my favorite characters from the first one) in this one she only appears to give advice to Michael. Right now i’m not even sure why she’s there, if it’s been 2 years after the first movie so she already graduated, she even say that Stephanie is her best friend but you never see them together! I can stay here for hours writing about the things that pissed me off about this movie, and Grease is not even my favorite musical. The first one was kinda stupid too but what made it so cool were the songs, here the songs are just as stupid as asking a girl to have sex in the name of the statue of Liberty. 

Will I recommend this movie?: Not even if you were the most annoying person in the World, I suffer this to save everyone’s soul.

Thumbs up or down?: Down until you get to the center of Earth

Suggested by: Pharmmayor 

Yeah another Comedy movie with someone dying in the title, and not only that, the title spoils the movie!  Heck let’s start this. Everything starts with Penn and Teller being interviewed on a late night show, after some magic tricks and jokes, Penn (the Tall one) states that his life would be more fun if someone was trying to kill him. After that we see both of them playing pranks to each other until things get kinda serious when Penn got shot in the arm, so Teller (the mute one, and btw that’s his real name! what a Madonna…) goes and tries to investigate. He finds that a guy is really obsessed with them to the point of killing Penn. Do Penn and Teller really died? Well it’s on the title so yeah, but how it’s the bizarre/WTF thing.

Thoughts on the Movie: Not a fan of Penn and Teller just because they’re not funny and their tricks are kinda dumb (there was a moment in my life were I just loved to watch magic shows but their tricks just bored me to death) But still I try to enjoy this flick, but the truth is that it was dull and kinda dumb too. All you see is Penn and Teller making pranks to each other, having someone trying to kill them to have a wtf just happened ending. So it all felt like a waste of time, it’s not the worst comedy ever but it’s not my taste. If your going to make a magic trick do it right and awesome, that’s my motto (invented 10 seconds ago xD) Now it’s time to enjoy Penn and Teller Bullshit! Now that’s entretainment. (wah wah!)

Will I Recommend this movie?: Not really, this is one forgettable  movie… waait, just forgot what it was about! (wah wah x2)

Thumbs up or down?: *Pull a thumbs down out of a hat… and a bunny* ta-da! Now gimme a Sandwich.

Suggested by: Da Pro

When I saw that Da Pro suggested me this movie, I thought he was kidding, the title is too random for a movie! Anyway, I know you must be anxious  to know what this movie’s about so here I go. We started by seeing someone watching TV really loudly with a felafel in his hand and if you guessed that he was dead, then you are right! [random moment on]  Here, have a cookie

*o noms* [random moment mode off/]

Anyway, the story is about Danny (played by EricPowerUp look alike Noah Taylor) who is a writer looking for love a good job and a house to stay. Everywhere he goes he meets some weird people with lots of issues (some of them whine too much) like a Star wars fan named Jabba the Hutt  that is always watching tv, a bank clerk who lives on a tent, a crazy goth/satanic/lesbian, a aspiring actress that is always bitching around, a junkie named Flip, a Japanese girl, etcetera. Now who the heck died in the beginning and what that has to do with the story is for you to find out *wink*

Thoughts on the Movie: This is a comedy that it’s has its moments but it’s not that funny, still is really enjoyable just for the way they use to tell the story. This is based on a 1994 book with the same name (which now I have to read) and what I found is that the novel is written in a similar pace as the movie. The characters are really fun but some of them are too annoying for my taste. My favorite character has to be Danny especially in one part were he loses it in a way that I didn’t expect and just made me laugh out loud (LOL) Overall, it’s a really good flick and what makes it so great are the crazy characters.

Will I recommend this movie?: Sure! if you like comedies with wtf titles then watch it!

Thumbs up or down?: Up with a Felafel in the other hand, but don’t worry I won’t die. Pinky swear :D

[freak out moment on] Suggest me a movie(s) for crying out loud! just comment on this stupid entry or tweet me! (@Punkyval) Don’t make me say it twice! [freak out moment off/]

I’m going reeeaaaally Old school now, but I needed to see this movie again, especially when I bought a special edition dvd a few months ago and didn’t watch it until now. By now you must know the story, but just in case here’s a recap. Snow White is a princess that lives with her evil Stepmother/The Queen who is jealous of her beauty, so she sends a huntsman to kill Snow White, take her heart and put it in a Jewelry box. The Huntsman doesn’t have the heart to do it (no pun intended) and let her escape into the woods. She meets 7 dwarfs that work in a diamond mine and became her roomies (well, more like their slave) The Queen then disguise herself as an old lady that sales apples, so she can give Snow White a poisonous apple and well you know what’s coming so I won’t waste your time.

Thoughts on the Movie: I didn’t realized how dark is this movie! I’ve never read the Grimm Brother’s story but I’ve heard it’s darker than this. In the last 20 years have you seen a Disney animated movie were the villain wants to kill the princess so badly to the extreme of wanting to be buried alive?! Jeez, this one hell of a villain, and all of this is because she wants to be the fairest of them all, that’s extreme jealousy right there. Still I got some intriguing questions about the 7 dwarfs. My first is who is the heck is their boss? that’s one abusive son of a bitch making these dwarfs work that hard on a diamond mine and make them live in a small house like slaves! And my second question is, were they Santa’s little helpers who got fired thanks to the economy? Also who named their kids Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful and Dopey? Ok I think i’m making things too complicated. Overall, this is a great movie with beautiful music, cool story and crazy characters. This is where all the Disney Princesses started and this is one heck of a movie to beat. It is considered one of the greatest movies of all times and in my list it sure is.

Will I recommend this movie: Hell yeah! This is a must see for any movie junkie.

Thumbs Up or Down?: Up you crazy people!

Yeah yeah you know what’s coming, send me your movie suggestion(s) by writing them in the comment section or tweet me (@Punkyval)

After a weekend vacation i’m finally back and ready for action… or comedy. Let’s start with what I always do, explain the movie. It’s about a very singular store named Empire Records were the employees are basically high schoolers with issues. One day Joe the Owner, let Lucas, one of his employees, close the store. Lucas finds that the store is being sold to a generic franchise music store called Music Town. So he takes all the the day’s cash and go to Atlantic City to see if he can win more money and save the store, which he lose. The next day Joe finds that Lucas never deposit the money, but he has to put everything on hold when a has-been pop artist named Rex Manning was going to sign autographs for a publicity stunt. While the employees has their own problems like Corey a Rex Manning groupie that wants to lose her virginity to him, or Deb a suicidal girl or even a crazy shoplifter, Lucas has to figure out how to pay all the money… while being held on a sofa in the break room.

Thoughts on the movie: For a moment I thought this was a John Hughes teen movie because of the atmosphere and the drama. The characters are funny and some unpredictable. The music is frigging awesome, it’s pure 90’s and I know i’m buying the soundtrack asap. This can probably be the “breakfast club” of the 90s just for the only reason of me wanting to get into a time machine and go to that nostalgic era. This is a teen movie, don’t expect to have a serious drama with 0 cheesy and random moments. Also Renée Zellweger can really sing! Don’t know why she never made an album, I will probably buy it with eyes close. Also, Liv Tyler looks the same, I think she drank the same thing as Keanu Reeves (My theory is that they encountered Jacob and ask him to make them immortal… ok enough of Lostism *wink*) 

Will I recommend this movie?: Oh yess! if you love music and cool teen movies as much as I do, then yes.

Thumbs Up or Down?: of course they’re up! *runs into a mushpit*

Don’t ask me why I watch a direct to DVD Disney Sequels, just don’t. So let’s start this “movie”. It begins with The fairy Godmother reading the Cinderella story to a bunch of mice. Jaq and Gus (the ones from the first movie… yeah those mice) arrived late, so the Fairy godmother suggest to make another book of Cinderella’s adventures after she got married. So the movie is 3 short stories narrated by the mice. The first one is about Cinderella arriving from her honeymoon (or that’s what it looks like), she is put in charge of a royal banquet so she has to learn how to be a princess and blah blah blah. The second story is about Jaq who wants to help Cinderella but thinks he’s too small for that, so the fairy Godmother turns him into a human. And the third story is about Cinderella’s stepsister Anastasia who fells in love with the town’s baker, but her Mother doesn’t approved of the relationship. The End… 

Thoughts on the movie: I had to look for info about this movie because it felt like a after school special or part of a Disney Channel show, which is not, this is the sequel to one of the most beloved Disney Princess movie. First, this is only 70 minutes long which for me it’s too short. Second, it’s stupid and boring, the only story that it was about Cinderella it’s the first one, the rest were just filler just to make it look like a real movie and not show. The only story that I really was interested in was the one about the stepsister but still it was as if a 10 year old girl wrote it (heck it was told by mice!). The animation is not the worse but it still bad. For example, there’s a part were the king accidentally got messy with chocolate pudding, the next second he’s all cleaned up! What shock me the most is that this movie was Disney’s top selling dvd animated sequel of 2002, selling more than $120 million dollars! They need to take all those DVDs and burn them, no kid need to suffer for 70 minutes. And don’t get me started on the music, thank goodness they never released the soundtrack, i’m pretty sure they were ashamed of it. 

Will I recommend this movie?: Hell no! in fact, if you have this movie, do yourself a favor and use it as a frisbee.

Thumbs Up or Down: Down for thinking that a rat infested castle was going to be a great idea.

See ya tomorrow with another animation… don’t ask me which one but I hope it’s good

Suggested by: Mercury_diva, Mikey Insanity & JessicaRaineTheInsane

This has to be the most suggested movie by far, heck if I had to request one animation it has to be this one (More on that later) So let us begin our story. It’s about Chihiro a whining girl who is moving with her parents to another town. On their way to their new home, they got lost and ended up in a “abandoned theme park”. The father got curious and they all go inside to find one restaurant open. Chihiro refused to eat but her parents went ahead and started eating, so she wanders off and met a boy named Haku who warns her to escape before it’s too late. To make the story short, she went to get her parents who are now Pigs and finds herself in a Spirit town were a spirit bathhouse is her only way to go to try and find a explanation to what’s going on. With the help Haku and Kamaji the boiler master, she gets hired to work there until she finds a way to get her parents back.

Thoughts on the movie: This is one of my favorite movies of all time, so i’ve seen it a bunch of times but never dub, so to change the experience a little that’s how I watched it and I still love it. The dub is awesome but I still prefer Subs, not a fan of reading them but I’m trying to push myself to understand japanese and I think it’s kinda working. Anyway, I envy Miyazaki’s imagination to create a world that can capture you in a way that you don’t want the movie to end. The character’s growth is awesome, you can see a whining 10 year old become a mature, heroic and responsable girl who wants to make things right. No matter how many times i’ve seen it, I always find something else that I love about it. Ok i’ll stop before I start to sound all cheesy and kissing Miyazaki’s ass (ewwwww! lol)

Will I recommend this movie?: Why you’re not watching it right now?! Yes go now and watch it.:P
