Paranormal Activity 2

The second movie of Paranoral Activity is Back. The first movie caused a lot of buzzes and hyped last year when it came out.
All of my friends and co-workers has the same reviews, "it was Scary".Haha
Honestly, It didn't really bug me to the point that I can't sleep, but it made me wonder what would happen and left me imagining stuff.
I would go see this movie since the last one was good and it was worth the money,lol.
Plus the trailer seems to have more ideas to scare people on the story. I just hope that they don't spoil and over do it since the first one was great.

The movie Paranormal Activity 2 is directed by Tod Kip Williams. But Oren Peli who directed the first film is still attached as producer.

"The Shutter Island" the movie

First of ALL, Happy 4th of July Everyone!!!! After watching "Avatar" on DVD, I felt like I needed to watch another film. SO i went to look for something that's horror, suspense, or maybe some thriller. I came across "Shutter Island". I heard some reviews from the radio station last year, and there was postive and negative feedbacks from the hosts. So I guess, let's try watching this one.
I would have to say this movie is more of a drama to me than more of a thriller after the whole ending and learning the story behind it. Maybe a little suspense here and there, or maybe it just didn't work for me...whatever.
I would give a lot of Kudos to the Plot twist, since it has excellent creativeness to an extent. you would have to pick a side, wait for the movie to finish and be proven right or wrong. ALso the dreamlike illusion effect, to describe a certain past was cool too.
Anyway the story is about two federal marshall called up to the island that provides housing for the criminally insane as a psychiatric institute. They were called to Island due to a recent dissapearance of one of the prisoner that vanished out of her like a bubble. As they asked questions around, things becomes suspicious of the people that work there. They start to wonder if they are the one investigating the actual crime or they are ones being investigated.

Avatar 2009

I'm probably way behind with this one, haha. I just saw this movie yesterday on "DVD" and I was blown away with the Special effects. I wish I could've seen it on 3D or in the theaters. I would've have goosebumps, Haha. It was really amazingly beautiful. WHen I was watching the trailer, I kinda assume the story, but then again, it was a lot different from what I have thought. It's kinda similar to the idea of the matrix with the body switching but completely different. Its gonna take long on my side to explain, I'm not gonna bother. Plus the story has something to do with History and bringing the peace back to equality with freedom or something close to that idea.
James Cameron is the Director of this movie, He's one of the greatest as we all know in our generation. A lot of props to the special effects, its breathtaking and magical....lol..I think those were my favorite parts which is seeing the nature.
All the Actors were awesome too.
It should win a lot of awards. Its really worth seeing this movie. One of the best in our lfetime.
The last movie I saw that I really like was "Slumdog Millionaire".then this one.

Kill Bill 3 Release 2014!

I found this video yesterday of Quentin Tarantino officially announcing the making of the movie KIll bill 3...apparently this was from last year...so im a little late about the news.
here it is:

Does he have any history of saying things about projects and ended up not making it?...im not sure...who cares...im excited...its one of my favorite movie of all time. Im a big fan...I heard it took him ten years to do the first kill bill..thats crazy.
I wonder what will happen with the story since almost everyone from the last volumes were dead. Maybe Vernita green's daughter Nikki will take the revenge(after all its a story of revenge)...Black mamba's daughter will step up too, Elle Driver might become a blind fighting machine..hehe. There could be more prediction and speculations later on...im just excited to hear that there will be kill bill volume 3...I just assume that Quentin will take this up another level since he really have that vibe of knowing how to work out his collaborative-imagination.

Haunting in Connecticut(2009)

I saw this movie last year at the Theaters, and saw it again on cable couple of nights ago. The movie was actually a true Story. The house use to be a funeral Parlor with Disturbing history and inconceivable acts performed providing gateways to spiritual entities.. I remember first watching the documentary on Discovery Channel. That version was actually scary and kinda got me thinkin about it for days. I would give it an 8 out 10. It wasn't really that bad. I guess it would be a lot scarier if I didnt know the story already to begin with so I won't have much of expectations. the Special effect was good...when that thing came out of the boys mouth...it felt kinda gross and disgusting.

here is a link to the documentary:

here's the trailer from last year.

Street fighter - The legend of Chun - li

Short Summary:

As the Street Fighter saga celebrates its 20th anniversary, fight fans are invited to follow along with fearsome fighter Chun-Li as she faces off against a series of formidable opponents in this feature adaptation of the popular video-game franchise directed by Exit Wounds' Andrzej Bartkowiak. Previously adapted for the screen in the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme film, the series continues to thrive as eager gamers across the globe go toe-to-toe to determine who is the most skilled and powerful warrior in the video-game universe.
On the streets of Bangkok, crime boss Bison instigates a wave of violence in the slum districts, grabbing power and land no matter what the costs to its residents. His ruthless tactics are met by a team of heroes consisting of Chun-Li, a half-Caucasian/half-Asian beauty who gave up a life of privilege to become a street fighter, battling for those who cannot fight for themselves; her kung fu master, Gen, once a feared criminal, who now fights for the forces of good; Interpol cop Charlie Nash, who has tracked the crime boss all over the world, and Nash's partner, gangland homicide detective Maya Sunee.

My review:
This movie did not really reach my expectation...I have to give this movie a 5 out of 10...I didnt want to see this on theaters last year because I was warned that its a waste of time and money, sounds kinda harsh...but I guess I got that mssg. right. I've been a fan of Street Fighter ever since - part of Childhood thing...lol...When the game first came out back in the day, it has about 8 to 12 main characters..and I pretty much know each of those character's story by instinct.
There was a Street Fighter movie that came out in 1994 i think and that movie was old school but better than this one. I just watched some clips of it youtube and just to bring back som memories...haha..
Sometimes I think that gamers are hard to please when it comes to putting the games on film...But with these types of movies I suggest to stick with the real Adaptations from the game instead of makin up some new Stuff...I can unerstand with the cosstume and clothings/uniforms, It would look kinda stupid wearing boxing gloves, capes, Sparring gears, etc. while walking in the streets fighting evil...lol
Little things bother while watching the movie such as vegas mask was to big for his face, he got beat in like less than a minute, but then again in the game he was one of the best villain fighters. There wasnt a lot of action on this film either,.Plus they were fighting Guns and Arsenals..when Street fighter is never really about that from the beginning...I want to see lots of martial arts fights.
I think the producers of this film is trying to reach out to the new generation of audience - all ages...but with gamers it would never work. They know the roots of the game and story.
Im also wondering if the producers ever played Street fighter or finish playing the the characters in the game...well just a thought
I hope that the next sequel for this would at least improve its special effect and make it an action packed movie...keepin the expectatio med.
still think its an ok film, plenty of ways to please the new generation.
Maybe the game would be much suited for anime type movies.
