The Evolution of the Coif

We of the Railing Seat Reviews take our Man Loves, Crushes and Idols very seriously...
This one is for Nic Cage; the Man, the Legend, THE COIF.

Season of the Witch

tony says:
for your listening pleasure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5aPhGQ0L9Q so heres the question: will this film be better or worse than drive angry?
Alex says:
drive angry will be worse, way worse
tony says:
i agree. i actually liked this film for a while. kept me engaged
Alex says:
I was bored and falling asleep, maybe cuz of the buuurr and then I saw the ending twist and I thought I was watching a cutscene from Diablo 2
tony says:
i thought that it was cool how they kept you wondering if the girl was a witch or not.. or was that just me not being smart enough to figure it out? and what twist?! haha there was no twist!
Alex says:
there was a twist, it wasn't she was or was not a witch. she was a DEMON! in disguise!
tony says:
oh right right
Alex says:
you can't even remember cuz it was so bad
tony says:
then it turned into an exorcism movie. it was bad
Alex says:
holy water cleanses all
tony says:
if she was all that powerful i dont understand why she needed them to find the book. she knew where it was. i dont get that part, but come on.. nic cage was great as usual and ron pearlman is always cool even tho he looks more and more like marmaduke
Alex says:
I think he believed he was in the crusades
tony says:
nic cage believes in every role hes in. thats why hes fantastic
Alex says:
his coif was kept to a minimal in this film
Alex says:
I think the coif quota will be met in Drive Angry
tony says:
yeah that was dissapointing! it all felt like a giant quest line in world of warcraft, ending in a cutscene you would just skip..
Alex says:
it was a party quest. that ended inside a dungeon
tony says:
good point and it was a party wipe
Alex says:
no, the kid made it out, and with loot
tony says:
the kid never ressed them tho
Alex says:
he was low lvl, didn't have the spell
tony says:
and the only loot was an offhand book. we are such nerds
Alex says:
kid got the girl, thats loot
tony says:
tru tru
Alex says:
plus the offhand was server first and last
tony says:
HAHAHA good point! you're on fire today
Alex says:
no one is going to understand what we're talking about, maybe 2 readers
Alex says:
oh wait...4? who cares
tony says:
another good point. but basically this is the kinda film uwe boll wishes he could make
tony says:
thats all anyone needs to know
tony says:
thats all they need to understand
Alex says:
I got the song stuck in my head the whole time watching this film
tony says:
what song?
Alex says:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5aPhGQ0L9Q
tony says:
its the season of the witch!!!!!!
Alex says:
maybe readers should listen while reading
tony says:
i'll post it at the beginning. ok 5.5/10 for me kept me engage until i realized how dumb it was
Alex says:
5/10 for me, I was bored and the production was low...january movie fodder.

True Grit

tony says:
are you a man of true grit al?
Alex says:
How is it we are reviewing 2, count em, 2 Bridges movies, where he plays 3 roles?
tony says:
cause he has true effing grit! and hes the dude! and he is awesome
Alex says:
they needed subtitles for whenever Bridges spoke in this film. I think I only understood what the girl said
tony says:
you didnt like his mountain man western accent? i thought matt damon enunciated quite well, MATT DAmoN!
Alex says:
I only see Bridges mouth move, but all I hear is.... mmmnaaahh...naaah...ummm...nyyaaahhh...seeeee....nyahh
tony says:
hahahahahahaaha
Alex says:
eyepatch
tony says:
bridges is the man
Alex says:
he is, of true grit
tony says:
i only wish i didnt see the fighter right before this movie cause it woulda been a lot better
but i still really enjoyed it..
Alex says:
it didn't feel like a coen film either
tony says:
i think i disagree there, it had like all the whacky characters that are only around for a few scenes
like the bear shaman guy and barry pepper
Alex says:
I want bear pelts, they keep me warm
tony says:
lot of the characters felt a little cartoony tho. do you trust bear pelts dentistry skills?
Alex says:
I think he just pulled teeth...but he said he did other sorts of healing
tony says:
he was great all the acting was really good too, just a solid film... kinda boring if youre not a huge western fan tho
Alex says:
what? like that girl next to us that was writing a twitter essay?
tony says:
thats exactly who i had in mind! when she dropped her phone i was soooo giddy!
Alex says:
I think she was using 2 phones to do it
tony says:
i felt bad for her, she probably thought they were all going to go watch 'little fockers'
Alex says:
thats worse
tony says:
not to her! anyway 8.5/10 for me
Alex says:
8/10 for me, the Bridges, Maaat DAAAAAAmon and introducing that annoying girl that had to go and giiiit heers...really made the film the rest of the characters were good, but too short.
tony says:
what about barry pepper? he was good!


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: Little Blackie
Tony's Pick: the girl

Line of the Movie:
Al: "Are we dealing again?!"
Tony: ''you are not le boeuf!"

Tron: Legacy 3D

Alex says:
Tron makes me want to play some ultimate frisbee or xtreme frisbee, either way, something awesome
Alex says:
barefoot,
with no shirt, like a douche
tony says:
tron makes me want to go off the grid and live out in the wild
tony says:
the only thing good in this movie was that it had jeff bridges go up against a younger computer animated jeff bridges that actually looked really real
Alex says:
so only the bridges can take on the bridges
tony says:
yes! this opens up a whole bunch of possibilities! imagine if you will 3 generations of clint eastwood fighting each other!
Alex says:
no! they're not going to make vs. movies based on actors
tony says:
they should! cause nothing else was good in this movie
Alex says:
movie was great! it is solid holiday entertainment
tony says:
visually i guess it was ok.. and that david bowie-esque character was interesting but thats about it
Alex says:
forget what the critics say, it doesn't need story, its just visual fun
tony says:
what was good about it? let me remind you of the crappy ending! NO PLOT either! and olivia wilde is so gd annoying
Alex says:
ummm I want my own virtual Olivia Wilde undigitized and made flesh
Alex says:
shiiiit, I'd make a whole army
tony says:
and i want a tron suit but thats about it
tony says:
and a tron snuggie that evil jeff bridges had. i thought you hated olivia wilde
Alex says:
that was good too, it will light my way during the night time. I want one! one Tron snuggie and my own Quorra
tony says:
but you cant possibly tell me that you thought there was a plot or an ending.. or did you just like it regardless? how was olivia wilde supposed to save humanity anyway? they never explained that
Alex says:
humanity wasn't in peril, it was about her as a digital creation, made from nothing
tony says:
what does that have to do with anything? tron coulda satisfied everyone by having more lightcycle scenes.. and/or frisbee battle scenes! everyone expected an epic showdown at the end that involved either one of the aforementioned weapons but instead we get an almost-embrace scene between the two jeff bridges... which was just strange and creepy and weird and curious and hot
Alex says:
I just wanted more glow in the dark Wilde, or that all white chick....mmmmm
tony says:
so none of the stuff i mentioned bothered you about the film?
Alex says:
nope! don't care, epic score, awesome eye candy...it was enough for me
tony says:
well it wasnt the worst film.. but i just expected more i guess but then again i didnt really remember the original
Alex says:
don't need more, it was the exact same film as the first tron, just a rehased story line, and it had all the same stuff....like a updated Tron
tony says:
what story-line!?!? oh nevermind! 6/10 for me
Alex says:
I would go 6/10 too, but Olivia gets a +1 and Daft Punk score gets another +1 making it a 8/10!
wpic!
tony says:
daft punk was cool i agree.. i have been told the music went sooo well with everything.. but i didnt pay too much attention, you're right about that


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: the 2 Bridges
Tony's Pick: the old dude with the beeper

Line of the Movie:
Al: " You're messing with my Zen thing maaan!!"
Tony: 'Radical man!"

tony says:
everytime bridges says anything that remotely sounds like dude lebowski its epic.. agreed?
Alex says:
there was a carpet in his hideout

Faster

Alex says:
What did you learn from this film?
tony says:
that the rock is not just as fast as any killer in the world.. but hes FASTER
Alex says:
way Faster
tony says:
im so glad he did this movie... its been like 5 years since hes killed anyone on film
Alex says:
The ROCK WAS RIPPPPPPEDDD!!!!
Alex says:
I was scurrrred
tony says:
he was ANGRY
tony says:
and FAST
Alex says:
I dunno about you
Alex says:
but if I saw him on the street coming after me, I'd just lie down and give up
tony says:
oh me too
tony says:
the man ran out of prison
tony says:
RAN like 50 miles
Alex says:
he jogged to his car, some unkown distance away
tony says:
ok ok but still
tony says:
epic
tony says:
what did you think about moonbloodgood?
Alex says:
she got fat, but still awesome
Alex says:
cuz she hawt
Alex says:
but you know who else was smoking in this film besides the Rock?!
Alex says:
MAGGIE GRACE
Alex says:
yeah I said eeeetttt
tony says:
oh no you didnt
tony says:
maggie grace is the scum of the earth
Alex says:
she was hawt, I think that scene alone was worth rewatching
Alex says:
you disgust me
tony says:
only you would mention that out of all the badass scenes the rock was in
tony says:
did you even really realize how fast he was?
Alex says:
I didn't, he was too fast
tony says:
plus carla cugino is hotter anyway
Alex says:
oh puuuleeeze
tony says:
the rocks car and use of handgun was worth it alone to watch and were way hotter too
Alex says:
that car was epic
Alex says:
but I think they made that magnum seem more powerful than it really is
Alex says:
I want the Rock's tatoos
Alex says:
and his GUUUNNNZ
tony says:
those tats instill fear
Alex says:
hes a dead man
Alex says:
I felt like I was watching Kill Bill 1/2 way through the film though
tony says:
it did have the kill bill feel
tony says:
except none of his opponents were any good
Alex says:
they didn't stand a chance anyways
tony says:
i'm just glad hes back.. so i dunno how to really judge this film.. cause i might have just really liked it because hes back
Alex says:
it was a good solid action flick
tony says:
but why'd he have to take gary?
tony says:
and why does he threaten everyone at gunpoint first? even his mom
Alex says:
Gary doesn't want to be cooped up at home
tony says:
and why was debra from dexter in this movie? oh i know that one! because she does the best crying scene in modern film
Alex says:
they put a call out for a crying scene, and when Debra responded, all other applicants dropped out
tony says:
do you think watching a debra cry scene should be shown in all drama classes? as manditory video?
Alex says:
there are entire courses around her Crying Demo reel
tony says:
would it be a first year course or an advanced course?
Alex says:
there is a 101 course, then advanced crying, and Oscar grab courses
tony says:
hahahaha
tony says:
someone should do a debra crying montage on youtube
tony says:
anyway thanks rock for doing real movies again, and thanks for being so angry, and thanks especially for being so fast!
Alex says:
I think they should reshoot and replace the Rock in Nic Cage's upcoming film, Drive Angry
Alex says:
maybe he has more Disney films waiting
tony says:
no his contract is expired
tony says:
have both of them in the film!
Alex says:
Nic Cage and the Rock on film? too epic
tony says:
way too epic!
Alex says:
the screen would just evapourate
tony says:
too angry
tony says:
way way way too fast
Alex says:
they'd have to construct some titanium sheet metal as the screen and tickets will cost $50
tony says:
i'd pay!
tony says:
you know you would too
tony says:
7.5/10 for me.. thanks rock !
Alex says:
7/10 standard action, but a good action film, better than his early career stuff
Alex says:
ps Billy Bob is still a douche


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: the Rock
Tony's Pick: the rock candidate for heart of the year

Line of the Movie:
Al: " I masterd Yoga! I've gone beyond Yoga!"

The Next Three Days

tony says:
if you're like me and you hate russell crowe and you thought the coolness of liam neeson can get you through this movie.. you're gonna be absolutely furious here..
tony says:
al what was the difference in the time liam was on screen in the trailer compared to the time he was in this film?
Alex says:
none
tony says:
in fact the trailer that we saw before this "unknown" had more liam neeson in it than this film
tony says:
and didnt elizabeth banks look like charlize theron from monster in here? maybe its the orange jumpsuits.
Alex says:
no way, Charlize was naaasty in Monster
Alex says:
you can learn that you can learn a lot watching things on youtube from this film though
tony says:
thats true
tony says:
a lot of criminal things
tony says:
i just didnt care about any of the characters
tony says:
the act of saving her was selfish, she didnt gain any sympathy from the audience, so we didnt care about saving her..
Alex says:
wooot?! quiet english prof and husband of wrongfully accused, takes the law in his own hands and learns everything he needs to so that he can bust his wife out of prison?!
Alex says:
no you're right, what am I saying
Alex says:
Banks looked horrid when she was in jail
Alex says:
after I ripped off those drug dealers and made off with that amount of cash, I woulda hooked up with Olivia Wilde and left
tony says:
MONSTER
tony says:
what was with the weird olivia wilde sideplot?
tony says:
was that an attempt at comic relief?
Alex says:
its not weird, shes HAWT
tony says:
her forehead is massive
Alex says:
you take that back
tony says:
it's giada-esque
Alex says:
shes not whats her name from American Beauty
tony says:
oooh ironhead
tony says:
you're right you're right
Alex says:
I AMMM IRON HEAD
Alex says:
I woulda left the kid too
Alex says:
got on the freeway and said, forget that kid and booked it
tony says:
that would've been more entertaining but like i said.. you dont really care about any of the characters.. you know the boy will still have solid grandparents if his idiot parents got/and they shoudlve got caught
tony says:
so to put it quite frankly.. you just dont care what happens.. its impossible to stay engaged
Alex says:
and were they trying to say something about canadian airports!?
tony says:
i think they were
tony says:
i didnt like that either
tony says:
stupid film
Alex says:
I think this is the perfect television movie in a few years
tony says:
agreed
tony says:
excellent made for tv movie
tony says:
was like watching two jobber wrestlers compete for the wwe belt.. supposed to be exciting but you just dont care
tony says:
proud of liam for not staying too long on this project actually
tony says:
5.5/10 for me..seems like im always getting tricked
Alex says:
he needs to make Taken 2: Took
tony says:
no no more maggie grace!
Alex says:
5/10 also, it had a nice buildup when things started going


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: the deaf passport dealer, cuz he was a nice guy and sought Crowe out to help him
Tony's Pick: the detective

Line of the Movie:
Al: " AAmmmm DAAFFF UUU AAASSSHHHOO"
Tony: "can you kill a guard? "


tony says:
why must you always make fun of the deaf?? you're heartless!
Alex says:
its the accent
Alex says:
its not really making fun of them
Alex says:
just facinated
tony says:
i'll see you in hell!

Due Date

tony says
do you get the feeling that every movie with robert downey jr in it is saved only because robert downey jr is in it?
Alex says
this movie is awesome, but if RDJ was not in it, this movie would've been really depresssing
tony says
it still was depressing! zack galafinakas wasnt funny in here
Alex says
I think thats his brand of humour
tony says:
this movie was like funny people in that it was advertised a lot to seem more funny than it was... its one thing to make a comedy that isnt funny but this movie felt like a depressing drama... im tired of being tricked
Alex says:
yeah, funny people was not funny
Alex says:
did we review that pos?
tony says:
yeah we did
Alex says:
I don't like this trend of comedies
tony says:
and this movie in a lot of ways felt like that
tony says:
i mean dont get me wrong there were a lot of pretty funny scenes...
Alex says:
maybe we should watch dramas and consider them to be comedy
Alex says:
or low budget action flicks, cuz legend of chun li is still funny
tony says:
thats true
tony says:
like i said there were SOME funny scenes, like RDJ punching that kid, and the mexica\from the makers of hangovern border patrol scenes, but a movie labelled
tony says:
from the makers of hangover.. should be all laughs
tony says:
none of this depressing business with zack's dad
Alex says:
actually that kid punching scene I forgot
Alex says:
that was funny
Alex says:
misbehaving kids should be treated as such
tony says:
it was the best scene
Alex says:
I condone beating your kids when they're outta line
tony says:
that kid was a menace
Alex says:
you should try that tmr
Alex says:
he reminded me of a younger Ryan L
tony says:
oh hes sooo a ryan l
tony says:
good connection
Alex says:
cuz he's not hitting you, the dinosaur is
tony says:
i didnt understand why jamie foxx was in this movie too
tony says:
he was creepy
Alex says:
I think RDJ and Foxx are best friends after the Soloist
tony says:
just gives me reason to hate the soloist more
Alex says:
they chill together...
Alex says:
I think he tried to get Foxx for the role of War Machine
tony says:
i hope not
Alex says:
anyways back onto this horrid film they branded as a comedy
Alex says:
I got nothing
Alex says:
the first 30 mins of the film was good...then it got weird and depressing
tony says:
yeah thats pretty much how i felt about it too
tony says:
the dog was funny.. you think he could really do his ""special" talent?
Alex says:
dogs jerk off all the time!
tony says:
im pretty sure ive never seen a dog do it like that!!
tony says:
dont like the coffee can ash tribute for the big lebowski either
tony says:
dont destroy a classic scene
tony says:
wtf does this have to do with vietnam?
tony says:
well i'll give this movie a 6/10 always love downey jr! so i cant give it too low
Alex says:
5/10 for me, not recommendable to anyone, even RDJ fans
tony says:
thats a little harsh no?
Alex says:
and Zach is done, calling it
tony says:
hes the hottest thing right now!
Alex says:
done!
tony says:
wait maybe he's done! and my boy ben foster can finally arrive!
Alex says:

Jackass 3D

tony says
i mean it's really hard to review a movie like jackass! i will say that i thought most of the stunts were less funny than the previous movies and the 3D really did nothing to make the film better
Alex says
I think I'm too old to enjoy Jackass now,
tony says
that's what i was just about to say..
Alex says
and I think its a sad state of affairs
tony says
but i get the sense that they might be getting too old to do some of the more dangerous stunts
so it felt like a regression
Alex says
its just all shit and dick stunts and I think Steve-o really has some sort of mental disorder
tony says
i just think the only way you can make these movies better is to go more extreme.. but there's no where else to go although the portapotty bungee was disgusting
Alex says
it seemed like watching a bunch of old tired guys trying to relive their youths...
tony says
exactly
Alex says
maybe that last scene describes the whole movie for me
tony says
where things were blowing up?
Alex says
the portappotty
Alex says
just throw everyone's shit at the camera and make a movie out of it
tony says
hahaha yeah
Alex says
and what with peeing on people? how is that a stunt? or something funny?
people are in straight jackets and a padded room if this was 20 years back
tony says
the old man act was terrible too
Alex says
dirty grandpa was dirty
tony says
not enough funny stuff.. too much stupid and disturbing stuff 3/10 for me.. better off watching the old films
Alex says
or the mtv reruns 3/10 also, cuz I dunno what else to give it


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: no one, they should all retire or check themselves in a care facility
Tony's Pick: johnny knoxville for keeping it going

Line of the Movie:
Al: " He literally shit himself"
Tony: n/a

RED

tony says
ok for this movie, see my review for the losers, basically it was like paint it by the numbers way of making an action comecdy
Alex says
John Malkavich was still worth seeing this film
tony says
that saved me from walking out, i must admit
Alex says
and whats her name from weeds
Alex says
the rest of the film was...there was some conspiracy...some fighting, shooting...and car chases
tony says
weeds girl was SOOO annoying! the romance was unrealistic
tony says
the fact that she'd stick with bruce willis the whole movie was absurd
Alex says
but they read the same books!
tony says
nice al nice
Alex says
ty, oh and why did they have to kill of Morgan Freeman
tony says
morgan dies in almost every film tho and they needed you to have some sort of human emotions besides hatred towards mary louise parker , it was just stupid
Alex says
I have nothing to say about this film other than Malkavich, because there really isn't much else to say
tony says
the movie was so dumb. i 100% agree with you
Alex says
maybe I should read the comics that it was based on? nah who am I kidding?
tony says
4/10 for me all 4 for john malkovich
Alex says
I'd give it the same as Loosers, maybe a +1 for John


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: Brain Cox's character, I think...I dunno, this film is shite

Easy A

tony says
ok finally! your new msn is retarded al
Alex says
I didn't make it! keep up with technology, old man
tony says
shut up
Alex says
hi Shellie
Shellie says
hi Al!!!
tony says
ok so easy a! who wants to start?
Shellie says
This is the movie about the soccer player right?
tony says
i think that's She's the man
Alex says
I forgot...I just know there were a bunch of 30 something acting as highschool kids
Shellie says
That girl was not 30-something! She was late 20's. And she was a bad ass.
tony says
i remember it started out ok. al i thought you loved emma stone
Shellie says
i love Emma Stone. She's HAWT.
Alex says
the rest of the cast was easily 25+ but I will have to agree with that point
tony says
thats true.. emma's bff in that film was 39 at least
Shellie says
Oh he's hot too! There was a definite lack of brains though. Just lots of hotness to distract me.
tony says d
espite the 90210 style for casting teenagers, i still think the film started ok. what? shellie who are you thinking of? i meant her girl bff. we sound like we're on tmz
Shellie says
Oh I thought you meant bf. Hehe. Yeah the bff was pushing 40. And she was not hot...but I liked this movie! Is that wrong of me?
Alex says
I don't think Today's Youth would have sat through the main characters 1 hour + long explanation on why shes a ho-bag
tony says t
he end fell apart tho. al she's NOT a ho-bag! you didnt get her msg
Shellie says
She's a fake ho-bag!
Alex says
yeah, cuz I fell asleep during some parts
Shellie says
That was her message, right? Don't pretend to be a ho, it just causes messes.
tony says
you might have missed the whole point of the film al
Shellie says
You did not fall asleep Al!
tony says
al was 'distracted'
Alex says
so she is not a Ho? but she wore an A, for A-ho
tony says
sigh
Shellie says
hahahaha...A-non-ho
tony says
can we stop saying ho?!
Shellie says
Clearly Al was paying NO attention. Tony, you're a ho.
Alex says
a-faux-ho
Shellie says
YEAH!!!!
tony says
ho ho ho
Alex says
a...hah /snicker
Shellie says Y
ou guys don't know what it's like to be a girl. This movie touched my heart in many ways.
tony says
um that may be true.. but in high school i had to wear the scarlett A too, for i was a man-ho
Shellie says
Yeah, and people probably slapped you high fives. I got shunned all the time because of this kind of stuff. I mean....not me. A friend of mine.
tony says
hahahaha
tony says
ok so the movie... somewhere we lost our way i think
Shellie says
Solid. The parents were hilarious. That's all I really remember. And the hot mascot. Great movie.
tony says
the parents were good.. and i must say thats what i remember the most about it too
Alex says
Stanley Tucci deserves more roles
Alex says
and their adopted child
Shellie says
Hahaha...I forgot about the adopted child!
tony says
6.5/10 good start.. ok middle.. ending turned into every other teen film
Shellie says
Okay, I say 7/10. Emma Stone is my hero...I'm already fabricating slutty A clothes.
Alex says
I did not like this film, I thought Mean Girls was better, this one just played on the whole youtube and v-log thing.... 5/10 for moi
Shellie says
Mean Girls is way better!
tony says
tina fey is awesome

The Town

Alex says
I want a Boston accent. I will attempt to convey that said accent phonetically within this review
starting now.
tony says
i feel like the accent was overdone by affleck but i dont know the accent well enough to make this claim
Alex says
walll, I jwust sawwww depawwwted again, and I thouwghhtt it was correct
tony says
HAHAHAHAAH that's pretty damn good!! what movie are we reviewing again?
Alex says
da taaawnn
tony says
your accent is horrendous
Alex says
its spawt on
tony says
but thank goodness the film was good.. it did a good job of making you feel sympathetic for the crooks. the cast was awesome.. jeremy renner is sooo badass.. and affleck was a MANSTER... but the actress was annoying... the liv tyler wannabe
Alex says
it was good, and Affleck is da shiiit, man was riippped, he might be above Maaat Dammmon now
tony says
i used to think affleck was a bit of a streisand.. until i saw phantoms
Alex says
live tyler wannabe conveyed a good cry on screen and Affleck was the bomb in phantoms yo
tony says
he was the effin bomb in phantoms! if i had another complaint about the film.. it was that kobayashi was not scary enough
Alex says
he looked like an undead, he just looked gross, with his leathery skin and that huge beak of a nose and yes Renner was also da shiiiit
tony says
since when did renner become such a badass?
Alex says
oh, lets not foowwwget Jon effin hamm. Renner was just born a badass
tony says
hamm is always good agreed. so im giving this movie 7.5/10 it was good... pretty simple story.. but well acted.
Alex says
There coulda been more heists, and better planned stuff...it does seem simple, but the bank robberies were not the main pawwwt of the story. 8/10, one of the better films to have come out this year
tony says
is the "ar" sound the only thing you know how to change about the boston accent?
Alex says
its a damn accurate one


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: renner for never wanting to go back
Tony's Pick: jeremy renner

Line of the Movie:
Al: " I'm putting dis whole taawn in mah rerview!"
Tony: " get that through your head!!"

Buried

tony says:
in terms of movies that only take place in a coffin.. this one was by far the best
Alex says:
but I saw it before, when Tarantino did it in Kill Bill and perfected in CSI:Vegas
Alex says:
those two had more tension and intensity than the entire Buried film
tony says:
true
tony says:
but the concept was still intriguing
tony says:
and i always like ryan reynolds
tony says:
that being said it still didnt work for me
Alex says:
Reynolds is the man, no doubt, but this shouldn't have been a film...its like some student project or an acting show case...its not a movie!
tony says:
gonna do a spoiler alert here so dont read on if you're interested in this film
tony says:
but it was like the road
tony says:
you see the character have struggles after struggles
tony says:
only to die at the end
tony says:
i know it's cliched to have a happy ending
tony says:
but sometimes it does work.. and it's needed or the audience just feels they've invested an hour and a half for nothing
Alex says:
they're charging regular admission to watch some guy in a box for an hour...I can see that and more when I go see David Blaine hang upside down and levitate
tony says:
no kidding..
tony says:
i mean whats the difference between the start of the movie and the end of the movie?
tony says:
nothing
tony says:
he was in trouble.. and then he is in trouble.. and then he died
Alex says:
not buying it, I want at least more location shoots and more actors on screen if I'm paying, I felt like I got cheated
tony says:
im ok with that
tony says:
i just think it wasnt very good
tony says:
i can watch one guy on screen thats fine tho
tony says:
like i said the concept WAS intriguing
tony says:
but they couldnt make it work
Alex says:
plus technically he woulda died long ago...plus no cell phone reception, pressure, air, yadda yadda
tony says:
yeah thats true
tony says:
lets bury this review then
Alex says:
aha...no
tony says:
im gonna give it a 7/10 for concept and attempt
tony says:
plus ryan reynolds is a badass
Alex says:
5/10 it could've been Liam in the box and it still wouldn't have saved the film


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: the snake for not biting Reynolds...I guess...to make it different
Tony's Pick: ryan reynolds

Line of the Movie:
Al: " you make video! make video!"
Tony: "EFF YOU!"

Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D

Alex says:
Milla is BACK!
tony says:
millas ARE back!
tony says:
but this franchise needs to be abolished
Alex says:
no way, now they got the redfields and that brack guy!
Alex says:
more 3D
tony says:
there isnt more in the story... i mean i can say that the video game stories are now more intriguing than the film stories, without a doubt
Alex says:
its gonna be like Saw!
tony says:
no more Saw
tony says:
no more resident
tony says:
we are part of the problem not the solution
Alex says:
our readers demand it!
Alex says:
Paul W.S Anderson owns my soul
tony says:
no one cares about these cretinous movies!
tony says:
come on man
tony says:
the piloting of that airplane in this movie had 4 year olds saying, "wait planes cant effing do that!"
tony says:
it was john cusack 2012-esque
Alex says:
so yeah....plot, character development, and story aside...that 3D is pretty awesome
tony says:
the 3D WAS good i do agree with that
tony says:
i guess we dont have to beat a dead horse
tony says:
its a resident evil film
tony says:
thats all it was
tony says:
didnt try to be anything else
tony says:
its satisfied just to be crap
Alex says:
would it be a kindness if they stopped making resident films
Alex says:
cwudididthurr?
tony says:
hahah RESIDENT KINDNESS
tony says:
4/10 for me all 4 rating was earned throught the actual COOl 3D
Alex says:
3D/10 ahahaha


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: Claire Redfield!!!
Tony's Pick: milla

Line of the Movie:
Al: N/A can't remember that they actually spoke any lines.
Tony: "lets play a game" oh wait is that saw?

Alex says:
cuz you know...shower scene...wet clothes...hulking zombie with a hammer/axe

The Last Exorcism

Alex says:
was there even an exorcism during the whole film?
tony says:
there was an attempt i think.. i dunno
tony says:
i'm really sick of these documentary style horror films
Alex says:
but you were scurred! I saw your hat tipped too low for viewing!
tony says:
i mean everytime there is a posession it is somewhat scary
tony says:
and i admit i did think i was gonna be scared of the film as a whole
tony says:
all that got thrown out the window though because of the monumentous retardation of an ending
Alex says:
it started out like a really different type of horror or a smarted type of film...but then it just fell apart at the end...I call it blair witch syndrome!
Alex says:
yeah I just made that up
Alex says:
or, its a really smart ending that gets you thinking....
Alex says:
nah who am I kidding, the film was r-tarded
tony says:
i swear this actress must have been a gymnast as well.. there were no speical effects.. just sound effects and her bending
Alex says:
she was scary, scary looking too!
Alex says:
and why did they have to kill the cat?
tony says:
cause they couldnt make her really kill anything else.... she's not evil right? shes brainwashed?
tony says:
i dunno
tony says:
this movie was sucky
tony says:
you have the exorcist already.. unless you're gonna make a film better than that.. dont bother to try
tony says:
thats what it really boils down to
Alex says:
I think they were cashing in on the exorcism name, it really didn't have much to do with it
tony says:
thats even more infuriating
tony says:
the "sexual" side plot in it was annoying too.. it was like watching law and order SVU
Alex says:
dun duuuun!
tony says:
and the brother was a ginger
tony says:
nuff said
Alex says:
stupid film, plus the trailers were all misleading
Alex says:
its a disturbing trend
tony says:
4.5/10 for me
tony says:
nice try.. stupid ending
Alex says:
6/10, the majority of the film was decent up to the last 5 min


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: I guess...the preist/pastor? cuz...he believed!
Tony's Pick: the minister

Line of the Movie:
Al: "wtf is a blowing job?"
Tony: " i can add a recipe for banana bread in the sermon, and no one would know!"

Takers

tony says:
we're takers thats what we do
tony says:
we take
Alex says:
stuff!
Alex says:
all kinds of stuff!
Alex says:
stealing is a bad word...
Alex says:
or maybe a word they haven't learned
tony says:
all this movie "took" was time i'll never get back
Alex says:
icwudyoudidthurrr
tony says:
and all it gave us.. was a fine fine performance by TI
Alex says:
T.I is the man....or an insanely retarded one...maybe he's like the african american equilvalent of jersey shore
tony says:
you may have a point.. but he stole every scene.. including the heist scene where he provided both colour and play by play commentary of what was happening. let that sink in for a sec
Alex says:
you know one thing that I know about T.I and the cast of this movie besides being real life felons?
tony says:
what?
Alex says:
dey fancy huh?
Alex says:
dey fancy huh?
tony says:
hair done nails done everything did
Alex says:
suits dun, hurrr dun
Alex says:
cars dun errrting did!
tony says:
hahahaha
tony says:
but seriously this movie was terrible
tony says:
chris brown was superhuman in this movie
tony says:
not since john cena in the marine has there been a more invincible human being
Alex says:
no he was frogger!
Alex says:
I saw this film before, when the heist actually worked, it was called Italian Job
tony says:
the stupidest thing about this movie was they tried to make you feel sympathy for the scumbags performing the heist
tony says:
a goal SO failed that you actually feel bad for matt effin dhillon the cop, one of the most douchebag actors in modern day history
Alex says:
I think his face is in the dictionary next to scumbag and douche
tony says:
i mean after seeing the town.. i dont even want to think about this film anymore
Alex says:
I dunno what I watched, I was expecting a heist film, but everything went wrong, not because they were foiled by cops or some clever execution or thinking of your feet, it was just a stupid heist that just didn't work
Alex says:
followed by Chris "shoulda finished the job" brown jumping around like a frog
tony says:
did you enjoy hayden christenson and/or paul walker? better yet could you tell them apart?
Alex says:
no, I think Paul Walker thought he was still on the set of 2 Fast 2 Furious
tony says:
so nothing good in this film but T.I. would you agree?
Alex says:
I dunno if you can call that good, but I guess its some kind of achievement
tony says:
another good point
tony says:
i didnt even mention how horrible the attempted twists in this film was
tony says:
4.5/10 for me..long live T.I.
Alex says:
5/10 I think the film...urbanized me
Alex says:
yeaaa..
tony says:
one of the stupidest actual heists ever showed in a movie
Alex says:
you fancy huh you fancy huh


The Chelios Heart Award
Al's Pick: Ghost (T.I)
Tony's Pick: T.I.

Line of the Movie:
Al: in response to a truck fallking through the road: "ohhhhh shiiiii maaang!"
Tony: T.I. telling us all about the heist

Machete

tony says:
so i'm gonna sound like a hypocrite here having given the pirhanas 3D movie such a bad review.. but i didn't hate this movie... despite it being in the same genre
Ivan says:
umm, we're in another window
Alex says:
are we talking about machete?
Ivan says:
but anyway, let us proceed
tony says:
yes machete
tony says:
it had the over the top violence, and the over the top nudiness but it was fun
tony says:
lohan's character was very very weird
Alex says:
lohan was awesome
tony says:
i'm glad after years and years of playing henchmen, trejo finally got a starring role
Ivan says:
Yes! His day finally came
Ivan says:
he got to be the star and be the hero
Ivan says:
brings a tear to my eye
tony says:
yeah i was happy to see that!
Alex says:
he's still ugly!
tony says:
trejo's got alligator skin
Ivan says:
he's like one of those 150 year old alligators you'd find in the everglades
tony says:
the kind of alligators horatio fights off in CSI miami! yeah!
tony says:
before you say anything else al... was there anything that could've happened in this movie for you to not give it a perfect review, given the shower scene with alba and your reaction in the theatre
Alex says:
more alba? it might have got a 20/10
tony says:
i think you missed the best thing about the film al: michelle rodriguez
Alex says:
I don't like She
tony says:
i'm fully convinced that she doesnt ever act, and has never acted in her life
tony says:
they dont even give michelle a script
Ivan says:
She was being herself
tony says:
they just bring her cage on set.. release her.. and film
tony says:
she's that badass
Alex says:
kinda like nic cage?
tony says:
slightly better
tony says:
but what nic cage does only nic cage can do
tony says:
but we digress
Ivan says:
It was a star-studded cast. Cheech, alba, lohan, rodriguez, and Seagal
Ivan says:
how awesome was he?
Ivan says:
he should do more villain roles
Alex says:
Seagal was the shiiiiiittt
Alex says:
cuz you can't kill him
tony says:
the last scene with seagal was brilliant
tony says:
absolutely brilliant
tony says:
saved the film for me
Ivan says:
Without giving it away, it was AWESOME
Alex says:
this ain't shit!
Ivan says:
they really put all their eggs in one basket with that scene and boy did it pay off!
tony says:
did you guys ever think you'd see seagal on a big screen again? i bet he opted out of expendables to do this film.. and for that i salute him
Ivan says:
Seeing Seagal on the big screen was a childhood dream realized! Three cheers for Robert Rodriguez
Alex says:
I wanted much more machete action though
tony says:
that one HUGE machete wasnt enough for you?
tony says:
it was 2 meters!
Alex says:
I just wanted to see him block bullets and take out an army with the thing, maybe even chop down doors, blockades, sniper towers
Ivan says:
the mega-machete was eXtreme!
Ivan says:
but he did pull off several whirlwind-esque kills. Very impressive, were they not?
Alex says:
way more, way more!
tony says:
with one whirlwind move he offed 5 guys!
tony says:
ivan al touched on this before.. but did u understand lohans role?
Ivan says:
No
tony says:
if you think about it.. she really doesnt accomplish anything..
my dream was that she was put in this film so michelle rodriguez could kill her.. but alas it wasnt meant to be
Alex says:
she was only there for Machete to fulfill his advertised role of him sleeping with his enemy's wife and daughter
tony says:
oh good point
Alex says:
AT THE SAME TIME!
tony says:
good point
Ivan says:
touche al!
Ivan says:
game, set, match!
tony says:
speaking of strange appearance... i'm glad eminem found a role other than 8 mile... he was great in this film
Ivan says:
me too!
Ivan says:
and he was a ginger!
tony says:
i thought he was on tour with his new album but im glad he played the adopted son of mexican rebellions
Ivan says:
way to represent, marshal. kudos to you
Alex says:
they even went back in time to get him to reprise this role, from his youth!
tony says:
hahahahaha
Ivan says:
and he even went uncredited
Ivan says:
how many big-shots do that these days?
Ivan says:
that was a gutsy move
Ivan says:
all heart
tony says:
hahahahah! no but seriously.. that guy looked exactly like eminem.. if you watched this movie you should know exactly who im talking about
tony says:
you know why you're awesome ivan.. cause you mentioned all these huge stars
tony says:
but you didnt say de niro
tony says:
and i woulda left him out too.. so lets not even talk about him
Ivan says:
he wasn't even on my mind. that's what I think of him!
Ivan says:
done and done
tony says:
so overall a fun movie
tony says:
agreed guys?
Ivan says:
very fun movie
Alex says:
it was, but I still prefer pirahna
Ivan says:
much more than Piranhas, but that's just me
Ivan says:
I understand Al, not enough full frontal in Machete
Ivan says:
maybe the sequel will deliver the goods, you so highly covet
tony says:
im surprised al.. only because you face when you saw the alba scene could have been used to sell any product in advertisement
Alex says:
machete macheeeetteee maaacheeeteeee
tony says:
one more thing i wanted to talk about
tony says:
cell phone usage
tony says:
there was a funny scene of trejo texting with his cell..
tony says:
that is all
tony says:
7/10 for me.. fun. seagal was so great.. and i heart michelle rodriguez
Ivan says:
Go watch the movie!
Alex says:
I too shower with such determination and perplexity
Ivan says:
but only if you're 18A
Ivan says:
7 for me as well
Ivan says:
LOL Al
Alex says:
6.5/10 for me
Ivan says:
Perplexity
tony says:
wow i'm surprised al.. and a little proud of you too
Ivan says:
this is how I picture al perplexed in the shower "conditioner or shampoo first?"
tony says:
HAHAHAHAHAHA
tony says:
stop looking at me swan!
Alex says:
conditioner is bettaaa
Ivan says:
you guys rule!
tony says:
oh one more thing!
tony says:
michelle rodriguez is also a shaman who dabbles in the black arts..
