Step Brothers

REVIEW: Pleasantly surprised! Much better than Ferrell's last one, Semi Pro. Keeps you laughing the whole time, but if you don't like mindless, vulgar humor, you won't dig. Ferrell and Reilly make for great 13 year olds who are really 40. The most important factor is they are believable. You can actually see them still living with there parents. Many great one liners too.


Spoiler: I thought the scene where they hopped on stage, was going to crash and burn this film. Just be over the top cheesy, BUT when they busted out with Ferrell singing Andre Bocelli it was awesome. Didn't see that coming and I liked it.


Overall this wasn't as good as their past films, but entertaining enough.


RATING(of 10): 6.5


You can wait to rent this one.

New Rating System

It has been brought to my attention the 5 star rating is no good. So i am using the 10 scale like IMDB. This should leave room to better differentiate between Movies.

The Hulk

REVIEW: Not an upgrade at all from the first one. If anything Ang Lee's version was much more visually appealing. The story was good the acting was fine, but the film making is what just ruined it. Ideally you take Norton and Roth, put them in Lee's version and you have the best Hulk movie to date. Instead of a great superhero movie you have an ok action flick.... Oh well, third times a charm?



RATING(of 10): 6.5



You can wait to rent this one.

Wall-E

REVIEW: Pixar does it again. They are pumping movies out so fast over there, and they are actually good! This one is no exception. Right up there with the rest. Great story, with a good/positive message I might say. The animation is fantastic, very visually appealing. Not only will kids love it, but adults too. Honestly we as grown-ups should understand it better. Solid movie overall.



RATING(of 10): 8.5



Go see this in theaters.

Hancock

REVIEW: Ok so this movie is not great or a masterpiece, but it's a decent summer flick. Will Smith is good as usual. Plot needed some work, and the special effects were nothing to write home about. But overall it was mindless entertainment. Which sometimes is necessary. If you don't ever watch this movie, you didn't miss much.



RATING(of 10): 6.8



This one you can wait to rent.
