Tropic Thunder

What to say about Tropic Thunder...hmm....what to say. Well, let's start with this. I haven't laughed this much since I was abnormally drunk in Las Vegas with two Russian Strippers and a 20$ bill. Yeah, good times. Back to Tropic Thunder, however. This is a total parody comedy in every sense of the word, starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downing Jr., and whoever the other guys are. Ben Stiller plays Tugg Speedman, a dying action hero, while Jack Black's character derives his laughs from gross farting noises, and did I mention Robert Downing Jr. plays a 5-time academy award winning Australian actor? This movie is explosive in laughs, and will bust your gut all over the floor in a bloody but enjoyable fashion. Politically incorrect, but still entertaining. The movie's opening advertisements bring about spontaneous laughter and the kind of absurdity that i just love so much. Then they roll into an epic war battle that wreaks with funny remarks and actions. After I settled down a bit , the movie laid down it's primary plot. I had to admit, I went into the theater with high expectations, and was relieved with a not so delightful but raunchy comedy. I also have to admit, aside from the parodied comedy, and nasty comic jokes, this movie also possesses some cleverness in it's comedy. The whole movie itself IS parody. It totally taunts Hollywood, and makes fun of every aspect and detail of the film business, in addition to the decisively prima donna behavior. But even all this glamorous humor has a downside. Towards the middle, the movie's laughing pace slows down, and almost comes to a complete halt, until the climax which brings back the pounding laughter the theater shook with before.

Final Thoughts:
an outlandishly entertaining comedy, not recommending for family viewing, it certainly is fun to watch, it's witty, and has a much more developed plot than most comedies. All in all, if you can settle with a slow middle, this is a comedy not to be missed.

Blade Runner

The movie "Blade Runner" is a science fiction thriller directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford. The movie is riveting in thought and provokes a sort of sympathy for the menacing replicants. Harrison Ford is Rick Deckard, a somewhat retired blade runner. Blade Runner are a special profession who track down and "retire" (kill, murder, massacre, maim, whatever you want it to be) replicants, or slave androids who look like humans. He is hired to kill escaped replicants who have come to Earth. The movie is brilliantly written, with a slowly paced story, albeit, but an interesting plot to at least keep you attentively watching. There are many hidden meanings in Blade Runner, which sets it up to be one of the most perfect sci-fi cult film. Fans really enjoy speculating plot turns and secrets that arouse in the movie. The movie's filming is really exceptional and dark, and truly represents the "Apocalyptic" feel of the future. The movie's finale is crazily entertaining, and you couldn't help but shed a tear for the poor dying replicant. The movie leaves with an ominous feeling, like you want more, and you find yourself pathetically watching it over and over again. Blade Runner is a entertaining sci-fi film for people who like a good story rather than futuristic battles.

Final Thoughts:
Blade Runner is a movie that defies what science fiction is in terms of greatness and story. Some may call it boring, but I am engaged in it every viewing, and Blade Runner, though with not much attention from modern people, will always be remembered.

Greetings all fellow bloggers and movie enthusiasts. I have come as a savior to the movie industry, as I have brought with me the weapons of the gods and the trust of peers. I possess a power beyond anything the Emperor ever held, and I make Chuck Norris shiver. Now seriously, here is what I am really doing here. I find myself hugely attracted to film, it is a type of media entertainment I find arousing. It is a crowning achievement in human history, (that doesn't mean electricity, government, bread, and breasts don't rank up there) but I find it definitely deserves its recognition. I always enjoyed reading reviews over great and horrid movies just to see if other people felt the sort of emotional connectivity I felt to movies. I had high hopes, but the critics shattered any happiness I felt. Maybe perhaps it is the fact they make money from criticizing, but sometimes good movies warrant a decent review. They NEED to criticize to make money, to put food on the table, to put clothes on their backs, a roof over their head, (excuse my cliches), and a warm bed to crawl into after a grueling day. I understand that. But then....there are those people who think because they are on the Internet, they are all high and mighty kings. They believe that they are divine in blood, and that what they type is pure justification and fact. It is time for a wake up call. Those slimy weasels who are always saying, "I have this fancy degree, this super career". Where is the proof? They never have any. They are complete idiotic fools who don't understand the aspect of film and it's motives. Do those fools really expect us to believe "Rocky" was a corny creation of fodder for pigs? Or that Indiana Jones was never popular. This one is my favorite. "The Marx Brothers are boring". I do believe that America my be dumbing down a bit. I mean, we are like what, #23 on the most intelligent countries list or something like that? How embarrassing, especially to a country as grand as this one. Now, don't get the wrong idea here. Sure I am bashing others right now, but I myself am no deity. I am not the most smartest person in the world, nor am I even worth of being considered a serious critic by people. All I say is this, I am going to review movies because they deserve what they require to satisfy their lust as remarkable pieces of art. It is time we stopped comparing movies to books. Not ALL movies need a deep complex story, just as long as it entertains you. Since, after all, that was the whole point of movies in the first point. Sure, a bit of depth and realism would be nice, and while some movies require this as a foundation, others get along just fine with moderate amounts. I am gonna post here MY personal reviews, giving good movies good thoughts, and picking out the bad ones to be cast away into the piles of crap they belong in. I don't expect you to like me, but at least think to yourself, "What IS a good movie?". Just remember that, my friends, just remember that.

Yours truly,
The Master Hunt
