These Girls

☞ Trailer

Well yes this is another movie with David Boreanaz in it that I watched right after the previous one I reviewed Mr. Fix It. You may wonder how much of him someone can handle in one day and I'll just say I'm watching Bones now so I still want more of him.

The first five minutes or so really deterred me from wanting to keep watching, but I somehow got through it. I did like the one scene where all David was 'wearing' was a picture. The characters in this movie are all portrayed as complete jerks which also makes you want to stop watching. The guys are all seen as ignorant  and exaggerated versions of the teenage boys we girls are warned about and the girls are all stupid and spend their time trying to be rebellious and act cool.

I'd say the acting is really the only plus in These Girls. Even though they had to portray obnoxious characters, the actors did a good job at it.

I give it: 5/10

Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone

Evangelion is based off of an anime/manga of the same name; well it's technically called Neon Genesis Evangelion, but there are so many spin-offs of it that it's ridiculous. It's one of those classics that pretty much everyone has heard of but maybe not seen. I normally hate mecha (especially reading it) because it's so hard to tell which giant machine is which. In the drawing medium they all seem to look the same and get me confused. But this movie is pretty much one version of the manga adapted into movie style. So I had high expectations for it because I loved the manga.

The entire time I sat through the movie, I waited for something to happen. I just kept on waiting for it to suddenly become awesome as the manga had. And honestly it never really did. The only plot I could somewhat make out was "oh no there's an Angel let's fight it". Oh and the subplot parts that make it like a soap opera. It was the ending of the movie that got me. Well not the literal ending, but the part after the huge overly-dramatic fight scene where Shinji goes and gets Rei out of the Eva. And it only "got me" in the way that it's so sad but yet happy at the same time. Anyways I'd probably only recommend this to crazy Evangelion fans so that's probably not you.

I give it: 5/10

Æon Flux

This movie is based off of an animated series of the same name that was made quite a few years ago. The movie was done in 2005 and it's an adaptation of the series.

The plot is generic: A virus kills 99% of the population and all of them live in one city. They're all under the control of the government called Goodchild. The civilization is kind of like Nazi Germany I guess because people disappear all the time and nobody dares say anything about it. Civilians also turn other people in for being in a rebel group and the people who are in the group are called Monicans. The title character Aeon is part of this rebel group and the movie is about her role in trying to undermine Goodchild.

Highlight of the film? Girl with hands as feet. There's also some pretty nifty technology they use seeing as the movie is set in 2415. The fight scenes are pretty much all to look forward to because they are pretty cool. The story isn't very good though.

Clearly people didn't like the movie much. It cost more to make the movie than they earned back from it. Plus it has pretty bad reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. I'm much too nice with these reviews.

I give it: 5/10

I Know What You Did Last Summer

This is an older movie (1997) and it's a horror. I don't get too scared at these types of movies, I only don't like when they all of a sudden get loud when something pops out at the characters. There are so many movies like this one that it's pretty ridiculous. But this was one of the first that started the type of scary movies we have today. I wanted to watch it because it's a 90's movie. Reason enough for me.

I think I'll start just putting the trailers on here for the plot synopsis unless I actually want to take the effort to do a little summary because I'm not very good at summarizing things.

Generic plot right? The usual horror film. Except this one has almost no twists at all and the few it does have are lame things that hardly even affect the plot. If you want to make the audience surprised make it something interesting. Lots of screaming and death which I guess is the point of these types of movies, but I enjoy a good plot. There are a lot of well-known actors/actresses in the movie like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr, and Ryan Phillippe. No complaints about the acting, but the script didn't impress me at all.

I give it: 5/10

Tosh.O

This is yet another "here watch an internet video so I can try to make funny comments about it" show. It's not that it isn't funny, but how hard can it really be to base everything off of videos you show? Just like RayWilliamJohnson on YouTube, but he doesn't get paid for it and isn't on an actual network. The "here's a clip -insert 'funny' comment here-" shows just annoy me. Maybe it's just me who thinks it doesn't take any kind of talent at all to stand there and comment on videos.

Whatever parts of Tosh.O you do remember are the videos that you go to look up after the show. His comments aren't nearly as funny as the clips he shows. One segment of the show is "Web Redemption" in which he gets someone who made a fool of themselves and put the video on the internet and he brings them there to make fun of them. This is just annoying. As if they haven't had enough people making fun of them because of something that got caught on video, now national television gets to see them even more humiliated. Then there's how he uses half the show to make fun of certain races and/or genders for stupid stereotypes that are way overused in the first place. I know there was some other show exactly like this on Comedy Central before (at least I think it was Comedy Central) and I don't know what happened to it. Maybe it horribly failed just like I expect Tosh.O to in the pretty near future. Personally I'd rather watch RayWilliamJohnson because it's easier to find the videos after you watch his video. Even though both Tosh and Johnson annoy me, I would only watch them to find funny videos.

I give it: 5/10
