Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance VIDEO REVIEW

Hello! So I made a video review.

This is my first time making a video review, and it was more difficult than I thought it would be, also, english is not my native language so that's why I sound so funny and I have a weird pronunciation.

This review was unscripted, it was made kind of quick and dirty, so forgive me if it sounds like I'm just all over the place, also I'm sorry for the quality of the video, I don't own an HD camera and my computer compressed the video very weirdly.

That being said, I really wanted to make something like this for a while now, and when I watched this movie I just had to say something about it.

Hope you'll enjoy the video.

I Saw the Devil

This movie was... interesting.

I don't know if it was because I watched it dubbed in English rather than the original Korean, but, I didn't really liked it very much.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it is a BAD MOVIE, it is very good actually, the photography is great, the effects are very (for lack of a better word) real, the story was great, and the acting was top notch.

However, the lack of music in some scenes kinda made the film seem slow at times, and again it might be the translation or the bad voice over, but the dialog didn't seem to work very well for me. There are a couple lines here and there that are very good, but generally speaking, nah.

If you have a couple hours to kill, and you like gorey foreign horror thrillers, be sure to check this one out.

P.S. I've heard this movie was re-cut for its theatrical release in Korea, and I am not sure if I saw the original cut or the theatrical cut, but it was still very violent.

Mystery Men

I finally got to watch this movie!

Since I knew about the existence of this film I wanted to watch it, but then, no one would go with me, and people would not be interested in it, and it only was for a week on the cinema I think, and when I wanted to rent it, my sister will always say "it looks crappy" and we would not rent it, BUT I finally got to watch it!

And it was... pretty good, actually, I mean it wasn't like the best movie I've ever seen or anything, but it was good.

The cast is great and I think it encapsulates the 90s very well, Janeane Garofalo, Ben Stiller, Paul "Pee Wee" Reubens! Hank Azaria, Kel from Kenan & Kel, Greg Kinnear (who I will always refer to as Helen Huntz), Eddie Izzard and some other guys.

The movie has its very funny moments, those moments that just move the story forward, the obvious plot twists you would expect, and one unexpected thing that works very well.

If you like goofy superhero movies and comedians who were big on the 90s, be sure to check this shit out.

P.S. There are some interesting cameos here, Michael Bay, Cee Lo, Dane Cook, and so on. I DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE GOOD, but there are cameos.

Rambo

Holy shit is this movie violent and awesome! It has some extra points because of the lovely Julie Benz, Sly is a fan of Dexter so he wanted to work with her.

I liked this gore fest very much. This sequel really cranked up the gore factor to 11, and yes, there are some upsetting scenes of children and innocent people getting butchered and burned alive and stuff but, the final payoff from John J. MOTHERFUCKING Rambo killing every single soldier in sight is pretty damn amazing.

Sly himself directed this thing, and I think it shows.
If you haven't seen this little blood diamond of a movie, be sure to check it out.

P.S. It is pretty interesting to think about this film as the only Rambo movie where he keeps his shirt on at all times, he never gets captured and there's not an helicopter involved.

Jackie Brown

Finally I watched this movie and holy fuck is it fucking awesome!

I wasn't expecting that really, I mean Tarantino makes really good movies, but this one is definitely underrated, the pacing, the photography, the dialog, the timeline, fucking everything in this movie works! The soundtrack is genius as always.

Sid Haig is briefly in this, that guy just hangs out with the right crowd, he's awesome, so awesome that one name on the tenant list for Melanie's apartment building is "S. Haig".

If you haven't seen this little jewel, be sure to check it out, bet you'll fall for Jackie too. Pam Grier is just all around bad ass.



P.S. Sylvester 'Sly" Stallone originally wanted to play Louis, while John Travolta was the first choice to play Ray Nicollete. When Robert De Niro first got a hold of the script he wanted to play the role of Max Cherry. Tarantino wanted to work with De Niro but had his heart set on Robert Forster as Cherry, so he gave the role of Louis to De Niro. Poor Sly.

Drive

Hurm... this movie.. I don't know about this movie, it was very quiet a lot of times, the loud then more quietness. The photography was very good, but I didn't buy the whole 'Ryan Gosling is a badass', the dialog was kinda meh and I was sitting there just waiting for Christina Hendricks to pop out, she was there just for like 5 minutes.

This doesn't mean it's a bad movie, but it certainly wasn't for me. Ron Pearlman is awesome as always, he's the real badass. I don't know maybe I was expecting more from this film.




P.S. I've heard that this film was initially for Hugh Jackman to be the driving dude, but got replaced by this other dude, and honestly, you could put almost any other guy in that role, and throw on the 'Vegas granny' jacket, and would still not look badass.

First Blood

This movie is just great, the pacing is great, it's beautifully shot, the story is quite engaging, and it's all around genius.

It always gets me, the way John J. Rambo is just minding his own business and the town sheriff goes on just being an asshole, it's the ultimate 'fuck da police' movie.

Also I think it's a great way to deal with the stress of being a veteran and trying to adjust back at the 'normal' life. How he has to bow down to authority just because of the smelly uniform.

Also, the final speech always brings tears to my eyes, yes, tears. Sounds weird but it really hits me in the heart.



P.S. The large piece of rotten canvas that Rambo finds in the woods and cuts into a shitty coat, was in fact a real piece of rotten canvas found by the film crew during the movie's production. Since there was only one piece, Sly joked about how the canvas became a treasure on the set. After filming ended, Stallone kept the rotten canvas and still has it to this very day.

Long before Stallone was hired to play Rambo, other actors were being considered for the role such as Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Nick Nolte, John Travolta, Dustin Hoffman, James Garner, Kris Kristofferson and Michael Douglas.

Also, I've always loved the cheesy exploitation-like narration of the trailer.
