Maybe Watch This: Tower Heist

Promotional Poster for Tower Heist

I think we all know what I am about to say here, I was bored and I started browsing through the On Demand offered by Comcast Cable when I ran across a bunch of awesome movies I wanted to watch. So I picked one out and that is that.

Except that is not exactly all of that. I chose Tower Heist not because of the movie, I meant the plot line was pretty obvious. Instead, I decided to watch this movie because of Ben Stiller, who I have loved since I saw Zoolander, and Eddie Murphy, who sometimes manages to be in amazing films such as Bowfinger. That is right, this is a movie I watched because I wanted to see the actors, as rare as that occurrence is. Anyway, here is my review.

Skip This: The Pirates! Band of Misfits

Another night and another long story about how I have nothing to do is what my review readers have probably come to expect of these introductions, but alas it was not this way last night. Instead, I rather had a lot of stuff that I could be doing and I chose to watch this movie. You see, I could have been playing my video games and ranking up, I could have been reading one of my new books, and I could have been watching a couple of television shows that I have fallen a little bit behind on. Instead I chose to watch this movie, for I knew that it was made by the same stop-motion folks that put together the entire Wallace and Gromit series as well the Chicken Run movie. Now while I found Chicken Run a little bit disappointing, I would still recommend that movie for young folks because of the nicely woven tale and beautiful stop motion. But I do admire and adore the creators for their Wallace and Gromit stop-motion pieces, as those were expertly done and very friendly for all ages. And with such an inspiring and big cast, how could they go wrong I thought. At any rate, here is my review for their most recent movie the Pirates! Band of Misfits.

Maybe Watch This: Total Recall (2012)

I will openly admit that this movie was not actually on my list of films I wanted to see, but that is because I consider the first film a classic story that should not be messed with. And being completely honest with myself, I know that if a director wants to remake a film, then they usually also want to change something in the plot. I do not think I have ever seen a film that was remade and simply just updated, new actors and maybe better actors, new technology to make the background, and perfection of an already outstanding script. Nope, they never want to do that because why did you make a whole new film then.

Still, my friends decided it was time to see a movie and they persuaded me to go and watch this film last night. I will say that I am happy I did go and see it with them (I love seeing movies with my friends), but with that in mind I will also say that the original movie is still better. And do not worry, I'll explain why I think the original is better in this as well, because that was the crux of my decision. Anyway, here is my review of the movie Total Recall (2012).

Total Recall [2012]

So for those that do not know, which seems to be a lot of folks in the younger generation, this is actually a remake of a movie by the same name, Total Recall (1990). That's right, a movie made just twenty-two years ago they have decided to remake with better graphics and a script that they think will hit home with the new generation. Except, to anyone that has seen the old movie this one is not even in the same playing field, let alone should carry the same name.

Play on Smartphone: Infinity Blade

I know this is a really late review end it, I know the sequel to this game is out and every possible gaming website on the planet has already beaten this game. But I lag behind because that is cost effective, especially for these single player games where it does not matter if I am up to date. And besides, none of my friends have this game on their smartphones so none of them will be able to battle me anyway.

With all of that said, I finally got around to playing this app for my iPhone and it is amazing! Just for a quick clarification, yes I used the words "got around to playing," as in I've had this sitting on my phone for the past month or so and never even touched it. I bought it on sale during the July 4th holiday and just never touched it because I had too many other things to do. With that said, here's my review.

Watch This: Miss March

I would like to note that before I begin I'm completely dropping the whole idea of rating movies and simply saying see it, don't see it, or think about it. My reasoning behind this is that if I see a review I go straight for the stars but I fail to read what the review has to offer. However, if someone told me to see a movie, I'm a bit more interested in the Why. That's my reasoning behind dropping ratings, I hope it makes sense.

So I just got through watching the movie Miss March with my Mom, which is the second time I've seen it. We both agreed this is a classic, funny, and just all-around rememberable movie. So I'm going to say it now, go out and watch Miss March if you have not seen it!

Miss March [2009]

But before I go recommending the movie, let me give a background that might help set the scene for why I like this movie so much. I think it will really help everyone understand why both of us, including my Mother, thought this movie was amazing!
