Film #155: Team America (2004)

Directed by: Trey Parker
Starring: Puppets
America always seems like a massive asshole. They see a small country in a bit of a scuffle and, like the giant wangs they are, jump into the fray, destroy everything and then leave when the going gets tough while the poor country has to clean up all the destruction. To this day I bet they still believe that Vietnam was a "Good Job!"
Anyway, Team America is a parody of that; a group of assholes trying to save a world, that doesn't need their help, from the clutches of Kim Jong-Il and the Film Actors Association.
There are loads of hilarious scenes, especially with the marionette portrayal of some actors like Samuel L Jackson and Matt Damon.

Oh, and you know what's more awkward than watching a movie with a sex scene in it with your parents? Watching a movie with puppets having sex in it with your parents.

Film #154: Karate Kid Part II (1986)

Directed by: John G. Avildsen
Starring: Daniel and Mr Miyagi
Leaving the whole 'Wax-On, Wax-Off' thing behind, this sequel begins where the other finished. This time Miyagi's old enemy shows up and his students try to kick some ass but, using Miyagi's training, Daniel beats them easily.
I enjoyed this film slightly more than the original.

Film #153: Love Actually (2003)

Directed by: Richard Curtis
Starring: Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Rowan Atkinson, Kiera Knightley and many more
This film's about a load of different tales of love, focusing on quite a few people. After a while, they all begin to link together and finally, everyone finds their real love when it reaches Christmas (end of the film).
I really like the way this film is shot, it must be hard to introduce loads of characters, build up their stories, make you fond of them and then bring them together all in a short space of time.
I like this film quite a lot and, even though it wasn't Christmas when I watched it, it's nice to watch throughout the year.

There are loads of funny scenes, learning his real name is one of them.

Film #150: The Warriors (1979)

Directed by: Walter Hill
Starring: The Warriors
Woot! Made it to 150! (I am up to date on films, just not on reviews).
Anyway, The Warriors is about the titular gang who are accused of killing a peace-keeper. They now have to somehow find a way back to their home whilst being chased by all gangs out to get them.
It's a really cool film, the different gangs are fun to see and its great to watch some nice, violent action scenes for once.
This film is a cult classic now and one of the best lines ever is: "Waaaariors! Come out to Play-Ay!"

Some guy goes crazy and askes a randomer to marry him. She accepts and they get married. The End.
There are some funny parts in a few scenes but nothing spectacular unless you really really want to see Jason Biggs all greased up and in a cupid costume.

Film #148: Evan Almighty (2007)

Directed by: Tom Shadyac
Starring: Steve Carell, Morgan Freeman
Evan the newsreader has moved out of town and is now a congressman. God follows him and askes him to build an ark whilst slowly transforming him into a biblical Noah.
Nice film, not as good as the original Bruce Almighty but I still enjoyed it. Probably because I love Steve Carell.

Film #147: Sunshine (2007)

Directed by: Danny Boyle
Starring: Space men
In the future, the sun is dying so some astronauts go up there to throw a nuclear device into it to re-ignite it.
Some crazy stuff happens when they find the ship from the previous attempt and some crazy bastard freak gets into their ship to stop their plans.
Nice acting, great effects and even if the storyline is a little hard to believe, its very imaginative.

Film # 146: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Shia Labeouf
I was looking forward to watching this with some friends so I went to the cinema after an exam and watched a really great storyline fall apart in front of me.
Indy 4 picks off 19 years after the last Indy film (Last Crusade) in 1957. The Russians are blowing shit up at that time and everyone believes in aliens because of the recent Roswell activity.
The opening scenes are awesome and so are many of the scenes where we get to see Dr Henry Jones do his archelogical work, such as in Peru.
Unfortunatley, Shia Labeouf's character (I have no problem against the actor himself, just the character) brings down most of the film and the ending was just the nail in the coffin. If George Lucas wanted to mix Indy with Star Wars then he could have made an entirely new franchise, leave Indy alone to fight Nazis who want mythical objects, not outer-space paraphernalia.
I did enjoy the film, however, and it did have a funny death (as all Indy films should), it's just a shame about the ending. If they do make an Indy 5, I hope they leave aliens out of it.

Film #145: Adrift (2006)
Directed by: Hans Horn
Starring: Some rich assholes with a yacht
Some douchebags go on a yachting trip, go in the sea and some dipshit forgets to deploy the ladders, stranding them all in the ocean. They all die. I have just ruined a terrible movie for you so that you do not have to watch it, thank me.
