Running High

Personal issues made it impossible for me to review 10,000,000 BC, the latest Asylum disaster. In fact I think it's a bit of a blessing. I'm not going to discuss what happened, it's rather annoying so lets just get right to...

Harold and Kumar
Escape from Guantanamo Bay

Harold and Kumar opened with $14,908,404 and went on to make $38,108,728 National and $40,444,986

Harold and Kumar, fresh from their recent adventure to White Castle decide to go to Amsterdam, though confusion over a Bong gets them labeled as terrorists and sent to Guantanamo Bay... They must escape and evade authorities as they try to clear their names.

I remember when the first Harold and Kumar movie came out, I thought the movie would be solly and stupid and was adverse to watching it. But then I sat down one day and watched it. I laughed and I chuckled, but passed it off. With each time I watched it I started to enjoy iy more, the movie truley grew on me...

This movie oes not dissapoint. Fans of the first will adore this one as each new turn brings loads of laugh. Once again both actors give a brilliant preformance with the classic comedy duo and every scene with Neil Patrick Harris is a laugh riot.

The movie is simply put wonderful, and I suggest it to fans of the first installment, and any fan of whacky adventure comedies... I'm actually pleased to hear that there will be a third movie.

Pick up Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo bay on July 29th.
world wide.

Lost

Okay here we go, I said I was gonna try and keep this going and I have my first of a three movie line up, expect more tomorrow. But for now?

Lost Boys: The Tribe

Lost Boys: The Tribe is a direct to DVD movie that has yet to be released, and therefore does not have any numbers.

Chris Emerson and his sister are down on their luck, and must move into their Aunt's spare house... When at a party, Chris' sister is turned by a vampire... Chris must then enlist the help of Edgar Frog to save her.

This is a movie that teeters on the edge, the original Lost Boys was a cult classic and has droves of fans that will surely tear this movie apart if it strays too far from what the original flick was. I must say myself that it's not a horrible movie.

Granted that this is not saying it is a good one either. It is simply bland, a retread of the original story. It does nothing to add to the story, or make you want to add it to your collection. The best part of this movie would have to be Corey Feldman as Edgar Frog...

But do note, see how in the art Edgar is in the far background? It is that way in the movie as well. Aside from the climax he has but three scenes throughout, and there are NO scenes featuring his brother... They were all cut.

The movie has peaked my interest with the short, after the credits roll, return of Corey Haime and it's alternate endings. This story should be what Lost Boys II was... But instead it was simply the same movie as the first with a new cast.

In the unlikely event there is a Lost Boys III we may get the actually intriguing story that this film only alludes to, but do not hold your breath. This is a movie easily passed over, but if there is nothing else to watch (which this week may just be the case, there are so few releases) you wouldn't be wasting your time picking it up on July 29th when it is released.

Explanations

Alright so I have a bit of explaining to do don't I? Well you see, it's the summer... and thats a dead period for new DVD releases, really...it's just nothings goming out on DVD. Most of my rentals as of late have been personal choices that are simply too old to review (IE Gross Point Blank, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.)

"But Movie Geek!" You cry out, in attempts to thwart my attempts to cover my own laziness "Summer also means a new awesome Blockbuster release every week!"

I would first tell you not to be so smug, and then say yes, awesome blockbusters, they're all awesome. I sat around with WALL*E, Hellboy II, and The Dark Knight, and I wondered to myself... Do I really need to review these, is there anyone out there NOT hearing the ammount of praise these flicks are recieving? What can I say that has not been said a thousand times over?

There was Journey to the Center of the Earth, but I was so pissed I had to pay 12 bucks to see...THAT... That I did not wish to speak of it anymore.

So what does this mean for me? Well it means that the site may be... sparatically updated... And will probably not pick up till mid-fall. This does not mean I won't be TRYING... I have Harold and Kumar, the Lost Boys sequal, and another Asylum Massacre ready to be reviewed...

As soon as I get some time to WATCH them.
