Rise of the Dinosaurs (2013)

Out of the Crator

[4/10 · 23 January 2019]

Despite having a crazy guy whose trying way to hard, and goes by two different names, I can still choose my favorite part and it's the fool that brought a paintball gun to a "blank bullets" fight.

Space Werewolf (2012)

worthy for festival and not to bad of soundtrack

[6/10 · 5 October 2015]

An example of a poorly made and bad acting werewolf movie that can still create a following. Yeah this movie might not get seen on bigger stages or get as well known as the other werewolf movies, but the quality of the soundtrack alone I believe is what makes this movie standout. After having watched the entirety of the short I can see why it is that this movie won a couple of Film Festival Awards. It proves that it is enough to just have an idea no matter how laughable and a movie camera and still create a success of a movie. Yes I did imply that this movie is laughable it was, however, kept memorable and in good taste. Like I said earlier the soundtrack is great and though the rest of the movie is done in college film project style it still paints a picture in your mind to stay.

The Specials (2000)

Definitely what to expect from a Rob Lowe Superhero

[4/10 · 12 May 2015]

If you have watched "Superhero Movie" and "The Specials" side by side, "Superhero Movie" would look like a blockbuster movie. Did I like this yes, why would I admit this but give it such a low rating? Because I respect James Gunn and for the fact that the movie also introduces in her most earliest of roles; one of my more favorite actresses, Melissa Joan Heart. James Gunn gave us a purposely bad movie to show us how not to do a superhero movie, such as not getting Rob Lowe, but it might as well of been Kevin Smith directing the movie. It was funny it is and was meant to be. At the same time it slaps writers in the time period in the face. Had it been a little more serious than it was we could have probably had the superhero craze at least 5 years earlier and may of had a better script for such movies like "Daredevil", the first "X- Men" and "Superman Returns" just to list a few. But the movies' existence may have stopped some writers in writing these better scripts for fear of "This is what the masses will expect." We may never know but its just my theory. Any way if you want a semi funny farce superhero movie then this is the movie for you if you want serious funny then watch "Superhero Movie".

Daredevil (2015–2018)

A new perspective for a blind hero

[10/10 · 23 April 2015]

This new series for Daredevil finally depicts the side we never saw before without the need of reading a comic book to understand the reference. I have said before in my review of the cinematic 2003 movie of "Daredevil" that it should be based on bad directing not bad acting why the movie bombed, but is so not the case with the netflix series "Daredevil". I show no shame in rating this series a 10 out of 10. Marvel finally gives us the "why, and the how"; Matt Murdok is the lawyer that he is. And the subtle backdrop hints of other Marvel characters are even more ear candy for new prospective fans of "Daredevil"

Daredevil (2003)

A movie that proves people care more for acting than directing

[9/10 · 30 July 2014]

This movie has my respect for three reasons: 1. Ben Affleck does fit the part for both Daredevil and Matt Murdock. 2. The concept is very much around justice for the common man. 3. Stan Lee has confirmed on a couple interviews that directing was poor and not the acting.

I have had many conversations about this movie with many different people fanboys, average movie goers and movie lovers. All do agree that after watching the director's cut they have a whole new outlook on the movie. Before passing judgment; and especially for a Sam Raimi movie give all versions of and a look in between the lines of the movie a try first.
