Tron: Legacy (2010)

fetchblog — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 19:51:45 +0000

Even though Tron came out before I was born, I still learned to appreciate its amazing futuristic feel. Jeff Bridges jumped to the top of my favorite actors list when I watched that movie over 10 years ago. I think that movie actually revolutionized movies more than people think. With Disney backing them up, it almost had a “this could happen” kind of feel to it. Going into another dimension essentially and playing games for the rest of your life. As a young adult you can only dream of such things. With this movie, that dream becomes reality in a way. The sequel is no different. There is a plethora of action but the violence is toned down considerable for our generation. I still felt like that reality could be possible when watching this film. This film is basically the same as the old film just continued. The Graphics are pretty hardcore in this film so if you like “dem graphix” then you will love this film. I just wonder if there will be a future for this series in the coming years. Let’s all hope so.

Limitless (2011)

fetchblog — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 17:36:20 +0000

This is definitely one of those new movies that you really need to go an see in person. You almost must see this in theaters before you go and watch it on the internet. With Hollywood making all the remakes of older movies these days, its really nice to see something that is a completely new idea being thrown out there into movies. One of the downsides to this movie is that it seems a little far fetched at times. I mean seriously…the ability to use 100% of our brain. It seems to me this is more Fi than Sci.This movie will definitely captivate your mind with various thoughts and feelings. IF this movie were actually possible, I think mankind would eventually destroy itself. It doesn’t seem like it would be very smart to put that much power into anyone or anything.

Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

fetchblog — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 15:36:22 +0000

Unlike Limitless, this movie has been done before. Think Independence Day meets the newest Terminator movie. In fact, I would not be surprised if this movie was originally fitted to be a Terminator movie and all of the sudden was changed at the last second. That being said, this movie had a lot of action, a lot of moments where you felt like you were with the soldiers fighting off the aliens, and not any romance at all (my kind of movie). If you enjoyed Aaron Eckhart in Thank You For Smoking then you will absolutely love him in this new movie. He takes charge even though his past is somehow tainted and his reputation is unsavory to say the least. If you want the perfect situation for viewing this movie, then I suggest you go see it in theaters while you can. This movie is def worth seeing in the movie theaters. I would actually almost say you should try an IMAX if you guys have one near you. The point is, that while this movie has a lot of action and a high coolness factor to it, its totally been done before. If you are like me this should come at no surprise to you but at the same time…its still kind of lame. Think of something new guys. Paul…now that was a unique idea…Old school Mork and Mindy style.

Unstoppable (2010)

fetchblog — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 23:42:05 +0000

You know how we love our “based on true story” movies here on Fetchblog and I have a really good one for you. I grew up watching train shows and was everything about trains when I was younger. Unstoppable is a movie about a runaway train. While this does not happen as much anymore, this was just as much a freak occurrence as anything else. It started with a guy on the lowest of low totem poles being lazy and soon became a nationwide scare that could have potentially killed thousands of people. It really goes to show how important everyone is in a company in order for it to run properly and also how dangerous working in the train industry can be. There is a lot of responsibility involved with these massive means of transportation. While this movie is a bit “Hollywood”, I would have to also say its pretty baller!!! I have already pre-ordered it on DVD because I really enjoyed it that much. If you still have a chance to see this in theater, you really should!

Release Date: November 12, 2010

Faster (2010)

fetchblog — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 20:53:06 +0000

If you have seen “The Rock” movies before then you pretty much know how this one is going to go. While its action packed full of violence and disregard for all logic…the plot does seem a bit familiar. I suppose that is where all of Hollywood is going for the future. Basically what happens is Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) plays this guy who gets invited to be apart of a robbery team by his brother. Anyways, they end up getting betrayed and they both are murdered by several men but The Rock lives. He is the prosecuted for his crime of being the getaway drive in the bank robbery. He prearranges everything to get the people back that he knows were involved while in prison and serves his sentence. The second he gets out he goes on a calculated killing spree avenging his brothers murder. The story is fast paced with lots of non-stop action and some pretty decent looking girls.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse breaks midnight record!

fetchblog — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 13:22:44 +0000

For all those Twi-Hards out there, I have some amazing news and some not so amazing news for you. I always start out with the good news because I always wait to gauge how you feel when I slap you in the face with the bad stuff. The great news for you guys is that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse broke the midnight opening record when it made over $30,000,000 at over 4,000 theaters. The sad news is that not only did the movie recieve only 51% rating on RottenTomatoes, but it only got a 3.2 on IMDB. While this may not have affected opening weekend numbers, I have a feeling that this movie will not continue to gross that much money. I personally have no interest in seeing it although my girlfriend has said that its an amazing movie. The bad reviews are flowing through in spite of the increasingly high numbers:

This is just a sample of the reviews that Eclipse has been getting. Hopefully you can get past the obvious little girl themed romance and enjoy a half decent vampire movie (although I wish there was more action).

Gamer (2009)

fetchblog — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:08:29 +0000

Another movie that I got excited about when it came out. I went and saw it in theaters and I have to admit that it was worth the money. If you can, I recommend you see this in theaters if you get a chance before you download it or buy the DVD. That being said, this movie didnt exactly recieve love on the internet from those who reviewed it. With just 30 percent approval rating on RottonTomatoes, I guess you could say that the overwhelming consensus is that the movie was a bust.

Surrogates (2009)

fetchblog — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:41:17 +0000

I have to admit that when I first heard this was coming out, I was more excited than I have been about most movies this year. It takes place in the future when the world is a totally different place. People have become dependent on machines. Humans are able to live their lives through a robot. While they lay in a chair, their robot (surrogate which is make to their liking) lives their life but fully controlled by the human. To me, it seems like the writers wanted to show everyone what life could be life if we keep spending all our time online. Anyways so surrogates end up getting murdered in the movie but the catch is that their users are dying also. Bruce Willis uses his surrogate for a while and then has to do it all by himself. Dealing with memories of the past, he sets out to conquer his fears and stop a murder. Its not exactly a chick flick but if you enjoyed I, Robot you will certainly enjoy this movie.
