SHAZAM!

YOU ALL KNEW THIS WAS COMING... OF COURSE IM GOING TO WRITE ABOUT SHAZAM! IF YOU ALL DONT KNOW ALREADY FROM MY POSTS BACK IN THE DAY, IM A HUGE CHUCK FAN. ZACHARY LEVI WAS THAT NERDY GEEKY GUY NEXT DOOR WHO TURNED INTO THE WORLDS GREATEST SPY CAUSE BASICALLY ALL THE GOVERNMENTS SECRET AND A COMPUTER WAS DOWNLOADED INTO HIS BRAIN. ALSO HES ABLE TO DO A BUNCH OF OTHER KICK ASS THINGS. ALSO ALSO NOT TO MENTION YVONNE STRAHOVSKI WAS ON IT. WELL ADAM BALDWIN WAS ON IT TOO BUT... ANYWAYS BACK ON TOPIC. I NEVER REALLY FOLLOWED SHAZAM, BUT I DO KNOW THE JIST OF IT AND WHATEVER ELSE I DO KNOW ABOUT HIM IS FROM WHAT I SEE AROUND AND FROM SUPERMAN OR JUSTICE LEAGUE OR WHATEVER ELSE HE POPS UP IN. THIS IS AN ORIGIN MOVIE AND STARS ZACHARY LEVI, ASHER ANGEL, MARK STRONG, DJIMON HOUNSOU, AND A COUPLE OTHER KIDS AND ALL. OH OH OH JOHN GLOVER MAKES AN APPEARANCE AND HE HASNT REALLY AGED SINCE SMALLVILLE...WHICH IS WEIRD BECAUSE HES REALLY OLD AND WAS OLD ON SMALLVILLE ALREADY LOL. ANYWAYS THE STORY FOLLOWS A KID WHO THROUGH A WIZARD GAINS THE POWER TO TRANSFORM INTO A SUPERHERO, AN ADULT SUPERHERO. SO HE LITERALLY AGES LIKE 10 YEARS AND TRANSFORM INTO A SUPER BUFF HERO. THEN HE FIGHTS PEOPLE AND SO ON AND SO ON WHILE TRYING TO KEEP HIS IDENTITY A SECRET. I REMEMBER HE HAS A BUNCH OF RUN INS WITH SUPERMAN AND BATMAN AND THEY BOTH THINK HES SORTA WEIRD BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE ACTS AND TALKS, BUT MAKES SENSE IF HES ACTUALLY LIKE 15 AND NOT 25 OR WHATEVER. THERES BEEN A BUNCH OF TIMES THEY ALSO FOUGHT ALONG EACH OTHER. LIKE I SAID, I NEVER FOLLOWED IT HARD. OH FOR SOME REASON I THOUGH MARK STRONG WAS STANLEY TUCCI... NO IDEA WHY I DID... THATS JUST A SIDENOTE. THERES OTHER STUFF IN THE MOVIE THAT I WANT TO DISCUSS BUT IMA LEAVE THAT CAUSE I DONT WANT TO SPOIL IT FOR ANYONE. THERES ALSO SOME POST CREDIT SHOTS BUT MIGHT AS WELL LEAVE IT FOR YOU TO WATCH YOURSELVES AS WELL. THE ONE THING I WILL SAY IS I WONDER WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THAT SINCE MOVING FORWARD ITS NOT YOU KNOW WHAT. SOME OF YOU MIGHT GET IT AND MOST PROBABLY WILL NOT SO THATS OK. LEVI DID A GOOD JOB IN THIS MOVIE, I LIKED IT AND HE PLAYED THE CHARACTER WELL. I REMEMBER WATCHING SOME DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER INTERVIEWS AND THEY SAID THEY AUDITIONED LIKE 150 PEOPLE FOR SHAZAM AND LEVI WAS THE ONE THAT STOOD OUT AND THEY JUST KNEW IT HAD TO BE HIM. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THEM. MAYBE THEY HAVE SEEN CHUCK, MAYBE NOT, BUT LEVI JUST HAS THAT QUIRKYNESS ABOUT HIM THAT MAKES THE CHARACTER WORK. THE CHARACTER NEEDS THAT IMMATURITY TO HIM BECAUSE OF HIS AGE. ONE THING I WILL SAY IS THAT HE BULKED UP HARD! GOING FROM SKINNY TECH WORKER TO BUFF SUPERHERO WAS CRAZY. THERE IS ONE THING I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW MUCH PADDING IS THERE FOR THE COSTUME. YOU CAN TELL ITS PADDED BUT I WONDER HOW MUCH. THERES JUST NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT, ALL COSTUMES PAD, THATS HOW THEY LOOK SO CRAZY AND MORE COMPARABLE AND TRUE TO THE COMICS. I MEAN... THE ACTORS CAN ONLY GET SO BIG LOL. I ALSO WONDER WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO ACTORS TRYING TO PRETEND ITS THE SAME PERSON. ANOTHER DC MOVIE IN THE BOOKS. I LIKED THE MOVIE, ITS NOT LIKE MARVEL HOW THEY WOULD HAVE TO PUT SOME KIND OF JOKE IN AND YOU KNOW ITS COMING TOO... THIS FELT MORE GENUINE. IT TOOK SO LONG FOR THIS MOVIE TO FINALLY MAKE IT OUT, I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE IN STORE NEXT FOR THIS. OH YA AND HOW ABOUT THAT WHOLE CAPTAIN MARVEL AND MS MARVEL THING THATS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES... THAT CONFUSED ME EVEN BACK IN THE DAY. ANYWAYS, I LIKED THE MOVIE, I GIVE IT A SOLID 8.2/10.

I HAVE SO MANY REAL TOPICS TO WRITE ABOUT BUT I HAD TO WRITE THIS. ITS TOO GOOD NOT TO. THERES GOING TO BE ONE MORE MOVIE REVIEW COMING UP SOON AND IM SURE YOU ALL KNOW WHAT ITS FOR. I ALREADY HAVE TICKETS FOR IT TOO. CANT WAIT FOR THAT EPICNESS.

CAPTAIN MARVEL

IF YOU HAVENT NOTICED, THE POST QUALITY HAS SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED THE PAST FEW POSTS. HOWEVER WE NEED A BALANCE, AND YOU DIDNT REALLY THINK I WAS GOING TO TAKE AWAY MOVIE REVIEWS DID YOU? LOL. TIME TO REVIEW ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIE OF THE YEAR. ITS NOT THEEEEE MOST ANTICIPATED, SINCE WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT IS LOL. I SAY THIS BECAUSE MARVEL HAD TO PUT THIS OUT SO THEY COULD HAVE AVENGERS: ENDGAME. ITS NO SPOILER THAT EVERYONE KNOWS CAPTAIN MARVEL IS IN THE LAST AVENGER MOVIE COMING OUT NEXT MONTH, AND IF YOU ACTUALLY DIDNT KNOW THEN YOU LIVE UNDER A ROCK. ANYWAYS LETS GET STARTED. THE MOVIE STARS BRIE LARSON, SAMUEL J JACKSON, JUDE LAW, BEN MENDELSOHN, GEMMA CHAN, DJIMON HOUNSOU, LEE PACE, AND A COUPLE OF OTHERS. THIS IS STRAIGHT UP A ORIGIN MOVIE. MARVEL NEEDED TO CATCH EVERYONE UP SO THEY WOULD BE PREPARED FOR AVENGERS. THE MOVIE WAS PRETTY GOOD. WAY BETTER THAN A TON OF THE OTHER ORIGINS. THE MOVIE WAS SET IN THE MID 90S AND ITS FUN TO SEE EVERYONE THAT WE KNOW NOW, BACK THEN. THE COMPARISON IS FUNNY. THE ACTION WAS GOOD BUT COULD HAVE USED MORE, THE STORY WAS ALRIGHT, AND PARTS WERE COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE. ONCE AGAIN THEY USE A LOT OF JOKES JUST TO SIDELINE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. NOW THE QUESTION IS... WAS BRIE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR THIS MOVIE? I DO LIKE HER AS CAPTAIN MARVEL BUT AT THE SAME TIME SOMETHING ABOUT IT DOESNT REALLY SIT RIGHT WITH ME. ITS LIKE SHE DOES HAVE THE LOOK FOR IT WHEN SHES IN COSTUME AND IN THE MOVIE FIGHTING, BUT WHEN SHES JUST NORMAL OR WHEN SHES TRYING TO FIGHT AND BE BADASS, IT SEEMS A BIT OFF. I DONT WANT TO SAY TOO MUCH ABOUT THE MOVIE AND SPOIL IT FOR ANYONE, BUT I WILL TELL YOU ALL TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE MOVIE BECAUSE IT ANSWERS A LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM THE MARVEL UNIVERSE AND ALL OF THE OTHER MOVIES. THERE IS SO MUCH IN THE MOVIE THAT TIES INTO EVERYTHING ELSE AND THIS EXPLAINS IT ALL. AFTER THE MOVIE WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW IT FINALLY ANSWERED THIS AND THAT AND SO THATS WHY THIS AND THAT HAPPENED. ALSO... SO... WHATS UP WITH THE WHOLE MISS MARVEL AND CAPTAIN MARVEL... I WAS NEVER BIG INTO THIS SERIES BUT WHY DID THEY CHANGE IT TO GO ONE WAY? GUESS IT HAS TO DO WITH THE WHOLE FEMININE MOVEMENT AND EQUALITY. THEY ALSO WENT WITH THE OTHER COSTUME AS WELL. THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON BUT THEY CHOSE ONE THAT WOULD BE STRONGER FOR CULTURAL SENSES I SUPPOSE. EITHER WAY THE MOVIE WAS PRETTY GOOD. MOST DEFINITELY ENJOYED IT. I GIVE IT A 7.8-8.1/10.

TOMB RAIDER

WELL... WE HAVE ANOTHER REMAKE... NEED I SAY MORE. TOMB RAIDER THE GAME IS PRETTY COOL. I PLAYED A TOTAL OF LIKE 20 MINS IN MY LIFE LOL. WHENEVER ANYONE TALKS ABOUT A TOMB RAIDER MOVIE YOU AUTOMATICALLY THINK OF THE 2 MOVIES THAT ANGELINA JOLIE DID BACK IN THE EARLY 2000. GOOD OR BAD YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT SHE ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE TOMB RAIDER. AS IN A BIGGER STRONGER LOOKING FEMALE, WHO ALSO WEARS THOSE OUTFITS THAT IS SEEN IN THE GAME. THIS NEW TOMB RAIDER IS SOMETHING ELSE. ALICIA VIKANDER IS PHYSICALLY SMALLER AND SOFTER MORE GIRLY LOOKING. PLUS THEY MADE HER MORE MODERN THIS TIME AROUND. THE MOVIE ALSO STARS DANIEL WU, WALTON GOGGINS, DOMINIC WEST, AND HANNAH JOHN KAMEN. I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THAT IT WAS HANNAH... SHE HAD A REALLY SMALL ROLE THAT WAS PROBABLY 2 MINS TOTAL... SAME THING WITH DANIEL... HE HAD A BIGGER ROLE BUT THEY SEEM TO HAVE JUST USED HIM TO DO SOMETHING AND THEN HE JUST CHILLED OUT AFTER. WHAT A WASTE. THE MOVIE ITSELF SEEMED SHORT, EVERYTHING WAS RUSHED, AND I DIDNT FEEL LIKE I GOT ENOUGH OUT OF IT. IM NOT SATISFIED I GUESS LOL. THIS WAS A TOTAL ORIGIN MOVIE SO THEY HAD TO DO ALL THAT STUFF. EITHER THEY MADE HER CHARACTER WEAK OR SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE WEAK. I GUESS THAT WHAT THE POINT IS, THAT SHE IS STILL LEARNING TO BECOME STRONG LIKE SHE IS IN THE GAME AND OTHER MOVIES. I DIDNT REALLY BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS THAT SMART... THE WAY THEY MADE THE CHARACTER MAKES YOU QUESTION IT... ESPECIALLY WHEN SHES SOLVING PROBLEMS THAT QUICK ON THE SPOT, ITS NOT REALLY BELIEVABLE. ITS JUST THE WAY SHE ACTS AND THE WAY THE MADE HER. THEY REALLY DID REMAKE THE MOVIE... SINCE BOTH THE OLD AND THE NEW WENT TO HONG KONG LOL. I FORGOT WHAT HAPPENED BUT THERE WERE SOME MOMENTS THAT WERE TOTALLY FAKE AND UNBELIEVABLE. THEY COULD HAVE TOTALLY DONE IT ANOTHER WAY OR SOMETHING. IT WAS ONE OF THOSE REALLY... YOURE REALLY DOING THAT... MOMENTS. ALL OF THE TOMB RAIDER MOVIES ARE PREDICTABLE AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN. EVEN FOR THIS NEW ONE THE END END IS PREDICTABLE. THE WAY THEY SET IT UP LEAVES IT OPEN FOR SEQUELS, BUT I DONT THINK THERE WILL BE ONE. EITHER WAY... I GIVE THIS A 7/10. ITS ACTION, BUT NEEDED MORE EVERYTHING. ITS AN ORIGIN MOVIE AND A GROWTH MOVIE SO YOU CA BLAME A LOT OF IT ON THAT.

ONE THING I WANT TO SAY IS ALL THE TOMB RAIDER MOVIES AND ALL THOSE TREASURE HUNTING MOVIES, HOW MUCH OF IT DO YOU THINK IS REAL? I DONT MEAN THE ACTUAL TREASURE OR ANYTHING FROM THE MOVIES, I MEAN LIKE THAT THERES SOMETHING OUT THERE HIDDEN AWAY. WE KNOW THAT THERES HIDDEN TREASURE AND ALL, BUT WITH HIDDEN TRAPS AND RIDDLES AND CLUES AND STUFF. SORT OF LIKE NATIONAL TREASURE WITH NICOLAS CAGE. THAT KIND OF LIKE TREASURE HUNTING. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT DONT YOU THINK IT WOULD HAVE ALL BEEN FOUND THEN? BUT HOW COULD IT IF ITS ALL HIDDEN SO WELL IN THE FIRST PLACE RIGHT? OR MAYBE THE CLUE OR WHATEVER HAS BEEN LOST OR DESTROYED AND THEN BASICALLY LOST IN THE HISTORY, RIGHT? THERE HAS TO BE TREASURE OUT THERE, HOWEVER WITH THOSE BOOBY TRAPS THAT SHOOT ARROWS AT YOU, OR CRAZY COMBINATION DOOR LOCKS, AND HIDDEN PASSAGES YOU REALLY THINK EXISTS? IT WOULD BE PRETTY COOL IF IT DID BUT HOW WOULD IT HAVE BEEN CREATED SO LONG AND SO INTRICATE BACK THEN. ANYTHING LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE DETERIORATED OR SHIFTED OR BROKE OR WHO KNOWS, RIGHT, YOU GET MY POINT. ESPECIALLY SINCE TECHNOLOGY IS SO ADVANCE THESE DAYS THAT THERE NO REAL PLACE LEFT TO HIDE... RADAR AND SONAR AND SATELLITE CAN PENETRATE SO MANY PLACES AND THINGS TO SEE INTO PLACES. I FEEL LIKE ANYTHING DISCOVERED IS PURE CHANCE NOW. SAME GOES FOR ALL THOSE BAD GUYS HUNTING FOR THE TREASURE... ARE THEY REAL LOL. IF TREASURES LIKE THIS EXIST OR IF THE BAD GUYS FOUND IT ALREADY, THEY WOULD USE IT FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES. IF THERE WAS CURE FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS FOUND, THEY WOULDNT USE IT SINCE IT WOULD MAKE THEM MORE MONEY TO TREAT IT THAN CURING IT. YOU KNOW WHAT... IM GOING TO BECOME A TREASURE HUNTER NOW! LETS DO IT. WHO WANTS TO JOIN ME? LETS GO LOL.

ONE MORE FOR THE HELL OF IT

SEEMS LIKE IVE JUST BEEN DOING REVIEWS LATELY... THEN AGAIN ITS CAUSE IVE BEEN WATCHING MORE SHOWS AND MOVIES. PLUS ITS MUCH EASIER TO WRITE THAN AN ACTUAL TOPIC BECAUSE IM LAZY AND TIRED RIGHT NOW LOL. I REALLY NEED TO GET THE CHANNEL GOING SO I CAN JUST RECORD IT INSTEAD OF WRITING ALL THIS... ANYWAYS... SO FINALLY SAW DEADPOOL :) AND YES IT WAS GOOD. BESIDES IT BEING FILMED HERE IN MY HOMETOWN ITS ACTUALLY FUNNY AND KEEPS TO A LOT OF WHO THE CHARACTER REALLY IS. RYAN REYNOLDS DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB. ACTING WAS GOOD, THE WALL BREAKS WERE FUNNY, ACTION CANT COMPLAIN. ITS A GOOD INTRO MOVIE TO THE CHARACTER AND THERE REALLY IS NOT MUCH BACK STORY NEEDED. SINCE THIS IS AN ORIGIN MOVIE IT DOESNT EVEN MATTER IF YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF DEADPOOL. I HAVE READ SOME OF THE STUFF BEFORE IN THE PAST BUT NOT MUCH AND MOST OF IT WAS IN RELATION TO WOLVERINE AND X-MEN AND SOME RANDOM STUFF AS WELL. THE VILLIAN ED (AJAX) COULD HAVE BEEN MORE EVIL I WOULD SAY. GINA CARANO SEEMED LIKE THEY JUST PUT HER IN THERE TO LOOK BIG AND BAD ASS THATS ALL. COLOSSUS WAS WAY WAY WAYYYYYYYY BIGGER THAN IN ANY OF THE MOVIES HES BEEN IN SO FAR... X-MEN MOVIES HE WAS A BIGGER REG DUDE BUT IN THIS HE WAS HUGE!!! BRIANNA HILDEBRAND PLAYS THE X-GIRL AND SO EMO AND LIMITED FACE TIME. ALSO YA... THERE WERE NO KIDS IN THE MANSION WHICH MAKES NO SENSE AND HAVING THOSE 2 IN THE MOVIE SEEM A BIT OFF. COULD HAVE USED A CAMEO BY WOLVY AS WELL HAHA. THE BIGGEST SURPRISE IS MORENA BACCARIN GETTING SO MUCH SCREEN TIME AND PLAYED SUCH A BIG PART IN THE MOVIE. WELL GOOD FOR HER, I WATCHED HER ON STARGATE AND ON PART OF "V" BEFORE I QUIT WATCHING IT... I SHOULD FINISH THAT SHOW SINCE LAURA VANDERVOORT IS ON IT TOO HAHA. ANYWAYS... THERES NO COMPAINTS ON THE CG. I THINK THE MOVIE COULD HAVE DONE WITH LESS LOVELY DOVEY STUFF AND HAD MORE DEPTH FOR IT. THE DOPINDER BITS WAS A NICE ADD. SPOTTED STAN LEE AS PER THE USUAL CAMEOS. HOPE YOU ALL STAYED TO THE END SINCE IT IS A MARVEL MOVIE THERES BONUS CLIPS. I USUALLY STAY TIL THE END EITHER WAY TO BEGIN WITH BUT WITH EXTRA BITS EVEN BETTER. EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW AND WHEN HALF OF THE THEATRE DOESNT LEAVE AND IS JUST SITTING THERE YOU WOULD THINK YOU GET THE HINT THAT SOMETHING IS UP EH... BUT BY THE END THERE WERE ONLY ABOUT 25 MAYBE 30 PEOPLE WHO STAYED BEHIND TO WATCH IT. SPOILERRRRRRR CABLE IS GOING TO BE IN THE SEQUEL LOL. THATS GOING TO BE INSANE. OF COURSE SINCE THIS IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST GROSSING OPENING WEEKEND MOVIES, AND HIGHEST GROSSING R-RATED COMIC MOVIE AND SOON TO BE HIGHEST RATED R MOVIE. THERES ALSO A BUNCH OF RECORDS THAT ITS GOING TO BEAT IM JUST TOO LAZY TO ACTUALLY LOOK IT UP HAHA. THIS MOVIE DOESNT JUST TAILOR TO ONE TYPE OF AUDIENCE, IT SPANS ALL AUDIENCES AND THATS WHY IT WILL KEEP DOING WELL. I GIVE THIS MOVIE A SOLID... 8.93/10 :) YES LIKE I SAID BEFORE MY SYSTEM OF RATING IS AMAZING HAHA. MOST DEFINITELY WORTH WATCHING IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY WATCHED IT.

AND THE USUAL... WORK IS THIS WEEK IS CRAZY BUSY... I KNEW THIS WEEK WAS GOING TO BE BAD SINCE I HAVE A BUNCH OF MEETINGS AND THEN I FORGOT MY COWORKER IS ON VACA SOOOO COVERING FOR THEM AS WELL... COME IN ON MONDAY AND JUST LOOKED AT MY EMAIL BOX EXPLODED AND IM THINKING WTF HAPPENED... MY EMAILS ARE LOST IN THE SEA OF EMAILS AND AT 1 POINT I REALLY DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING ANYMORE... BEFORE I WAS EVEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING MY PHONE WAS RINGING OFF THE HOOK AND I WAS MAKING CALLS. THIS IS JUST THE INDUSTRY THAT IM IN, THERE IS NO REST AND THINGS WILL KEEP ON HAPPENING WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. NOTHING WILL WAIT FOR YOU IN THIS LINE OF WORK. THEN ON TOP OF MY OWN WORK I HAD TO DO THERES WHATEVER ELSE IM DOING LOL. STILL RECOVERING AND JUST HANGING AROUND. NOT MUCH BUT HEY CANT COMPLAIN RIGHT? HAHA. STILL GRINDING AWAY GETTING TO WHERE I WANT TO GO. JUST KEEP ON KEEPING ON LOL. OH AND BLINDSPOT IS BACK!!! OMG AHHHHHH
