DVD: Stick it

From the writer of Bring it on, come the hilarious Stick, a story about the side of Gymnastics, or what the cover of the DVD says, Gym-nice-tics. I really liked Bring It On, the first one, I thought it was very original at the time of its release, it was very funny and i thought it had some good actors and actress who played the parts. Stick it was what I thought a great film all together. It had be laughing, most of the humor would be understood to the younger crowd much of what Stick It is aged towards, A Teenage Based. Don't get me wrong I think many others would like this film, its quirky, fun, and very entertaining.

Stick It is a story about Gymnastic and a journey of a young lady named Haley Graham( Missy Peregrym) who enters the world of gymnastics, as she meets those who really aren't fond of her for example Joanne Charis(Vanessa Lengies), and her really stricked coach Burt Vickerman( Jeff Bridges). Together Haley and her teammate show the world of Gymnastics who is the boss as they conquer the competition.

Most of the Actors or Actress are relatively new to the big screen, except the Jeff Bridges who is the most in my opinion a very underrated acting in movie today. A couple of the actresses who play aside the main character are brand new to the screen except for Vanessa Lengies who you might know from Waiting as she plays, Natasha, in the movie with Ryan Renolds. I must say she was one of my favorite character in this movie on how she really wasn't that smart and she would make idiotic come backs for example when she thought a G.E.D. had to do with Drunk Driving, I was laughing pretty hard. Overall I thought the acting in the film was quite good, everyone did a great job.

The story aspect of Stick was to me very original mostly because its not like most of the films out either on DVD or in the theaters now and later. Mostly because most of the films that come out now are stuck in being much like the other one before that. Like when I going to a movie I want to see something where I can't say what the ending is because its like all other type of films that are still in the theaters today. Stick It is all I can say is a very Original story, the Dialogue was good, the actors did a good job, the direction was great what else could you want in a film. Not that much.

The film is an entertaining, fun film I don't have really anything bad to say about this one the story really explained everything quite good the characters were widely developed, what else could you ask for. Stick It is a great family film. I think this one is a defiantly watch.

MOVIE: Jet Li's Fearless

Fearless is Jet Li last martial Arts Epic, and boy did he go out on a great note. Just like Hero, which came out in 2005, the look and feel is basically the same. Fearless is a story about a man who would note let his nation be the laughing stock of the would, while the nations from the west came into China and was destroying all the fighters that were there at the time and his journey to show his people can fight too.

Right off at the bat Fearless wastes no time at bring the action to the audience, With mere seconds you are engulfed into a brawls which is very nicely put together, As a matter of fact all the fights were really well done, well done Yuen Wo-Ping, who is if you done know one of the greatest Choreographer anyone as ever seen in the movies. His credits range from: Unleashed, Kung Fu Hustle, All three Matrix's, Revolution, and Reloaded, to Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2.

Jet Li play a man named Huo Yuanjia, who is the son of one of the great fighter in China, match after match Huo gets himself such a large following that he his know throughout the lands of Tianjin. As his popularity expands and grows so does Huo head, which later lands him in a self discovery on who he was and as he develops he create a Federation to stand up against these people from the west.

Jet Li is a great actor, but he also isn't the only great actor that is in this film there is Collin Chou, who for the most part played Seraph in Matrix's Revolutions and Reload, in those two film he had a great fight scene with Neos character. There is also Masato Harada who is a actor who played in the Last Samurai with Tom Cruse, He is also a wonderful Writer and Directer I will recommend any of his film.

Fearless is a great film overall but I do know there are many people who don't like the Subtitle part, most likely on the DVD release in America it will come with a English Audio Track inside with the original language. Even if you don't like to read Subtitles while you are watching a film I would still recommend this film to you, basically because of the action is so amazing that you'll know exactly whats happening by both the fighting styles and the actors emotion in each scene.

MOVIE: The Covenant

From the writers of the story about the battle between Vampires and Werewolves aka 'Lycans', Underworld, Covenant takes the story of Witches from the witch hunting days, and how that effects a group of relatives of the witches that were hunted.

As I watched the preview of the Covenant one time on the T.V. I was very intrigued with the action I thought it was going to be very interesting movie to watch. Boy could I be any more wrong, First off I really don't know the Witch back ground but I don't think John Putnam was a witch, I don't know maybe someone can give me some incite on this but I thought he was on accused of being a witch but never was proved in the trails, and John Putnam was a main story object that moved the story along.

Another thing I was not impressed in was that the story line was very confusing. Much like Underworld going into the film you have to know a lot about Werewolves and Vampires like what kills them/what can hurt them, but in this case you must know a lot about the Witch history from the Colonial settlements area, like Boston, Virgina around there. So like with some one like me during the film I was wondering what the hell was going on, or why were they doing this.

The fight Scenes, I was was laughing at and mad, First let me get this off my chest. If anyone knows what the men witches were throwing at each other, please tell me. Most film I would like to know what exactly was I looking at it seemed like Star Warsy like they way they could move objects and so forth. Back to my first part. The 'thing' they were throwing at was it a ball of energy, or was it their power, or what. I could have put a small description of what they were in the film.

Enough of the bad thing I can go on and on, I did think the visuals were great, I thought it was awesome when the car of the Main Character broke into a million pieces and came back together, or the hundreds of tiny killer spiders. Those were a great thing in this movie basically the only good thing.

The Acting on the other hand, was for me bad. I really don't know most of he actors or actresses from and big thing but, The bad and good guys for me just over acted, They brought too much of the same facial expressions every time they talked which good get real repetitive and ignoring.

I went to see this with a Friend, and most of the time we disagree on most films and have different view on the movie but this one we both had the same reviews of the picture, we thought it wasn't a picture we should have wasted money on, because there are some great film that are out in the theater that are much better like Little Miss Sunshine.
