Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

Posted by Jay Philips | Sunday, December 27, 2009

Warriors converge on the streets of Bangkok, preparing for the ultimate battle of terror versus beauty, light versus darkness and good versus evil.

Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2

This historical telling of the awesome Chun-Li is a must see for any Street Fighter fan. The action is good and the film makers do a good job showing her signature moves without making it seem corny or unbelievable. I concur with other reviews in stating that Chris Klein's Europol character should have been left on the cutting room floor.

The two main villains in this movie are M. Bison, portrayed by Neal McDonough, and Balrog, portrayed by Michael Clark Duncan. Let's start off with M. Bison. Neal McDonough did an excellent job portraying the the movie's main villain, a sadistic and cruel businessman who runs a crime syndicate called Shadoloo. McDonough perfectly captured Bison's cruelty and evil in this movie, and it could be clearly seen throughout many parts of this movie, be it eating dinner calmly while his business partners are hacked to pieces by his henchman Vega, or when he snaps Chun Li's father's neck without so much as a moment's hesitation. Bison is the epitome of evil in this movie, and what is perhaps most creepy is how calm and polite he is when he commits such atrocities. Too bad in this movie that he DIES, which annoyed me, as it goes against the whole plot of the Street Fighter video game storyline. Also, don't expect Bison to do any Psycho Crusher moves or Knee presses, the only person in the movie who has special moves is Chun Li (too bad). Bison fights with his bare fists and fights with moves that resemble Karate with some good old street fighting. Too bad there is no mention of Bison's Psycho-Drive or psychic power.

Quantum Of Solace - Movie Review

Posted by Jay Philips | Thursday, December 24, 2009

The new James Bond movie was a very strong in the action scenes and visual effects, so it makes the audience very hyper during the movie. The storyline was really good and it is related to the Casino Royale. Being a Bond fanatic myself, it's also quite hard not to compare this and its predecessor, Casino Royale, to the Bond of old. But one must remember, this is a fast track to the younger days of Bond, However if you are a devote older bond movie lover, then this will disappoint. There are no romance, no new gadgets, the pretty girls with cute names are missing, and the trade-mark grin of Bond doing a dirty trick on someone is missing, No gleam in his eye and not once did he say the famous line "MY NAME IS BOND JAMES BOND". James Bond normally goes his thing with intelligence, competance, wit, charm, cool gadgets, and the occasion fist fight. In this movie "James Bond" wins mainly through straight violence. This James Bond is more like any old action hero, then the smooth and cool spy we used to know and love.

So I suggest you to watch Casino Royal before this movie because it's related to the Casino Royale. With no doubt, Daniel Craig is the toughest James Bond, and his fighting skills are unique and better than others. He is very serious and does his best to finish his works well.

12 Rounds

Posted by Jay Philips | Friday, April 03, 2009

The movie itself was a good movie. If you are wanting to see a good old fashion action movie then this is the one for you. If you saw Die Hard and Speed put them together and you get this movie.

John Cena is a decent actor and this movie is a good one for him. He doesn't show off his physique and that helps give him some credibility other than just a wrestler. The biggest problem of the film is the camera work. I think the camera work is horrible. If you saw the Condemned with Steve Austin there were several parts in that movie that the camera work was horrible.

That is the only drawback to this movie. The camera work at times almost makes you sick because it is moving so fast and it is hard to make sense of what is going on.

But the acting I think is fine and the story plot is enjoyable. Just don't go into the movie expecting a movie with a deep plot. It is a good old fashioned action movie with an excellent actor as the villan who is always one step ahead.

Race to Witch Mountain

Posted by Jay Philips | Thursday, April 02, 2009

We went to the movies to be entertained and left the movie theatre feeling completely satisified. This is a family movie, with pleanty of action, a story line that was not complicated, and characters that were easy to cheer for.

Some of the "so-called" professional critics should take a 10 year old with them the next time they review a PG rated film. If you have children, take them to see the movie. If you are an adult and are going to see the movie, keep an open mind - it's not a remake of the original films; Disney took a good idea and added a modern spin to it.

Far Cry

Posted by Jay Philips | Monday, March 09, 2009

In a mysterious nearby forest, a group of mercenaries are attacked. A scientist, Dr. Krieger, watches this from a secret research facility, obviously pleased with the results of his work, which is the cause of the death (which is unknown) of the mercenaries. In Seattle, a veteran newspaper editor makes arrangements to send his two archrival reporters, Tom Moore and Valerie Constantine, to check out the mysterious reports coming from an island in the Pacific Northwest. Once on the island, it doesn’t take long for the duo and their Captain, Jack Carver (Schweiger), to find trouble. The main mercenary commander Maria Sanchez immediately tries to capture them. Valerie and Jack manage to escape but Tom is killed. The mercenaries are hot on their heels and Valerie and Jack argue about their plan. Jack wants to get off the island as quickly as possible by reaching his friend Emilio. Valerie, a seasoned reporter, wants to gather more evidence for her story. After several dramatic chases and an encounter with the strange creatures, Valerie, Jack and Emilio are captured and brought to Kreiger. Krieger wants Valerie to join him in reporting his accomplishments to the world. Meanwhile, in the lab, the creature escapes and tries to kill Jack. Jack and Emilio manage to elude the creature but others in the compound are not as lucky. The creature corners Valerie and she narrowly escapes death as Emilio and Jack reach her just in time. The loss of control sends Sanchez into a fury. Jack and Valerie are pursued by Sanchez as they make a frantic attempt to get off the island and alert the world.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Posted by Jay Philips | Friday, February 27, 2009

One year later, the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1,300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct and Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy. The four children will soon meet a curious new character: Narnia's rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding, as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians--led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian--embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz's tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.

I went to the movie expecting it to be a entertaining film, but not as good as "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" because I find the book"Prince Caspian" less interesting than the previous. However, I was thoroughly impressed by the film, and can say that I enjoyed it more that "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", because I think that the movie "Prince Caspian" has an older audience in mind. There was a little more violence and the movie's pace was faster then the last installment of Narnia. Overall it was an excellent film.

Hancock

Posted by Jay Philips | Thursday, February 26, 2009

Hancock was a very funny movie with lots of action. The visuals in this movie were very cool. The special effects were very good as expected. I think they were better then in some other superhero movies. It was a very different superhero movie.

Hancock was a very different, drunk, mean, smelly superhero. The twists in this movie were very good. They were kind of pretty obvious and others were unexpected. The direction of this movie was great. Will Smith was a good actor as he usually is. He had very good moments in this. He was definitely funnier than you would expect. The best thing about him was he didn't try to be funny he just was. This was probably the best action comedy movie made since Rush Hour. This movie has a very high budget for a very short movie. It was funny how all of the kids loved Hancock, but most parents all hated him.

Charlize Therron was very pretty and had some good scenes. Will Smith and her and many funny, action, and dramatic scenes together. I think the movie remained pretty consistent all the way through. If anything it got a little better toward the end of the movie. I also thought the story was really good and didn't give anything away until the end. Just know going into this movie you have to be aware it is very far-fetched and very fake. So don't read the other reviews that say how fake and dumb this movie was. It was very fun and entertaining to watch. I would even go see it again maybe to catch anything I missed. Overall go see this movie it was very fun and surprisingly had a ton of heart.

Street Kings - Movie Review

Posted by Jay Philips | Tuesday, February 10, 2009

Street Kings is a solid, entertaining film. It is a dark action depicting the lives of some LAPD dirty cops, I can't say the movie is flawless, but it's really good, the story gets more interesting as it goes on and it does an excellent job of immersing the audience into the deep, complex plot.

I think they found the perfect cast. They all played amazing parts and did great jobs. They made it really realistic. Chris Evans pretty much had little screen time. Keaunu Reeves did a great job in this as well. I think that he pretty much stole the show from every one though. He pretty much was in each seen. Forest Whitaker did another great job. This was probaly his best movie yet. He made his part very realistic. He was very fun to watch in this movie. Hugh Laurie did a great job as well surprisingly coming from a T.V. show. This was just very entertaining and had some extreme action scenes. Thier was a ton of blood in this movie in a couple different scenes. The messages were pretty much aimed toward cops.

The ending comes too soon and leaves a very important question unanswered, but I think the audience will make the right conclusion.

Righteous Kill

Posted by Jay Philips | Monday, February 09, 2009

Let me start off by saying that this movie is really good. Nice twist at the end, i think this ending is quite similar to the movie heat. The person who they are making you think did the killings isn't who you think it is.

Al pacino and de niro and 50 cent are great, apparently in this film Al Pacino turns out to be the serial killer. Very good film. They are a great team, 50 cent's did a pretty good job for a guy who just started acting, gotta give him some credit, because acting is hard, & he will eventually get better.

Two veteran New York City detectives (De Niro and Pacino) work to identify the possible connection between a recent murder and a case they believe they solved years ago; is there a serial killer on the loose, and did they perhaps put the wrong person behind bars?

Wanted - Movie Review

Posted by Jay Philips | Monday, February 09, 2009

One of the very best action movies this year. Although I don't think I can call this the best action film of all time, it is still fantastic and completely worth watching.

It was a very fun wild ride from start to finish. It surely will give you a good adrenalin rush, don't miss it! James McAvoy is truly a great actor he sure proves that he can play parts other then romantic dramas and Angelina Jolie is just as hot and beautiful as always.

The visuals were great. The special effects were great. The movie gave everything it advertised. There was nothing groundbreaking. But the action was entertaining. So, if you're into wild visuals, engaging action, and a massive amount of headshots, this is a film for you.

Death Race

Posted by Jay Philips | Sunday, February 08, 2009

Just saw this movie and it rocks! It was freek'n GOOD! it was much better than I expected. This movie is like the game "FULL AUTO" and "TWISTED METAL" it's for everybody that loves action,death,bloody,explosive movies!

Jason Statham knows how to act, he is good in all his films and i love the girl "Natalie Martinez" she's HOT! She is like WOW!

Ex-con Jensen Ames (Statham) is forced by the warden of a notorious prison (Allen) to compete in our post-industrial world's most popular sport: a car race in which inmates must brutalize and kill one another on the road to victory.

Max Payne - Movie Review

Posted by Jay Philips | Sunday, February 08, 2009

Have you seen the movie yet? better yet, have you even played the game, or even read a little summary of what the movies about? The game and the movie are not so similar, they tell the same story in different ways.

I wasn't one of first peoples in my country that saw this movie. It had amazing visuals, no one can deny that. The movie was good but not very good honestly it was screwed up, but I really can say that the game is way better half of the movie doesn't have much action but the other half is awesome still it would be better if it was rated R, in that movie, worst thing was heavily edited storyline.

RocknRolla

Posted by Jay Philips | Friday, February 06, 2009

I found it very good. Great soundtrack and camera angles, they gave us a great group of characters. They hit you from different directions, it reminds me a little of the movie "SNATCH", this movie was so funny and johnny quid was good in the elevator, don't wanna give away too much but it's not that bad, the british humour is always brilliant. Johnny quid is the best part of the movie. He steals the show.

Overall it was quite cool and funny, I was laughing hysterically at some parts, especially the gay jokes.

Iron Man

Posted by Jay Philips | Tuesday, December 30, 2008

What an entertainment I got! The movie is absolutely fantastic and the two hours simply flew without realising it. When the movie producers paid mega bucks to get top-notch actors, they really got their millions' worth. Robert Downey Jr who plays Tony Stark / Iron Man, the billionaire industrialist, fits the role. Tony Stark is a multi-layered character. He's an unbelievable genius, a pampered playboy, an extremely likeable character, with great wit and eccentricities, and when things get difficult, yes, Tony Stark has a heart.

He is good-looking, drives expensive cars, lives in this ultra-chic home overlooking the ocean, flirts with women shamelessly and comes up with funny quips. The scene at the beginning where he is being driven from a test site accompanied by three army personnel is quite fun to watch. The three are obviously in awe of Stark, the hot-shot genius, and he breaks the ice ever so effortlessly.

Iron Man isn't about how a good person gets bit and seeks a way to 'save' people, which is the usual staple in superhero movies. Instead, it's about the change in a man's perspectives and thoughts, as he sees the world is not in reality as simplistic as he's convinced himself for years.

Unlike most superheroes, where it's merely a rush in the story to get to the part where the hero puts on the suit, Iron Man slowly undergoes this process. It's not concerned with the usual path. Instead, we concentrate on Tony, as he experiences tough circumstances which leads him to look deeply into himself.

Batman: The Dark Knight

Posted by Jay Philips | Sunday, December 28, 2008

Without a doubt, the batman movie is one of the greatest movies of our time. It is truly an extraordinary piece of cinema as it is a radical departure from the "Superhero" movie genre as we know it.

The action sequences which have applause initiating moments are nicely balanced with the drama throughout this film, which in essence have you wanting to see more now, as you wait for the finale. Each primary character - Christian Bale of course does a great job playing Batman and Ledger did a great job as well. Heath Ledgers' portrayal of the Joker brings us face-to-face with one of the most maniacal psychopaths to grace the big screen. Everyone knows all the speculation about Heath Ledger's death after playing the Joker, and even the speculation of him being chosen in the first place, but there's one thing that there should be no speculation about: his performance. He puts on the best acting performance I've seen in years.

Overall The Dark Knight gets an A+ ___ this movie is breathtaking. Christian Bale and Heath Ledger represent true acting in this film.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Posted by Jay Philips | Sunday, December 28, 2008

I think you'll love this film. this movie was visually stunning, with some very cool action scenes as expected. Very nice special effect usage within the movie, and The story was very easy to understand, and the comedy used throughout the entire movie was very funny and creative.

The first Hellboy movie was a bit of an oddity, and while I did truly enjoy it, there were some flaws. Given what it was, I still feel that it was a decent attempt at trying to bring a strange and fantastical idea to wondrous reality. Hellboy II The Golden Army does indeed take the next step forward and brings to life the amazing and magical world of mythological creatures, improving greatly upon its predecessor and should give rise to hope for more cinematic adventures of the big red one and his buddies.
