"Mystery Team" Movie Review

Mystery Team

So, I watched this the other night and have read a few other reviews about people saying that this blew but I beg to differ....

Now by no means do I think this was a great film, or even a good film for that matter, I can say though that it kept me entertained throughout the entire movie.

So, you have 3 geeky nerds that act like they are in 3rd grade although they are really 18 and they have their own detective agency. That about sums up the movie in a nutshell. Their typical case is "Someone stuck their finger in a pie" but now there taking on a murder case for 10 cents. Yeah... I know what your thinking.

Mystery Team is one of those movies that you will either enjoy and find it kind of amusing or you will probably completely hate it and think its retarded. I found a lot of the parts to be quite funny even though they were stupid. It's kind of like taking an 18 year old person and putting the brain of a 6 year old and this is what you end up with. When you watch this, you'll see what I'm talking about.

This is by no means meant for a child to watch even though the cover may look like it. There is nudity (only 1 scene) and a lot of swearing. If you're 18 and you think girls are yucky, then this will be right up you're alley.

In my last post I reviewed "The Other Guys" and this one is by far more funny. I would definetly watch this again before I watch "The Other Guys".

So if you're looking for a quick laugh and to be entertained, then by all means check this out. If you don't expect anything superb, you won't be disappointed. I'll give it a C+/B- for entertainment purposes, but probably a C overall.

Feel free to post your input on this movie. Enjoy!

"The Other Guys" Movie Review

I recently watched this disaster of a movie thinking that it might be kind of funny. Boy was I wrong!

Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg should not have been casted in this movie! I repeat...Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg should NOT have been casted in this movie!

Neither one of them made me laugh at all. It was a very cheesy plot, the acting was horrible, and the directing sucked as well. I'm not exactly sure what the writers and producers were thinking when they thought that this would be a good film.

First of all, I like seeing Mark Wahlberg in films where he's playing more of a bad-ass. Like Shooter, Fear, or Four Brothers. He has no business being in a comedy...well at least not this one. "The Big Hit" was Ok. As for Will Farrell, He acts his typical self like he does in every movie. I'm not a real big fan of him either so that really doesn't help the situation. The movie had a lame plot (I don't even remember it entirely, that's how boring it was) and bad supporting actors. When you try to be TOO funny, it just isn't. Bottom Line!

So was there anything good about this film? Well, not really. The wooden gun was a little funny for about 1/2 a second, then it got old real fast. I'm also pleased to say that I didn't have to witness Vince Vaughn in this. He would have only made it worse...which is hard because it already sucked.

I would rather be standing in line at the DMV than have to watch this again. Anyone that thinks that is funny is smoking something really good!

I won't recommend this to anyone! D- on my scale and that's being polite. If you don't believe me, find out for yourself.

The Wolfman - 2010

I went in to this movie with really high expectations which was probably the reason why I didn't really care for it. Now don't get me wrong, I love horror movies but this one just didn't do it for me. It wasn't really scary at all in my opinion.

At one point, the wolfman actually looked like one of the apes from "Planet of the Apes". Hmmmm.... not very wolfish. Also, towards the end of the movie when the two wolfmen were fighting, I couldn't tell who was who. They both looked exactly the same. How is anyone supposed to know who is winning and who to root for. I sure as hell didn't.

I think if there was more action and more scary or death scenes, the movie would have been that much better. I probably won't be watching this again for a very long time. Benicio Del Toro acting was good, but he could have done just a little bit better.

Overall, for a horror movie, I would give it a C+. Maybe, just maybe a B-

If your a big horror buff like me then I would say take a chance at renting it, otherwise wait till it on tv and watch it for free.

The Losers - 2010

I think this movie (The Losers) could have been much better if it had better actors. While it wasn't the worst movie i've seen in a while, it certainly wasn't great by any means.

First off, the plot was just OK. Basically a bunch of military guys want revenge on Max for killing 25 of kids in a helicopter. Yeah i know, it sounds kinda stupid...but it could be worse.

Oh, for those of you out there that don't know my review style, I never go into the whole plot on any of my movie reviews because you can read the synopsis of the movie on imdb or any other site out there.

With that note, the characters, especially Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Clay) were pretty bad. He's supposed to be in charge yet he seems like a big dope. Picture the dopey brother from "Everybody loves Raymond" and that's what he reminds you of. For a military guy that's supposed to be a bad-ass, he's really just a big pussy. He doesn't do any cool stunts or have any great action scenes. He just stands there and somehow hooks up with the girl...go figure. As for the rest of characters, the only one I really like was Chris Evans (yeah the guy from Fantastic Four). Although...he pretty much plays the same character in this as he did in F4.

Would I recommend people seeing this movie? Well it's not that bad to watch if there's nothing else on. I guess to rent it for a dollar at red-box is ok just be sure to return it the next day. Anything more than a $1 is a waste. There are a LOT of better movies out there that I would rather recommend you seeing if you haven't yet..action wise. (Shooter, The Bourne Trilogy)

I would give this a D+

If the ending wasn't such a bomb, I might even give the a C-, but trust me, the ending will disappoint you..It just ends!

Come 'on Hollywood, get your act together...I could have done a better job with my eyes closed.

A Nightmare On Elm Street - 2010

Hmmmm....Where to begin with this one. I watched this last night thinking it was going to be good. The outcome? Well, I was very disappointed.

First off the acting was not very good at all. I'm sorry but you just can't replace Robert Englund as Freddy! The rest of the cast was pretty bad too, Especially Nancy's mom. Wow was that a disaster. On to Freddy....Freddy didn't even come close to looking like the original Freddy. He looked more like a burned sock puppet. It was pretty sad. Where did they find this guy???

Whenever I watch a horror movie I always get excited and can't wait for the death scenes. The deaths scenes in here were pretty lame. Compared to the remake of Friday the 13th, this seemed like it was edited for TV or something. The Original was more gruesome and graphic. I don't think they really put any effort in to making this actually scary or anything.

If I was Robert Englund, I would be very pissed off about this movie. I really hope Hollywood doesn't remake another one of these.

I wouldn't recommend anyone seeing this movie in the theater even if you are a huge horror fan. And believe me, I AM! Wait till it comes out on DVD.

At best its a C+
