The Forecast

 After viewing the trailer for "The Prophecy" I was super pumped to see it. Being a fan of the "Supernatural" series I figured this movie was right up my alley! But, sadly, I was disappointed. Granted movies require some suspension of disbelief, but it was really hard for me to do on this one.

It started out great, had lots of potential. But they dropped the ball around the part where they introduced Mary to carry the dark soul the angels were after (The way Simon gave it to her was super creepy too O_O). They could have done so much better with the mithos they were given for this story, but they wasted it all (even Christopher Walken's potential as the angel Gabriel!). I dunno, maybe I went into this with expectations that were too high; but common! ANative American exorcism ritual for something that was obviously a christian-themed myth wtf!? They had an excellent opportunity use the background of Thomas and have him regain his faith through some sort of internal conflict and then finally caving in and performing the exorcism himself.  It even seemed like they were leading up to that from the beginning by showing the detective about to get his priest-hood (or bishop-robe or whatever) before he had an episode in the church and abandoning it to become a Detective instead; then discovering Uziel's bible with the new chapter and deciphering it. But then it all kinda fell flat I felt; sure Daggett gets his faith back in the end, but it was done in a kind of "well-the-movie-is-over-lets-wrap-everything-up" way *pfffffft* lame!

On the plus side: Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) as Lucifer, and Christopher Walken as Gabriel.

Maybe there's hope for it in "The Prophecy II", but I doubt it...

I give it 2 rubber angel faces out of 5.

"What do you love Gabriel?"
"Cracking your skull!"

Double movie week YA WOW!!!!!!!

Whoa, B-man comes out of the closet this week with an unsuspected movie pick at the same time us regulars were about to post a movie.
I thought about waiting but won't it be fun to have 2 movies in one week!! OMG I'm so LOLROTF, BFF, and uh... POOP, and what ever else.

So without further delay here is my wife Corina's pick (she's a little blog shy so I'll post it for her)

drumroll......


Its Serial Mom! A cult classic, so they say.

So, 2 movies, twice the work, double the fun, best movie week ever.

Ninja Movie Topic!

I'll just leave this here...

This week's Movie:

The Prophecy

Publish Post

Starring Christopher Walken (Woo!)

The angel, Gabriel, is on a mission to collect a soul to end the stalemate between Heaven and Hell; and he doesn't plan on asking nicely for it either... DUN DUN DUHHHH!

Land Before Ti- I mean Baby Legend of the Lost Dinosaur

This movie was not too bad, it exceeded my expectations! So I will probably end up going easy on it. Other then it bringing up horrid memories of Little Foot and his mom in Land Before Time and the mediocre acting it held my interest. There was instantly vanishing tribes, white folk trying to have babies, crazy professors, dancing, gun fights and dinosaurs in this movie you get it all. I would have never guessed it would be possible to combine all these at the same time but by golly this movie sure did! The dinosaurs are the best part of the movie by far. They were cute and huggable yet could crush humans with their massive plant chewing jaws. RIVETING!

Look I made a completely seamless dinosaur no problem!

I give this movie 3 "seamless" dinosaurs out of 5 but don't take my word for it.

Rubber dinosaurs galore!!!!

I know this is not a great movie but I like it, mostly nostalgia I guess.
The whole movie is pretty boring, the interaction between the humans and dinosaurs are boring.
There are a few action sequences that show full size dinos running thought the forest or falling and those actually look not that bad considering its just a guy in a suit.
Surprisingly there is a tear jerking moment when you see the budget Disneyland dinosaur dad get shot and killed, then eaten by vultures.
The wide shots of the dinosaurs look much better than the close ups when the seams and crossed eyes of the animals are revealed.
I'm rating this higher than it deserves just because I can remember being wowed as a 10 year old boy when I saw it in the theaters.
I give the dinosaurs 3.5 good from far, but far from goods out of 5

Here's my rendition of the native comic relief hero (no feet because I didn't want to draw them)

Baby back riiiiiibs and BBQ sauce

Here is my review of Baby the Secret of the lost somethingorother...

The movie wasn't terrible. It wasn't very good either. Considering the dumps we had to wade through so far, this was like a picnic.

The human characters were kind of boring, and the back and forth between the good guys and bad guys got a tad tiresome.
The best character in this movie was the crazy scientist/paleontologist/murderer. That dude would do anything for science!

The Goods: Lack of CGI and Seeing the seams in the floppy dino suites.

The Bads: The annoying human characters.

Rating: 3 tranquilizers in a dinosaur's neck out of 5

Here's a little treat I spent a couple hours making. It's better then the movie:

Yeah BABY!!!!!!

This weeks movie is Baby: The Secret of the Lost Legend, a movie about dinosaurs found in the modern age made before dirty computer graphics and Jurassic Park.

I loved this movie when it came out. I remember drawing pictures of the dinosaurs in school and making little play-dough Brontosaurs. Ahh the memories....

So hopefully this movie is as magical as I remember and its not going to #2 on my childhood.
