The Darkness: A Movie Review

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, whenever you're checking this out.  Today I'm checking out the flick The Darkness.  It stars Kevin Bacon, Radha Mitchell and David Mazouz.  "A family returns from a Grand Canyon vacation, haunted by an ancient supernatural entity they unknowingly awakened and engages them in a fight for their survival."  As of 5/29 over on IMDB it has a 4.0.  Lets go find out all about...the Darkness!

• End of the World from Indian spirits?  Nice
• Bruce Wayne has a habit of falling into holes
• Petoskey stones?
• Is Mikey Autistic?
• Hope Mikey didn't crawl into a gorilla pen!
• Jenny is awful loud in them there walls, Forest needs to keep her quiet (yes a Forest Gump joke, shut up they can't all be home runs)
• Why are there always creepydolls
• Hand prints are also creepy
• Him?  He is your brother sunshine
• What is with the hand prints?
• Kevin Bacon is starting to look old!
• Animals always know
• How does this flick only have a 4 over on IMDB, it is pretty good thus far
• Five stones....like Captain Planet?
• Lots of movement in the background in this flick.  Probably missing things while writing things
• Get out the sage, I feel a house cleansing coming on
• Did he go through the "portal"/burned area?
• The Blue Star?  Its close now?  What is he talking about Kevin?
• What are you doing?  Going to investigate on your own?
• Wait was that a dream?
• Well that blood was really gross!

• Damn that dog with to town
• Where is the buffalo?
• It is weird to see Paul Reiser in this type of flick
• Oh well, probably shouldn't have removed those stones sunshine, way to go Batman
• I don't think I'd have headphones on if this stuff was going on in my house
• Yeah a Tennis Rack, who are you Jim Cornette?

• I think the correct word at this point is....run
• The hands showing up on daughter was really cool

• This flick has a really interesting cast
• Why would you take Michael back into the house?!
• Of course a storm
• All five?  We've seen all but the Buffalo
• Wait...I think the Buffalo might be here
• That was easier then I thought...or not
• Sacrificing oneself for his child

That wasn't bad at all for a flick I never heard of!  I give it a 6/10.  

Nothing ground breaking here but a very good cast who all did a pretty good job.  The daughter, played by Lucy Fry, was probably the weak point of the flick from an acting standpoint.  The story wasn't anything new and the ending was slightly predictable as the flick went along.

I want to say I really liked the performance by Bruce Wayne...I mean David Mazouz.  He was very very good in the flick.

I thought the effects were cool especially the hands showing up near the end of the flick and the storms in the house as well.  

Overall there isn't a lot to say about this flick.  Average suspense horror flick and slightly above acting that helped the flick.  If you're bored I'd catch it at a second run theater, Red Box, Netflix or the like.  I wouldn't pay theater prices for this however!

Bottom 100: Santa with Muscles

Listen here brother...it is time for another movie review dude!  Now what are you going to do when you watch the Christmas classic Santa with Muscles brother!  It stars Hulk Hogan, Don Stark and Robin Curtis.  "An evil millionaire believes he is Santa Claus after an accident renders him amnesiac."  I can not wait to see Hulkamania running wild on the holiday season!

• I love this fact:  The original author's draft was changed so much that he sued to have his name removed.  Hope he had Hulk's lawyer who sued Gawker!
• He just got the smackdown laid down on him brother!
• Hogans hair is even more weird than normal
• Can you make Hogan MORE tan brother?
• Hogan does look like he is having fun
• Did they not see him bail out of the car?  Rule number 21 rules!  Dude!
• Mr. Frost?  Really?  In a Christmas movie
• Clint Howard is SO weird looking brother

• Santa fraud?
• Don Stark is over the top funny most of the time...this time it is hit or miss
• Even now I enjoy watching Hulk Hogan beat people up....dude
• The henchmen remind me of a bad group of wrestling characters
• Why isn't she top billed?

• Yes that is Mila Kunis
• How come Santa never knows your name when you meet him if he knows everything
• Are there only 3 kids at this orphanage?  
• Santa should have a utility belt 
• Santa with black gloves?  Weird

• Kevin West is always a weird little man, most of the time that I remember him at least

• Wow...these two CANNOT sing!!
• Awwww, the kid wants to be a hero.  Nice
• Weird random gems?
• I'll be honest Hulk Hogan movies are one of my guilty pleasures
• Is Blight trying to kill Santa Hogan?  Weird in a kids flick
• LOVE the mini pick axes
• Wait...was that Brutus Beefcake with a goofy mustache and haircut?

• IT IS ED LESLIE!  THE MAN OF A THOUSAND GIMMICKS!!
• The cops have a rocket launcher?
• Garrett Morris is the same in everything isn't he?

Well I wanted to tear this apart but I can't really.  I give it a 4 out of 10.  It wasn't horrible for what it was.  It was a low budget family Christmas comedy starring Hulk Hogan.  You can't expect something amazing!

I can't really say much more then that.  It has all the stupid childish jokes you'd expect.  I don't think I'd go watch it again but it really wasn't bad.  Hogan honestly wasn't a bad actor given what he usually has to work with.  He is on par with those action stars of the 80's and 90's and he does have good comedic timing most of the time, even if the jokes are horrible.  

The rest of the cast, minus the horrible villains, weren't bad.  The main girl Elizabeth wasn't what you'd call great but she was young so you get what you get there.  

The major bad spot is the villains.  They are just horrible.  Horribly written and performed.  If they toned those guys down a bit I wouldn't have hated them nearly as much.

You also have some pretty bad writing here but again look at what you're trying to write.  It wasn't Lord of the Rings or Narnia here!

However this flick doesn't belong in the bottom 100, there are MUCH worse flicks out there!

Overall I can't say watch it or avoid it.  If you see it playing and are bored there is worst things to watch.  Until next time...brother!

Movie Review: The Boss

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you're reading this.  I am back with yet another movie review.  This time I checked out The Boss.  It stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell and Peter Dinklage.  "A titan of industry is sent to prison after she's caught insider trading. When she emerges ready to rebrand herself as America's latest sweetheart, not everyone she screwed over is so quick to forgive and forget."  I wanted to see this earlier so I'm glad to get to see this flick.  Over on IMDB as of 5/16 it has a 5.3 on IMDB.  Lets find out who really is...The Boss!

• Is this a wrestling event?  A rock concert?

• Well this is a weird way to introduce the character
• Cedric Yarbrough is great as usual
• Gross midgets are gross
• Did she just make her pilot take his shirt off?  Is that legal?
• Peter Dinklage is creepy 
• What is up with all her weird turtlenecks
• Her hair is kind of annoying 
• Tyler Labine is good in everything he does.  Thus far this has a great supporting cast
• Damn you Tito!
• How did the bed do that?!
• Why is she looking at her lady parts?

• The lowest, weirdest guys are in IT?  Yeah...that is probably right
• It does look like a holy shit brownie
• Are they going to do a cookie competition thing?
• Yep they are
• Helen is horrible
• How great is Melissa McCarthy!
• Are they the guardian angels now?

• Nothing wrong with a pity date, take what you can get!
• Cumbersnatch...now that is funny!
• SHE IS GOING TO GET LITTLE PERSON SYNDROME!  RUN CLAIRE!!
• Running from Family is natural for some people
• Is Ida modeled off Paula Deen

• A sword fight with a little person...weird

Well that was better than I expected.  I mean I like Melissa in anything I've seen her in so it shouldn't surprise me.  Obviously fans didn't love it and I didn't either.  I enjoyed it but it was typical Melissa stuff, which isn't bad, but this wasn't great either.  I give it a 6/10 personally.

Melissa is hilarious when the jokes hit but when they don't you can feel it too.  Several jokes fell flat including the sexual stuff with Dinklage.  In fact the entire storyline with Dinklage was poor.  I would have gone with a different villain, probably the Kathy Bates character and had the Dinklage character in that small role.  I also felt the Helen storyline was a little forced, especially the final bit with the couch.

I also would have included a little more with the Darlings being "thugs" or Melissa teaching them to be cut throat but that is just me.  I thought the fight between the two groups was very funny, although felt very Adam McKay influenced who was one of the producers.

Overall it was enjoyable and I laughed or chuckled several times.  If you like Melissa and her usual physical dirty humor you'll enjoy it.  If you don't I'd skip this one.  Until next time remember, no matter what you're doing in life...

Bottom 100: From Justin to Kelly

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening...whenever it is you're reading this.  I am back with another Bottom 100 flick.  This time I'm checking out From Justin to Kelly.  It stars Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini and Katherine Bailess.  "A waitress from Texas and a college student from Pennsylvania meet during spring break in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and come together through their shared love of singing."  As of 5/12/16 it has a 2.1 over on IMDB.  I am off to check this out, may God have mercy on my soul...

• I know who Kelly Clarkson is but no clue who Justin is.  I assume another American Idol person
• She is so young looking...wow
• Ugg, the pop music is already killing me
• What is with Justin's hair?  

• I don't know if I can make it through this flick.  Good god it is killing me already
• This is enough to turn me off musicals for ever
• Wait the nerdy guy dances too?  
• For not wanting to go Kelly sure did jump into "Spring Break" mode really quickly
• Good grief I think they are all have seizures...oh wait...I guess that is considered dancing
• They are suddenly rapping?  KILL ME!
• What did she give him a ticket for?
• I don't even want to find more pictures today
• Wait....Kelly is now worried about objectifying women after she was bumping and grinding between someone random guys legs?  
• Kelly is flip flopping back and forth more than a politician
• If this is what Spring Break is really like I'm glad I never went, it'd honestly kill me
• The writer wrote this AND Spice World...that actually explains a lot
• Who is that random chick kissing Justin?  
• She isn't upset that he barged into the Women's room?
• Kelly for short?
• So the key to getting girls is barging into the ladies room.  Good to know
• I think I might put knives into my eyes and ears to end this punishment
• There are random beds out in the middle of nowhere?
• He is the mayor of Spring Break?  Really?
• She suddenly knows how to do this dance?  Wasn't she complaining moments ago?
• Yes I know musicals defy logic in the above sense but not if they do what they're doing
• Was the scene so bad they cut it short
• Everyone on the beach and he picks the nerdiest guy around to play volleyball
• It has only been 30 minutes?  Honestly?  KILL ME!
• How did she get back into the kitchen to begin with?
• And the Mayor of Spring Break is staying in that shitty hotel?  Really?
• Good god more rapping
• Going with the sunburn gimmick, really
• Yep, how does he not feel that sunburn.  This is awful
• I'm going to wish upon a star that I can go back in time and stop myself from watching this!
• And let me guess, she waited at the beach all day and night...of course she did
• Should Kaya be upset she cost that other guy his job not off partying 
• WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?  Hold a girl up side down and have her head shaking her head between your legs....so confused
• hovercraft race?  REALLY?  KILL ME
• Those are bean bags?
• How is he bleeding through his helmet
• This is just so poorly written

This flick hurt me quite a bit.  I give it a 1/10.  I don't hate the storyline as it has been done 100 times before and it will be done again in the future.  It is how it was executed that I hate.

It was so poorly written with such one dimensional characters.  None of them had any kind of character to them with the exception of MAYBE Justin but I'm being pretty nice saying he wasn't. You could see everything coming long before it happened.  That isn't a bad thing but when it is acting poorly, written poorly and just bad I have a problem with that.

I will say, even though I can't stand that kind of music, the singing was done well and I guess the dancing was good if you like that weird herky jerky type seizure dancing.  

However I can't say anything else good about this flick.  DO NOT WATCH THIS!  It is no wonder it is the fastest theater to home release ever with 29 days in between.  Do not watch this boys and girls, you've been warned

Movie Review: Batman Bad Blood

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you're reading this.  Thank you for checking out yet another movie review by the Fat Man.  Today, 5/13/16, I'm checking out Batman Bad Blood.  Another animated DC Universe flick.  "Bruce Wayne is missing. Alfred covers for him while Nightwing and Robin patrol Gotham City in his stead. And a new player, Batwoman, investigates Batman's disappearance."  It stars Jason O'Mara, Yvonne Strahovski, Stuart Allan.  Lets check out...Bad Blood!

• Well these guys are look interesting

Rejects from a costume party?  Bad Cosplayers?

• Who is this?  Batgirl?  Batwoman?  Batlady?
• Firefly?  Yep
• A bad Batman?

• Robin the Monk Wonder
• Nightwing basically sexting while fighting...weird
• How did they miss?  How do they always miss?
• Well...that had to hurt
• Lots of destruction....Robin sure knows how to party
• This Batmobile design is weird

• Ah Batwoman is the name, never guessed that.  I like Batlady better
• How great is Ernie Hudsons voice?  
• So Mad Hatter knows Bruce Wayne is Batman?  Weird
• Why even have secret identities?
• They have Alfred very strange these days
• They make this Batman not only brooding but an asshole which I'm not a huge fan of
• Did Alfred....oh nope it is bad Batman....who knows where the Batcave is
• Damian lets his emotions control him too much
• Wait...so does Batwoman know who Batman is now
• Well she does now!
• Wait...is Fox's kid becoming Iron Man?  Sure looks that way to me
• Did he tell his kid where it was?  What it was?
• Are those nuns wearing masks?
• And like that the bad bat is no more, anti-climatic
• Oh good grief!

• How do they always miss?
• Batwing?  Is that name already taken?
• How did Batwoman get her suit?
• Nice Indiana Jones rip off
• This Bat-Team kills a lot of people I've noticed
• That'll give her daddy issues
• They look like the Doctor Who Cybermen earpieces
• I've never shot a gun and pretty sure I could hit something before these people do!
• Is Alfred going to fight?
• Why does the Mad Hatter look like a Leprechaun?
• GOOD GOD ALFRED!
• Who needs the Justice League, Gotham as the Bat Swarm at this point now they're throwing in Batgirl!

Well that was different.  The extreme violence is a bit of a turn off as it is not what DC is usually about.  I give it a 6/10.  Not horrible but I didn't like it as much as the last Justice League flick.

I don't like the direction they've taken Batman at all.  He is now just a jerk about things and I never felt that was in Bruce.  Gruff, short, brutally honest but not a jerk.  I realize it is a different version of Bats but as I've said before I struggle when they drastically change the character without a real reason for the characteristics to change so drastically.

From a visual stand point this was on par with the newest versions.  They aren't horrible but there are things I don't like about it but I've covered that before.

I guess I continue to say the voice acting is what bothers me the most.  If you don't want Kevin doing Batman's voice fine but this version just doesn't work for me.  It is just....off to me.

Overall if you like the DC Universe and you've followed the others in the series this isn't bad.  I wouldn't go out of your way to watch it otherwise.  Not bad but not good either.  Just there.  

Bottom 100 Review: Zombie Nation

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you're reading this.  Welcome to yet another bottom 100 movie.  This time I'll be watching the flick Zombie Nation.  On 5/11/16 it has a rating of 2.1 on IMDB.  "A psychotic cop with a weakness for killing his female arrests gets what's coming to him when a horde of zombified women rise from their graves to seek revenge."  With my love of zombies I think this one is going to be painful.  However there is no point in delaying this, lets start.....Zombie Nation

• Who decorated that room?  A random weird staircase shelf thing?  
• The title is so big for this flick it needed 4 title cards!  AWESOME!
• This hurts?  He didn't even have the cuffs near her
• The acting is already painful 
• Where is the lady?  Great questions rookie, I'm sure you'll go far as an officer
• Typically not a good sign when you see "written and directed by"
• What the hell am I watching?
• He just leaves the door open?  
• That is the smallest bite ever taken
• Wait....do you think or are you sure you're with child?
• So this station has pipes right in the main room, good grief
• This director, Ulli Lommel, has at least two of bottom 100 flicks.  
• Have I mentioned that the acting in this flick amazing?  No?  Strange...oh wait because it isn't
• What is with this random caning scene they keep showing?
• Gunter Ziegler is...well...he is an actor I guess

• I hope there is a zombie outbreak while I am watching this flick so I can stop!  However if they are after brains I'll be safe because this flick is killing every brain cell that video games and Mountain Dew didn't get
• Good grief they have the lights right in the shot!
• Your office?  It is a fricking boiler room.  Mankind would be at home there
• Now he cops are in some kind of Fight Club?  And the rookie brought his maybe certain pregnant girlfriend there?
• Stunt men these guys are not
• Is this a crooked cop flick or a zombie flick?
• What was the point of the fight club scene?
• What the hell is this now?  Some kind of weird voodoo ceremony?  Even I know this story doesn't make any sense right now
• How is the blood flowing out of the dead pigs head?  WTF?
• Wait...did that spider just...go...into her?  NOW A SNAKE?  If they bring in a dog I'm shutting this flick off
• His partner is just chilling outside all this time?  
• Why not weigh them while they're awake
• Why am I trying to apply logic to this when there obviously isn't any put in by the writer/director
• IMDB says the flicks budget was $1500.  I think they overpaid for it!
• So instead of going around with your sister or getting her self defense training...you take her to a voodoo priestess?  Yep makes perfect sense to me
• For there being a nation of zombies, this film is still lacking said zombies.
• Weird...a little black makeup around the eyes and that makes them zombies
• Oh they mixed the voodoo zombie with the undead zombie.  Interesting idea, first good thing in this flick
• Is it safe?  Is what safe?  
• Stop saying that!  
• Did it just become a ZZ Top video?
• Wait...the zombies are the good guys?
• I don't get it, why is she yelling and what not.  The store is closed and he is the bad guy?
• How does this have anything but a 1 on IMDB is beyond me

The bottom 100 really isn't disappointing much as that was horrible.  It was just plain boring.  Obviously from the statement above I give this a 1/10.  Nothing really good about it.  Although the idea of mixing voodoo and undead zombies wasn't bad.  But then the zombies becoming cops at the end...ugg

The acting was atrocious.  All of it.  Just horrible.  Aside from the above the storyline was bad.  Honestly everything was bad.  

Do NOT watch this.  This was awful.  I'm done with this!

Movie Review: Justice League vs. Teen Titans

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whenever it is you're reading this!  I am back this time to review another DC Animated flick, Justice League vs. Teen Titans!  It stars Rosario Dawson, Christopher Gorham, Shemar Moore.  It has a 7 over on IMDB on 5/10/16 (When I'm writing this up) "Robin is sent to work with the Teen Titans after his volatile behavior botches up a Justice League mission. The Titans must then step up to face Trigon after he possesses the League and threatens to conquer the world."  I'm interested in this flick as it is a unique idea.  Enough typing lets go!

• Where is Lois Lane?
• The Legion of Doom?  AWE WHAT A RUSH!  

Wrong Legion of Doom?

• Wait...who are these people fighting the Justice League?  I mean I know who they are but they haven't been introduced to this universe yet I don't think unless I missed a flick
• Gotta respect Robin's idea of crowd control!
• That was unique by Superman
• Good grief some of DC's villains are lame
• Well that is slightly disturbing
• Oh it is Damian as Robin, that makes sense

Not the usual Robin nor Teen Titans

• What a weird design for Beast Boy

• I guess maybe it isn't weird just used to the Teen Titans designs already out there
• Wait...they have Blue Beetle as a teenager?
• So is Starfire a teen or their teacher?
• Again with the glasses between Superman and Wonder Woman?  GOOD GRIEF
• Who knew Blue Beetle was so cool look

• Then again I don't know anything about Blue Beetle
• I find Starfire & Ravens voices a little weird when you're used to old voice actors
• Atomic Skull?  Really?
• Is this all about Raven?
• I haven't said it but I don't mind the Wonder Woman design.  Not Rosario as the voice actor but the design is good
• That was strangely adult oriented
• I really hate this Batman voice actor.  Sorry Jason O'Mara but you're just not right for Batman
• Really a montage about getting to know each other with a horrible random pop song.  UGGG
• Now a dance off between Beast Boy and Robin in Dance Dance Revolution...I mean whatever this is called...I don't want to get sued
• I might stab myself in the ears if I have to hear much more of this pop music crap!
• All black eyes are so damn creepy!
• He only hits Raven because he loves her?  

Ravens stalker?

• Beast Boys name is Garfield?  That seems...wrong...but only if he was orange
• Did Starfire just get naked in front of everyone at the carnival?
• Her father sent them?
• This is why I hate demons
• I think this is how the Paranormal Activity series started Raven, you're just confused
• Strange that Green Lantern and Shazam aren't involved here
• To paraphrase Army of Darkness...Wonder Woman just got REAL ugly
• The Boom tube/Cyborg thing is odd but I see that coming in the Justice League flick too
• I like the Batman/Wonder Woman romance better.  Superman belongs with Lois, call me old fashion
• I really like this storyline and flick
• Perhaps its is the booze or the fact that I watched that horrible animated Titanic flick between the two Justice League flicks but I'm enjoying this much more than Throne of Atlantis.
• They did a good job in the design of hell
• Combining Damien and Raven's storylines, nice idea
• Ra's al Ghul fighting style is cool, just like in Arrow
• Well...didn't see that coming
• The Justice League pretty much gets their asses kicked constantly

Well that was much better than Atlantis.  I enjoyed it quite a bit actually.  A MUCH better storyline for sure.  Again for whatever reason the animation and art didn't bother me as much as earlier today. Perhaps it is the booze or perhaps it is because the story was better and didn't distract me as much.  

While normally I like the older voice actors I like the Damian/Robin voice actor.  It fits the character where I don't think the older one would.  I also can't complain about the voice actors for the Titans at all really.  While they were different they all fit the character designs I think.

The storyline of Ravens father was very nice and something I don't think was explored in the early 2000 Titan series.  The inclusion of Ra's al Ghul, even if it was just a trick of Trigon, was very cool. They have focused quite a bit on the Damian character in various Batman series so it makes sense to continue that focus.  Also works well for kids.

I will say the inclusion of the two pop songs was quite annoying.  I don't think it helped the story any and pulled me out of the story.  Especially the random dance video game segment.  I realize it was there to allow Raven to go visit with daddy but it was a little long winded.

Overall I give it a 7/10.  That is right on par with what others on IMDB have said.  A very good storyline and for the most part much better voice acting.  I still don't like Batmans voice actor and I missed Lantern and Shazam but those are minor points.  

There wasn't anything that this flick did over the top amazing but it didn't do anything glaringly bad and that is an good thing!

Bottom 100 Review: Titanic: The Legend Goes On...

As always good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you decided to read this!  I am back and this time I journey back down the rabbit of the IMDB Bottom 100.  This time I am watching Titanic: The Legend Goes On...  It stars Lisa Russo, Mark Thompson-Ashworth, Gisella Mathews.  "A Cinderella meets her Prince Charming on the ill-fated Titanic. Along for the ride are a rapping dog, other talking animals, and an assortment of wacky humans."  I don't know how this can be bad!  Grab your Celine Dion CD's and let's journey back to "Largest and finest steamers in the world."

• Wait...is this a foreign flick?
• Weird yet not bad animation.  The wicked stepmother looks like the book bad guy from the Care Bears Movie

Sad when 1985 animation was better than 2000

• I take it back about the animation...good thing I have some rum
• What is in that bag?  Pocket Rocks (Yes that was an American Dad reference most likely no one got)
• This animation is like old He-Man cartoons, half the time the characters aren't moving it just panning a picture
• Speedy Gonzales?

• Ah the cliche step sisters
• How do you have bad framing in an animated flick?
• Why does the kid mouse have a different accent than his parents?
• WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?  The dogs voice completely changed when he raps!  
• What the hell is going on in this flick?  Is there a coherent storyline?  
• I think this is a foreign flick the way the voices don't match the animation
• A reference to 101 Dalmatians?
• I still have no idea what the plot is in this flick
• I don't know what to say about this flick.  I've been watching and its like a trainwreck that you can't look away from
• I still don't know what is going on.  This flick can't figure out if it is an animal story, Cinderella or a mystery flick
• Everything else is in English and this song is randomly in Spanish...what a weird damn flick
• Spoiler alert...there is an iceberg in this flick
• Now it is a disaster flick?  I know it is pretty obvious considering the title but still
• They just repeated the same line several times....I'm so confused by this entire thing
• What?  That is twice the same line was repeated.  How do you edit an animated flick poorly?

What was that?  I have no idea what I just watched.  It had no coherent plot.  I give it a 1/10.  This did nothing well and several things badly.

The voice acting was poor.  I couldn't understand what the child mouse said half the time.  Some of the performances were over the top and the others were extremely flat.  It had so many storylines that I have no idea what happened.  A ward found her mother and future husband.  A cop caught some thieves.  I don't know what the point was of the animals or the random lady fleecing guys meeting the broke banker!  Then you had the singer and the dalmatians which seemed out of place.  Throw in the sailor who was nice at one point but others was a jerk and I have no idea what happened.  The animation was horrible 98% of the time with overly cartoony looks mixed in with horrible CG of the boat itself.

It is rare that a flick does everything this poorly but this flick does.  

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis: A Review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you happen to be reading this.  Time for another movie review but this time it isn't part of the Bottom 100 as my last few.  This time I'll be checking out Justice League: Throne of Atlantis starring Sean Astin, Rosario Dawson and Nathan Fillion.  "When Atlantian troops assault Metropolis as revenge for the death of their king, the Queen seeks help from the Justice League to find her son who has gone missing during the madness."  This is the third movie of the reboot of the Animated Justice League.  As of 5/10/16 over on IMDB this has a rating of 6.6.  Lets jump in shall we.

• While I don't like ALL the animation some of it is REALLY good
• Its weird to have the 2001 Justice League Superman in the flick but not as Superman.  Its the voice I think of as Superman and had to do a double take when I heard it
• I don't like Superman and Wonder Woman being an item

Just seems unnatural for him not to be kissing Lois

• Interesting, he isn't king of Atlantis at this point
• All this over a lobster?  The people in Metropolis really like their seafood
• One of the things I don't like about this most recent reboot is some of the voice acting. Aquaman for example just seems flat and phoned in
• Why is a trench coat always the perfect disguise for people?  the Turtles and others
• However I will say that Fillion is perfect for Green Lantern
• Good grief, they have Wonder Woman now wearing glasses to hide 
• I do not like the Superman model in this flick

The cape is just weird here

• I also don't like the Batman voice actor or his design
• Okay while I don't like Batman or Supermans voice actor Sean Astin and Fillion are great
• I do like that these flicks are more adult orientated than the 2001 series but they are missing some of the magic that the series had
• Where did he get the sub?
• This flick isn't bad...but it is kind of boring honestly
• Cthulhu?
• YES AQUAMAN POWERS GO!
• I kind of like the Atlantis armor, reminds me of some of the Mass Effect armor
• John Henry....nice
• Well that was just stupid looking, a walking Green Lantern maid with a vacuum?  Where have I seen something like that before?

Just paint it Green

• Damn...we're going to need a bigger boat Manta

Lifeless doll eyes

• I like this Orm character, however a little overpowered

Needs a better costume however

• Nice call back, I like that Batman is the one thinking...as always
• Why would they follow someone they don't know?  Because he is in that kinda cool orange outfit?
• I don't like that he joins Justice League so openingly
• King of the Sea stuff?  

Well that was something.  I think the 6.6 rating was about right.  Slightly above average.  I give it a 6/10.

It was one of those flicks that doesn't do anything good but it doesn't do anything bad either.  The storyline is different and I'm sure taken from a comic series.  A different take on the Aquaman origin storyline.  

The animation/art is what it is.  I like it most of the time but I don't like over exaggerated muscles of the male heroes.  I also think the character designs are a little off.  The capes sit weird, the jaws are a little off, everything is just slightly off for me.

The voice acting is there.  I know I mentioned it before it isn't that it is bad it is just hard not to compare it to the 2001 Justice League which I think had the voices just perfect.  However I'm sure that is me looking back through rose colored glasses since I'm a huge fan of the series.

It is what it is.  If you like the DC universe check this out sometime.  Its worth the 80 minutes or so...what is this?  An after credits scene...with Luthor?  NICE!

There you go, a little different review today then lately.  I'll continue with my Bottom 100 reviews in the near future.  I also think I'll start watching the top 250 randomly as well to give a balance.  As always if you want me to watch a flick just let me know and I'll do it.  Until next time, remember, never mess with a lobster!

My Review of Superbabies; Baby Geniuses 2

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening whenever it is you happened upon this review.  I continue my quest to see the bottom 100 movies over in IMDB.  This time I am checking out Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2.  As of 5/9/16 it has a 1.9 rating.  It stars Jon Voight (Really?), Scott Baio, Vanessa Angel.  "A group of smart-talking toddlers find themselves at the center of a media mogul's experiment to crack the code to baby talk. The toddlers must race against time for the sake of babies everywhere."  Enough of this, it is time for me to watch yet another bottom 100 film!

• I am 2 minutes in and wow is all I can say.  Wow
• I think that kid just grew 2 feet and then shrunk again.  He really is SUPER!
• Is this a prequel to Agent Cody Banks?
• How is there any scenery left after that first Voight scene?  WOW!

Springtime for Hitler and Germany

• Who wrote this and why?
• Duck?  
• Is it too late to back out of this bottom 100 idea?
• 76 minutes to go....
• Wait...the kids can read and write and use computers?
• Are they really trying to get the baby to talk?
• Even the adults are bad actors

• The worst bad guys in the world

Or anyone to watch this movie!

• Good grief this must have been written by a 3 year old
• What in the blue hell am I watching?
• Why aren't the kids wearing pants?
• Shouldn't someone be looking for these kids?
• The man is over 7 years old?  GOOD GOD WHO WROTE THAT LINE!?!
• Nice random cameos even though I have no idea who that band was
• Wait...where are the parents of those 3 kids?  Is it a daycare or an orphanage?
• Wow an actual storyline in this flick.  Probably should've started off with that boys and girls
• I think my IQ is dropping by the minute, and I don't have that many points to spare!
• Who starts a countdown at 60 seconds?
• Why in the blue hell is he just spinning around while typing?
• I can almost squeeze through those bars
• Even the voice acting is bad
• A beach landing?  
• What are those random floating balls in the water?
• Again why aren't the babies wearing pants
• This is just so poorly written
• This was just an anti-TV story?

Well that was something.  Lets start off with my rating, which is 2/10.  

I usually like to say something good about a flick but there just wasn't anything in this.  Nothing.  The acting was horrible.  The CGI was pisspoor.  The story was almost nonexistent for the first half of the film.  Did I mention the acting was horrible?

This sad thing is that the story about the two kids and the super juice wasn't horrible.  It'd actually make a decent kids TV show I think if worked correctly but in this format it was not right.  Now that I think about it if you broke this down into a TV format it might not be nearly as bad and hard to swallow.  But as a full fledge film it hurts bad to watch.

I don't know what Jon Voight was thinking doing this film.  Everyone else I can understand as Scott and Vanessa aren't' exactly A list stars.  The kids actually weren't horrible but when you throw in the HORRIBLE voice acting this was just painful.

Do NOT watch this.  This isn't a good bad movie.  It is just bad.  Bad baby.  Bad!  At some point I think I have to watch the first Baby Geniuses and I'm sure I'll have a similar response to it.  Up next time on this bad movie ride is the animated film Titanic: The Legend Goes On... 

Until next time, remember, never send a man to do a boys job!

My Reaction during most of this film
