Rock of Ages is for folks who love cheesy
I went and saw this with my sister at the $2 theater.
I think I was one of 2 men in the whole theater.
Growing up my sister liked what I was listening to in high school, she looked up to her big brother ;-)
Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Guns & Roses, Van Halen to name a few.
So this flick was kind of like going down memory lane.
I got goose bumps more than once.
That being said, CHEEEESSE!
The first 5 min into it , I said this could be the cheesiest shit I have ever seen!
I said to myself if this keeps up for another 10min I'm out.
It got better, and I tell you what. TOM CRUISE WAS REALLY GOOD. I am not a fan of his, but he nailed the character called Stacee Jaxx.
He was a mixture of Axel Rose, Vince Neil, David Lee Roth rock god.
He was by far the best part of the movie, I hate to say it but he was!
Great movie to rent for date night, it is sexy Flick, that is for sure. Might be a great way to get your wife or girlfriend " worked up".
You have to love 80's rock to enjoy this, the likes of Foreigner ( a lot of this band)
Bon Jovi, Poision, Journey.
If you do then you might give it a 7.
If you don't like cheesey 80's rock then a 2.
Spider man 3d , ehh OK
Spider man was just OK. I was not a fan of Andrew Garfield In this. To me Toby Maguire was a better Peter Parker.
There was not much chemistry between Andrew and Emma Stone, and it's seems they are dating in real life. Just didn't translate on the big screen.
Another thing that pisses me off is the billing it as a 3D movie, there were a few seconds of cool 3d scenes, but not worth the extra $4 to see it.
I have only seen 2 movies that were worth the 3d label , Avatar & Transformers3 dark side of the moon.
If you like super hero movies it's not bad, your kids will love it. Rent it and enjoy with your kids.
I enjoyed how it showed how Peter Parker learned to work with his abilities and created his web slinger thingy.
All in all not a bad flick, just not as good as the Sam Raimi versions
I am giving it a 6 out of 10

Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter book is awesome, movie sucks
How in the hell can the same guy write an awesome book and such a shitty screenplay?
How does that happen?
Usually when they make a movie about a book, the book's author doesn't write the screenplay, it's unheard of. But this author got to, why not stick with what to you to the party?
Seth Grahame-Smith,you write a book almost as good as the Divinci code.
But wrote a campy horror flick from the 70's for your movie.
The movie is totally different from the book!
This movie sucked so bad, I can't even try to explain how disappointed I was watching this crappy movie.
I kept saying to myself , what idiot wrote the screen play for this, it's nothing like the book. Just the fact that Abe hunts vampires is the only thing consistent between the two.
I couldnt believe my eyes at the end and saw who wrote this crap.
Seth, great book, terrible movie you dumbass
maybe it might have been ok if you didn't read the book,...no way
It still sucked
If you read the book stay away from the movie

Savages is REALLY good
Oliver Stone, where have you been buddy?
This is his best flick in a long time!
The cast is exceptional. Whomever the casting director was, hats off to them.
Lots of pot smoking, sex, and huge dose of Violence.
Not for the faint hearted, it is very grusome.
But, it is really unique story, I was intrigued from the very start.
The Mexican cartels are scary and marijuana medical legalization in CA is the back drop.
I think Oliver's message is that the war on drugs is lost and it needs to be legal.
But enough said...
Blake Lively is SUPER sexy, WOW.
I loved Tim Riggins from Friday Night lights he was great.
( Sorry Taylor Kitsch you will always be Riggins)
Aaron Johnson was really good too , I liked him as John Lennon in Nowhere Boy.
He was excellent as was the entire cast
Travolta, Salma ( still looks Hot), Benecio Del Toro all very good.
Just very well done movie
Not great but REALLY Good
7.5
( Has to be 8 or higher to be great, Rating 1-10)

Ted is funny but not as much as I had hoped
Ted has been #1 at the box office.
Seth MacFarlane is the writer and producer of such hit TV shows Family Guy & American Dad.
He is the director and writer of this movie.
If you watch these shows like I do, this movie was nothing more than 1hr and half TV show.
Some people were shocked at the humor, but its the same writing as the TV show.
Funny yes, but I was expecting more since it was on the big screen.
You must have seen the 1980 movie of Flash Gordon to really appreciate what the hell is going on for a large part of the movie. Also I noticed the background music was very Indiana Jones and Star wars like. Which was funny.
Walhberg is great, he is really good considering most of his dialogue is by himself, because he is talking to a blue screen not a real person.
Seth who voices the bear is funny but its just him being the Peter Griffin voice from Family Guy.
I love the way they curse in the thick Boston accent
You r bein a cau-ck, and smell dat far-t.
Dont get me wrong, this is a very funny movie, for most. I was expecting more.
The 5 year engagment was funnier than this.

Prometheus is Alien
Sorry I have been really busy with vacation and work.
So I have several movies to catch up on.
First , Prometheus is directed by Ridley Scott who did the 1979 sci-fi flick Alien ( which won an Oscar for best visual effects).
If you have seen that then you have seen this. Its the same movie, a movie for a new generatin of fans.
Even the ending is the same as Alien.
Had Alien never been made this would have been a 8 or 9 but because its the same movie it gets a 5.5.
(Rating 1-10)
Great on the big screen, the sound & the effects are great--but knowing what is going to happen sucks.
