If you have seen 30 Rock on NBC Thursday nights, you are familiar with Tracy Morgan's character, Tracy Jordan. One of the ongoing jokes on the show is the various horrible movies Tracy Jordan makes on the side of his main gig as the star of TGS. Here is a brief list of some of those movies:
Who Dat Ninja?
Black Caveman
Black Cop/ White Cop
Honkey Grandma Be Trippin
President Homeboy
Fat Bitch (She's off the lease)
Samurai, I Amurai
Death Bank
A Blaffair to Remember
Cruise Boat- I'm getting to old for this ship
Rapping Grandma
Now comes this new, REAL, movie from Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, I stress that this movie is REAL:
Horrible, horrible, horrible. I think it would have been better if they just really made his fake Black Cop/ White Cop movie. In fact I think my first choice would have been Honkey Grandma Be Trippin.
So it's officially summer movie time. I usually don't have much of a chance to watch movies in the beginning of summer season, but try to catch more movies once we get to June. Here is edition 1 of a multi-part series on Summer movies.
Wolverine I liked it. It had cool action scenes, a believable storyline, and it ended in a way that X-Men 1 makes sense. Some people complained that it had nothing to do with the comic books. Truth be told, I don't care. I can't read, so I don't care what the comic books have to add to this story line. They introduce some cool characters with some cool tricks. They also have Gambit, which is one of my favoirte X-Men characters. I still don't understand how Wolverine and Sabretooth were brothers and mortal enemies in this movie and then in X-Men 1 Sabretooth never talks and Wolverine and him don't even know each other. Maybe an Origins movie that explains that Sabretooth also loses his memory. I would like a Professor X origins that show him starting X-men, that could be cool. A Magneto origins would be cool as well.
Star Trek: Loved it. Best "fun movie" since Batman. It did a great job of introducing people to Star Trek who know nothing about it. Had cool action, a cool story, and some very funny parts. It was cool to see how all these classic characters came to exist on the Enterprise. I also like how they didn't dumb down the story line. They just told a cool story. Yes there is time travel and multiple planets and storylines, but if you can't keep up, you're an idiot. I think this might be the best movie this summer.
Previews I have seen:
With Michael Bat making these Transformers movies, I am always a little nervous. At any point he could make these into horrible movies. With that being said, the first one was awesome and this one looks cool. Hopefully there is more Megan Fox and robots fighting and less of that dorky kid trying to figure out that puzzle and get into the feelings and emotions of the robots.
This looks horrible. First it has Dennis Quaid, enough said It looks nothing like GI Joe cartoons or action figures. Its almost like they wrote an action movie and added GI Joe character names into it. Fail.
This looks like the hipster's new Citizen Kane. Enough said.
I hope this movie is funny. Michael Cera is hilarious. I fear that Jack Black will be the annoying Jack Black instead of the funny Jack Black.
This appears to have potential. I like Adam Sandler when he is funny and serious in the same movie (Spanglish or Punch Drunk Love). Hopefully this is good.
I have blogged in the past about the power of emo, especially in a movie trailer.
I ran across this video of a movie that Spike Jonze is adapting from the book "Everyone Poops." It humanizes the struggles of a child learning the cruel ways of the world and her trying to find her place in it. Powerful stuff.
Okay, I guess I checked and the studio pulled out of the movie and they have decided to not make this one. I guess we will have to wait for this powerful story to hit the big screen.
