"Horrible Bosses 2" - Review



This Sequel wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it's still ridiculous with a stupid & outrageous plot. Charlie Day, Jason Sudekis, and Jason Bateman reprise their roles as the idiotic trio of friends that always finds themselves in compromising situations. There is still that hilarious chemistry between these three actors, which makes for a better movie. They are average guys that come up with terrible plans that involve crime, but they're not cut out to be criminals at all. That's what makes this movie fun to watch.

So these three regular guys consult Jamie Foxx's character, "Motherfucker Jones" again in this movie for "criminal advice" and Jamie Foxx plays a much bigger role in the sequel. He's also a lot cooler and funnier in this movie. Jennifer Anniston also returns in this sequel and her character finally gets what she wants ("Dale's white whale") LOL. Chris Pine's character is actually the villain in this movie, which I did not see coming.

It's a good film, especially considering it's a sequel and the first one wasn't that great. I liked this movie more than the original "Horrible Bosses" - I give this sequel a  6 /10

"The Equalizer" - Review

 

 
The re-make of the popular 80's movie, "The Equalizer" is really brought back to life by Denzel Washington. His performance in this movie is phenomenal and he is what makes this movie so good. He makes the film so intense just by making his famous Denzel Washington faces. He plays an average-Joe that works at a home improvement store, but is secretly a trained killer. He is so calm and methodical as he kills an entire gang of Russian mobsters one-by-one in very creative and gruesome ways. This movie is super violent, but Denzel Washington's character holds his composure throughout the whole movie. He never raises his voice, curses, or threatens; he has a calm demeanor during the entire movie while killing countless gangsters and he always gives them a chance to keep their lives before he kills them.

All this fighting and violence is done with good intentions at heart. Denzel's character, "Robert" is exacting revenge on anyone he sees doing wrong/ evil and single-handedly restores order back to his neighborhood. "Robert" leads a very simple, routine life and doesn't look dangerous, but he is highly trained in combat and basically invincible. He is compassionate and goes out of his way to help others and cares for people, which is why he refuses to sit back and watch the injustices around him.

Pretty much EVERY Denzel Washington movie is guaranteed to be good and this one is no different - I give this movie  8/ 10

"Get Hard" - Trailer



I'm on the fence about this one....I mean, of course I'm going to see it, but I'm in no hurry. Based on the video above, this movie is either going to be something new and funny -OR- it's going to be a terrible waste of time. Then again, with Will Ferrell, it's ALWAYS hit-or-miss. He has starred in classic comedy movies like: "Anchorman" (1 & 2), "Step Brothers", "Old School", "Talladega Nights", "The Other Guys", and "The Campaign". All of those movies were huge box office hits and instant cult-classics. There are SO many famous lines/ phrases from each of these movies that everybody loves & remembers.

But, Will Ferrell has also starred in awful box office flops like: "Blades of Glory", "Semi-Pro", "Stranger Than Fiction", "Bewitched", and "Elf". It's hard to even sit through those movies and most people agree. What is his process behind choosing scripts ? Does he just do any movie that comes across his agent's desk?? There seems to be an inconsistency in whatever criteria Will Ferrell has for choosing which movie offers to accept.

After watching this trailer, I'm willing to bet this is going to fall into the latter category of terrible & stupid Will Ferrell movies. Kevin Hart's other new movie, "The Wedding Ringer" looks way better than this, and that movie is a straight rip-off of Will Smith's "Hitch". We'll have to wait and see when it releases March 27, 2015 and I'll definitely post a Review on here.

"Entourage" the MOVIE - Trailer



I heard rumors about this, but I can't believe they actually made an "Entourage" movie. This was originally a super popular HBO show that lasted 8 seasons and ended abruptly with a terrible, short season. Maybe this movie will make up for that awful season finale and give the audience proper closure in a way that makes sense. Maybe that's exactly why they made a movie about this TV show that's been off the air for over three years now... It's either that, or the creators of this movie are simply trying to ride on the success of this hit HBO series.

"Entourage" was a great show, but what I don't understand is... how can there be a movie about it now after all the characters split up in the final episode and went their separate ways ? Is the movie going to un-do that, or just pretend that terrible final season didn't happen?

Also, there was almost 100 episodes of "Entourage", each lasting a full hour. How are they going to condense it and make a 2 hour movie instead? Perhaps it will just be like one super long episode of "Entourage" (which is cool with me). It is nice to see all our favorite cast members come back one last time. Especially "Ari Gold", played by Jeremy Piven. And of course, "Vince" and his "entourage" are back. "Turtle" lost weight and looks a lot better in the trailer and "Drama" is still the same old "Drama".

Plus, Mark Wahlberg  is in this movie which is cool considering "Entourage" was originally created by him.  I'll definitely check this movie out when it's released summer of 2015 - The trailer looks promising.

Imagine Dragons - "It's Time" LIVE & Acoustic



I thought I would share some more enjoyable music by Imagine Dragons for Christmas.
My gift to all of YOU!

This is a HQ video of Imagine Dragons performing their hit song, "It's Time" live @ SXSW. They play a stripped down, unplugged, acoustic version of this awesome song and it sounds just as good as the album version. For a mainstream rock band, they maintain a very indie-rock sound.

Imagine Dragons - "Radioactive" LIVE



I hope being one of the millions of people that jumped on the Imagine Dragons bandwagon doesn't make me lame (even though I was here first). But there is no denying that this band is incredibly talented and their debut record, "Night Visions" is an absolute masterpiece. The album had SIX singles on it that all landed on the Billboard Top 100 Chart. Some of those singles topped the charts including, "In Time", "On Top of The World", "Demons", and this song -  "Radioactive" which holds the record for "Longest Charting Single" on the Billboard HOT 100 Chart (87 weeks !) Not to mention, the album, "Night Visions" was the #3 Top Hot 100 Albums of 2013 as well as the #7 Overall Top Artist of 2013. In 2014 They went on to win three Billboard Music Awards for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Artist, and Top Hot 100 Artist.

All this attention and all these awards off their very first full-length album. They've already won a Grammy award in 2013 for Best Rock Album. They've received a tremendous amount of success and attention internationally. Above is a Live performance of their #1 single, "Radioactive" @ The Joint in Las Vegas. This is a catchy, powerful song and a great video with High Quality sound.

"The League" - Season 6 Review



Season six of "The League" just ended with a pretty explosive season finale.....literally. They blow up the prize beach house that goes to the winner of their Fantasy Football League in the very end. Couple that with "Kevin" seeing ghost "Ted", "Ruxins" son using testosterone and going into puberty at age 6, "Taco" gets rich (again) and "Rafi" comes back to life and we learn of his origins (finally).
All of this made for a ridiculous season and what seemed like a series finale. Although, I'm not sure if the show is over now, but this is a good way to end it. Plus, 6 seasons of Fantasy Football jokes and episode ideas... I think the writers are tapped out.. I Loved this season because it was chaotic, hilarious, offensive, and out of control. They really went all-in on this season - you gotta check it out!

Zedd - Moment of Clarity (Mini-Documentary)



Documentary on Zedd and his path to his first full-length album, "Clarity" and the enormity of success this record has brought him since it's release in 2013. He's quickly become the new face of electronic music and this documentary is not only about him, but also other artists he has worked with. You get a behind the scenes look into this incredible album and the process of making this masterpiece. If you haven't heard "Clarity" yet, then you are missing out! Watch this short documentary.

Zedd - "Clarity" (feat. Foxes)



This is the official music video for "Clarity"(Feat, Foxes), the first single off the debut album by German dubstep DJ: Zedd. The name of his album is also titled "Clarity" and it's amazing! From start to finish, this record is filled with back-to-back, inventive, electronic tracks such as: "Shave It Up", "Spectrum", "Lost at Sea", "Codec", "Fall Into the Sky", "Stay The Night", "Push Play", "Alive" and of course, "Clarity" (See video above) which is by far his BEST song.

I basically named every song on the record, and that's after I tried to narrow it down to my favorite tracks. This album is That good! Every song could be a single, which is why Zedd won the Grammy award for "Best Dance Record" in 2013.

Still pretty new to the American electronic / dubstep scene; Zedd has already made a HUGE splash. He has done collaborations with many other artists and he's produced tracks for other artists. Zedd is just a DJ and producer, so pretty much every song on this record features a vocalist singing over his incredible music. He got his start just remixing other artists music, he even remixed Skrillex - "Breakin' a sweat"(feat. The Doors) and I think it's better than the original Skrillex version. (One of my first blog posts)

"Hot Tub Time Machine 2" - Trailer



I can't believe they made a sequel to this movie.... the first one was barely worth watching. "Hot Tub Time Machine" had funny moments and it was entertaining to watch, but it had a ridiculous plot. The sequel just picks up where the first movie ended, and then it has the same weak, time-travel plot too. Except, in the sequel, they get back in the "magic hot tub" and go forward in time instead of going back.

Also, John Cusack isn't in the sequel; it seems he has been replaced by Adam Scott. It makes for a more believable group of friends anyway. I didn't think John Cusack fit into the first movie... (He's not a comedy actor). I love Craig Robinson and Rob Corddry, so I'll probably still watch this as soon as I can. "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" releases Christmas day.

"Workaholics" Season 5 Trailer



This is the first promo I've seen for the new season of "Workaholics". This trailer is awesome and packed with explosive and high adrenaline action. Unfortunately, as it says at the end of this video, NONE of what you see in this promo is actually going to be in this upcoming season of "Workaholics". It's just a spoof trailer that makes it look like an action movie. It's still pretty cool and fun to watch these three characters we have come to know portrayed in this way. Now I'm super excited about Season 5 of "Workaholics" (set to debut Jan. 14, 2015) because Nothing has been revealed yet. #WHX #TightButthole

"Key & Peele" - Al Qaeda vs TSA



In this clip from the sketch comedy series, "Key & Peele", members of 'Al Quaeda ' meet to discuss another terrorist attack when they realize their every move is anticipated and thwarted by T.S.A. SO inappropriate but SO funny ! This video is from the last episode of season 4 - no word on a 5th season yet...

"Freaks & Geeks" Interactive YouTube Game



This is the interactive YouTube game, "Freaks & Geeks". Based on the TV show; this game follows the storyline of the "Freaks & Geeks" series. First, you have to choose if you want to follow the storyline as the "Freaks" OR the "Geeks". Every YouTube Video ends with a decision you must make that will take the storyline in different directions and takes you to the next YouTube video based on your decision. If you watched "Freaks & Geeks", then you will know what answers to choose and you'll beat the game easily, just go along with what happens on the show. This is such a cool idea and I've never seen YouTube video games like this. So, even if you aren't familiar with the television show; this interactive game is awesome and worth trying out!

Rogen & Franco Play the "Freaks & Geeks" YouTube Game



"Freaks & Geeks" is a sitcom from the early 90's and one of my favorite shows ever created. Unfortunately, it was ahead of it's time, so the show was cancelled after it's first season. Rogen and Franco talk about how the show is more popular now than it was back when it originally aired on TV. This show is where Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jason Segel, and Linda Cardellini got their start. They were the "Freaks" (burn-outs) and this show is also where Martin Starr and John Francis Daley got their start too; they were the "Geeks". All of those actors are super famous now and./or currently starring in TV shows and movies.

ALSO - all of these actors still work together and they're are all in movies with each other now. It's a shame the show didn't last longer, but if you've never seen or heard of this show, CHECK IT OUT!

AND...Watch Seth Rogen and James Franco play the game together and watch their reactions in the video above. It's such a cool idea to make a "Freaks & Geeks" interactive YouTube game! (First of it's kind) I will post the link to the game today.

Howard Stern Interviews Obama Supporters.... WOW



Short audio clip of a segment from the Howard Stern radio show, in which he "interviews" registered voters in line at a polling station in Harlem, NY. Its so sad that these stupid, ignorant members of the population are eligible to vote.You should be required by law to take an IQ test to get a voters ID or a test about the voters political knowledge.

Here, listen to Howard Stern mocking these idiots by asking them trick questions just to see if they know anything. He asks them why they are voting for Obama, and they have no idea WHY !

They know nothing about his policies, programs, and accomplishments, they don't even know who the vice president is, or that Bin Laden is supposedly dead. ALL these ignorant "minorities" are voting for Obama PURELY based on skin color....it's pathetic. Congrats Obama, You get the ignorant American vote. (which is unfortunately a large portion of the population). Just listen to this audio clip and I promise it will make you cringe like I did.

"Key & Peele" - Black Republicans



This clip is from the latest season of "Key & Peele", and I can't wait for a 5th season! This show takes the truth in stereotypes of different ethnic races and puts a funny spin on racism. It's like the new version of "The Chappelle Show", but much better.

 First of all, I LOVE that Malcolm-Jamal Warner makes an appearance in this clip, and secondly, he basically just plays himself, just like he did on "Community". "Key & Peele" are dressed just like him and attempt to deter black people from voting democratic. Just like they say in the video: black Americans just blindly vote democratic and the ONLY reason Obama was elected for two terms of presidency is because almost ALL "minorities" voted for him purely based on the color of his skin.

"The Boondocks" M.L.K Speech



This is obviously a fictional speech from an episode of "The Boondocks", wherein Martin Luther King comes back to life, only to see what has become of the black population since he was alive. He is quickly fed up with today's ghetto, lazy blacks after he fought so hard for equal civil rights while he was alive. I completely agree with every single word he says up on that podium.

Keep in mind, "The Boondocks" is written, created, and voiced by black men and women. Yet, the show is incredibly racist and pushes the boundaries of all races.

"The Boondocks" - Season 4 Review



Season 4 of "The Boondocks" just ended and it's by far, the most offensive season so far.... With episodes like, "Good Times", "Freedom Riders" and "Freedomland"; which is the most racist / offensive episode in the season. In "Freedomland", the black people are forced to be slaves at "Ed Wuncler II's" old times theme park, "FreedomLand". "Robert" owes so much money to "Ed Wuncler" that he has to do whatever he says....including being his slave.....literally. The authenticity of the theme park goes overboard when they force all the black people to be real slaves. I LOVE how offensive the show has gotten and I think this is the best season so far!

"Key & Peele" - Bone Thugs and Homeless



This video is from "Key & Peele" when they point out that rap groups don't exist anymore; it's only solo artists. There are collaborations but there are no more rap groups like, Wu Tang Clan, Blackstreet, Public Enemy, NWA, etc., So this is a parody of Bone Thugs & Harmony called "Bone Thugs and Homeless" singing about being broke and homeless now. I remember when some of these groups were super popular, they were basically like the black version of boy bands.

"Avengers" team up with the "Guardians of the Galaxy" (Cartoon Clip)



"The Avengers" and the "Guardians of the Galaxy" are both Marvel super hero teams, both have an interesting & diverse group of heroes, both have released VERY successful and lucrative movies recently, but one is clearly the superior team.... "The Avengers" are way better than the stupid "Guardians of the Galaxy" and they could defeat them easily. However, in this one minute video, you see them team up together after meeting for the first time.

Cereal Mascot Group Therapy Session



All of our favorite cereal brand's mascots in therapy / group counseling together. Have you ever watched a commercial for ANY of these cereals? The mascots are hooked on the cereal and will do anything for a fix. They are all addicts, just look at the "CoCo Puffs" bird or the "Trix" rabbit for gods sake! They all have addiction problems and they're all illiterate. That's why all cereal brands are misspelled, like: "Kix", Cap'n Crunch", "CoCo Puffs", "Froot Loops, "Rice Krispies", "Count Chocula" etc., The "Trix" Rabbit steals the kid's cereal, the kids chase the "Lucky Charms" leprechaun and steal his cereal and the "Cookie Krisps" mascot is a straight up burglar.

"Donatello" Gets Screwed



In this awesome & hilarious College Humor video about "The Ninja Turtles"; "Donatello" gets screwed over pretty bad.and no one seems to care. LOL. During the ceremony in which "Splinter" is making the turtles official ninjas with specialties and different color masks. But "Donatello" gets left out, because, let's face it, Donatello is the lame one.

NO ONE says "Donatello" is their favorite "Ninja Turtle"... He's the party-pooper and the nerdy, lame one out of the four. I LOVE this video! ("Splinter" is the best part).
