"Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp"




David Wain brought back his cult-classic comedy film from 2001 and made a special 8-episode Netflix series called, "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp". ALL of the actors from the original movie returned to do this prequel and some of them are huge, successful actors now, so it was cool to see the entire cast return 15 years later for this special Netflix series. For those that did'n't see the hilarious original movie from 2001; it was all about the LAST day of summer camp and all the funny and random stuff that happens over the course of this one day.

Well, now David Wain has made a prequel television series about the FIRST day of camp, and he somehow managed to stretch one day of camp over 8 episodes. It definitely has a similar feel to another one of David Wain's TV shows called "Children's Hospital" (also stars many of the same actors). What's funny, is that in the 2001 movie; the characters all plan to meet up again in 10 years to see what kind of people they have turned out to be. Now, the audience actually does get to see everyone almost 15 years later in this prequel.

It's the exact same random humor that was in the movie. In fact, this series should've been a movie....the run time on 8 episodes is the same as releasing a prequel film to "Wet Hot American Summer". The only difference between the original "Wet Hot American Summer" movie and this new prequel series is:  there is a much stronger focus on the actual campers themselves. Not to mention, some cast members didn't age well, so that makes the prequel even more ridiculous

In addition to all these comedic actors returning on screen together, this series also features a bunch of cameo appearances from various famous actors such as, Michael Cera, Jason Schwartzman, Jordan Peele, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Lake Bell, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel, Jon Hamm, Weird Al Yankovich, and even David Wain plays a character on the show. This series is hilarious and FULL of familiar faces! Its a Netflix exclusive series and if you liked the movie - you'll certainly enjoy this short series that just ended. The series ties into the movie and everything comes together at the end of the series, leaving off where the original 2001 film picks up.  I don't know how the studio got every single actor to come back and play their role again 15 years later, but it's awesome.

Final Fantasy Dance Battle - "Kinjaz" vs "Quest"



This video was made independently WAY before "ABDC Season 8" started. It features "Quest vs Kinjaz" in a "Final Fantasy" style battle. I'm not a fan of the game "Final Fantasy", so I don't completely understand everything that happens in this video... so it seems kind of cheesy. Coincidentally, "Quest" and "Kinjaz" happen to be in the "ABDC" Finals together right now.

"SuperCrew" - Backstage Look @ Final Performance



"SuperCrew" has made it to the finals along with "Kinjaz" and "Quest"! Just as I predicted in a previous post about this special season of "ABDC", these are the exact 3 crews I knew would be left in this dance competition. Also, as I said in that same post - I will be happy as long as "Quest" or "SuperCrew" wins, you can vote @ www.abdcvote.mtv.com very easily. Voting ends on Saturday, so you gotta watch this video and get a glimpse of how amazing these guys are and VOTE!

This is just one of "SuperCrews" behind-the-scenes looks at their creative process and practices. It also features thoughts from each member. They made these cool independent videos each week for every performance they did in each episode. In just this ONE behind-the-scenes clip, you can see how amazing these world class b-boys are. They are showing that breaking and freezing can be choreographed and done in sync perfectly. The guys are the BEST and they've been the front-runners of this competition from the very beginning. These are world class b-boys that should be representing The United States in the "Battle of the Year". Go to that link and vote - its simple and you can vote multiple times!

"Terminator Genisys" - Review



Thought it was over? Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in this 5th "Terminator" movie of this popular franchise, and once again, it's over complicated with the whole time travel element. The first 3 movies were directed by James Cameron, and those were the best films in the franchise! They were all connected as a trilogy, so it was much easier to follow the story line. Now, it just seems like the same plot over and over and the same villains we've seen before. Arnold is almost 70 years old, but with the help of some CGI graphics, they manage to make it look like Schwarzenegger hasn't aged that much since the first "Terminator" movie released over 30 years ago. Especially when he fights the 1984 version of himself in this film. This 5th installment of the "Terminator" franchise ties directly into the original 1984 film, wherein the "Terminator" is trying to kill "Sarah Connor" and "Kyle Reese" is sent back tin time to protect her. Obviously, these roles are played by different actors now, except for Arnold of course.

Hopefully this will be the last "Terminator" movie.... Not because it was a bad movie, but because I think Schwarzenegger is tapped out now and the audience is sick of seeing him play a time traveling robot sent back in time to either protect or kill "Sarah & John Connor". The cast members have changed several times over the course of this 30 year movie franchise, making it hard to keep up with who is playing these specific roles. Plus, "Kyle Reese" returns in this new film (who turns out to be "John Connor's" father) and "John" turns out to be evil.....Then you add time travel back or forth in each of these movies, and it gets too hard to follow the story line. It's a good action flick, but not nearly as good as the first 3 movies, so I give "Terminator Genisys" a  4 / 10.

White-Pride World-Wide



Lately, due to the area I live in - I'm constantly having problems with sterotypical blacks and their frustrating black ignorance. It's obviously a problem in this country, the statistics are right there for you to see. They have to talk like uneducated thugs, they speak loudly, dress inappropriately, and they all fly off the handle and lose control very easily. They are a less evolved species of human, I feel bad for the 10% of black people that actually behave normally and contribute to society. The other 90% of black are EXACTLY THE SAME - Every black male thinks he is going to be the next big rapper and thinks having the latest pair of sneakers is a status symbol. Every black female is rude, extremely loud, and has at least one baby from a deadbeat father.

They even brag that white people are "scared" of them. Of course white people don't want to live near ghetto, inconsiderate, loud & obnoxious blacks - they ruin every community they live in. In fact, their very presence in a neighborhood lowers the property value of those homes....that's a FACT, isn't that pathetic?! Blacks commit 25 times more violent assaults / murders against white people than whites against blacks. They are a dangerous, violent, cancer on society, and now we are running out of prison space for these dangerous & ignorant black convicts. It's an epidemic in America and more white people need to open their eyes and speak up.WE ARE NOT SCARED.

"Slow Learners" - Trailer



This movie has a very familiar and funny cast full of comedic actors from all sorts of fan-favorite / hit tv shows. Starring Adam Pally from the show "Happy Endings", and Sarah Burns, who has been featured in several shows including "New Girl" and "Flight of the Conchords". This will be both of their first time in a starring movie role. The cast for "Slow Learners" also includes Catherine Reitman, known from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and her small roles in several hit movies. Bobby Moynihan, who is a personal favorite comedic actor of mine, and he has also been in small roles in several big comedy films. So, I think it will be interesting to see all these funny television actors featured in a movie together in larger roles.

This trailer is hilarious, but I can't tell if it's going to be as good as it looks or as boring as it sounds in the description...? I think it's good for some solid laughs, I just hope it's not a slow-paced movie that's more of a 'chick-flick', than a 'rom-com'. I definitely want to see this film when it releases next week on August 19th. I'll post a review of this at some point I'm sure.

"American Ultra" - Trailer



As much as I hate to admit it.... I have a crush on Kristen Stewart. However, I can't stand Jesse Eisenberg, and this is the second time these two have starred together in a 'rom-com'. They were in "Adventureland" back in 2009, and I personally thought it was more dramatic than it needed to be for a romantic comedy. Based on the trailer above, this new movie looks far more promising. Its an action-comedy flick wherein Jesse Eisenberg's character is a sleeper cell gone rouge. The film is set to release on August 21, 2015 and I am Definitely going to see this and write a review afterwards. It looks  intense, action-packed, AND hilarious !

"Deadpool" - Official Trailer



I posted a leaked version of this trailer way back in November when I heard rumors of a "Deadpool" movie being released in the future. Unlike in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", this is the accurate, comic book version of "Deadpool". He's the "Merc with a Mouth".... and they sewed his mouth shut in that movie?? Ryan Reynolds is returning to play the character again, and do it right this time. After all, who better for this smart-ass, sarcastic, super hero that loves to talk and doesn't take anything too seriously, than Ryan Reynolds? He's the perfect cast for this invincible mercenary that never shuts up.

Another thing about the "Deadpool" comics, he stops and talks directly to the reader. It's called 'breaking the fourth wall' , so I wonder if Ryan Reynolds will stop and talk directly to the audience (like they did in the movie, "Funny Games"). This movie doesn't release until February 12, 2016 - I can't wait!

"Ted 2" - Review



The first "Ted" movie was released in 2012 and was a very successful comedy that appealed to a wide audience. It was never supposed to have a sequel, but these studios will release sequels for box office hits until they have sucked every penny out of the franchise. The first movie was a hilarious classic comedy... why isn't what enough ? This sequel felt forced and just repeated the plot from the first movie... "Ted" gets kidnapped again by that same creepy guy that kidnapped him in the original film (played by Giovanni Ribisi) and Mark Wahlberg's character has to save "Ted" all over again. The only difference is they replaced Mila Kunis (because the sequel wasn't planned!) with a new girl, "Sam Jackson" played by Amanda Seyfried. She is also "Ted's" lawyer in a civil rights case, fighting for "Ted" to be considered a real person with feelings and rights.

Other than that, it's basically the exact same movie with the same vulgar / crass humor. This time around, Seth McFarlane didn't put any focus on the plot, he just went over the top (as usual) and  went straight for that random, intentionally stupid humor for some cheap laughs.

There were a few parts of the movie I thought  were really funny, like the fight at "Comic-Con", their weird encounter with Tom Brady, and Liam Neeson buying "Trix" cereal. Thhrowing apples at people who pass by exercising made me literally laugh out loud. But this movie is nothing more than a transparent attempt to capitalize off the success of the original movie. I give "Ted 2" a 5/ 10, It's a funny movie, but it ends with a Teddy Bear adopting a infant baby...... it's lazy storytelling with a stupid ending and it's way too similar to the original movie.

"ABDC" Season 8 - "SuperCrew's" is going to WIN !



Just sit back and watch in awe of these AMAZING b-boys showing just a peek at what they can do! They are probably going to win, they were immediately placed in the TOP 3 crews competing this season, along with "Quest" and "Kinjaz". Out of the 7 members of "SuperCrew", only 4 of them were in the original group that won the Season 2 Championship. That includes Ronnie, B-boy Ben, Mike "Murdah" Carrasco, and Jon "Do-Knock" Cruz.

They have 3 new b-boys in their crew now, including: Steve Corral, Fabiano "Neguin" Lopes, and Gibrahimer "Little G" Tovar. The addition of these 3 guys improves the crew so much, including the addition of a whole new arsenal of power moves and tricks.

This is the type of b-boy crew that competes in breakdance battles, NOT  a choreographed group performance, but they are showing they can pull off choreographed b-boy moves as a group with perfect precision and in complete unison. They are truly the ambassadors of the b-boy culture. Their style is very different from "Quest's", but I love "SuperCrew" too! So, as long as either one of those dance crews wins this season, I'll be happy with the outcome.
