"Hot Tub Time Machine 2" - Review

"Hot Tub Time Machine 2" was incredibly confusing and just as stupid as the first one. The previews made it look funny, but it's like a complicated version of "Back 2 The Future". It has pretty much the same plot as that movie, and it's very similar to the original "Hot Tub Time Machine" released in 2010. Except in the sequel, they accidentally go 10 years into the future in an attempt to go back in time and stop "Lou" from getting shot. Adam Scott is introduced in the future as John Cusack's son, "Adam Jr." and Cusack is only in the movie for 30 seconds at the very end....

The movie pretty  much picks up where the last one ended. "Nick", played by Craig Robinson, is a famous musician and owns his own record label but begins to feel guilty about ripping off famous songs before they're ever created. "Lou", played by Rob Corddry, is still an asshole and still rich after inventing "Lougle" (he ripped off Google). He also stole the hot tub time machine from the original movie and put it in his house and figured out a way to synthesize the chemical that allowed them to time travel in the first place. Now, they can time travel as much as they want.

At the end of the movie, they discover "Adam" was the one who shot "Lou" out of revenge for something he does 10 years in the future.... Told you it was stupidly complicated. So, this time it's "Lou" that flickers if he messes with the space time continuum and they end up saving his life / existence while becoming best friends n the process... (of course).But at the very end of the film, John Cusack pops up and shoots "Lou" in the head.....? Then they reveal there are tons of alternate dimensions with tons of alternate versions of themselves. I thought this was supposed to be a silly comedy, but it's hard to follow what's going on and there is absolutely no character development. It was a giant disappointment just as I predicted, so I give this sequel a  5 /10.

"Batman vs Superman" at Super Cafe

Of course, there is a "HISHE" clip about the upcoming "Superman vs Batman" movie entitled, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice". The movie doesn't release for another year, but there is already so much hype building up to the release of this film. "Batman & Superman" sit down at the "Super Cafe" just like they always do, and they discuss this movie before it even releases. They argue who would win in a fight between the two of them. They also have different ideas for the movie title. Funny Clip!

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (Trailer)

The rumors are true, there is going to be a "Batman vs Superman" movie! Henry Cavill from "Man of Steel" will reprise his role as "Superman", and Ben Afleck will take his turn in playing "Batman". I don't know if there is going to be another "Batman" trilogy starring Ben Afleck or if this is a sequel to "Man of Steel". I think Ben Affleck is a good casting choice for "Batman" with that defined chin of his. The film is being pitched as a 'versus' movie between these two heroes, but that wouldn't make sense. "Superman" could just obliterate "Batman" with his laser eyes or his alien strength, (He is literally invincible.... it's not a fair fight). I bet they fight at first, before deciding to team up and take down "Lex Luthor", played by the annoying Jessie Eisenberg. There is also rumors that there may be appearances from other "Justice League" members, such as "Auquaman" and "Wonder Woman". The film doesn't release until summer 2016 because the studio didn't want to release it the same year as "The Avengers" sequel. So, it's going to be another year before we see "The Man of Steel" & "The Dark Knight" on screen together.

How "The Dark Knight Rises" Should Have Ended

Another "HISHE" clip about how "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" should have ended. This one is hilarious - it pokes fun at "Batman" and shows alternate endings to specific scenes in the movie. It shows how they could have easily thwarted "Bane's" evil plans. For example, "Fox" could have flooded the chamber and destroyed the neutron bomb as well as possibly drowning "Bane". But instead, he actually helps them activate the device. Why did "Batman" get beaten by "Bane" so badly, when he has a utility belt full of gadgets and weapons? All he did was shoot some fireworks at "Bane" and turn the lights out..... Also, sending ALL of "Gotham's" police force down into the sewers to find one guy was a stupid plan. At the end of the clip, "Batman" sits down with "Superman" at the "Super Cafe" just like always, to discuss the movie. "Superman" points out the holes in the story and wonders how he is still alive after breaking his back and getting stabbed. (I especially like the part where "Robin" finds his suit).

"Workaholics" - Season 5 Review

"Workaholics" just ended its long-awaited 5th season, and it didn't really live up to all the hype... (see photos above) It's unfortunately only 13 episodes long, and the season finale sucked and totally contradicted previous episodes. However, there are still a few really good episodes and cool guest appearances this season. There are already some fan-favorites; such as, "Speedo Racer" - wherein "Anders" gets impaled by a trophy and we get to see "The DERS" again for the first time since season 3! "Front Yard Wrestling", features Ben Stiller as their landlord and he fights the guys in a front yard wrestling match, "Gramps DeMamp is Dead", features Jack Black as "Adam's" wild, irresponsible father who turns out to be his older brother in an odd twist, and Dolph Lundgren is featured briefly in "Blood Drive" as himself. Despite all those funny episodes, my favorite one by far is "Peyote it Forward", the episode where the guys are tripping on peyote while they're at work and put in charge of watching an 8 year old kid for the day. It's the best episode of the season, and one of their best episodes EVER in my opinion.

The three main characters and  their drug dealer are actually the creators/ producers/ directors/ writers of the show too, just like with "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". Except in this show, they all use their real names with a slight change like, "Anders Holmvik" is played by Anders Holm, "Blake Henderson" is played by Blake Anderson, "Adam DeMamp" is played by the hilarious Adam DeVine, and "Karl Hevacheck" is played by Kyle Newacheck (he also directs the majority of the episodes). Sometimes they will all collaborate on writing an episode together, and sometimes it will be an episode written completely by just one out of the four guys. They're young, creative, comedic geniuses and real life best friends that turned a small TV show they thought would be cancelled after the first season, into a hit series that has lasted 5 seasons on "Comedy Central" and grown more and more in popularity.

They make no secrets about smoking herb on and off camera. They have episodes about doing almost EVERY drug over the course of five seasons. Including,  cocaine, acid, steroids, ecstasy (or "molly"), PCP (embalming fluid), bath salts, mushrooms, and of course; marijuana and alcohol in every episode. Just when I thought they had done everything, they added peyote to the list this season. This is definitely an adult show that plays late at night on "Comedy Central". (Also available for download)

How "Star Trek: Into Darkness" Should Have Ended

Another new "HISHE" video, and this one shows how "Star Trek 2: Into Darkness" should have ended. I absolutely loved the "Star Trek" sequel, but this clip points out some big holes in the story. Like, how uncovering "Kahn's" portable beaming device eliminates the need for those giant space ships, and why were they only able to bring "Jim" back to life with "Kahn's" blood.? They couldn't create a serum using his blood and mass produce it so no one would ever die...? It also points out how the sexy, Australian actress, Alice Eve was half naked in the movie and it gets more than "Jim Kirk's" attention. Check this one out - I'll post more of the new clips on here.

How "X-Men: Days of Future Past" Should Have Ended

This brand new episode of "How It Should Have Ended", or simply "HISHE"; is about the latest "X-Men" movie - "Days of Future Past" (Movie Review on this blog).This one is hilarious and points out that "Magneto" is actually "Quicksilver's" father, but the movie just kind of skimmed over that fact......It also points out that they should have brought "Quicksilver" with them to stop "Mystique" - that would have been much easier. I've posted a bunch of "HISHE" videos on here in the past because they're funny, satirical, animated versions of "Marvel" & "DC" characters from different movies. At the end of every "HISHE" video, the super-heroes sit down with "Batman" and "Superman" at the "Super Cafe" to answer questions about their movie, it's the dialogue that makes it so funny.!

Ryan Reynolds Interview About New "Deadpool" Movie

I'm So glad I found this exclusive interview with Ryan Reynolds confirming the rumors of a "Deadpool" movie in the works. He also talks about how it's NOT going to be the same "Mutant X / Deadpool" we saw in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", now he's gong to be the "Deadpool" all of us comic book nerds know & love. Fans were upset because it was a wildly inaccurate depiction of "Deadpool" in that film, and it didn't match the comic book version. Ryan Reynolds played "Deadpool" in that movie as well, and he actually did a good job in the first half of that movie. I think he's the perfect casting choice to play a bad-ass, super mercenary that never stops running his mouth.

I posted the original trailer for this movie a few months ago on here. It's so exciting to hear that they're actually making this movie,  and making it the right way! Ryan Reynolds also addresses the rating for this film that features such a violent, graphic, and explicit comic book character, and Reynolds confirms it's not really a "family movie" in this silly interview on "EXTRA" where "Deadpool" kills Mario Lopez for even suggesting a PG-13 rating ! If it's going to be a true "Deadpool" movie, it's definitely got to be rated R.

It looks like we are going to get to see the REAL "Deadpool" on the big screen, Ryan Reynolds is in the filming process right now and the movie releases sometime in 2016 - I can't wait!

"The Walking Dead" - Season 5 Review

One of the most popular shows on TV right now, "The Walking Dead" just finished its 5th season! It's definitely a show that you have to watch from the very beginning in season one to truly appreciate and understand this series. Trying to start watching now would be confusing..... you wouldn't know the back-story of all these different characters and how they all came together. Not to mention, to fully appreciate the complexities of this show and how far it has come over 5 seasons; it's a MUST to start watching from episode one. It's an enthralling, Golden Globe & Emmy Award-winning television show that has gotten the attention of EVERYONE by now...

Season 5 was the most intense and satisfying season thus far, and the season finale didn't end on a huge cliffhanger for the first time. In fact, the last episode ended on sort of a positive note - "Rick Grimes" was able to convince "Deanna" and everyone in the town that they have to start doing things HIS way. "Rick" and his group are  true survivors and they know what has to be done. They have been running from place to place for 4 seasons against seemingly impossible odds and the loss of group members along the way. By now, the remaining group members are hardened survivors that will do anything it takes to stay  alive. "Carol", "Glenn", "Daryl", "Carl", and "Rick" have been together from the very beginning, and they have added and lost several members along the way to end up with this current team in Season 5. I was surprised to see that "Tyrell" died this season, even though he actually plays a big role in the comic book version of "The Walking Dead". I knew "Bob" would die eventually and the rest of the characters that died were just introduced earlier in this season, like "Noah" and "Deanna's" family.

It's amazing to see the contrast of these characters from season one to season five. Especially "Rick", he transforms from a naive, trusting, weak leader to a crazed, bearded, survivalist that doesn't trust ANYONE. All regular rules of society no longer exist, it's now survival of the fittest and "Rick" has finally embraced that over the course of time and all the crazy, terrible situations he has found himself and his group/ family in. They almost died this season at "Terminus" before finding true sanctuary at "Alexandria" - a secure town where they meet "Deanna", a former congress woman in charge of this walled-in sanctuary. She has no idea what life is like beyond her walls until "Rick" and his group arrive.

In the finale, "Morgan" from season one shows up and sees "Rick" for the first time since he was that confused, naive, regular guy by himself in the first episode. Just looking at "Morgan" brings back a piece of humanity in "Rick" he still had left when they originally met. Since then, "Rick" has forgotten what "normal life" is like, but part of his normalcy resurfaces upon the long anticipated return of "Morgan".

"Brickleberry" is BACK....For 3 Final Episodes

"Brickleberry" is back.... briefly. The last three episodes from the final season never got a chance to air on television because the network cancelled the show. So, it ended with a lackluster series finale, which was a disappointment to fans. Now, for whatever reason; "Comedy Central" is bringing this awesome show back for the final 3 episodes from the third season and then it goes where good TV shows go to die before they've reached their full potential.

It's bittersweet news; because I'm excited to see these never-released episodes of one of my favorite adult cartoons, but also bummed out the show is still cancelled. So after Season 3 is finished properly, "Brickleberry" will be officially cancelled.
