The first Harold and Kumar movie was a surprise hit, and somehow combined mature and immature humor at the same time. It’s one of my favorites and I can usually watch it repeatedly without getting bored. Therefore, I was definitely looking forward to the sequel when Harold would finally be with Maria in Amsterdam.
Obviously the government had other plans. As usual Kumar’s love for weed messes things up and the duo end up in Guantanamo Bay. Their subsequent escape and journey through the south in search of rescue provides some good laughs and entertainment. However, the comedy may have gotten a little too immature.
For those who think “fart humor” can be a little much you may get annoyed with this movie. Although there’s not much, its can be funny or annoying depending on the viewer. There is also a lot of complete nudity, which seemed to be unnecessary. But other than that, the movie was pretty good. I did laugh quite a bit, and as usual the sequence wasn’t as good as the original.
The Story of Ricky is one of the most entertaining movies I’ve seen in a long time. It is about a man with super strength, Ricky, that is sent to prison: His girlfriend got killed, so he avenged her death. The prison that Ricky is sent to is run like a business; the warden uses the prisoners as slaves and kills them without any hesitation. There are Four gangs in the prison and each of them have their own boss. When Ricky notices how corrupt the prison is, he uses his two fists to clean it up.
My synopsis is basically the whole storyline. I would rate the story 6/10, because a lot of things didn’t make sense; however, it doesn’t matter, because Story of Ricky is all about extreme violence and cheesy effects. This movie was made in 1991, so there was limited special effects; as a result, the action scenes seem unrealistic. Whenever Ricky fights, his fists usually rip through the opponent’s body and just tears them up. The best thing about this movie is how much fake gore it has; in one scene Ricky puts somebody into a meat grinder, and after they directed that scene there was so much fake blood that the actor couldn’t wash himself off for 2 days.
In conclusion, if you like movies that have no storyline, but are entertaining because of it’s unique special effects, Story of Ricky is a must watch!
This is 1/9 of the full movie. You can watch the rest on youtube!
If you like the movie Godzilla and Blairwitch project, you will love this. Cloverfield is about a monster that attacks New York City and completely destroys it. The style of this movie is like a documentary; one of the characters filming with a home video camera, so it’s very first person. Because the frames are really shakey, Cloverfield seems like a roller coaster ride: If you can’t focus on multiple objects, then you might get sick.
The best thing about Cloverfield, is the computer generated background. The city is really well done, and the action scenes are really realistic; however, there wasn’t enough action. More than half of the movie involves the main characters running around New York. This movie was far from being anywhere close to scary, and there was only a handful of scenes that had some suspense.
The storyline of this movie went by too fast. I wanted to see more of the monster and why it was there. Cloverfield leaves many questions unanswered, but theres always room for Cloverfield 2. Overall, this movie was unique because of the way it was filmed, but didn’t deliver as much as it could have.
I can’t believe how bad this movie was. I saw Jay Chou’s The Secret and expected this movie to be decent. How can you mess up Kung Fu mixed with basketball? Apparently, Asian people know how. This movie had irrelevant scenes and tried to include everything into one: It had action, romance, and comedy. Kung Fu Dunk tried too hard to give the audience every genre in one. But in the end all I got sadness, for wasting my time to watching this movie.
The computer graphics in this movie are ridiculously cheesy; it screams low budget. Jay Chou was flying in the air, and it seemed he was getting held up by ropes. Additionally, the tallest person they had in that movie was like 5′9″. Ok, basketball players in Asia are almost ALL over 6′3″. It doesn’t matter what you play; you have to be that tall-to compensate for skill. Jay Chou is 5′8″, sorry bro, you must be over 6′ to ride.
I shouldn’t be surprised at Kung Fu Dunk’s failure, because generally Asian movies aren’t as good as American ones. I really regret not checking the IMDB’s rating before I watched it.
