MikeyRocks says "Action Packed" about Wanted

MikeyRocks — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:01:02 GMT

Wanted is based off the the Wanted comic book. There's two important things to know about this movie 1) It's nowhere near as good as the comics 2) but that doesn't mean it can't be fun to watch. The effects are great for this movie, there are so many different action packed scenes in this movie. Plot wise it's much weker than the comic books, however, it's still better than the typical movie plot.

In summary if you're looking for a movie that's better than the typical acion flick, but don't have huge expecations off of the comic books you'll really enjoy this movie. It's like die hard times 10.

MikeyRocks says "Every kid should have this!" about Hasbro Connect Four

I've recently been reminded of how entertaining this game was when I was given the opportunity to play this game against my good friend's little brother. It's one of those games that doesn't matter what your age is you'll continue to have fun with it.

Kids will love it and learn planning from this game. Adults will love it too, one of the few games I believe adults and children can play together.

MikeyRocks says "Overrated" about Oceans Twelve - Widescreen

How do you manage to get some of the best actors of our decade and put them all together on one movie and still have the movie be utter garbadge.

Watch Ocean's Twelve and you'll find out.

Without giving too many spoilers this movie has a horrible plot that makes little or no sense and tries to cover it up by having twists and turns. To the untrained viewer it appears that there is merely a complicated film. But viewing it more than once it quickly becomes clear that this emperor has no clothes.

The only reason that this film warrants an average rating is because you can enjoy it if you just like seeing famous actors...but that's about it. Sure you can see it once and laugh at how utterly plotless it is and ohhh and ahh at the famous actors and actresses who are in this movie (there's plenty of them) but don't bother buying the DVD...seeing the film more than once doesn't help any.

MikeyRocks says "The power to be anybody you want to be" about Pretender - The Complete First Season

MikeyRocks — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:48:53 GMT

The Pretender is a great tv show with one of the best concepts out there. Jarod is a genius who "pretends" to be anybody he wants to be, doctor, race car driver, policeman etc.

The story telling, characters, including the antagonists are all great. Most episodes stick to some similar format where the Pretender uses his intelligence to outsmart and get revenge on the bad guys with the Centre(evil corporation) chasing them down.

The first season, especially, is great since after a few seasons the formula gets tiring and they never had an actual finale. On the matter of whether or not you should buy the DVD I would say it's a great show. But it's free on Hulu right now so it might be worth your money. The show is one that is worth repeat viewing especially a few specific and great episodes. It's a shame the TV show was canceled.

MikeyRocks says "Action-Packed, Fun, but not story heavy" about x-men origins wolverine movie

MikeyRocks — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:46:37 GMT

X-men Wolverine Origins is a great movie, but only for the type of people who can enjoy this type of movie. And by this type I mean the action packed, Michael Bay type movies. Hugh Jackson is a great actor and I can't imagine anyone else playing Wolverine. However, the movie isn't for people looking for plot heavy story telling. Additionally, comic books fans and fans of the original movie might be offended at how many liberties the movie takes in regards to the canon. So to actually enjoy this movie you gotta go in with the right attitude of just watching this movie to have fun and as a standalone from any existing stories on Wolverine. If you do that you will have a fun time watching this movie though!
