Sorry for the Terminator Salvation Delay. Enjoy

All I can say to the new Terminator Salvation movie is WOW!!! This movie had so much hype on it there was no way it could live up to all of it, but I was extremely entertained from the very beginning. The director assumed the majority of the individuals watching this movie had previously seen the other Terminator movies and therefore didn’t waste excessive amount of time attempting to explain the characters, plot, and setting to the Lehman terminator fan. This was definitely a plus for me as an action enthusiast since there was so much amazing action that was packed into all that extra free time in the movie that wasn’t wasted on the previous elements.
Christian Bale has pulled off yet another amazing action role, with I might add a impressive supporting performance by Sam Worthington as the hybrid human/robot. Even with Bale’s impressive performance he wasn’t the biggest star in the movie. This title goes the CGI version of the governator himself. The CGI created version of the original Terminator appears later in the movie and you can just feel the build up of expectation in the theater rising like a tide on a full moon. When the CGI version of Arnold steps out, you know Jon Connor is about to get his ass kicked.
Still as much as I was impressed by this movie I was somewhat disappointed due to the fact they decided to go with the PG-13 rating for the movie. This is the dumbest decision in action movie history since they let candy ass Kevin Costner make the big budget movie Water World. How the hell are you going to make a movie about a future war between military robots and humans PG-13. The only action movies you can give a PG-13 rating to and get away with it are westerns. This is just another way for Hollywood to sell out the action movie genre, that and letting Tom Cruise play in any action movie role. Fortunately, I have heard rumors of a release of a directors cut that will have all of the deleted footage from the original rated R version.
All in all, this entire movie can definitely add a few points to your man card and entertain you at the same time. The scene with Arnold was money in the bank and definitely worth it for me alone to see this movie. I give this movie a 3.5 out 5 Testosterone Level, which means get your ass to the theater as soon as possible.

Terminator Salvation. WOW!!!!

The weather is too awesome today in Kentucky for me to be inside writing up a review on the movie, so plan on a full review sometime in the near future. It was an excellent movie and for those of you who don't want to wait on my review I highly recommend you go and see it.

Wal-Mart $5 bin = Awesomeness

The Wal-Mart 5 dollar bin is the greatest thing since Steven Seagal for action movie fans. Whether you are a new action movie collector or a seasoned veteran, there are always excellent buys located here. The secret is to make sure you take the proper amount of time to weed through all the Spanish language, Keanu Reeves, and Kevin Costner movies to find those hidden action movies that are like valuable artifacts.
Along with the 5 dollar bin, Wal-Mart has started selling these action movie packages, such as the double action pack. Action movie packages are an excellent way to build up your collection, especially if you have an action movie star preference.

Obscure Classic Movie #1: Showdown in Little Tokyo

Showdown in Little Tokyo is a good movie that every man should have in his cheesy action movie collection. It stars the always bad ass Dolph Lundren who gained some serious street cred in the action movie industry as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. Along with Dolph you also have Bruce Lee's son Brandon Lee who we know from the movie the Crow in which he died while making. This adds to the value of this movie by making it one of the only movies you will ever see the amazing action ability of Brandon Lee in.

What makes this movie a hidden gem was that it was created back during those wonderful early 90's when production studios were throwing tons of money at action movies no matter how cheesy they were. What this movie lacks in quality acting, dialogue, and plot it more than makes up for in insane high budget explosions and action sequences. There are no weak CGI explosions or gun fights in this movie, just pure testosterone producing explosions at almost the same level as Terminator 2. This movie has enough shit blowing up in it that Michael Bay would orgasm while watching it.

Now as I previously eluded to, and you might have guessed, this movie lacks much of a plot. Still the underground samurai drug cartel taking over LA is enough to keep the movie going. As for the dialogue, its so over the top that it actually becomes somewhat of a positive for this movie by providing the viewer with an added element of humor that I believe is part of the charm of this movie. Along with the dialogue, the "buddy cops who go about executing justice differently" relationship developed by Dolph and Brandon adds to the movie's enjoyment. Now I wouldn't go so far as to say this buddy cop relationship rivals that of Danny Glover's and Mel Gibson's in Lethal Weapon, but it ain't bad.

Finally, when reviewing a man movie one must also review the women that are in the movie. In Showdown in Little Tokyo you have the gorgeous Tia Carrere. Tia produces some pretty memorable scenes in this movie and has quite possibly one of the best chick lines in an action movie I've ever heard. I'm sure you can figure out the line after watching this movie and it's so awesome you might even request your girlfriend to use it. Along with Tia, you have a large number of other hot ladies to entertain you in between scenes with Dolph killing someone or blowing something up. Well, hope you enjoy this movie and if you don't then hopefully I can make a better recommendation for you next time. Also, Terminator Salvation review coming soon.

I give this movie a 4.0 out of 5.0 Testoserone level

Introduction

Hey out there to all lovers of action movies. My name is Seth and as you might have guessed I enjoy action movies and other guy movies. My blog is dedicated to making an evaluation of these movies weekly. Each week I will post an evaluation and recommendation of a great classic action movie to pick up and hopefully do an evaluation of a new action movie opening that week. Periodically you will have contributions to this blog from my friends Jon and Ryan. Jon is an excellent enthusiast of classic action movies and is an excellent critic of new movies and Ryan has a unique ability of finding hidden action movie gems that even I have never seen. I am fully aware that my blog is just as subjective as all other critic sites but I do believe I am able to evaluate a movie on a more reasonable level since I am only comparing it to other action movies and not some lame ass artistic movie that no guy would ever watch. Thank you for checking my blog out. Hopefully we have similar tastes in movies so that I may aid you in deciding whether or not to see that new movie and give you ideas of awesome classic movies to check out.
