  • I, Frankenstein Review (From Someone Who Did Not See I, Frankenstein)

    When Frankenstein rises from the dead, there is revenge on his mind.

    I, Frankenstein stars Sgt. Michael Nantz from Battle: Los Angeles as the title character. He is an undead hero who is here to kick ass and say nothing about bubble gum. When a Columbian drug cartel kills his father, Frank travels to South America to avenge his loss. He gets caught up in a revolution by the citizens who want to be free of the tyrannical control of drug-raged werewolves headed by Benicio del Toro, reprising his roles from Wolf and Escobar at the same time.

    The movie really picks up when he joins forces with twins Percy and Mary Shelley to infiltrate the wolves’ compound. There are plenty of nods to action classics like Lionheart, Cyborg, Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Hard Target, Universal Soldier, Timecop and Double Impact. Lots of kicks to faces and groins.

    Things get complicated when Frank’s former bride is revealed to be a wolf in disguise. She sides with the cartel to help take down her ex-husband. The citizens start to question Frank’s character when a story about his past comes to light about him killing a girl trying to give him a flower. Frank is able make them believe it was all a mistake and got therapy.

    The final showdown is a huge fight between Frank and the town citizens against the wolves who have taken a concentrated dose of a special drug name AbbyNormal.

    Get ready for the best Frankenstein vs. drugged up wolf movie ever. You will be blown away.

     

  • Weekend Box Office- January 24-26, 2014

    People decided to ride along with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube again this weekend. Before you judge me for that horrible beginning please be gentle. It is early and I have no excuse for it.

    After setting the record for biggest January opening, Ride Along easily kept the top spot with $21.1 million with January’s other big story, Lone Survivor, poised to cross $100 million next week.

    There was only one new release this week. I, Frankenstein could not even keep up with the horrid first week of The Legend of Hercules only bringing in $8.2 million. Both of those movies were released by Lionsgate, although I am sure the studio is not worried as they sit on the mound of cash from The Hunger Games franchise.

    1. Ride Along- $21.1 million/ $75.4 million

    2. Lone Survivor- $12.6/ $93.6

    3. The Nut Job- $12.3/ $40.2

    4. Frozen- $9.0/ $347.8

    5. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit- $8.8/ $30.1

    6. I, Frankenstein- $8.2/ $8.2

    7. American Hustle- $7.1/ $127.0

    8. August: Osage County- $5.0/ $26.5

    9. The Wolf of Wall Street- $5.0/ $98.0

    10. Devil’s Due- $2.7/ $12.8

    There is no long, drawn out explanation for I, Frankenstein. Monster is awakened 200 years after his creation and fights demons that look like Disney’s Gargoyles. The cast is not bad. I laughed some. Don’t laugh. We aren’t supposed to laugh I think. It’s being serious. Come on.

    I laughed.

    I, Frankenstein releases on January 24, 2014.

    The Princess Bride Turns 25 And Johnny Depp In A Tim Burton Movie? Who Could Have Guessed?!

    Dark Shadows

    This movie didn’t exactly light the box office on fire and critics were less than kind but this movie wasn’t as bad as it was made out to be. Nothing like the old soap opera but still a bit memorable. On the low end of the Burton/Depp list but it has it’s moments.

    Universal’s Classic Monsters Collection

    For the first time on Blu-Ray in one complete set. Including the classics Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Phantom of the Opera and The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

    Cinderella

    Disney releases another one of their classics on Blu-Ray. Hurry before it disappears into Disney’s imaginary “vault” only to come back later to sell again.

    Pet Sematary

    As dopey as some parts of this movie seems I still can’t help but want to watch it every year around Halloween. How many time can you watch a dead child slit Herman Munster’s tendons? Apparently a lot for me.
