RAMBO

Let’s face it peeps, Sly > Arnie. His roles are more memorable and unlike arnie; they carry on a legacy. Rocky was the shit even though some were garbage, Cop Land’s tight, i dont care what anybody says. Cliffhanger was cool, and alot of his other roles (though garbage they may be) are just gold. Even though he and his two other toadies who started Planet Hollywood are Republicans, I tip my hat to his corner.Anyways, RAMBO!FYI: Rambo in Japanese: (ranbou) ?? means violence! I saw part 2 a long time ago at a friends house, and all I remember thinking was, damn! this is cool! so I kinda liked Rambo, he had a cartoon that wasn’t half bad for a cartoon spinoff of an R-rated movie. The NES game sucked, it was a total ripoff of Zelda 2, and thats pretty much all i remember from the time Rambo rolled in to the desolate suburbs of spokane county. Anyway I’ll get to reviewing. First BloodJohn Rambo is an ex-green beret from vietnam turned drifter who wanders through a remote washington town (sultan i think), in search of a former member from his battalion, as he’s passing through, a power-hungry sheriff spots him and tells Rambo to leave, and Rambo flips out on not just the sheriff, but the whole town.3.9 out of 5Rambo: First Blood part 2For Rambo’s crimes, he gets put in a military prison. The US government finds that there are more POWs in Vietnam. Rambo gets hired by a bureaucrat to go and take pics of the prisoners… FUCK THAT! It’s Rambo we’re talking about, he’s going to rescue them and spill blood of the guilty ones. 1 oscar nomination and 5 razzie nominations?! This is 1 of the best action flicks in my opinion. Don’t believe hollywood.4.0 out of 5Rambo IIII’m not gonna bitch about chronology order. An old as dirt colonel gets put on a mission to rescue Afghanistan from being over run by Russians, enter Rambo to save him. It’s worth a peek but it’s got some cheesy dialogue and a little ridiculous in some parts.3.5 out of 5RAMBOHOLY SHIT! After watching everything that has to do with Rambo, you would definitely expect these elements in a Rambo movie these days: The violence just flatout crazy and there were disturbing parts. Anyway the story; good old Rambo has been at peace and living in Thailand. A group of missionaries come by and ask Rambo to take them up the river to a nazi esque Burma/Myanmar. I cant go any further because then I’ll have to type whole movie. It was good but it just didn’t quite cut the mustard. Rambo is Japanese for violence, and that’s what this movie delivers.3.95 out of 5A fifth one is on the way…Catch ya on the flipside

The Joker

After years of being a fan of Bob Kane’s vision of a superhero with a dark and haunted past, I begin to wonder who my favorite villain was… there’s too many.

A guy who wants vengeance by freezing everybody? NO

A refugee from Latin America who injects a steroidal compound into his skull? NO

A seductress with a fetish for felines? NO

A scientist who likes to deliver brain farts? No

A mutant juggernaut lurking in Gotham’s sewers?… ok he’s cool too (Killer Croc)

A psychopath with a profound vision of anarchy?

HELL YEAH!

That’s right the Joker. With an attitude as apathetic as the next, and a lone-wolf attitude to taking over, The Joker reigns supreme when all others have failed.

You’re probably thinking that I’m just another moron posting about how good the Dark Knight was, but I’m here to say that I had to say to the lot of you that Batman and the Joker haven’t been shown properly till this movie.

In the live-action show, the Joker was played by Cesar Romero as a joyful being  who just like to cause slightly bad problems.

Mark Hammill  got the character of the Joker down good but was way too comical to be thought of correctly as how the Joker is displayed.

Jack Nicholson definitely filled the void of where the psychoticness that is the Joker to a good spot, but lacked certain anger towards Gotham.

For so long, the media has displayed the Joker as some villain who’d willingly tell a joke at a hospital once he’s released.

But seriously,

 

Does this look like that kind of person?

Christopher Nolan’s vision of The Joker was spot on, he’s no comedian but a total psycho who would without hesitation open fire on a a sweet little kitten who would rub up against his leg.

Heath Ledger (RIP) had the right idea when preparing to play the Joker. He dug deep into insanity to see get a feel for what this character truly is. Explosives galore, chaos, an attitude that says, who gives a flying fuck about the rest of you? Not only did he play a magnificent Joker, but he played on of the most memorable roles by means of insanity. His role left us with a question that will make us question our own sanity…

Besides all that, he sucks in Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe

Catch ya ya on the flipside

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
