Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

Thought I would be watching better movies since summer started, but apparently, I'm like Kahia at a candy store, paralyzed by my indecision, choosing Twix when I probably really wanted to eat Snickers...


88 MINUTES - This little suspense thriller was actually pretty good. Al Pacino was in it. He's like David Caruso. I actually embrace their idiosyncrasies. Sounds gay, huh. Critics thrashed this movie, but I found it quite entertaining. 88 minutes to figure out who's killing everybody? What's not to like?

RISKY BUSINESS - Takin' it back to the old school. Before Tom Cruise was Tom Cruise. Huh? Didn't know this was a movie about ho-ing. Probably groundbreaking in the 80's. Kinda funny. Booger and Balki were in it. Rebecca DeMornay was the hooch. Good to see the origin of those Guitar Hero commercials...starring the one and only, Kobe "2009 World Champion" Bryant...

PROM NIGHT - Pretty good horror flick. For some reason, felt like I was watching an updated version of CARRIE. No-name actors. Corny story. Beautiful liked it. I thought it wasn't bad. Seen worse. Your basic stalker-chasing-around-some-teens movie. Like the genre and you'll probably like the movie...

ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA 2 - Okay, this movie sucked some Chun Wah Kam manapua a$$!! I don't get it at all. Yeah, the fighting may have been spectacular for its time. Yeah, Jet Li was in it. Anything else? I didn't enjoy it at all. Okay, maybe the fake-a$$ fighting. Other than that, the English translations were terrible. Laughable. Plus, didn't care for the history lesson. I'm Asian, but not that Asian. Like biting into a manapua and finding out that you're eating pussy...cat...

UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS - The prequel to all those hottie Kate Beckinsale vampire movies. With one exception...she wasn't in it!! They had a substitute hottie. She looked more vampish than Kate. And got down and dirty, unlike Kate. That's always a plus. Surprisingly, this was pretty good. Kept our attention. Doesn't take much, I guess. Maybe 'cause Wifey's part vampire and I'm full werewolf, we can relate...


Okay. Crappy movies. Need more quality as opposed to quantity. Too much spare time on my hands. $hitty movie viewing is inevitable. Where's all the summer blockbusters?
