133. The Day After Tomorrow

         So I know its been awhile since I blogged. Has anyone even noticed? oh Well. I dont know if its been that its summer, the sun is out, its hot outside and I wish it was snowing instead but here are back on the blog.  With the snow on my mind I decided to bust out the best snow movie ever The Day After Tomorrow.  And if you know me at all, I LOVE DISASTER MOVIES!
        TDAT is the one amazing movie. I love this film. Yes, I love snow, Yes I love disaster movies but this one is very very good. The storming centers around a father (Randy Quaid) a climitalogist and the end of the world ultimate snow storm. On top of the storm his son (Prince of Persia himself Jake Gyllenhaal) is trapped in a the public library of NYC. He sets out on a quest to rescue him.
       Day After is from the same mind and groups have brought you Independence Day and 2012. It has a great mix of humor, action, disaster, and dramatic elements. Yes, disaster movies are not realistic. Movies are for an escape and I love movies that the grand spectacle of these movies. This is one is awesome and makes you crave a Wendy's Frosty ever time I watch it. Oh, and it looks AMAZING! on blu-ray.

Final Verdict: Worth Owning.

Does anyone read these?

59. Battle:Los Angeles

10 minutes into this movie. The movie about Aliens that attack Earth and the group of Marines that lead a charge to lead a group of civilians to safety and take back their city. So 10 minutes into this movie I turn and look at my wife and simply say…..”We are going to buy this.”

There are, I have found, certain movies that as soon as it starts you just start to feel something special, you get so engrossed right away that you know you will want to watch it again and again. For example this has happened to me in such movies as Twister, Dark Knight and The Blind Side. Battle:Los Angeles is awesome. So action packed. It is one of those movies that is non stop action. It stars Aaron Eckhart (two face in Dark Knight) as the leader of this group of marines. Eckhart is a man’s man. Don’t need nothing but a gun and a fight.

Our Hero.



But Battle:LA works when some Aliens are attacking might fail. Skyline for example was horrible. But in the same movie family as Armageddon and Independence Day Battle:LA makes you want to win. Makes you want the Marines to continue. Not to mention that filmmakers here do an outstanding job portraying the Marines as the courageous patriots that they are. While it is a “guy movie” Battle:LA is awesome and the best movie I have seen thus far in 2011. Can't wait for the sequel. Maybe it will be Battle:St. Louis!

Final Verdict: Can't wait to own it!
