R.I.P.D **

Rest in Peace is a very good name for this movie. It started out with promise I was laughing it had some well written lines. Then around half way through it just died (no pun intended). the laughter left there were some good lines delivered by Ryan Reynold who has great comedic timing. but it wasn't enough to save this movie. I don't know who Jeff Bridges was trying to channel but he missed! He reminded me of Yosemite Sam for the loony tunes cartoons. He was just ridiculous. I wish they would have given more lines to the people who played what they looked like to everyone else because those few moments were pretty funny. Maybe before they start a movie with just an idea they should have more then the beginning written. I'm sure that's not what happened but that's what the movie portrays. They had a well written , funny beginning with a great new concept but they didn't know where to go with it. Also that big guy they were chasing in the beginning I swear to you that's the guy who played Buzz (the big brother)in home alone.I'm tiring to confirm that it is true but as of now I really just think its him. Any-who I got side tracked lol.....I didn't even like Kevin Bacon in this movie which is blasphemy because I always like Kevin but, its not his fault his charater was written half ass there was no depth to it. I don't know maybe I'm just asking to much of writer's. I have been spoiled by the great writer's of the 80's that cared about having a well rounded script. What are they teaching in film school? Maybe they should really rethink there curriculum. Because if they don't we are going to have a bunch of shallow half ass movies that bomb at the box office and you people (Hollywood folk) are going to stare with mouths a gap thinking I don't understand how did this movie fail......when will you understand you can't just put a pretty face i.e. Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds ....  in the lead role and expect it to cover the fact your writing sucks (unless your writing a movie like Magic Mike). I just think that this movie could have been great if they would have had a better story. The concept was cool and unique but horribly written.

added note: I was right the big guy "Pulaski" is played by none other then Devin Ratray the big brother buzz from home alone. score one point for me lol

World War Z *** 1/2

I gave the movie three and a half stars the half is just for Brad Pitt being in the movie because he is just great to watch. So the movie actually only got three stars because I felt like I was watching it in fast forward the whole time. I mean the zombies moved super humanly fast. You were once a regular human so once you turn you should only beable to move as fast as a humans body can move not like a gazelle on crack. But aside from the super fast zombies and the sub par acting (not including Brad) I liked the story. I thought the idea of camouflage was cool and different. On a creepy meter I give it a 4 the teeth chattering bugged me out it reminded me of all the nightmares I had after watching Hellraiser yikes. I did think that the bat sonar sounds they made was different and the clicking almost like they were blind that was neat. But I only jumped in the first 10 min after that it wasn't really scary. I think the slower zombies are scarier cause you can see more of what's happening. This was not my favorite zombie movie but definitely not my least favorite (cough Abraham vs zombies or zombie massacre cough) . But also is not my favorite either I don't think i'll be watching this one again. So until next time thank you for reading.
