To those whom have been faithful here to MooViewZ, I have moved and integrated the "brand" so to speak with REV-Gaming. These reviews posted here, for the most part can be located there, also new reviews will be posted there as well.

New location will be here : http://www.rev-gaming.info

I have created a new forum category dedicated to media, I included MooViewZ as a part of that forum transition to save some $ and also to generate more interest to REV-Gaming. Might not sound like a lot of $, but 3 domain names and a server that costs 120$ a month, is a little up there. ;D Regardless, come join us and thank you for all your views. [This will still be here, slight possibility it may be used.]

The Bounty Hunter

A r u c a r D . [ R ] . Filed Under:

Watching the trailer to this was downright funny, the movie itself... Meh. It had its moments of comedy, for the most part it was filled with romance. Of course the movies falls under the genre of a romantic comedy, but this one took it a bit too far in the romance aspect.

Coming from the director of the hit movie Hitch, I was expecting ALOT more comedy than what was actually put into the movie. But it let down in that department and even as cute as a lovey dubby movie may be, it just did not pull me in as Hitch did.

An all too familiar tale in divorces, someone becomes consumed with their work, neglects the other, the other feels rejected, unwanted and it becomes hell. On the other hand, the other person sees the ignorance in one persons ways, sees the childishness, the foolish way of being and that determines why they leave.

In the end it just felt like they never were divorced, more so a normal separation which happens all too often with couples nowadays. So all in all, if you have been in a relationship before, a serious one, then you know the story all too well. Problem with that is, that this is supposed to take you away from that scenario and put you in a more comedic element, where you can laugh about certain things and see them a little lighter than they are. Instead of thinking about the person you just had those moments with.

The movie was not bad, but it wasn't as light as it should have been. For all you romance lovers, this is definitely a movie for you. Romantic comedy lovers, I do not believe you will be enticed by the comedy, but may be drawn to the romance.

Website [Coming Soon]

A r u c a r D . [ R ] . Filed Under:
As the blog garners more and more attention, I saw it only fit for this to become what it truly can. I am currently working on its own website, so that the users can have a true place to go instead of just having to type in a long ass name in the address bar.

The website domain has already been purchased, hosting has already been found, only thing required right now is for the folder to be setup, which once done I will be migrating these posts over there. Stay tuned for more information, I will be revealing the website hopefully within the next few days.

Thank you for everything.. It will be back bigger and better, now on to reviewing The Bounty Hunter. :)

Alvin and The Chipmunks The Squeakuel

A r u c a r D . [ R ] . Filed Under:

I must admit I have always loved the animated series of the original chipmunks. I was never a fan of the chippettes, even though they were the counter-parts to the originals, I viewed them as just a female replacement.

In this movie they tried to separate them and make them into their own individual characters and they succeeded in doing so. Initially you could see the same exact pattern from the originals to the girls, but they branched out into their own when Brittany [Lead Chippette] decided to stick up to Alvin and say he truly does not care of anyone but himself. [As if we did not know this already.]

The movie has a very good moral to it, some good humor and definitely is geared towards the younger generation and not us original fans. Beyonce's single ladies and Flo Ridas right round were the main titles for the movie and they delivered in giving the movie watcher some musical excitement.

One major flaw I saw with the movie was the lack of Dave in it. He was hurt in the beginning of the movie and did not come back into play until the end. I know it was supposed to show some character development for the chipmunks, but if they truly were trying to base this family wise as they obviously did, they should have included him a little bit more.

7 / 10 A solid family movie, everyone loves the chipmunks.

Zombies of Mass Destruction

A r u c a r D . [ R ] . Filed Under:

Now this was a movie worth watching. After all of the stupid ass zombie movies to be released as of late, all with shitty scripts, terrible acting, shitty CGI and even worse some with no real makeup effects, this was the SHIT.

Completely unexpected, it was at often times hilarious and the poster saying a political zomedy was perfect. It touches base on many simple things in the movie, even though the movie in itself is a joke. Zombie terrorist attack? That even sounds ridiculous, but not for this movie. Sounds just right.

The surprise of this movie reminded me of Dance of The Dead. Low budget title, great acting, awesome special effects makeup, great bloody scenes, true blue walking zombies, no CGI... Just an all around true zombie fan enjoyable experience.

Some parts may remind you of Shaun of The Dead, the special effects and the blood are a primary to this. Well done, well shot and fun at the same time, this is what you would expect from big budget zombie movies such as Zombieland, and it delivered. [Which was incredible.]

Definitely give this one a buy if you see it, you will not regret it and its a perfect movie to watch with your girl or boyfriend that is scared shitless of zombies. The look on their face when a zombie pops out of nowhere, PRICELESS!

Surviving Evil

A r u c a r D . [ R ] . Filed Under:

What can I say about this movie that you cannot tell by the main actors? Nothing. Even though Billy Zane was in The Phantom, a movie I actually liked, this movie is definitely the opposite. The protagonists of this movie go to an island in the Philippines in order to film one of those neurotic survival shows.

They find themselves way over their heads when they start encountering weird noises in the jungle, incredibly swaying tree's, people getting bit, random skeletons with blood all over them. Now all of these things sound like a compelling mix, problem is with shitty acting, an alright script but needed some immense tweaking, some horrible sound effects and mix all of this in with one mans desperate necessity to find gold? Weak.

The cover made me interested, the movie made me disappointed. In the end, I knew not to trust it, but I wanted to give these lower budget movies a chance, as some of them do come out to surprisingly great results. [Dance of The Dead] But this movie has definitely put a dent in that armor all over again.

If you have the time to watch this movie and want to spend some time with someone, dont watch this. lol

Defendor

A r u c a r D . [ R ] . Filed Under:


Now this is a movie I definitely did not expect to be as good as it was. Woody Harrelson is in the building ladies and gentleman! This man is on a roll, with Zombieland under his revival belt and now this in the bag, Woody seems like the go to man for a guaranteed laugh or some serious punch.

Woody plays Defendor, a regular human whom swears he is also a super hero, but not with magical powers, and he gets pissed if you spell his name Defender. He befriends a young prostitute whom he found giving a corrupt cop a blowjob in his car, he did not know what was going on, but he had business with the police officer, so he let her slide. lmao

The movie is very well done, shows the type of character that Defendor is, shows the love the community and its people showcase to him, it shows how someone can completely change other peoples lives just by being in their presence, even though sometimes it takes some obstacles to get over.

Comedy / Drama / Action / Spy . This movie covers alot of ground in little time and does so very well especially with the characters involved. Good acting, great script, some solid camera work by the director and Defendor. lol

8 / 10 [Def a sleeper.]

Survival of The Dead

A r u c a r D . [ R ] . Filed Under:


I truly do not know what to say to this movie.. George A. Romero is a master if not THE master of zombie horror, but in this movie it just was not there. Shitty CGI, a terribad script, some alright acting, but their lines were just too bad.

Granted that the movie did have some shining moments, such as a supposed military woman whom is a  lesbian masturbating while sitting in her jeep awaiting action. The ending was not so bad either, it showed what fear can do in such a situation without thinking something through.

But lets get back to the movie as a whole, the zombies did not look bad at all, as expected of a Romero movie, the problem came in when computer animation needed to be used. Such as the infamous part where a group of rednecks decided to chop off the heads of the zombies and put them on stakes. Although awesome in its intent, horrible animation rendering made this shot completely shitty.

Unfortunately I did not enjoy this movie as much as I wanted to, even though it comes from a legend, the movie itself is not worth a legends grace, let alone stamping his name on such a product.

Test Blog from Blogger Android App!

A r u c a r D . [ R ] . Filed Under: Labels:

Just making a test blog post from my phone. Wanted to test and see if this would work and how well it does. Seems to be working perfectly with the exception of 2 vital components on an eclair 2.0 rom.

The add image and add video parts of the app do not work on eclair 2.0, they give me a force close error when either of them is launch and bring me back to the main menu of the application.

Regardless, i can easily go back to a 1.6 rom and install this. This is great! LoL
