2013 Summer releases, maybe.

Whats up my young chitlinz and mollejas (yeah its the same thing I checked, maybe). Its been about a week and I think I've finally have all the components read for the Super Awesome Movie Game 2013 (Box Office Game).  Okay, first things first-----> Manny is Cool. Now that I got that out of the way, on to the real deal Holyfield. In this first section I am going to post the rules for the game. It is going to explain to you exactly what to fill out and explains each category. Those who have played before, more or less know the questions but to those who haven't and for some reason don't get it, just toss me an email (just stay clear of my face) and I'll explain to you what you need. Then later today I will make another blog with the movies in play and the prize packs so far. Also I will send out the actual submission forms to your email. Again if I do not have your email, por favor send it to me. Okaley Dokaley on with the show. 

Cool movie, prob was a Slepper Hit

Rules

-List is due on Saturday April 27, 2013. Anything After that day is submitable with a 2 point loss in your final score.

-The game official begins Friday May 3, 2013. The final earnings and end of the game will be counted up to Sunday September 15, 2013.

-Any movie released in the United States theaters between May 3, 2013 and August 16, 2013 is eligible for the contest

-Guess the Summer Flop. The movie which was expected to do great but Underperformed and made least of its money back (percentage of its budget). Ex last year was Battleship.

-Guess the Stinker Hit. The movie that made money & possibly top 10 but was reviewed badly and sucked (compared to 3 websites) (ex last year was  Ice Age; Continental Drift)

Super Awesome Movie Game 2013

Shes Good.

Okaley Dokaley Girls and Guys the Summer 2013 season is upon us. Just a mere 5 1/2ish weeks until the very first movie strikes, the ol Iron-Man Tres.  Marvel always loves to grab the first date of the summer and I have to say its a pretty darn good idea, its worked for them before. So looks like there are many awesomeness movies this summer and since Avengers really changed the whole landscape last year, it is really anybody's game this year. 
Well we are gonna do it (not "it it") a little bit differently this year for the game (SAMg), since I am over here and you are over there. This year I will post up the rules up here on my blog along with the prizes (cough``cough still accepting prizes if you wanna donate cough`cough). As for the actual sheet I will send that out in an excel work sheet via electronic mail (e-mail for you doopers<---idk what that is, it just sounded funny) prob by the end of this week. So you will have a full 5+ weeks (34 days) to fill it out. So start early don't wait until the week before to start the list. After your done you just send it back to my email and poof that's how it works. For the winners I will send off the Super Awesome Prize packs to their casa. Ok so, post on rules in 2 days, prize packs in 4 days and sheet by the weekend. If i don't have your email please send it me. 

Ahh foreshadowing your funny

OK enough about the game lets talk a little bit of movies before I hit the hay. This week I saw 2 so-so not so great movies followed by 2 Gnarly ones to balance my weekend off. First I went off to Le theater and saw Burt Wonderstone. It was just ok, I laughed about 4 times, I felt really bored at some points (that's aside from me dropping my popcorn, damnit that's like at least 3 dollars that fell on the floor) The lovely Oliva Wilde is pretty good and great to look at. Micheal Scott is exactly that Micheal Scottish which is cool I just thought he was gonna play it diffent. Jim Carey was decent and is starting to make his come back with this and Kick-Ass2 trailer (go check it out). Overall I give it a 3 on My scale. I would prob wait for rent, no buy on this. Next I decided to finish the Evil Dead trilogy with Army of Darkness. Man the 1st two were really groovy, but this one for me felt flat compared to the other two. I was expecting the same blood and some scares, but got hardly none of that. I know this movie is held high for many Movie fans, but it just didn't hold up for me. I also gave this a 3 (out of 6), but I am really really excited to watch the Evil Dead Marathon April 4th here in LA. All 3 previous Evil Deads and the new one at midnight. I figured the best audience to watch the new one with is with hardcore fans of the original trilogy. To finish my weekend I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey on blu, still one of the best looking blu ray moives out there even holds up to some of the new ones. I love its great cinematography with a stellar soundtrack to match. Easily a 5 for me. Speaking of a 5, I searched out Willow on blu ray. Yeah I kind of see how this is a little bit like Army of darkness, but I was expecting it from this and not AD. I believe that is why I adored this one more. At first I was scared it was not going to hold up from when I used to watch it with my sisters a long time ago in vhs, but it totally did. Looks great on blu, has some funny parts, magic, little people and pigs. I am glad I bought this.
Ok thats long enough (That's What She said). Maybe too long, (that's what nobody said). I hope you got through at least the first half of this blog, I'll try and keep it shorter next time. Ok if you have an questions, stick them in your back pocket and sit on them. I gotta go, I'm getting sleepy and yeah.

Top 10 Movies 2012 & Super Awesome Movie Game 2013

What is up ladies and Germs and guys and cats and anybody else listening. Well 2012 has been gone for some time now but I am barley tighting up my top 10 films of 2012. I had some last minute ones to see to make sure my list was complete. I didnt watch everything just things that interest me like boobs. I mean not in the theater cause thats weird right. Well anyways my top 10 consist of movies in which i love and had fun at, also ones that I would soooo buy on blu ray, if not already. There were some really good movies that I liked but not necessary buy, for example Zero Dark Thirty. It was a really good movie in all (especially Jessica Chastain, not as good as Lawless because of that one scene, but whatever she got nominated for crazy agent in ZDT) it is just not one I would buy on blu and replay often, I will rent it again and watch when it becomes available. Well here it is, and if you dont like it. . . I got two words for yall. . . .

Honorable Mentions:
The Grey-Great intensity:  SkyFall-Best Bond film. need more girls  Cloud Atlas-great visually and make-up wise  Lincoln- Looks good greatly Acted   End of Watch- Great Chemistry & story  Zero Dark Thirty-See above 

10. Prometheus- I really loved this movie, flaws/holes and all. Visually excellent
9. Perks of Being a WallFlower- 3 leads were excellent. dont know why i really loved this flick
8. The Raid (US release this year) great action flick. Interchangeable with Argo
7. Detention- Horror, comedy, 80s/90s references. 
6. Looper- Time travel is fun as is Jims wife
5. A Cabin in the Woods- enjoyable horror with laughs and wtfs
4. Dredd 3D- decent use of 3d in slo mo. Bones kicks ass
3. The Dark Knight Rises- great way to finish trilogy. 
2. The Avengers- Exciting and funny all the way
1. Django Unchained- Pure cinematic genius. Visually & acted. 

So what do you think? What was your favorite movie of 2012

Super Awesome Movie Game 2012
Well guys and girls its coming up to that time again. Time for the team of Rene & Rosey to defend their Championship for the Summer Box Office Challenge.  I am currently updating the form for this coming year, trying to make it a little bit more easier to fill out and turn in, since me being way over here on this side of the Continental United States. Either way I hope everyone enters again this year. Last year we had a record high of 12 contestants  This year I am aiming for an outrageous lucky number 13. So if there is anybody cool you know that would want to join let them know, cause your cool (sometimes). 

Also I have already purchased the first 2 prizes for the Game"
The Shawshank Redemption Blu ray Exclusive Edition Steelbook
Burton 3-Pack: The Corpse Bride/Beetlejuice/Charlie & The Chocolate Factory BluRay
Iron-Man 3 BluRay
Sweet unused Scott Pilgrim T-Shirt

Of course you are encouraged (if you want) to donate any movie (bluray or dvd (sorry no betas or vhs)) into this sweet pot for the winner. 
Side note: Right now best buy has a promotion running until Feb2, that you can trade in any old dvd into the store and they will give you a coupon for $5 off any blu ray movie (9.99 or more). So you can basically buy a blu ray for $5 and there are many good ones at that price. You know just saying just in case you were thinking of purchasing a blu.

Ok well this is getting a bit loong. yeah what of it, wanna fight. Id rather not because. So until next time i have an update for The Game or whatever.

The End has Cometh. . . .

Whats up Beliebers . . . what is that over already. Is likeing Justin Bieber is not cool anymore. Ok whateva Motha Fucka!! (Ol Coffe there). Well whats cool now then; Hoobastank or Hanson. Ok think about it, what never mind this is a Super Awesome Movie Game blog no Super Awesome Music Blog.
Well well it look like the game is over. Super Awesome Movie Game has Seen the end like when the Ring hit the floor or Vader finally kicking the bucket. Looks like the top 3 were totally exactly what we expected but not in the order we imagined. Which screwed us with a little bit of points but gained some for one unlikely player, Marci. As for the rest of the top 10 ill release those prob on Friday, then the rest by Saturday, either live texting or a live tweeting. Still trying to figure out the winners of the other categories.  If anybody has anything to add to the pot, let me know by Saturday. Still need a really awesome 2nd place (last year was Blu ray of Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus) prize and a last place one.
Ok let me go do work. Any questions, No! Great just how i like it. but really.

Be Cool

ps- Don't be lame
pps- Got to get your Horror movies ready for October. 30 days of Horror Movies. It doesn't have to be 30 movies but on MFC (Movie Fan Central ) we are putting together a list for our 30 movies of different genre (but still Horror) for everyday. So check it out or just watch 2 movies in October that you have never seen. Ok for reals this time Pedaso Afuera

The End is Near. . . .



Que pasa Mufasa. Well technically he is dead *Spoiler Alert*. Well it looks like the end of this years Super Awesome Movie Game is coming to a close. I don't have my sheets in front of me but i believe that the final weekend of movie releases is this weekend (OK give me a second, let me pull it out) Ok I'm back, did you miss Me, yeah i know you did. Well it looks like this is the finally week of movie releases. So it all comes down to The Campaign, Bourne Legacy and Hope Springs.
     I really do not see El Dark Knight-O to catch up to Avenger 600+ million dollar summer. TDK is barley half way there, but we do still have about 4 weeks of actual admissions to take place, where the final count adds up.  It is really a shame because i really did want TDK to beat Avengers (being a DC guy and all). Nobody saw it coming. I am pretty sure Colorado had some to do with it, but whatever TDK always has something hanging over its head to shine/unshine light on it. I believe it was a really good movie, even after its flaws. So do yourself a favor and watch it in the theaters before it runs its course (preferable before Sept 9). 
   Well looking over the contestants numbers looks like it is going to be an photo finish. I have an idea of what the Sleeper hit and Summer flop will be, but as Stinker Hit I have to do some homework.  As for the leader it is really up in the air a coupe people have some great points where almost all of us missed the highest point grabber, #1 Box office. I wont look at the sheets again until the final is done, i liked to be surprised too, so don't ask me who is winning.
  This weekend is gonna be The Funny guys vs a Spy Guy. I'm sure one of these will knock TDKR from the top Weekend spot, but which one is really up to you. ok that's enough i am tired and it is late, I have to wake up in the morning and make me a sandwich.

BTW- Jaws comes out next weekend on Blu Ray for the first time. and it is going to look damn glorious on HD. Cant wait to get it. Actually I am buying the Steelbook from the UK. Yeah i buy movies from overseas and especially steelbooks. i am a junkie on those really (future post about my Blu ray collecting in the future) but yeah excited for that realease. do yourself a favor and buy it. The Original Summer Blockbuster Movie.

How many of this Summers Movies did you watch?
What was the best Movie of this summer for you?
What was the funniest?
Which movie can you not wait to get a release on Blu Ray?

Well well,, how you doing Mother Truckers (unless your mom is a trucker then you don't have to pay attention to that last line, if she is then you probably dont see her as much because she is always on the road and prob eats at the wonderful Mexican Restaurant Don Chile)  Well its been a while since I posted, you know with me getting ready for Comic Con and all (btw it was Super Totally Awesome, more on that later)
Well we are finally here on the Eve of the the biggest movie released day to date, yes im talking about The Dark Knight Rises. Mocs & Me already have our Midnight showing tickets for tonight, even though i have to close today.  Probably the most anticipated movie this year next to The Avengers, which is currently sitting at the top of the Summer Movie Box Office. That could all change this week, hopefully.
Well this isnt about whats coming out but really about the Super Awesome Movie Game 2012.  As in previous post everyone had seen where everyone else picked. As of the top 2 flicks well about 93% of the people had the exact same thing: 1.The Dark Knight Rises and 2. The Avengers. All everyboy except for Marci T, she is the only one who put Avengers at #1 and may have given her extra points if it manages to stay atop of TDKR. On the other hand she did put Bourne Legacy at #2 so those points may cancel out and keep her even with everyone else. Kiki had Bats #1 but for some reason she thought Bourne Legacy was going to do better then Avengers and put Bourne at #2 (wait thats 2 peps thinking bourne is going to be box office gold, we'll have to wait and see) So as it looks like now we are just anticipating the opening numbers for TDKR which could change the course of the game. Again almost everybody put TDKR to take the top spot on the opening Weekend numbers, except for: you guessed it marci put the Avengers. Oh wait a minute someone other smart individual put Avengers at #1 Weekend box office, yeup that'll be me.


Ok "Super Awesome Little Contest Time"
