Michael Jackson RIP

Remembering an icon – Michael Jackson: 1959-2009 After several days I have finally come to terms with the death of a music - no – world icon and Legend. I know I had a previous entry regarding this subject, but at the time I didn’t have much to say because I didn’t truly feel his loss and now I understand what it is that I am to say in regards to the man: And that is that he is one of the greatest human beings to ever walk the face of this Earth, an innovator who crushed the barriers between race in America, and most importantly, he is someone who taught us that anything is possible. Many people of

Public Enemies Review by The-Reef-Shark, literature

Public Enemies Review

Public Enemies Reef Rating: 7/10 An overview of a criminal mastermind, Public Enemies is an alright docu-crime-thriller that, thought well-made, ends up coming out dry. Many of the scenes are well paced, but in its running time the film feels like a very rushed overview of the final years of John Dillinger. What I mean to say is that this is a good movie, but you probably won’t leave the theater feeling like you’ve learned anything about John Dillinger, other than trivial facts. The movie never really gives Johnny Depp a chance to shape the character into a believable icon because as I previously stated this film feels more l

Transformers 2 Review

Reef Rating: 4/10 Stars Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is one of the most desperate attempts I have ever seen by a movie in its desperate ideas of entertainment. Coming only two years after the release of the first Michael Bay Transformers I knew this movie was not going to be anything special, because a sequel that is pushed into completion within two years is never a good sign. Regardless, I decided to hop over to see this movie after having spent a wonderful time with Pixar’s latest release, Up (more on that delightfully entertaining movie some other time). This is the first time I shall really spoil a movie’s plot poin

Apocalypse Angel

Apocalypse Angel By Vance Berk It is all so very empty. So very, very worthless, yet here I still remain. Just one who is deemed simply undesirable, trekking my way through a lonesome, forgotten place. All the while I am reminded of our once strong empire, and the power we once held with such childish care. The filth of that former order of society still fills the air and it is in this that I live, and suffer with each passing second. The air is contaminated with this leftover filth of our long forgotten society, and not even the strongest filters known to surviving man can rid me of the stench that they created so long ago. So I had

Thunderball Review

Movie: Thunderball Starring: Sean Connery as James Bond 007 Series: James Bond (4th film in series) Reef's rating: 9/10 The fourth film in this infamous series of espionage features Sean Connery returning to the role that brought him international fame. Of course it would be insane to imagine anyone else in this role at this point in time for the fledgling series that would go on to be the longest running series in the history of cinema. The film begins with Bond still stuck in the ongoing war between himself and the conning SPECTRE organization and has acquired special attention from their mysterious faceless, cat-stroking mastermind w

Tropic Thunder Review by The-Reef-Shark, literature

Literature

Tropic Thunder Review

Movie: Tropic Thunder (2008) Starring: Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black Directed by Stiller Reef's Rating: 4 ½ Stars This is a very funny movie that should tickle the funny-bone of fans of any war films, and any other comedy fans. Ben Stiller proves himself as being a better director than his previous attempt with Zoolander and Tropic Thunder is one of the best comedies of 2008. We have a solid primary cast between Stiller, Black, and Downey Jr., but good old Robert Downey Jr. manages to steal most of the scenes from his co-stars as the white actor playing the black platoon sergeant ("I don't drop character until the DVD

Valkyrie Review by The-Reef-Shark, literature

Literature

Valkyrie Review

Movie: Valkyrie (2008) Starring: tom Cruise Director: Bryan Singer 9/10 Stars Forget all the negative hype surrounding Valkyrie, because I assure you it is false. Bryan Singer has made a well-crafted thriller that kept me and my family on the edge of our seats until the end - even though we all know what the story's unfortunate outcome. Also, many tabloids were making this out to be the movie that would permanently cripple the career of Tom Cruise. This is entirely false. Cruise delivers a fine performance, and this hatred I can only assume is related to his rather odd personal life. Tom Cruise is as strong of an actor as he ever was, an

GoldenEye Movie Review by The-Reef-Shark, literature

GoldenEye Movie Review

GoldenEye (1995) Series: James Bond (17th film in series) Starring: Pierce Brosnan (James Bond), Sean Bean (006), Judi Dench (M) Director: Martin Campbell Reef's Rating: 5 Stars GoldenEye is one of the better runs in the infamous James Bond franchise for many reasons. To start off, this is one of the few 007 adventures combining camp, humor, and gritty realism all in one while still providing the amazing set-pieces you would have come to expect from the original Bond films. This is a new flavor for James Bond, yet has enough home touches that it feels right at home in the series. Being the 17th entry in the never-ending series revolvin

Halo Review

Halo: Combat Evolved System: Xbox (Backwards compatible on Xbox 360) Reef's Rating: 5 Stars Halo is a very addicting and fun first person shooter that launched the Xbox system off the ground when all hope for the Microsoft platform seemed to have gone. The science-fiction based game works because of its intense cut scenes, and shocking plot twists, but what really makes it work is the feeling that your character (Master Chief) seems like one who really does serve a purpose in the military and that he is a part of the marines in their fight against an alien force. Most of the rest of the plot found in Halo is typical sci-fi shooter, but it

Summer Movie Update

0 min read

Summer Movie Update Let me do my job as an avid moviegoer and tell you my view on what movies are worth seeing this summer.  With the economy as it is you do not want to waste your money on a bad movie! Star Trek: 5 Stars!  Great entertainment, thrilling action sequences, and lovable characters.  It is perhaps the best movie to be created for the Star Trek franchise (seeing as this one was made to be a MOVIE and not a continuation of any of the TV  series) Up: 5 Stars!  One of Pixar's best films to date it is also the darkest subject material presented by the CGI -cartoon inovative production company.  Should keep audienences of all ages e
