I’ve been pretty consistent with catching movies of late, and I’m kinda proud of myself for that. So this past weekend I took the old lady to see this week’s #1 movie at the box office, Takers, mainly because she has a thing for Idris Elba (aka Stringer Bell for my Wire fam), but I didn’t mind seeing it regardless. And since T.I. and Chris Brown were in the flick, going to see Takers just seemed like the cool kid thing to do this weekend.
Lottery Ticket, the movie starring Bow Wow, premiered this weekend and I saw it. Not that this type of coon movie is the kind of film I’d pay $10 to see on its opening weekend (wait, did ya’ll know movies are $10 a pop now?), but my 14-year-old nephew wanted to see it, so I bit the bullet and took the kid to the movies, instead of running the risk of him hanging out with wannabe gang bangers and becoming one of those fake Bloods…Big Uncle R.E. went to see Lottery Ticket.
It’s been a few days now since I saw Inception, and for the last couple days I’ve been trying to figure out how I would write a movie review for this. On one hand, Inception is probably the best movie I’ve seen since Belly (don’t front like Belly ain’t a hood masterpiece), but on the other hand I can’t explain this movie because I’m still kinda confused about what happened in it myself. And if I tried to explain it to ya’ll, I’d probably just confuse the hell outta ya’ll before you get a chance to see it. But I will say I really like this movie. I think I like this movie more than Twilight, and ya’ll know how much I fux with Twilight.
I hope everyone had a good weekend and welcome back to another week at The Block. I don’t think anything really went on this weekend, but the Sucker Free Summit aired yesterday on MTV2, but I know a lot of people don’t even have MTV2, so once again we can thank the internets for having everything. If you’re not in the know, MTV2′s Sucker Free handed out some hip-hop awards yesterday, so check the vid for the replay.
Spotted at eskay’s.
The second movie I saw this last weekend was the third movie in the Twilight Saga: Eclipse. And Block readers should already know, after seeing the first two Twilight flicks, I’m pretty much a Twilight stan, and I really don’t care what anyone thinks of that. I’ve been waiting on this movie more than anything else this summer. Twilight over everything…
I saw a couple movies this past 4th of July weekend, and I’m just now getting a chance to write movie reviews for them. The first movie I saw was Grown Ups, a comedy starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade and Rob Schneider. And to be honest, I’m still trying to figure out why the hell I went to see this movie. I think they got me with the previews…
As ya’ll may or may not know, MTV has been running a “When I Was 17″ show with different celebrities talking about being 17, and here’s Keri Hilson’s joint. I must confess, I have quite a thing for Keri Hilson, and to this day, I’m still mad I didn’t holla at her when I saw her at the blowing alley about three years ago, before she started blowing up. Damnit, Randy… (smh).
This is the trailer for the last two Harry Potter movies, coming out in November 2010 and July 2011. I know that’s a ways off, but it’s never to early to get excited about a Harry Potter movie. Especially since this is the finale. I’m just a big kid, I know this.
I’m assuming most of you watched the BET awards tonight, and it actually wasn’t bad this year. I’ll probably speak on it again later, but right now I just want to shout out Chris Brown because in my opinion he had the best performance of the night. That’s right, people…Chris Brown is back. Don’t be mad, Jigga. Yeah, I know the lil nucca beat Rihanna’s ass, that was awhile ago, he apologized and he’s gone through it. He deserves a second chance now, right? Hell, R. Kelly pissed all over lil girls, and ya’ll give him a another go. Dude said he was sorry, it’ll never happen again, ya’ll ragged him and his bowtie, but now, I for one, am embracing him. Welcome back, Chris. #teambreezy all day.
Since everybody was making a big fuss about it, I went to see The Karate Kid, starring Will & Jada’s son, Jaden Smith, and Jackie Chan, in this remake of the 1984 Karate Kid classic. Will and Jada produced this movie, so you can see that you’re really keeping all the money in the family, and this kid Jaden is gonna be a star, like his daddy.
