The original Road Trip is one of the funniest R-Rated movie I have ever seen. With that said, the expectations for the Direct to DVD sequel is high.
Although you'll never be completely disappointed, the movie is tad slower and less funnier compared to the original Tom Green fueled movie.
The movie revolves around a guy, well known for Beer Pong goes on a trip. That's it. Other things such as girls, nudity, drinking and effects of drinking revolves around the simple premise.
If you really, really like the first Road Trip and want to pay tribute, then this movie is for you. If you don't care - you're just wasting your time.
DJ Qualls is back on the sequel and takes on Tom Green's role in the first movie. If I'm not mistaken, he gets to make out with the same mom.

Flash Review: Ilsa, She Wold of the SS
Warning to the squimish: this movie is not for you.
Ilsa, is a Nazi Exploitation film released in the 70s. I finally go the time to watch the movie at home. Alone. Because no one seems interested in a hot chick with more hot girls with the German accent.
Anyway, does a great job in making you squimish a bit...and a lot if you're not familiar with exploitation type films such as Cannibal Holocaust, and August Underground series. The rest is not that impressive.
I'll give you a small spoiler: the captured people staged a revolt and fight ensues. This is actually the fun part as you see a lot of shooting but not much blood. Weird for an exploitation movie.
5/10

Quick Review of The Good, Bad and the Ugly
I can't say that the movie is the best western movie ever made. But it's sure is very entertaining. The reason I saw this movie again was that I was a bit bored and I want some good old fashion shootout. The final scene is really worth the build up. Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach are really good in this film and they all stay in their supposed to be characters (based on the title) 'till the end.
It's a spaghetti western recommended for everyone. Some can complain that it's too long...we'll it's a practice of expanding your attention span.
8/10

Flash Review: The Haunted World of El Superbeasto
I'm a big fan of Rob Zombie - music, movies and now...animation. Based on his eccentric comic book, "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto" is an animation not for kids, and some adults. The animation is great, voice is impressive but I have that weird feeling that the voice is not natural. But it's part of the fun. The movie features El Superbeasto going against Dr. Satan. The rest is fighting with Nazi Zombies, intelligent monkey and lots and lots of nudity. Watch it but before you do it, make sure that there are no kids around.
Be sure to take notes on the music :) It's not Rob Zombie but will sure to tickle your musical skulls.
9/10

Quick Review: Bruno
"Bruno" is Sasha Baron Cohen's shock mockumentary similar to "Borat". He prides himself as an Austrian fashion guru who wanted to be popular in US.
I have to say, I am very disappointed with the movie. I was expecting similar to "Borat" wherein his exploits are personal. Yes, he humiliated some people in the movie but it's not awkward compared to this movie. The movie is just full of homosexual explicit talk that can easily make you uncomfortable.
But still, the movie has some funny parts. Unfortunately, it's just not good enough.
2/10

Lightning Review: The Cleveland Show
The Cleveland Show is the Spin-off of Family Guy. The setting is actually a bit in the future wherein Cleveland finally moves out of Quahog because his wife got the house. Along with Cleveland Jr., he sets off a new life in his hometown.
One thing you'll notice in Cleveland show is the lack of random flashbacks. This might be a tricky move for McFarlane but could be a good thing since you really don't want to push the audience to a Family Guy-like experience. But the formula is almost the same: A family, weird neighbors and a talking animal. This time, the animal is their neighbor bear - complete with family.
First two episodes are great. Hope they keep it up :)

Lightning Review of Archer TV Series on FX
Archer is a new animation series from FX. It's about an agent with the same last name.
The first 5 minutes is actually a bit boring because of character introductions. But after a few minutes, things just started to really get interesting. The animation is not top notch but it's done in purpose to make me (watchers) understand the story.
There are two characters to watch out for: Archer and his Mom. Sexually depraved and equally crazy, their banter is what you should look out for every season.
Hopefully, FX will try Archer for one season as animation fans will surely like this series. Maybe more characters will come out in the following episodes.
