Beneath the Darkness

                A well respected Undertaker and widower (Dennis Qauid) hold sinister motives and only a teenage trouble maker seem to know of his horrible details. He much works to exposed him in a town where the cops don’t believe him and parents (as explain by noted poet Will Smith) just don’t understand. What starts out as kid investigating the spooky house of the local undertaker turns into a cat and mouse game begins.  The opening of this movie is pretty good. I always had a fear of being stuck into small spaces and a sense of helplessness and being buried alive does a trick. The bad guys start of pretty creepy at the beginning. But later on he goes to over the top into the Joker category... He more comfortless tying Batman to a giant bowling pin (as a giant bowling ball comes towards our Cape crusader) then being in a horror movie. Don’t get me wrong you can tell Dennis having some real fun going over the top, and it does have some fun cheese factor. But you can guess everything that going to happen step by step. The cliques are so clique that even calling them clique is now clique. It does nothing new and it not over the top enough to enjoy its goofiness.   Grade C

Way of the Warrior

Yang is a bad ass. He fights like a bad ass, he walks like a bad ass, when he eats his rice crispy treats he eats it like total bad ass. He part a clan of samurai ninja assassins, who trained sense there were kids to go around the world and just ninja the fuck out of people. Yang in the movie is pretty good slicing people up, taking out all the rival clans. His mission is to wipe out everyone involve into a clan. Sadly his master that includes a small baby. That is when Yang basically say “I did some fuck up shit, but I aint giving no baby the death punch”. So he escapes with the baby while being hunted by his Clan. He ends up in an old west town, that runs down and befriend a group of circus performers. Two of them that stand out is a sexy knife thrower, and old drunk with a bad ass past of his own. They help them learn that it’s more to life than just killing. He grows to love the baby, and like the family around. But he soon learns he can’t escape his past, and must fight his clan and criminals to protect this one horse town. The movie pretty good. It’s VERY cheesy but if you accept the cheese it fun. It's cheese that knows its cheese. It plays with that fact without constantly having to wink at you every second. The trust that you get the theme they are going for. The fight scenes pretty sweet and there not afraid to keep the body count high on both sides. It’s very stylish with rich red and yellow colors in the background. Sometime the sets could feel empty, but that more of a style choice. But that can make things fall flat sometime. Sometimes it runs into a problem most movies like this. The character sometimes bad ass to the point it’s no real danger. But the keep it exciting by people other people in dangers. Also some of the villains are not that memorable. Still it’s pretty good flick. Like of the actors play off each other pretty well. The main actor does a good quiet Asian Clint Eastwood type character. Good watch to kill some time.
