Big Stan Movie Review
September 24, 2008Earlier today, my girlfriend and I were planning on seeing a movie. We didn’t know what movie exactly so I decided to check online to see what’s currently showing. Righteous Kill got my attention first but all I’ve been hearing about that film are negatives so that left me with Big Stan but I couldn’t seem to find any good reviews about the movie. Still I decided to check it out. And now, after seeing the movie, I’ve thought to put up a review for the movie hoping it could help someone who might be interested in seeing it as I did. So here it goes.
Rob Schneider Movies have been Hits and Misses. I’d say this one is a Hit. In a budget of about $10 million, its a pretty decent production. Basically it is a movie that tells you the horror of man-rape, particularly in prison.
The Prison set were convincing although not realistically gritty, which maybe helps lightened the mood for more humor.
Schneider’s performance was one of his best as he carried the movie pretty well. Rob did well with his awkward facial expressions to his signature panicky line delivery. Additional props goes to Rob for buffing up real good for the role. Didn’t expect he could actually pulloff a tough guy character quite fine.
His supporting cast also did good. David Carradine was just cool as The Master. He could still be convincing as a badaas even for his age. I think it’s because of how he uses his voice or something. As a Mixed Martial Arts fan myself, it was fun seeing Randy Couture, Don Frye and Bob Sapp having hilarious moments in the film. Although, its weird to see Sapp in a prison film again with him being in a similar setting as in The Longest Yard, a film that stars Adam Sandler, a good friend of Schneider’s. Speaking of which, for those of you who are expecting to see another Adam Sandler cameo in the movie, don’t count on it. He wasn’t there.
The development of the story seems ok although it somehow feels a little bit rushed as a lot changes in a short span of time. Nothing much new in it really when it comes to the plot but the whole theme of the movie is really something intriguing. Anti-man raping movies don’t come around so often so I think the basic message of the film is interesting enough to say the least. Worth mentioning also is that the theme is where we get the funniest and/or meaningful moments in the film. Somehow, the movie does have some lessons in it and after you watch it, you can clearly state what they are.
More credit goes to Rob for also directing this movie. It shows you how capable he is in making his own films. Good job!
3 out of 5 Stars
PS
For All Filipinos out there, I highly recommend this movie as Rob seemed to have made sure to put some nods in this fim for his fellow Pinoys.
21 wins and this one goes to School
Ok, maybe you’re wondering why I went straight to my 21st win and did not even bother mentioning the 20th. Here’s why: the last contest I won was a Private Contest (a new feature on the site) and therefore I am prohibited from putting it in my portfolio. Sucks huh? Well I saw no point on posting it without having anything to put up here. So here’s the latest win which isn’t a Private Contest. Its for a Virtual Assistance Community. Its a good mix of Purple and Green so I hope you’ll like it.
Brand Name:Virtual Assista
Prize Money: $200

Dragonball Movie Update: Piccolo not green??
September 6, 2008Thanks to dbthemovie.com for posting this, now we have a first look on how James Marsters’ Piccolo would look on the big screen. But how come I don’t see any shade of green in him in this picture? I remember Marsters said in a n interview that Piccolo will in fact be green. But to be honest, that face is kinda sick though which makes it cool yet this menace from Nemic is recognized well by all anime fans to be green. I really hope they could pull this off as they have taken away a big part of the iconic Dragonball character.

Brock Lesnar will face… Randy Couture next!
September 4, 2008BROCK LESNAR, one scary mothaf*****
It is official, the hottest thing in the Heavyweight MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) picture, (and used to be the biggest thing in the World Wrestling Entertainment and Professioanl Wrestling as a whole) Brock Lesnar will go up against non-other than the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Heavyweight Champ, Randy “the Natural” Couture. Yes, I am shocked as any MMA fan could be. I was expecting Brock to face the snob Cheick Kongo next. (and I am sure Kongo is pissed off now since the last thing he said in the octagon was to give him the title.) Also, Lesnar is still a rookie in the sport of MMA and all of the sudden he is given the title. A lot of heavywieghts right now is probably going wild over this news.
But still, this will surely sell the more tickets than if Couture was matched with any other fighter. It is the Mixed martial Arts Veteran versus the bigger, faster and CERTAINLY stronger rookie. It sounds like a script made for a movie. This fight will surely be remembered by sports fans for a long time.
Mark it down! UFC 91: Couture vs Lesnar, Nov. 15, 2008
