Surrogates Review

Its been a while since I've given a review, so here goes nothing...

Bruce Willis is super old (well, if you think 55 is old). So thinking about him still being an action star seems a little odd, but I'll tell you now, he's still awesome.

Surrogates has an interesting concept -- In the future, people don't need leave there houses, because of robots that look like humans that can be controlled by the brain. In the time the movie is set in, most of the world use Surrogates almost completely (Except they can't go to the bathroom for you!). The story is fairly well-written with some plot twists thrown in there. My only complaints with the story are first, its extremely short, and second, we as the audience don't care about any other character besides Bruce Willis.

The acting is pretty good for the most part. But the best part about Surrogates is the extreme action scenes. I don't know how a fifty-year-old man can jump out of an exploding helicopter, survive a huge truck crashing into there little sports car, and save the world from the evil Surrogate killers.

So all things considered, Surrogates is not a bad movie at all. Its not the science fiction conspiracy thriller everyone has hoped for, but it is an entertaining thrill-ride with a cool concept and some great action scenes.

SMALLVILLE MOVIE POSTER! PLUS 24 SEASON 8 POSTER!

Happy New Year Top 5's

MOVIES:

1. Dark Knight Not only the best super hero movies out there, it is one of the best movies out there period. Awesome action and a great story may be a big part of the films success, but the best part about it is Heath Ledger acting role as the Joker.

2. Avatar James Cameron's newest epic adventure is worth the 15 year wait. The story is great, with a memorable message, but the visuals in this are incredible.

3. I Am Legend Will Smith's second best performance (his best would be Pursuit of Happiness). Although the infected humans are obviously completely computer animated, the story is fantastic.

4. Spider-Man 2 Before Dark Knight this was the best super hero movie. At the time, the visuals were state of the art, and it still stands out today. It has everything; great action, great story, and great acting.

5. Lord of the Rings Although its technically a trilogy, it all seems like one movie to me. Anyway, this movie is epic. Epic battles, epic story,epic everything.

TV SHOWS:

1. Smallville This show caught me from the beginning. this show does what is impossible, which is to make Superman seem human. While acting and special effects are not its strong point, great story and cool action make this one of my favorite TV shows.

2. 24 The reason 24 is second is not because it is worse than Smallville, which actually it might be better. But I have seen more of Smallville than 24, so I guess thats the tie breaker. Anyway, 24 is packed with suspense and action, nothing like I have ever seen. Ever episode/hour ends in a cliff hanger, so you are always waiting for the next episode.

3. The Office The funniest show on television. Laughs pretty much every second. Great acting, too.

4. The Simpsons The second funniest show on TV. Really, your laughing every second as you watch it.

5. Lost I haven't watched that much of it yet, but so far its pretty cool. Great special effects and crazy suspense, Lost is one I am excited to finish.

VIDEO GAMES:

1. inFAMOUS (PS3) I have always loved free roaming games, and when I heard about inFamous, I had to buy it.

2. Batman Arkham Asylum (PS3, XBOX 360) Best super hero game of all time. The whole eerie feel of Arkham gives this game suspense. Extremely fun game.

3. Prince of Persia (PS3, XBOX 360) Probably the best graphics I have ever seen. Prince of Persia is a great platformer as well as a visual piece of art.

4. Sly 3 (PS2) Porbably my favorite PS2 game, and hopefully they come out with a sequel on the PS3.

5. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (PS3, XBOX 360) The best shooter I've played, with extremely fun tactical action.

Well, there's my Top 5 list. Hope you liked it!
