TOP 5 Highest Grossing UNDESERVING

#1 HARRY POTTER 7 PART 2: Gross $1.3 billion
Wow what a lame ending! Did the art of storytelling become completely replaced by digital animation and graphics? In her massive hurry to trample the lines at the bank, the writer must have forgotten the entire basis and background of what the boy wizard was supposed to become. I just saw the movie yesterday and have already forgotten what happened. All I remember, is there was lots of fire and lightning.

#2 The Smurfs: Gross $562.4 million Surprise!
You’re now rich, over a piece of junk. This movie only brought in what it did due to the fact that so many called the show a childhood favorite. The lame production made the characters resemble very little of the original show and the plot was just all around LAME! Let’s not mention all of the advertising plugs crammed into this movie. I think the producers knew it was going to suck so bad they had to make a buck somewhere.

#3 THOR: Gross $448.5 million
In an attempt to make an Avengers movie, a string of comic based movies were put out to introduce characters, and build up to this comic fans wet dream of a movie. Most of these Movies were good…I said most. Thor is a boring movie that was completely rushed and under thought just to get it out of the way. But, of course, this movie brought in a ton of money. You can slap Marvel on the front of a bus and mow through millions of these brainwashed Comic Con followers.

#4 BRIDES MAIDS: Gross $288.4 million This movie is constantly being This movie is constantly being called “The Hangover” for women. Just this thought alone could give me one wicked hangover. Bridesmaid is nothing but a typical chick flicks with a few parts thrown in that are more disgusting than funny. If you add a few more parts that start out funny
but quickly become awkward and overbearing you will have this massively over-hyped Hollywood disaster.

#5 PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3: Gross $104 million If you have not seen the first movies, there is no point in jumping in and trying to watch the third. If you have had the opportunity to see the first two then there is no point in jumping in and watching the third! I will not lie number, 1 was awesome making you believe it was based on a real movie and real footage is what gave this movie the edge, then finding out it was fake. Holy smokes! Fell for it shame on me! Trying to create another one and expecting it to be scary, shame on you!

March Must See Movie

BOONDOCK SAINTS: Evil shall flourish when good men do nothing! Feeling that they are doing God’s will, two Catholic brothers from Boston set out to kill everyone in this Reservoir Dogs-style vigilante thriller. Brothers Conner and Murphy MacManus (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) take to performing their divine duty against the Russian mob. This cult classic is an absolute must see! We shall flow a river forth to thee and teaming with souls shall it ever be.

Classic Movies Of The Month

PLANET OF THE APES: An astronaut crew crash lands on a planet in the distant future where intelligent talking apes are the dominant species, and humans are the oppressed and enslaved. This movie crossed so many boundaries for its time; evolution, slavery, and women's rights.

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS 1956: The alien (read ‘Communist’) dehumanization and takeover of an entire community by large seed pods) that replicated and replaced human beings. And it told of the heroic struggle of one determined man, a small town doctor (McCarthy), to vainly combat and quell the deadly, indestructible threat. The ipsychological sci-fi film was re-made three times checking out the original.

The African Queen: A tale of two companions with mismatched, “opposites attract” personalities who develop a love affair as they travel together downriver in Africa around the start of World War I. With two leads; Humphrey Bogart an unshaven, drinking and smoking captain of a cranky tramp steamer and; Katharine Hepburn a prissy and proper, but imperious and unorthodox African missionary spinster and for director Huston.

Chances are you can park within 50 yards and have plenty of space to sit and enjoy the spectacle of the convention members having to fire off all that they have left before they leave town. Just saying!

Grace Arts Live

Posted on February 20, 2012 by admin in Arts And Entertainment

A Main Street Performing Arts Theatre

Think you have to head to Broadway in New York to see live theater? Well, did you know that outside of the McCoy Rigby Entertainment touring company’s musical presentation of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, Grace Arts Live was the only other place in the United States you could see the 2010 production of Peter Pan, the musical? Grace Arts Live opened at the current location on McCulloch Blvd. in 2007, thanks to the hard work of Grace Ann Etcheberria-Jacobs, a top talent with Fine Arts degrees (both Bachelor and Masters), from the renowned United State International University: School of Visual and Performing Arts.

Grace’s love for the arts was instilled by her mom at an early age. Growing up in the Basque culture of the Mission Viejo area, Grace soon fell in love with the arts. If you know nothing about the Basque people (from the northern Spain/France border) all you need to know is that the culture is rich in dance and song. Immersed in the arts culture, Grace produced/directed live shows for the Moonlight Amphitheater in Vista, California. In early 2000, she was involved in a production that included a young, undiscovered Adam Lambert (8th season runner-up of American Idol) playing Captain Hook. Thankfully, Grace decided to relocate her talents to Lake Havasu City and has never looked back. Thanks to the hard work of over 100 volunteers— from actors, ushers, production and technical people, Grace Arts Live continues to thrive in bringing quality, live productions at prices that are definitely below a Broadway production. Also owner of the Arizona Coast Performing Arts Dance Studio, Grace continues to cultivate homegrown talent, and quite possibly tomorrows Broadway stars!

Why Is Theatre Spelled So Funny? Who Cares? All you really need to know is that the 2012 Spring Season at Grace Arts Live kicks off February 17 with the production of Cabaret and is followed by West Side Story in March and Fiddler on the Roof in April. Single or season ticket information can be obtained by calling 928-505-ARTS, or stop by the box office at 2146 McCulloch Blvd.

Top 5 Worst Movies 2011

#1 JACK AND JILL: The Biggest fail of the year is without a doubt Jack and Jill. I believe this film was meant to be a comedy but actually turned out so annoying I am having panic attacks just thinking about having to sit through it again. Adam Sandler gives, and it is hard to say this, the worst performance of his career! The last time a man did this terrible of a job pretending to be a woman was Jennifer Lopez in Hitch. This movie does not just receive two thumbs down but two fingers up for wasting my hard earned money.

#2 ZOOKEEPER: Lame jokes, terrible plot and of course Kevin James. When will these terrible movies with talking animals stop! I mean what director would make the star of a movie a talking pig…yes that was a Kevin James reference. Not only does this movie get #2 worst movie of the year It also claims the title of all around dumbest kids movie of the year.

#3 OUR IDIOT BROTHER: Sit back relax and watch Paul Rudd destroy his movie career. This movie dubbed a laugh out loud by the critics, had not one person laughing out loud in theaters. This would not be the first time they have been utterly mistaken. With so many characters running into each other and having no real plot together, this movie definitely stank worse than the hippies it was full of. You know you have a terrible movie when the only funny part is a behind the scenes reference to Anchor Man during the credits.

#4 BUCKY LARSON: When you think of a skit about a geek that wants to be a porn star just like his parents, thousands of hilarious scenes and ideas come racing to mind…..It is just too bad that the same result did not happen for the writers. With Nick Swardsons’ awesome role in Grandmas Boy and hand in writing it you would expect great things to come from this kid. I mean the whole structure of this movie should have been completely tasteless and trashy adult humor but instead we got some kindergarten school yard bulls***.

#5 PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN 4: I love pirates always have always will but for the first time in a long time I was not able to make it through a whole movie and it’s time to blow this piece of Hollywood money plundering junk out of the water. With undertone as witty as The Little Mermaid this fourth movie in a what was once a fantastic series, is now droll and expected. You think this multimillion dollar company called Disney had enough cash they didn’t have to create this monster of a money sucker to ruin a series that could have easily turned into a cult classic. This is one of the only movies ever made that not even Johnny Depp could stop from sinking.

2011 Must See Movie

WARRIOR: Two brothers face the fight of a lifetime – and the wreckage of their broken family – within the brutal, high-stakes world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting in Lionsgate’s action/drama, WARRIOR. An ex-Marine haunted by a tragic past, Tommy Riordan returns to his hometown of Pittsburgh and enlists his father, a recovered alcoholic and his former coach, to train him for an MMA tournament awarding the biggest purse in the history of the sport.

Classic Movies Of The Month

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: A group of people hide from bloodthirsty zombies in a farmhouse. This horror thriller sparked the zombie craze and defined what zombies today are thought of. Written and directed by George A. Romero this is one any horror fan should have in their collection.

TRUE GRIT: John Wayne hits the big screen at his best in this western classic. A remake was just recently released, whether you liked it or not I suggest checking out the original.

CAPE FEAR: We are talking about the original here not the re-make. Law stands mute when confronted with its own overbearing shadow, and when that shadow is outlined with vengeance, all systems of jurisprudence are rendered impotent.

GONE WITH THE WIND: made in 1939 this classic love story takes place during the civil war. A Manipulative woman and a roguish man carry on a love affair.

ON THE WATERFRONT: This 1954 classic story of Mob informers was based on a number of true stories and filmed on location in and around the docks of New York and New Jersey. A riveting performance by Marlan Brando and Karl Malden as his priest.
