      <title>8.25 Rating - KUNG FU HUSTLE - by Xeon</title>
      <link>http://www.fingerprintsmudges.com/?movie=6</link>
      <description>Was waiting for this movie for months.  More exactly, since the release of the North American PSP where you will find a preview for this movie on the demo disc that is included with the Value Pack PSP-1001 K/ 98500 package.

The running gags and stupid humor in this movie make it worth watching.  If you aren't into stupid humor, then you don't have a sense of humor.  The Chinese guy always showing his butt in every scene he was in was funny in itself.

A nice array of kung fu fighting.  It's Jackie Chan style over the edge, with more comedy then expected in a kung fu movie.

Watch as a bunch of low-lifes become something, as they try to defend themselves from the strong Axe Gang. -- Rating: 8.25</description>

      <description>For some unknown reason, the character Vin Diesel plays, is far too real and so damn anti-rules.  Reminds me of myself.  His arrogance is so well played.  Makes me wish he was a chick so I could desire the character in a lustful way.  If you don't know me, then you don't realize I rollerblade into my video store, and my local bank, regardless of what the employees might think.

The jokes in this movie are cool.  As for the graphical special effects, and the overall movie itself, they rock.  You will feel stoked watching this movie.  The only thing that I feel was not upto par with the rest of the movie was the fake ass avalanche scene.  I guess they were worried Vin would damage himself if he got run over by real snow.  Fuckers.  Pansies.  Posers.

For any true X-Gamer, the storyline and characters are real in the sense of how X-Gamers are.  Always wanting to try new things and take themselves to the limits.  And you skateboard fans will enjoy seeing Tony Hawk in the movie for a short scene.

If you have a big ego, you will love this movie.  If you have no balls, and a tiny penis, avoid this movie, cause Vin will overpower your puny sack.  If you have the balls to grind without racking your nuts on the bar, then this movie is for you.  The rest of you pansy bitches should be outside panhandling for loose change on the street corner trying to scrape up enough money to buy a PSP so you can watch this movie on it.

If you are too cheap to buy a PSP *cough* loser *cough* then go out and rent the DVD.  Just don't rub your lustful balls on the underside of the disc, as that isn't good for your DVD player. -- Rating: 8.50</description>

      <description>There I was, on the way to the Battle Creek Mall from the Charlotte, Michigan area. It was either engage in conversation with the wife-to-be or give myself something to do. Well, with indecent exposure laws tougher than ever, I had but one option left.
 
I recently purchased XXX with limp-wristed Vin Diesel as our hero. Yes, folks, he flames. Deal with it. Anywhoo, The opening scene has German band greats "Rammstein" opening the movie with some great rock music. It's a very well done action movie, with guns blazing and excellent stunts performed throughout.
 
Problems include lame dialogue/scripting. Vin Diesel mentions something about the "Xander Zone" *cough*-lame-*cough* And don't tell me I couldn't do a better script, it's called "Not On Easter." And if I could get people to cast, it'd be damn well done by 2 months ago.
 
Anyway, back to the movie. Despite it's tiny and lame pitfalls, the movie is a must for your PSP. It should be only $19.99. If you're paying more than that, you're getting robbed. -- Rating: 8.00</description>

      <title>8.70 Rating - SPIDER-MAN 2 - by Joel</title>
      <link>http://www.fingerprintsmudges.com/?movie=1</link>
      <description>Although at times cheesy, this movie is a classic. The stunning follow-up to the original Spider-man. All those little boys (Some of them 40 years old, mind you) still wish they were wearing spider web-pattered tights. And for good reason. For some strange reason, there's some cake scene which still makes no damn sense, (I was just told that it was because she has a crush on him. No wonder why she burns herself on the pan! DUHHH!)  The WHOLE of the movie is still a wower. That said, I must say that I think the first is still a tiny pinch better. For one though, I do enjoy that he owns up to Ben's death. I like the Doc Ock more than the Goblin, but there's just something that bugs me about them, I don't know what it is. Goblin had that stupid Power Rangers thing going on, and Doc Ock, well, you get the point.

Peter Parker is much more responsible in this film, and his identity is shown to Mary Jane. The overwhelming emotional power in this movie is just great. It's very nice also, of SONY to include this movie as a pack-in. At least for the first million PSPs that they have sold or will sell for the most part. To watch this even on the PSP is simply breathtaking. I love the part with the moped, just watch. The PSP offers no slow-down, and handles the action just as a DVD player; er, UMD player should.

If I had to score this movie against the original...Well, the original would win. Not by much, though, as I've said. Which in my opinion is more than fair. It's an excellent movie, worth a rental and even a purchase. So enjoy the flick. -- Rating: 8.70</description>

      <title>9.20 Rating - ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO - by Joel</title>
      <link>http://www.fingerprintsmudges.com/?movie=3</link>
      <description>Okay, first things first. I had seen Desperado, but had never seen El Mariachi. I was a smidgen skeptical, this being the last in the trilogy, but saw the cast on the box and figured, hey, it's probably worth a gamble. Well, I had to donate plasma, which, since I am a busy person, was going to be a pleasant and welcome opportunity.

Well, I laid down in the big burgundy recliner they so generously allowed me to lay in and popped in the UMD. And mind my French, but-Johnny Depp is the SHIT! I mean, I love the part (spoiler ahead) where he gets his eyes plucked out and he still saves the day with blood running down where his eyes were. Just fucking awesome. I think this sequel is definitely better the first one, without a doubt. All this action on one tiny but so huge at the same time-screen. Takes your breath away to see this much going on at once.

Buy this movie. -- Rating: 9.20</description>

      <title>9.50 Rating - ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO - by Xeon</title>
      <link>http://www.fingerprintsmudges.com/?movie=3</link>
      <description>This movie is one of the best I've seen so far in the past few years.  I give it a very high rating and would love to see more movies in the future by the director Robert Rodriguez.

Most of what happens in the movie is life-like almost real.  The characters are so believable and creative.  Almost god-like in it's entirety.

This is a must see.  Watch it twice if you missed anything.  Or rewind a bit, and then play back.  The action scenes are choreographed in such a way that you would think only selling your soul could get you that good. But I believe Rodriguez did so without that, since he's a man of heart.  As is the storyline of this movie. -- Rating: 9.50</description>

      <title>9.00 Rating - KILL BILL VOLUME 1 - by Joel</title>
      <link>http://www.fingerprintsmudges.com/?movie=4</link>
      <description>Of all the movies I've seen, with all the same old formulas, whether they're tried and true or not, Martial arts movies can be rather bland. When you feast your eyes on this, know one simple thing. It's a Tarantino flick. That said, the story-telling, not just the direction, mind you, is phenomenal. There's even an animation sequence too awesome to describe here, which I seriously wish could have been made into a full length picture it was so sweet. But from start to finish, it was awesome. I love the pimped out truck the Bride drives, too, that shit is sweet. Anyway, long story short, if you're a guy who's been subjected to chick flicks and you need to blow off some steam, this movie is a must have. Also, if you're one of those biker chicks who like to see limbs getting chopped off and blood spraying this way and that, well, you too, are included. -- Rating: 9.00</description>

      <title>7.50 Rating - HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS - by Xeon</title>
      <link>http://www.fingerprintsmudges.com/?movie=2</link>
      <description>Deep love story with many twists and turns in the plot as people change sides unexpectedly.  A vast amount of computerized visuals for many of the stunts involved in this movie, such as the flying daggers.

Though, the squirrel tied to the sword to make it sound as if guy is still off in the distance was the most offbeat thing I've ever seen in a Chinese martial arts movie. -- Rating: 7.50</description>
