MMA FIght: Amputee vs. Limbs
Kyle Maynard MMA First Match: 0 out of 5 stars
So I don't do this quite often- I am movie reviewer, not a sports reviewer. But I have to definately write something about this. First of all....I really don't think Kyle Maynard should be doing MMA. I mean, you need hands and legs to strike punches and kicks....yet he doesn't even have one leg or one arm! Like....check out the link on youtube...he look like a dog, but a real dog can actually attack. I remember the time when my pet dog attack me- I give props to my dog. but not to Maynard.
Just out of curiosity- I think it would be completely gross touching a knub while fighting. How would you like if you were wrestling and got knubbed in your face? EWWWWW!!!!

Pursuit of Happyness Movie Compendium
Rating: 2 out of 5
I have mixed feelings with this movie, first of all...they spelled happiness wrong. They bring in the best directors and producers and yet they can't even spell happiness right.
Honestly, this is one of Will Smith's bad movies in his life. Hands down, Hancock was the best movie Will Smith has been in, along with I Am Legend.
Well I guess this movie is about him being a lazy father who can't seem to get his act together, forcing his baby's momma to leave and for him to take care of the fetus while he has to go on to work for free. Basically he is a poor example of a man: He can't pay the bills, he's irresponsible with family responsibility, he is irresponsible with material possessions, and he can't have a stable house for his child. I mean, he seems like a her0 at the end of the movie when he gets a job and all....but really, getting to that point- he handled it terribly.
So I guess what I got out of this movie is my life ambition. What am I pursuing to Happyness? I'm not quite sure...I guess I will be happy when I remodel a basement into a movie theater atmosphere. Thats my pursuit to happyness....because I Chinese David- I am movie reviewer.

The Rocker Movie Compendium
So this movie stars Rainn Wilson (better known as Dwight Shrute from The Office. He plays a drummer who was kicked out of his big hair band in the 80s and is washed up and living in his sister's attic. He is the last resort for his nephew's band to play at prom, so he gets back into the music business. This leads to the band practicing together using a webcam, which Dwight thinks is a microphone only, so he's practicing naked. It becomes a youtube hit and the band gets signed by a record company.
The movie focuses on many great story lines: how powerful youtube is, how you can get a record contract if you drum naked on the internet, and how emo kids these days are. Dwight gets to live out his dream of being a real rockstar in this movie, trashing hotel rooms and injuring himself with alcohol and roof jumps. The movie itself is kind of cheesy, but it is really funny. There are some very interesting statements by the band's manager about John Lennon's grave during one scene. Overall this movie is funny, and the plot isn't too stupid to not care about it. I recommend everyone see it, if only for one thing: the crazy step-dad who lives vicariously through his step-son's band.

The Wrestler- Movie Compendium
Movie Rating: 5 out of 5
The Wrestler is a Oscar winning movie. This movie basically tells a story of a once popular wrestler and is now, 20 years later- a washed up wrestler. This is a sad but true story of people in the wrestling business. It made me become aware of the wrestling business downside, only the top 30 wrestlers in WWE are deemed successful. Outside of that, it its a financial hardship to be a wrestler. Living paycheck to paycheck. Basically this wrestler who is in his 50's is taking a beating just so he can barely make ends meet. And basically wrestling is a lifestyle- even after the main character gets a heart attack- you are forced to wrestle because of the love of the business.
Well I have a take away from this movie- the little things is what shapes your life. For instance, its just one more hit of cocaine....or its just one more peek at looking at porn....or its one more Cheeseburger to eat. Basically the little things add up and you are forced into submission for that "little thing". Basically the Ram the wrestler is wrestling "one more match" and that last match has its consequences. So i encourage you fans- what are some little things you have going on that shapes your life- that can ultimately be your demise?
Well, this is an Oscar winning movie and I approve this movie. You can actually apply some of them themes of this movie into your life. Movie of the month: January 2009.

Twilight Movie Compendium (More guest commentary)
So first of all, I'd like to thank Youtube for letting me watch most of this movie without having to waste time at the theatre. (Sorry folks, the movie has been removed now) This movie sucked for many reasons, mostly because I thought I was at some stupid emo, My Chemical Romance convention for two hours of my life. This movie is way too serious and intense to be good. The vampires (everyone but the girl in white and the dude on the right) run really fast and play baseball for some reason. They can go out in the day time without vaporizing, so Blade has one up on Twilight for that. Also, the good vampires only eat animals, but the bad ones eat people, so the blonde dude in the poster is chasing the girl in white for about 20 minutes of the movie. That part is actually a bit interesting, as he hunts her and her blood sucker friends try to hide her. Most of this movie is about the chick and the good vampire falling in love or something... do vampires love??
Overall, the special effects sucked, the acting was way over the top and they didn't have the Native American guy turn into a warewolf yet. Clearly he will be one in the next stupid movie they make. If you want to watch a good vampire movie, watch the Blade series. If you want to watch a chick flick, watch Wimbledon (that is actually a good one). This movie sucks (pun intended) as a Vampire movie and sucks (no pun intended) as a chick flick. I think even Herb would hate this pile of crap. For everyone's benefit youtube "The twilight before Christmas" it is much better. Overall, don't waste your time with this movie, and if you are a teenage girl, I'm sorry I made fun of your favorite movie of all time.

A Christmas Story- Movie Compendium
Rating: o out of 5
This movie was the biggest waste of time of my life. I guess this boy wanted a toy gun for Christmas and basically the story revolves around his passion to get this gun. Well, I guess he got his gun for Christmas (the climax of the movie...). This was stupid and I can't believe this movie was put out in 1983 as a family movie! It was so violent! They should have rated this movie R!
Why do I think this movie needs to be Rated R:
- The boy beat up a boy senseless.
- There was a stripper lamp.
- The Santa Clause was insanely violent, throwing kids everywhere
- Kids swear in this movie every 3 minutes
Speaking of Rated R, I would like to talk about my favorite wrestler, the Rated R Super Star- EDGE! Here is a pic of him:
Edge is Awesome unlike this stupid movie.

Eagle Eye Movie Compendium
Rating: 5 out of 5
Eagle Eye is the 2008 Most Underrated Movie of the Year! Old hags like Roger Ebert things this movie is bland but I personally think this movie is epic. This movie has a lot of action scenes and a great story line. You should watch this movie. Basically if someone called me and told me to jump out a window, I would SO do it! Obviously there is a reason if someone tells me to jump out of a window so I would do it without hesitation, so if you ever want to tell me to do a command, call me: 614-804-6988.
Ok, so this Shia Lebowel actor...I don't really like him as an actor, but I guess he's better than Mark Wahlberg running around in The Happening and New Kids on the Block.
Speaking of boy bands, if I had to rate the best boyband of all time, it has to be LFO.
Basically this band is a hybrid of New Kids on the Block. For instance, they have this one song called Summer Girls and here are the lyrics:
New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits, and Chinese food makes me sick!
I so agree with LFO, Chinese foods does make me sick! Yuck!

Hancock Movie Compendium
Movie Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
This has got to be the best movie I have ever seen by Will Smith. I love the first 5 minutes of the movie because it shows the underprivileged people- Asians to be part of a block buster movie. Besides Jackie Chan and Jet Li, no other asians gets to be in movies!
Basically this movie revolves around the theme of "Transformation". Will Smith transforms from a drunk to a happy drunk in this movie. I can relate to this, I have transformed myself as you can see in the following pictures:
Transformation-
I would like to diverge my movie compendium capabilities and tell you my personal testimony of the theme transformation.
This summer in Las Vegas, after 12 weeks of free buffets at the Venetian, my aunts daily thanksgiving home cooking, not working out because its to hot in Las Vegas to go outside, and working a sit down job- my body went from 182 pounds to 199 pounds. I was physically not fit- my friend Sam told me I was moving awfully slow in racquetball, my mom herself called me "big", and my knees were hurting me.
I asked my roommate Chase and begged him so badly to let me workout with him. He said I can workout with him and he even told me he will guide and mentor me, under one condition. He told me at any circumstance I can't COMPLAIN at the gym or else he will stop working out with me immediately. This was an eye opener because I have finally realized I'm a complainer, and a complainer doesn't make it fun for me or the other person in any situation. I told him I will not complain ever, but will only put the extra effort. I have complain zero times so far.
This was a huge step because I've come to realize I am a big complainer when it comes to anything labor-like, which is basically everything. But throughout my transformation, I've decided to stop complaining when it comes to labor and in general. After putting less effort in complaining about how its hard to workout, and more in working out, I have become mentally and physically fit and quite possibly I am in the best shape of my life at this point.
The mornings where I wake up 530am to 7am to get myself in the gym, all the mornings I had to motivate myself that I can do it, all the aches and pain, the 1,260 reps of arm dips, the weekly 40 laps in the pool, the weekly 30 miles of biking, walking in 17 degree weather with pooring freezing rain to the gym, the 11 pull-ups I can do now compared to .5 pull-ups my first week, and the 2,340 reps of ab crunches was well worth it. In 13 weeks, I have lost 25.6 pounds going from 199 pounds to now 173.4 pounds.
There is no quick way to losing weight- all those ab lounges, pills, drinks, diet systems will not get you there. The only way to lose weight is this secret formula that I created that diet companies don't want you to know: Workout, eat a normal calorie intake, persistence, and faith. If you would like me to explain more about this, feel free to get a hold of me. I encourage you guys be fit for the kingdom and not be afraid to take the first step. The first step is always the hardest to take but its smooth sailing after that. I truly feel I got a second chance with my health. I know you guys can do it- if I, Chinese David can do it, I know you can do it.
Thank you so much Chase for holding my hand to the gym, I can now go to the gym with confidence and independence. Sam, thank you for playing racquetball, swimming, and running. Thank you unknown person named Steve at the Arc who also goes in 6am and motivates me to become more fit than you. And thank you God.
Oh Hancock- must watch!

Burn After Reading Movie Compendium
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Ok, my good friend MattyP recommended this movie to me. At first I was hesitant to watch this movie because I love watching movies on my own terms. But, I am a movie reviewer and I wanted to expanded my compendium for the benefit of the public.
If i had to sum up this movie, this has got to be Convuluted Movie of the Year! And I give this raved reviews for being out of the box. I strongly recommend this movie. Basically this movie revolves around 3 seperate stories and they eventually come together and the CIA is retarded.
Ok, Brad Pitt (Youtube Video os Brad Pitt in the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmErBDEiEAM )- I'm sorry man but you lost credibility in your acting abilities in this movie! You swoped so low and I know I can act better than you! You also look old- just like your ugly girlfriend, big lips Angelina Jolie

Tropic Thunder Movie Compendium (Guest Commentary from Dan)
5/5 Stars
So this movie suprised me. Obviously by the picture on the left, it's going to be awesome. There's a Kung-Fu Panda, Iron Man playing a black man, and Ben Stiller. What's not to love about that?? So the best part of this moive is Robert Downey Jr. playing an actor who gets way too into character and has a skin procedure done to make him black for his next movie. He acts like an African American man from Lousiana most of the movie, which makes it awesome. Jack Black plays a heroin addict, so himself, who is going through withdrawal and makes crazy promises and statements.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan Movie Compendium
This has got to be Adam Sandler's best movie without a doubt. Comedy of the year 2008. The first 15 minutes of the movie, Adam Sandler wears random Mariah Carey shirts....how awesome is that!
Well this movie basically is about Adam Sandler wanting to get out of the military life to be a hair stylist at Paul Mitchells. The fight scenes in this movie are so fake its funny.
The quote of the movie is : "It's nothing, its just Neosporin- I use it for cuts and gential sores"
Well, honestly- I bet people have used Neosporin for gentital sores. Like the people who can't afford Healthcare. You know what, I bet the company that makes Neosporin will make less money now that Obama is elected. Obama is for free healthcare as a nation....well if we get that free healthcare, there will be less demand for Neosporin due to people actually getting their gential warts checked.

God's Army- Movie Compendium
Rating 4/5
Well a little about this movie. It was ranked number #21 best religious movies of all time. It was made on a $300K budget, and its about Missionaries within Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint. I found this movie at Half Price Books and I figure since it says "God's Army" it should be epic. Little did I know it was on the LDS religion.
Religious views aside- I think it really gave me a perspective of what missionaries go through- rejections, attacks, slammed doors, slander, and among other things. What I notice is these missionaries turn the other cheek on these things and most importantly pray faithfully God would work on them and become Spiritually filled.
I found it interesting in this movie that a half reluctant missionary went on to commit 2 years of his life to do this, and this movie presented his coming of age in becoming a dedicated missionary.
Did I see any cult like example in this movie? No.
I just don't understand why people bash LDS so harshly and make fun of this or any other religion. There is a way to disagree with a religion and not make fun or bash it. Most of the time, I have heard examples of mockery of other religion outside one's religion. That's so disrespectful.
Am i Spiritually filled with the LDS religion? No, but I found this to be an interesting movie.
Epic Movie- Movie Compendium
Movie Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Ok, I'll be honest- If i died and I can only give a friend one gift, I would give Epic Movie as my gift to them.
This movie is crazy, it dabbles into- X-Men, Willy Wonka, Superman, Divinci Code, Paris Hilton, and etc. Seriously, this movie gives the most bang for your buck- its like you can get 8 movies in one dvd.
When a movie title names itself "Epic Movie" YOU KNOW IT'S EPIC! Speaking of the word epic, I would like to share you a story revolving around epic:
So my friend Chase and I- we decided to go to the gas station after a long night of studying to get some Powerade to quench our thirst. Well, i decided to tie my shoe while the clerk that doesn't know how to tie a tie was ringing me up on the cash register. While I was adjusting my shoe- I saw a dollar on the ground. Without hesistation i KNEW what i was going to do with that dollar...buy a lottery ticket at the gas station. So I decided to buy a loterry ticket scratch off and I won $7. Thats Epic.
I'm so Epic that I can tie my shoe at a gas station and in 2 minutes leave with a drink and $7 extra dollars. I don't think people are epic like me, but I would like you to share your thoughts if you deem epic.
So basically this movie is like me- Epic. If you enjoy the presence of someone Epic like me, then you will enjoy the movie: Epic Movie

Ok....I want to say everyone's views is in-line with each other except for one friend and that is Sam Woods. Sam has laughed about this movie and he deems it non-sense!
First of all Sam, when the movie starts with its first line, "The Sun is Dying"...that is EPIC. From the people I have shown this movie to, Chase, Dan, Herb, etc. Their mouth's dropped is shock and awe. Apparantly you don't care about the sun is dying.
I have to be honest movie compendium seekers, this has got to be the MOVIE OF THE YEAR 2007! The movie encompasses science, mystery, thriller, and aerospace.
Gosh when I finish watching this movie, I was left speechless- along with Chase, MattyP, and Dan. Unlike Sam....he just laughed. Shame on him. I hope the sun dies wherever he moves to...
But really, this movie basically need to drop a bomb the size of Manhattan into the sun. So this my friends is for real........

Idiocracy Movie Review
Youtube link of the Intro of the movie Idiocracy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1sE1E3z7jU
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Before I write a review, I highly encourage you to watch the above Youtube link of the intro of the movie. I completely agree that smarter people are having less and less babies while all the less educated people are having babies!
So basically this movie is about a prostitute and an army guy get inducted into a top secret military program- where they are frozen only to wake up 500 years later in a completely new society. The society in 2500 is ran by ignorant people.
You know this goes far beyond a movie review, there is soo much depth in this movie. It toys with the future of mankind and the truthfulness of how a prevalence of the less educated are born compared to smarter fetuses being born. It could very much one day happen that society in general will be "dumber" in the near future. I don't see this as a comedy movie, i find it as a serious issue!
Good thing Obama solved the problem by essentially providing free health care in the near future! What is the point of working if I can get a government check, free health insurance, food stamps, goverment cheese, subsidizied housing, etc. I just seems like I can live a comfortable life doing this rather than working hard. If i sit at my house all day, doing nothing and collect government cheese, I will get dumber and apparently 25% of our nation like this! Shoot, if I work hard, i will get taxed 35% anyways to help the government cheese.
Well I highly recommend this movie as it is a great comedy movie as well as a warning of what our future will be in 500 years.

The Happening
Before I review this movie...I just want to say MARK WAHLBERG IS SOOO NOT MY TYPE. I don't understand why girls think he is sexy. Maybe because he was in the "NKOTB" group and all the teenagers who thought he was sexy in the 80s are now middle age, pregenant, and desperate for a subpar at best- good looking guy.

Iron Man Movie Compendium
Score: 6/10
I can take Iron Man a couple ways. Something I can relate too and something I can't relate too. The way I can relate to this movie is that I will possibly be working for a company that does aerospace/missle defense. Thats why I like this movie, I can relate to Robert Downy Jr, people are just up your grill with your missles. I would be terrified for my life if I start working for the aerospace/missle defense company. I would be completly horrified at the fact I might get kidknapped by terrorists!
In my opinion this movie was better than Batman. Heath Ledger was overrated, having to use his death to gain ticket sales. And you know this movie is certified when you plug in Burger King into the movie. Burger King is way better than McDonalds.
