Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li Movie Compendium

Rating: 0/5 stars

There was a Street Fighter movie made in the 90s starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia which was seen as the poster-child of why video games make bad movies. That movie was so bad because of plot, acting, and corniness.

Enter the newest installment of the Street Fighter movie "franchise." The Legend of Chun-Li obviously focuses on Chun-Li's story in the world of Bangkok, Thailand ruled by M. Bison. Ironically, M. Bison (supposed to be an Asian man in the video game) is played by the bad guy from Walking Tall (a very white dude). His character thus seems a little strange. Also, the violence in this movie is self-indulgent to say the least. Half of the things that happen are so uneccessary that they seem ridiculous.

Also strangely present in this movie is a lesbian dance scene between Chun-Li and M. Bison's woman. It lasts for like 5 minutes and is so freaking strange.

Overall, this movie might be in the top 5 of the worst movies of all time... maybe. Definately do not waste the 8 bucks or whatever you pay to see it in theaters. If you are really bored in about 3 weeks (since that's how long it will be until it's on video) rent it. Michael Clark Duncan is the bomb in this movie though.

Purple Rain Movie Compendium

Rating: 1/5 stars

So this movie is basically a 2-hour music video that centers around "The Kid" (Prince) and his band (the Revoloution) trying to make it big while playing regularly at a club. The popular act is of course Morris Day and The Time, so Prince's band is living in their shadow. He meets some skank, and there are a lot of inappropriate scenes that need skipped, but there is a bright spot in the movie...

No, it's NOT THE ACTING!!!

It's the three amazing performances of the movie. The first is Morris Day and the Time performing one of the greatest songs of all time, "Jungle Love." The second is by Morris Day and the Time and it is "The Bird." This features an amazing dance ("The Bird) and a lot of "Skwak!! Halleluia!". This song is absolutely awesome. The final is of course the Magnum Opus of "Purple Rain" performed by the Revolution. It's the climax of the movie, so it's pretty good. Overall this movie has an awful plot, even worse acting, and freaking sweet music.... so it's a really bad movie, but a decent music video.

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.
