The Top 10 Best Movie Dads

1 Comment

In celebration for Father’s Day who are the best movie Dads, in Hollywood films? At the top of my head, I’ll name ten of my favorites.

Enjoy the list:

  1. Rocky Balboa (played by Sylvester Stallone for the Rocky series) – The character that made Sly a star. This would be my first pick. Sly plays a father very well and more realistic than any other movie Dads, in my opinion.
  2. Don Vito Corleone (played by Marlon Brando for the first “Godfather” film) – An epic performance by Brando and my favorite Godfather movie. Love this film too much.
  3. Clark Griswold (played by Chevy Chase for the “National Lampoon’s Vacation” series) – Griswold is one of the greatest movie Dads ever, so he deserves this spot. I think it would be cool if there can be one last Vacation movie with the Griswold family reunited.
  4. Jor-El (played by Marlon Brando for “Superman: The Movie” and “Superman II”) – This role is Marlon’s best acting in his career, in my opinion. Such an amazing performance.
  5. Bryan Mills (played by Liam Neeson for the “Taken” film) – Would it be badass to have a Dad like this? Have a father where he goes out to rescue kidnapped kids on their own? The “Taken” movie just rules!
  6. Dad Meiks (played by Bill Paxton for the horror film “Frailty”) – Imagine what it would be like to have a serial killer Dad? I think it would be kind of fun, honestly.
  7. George McFly (played by Crispin Glover for the first “Back to the Future” film)  – He has always been my favorite character from the first “Back to the Future” film. Crispin Glover was so perfect for that role, nobody else could play that character but him.
  8. Michael Sullivan Sr. (played by Tom Hanks for the “Road to Perdition” film) – Another mobster Dad, but a great movie and one of my favorite characters Tom Hanks ever played. Love this movie.
  9. Robert Wakefield (played by Michael Douglas for the film “Traffic”) – A great role by Michael Douglas with some really good acting. His performance is underrated in this movie, I think. Wish he got more recognition for it.
  10. Roy Neary (played by Richard Dreyfuss for the film “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”) – This is one of my favorite Steven Spielberg movies ever made. Man, I love this movie so much, I’ll never get tired of it. It’s Spielberg’s best sci-fi film, in my opinion.

That’s all, enjoy the list. Coming up next, top 10 Best TV Dads.

Cool Video: Ultimate Warrior’s “Karma Coming to Collect” videos on Hulk Hogan is online…

Leave a comment

I just got done watching Ultimate Warrior’s 8 part series of videos (plus a bonus) of Ultimate Warrior trashing Hulk Hogan. Warrior explains everything in detail about how Hulk Hogan is a liar, backstabber, selfish person, and ego-maniac. I’m totally on Warrior’s side. He’s right about everything he said about Hulk Hogan.

Warrior went on to saying about how Hogan lied about burying the hatchet with Randy Savage before his death. He went on to explaining how Hogan destroyed Warrior’s career and himself as a person. He gave an example of it, by saying Hulk Hogan made a movie, called, “The Ultimate Weapon”, where Hulk’s character in that film is similar to Warrior’s. He also went on to saying that Hulk Hogan wants to be positive in his life on twitter, yet, Warrior thinks everything about Hulk Hogan’s life is negative (which I also agree with, btw). He talked about how he destroyed his family: Linda, Brooke and Nick. Speaking of Nick Hogan, Warrior says that when Nick acts like a jerk, he gets that from Hulk which I also agree with.

Warrior also goes on about how Hulk Hogan is a sex addict and how he is into drugs and all that stuff. He explained how Hulk Hogan buried wrestler, Edge, when he retired from wrestling not too long ago. He also went into detail on how Hulk buries other wrestlers legacy.

More thoughts on the videos, I was very impressed. Warrior is a very intelligent and honest man, I respect him for that. Plus, Warrior is a great speaker too. Hulk Hogan is on his twitter page saying that he refuses to watch his videos like the coward that he is. He also says that he wishes Warrior well and prays for him.

Hulk Hogan is clearly scared. Look at his twitter.

I think Warrior hit the nail on the head of why everyone hates Hulk Hogan so much. Warrior explained everything very nicely. I agree with Warrior, Hogan needs to pack his bags and leave the wrestling business already. Hogan is doing a terrible job with TNA. Ratings are getting low because of him. TNA doesn’t need Hulk Hogan to be successful, they can do fine without him.

I applaud Warrior for a job well done. These videos are great. Watch through the whole thing when you have the time. You can watch the videos at Warrior’s blog, here.

Sit back, relax, laugh and enjoy. I had a blast watching them! Thanks Warrior!

Netflix Pick: Lost – Season 4

Leave a comment

So earlier this week, I have just finished watching “Lost – Season 4” on Netflix. So far, I think this is the best season of them all. Just like the last season the survivors expected to get rescued by a freighter that they just learned about. Turns out, that those people on the freighter aren’t there at the island to rescue them, they turned out to be evil people. Benjamin Linus, the guy who was looking like to be a villain from the last season is turning out to be good by helping the survivors of Oceanic 815 survive from the people on the freighter boat.

The freighter has a group of evil mercernaries and Benjamin Linus announced that one of the survivors is a spy on the freighter. I won’t reveal who the spy is, you’ll figure it out for yourself. A man named, Frank Lapidus (played by Jeff Fahey) is a helicopter pilot of the freighter and he was the only one that was willing to help get the survivors off the island so they can go back home to the United States.

The leader of the mercernaries group, Martin Keamy, in which Keamy has a dead man’s switch device under his arm. If he dies and when his heart stops beating, there is a bomb on the freighter that the bomb will explode. This season focuses on Benjamin Linus trying to help the survivors fight off the people on the freighter that is trying to kill them.

That’s enough with the plot. On with my thoughts of this season. I think this is the best season so far. I think the action scenes in this season is very good and fun. I think this season is also more dramatic and more deep than the earlier seasons. I liked the flash forward scenes. This season would show what each character is like when they’re back home from the island. Back home after the island, Jack appears to be a drug addict on pills. Michael appears to be suicidal. Hurley is back in the mental hospital, and Sayid turned out to be a dangerous killer.

My only complaint that they should have left what happened to Jin, a little more unpredictable. They made it to easy to figure out what was going to happen to Jin, the Korean guy later in the show. This show brings in a mix of genres into one: science fiction, fantasy, romance, action, mystery, suspense, comedy, drama, etc.

I’m almost done with the show, two more seasons left. I will start “Season 5” this weekend sometime. I’m taking a day off watching “Lost” today.

Cool Video: Ultimate Warrior says that the Hulk Hogan shoot videos are still coming later today…

Leave a comment

This is not the 55 minute uncensored shoot video on Hulk Hogan yet, but Ultimate Warrior here did respond to Hulk Hogan’s twitter video. In Hulk’s video, Hulk asked Warrior if he wanted to bury the hatchet and put the feud behind them. Warrior said in this video that is not going to happen. Warrior is not the forgive and forget type like I said before, and he said the videos are still coming today.

Warrior also explained why he is going after Hogan. Warrior said Hogan destroyed him as a person, his career, and his fans. Warrior had enough and wants to put an end to it.

I also agree with what he said that Hulk Hogan destroyed Hulkamania. Hogan blames other wrestlers for destroying Hulkamania, but I totally agree that Hogan did it all to himself.

I once respected Hulkamania. Hulk Hogan was a childhood hero of mine like everyone else, but I lost all my respect for Hogan because of his overblown ego and his power of destroying other wrestler’s legacy. Karma’s a bitch, right Hulk?

I’m looking forward to the videos later today, and like I said, I’ll post ’em asap. It’s gonna be interesting. Yes, Warrior’s shoot videos on Hogan will get the press going wild, the media will be all over it for sure.

Cool Video: I think Brad Pitt’s new movie, “Moneyball” looks great!

Leave a comment

After a long break from the big screen, Brad Pitt is finally back with two new movies this year of 2011. “The Tree of Life” and now “Moneyball”. The “Moneyball” trailer dropped today and I was very impressed with it. The movie looks interesting to me.

I can understand why Brad is staying away from movies more ’cause he has a family to take care of with his superstar girlfriend, Angelina Jolie. When Angie has more than 5 adopted kids to take care of, that’s a lot of work.

Enjoy the trailer, here. I’m definitely seeing it in theater when it comes out, I think.

BREAKING NEWS: Metallica collaborates on new album with Lou Reed!!!

Leave a comment

Metallica have been pretty secretive about their new album for a long while, and now I can see why! Metallica revealed the huge news today that the band has collaborated to make their new album with the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Lou Reed!!! Lou collaborated on the whole album with Metallica, not just one or two songs. For you doubters out there who don’t believe it, Metallica posted pics of the band in the studio with Lou just so they can show you that they are not making it up!

Read it on the band’s website, here.

I have a feeling there may be at least one Lou Reed cover song on the new album. Wouldn’t surprise me. Looking forward to it now.

Repor: Richard Donner speaks on how the “Superman” movie theme was conducted…

Leave a comment

In celebration of the new Superman Blu Ray boxset, Richard Donner sits down for an interview with UGO to talk about John Williams amazing score, for “Superman: The Movie”.

Enjoy the read, here.

Will John Williams score the music for Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” film? I’m pretty sure Zack and Chris Nolan will get him. It’s not a Superman movie if John doesn’t score the new film, so he probably will score it. It’ll be a shame if John gets replaced.
