I don't know if it is just my blah mood, but Sabotage has to be the worst Alfred Hitchcock movie I've ever seen.

Sam Worthington is hot. But, his accent goes between Australian and pseudo American constantly. The director obviously didn't care because I didn't notice him slipping into his native accent much in "Avatar". Still, the original Perseus was constantly without his shirt back in the early 1980s original. I want to see Sam's version of Perseus ( Read more... )

I wish I had something interesting to write. Blah. I need to start writing papers for both of my history classes. I think this is the main reason I didn't pick history as a major. I really dislike writing papers. Although, I think I write pretty good papers once I finally get around to it. I just have a really difficult time starting. ( Read more... )

With Spring Break approaching and having completed my math test today, I decided to give my brain a well deserved rest and sit in front of the tube and watch some classic films. First up, was Dumbo.

Well, except for the faces of Prince Charming and Snow White. They look a bit odd. But, they look the way they were drawn. I can't imagine that the audiences ( Read more... )

Coraline was not really what I expected. I guess the best way to describe it would be to call it a children's horror movie. Technically, it was good. It looked beautiful. In an eerie sort of way. I just wasn't really expecting a creepy movie about a parallel world with everyone having button eyes and her quest to escape this world. ( Read more... )

I continue on my movie watching tear. I reviewed them all on Facebook and rather than type something original I'll just cut and paste what I wrote ( Read more... )

I just wasted 90 minutes watching a movie that didn't have a plot and seemed like just an excuse for the cast and crew to get a working vacation in a lot of the best cities in the world. It seemed more like the pilot to a tv series than it did like a movie.
