mega movie post.
It's like I challenged myself to waste as much time as possible by watching movies before classes start TOMORROW!
So I saw a whole bunch of movies over the last few days after coming back to NYC and I feel like rating and mini-reviewing them all so that's what I'm gonna do.
I'll put my 'reviews' under cuts so not everyone has to read 'em. Some of them have pics and no spoilers mostly except I think only for Dark Knight:
Iron Man:
- Robert Downey Jr. whom I had confused with Cuba Gooding Jr. until like a year ago was EFFING AWESOME. THe way he delivers his dialogues...so fucking cool.
- Tony Stark and Pepper *squee* Loved pretty much every scene between the two. It's so great how they talk simultaneously and understand each other. Again such awesome dialogue and so well delivered.
- Why can't I have 'Jarvis' in my home?
- THE ENDING. YES YES YES. So freaaaaking cool.
- Overall...Tony Stark was just awesome fun to watch.
Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2
- 'Twas nice. Not a waste of my time..
- The British guy involved with America Ferrera was weird though, and really tall.
- Blake Lively was hot.
- Rory was cool. I mean Lena.
- Santorini!! So pretty, and loved that they all went there. It was sweet.
THE DARK KNIGHT:
I just feel like capitalizing it whenever I type it out because of well many reasons.
- First of all, my friends and I paid $21.00 to see it and we missed like 17 minutes of it because the trains were delayed and we took a cab. WTF. And I was the one that was adamant about seeing it at the IMAX because of the 3-D ness but turns out when they said that this film was 'one of the first motion pictures to be shot with IMAX cameras' that just meant that the resolution would be spectacular and you'd be able to see Chrisitian Bale's beautiful face span the 3 story high screen. I feel bad because I appreciated the extreme sharpness but I'm not sure if my friends really cared for it that much. ALSO this isn't the first movie I promised would be 3-D and wasn't. So retarded.
- Heath. Ledger. was. so. spectacular. As I'm sure everyone that's seen the movie has said. But holy crap he sent chills down my back whenever he was on screen. So so so eerie and spectacular.
- Michael Caine! I like him a lot. My friend told me the other day how her friend at camp's aunt was/is Michael Caine's girlfriend. WTH.
That means I am merely 5 degrees away from Christian Bale!
SPOILER:
- Loved the twists in the film. Like with Gordon's death...PSYCHE. And then the freakkiiing LIE about where Rachel and Dent were. Holy crap that was not expected. I actually thought that Bruce changed his mind and decided to go after Dent but my brother was like no, the Joker just lied.
CANNOT WAIT FOR NEXT INSTALLMENT.
Laurel Canyon
- Watched it for Bale. Looked different but good still.
- Weird ass movie. Some parts were pretty disturbing.
- HATE THE UNSATISFYING ENDING UGGGGGGGH. I guess I'm just not smart enough to interpret what happens afterwards. Some inconclusive endings are good...like Little Miss Sunshine. Loved the semi-inconclusive ending. But I was pretty confused about this one and I felt like I missed something.
Wanted:
- James McAvoy was lovely as an action hero.
- More lovely as the sick and tired employee though. But overally lovely. It was pretty weird hearing his "American" accent though.
- Some really cool scenes and tricks and stuff. Loved the twist. Nicely done.
- Not an awesome plot but then again not every movie can have INSANE plot like TDK so yea.
- Fun watch and will probably watch it again some day.
- Oh. Angelina Jolie looked pretty, albeit incredibly skinny, but hot nonetheless.
Sex and the City:
- Really fun to watch. Loved Carrie's insane outfits as well as her gorgeously normal ones.
- Jennifer Hudson was so random but I didn't really mind her.
- Too much unnecessary nudity. Which I guess should've been anticipated but I think I always mostly watched the censored eps on CW11 or TBS so I was a little bothered by it.
- Nice plot and some funny parts.
- Overall a sweet and pretty (outfits, scenery etc) movie.
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day:
- A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
- I really like Amy Adams and her weird finger twittering Enchanted ways. She's fun to watch.
- Frances McDormand was also really cool. It was funny because I saw her in Laurel Canyon the night before and she was so so so weird and out of control in that one and then seeing her be incredibly polite in this was weird. But she was awesome.
- LEE PACE I LOVE YOU. Such such such such such an adorable face and his voice is so damn manly...damn. Loved his British accent. I'd forgotten how manly his voice was...BUT EEEEEEEEEEEEEE. SO CUTE.
Yay Lee Pace:
The Fall:
My last movie before classes start. Ugh.
- YES FOR FREAKING BEAUTIFULLY MADE FANTASY FILMS.Normally I don't like super fantasy movies but this was very Pan's Labyrinth-y.
- I RECCOMMEND IT TO EVERYBODY. EVERY. BODY.
- So visually pleasing. jrio;ljntehjoitjh. And it wasn't as scary as Pan's, or meaningful as much I guess, but still very very wonderful.
- Lee Pace. Again. FUCKING ADORABLE. AND THE LITTLE GIRL OMFG SO CUTE. At times I didn't know who to look at and had to watch the scene twice because both the people on screen were so adorable and lovable. But yea. It was so beautiful and sweet.
CAPS BC UGH SO PRETTTYY.
Oh man such a long entry. Hah.
Maybe I'll have interesting entries to post once classes start, but I doubt that. It'll probably still just be about fandom...
speaking of which:
