Dude, I am so tired. Basically, I wake up at 10am everyday and go shoot. I'm shooting some houses for my mom. Then I come home, wash my uniform, shower and go to work. I come home from work at around 12:00 and play PS3 The Godfather Don's Edition till 3 am, or watch one of the movies I am supposed to watch. Rinse and Repeat.
Speaking of movies:
History of Boys: Uhm...well acted but kind of odd. Roni and Nibblet, you will love it. Bunch of cute, well spoken, mostly gay British boys. B
Freedom Writers: Typical white teacher saves the minorities through innovative teaching techniques. That doesn't mean it was bad...it was very good. Very well acted and I even cried a bit. B+
Pursuit of Happyness: VERY good. One of Will Smith's best, and Will's real son plays his son in the movie. Jayden Smith is terrific, and should have gotten an Oscar nod of some sort. See it. I bought it. A
Copying Beethoven: Ed Harris is brilliant as Beethoven. This is probably one of the better Beethoven movies I have seen. It shows how hard it was for someone who is now regarded as one of the great composers of all time. See it. A
The Good Shepherd: Boring. Well acted, but boring. Stylistically, it reminded me of A Beautiful Mind. But it was boring until maybe the last....20 minutes. Jolie was probably the most interesting character in the movie, and she was in few scenes longer than 5 minutes. C
Charlotte's Web: Not bad. Dakota Fanning is always really good, and Julia Roberts did the voice of Charlotte. But Wilbur was kind of empty. I didn't have the same emotional attachment I had to the original Wilbur, but I felt the same for Charlotte. B
Curse of the Golden Flower: Awesome. Beautifully shot, and the characters are deep, and the plot interesting. A
Borat: Hilarious. It goes a little too far with the naked men wrestling, but still hilarious as hell. The best part is that he shows exactly how ignorant people can be. B+
The Holiday: Cute. The Jack Black storyline was the best. Maybe it is just because I am not a huge fan of Cameron Diaz...I don't know. B
Stranger Than Fiction: Awesome acting from Will and Emma. Story is a little slow, but the cinematography and post-production is awesome. B+
Casino Royale: Easily one of the best Bonds. Seriously. Daniel Craig does an absolutely awesome job as the pre-007 Bond. Although the story is a little slow when they are playing poker for more action fans, it is totally the best Bond. Daniel Craig does some amazing stunts that no Bond has ever done before. A
School For Scoundrels: Funnier than I thought it would be. Billy Bob Thornton is great. I love that guy. B-
The Guardian: Pretty good. Kevin Costner is great, and even Ashton Kutcher does a good job. B
Smokin' Aces: Awesome. Funny, action packed, and even a bit emotional. Stylistically extremely interesting, with some really good people. Awesome ending. The outtakes are great, especially when Ray Liotta is in the van and is telling the Director, who is on the walkie to stop interrupting him, and Ryan Reynolds goes, "I hate it when you guys fight..." And Ben Affleck sucks at pool. A+
The Illusionist: Really excellent acting by Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti. A well thought out, well acted drama with a few twists. Buy worthy. A
Employee of the Month: Funny, and good to watch once. B -
The Prestige: Awesome. Buy-worthy. Batman v Wolverine...what is there not to like. A
The Departed: Not as good as everyone hyped. Yeah, it has a good plot and good acting, but dude...the editing, especially the sound mix is really...bad. Abrupt soundtrack cuts and stuff...bah. B-
