a movie update/reviews
oh dear oh dear....so I've had some time recently to enjoy/endure some movies and I guess last night is the biggest reason for this post. I finally watched Salt. Oh i was hoping it was going to be so good!! some twists some turns.....uh nope. it was just terrible. It was like you were suppose to be on the side of the bad guy but the bad guy was never good enough to really champion them on. ugh...it COULD have been so good. right??
And then a few nights ago we watched Benjamin Button. it was a weird Forest Gump kind of movie. Done in the south. Spands a ridiculous amount of time. he is misunderstood..... and then the whole sexual/sexuality part of it was....REALLY overplayed? juvenile? creepy. Well the whole thing is kinda creepy. Like this wierd strange poem that was too long and should never have really been made into a movie. Oh and I love the part where the Dad thinks the best thing to do after his kid is born is to SNATCH him up and run to the river to throw him in!!! yeah. that'd be the number one thing I hated about it.
Then today I finished the Princess and the Frog. I wanted to like this b/c of the hand drawen animation but it was just. again! creepy! The shadows and the voodu and the accents left me feeling like I was lost in the swamps. Ugh. Come on Disney! really?! so long waiting for a great princess movie like you've done before and...this? it was just....not up to par.
Movies I really did like!
17 Again! Wow! you suprized me! this was a gift from my sister and I thought...hummm lets see. but it was FUN. It wasn't really ever serious. and the whole message of being really in love with someone was nice to see. And ofcourse all the nerd humor was FANTASTIC! and really is what made this whole movie.
RED. Yes! finally some oldies playing...oldies! and nothing is better than Helen Miren! John Malcovigzt (??) is so much fun to see playing a guy that's completely crazy. BECAUSE HE IS! and the action was great but didn't over power everything else. Loved the comedy mixed in making it again a really FUN movie.
so I guess what have I learned from all of this. I'm definately not a Bran-jolina or a AnjoPitt fan. nope. sorry guys.
