Movies and Holidays !!
O_______O;;; First post of the week, and week's almost over... Oh well, I have a LONG WEEKEND AHEAD !!!! Wheeeeeeeee !!! Thanks to Mr. Benito Juarez, who did a lot of important things for the country during the mid 1800's (post Mexican Independence). If you're American and study Spanish, you might've heard of him (or maybe not). Anyway, thanks to him, March 21st is a national holiday, but in school they're giving us Monday free too, yay !!! ^__________^ I'm really happy !!
On other news, I want to comment on a few movies I saw lately, so mmmmm, yeah, I think I'll use a cut. It's possible some of you saw them/aren't interested, but in any case, I don't want to spoil everyone...
The Corpse Bride: I watched this one a couple of weeks ago and I totally love it !!! Tim Burton is great at making this kind of movies !! And the storyline is beautiful and bittersweet !! I like Emily a lot, she's cute and funny !! I would have chosen her any day over Victoria, because she's cute too, but seems to be REALLY boring... But well, that can be expected from the family she has...
Nirgendwo in Afrika: In English it's called Nowhere in Africa, and I think it's a really good movie. Of course your typical German movie storyline comes it: Judish family moving out of Germany right before WWII, but the rest is wonderful !! The scenes in Africa are lovely !!! And the little girl is so cute, and really intelligent, and sweet. XD She was (unlike her mother >.<) able to see past all the racial differences, and became good friends with their Kenyan cook, and the children of the tribe people that worked in the farm her father was helping to manage. It's one of the foreign movies (as in non-Hollywood made) that I've liked the most. XD
Brothers Grimm: ZOMG !!! This is such a sucky movie !! It sounded really cool in the trailer and all, and I watched and was like: wtf... The story idea isn't THAT bad, but something in the way it was done makes it look really fake... And Matt Damon, well he isn't the best actor in the world... Nor is Monica Belluci, as beautiful as she is... So yeah, bad actor choice, bad special effects, bad movie in general... If you love the Grimm fairytales you might want to avoid this movie... It's seriously disappointing...
On more about movies... I still want to see Brokeback Mountain. I hope I'll get to see it this weekend, maybe I'll finally convince someone to go with me. XD
