movie post

[miss_universe93]

I know I haven't updated in ages so I just want to say I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. This is a post to wax lyrical on the large amount of movies I saw in 2010 so I can start counting for 2011. I'm making my mum do this too and I assure you she will end up with way more then me by the end of the year.

I haven't seen The Social Network either! Even though my beloved Rashida is in it.

I really liked The Hurt Locker as well! I was so glad that it won the oscar. And apparently jump started Jeremy Renner's career. How was he in The Town? I've not yet seen that but I want to.

What's Moon about that makes it so scary? I've never heard of it before. Also, I have a feeling that my 'movies I watched only because of the hot people' list would be even longer than yours. I can be quite shallow.

Last note: while I love Cate Blanchett, I was not prepared for the complete twist they pulled on teh Robin Hood mythos in the film. I kept being outraged for no good reason. It's too bad you missed the end, Cate wears chainmail!!!

Apparently the Social Network is extremely sexist in terms of how women are portrayed, which was one of the reasons I avoided it. I'm going to see it soon though through not-quite-legal means!

Jeremy Renner was actually really good in The Town, though most of the focus is on Ben Affleck since he directed it. (A fact I didn't actually know until his name came up at the end of the film!)

The creepiest part about Moon I can't tell you because it spoils the big twist in the film, but the premise is creepy by itself lol. It's about a guy (Sam Rockwell) who's on a three year contract on the moon doing research, all by himself except for a helper robot thing and with basically no contact with Earth. So essentially he's in solitary confinement on the moon until his employment term is up. The scenery and the storyline is just really creepy, especially the twist and the robot thing!

Yes, it's a nice true story, but it still comes across as Rich White Person resuces Impoverished Strange Black Person From A Strange Ghetto.

this is exactly why I didn't watch it. :|||||

you should see toy story 3! and inception and the social network :DDDD

[miss_universe93]

I actually got the original Toy Story on Bluray for Christmas :D But I sitll haven't seen Toy Story 2 so I have to see that first. And I plan on watching Social Network soon!

love inglourious and an education. both fantastic. crazy heart is good??? should i see it??

hated hurt locker. agree with u on the blind side but wud give overrated award to the hurt locker.

saw winters bone in sydney. not bad. not amazing. quite good. u shud see it and let me think. we will find another film to go to. oscar seaon so ppleennnttyyy i wanna see!

[miss_universe93]

i thought crazy heart was really good but it's jeff bridges playing a country musician so it's not for everyone! he was really good in it though, he deserved the oscar for it.

we'll definitely find another one to see! there's a heap i want to see as well, with the exception of king's speech because i couldn't handle it lol.

[babyxteeth]

the king's speech is really good. good actors, what could be a 'boring' story, has just the right touches of warm, funny, sad, touching. its about a man overcoming his speech impediment, so I dont think its upsetting or anything. just saying, maybe think about seeing it? xo

[miss_universe93]

I'll think about seeing it, yeah. I just feel like I'd probably feel uncomfortable watching it since I'm working thorugh my speech/social anxiety issues with my psych right now, is all.

[babyxteeth]

also whats 'The Sweetest Thing award' mean? as in the movie the sweetest thing? lol, because I know thats a bad movie yet I still like the cheese factor and watching it when I want my mind numbed with chick flicks.

[miss_universe93]

lol yes the movie The Sweetest Thing! I will watch it when it's on just because I can't get over how bad it is LOL. It's bad in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way though
