What's Your Movie?

I just watched What's Your Number? A bit of a chick flick but I loved It. I probably would not have even seen this movie except It was staring my favorite actress Anna Faris. In the end it was just a well crafted movie. The concept was good I liked the actors and actresses, the dialog was good. And a nice brake from all the action movies I've been seeing.

Voom, Voom Due

I watched Cars 2. Now Cars number one wasn't my favorite Pixar move. I'm not really into cars that much. But It had a story that transcends the localized content. So is Cars 2 the same, better, or possibly worse then the original. Id say it's almost better. The Good sequel is a magic trick few studios have master, or at least as well as Pixar. The first movie was mostly about cars, with a little bit of character development thrown in to give the audience something to invest in while they watched the cars eye candy. But Cars 2 isn't really about cars at all. Which is weird for a movie containing nothing but cars. Cars 2 is a spy movie, with car exec plot drapings. But I like spy movies which is why I actually liked this movie a little more than the first.. The only thing I thought was a little under developed was the the involvement of Lightning McQueen. Lightning McQueen's story arc seamed a little neglected at times. It all worked out in the end, but it seemed a little messy. But still as I said before, it all worked out in the end.

Now This Is My Movie

I watched the Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. Lets just say I loved it, not everyone will, but I did. It's a true Sci-Fi Movie. Not a lot of real action just enough movement to keep the movie flowing. Considering the main character never says a work, well sort of but that's a spoiler, you really get invested in his struggle. But the movie will really make you think. Witch is what every half descant Sci-Fi should do. The movie is still not too into it's self, to appeal to a broad audience. Witch is a problem that befalls most of its Sci-Fi bretherin. The way the movie played was almost like a Documentary, with out a slow stuffy pace.

An Oldie But A Goodie

I watched My Cousin Vinny last nite it's an older movie. But it is a true classic. Every thing just flows. The core mistaken identity premise, although relativity unlikely, is made believable, and almost irrelevant to the rest of the movie. I mean it's all about Vinny.

A week of Movies

Just got back from Vacation, watched a few movies.

Fist off Bad Teacher, a bit of a non standard romantic comedy. I liked it but it a little light, wait for it to come to home video.

Green Lantern, boring, I almost fell a sleep in the theatre. The end was half decent. But Ryan Reynolds was not used to his true potential.

X-Men First Class, I loved this movie. Go see it right now. I'm buying this the second it hits DVD.

Transformers: Dark Side Of The Moon: This movie was insane, It's like wall to wall action. Almost with out any of the comedic bits of the the first two. There are funny bit, but there small and short. Plus the movie is long almost three hours long.

Also I saw T:DSOTM in 3D. I'm on the fence as to weather or not this is better than 2D. It's kinda distracting and awkward wearing the glasses. But if it's the right movie the 3D effect pulls you in more.

Old And New, Two That Are Good

First of I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off. This movie is a true classic. It's been quite a while since I had seen the movie. And it really held up dispite it's age, and the fact that it truly is a product of its area.

The next movie I watched was Bhoothnath, it's an East Indian movie. But it has a real western feel to it. They still break out into song once and a while, but even then the songs have a western feel. They even do hip hop and Rap in one song. The story is basically about a boy who befriends a ghost. The movie has real polish to it. The cinematography is really well done. The Visual effects were even well done, it was hard to tell if they were computer generated or not. But at any speed, the effects were great. Their is only one part where the effect being done was a little corny, but it was still in tolerable limits. It was the part were the ghost makes funny faces.

Oldie but a goodie

I just watched Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. This is one of my Favorite movies. A good scifi premise, solid action. But the real reason this movie works is the dynamic between Snipes and Stallone.
