watched "you, me and dupree" last night
it was okay i guess.
it had its funny moments but at the same time
it really wasnt fitting how it blended with the
romance  |
I saw that movie. I thought it was very funny. A little weird, but funny.
I also saw john tucker must die. this was hilarous. I would definatly recommend it. It was especially funny when in one of the secens they tell a girl who is going on a date to respond every thee second. so that he thinks she's not intrested. a girl pretends to be the guy and she says something to her and she takes three second. the girl playing the guys says to the girl taking 3 second we want him to think that your not intrested not retarded. well that might seem really weird, but still this movie is funny.

What's wrong with it? Sure there's a naivety to Oliver Stone's films but I've come to see that as part of the attraction.
I watched Aguirre, the Wrath of God. The most unnerving movie I've seen except for Mulholland Drive which totally went over my head but still managed to creep me out. The directors from both films similarly twist the terms of the film. At times Wrath of God is contrived and theatrical, other times it has a kind of documentary feel. Occassionally Herzog combines the two - the sequence where the horse is thrown off the raft. The opening shots are magnificent. I like the sensitivity of the camera, how unsmooth and organic it is and how it shifts and pauses. The ending is exactly what Wrath of God deserves. It was a good choice, i think, to shoot in a ration simliar to letterbox. Widescreen would not have matched the movie.
I don't like biopics or biographies very much. I did like The Last Emperor though. Probably due to the lead performance and the scenes in the Forbidden Palace.
I found it hard to empathise with Tom Cruise's character in Born on the Fourth of July (also a Stone film). I don't know why. Cruise does 'hurt anger' pretty damn well from what ive seen in this film, Collateral and Magnolia. |

Clerks 2
Saw Clerks 2, wasnt too bad, i say the first one was a tad bit better.
One thing that made me laugh the most , probably had to be the reference to which trilogy was better, The Star Wars or LOTR. old skool vs new. Alot of dark humour and is not really suitable to those who take things seriously.
Silent Hill Movie
A movie that is of no use watching unless you havent played the game or understand the games plot and storyline, not much spooks in the movie but the storyline was pretty well done and the acting was above par for the main characters. |

There was nothing wrong with Platoon Quos, it's kinda of a tear jerker for me. Cause I'm Viet and what the americans did to the village and to the residents. It makes me sad to think about all the suffering that went on...
Ok soo I just watch Poseiden, and it was meh. It was alrite. I didnt really enjoy the movie that much. It had it's moments but just moments and that's it.  don't know if I would recommend this film...

| Watched Hard Candy, some twisted s*** imo but very interesting as this is a unique film, that deals with a dark issues in society that cant be ignored, all i say is for gurls, a must see, as for boys, sensitive in the lower region, you'll feel squirmy halfway thru the movie hahaha. |

Well Im not watching anything at the moment, but last night I finally got to watch Batman Begins.
That was awesome. I loved every minute of it. Im definitely going to buy it now.
Im going to say that it is the best comic book movie out there. There are others that are alot more true to the source, but that movie was done very well. Good work Goyer and Nolan. Now Im really stoked about the sequel with the Joker. Heath Ledger got the part I believe.

Woot. Just got back from Monster House. I know, it's supposed to be a kids movie, but it was really like Goonies. And if you liked Goonies, then you'll love this movie. The story had this sense of nostalgia when I watched and the graphics for the movie itself was pretty good. You should check this movie out!

Well I decided to watch a film last night before going to sleep~so I ended up watching Corps Bride...
I fantastic film......although I didnt find it breathtaking.....I did think of it as genius......the animation a nice blend of stop motion and CGI~
The story had the usual erry comedy to it as expected from its director...
Although I did find it a little short......but the sing alongs were quite catchy....
A over all good film......*sigh*......I still havnt seen the Nightmare Before Christmas thought....wanna see that... |

I was actually watching Veronica Mars. I just love Veronica's beauty and her personality towards people. But speaking of her, I stumbled onto a clip of her with a puppet.
http://football.heyfash.com
I don't really see what's exciting about this puppet (Fash) playing football with a guy that's supposedly hot. However, i think it was cool that Fash ditched the guy and the football to be with the girls. Very brilliant. |
