MM's Movie Review +

Ok, ok…so I haven’t posted with that big update about the convention. I’m getting to it…I swear…=.= I’ve been a little busy lately. I kinda got bored one day when Scamp was playing WoW on my computer. So, I decided to make good use of the time. I took my jump drive, got on the family computer and started typing up the many things that are all in my note book. I’ve actually gotten a lot accomplished. It’s great ^.^ Of course, I didn’t get to the section where I’d kept a diary of what we’d done at the con u_u Yeah. So, I’ll do that, but I’m not done with that right now.

As for those movies we got, we watched them all...well, I don’t know if Scamp did see The Fantastic 4…but then I don’t know if she wanted to see it. I know that a lot of people didn’t like The Fantastic 4, but being loyal to the Marvel Fandom isn’t always easy. I mean, I didn’t like X-men 3, but I still own it. While I didn’t necessarily hate F4, it wasn’t the greatest of comic movies. Dare Devil was better.
The Curse of the Golden Flower sucked as well. I’m afraid that I’ve been totally lost on Chinese movies. It seems that every one that I’ve ever seen has been a horrific tragedy where everyone is miserable. So, I wasn’t too thrilled about that movie, and I’m thinking of taking it back.
Elizabethtown was ok, as far as romantic comedies go. There are great parts to it, but there is a lot of unnecessary sillyness. Then again, the main characters had been awake for about 3 days or so…so I guess they would be acting awfully silly.

Now…on to movies that rawked. The Covenant wasn’t great, but it had so much potential. I mean, the story seemed consistant and it wasn’t one of those ‘limitless power’ movies or whatever, these people had limits. Plus it doesn’t suck that most of the main actors were cut well. The whole “Harry Potter can kiss my ass.” Line was great. It had a great concept…but it sorta just…fell flat. I dunno.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose was actually pretty good too. I mean, I knid of knew what was going to happen, and it wasn’t anything I hadn’t seen; but, it was a different take on freaky supernatural movies. So kudos for pulling that off.
The Secret Window totally rocked my soxs. I was very pleased with it if only because it did keep me guessing. And I did like the ending, because I’m just crazy like that. Seeing Johnny Depp play a crazy author was wonderful.
Lady in the Water…why did this movie receive such bad reviews? I thought it was great! Scamp and I are pretty much of the same mind. It was a great movie really, even if it was very whimisical. I think America in general is having a lot of trouble taking make-believe seriously. Sure, they’ll take it in a cartoon, but if a serious director tries to do a serious myth/fantasy movie, then it’s not generally looked upon favorably. I loved the whole movie, and how the people in the apartment interacted with one another (and the critic getting creamed) and everything. I fully intend to get the book/bedtime story and share it with my (eventual) nieces & nephews.

I think that’s about all that I wanted to say. Work’s been slow, which is really good. It gives me time to catch up. Everyone was happy to see me, and I’m glad that not too much has changed since I left. Oh! Lori took my speakers! I got online this morning and I was thinking, “Something’s different...” and then I go to listen to my morning radio station, and I can’t! It was a major let down...But she said she’d give them back. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to invest in some new speakers. Even if I can’t use them here, I might be able to plug them in on my computer at home and help out the tiny monitor speakers I have. /shrugs…then again, I might not want to invest that much in a computer that I’ll be leaving behind for the Mac book that I plan to get…eventually. God knows it’ll take forever to save up the money to afford it.

Well, I need to be getting back to work. I’ll talk to ya’ll later, sunshines.
