Yeah, I know, shocking. This is definitely not my kind of movie. I had wanted to see it originally, but then all these reviews came out saying 'well, if you like story, you won't like this film, enjoy the visuals!' Anyways, a couple of friends wanted to see it last night.. So I asked my brother along with us.. Just so we could see it properly.. I really expected this post to just be 'UGH' in the largest font and then say I hated it, the end. I cannot write that. I loved it! I don't know if I will ever watch it again, but I was extremely impressed. The visuals were amazing of course.. But I want to track down that reviewer and have them watch it again.. There was a storyline.. It was basically Ferngully. I was half expecting Hexxus to seep out somewhere.. But that didn't happen! Considering I am one of the last people to see this movie, I was surprised I liked it so much because usually when movies are over-hyped, I think they are not so great. Again, didn't happen with this one. Fantastic.

Sorority Row

It is funny that I am such a horror film fan considering I need movies to have story lines, but mindless violence is always a plus in my mind. This was your basic 'pseudo-horror' film. Blood, Boobs/Sex and a non-scary element. Now, I am not saying I hated it, it is just a movie that I have probably seen 800 times already. I will admit that Jessica, the bitch character (most "horror" flicks have that character) was amazing. I feel she made the movie more awesome. I actually have a better idea about who the killer should have been. I think I really have to write my stories and start submitting them. Funny though, I cannot finish my scary stories because I scare myself. Sorry, lost track! If you want to see this one, maybe download it, or wait for it to be on a movie channel.. Unless you have a few bucks to spare..

The Box

A bunch o'months ago, I grabbed a random paperback because I was out of books to read. It happened to be called 'The Box' and it was just a book filled with short stories. 'The Box' was the first story and it was fantastic! Especially for being written in the late '50s. I was impressed! Then I was pretty excited because it said that the story was being made into a movie.. I was interested to see how they would take this really short awesome story and make it into a movie.. *Spoiler Alert* kjfsdghijsdfhgkjdh! FREAKIN aliens.. Really?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! If there is one thing that I hate more than anything else, it is movies having a plot filler using aliens!! (Know1ng anyone?) They never actually said 'aliens', I don't think, but it was basically using that idea. I wanted to leave the room. I was pissed! There was some creepy parts.. I don't even like to think about it.. If that happened to me I would probably have a heart attack and die. I really do not recommend this movie unless you are down with other worldly ideas. Barf.

The Informant

Um, wow. If you have no other reason to see this movie, then see it just because of how Matt Damon looks - that is pretty much great enough! Especially later on in the film - aging process, good stuff!!

This movie was smartly hilarious.. Half of the time I was like 'this is so silly, price fixing happens all the time..' yet they made such a big deal out of it! FBI involved, etc. It actually reminded me of my I loved the remake of Ocean's 11 so much. The whole story is ridiculous and just shows how stupid people can be. I highly enjoyed this film!

My Absence

I will quickly explain why I have not been posting yet still seeing a bunch of movies. It is because I saw 'Legion' and didn't know what to say. Weird, right? My best friend and I went to see it (she also has a movie review blog that is super great!) and when we were heading home, we were discussing it.

We couldn't come up with any reasoning behind why we left so.. indifferent to the film. I didn't love it and I didn't hate it. I was trapped in the middle. I still cannot say what made this movie so strange for me.

So since that happened, I had no will to write anything about movies. I finally saw a few flicks that I did want to chat about.. So.. Drought is over for now!
