movie review: bad lieutenant January 10, 2010
movie review: avatar January 2, 2010
- longest movie i’ve seen in 2010. wow, that’s the first time i typed the year! it looks so futuristic.
- much like the movie avatar, which takes place so far in the future that we can genetically create aliens, and yet they still can’t seem capable of manufacturing decent bullet proof vests
- there are occasional subtitles for the alien language lines, and they totally use papyrus font. apparently it’s the official font of indigenous peoples.
- watching a movie in 3D just reminds me of how much i loved captain eo. it’s just another part of me.
- anyone think it’s odd that the earth creatures are trying to take over this other planet, and the only people involved are trigger happy americans led by giovanni ribisi?
- apparently in the future, no one wears suits and the military no longer requires uniforms
- where the hell was nasa whilst all these shenanigans were going on? whatever that jelly like stuff was inside the pods, i want a bed made out of it.
- a better name for this movie would’ve been ‘avatars with brave hearts in the ferngully-like matrix’
- other planets are really sustainable and have totally gone green
- nachos are better in 3D
- it makes you think about how awkward it would be to see your boss naked, bleeding, and wrapped in ivy
- aliens have absolutely no sense of humor and tell jokes never. if this means no comedy shows in space, count me in.
- our animals get a serious ‘needs improvement’ rating compared to the animals of other planets. i really thought we’d all have pet velociraptors by now.
- only in sci-fi can you get it on with an alien and end up mated for life. not totally unlike vegas or halloween.
- even though it was way too long, i liked this movie if only for the fact that i didn’t have to hear anyone say ‘i’ll never let go jack!’.
good things i have to say about the movie ‘music and lyrics’ which my dad looooooves November 27, 2009
- hugh grant is alive and does not die in this movie
- drew barrymore’s dresses and scarves are pretty and remind me of rachel
- the teacher from Glee is in this movie and that reminds me of lori
- the talk about smokey robinson as being the greatest songwriter. which he is.
- one of the guy from Singles is in this and plays a tool
- hugh grants old band reminds me of wham
- and that reminds me of the song ‘last christmas’
- and that reminds of me of christmas and that it’s coming!
- this movie is complete crap
- oh god, now my dad is trying to explain love and romantic comedies to me. bah humbug.
movie review: twilight new moon November 21, 2009
- was i ever a screaming teenager? i really don’t think so.
- so here’s what i’m wondering. homeboy is like a hundred plus years old. he’s seen things. european things. and he falls for not only a young person, but a dumb young person…from america? really?
- and all that romantical crap she was spouting out. don’t kids get drunk and screw each other in someones basement anymore?
- please tell me there’s going to be a prequel about dr. cullen.
- the best thing i can say about this movie is that it makes me never want to fall in love [or anything close] ever again. it seems awful. and accurate. hopefully a deterrent to today’s youth.
- were the vampires eyes more rediculous this time around? and dude, they’re pale, we get it.
- the dialogue has not improved. though i am glad that the entire theatre laughed at the more rediculous lines.
- jacob is an extremely beautiful manwolfchild.
- and seriously, what’s up with bella being this like, monster groupie? it implies a daddy issue far beyond my comprehension.
- bella refers to herself as a cougar because she dates monsters 1 and 2 years younger than her 18 years. i officially want to jump off of a high cliff with no expectations of a vampire of manwolfchild coming to my aid.
- oh my god, rural washington was georgeous, why the f did i leave. dude, the only accurate thing in this movie is the fact that la push beach is really amazing. and the movie doesn’t even do it justice. so i guess nothing in the movie is accurate.
- however, wolves are extremely cool. especially when they are hungry.
- if they can all see the future, couldn’t all of these shenanigans have been prevented? why didn’t the cullens just not live there to begin with? its like they want life to be awful for everyone.
- how did indie rock reach rural washington? having ridden those winding roads, i can tell you that they don’t have radio reception.
- the old timey vampires use the word ‘utilize’. rachel is gonna be maaaaaad.
movie review: pirate radio November 14, 2009
- so this is probably the most emotion i’ve had in public since the vmas
- they show album covers during the credits. not hard to understand why taylor swift was included.
- i think i experienced what lori feels like when she watches Glee
- phillip seymour hoffman should continue to only play lester bangs in every movie he is in. and he should never die.
- thank god they didn’t try to make him british
- though i love seeing him be a pimp and totally getting some
- they don’t make it seem so in the commercials, but this really was laugh out loud funny and the dirty jokes were clever yet banal enough to be fun
- and perhaps the first i ever thought that a british person understood me really well and made a movie just for me.
- i think you can only really enjoy this movie if you really love music. and i do.
- the soundtrack better have like 12 volumes
- i guess he’s done other stuff, but to me, he will always be the guy in the replacements who was wiry
- its unfortunate that romantic leads are becoming too young for me to find them attractive
- i want to see it again and liveblog it with my web enabled mobile device
- oh my god, they played one of my favorite songs from the motown christmas album. this director should only ever make movies that involve christmas.
- please see this movie
movie review: paranormal state November 8, 2009
- i have bad dreams. wtf was i thinking?
- oh yeah, i make poor life choices, that’s my thing
- i’m sure it would have been fine if the lights were on and someone was laughing.
- though the dude in the movie would still be a tremendous tool
- and gay cousin ted was there
- speaking of new years, funniest thing terrence ever said when i invited to get in on the 80s cover band. he asked if we were seeing a band or being an 80s cover band.
- he will don neon sunglasses with slits cut out and a comically large bow tie
- eeps, i swear i hear footsteps and my computer is doing weird things.
- running into my neighbor who said weird things was not optimal
- oh yeah, new years. we definately want lori for lv (lead vocals)
- rachel will be our manager
- but terrence says she needs to manage like sly from california dreams. and if she’s not available, we need to book sly. screw it, we should just get sly now.
- i’m working on a set list (appletinis, neon gum, quagmire, relationship biscuits)
- not much time, we better start rehearsing
- teddy, we need you to play that keyboard thing that you wear like a guitar.
movie review: GI Joe August 16, 2009
- this whole movie would have been better if no one talked and only kicked ass
- i like sienna miller more when i forget that it’s her
- why does anyone do accents ever? you always notice when they aren’t real
- whoa, the whole movie i thought mcCullen was played by ralph fiennes. he wasn’t. i guess that’s why the accent was wrong. or just only cast real indigenous scottish people.
- i did not enjoy the portrayal of the ninja as a villain
- sorry lori, dennis quaid was adorable, but acted hellaciously
- channing tatum. to me you will always be a janitor that dances. not a war hero. sorry.
- i want to be a barroness
- joseph gordon-levitt may have been frightfully miscast and underused
- there’s something really upsetting about young kids having very violent ninja fights
- omg arnold vosloo, i loved you in the mummy! really!
- speaking of the mummy, it’s its weird that brendan fraser is now showing up in ‘uncredited’ roles
- it was nice to see france get trashed for once and not nyc
- i wish i was a redhead
- i love sake
Movie review: harry potter and the half-blood prince July 27, 2009
- makes you wonder, is the prince’s blood half full, or half empty?
- while the theme of most of these movies seems to be ‘sometimes magic does more harm than good’, I would say the theme of this one was ‘sometimes magic doesn’t do a whole lot.
- I mean, you can use magic to split your soul into 7 pieces, but you can’t use it to stop a house fire. really?
- I miss gary oldman. I think he should get a spinoff series entitled ‘a night of evil with gary oldman’.
- its weird seeing a city besides nyc destroyed in a film.
- helena bonham carter is pretty cool. have sneaking suspicion she isn’t actually acting in this movie, and is just like that.
- I miss the moving paintings at the school and the animated pictures in the newspapers. if I wanted to see staircases that didn’t move, I’d hang out at my parents house.
- harry totally cheated in potion class with his annotated book and then didn’t share his luck potion. buuuuurn.
- I want a flower that turns into a fish
- if you were a teacher, why have your students try to make a life ceasing potion? kids are dumb and spill stuff.
- i really wish the band the darkness were somehow involved in this film
- l like draco but I prefer him to be completely malevolent and not blubbering like a little girl when he has to kill someone
- british adolescent love is totally dull
- if I am ever forced to split my soul, here is where you can find the pieces: a costello’s sandwich in chicago, steve’s key lime pie in red hook, a hendrix guitar at the Experience Music Project in seattle, a grilled octopus appetizer in astoria, and the largest part of my soul will go in one of my weekender bags in my closet
- so wait, harry is done with school? no diploma? no senior cut day? no eating magic quail eggs at a kegger in the forest? Sounds like a wasted bunch of years to me.
movie review: star trek [spoiler alert] May 16, 2009
- oooh, my first look at the preview for G.I. Joe. i heart summer blockbusters.
- this movie started with an underage car chase set to the song ‘sabotage’ by the beastie boys and there really is no finer way for anything to begin. bravo.
- harold, you have come a long way from adventures in white castle and have done me proud
- eva rodriguez, you went to a special space academy. way to go!
- spock. you’re just hot and completely mesmerizing and i say without a bit of irony that i would totally tap that vulcan ass.
- omg i just imdb’d you and you’re really hot in real life. OMG you played a ‘hip student’ on an episode of six feet under. i knew i loved you before i met you.
- it may have been that i was tired, but i was kinda confused throughout this movie
- so what they’re trying to tell me, after three years in the academy, when they have a whole ship full of academics and professionals who have been doing this for decades, they get to run the show? harold couldn’t even start the damn ship!
- it was as if we went back in time to our junior year of college as english majors and were put in charge of congress. or if george w. bush got to be president.
- how come its ok for spock to hang out with himself from the future, but in the back to the future it would have caused the end of the world?
- and how was it possible that spocks full on vulcan dad could be in love when they don’t have those emotions?
- in fact, how did that planet ever get populated if no one had hormones?
- if spock was able to go back in time, couldn’t he have prevented his planet from imploding? or at least push his mom back a few steps so she didn’t collapse with the rocks?
- really, all of the shenanigans could have been easily prevented via time travel
- but then they wouldn’t have gained a lifetime’s worth of wisdom
- but wait, didn’t kirk’s dad end up living somehow?
- so how did he end up scamming his way into being an ill prepared captain [even though spock was hella smarter]
- ahhhhhhhhhh paradoxes make my head hurt. i’m so confused.
- spock, it’s a good thing you’re so hot
- eva, if you were anyone else, i’d have to put you on the rocks
Movie review: the soloist May 11, 2009
- I love Robert Downey, Jr.
- too bad the title ‘The Pianist’ was taken cause that would’ve been funner
- so they basically made this movie with intent of making me cry
- mental illness, failed lobster love, homelessness, crime. Ack!
- I never want to go to LA ever again
- I feel like Jamie Foxx relied a bit too heavily on his Ray Charles mannerisms for this role
- whoever chose the music for the film did a wonderful job and it was really transcendent
- I know, pretentious word, but there’s no other way to say it
- after all these years, going to the movies with my parents is fun again
- don’t ever let me watch this at home by myself. I’ll be a mess for weeks.
