Now I have to see that one. Thanks :) |
I saw Jodie Foster's latest, The Beaver. I am split on whether or not I liked it. I thought the premise and the story were interesting. I like Jodie's directing abilities so it was a no brainer for me to go. Dealing with mind numbing life crashing depression on film can be tricky. While the movie offered no solutions, it was an interesting glimpse into "what could be". The movie was not so much a story (to me), but rather a snap shot.

"Stone"
I wanted to poke my eyes out after watching it. |
Today. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
I went and saw the 4th installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Like pajara I had mixed feelings on seeing it too. I KNEW I would see .. it is Johnny Depp after all..and I own the first three in the series.. regardless of this movie not having Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley in it.. I still HAD to see it.
I really liked it. However, you can absolutely tell that it was directed by a different director. Also, one of the main reasons I liked the first three movies was that they all had awesome special effects. This movie? I did not see alot of that. I am also not a huge Penelope Cruz fan. I think they could have picked someone different to be Jack's "interest". In the end.. I will buy it when it comes out on dvd.. to add to My collection. Also, the way this movie ended ... I am guessing there will be a fifth installment as well. I will be looking forward to seeing what they put together next. |
X-Men: First Class and Kung Fu Panda 2
I was lucky enough to see two new movies last night. First I saw X-Men: First Class and then Kung Fu Panda 2.
The X-Men movie answered a LOT of questions I had from previous X-Men movies. It explains how Magneto came to be and how he and Professor X were freinds but yet became adversaries. In this movie you also meet the Professor's first class of students. Kung Fu Panda 2 is cute and if you liked the first one, you'll like this second one. The Dragon Warrior finds out about where he comes from and saves China from certain destruction, all in the same trip. We got into the 1st movie for $3.75 as a matinee and then walked into the second movie after using the bathroom...not bad for two movies! |
I saw "Pirates" last week-end. I had no particular feelings about her before I went, but thought Ms. Cruz was sexy as hell in this movie. Woman dressed masculine-ly swinging a sword and kicking ass? Oh yeah, I like it.
I thought it was the best of the series, pretty much for the same reason you found it lacking, Jake. The movie focused on the story rather than the special effects - the story is what I am all about. Saw "Xmen First Class" last night. Loved it. Found the relationships believable., enjoyed the story, thought the scene of the young mutants fooling around showing off their skills to be both believeable and funny. Teenage humans can pretty much wreck a room showing off as well, LOL, Dang, I wish I could "smoke" my way from one place to another like the devil looking guy could. I did think it would have been an interesting twist if he had been one of the good guys rather than the rebels. Just a little too trite that the guy who looked like the devil would be a bad guy. Further waxing philosophical, I found lots of points of comparison between the struggle of the mutants and the struggle we face as queer folk, especially the conflict between the mutants who could "hide" and those who were too blatantly who they were to be able to hide anything. Probably members of other minority groups could draw a similar parallel. All in all a good film. Smooches, Keri |
I just finished watching the priginal of the Howling,with tv so crummy these days its nice to havhe a colection of over 200 movies to choose from.

Tonight me and The Boy went to the drive-in. We saw Panda 2 and Thor. We like the first Kungfu Panda enough that we were like "eh why not". It was cute and there were several lines that I bust out laughin' hard at. Thor was okay. I was expecting more I guess. I understand you can't develop a ton of story line in 2 hours, but I felt it was lacking somewhere. I didn't feel the Thor character developed very fully, or something. It was eh, okay. I did however love, LOVE, LOVE Anthony Hopkins as always. Damn, I don't care how old he gets there's something powerful about his roles that always work for me. grrrrr |
I love Anthony Hopkins too, so I saw "Hannibal" recently -- everybody said if I liked Silence Of The Lambs, I'd love the sequel.
Blechhh. :badscore: |

The book however was a whole 'nother story....and ending I might ad. I did like it alot. I hated both the book and movie Hannibal Rising. I liked both Red Dragons, although the first one with William Petersen held more closely to the books. A |
Was disappointed with pirates 4 .. Other three were so cool.
Hangover 2 .. Loved it .. The monkey deserves an Oscar !! |
The last movie I had seen was Saturday " Thor" and it was sorta ok.
|
Last night I finally watched Black Swan...now I'm calling My therapist.
|
I liked Hannibal least of the series. I loved Red Dragon, maybe even more than Silence of the Lambs.

The monkey was really good but that Mr. Chow is a hoot! |
LMAO got back from Bridesmaids last night and OMG funniest movie in a VERY long time...very well done. I kept wondering why everyone was ranting and raving about a movie that I personally thought looked less than appealing but it was amazing
|
I finally got the chance to sit down and watch Black Swan. I still don't get it.... I kept having flashbacks to Showgirls ;)

http://content6.flixster.com/movie/1...236708_det.jpg .... just got Inception and I am Number Four. |

The Last Movie I Saw
The last movie I saw was a fantasy called Tuck Everlasting starring: Scott Baristow, Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Alexis Bledel, and Joshua Jackson. It was a wonderful movie! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good love story or fantasy flick!! :moonstars:
|
You mean, in a theater, right? Let's see, musta been Jaws. The first one. (I'm not much one for theaters.)
|
The Tourist
I saw that recently, I liked it. Nothing with Johnny Depp disappoints me. Angelina Jolie is ok too, I used to have a very negative reaction to her, I guess I resented her in Gone in 60 Seconds, maybe I should watch that again to see if I am over it. I thought she was good in Salt, too.
|
I havent seen the inside of a movie theatre in months so Netflix it is ~ last two movies I saw were The Final Destination & National Lampoon's Van Wilder :-)
Love both movies!!!! |
The Green Hornet - I thought it was going to be a lame kid type movie. Was very entertaining, lots of action, nice humor, and I loved Kato. |
Shutter Island. I like Leonardo di Caprio, but he'll never shed his squeaky-clean face no matter if he lets his stubble grow for a movie or not. He is really an actor. Watching Ruffalo in scenes with him, it's like he has this weird smirk as if he's just enjoying watching Leo act too, and has a few lines to throw in every now and then.
I won't spoil the ending for others,though it was spoiled for me, still enjoyed watching it. Some of the continuity errors are weird, but there's a lot of hoo-haa about it being intentional on Scorcese's part. He'll never tell ;) |
Got The King's Speech yesterday from Netflix. I got it mostly because it was reviewed and awarded so highly. I really didn't have a clue what it was about. Wow! I really liked it.
|
Sin Nombre... excellent and very well done. Foreshadow and everything.
|
Killers, it was funny.
|
Midnight In Paris. It was quite enjoyable.

"Tree of Life"
From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, comes The Tree of Life, an impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life. Winner of the Palme d'Or (top honors) at this year's Cannes International Film Festival Key word: impressionistic!!!!!!! |
Bridesmaids... and it was funny as hell!
|
Saw The Green Lantern 3D last night. Loved it.
|
L'Amour Fou
