2001: a space odyssey.

Will someone, please, explain to me as to WTF is going on here? Please.

the departed.

**SPOILERS**

I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I'm glad everyone killed each other off at the end of the movie, because I was so close to building a time machine out of my microwave and going back in time to the filming of this movie and shoot everyone on set. The idea was cool, but it was constantly a cat and mouse game and I was getting REALLY tired of it. I also found it hard to get into at the beginning of the movie. And that girl that was dating Matt Damon's character, what a bitch! Sorry, but I can't tolerate people who cheat, it's just a movie, but I don't care. She was a twat.
I also find it really hard to take DiCaprio seriously. He's the worst. All the accents in the movie were distracting as well. I couldn't stand it! It was as if they were trying to hard to do a proper Boston accent. Oh my god, and Mark Wahlberg! So hard to take him seriously. He was a huge douche bag in this movie. Also, don't you find it a little boring and redundant how he always has to play some kind of a bad ass in every movie he's in. No, not a fan.

The only thing I liked about this movie is when they all died, and the soundtrack. That is all.

Guy Ritchie has definitely redeemed himself. One thing that stood out to me a lot in this film was the dialogue. It's classic Guy Ritchie. English and witty and full of sarcasm. I want to watch it again just so I can listen to them talk. It's very entertaining. I've noticed that in a lot of movies coming out lately. The character/actors mesh so well together. In this movie, it's as if Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. were meant for each other. I guess the bond they characters had between each other helped, but I still think that those two together, we're perfect.

I'm just going to get out and say it. I loved everything about this movie. The settings, the characters, the visual effects, the story, and the soundtrack. It all worked so nicely together. It just felt right. The setting, beautiful. It had that desaturated, gloomy, grayish look to it and I love seeing that in movies. I find it really appealing and visually, it's interesting. The characters, again, were great. I wasn't a fan of Watson's little Misses. Maybe her character was meant to be a bit of a twat, or maybe the actress just sucked. I don't know, I don't think I've seen her in other movies before, but she's also one of those people where I just don't like. Don't know why, but I do. Maybe I'm just bored and looking for someone to hate at the moment. Another character that I found very douche-bag-ish, if you will, was Lord Blackwood. *sigh* Maybe it was his buck teeth. Whatever it was, I'm still not a fan. He's supposed to be one of those characters that should intimidate you throughout the movie. I don't know about you guys, but that didn't work on me. At the end of the movie you realize why he gave off that douche-bag vibe. He didn't fool me.

The soundtrack was awesome! I can't wait to get that on my ipod. It just tied in so perfectly with the whole style of the movie. Mind you, Guy Ritchie has a knack for choosing awesome soundtracks for his movies. He never lets me down.

**SPOILERS**

I like how he had a bit of a fight club theme going on at the beginning. I also found it very interesting how he had the character foresee what he was going to do to people, before he actually does it. I liked that. The fight scenes were awesome. But there was one scene that was supposed to give off that intense, panic feeling, but it failed miserably. Yes, it was the director's fault. Guy, it was your fault. The best way to come out of it is to admit you were wrong. So, what happened was, they were in some kind of a warehouse of some sort. They had dead piggies hanging around by chains, and then! Holmes' eye candy appears out of nowhere hanging by chains as well going straight towards the torches of doom!! Oh, but don't panic, because there's an off switch, wheel mechanism right next to Watson, so good ol' Watson to the rescue, just turns it off and YAY she's safe from the firey torches of doom! That to me was a bit lame. One more thing...there's a shot at the end of the movie-ish. It was lovely. It was just an establishing shot of Lord Blackwood hanging and you can see the city all around him. It was just perfect. I loved it! I want to go back and look at it again. I think it's my favorite shot out of the whole movie.

Overall I was pretty satisfied with this movie. To me it seems as though Guy Ritchie only makes movies that are good to a certain level and it doesn't get better, it can, but it's as if he just can't do it. It's not amazing, it's just awesome. This movie, to me, took a step further away from the normal "just good". It still wasn't AMAZING, but it's close. It can only get better. Can't wait to see more of his work in the future.

juno.

I loved this movie. It's like a low budget indie film. Those in my opinion are very awesome. The story was great. It was just a real life situation, yet very simple. It had lot's of character development and the dialogue was funny and witty. I loved Juno's personality. I also love Ellen Page. She's one of my favorites. Every roll she plays in, she seems really cool, calm, and collect. It's almost like Michael Cera how he keeps his character personalities somewhat consistent through all the movies he's been in. So it's great that they're both in the movie. The way they interacted with each other was great. They didn't over act, so in a way you were able to relate to their lifestyle and character more because how "real" they were actually being.

**SPOILERS**

The fact that I'm writing "SPOILERS" at the top is a little sad. If you haven't seen this movie yet, it's probably because 1) your a guy and assume this is a chick flick and don't want this movie to interfere with your "manliness" (which makes you even more of a douche) 2) you don't have eyes, in this case, I'm sorry, but your a freaking liar, because your reading this right now, and 3) you assume it's a crap movie because it's about teenage pregnancy, in THIS case, you deserve a creepy little Asian man crotch in your face.

So anyways, I like this story. Sure it's been done, but what movie hasn't. The little things they do in this movie, is just so random and awesome. Example, the scene where Juno gets all that furniture and parks it right on Bleeker's lawn and waits until he comes out. Her interesting way of say "Hey dude, how's it going? I'm pregnant." I love it. Or when she packs his mailbox with a million packs of orange flavored tic tacs. It's little things like that that give this movie it's quality and goodness.

I love Juno and Bleekers relationship. Because it's not exactly boyfriend/girlfriend as one would come to expect, but it's just them as friends. They like each other, but there's a sense of beating around the bush about their feelings for one another. Of course, at the end they get together, but their relationship just seems really sweet. It's not like the happily ever after where they ride off in a carriage being pulled by ten white horses while people throw rice in their eyes. It's more like, here they are singing and playing the guitar together and it's the beginning of their little youthful relationship. Simple and effective...and REAL!

The other character's were great too. Leah, Juno's little friend, was alright, she was a bit over the top for me. Sure in high school we had our skanks, but I didn't know one chick that acted like a horn dog like Leah did AND she had a thing for her crusty old school teacher. Barf! Juno's parents were awesome. They were just a regular family. Nothing too big, again, just simple. Her dad was funny. I liked a him a lot and her step mom was a hoot as well.

This movie never gets old for me, I love watching it. It makes me laugh, and some parts make me sad. I wish there were more movies like "Juno".

the hangover.

I didn't think this movie was going to be as good as it was. I had no idea what it was going to be like. Although, this movie is mainly directed to a male audience, considering the fact, it as all about a bachelor party that got way out of hand-ish. Either way, I still found it hilarious. I love the story and how the whole movie worked like a puzzle. I never found myself bored though this film, because I was constantly wondering what the hell went on with those guys. I'm glad at the end they showed all the photos of their night. Some was a bit raunchy, but it was still really funny.

**SPOILERS**

You know the hotel room scenes. Where the camera is just panning around the room and you see several shots of random shit. Or the scene where they went back to their room looking for that creepy little gay Asian man's money. Okay, what I'd like to know is, where did that chicken come from? There's a random chicken wallowing around their room and it was never explained how that got there. Sure it was one of those things that you just don't ask and it's there just to show you that they got down to some really weird shit. I was still curious about it though. Also, thinking back to all the stuff they went through that night, and seeing all the pictures at the end...when did they have time to get a chicken? Oh well. Still awesome.

Another thing I liked about this movie, the characters. Who ever did the casting for this movie deserves a pat on the back. Those guys were great. They all have different personalities and the dialogue between them, is awesome. Zach Galifianakis is such a weirdo in this movie, but If he wasn't in it, the movie wouldn't be the same. I also like how their plans were to celebrate Doug's (Justin Bartha) bachelor party, yet he was hardly in the movie. It's alright, because the other three guys were way funnier than him.

Everything else about the movie was awesome. The little Asian man. I don't know, he's annoying. The way he sprung out of the trunk of the car and wrapped himself around Bradley Cooper's head. Totally grossed me out. He basically had a face full of little Asian man crotch. That grossed me out sooo much. He was sorta funny, but annoyed me more at the same time. It was almost bad enough that I wanted to punch him in the face.

The ending was great too, how Stu (Ed Helms) totally blew up in his girlfriend's face. I would have ended that with, "oh and by the way, I got married in Vegas!" She deserved it. What a c*nt she was (pardon my français), but she pissed me off sooo much. If your reading this and you are like Stu's girlfriend, you deserve to get little creepy Asian man crotch in your face for the rest of your life.

Okay so, overall this movie was fantastic. The bluray is out and I would go buy it, but I'm a little broke, but that is definitely on my list of must get movies. This movie is great for whatever mood your in. If your contemplating suicide, this will totally lift your spirits. :)

whip it.

I absolutely loved this movie. I didn't know anything about it when I went in to see it, other than it was about roller derby, and Ellen Page was in it. It had a super indie vibe, yet Drew Barrymore was in it. Later I learned it was Barrymore's directorial debut.

The story's about a girl, Ellen Page, in a small town, who's always catered to her mom's ways, gets fed up and secretly joins a roller derby.

The film is nothing amazing, just another indie movie, but I enjoyed it, and I think different people will take different things from it, based on how they were raised and what sorts of situations and feelings they've experienced, much like any film. The characters were diverse enough, that it kept things interesting. I found the movie realistic, yet a little over the top at the same time; there weren't enough consequences for certain actions.

I found I could relate a lot to this movie, and walked out tempted to join a roller derby. The girls in the movie have a similar style to myself- tattoos, piercings, dyed hair, attitude- that it seemed to speak to me, and was very inspirational and motivating. That being said, I don't see most guys enjoying this film at all. What I took from "Whip It" was it doesn't matter who you are, or whether you're an underdog or not, if you try, you can do anything you put your mind to.

Oh boy! What a movie. I had such high expectations about this movie. I went in there thinking "Oh my God! This is going to be an epic war film with Brad Pitt and he's going to kill all these Nazis!" Because basically that's what I got out of the trailer. I was so excited, I love World War II movies and the fact that Brad Pitt was going to be in it made it sooo much better. Scene one started...all good there, after scene one...I don't even know. Not what they made it out to be.

**SPOILERS**

I must say, I hate this movie. I mean it had a few cool parts. A FEW. Brad Pitt was hardly in it. It was mostly the stupid Nazis. There was also a little story that ran through the whole thing which tied up all those people together at the end. Story was okay. It was cool that the Jewish lady wanted revenge for the death of her family. So she was planning on locking all the Nazis including good ol' Hitler, whom by the way is a douche, in a theater and blowing it up. That, is pretty awesome, and I think that's how it should have really gone down in real life. Anyways, so it was Brad Pitt's little resistance group of people killing off Nazis. They were probably in this movie for about 30 mins all together.

Oh! Before I forget. That Hanz soldier guy was such a prick! I know it's just a movie, but I hated his character sooooo much! Not because he was a Nazi, but because he basically played God. He knew what was going on all the time. He knew everything about everything. And he was so snooty about it, oh my god! Makes you want to punch him in the face. He doesn't even tell you he knows what you know, he just smiles, but gives off that tension feeling were you know your pretty much fuct. How does he even know!? *head explodes*

Another thing that I wasn't too keen about with this movie. It was all in subtitles. Not the Brad Pitt parts, but all the Germans spoke German! You'd think it's alright, and you know what, it's fine, it's realistic. It's a lot better when the whole world speaks with British accents in movies, but sometimes it's just hard keeping track of what's going on. The subtitles were going too fast, and I want to watch the movie and not have to read what they're saying because your missing the action.

I think the worst...well one of the worst scenes in this movie was when all the Germans were in the pub, just talking. It was so boring my brain drifted off thinking about what I'm going to be doing later that night. It was just them sitting around TALKING, not anything like, "yeah we gotta go kill those Jews!" I honestly don't even recall what the hell they were on about.

The only awesome parts of the movie were the Brad Pitt parts and when all the Nazis burning in the theater.

My hopes and dreams for this movie were shattered. I don't understand how people liked it. It was lame. Who ever liked this movie needs to stop what their doing and go watch "Bring it On Again". Tarantino, your dead to me, over.
