This past two days, I have been trying to spend the time I have doing something that will benefit myself and the people reading this blog. I decided to watch some movies. Movies that I have missed because I was too busy studying or was too damned to bother.
I managed to catch a few. I picked movies based on well, nothing really. Just anything that pops in my head at that moment. Now I'm going to review each movie so that I'd have something to write here and you'd have something to read about.
The Chumscrubber

Jamie Bell. Jamie was the sole reason why I wanted to watch this movie. It turned out to be okay. The movie isn't something that I'm familiar with. The genre [dark, black comedy] was something different. I'm not going to write a synopsis of the movie because whats the point of imdb then. Overall, its a good movie. Enjoyable, for me atleast. Simple storyline but has deep intermissions along the way. [6/10]
The Simpsons Movie

The Simpsons will always be my favourite cartoon, even 5 or 10 years from now. This movie just seals the deal. Its freakin funny. It has my type of humour in it. Stupid and random. Maybe thats why I can relate and understand it so well. A must watch, even if you hate cartoons. [9/10]
Unaccompanied Minors

This movie had a really bad rating. Why? Because it was rated by 40 year old
virgins.
Critics aside, the movie is not the best christmas hit out there. I don't recommend people between the age of well, if you'd hit puberty then you should probably avoid this. But if you're like me and sometimes enjoy easy-on-the-brain humour, then go ahead. The actors are pretty good. Storyline's a bit dry but you can't expect much from a movie who's target audience are 7 year olds. I thought it was okay. [5/10]
She's All That

I'm a chick, sue me. I couldn't resist not watching this movie. Then I kinda regretted it because for a romantic comedy, it was pretty crap. I didn't have any expectation for this movie and it still came out short.No humour, no chemistry, no respectable cheesy moments, everything was just bland. It didn't help that all the actor/actresses looked awkward in the movie. Paul Walker's "kayu" acting didnt help either. Ahh well. The only thing I liked was the ending and I don't mean it in a bad way either. The ending was funny and I laughed. A bit. [3/10]
Billy Elliot

This movie has become one of my all time favourites. I know its old and has probably been aired on tv a thousand times but god knows how I still manage to miss it. I finally managed to watch it and was mesmerised, seriously. Whoever picked the soundtrack and music played throughout the movie is a genius. Everything was just perfect. The parts thats supposed to make you sad made me almost want to cry and the funny parts made me laugh. Then there were the weird parts, maybe not weird but just something out of the blue which caught me by suprised. Even the suprise was likeable. All in all, great movie, great acting of course who can forget that. The only thing bothering me was the accent. It sounded way English.
Ahaha thats funny
But you get my point. [10/10]
Superbad

Oh jeez, Superbad was supergood. Ok fine, thats superlame. But seriously, this movie has become a cult favourite, everyone seems to like it, even the bloody critics, so I thought okay, I might really hate the movie. Usually my taste differ from the critics. I was suprised. The movie, despite the overused geek theme, is hilarious. The actors are good because you actually believe that they talk like that. Some lines even felt like it was impromtu. Nothing felt scripted. This movie, in my opinion is way better than American Pie. I loved it, from the start till the end. [10/10]
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

Looking for a non cheesy, actually makes you think, touching, sad and happy love story? Well look no more. I just finished watching this movie and its still got me thinking. Its cleverly done. A little slow and confusing at first, but as you get into it it'll blow your mind. Well, it blew my mind and usually love stories don't do that...to my mind. This is one intelligent movie. As you watch it again and again you'll start seeing it differently and everytime you do that you'll like it even more. [9/10]
That is all for today. I actually wanted to write more about my thoughts on Jamie Bell being the greatest young actor this millenium and about my thoughts on movie/album review but my butt's kinda sore from all the movie watching and err blog typing so..maybe next time.
