Wall-E
I saw this movie last Friday. It was amazingly great. I loved it! It’s almost as good as my Pixar favorite, Finding Nemo. Actually, there are so many good Pixar movies that it’s really hard to choose a favorite. I don’t really know why I choose Finding Nemo over the others. Maybe because it’s in the ocean and has a great soundtrack (but so does A Bug’s Life). I love the Finding Nemo ride at Disneyland too! Omg, best new ride Disneyland has had since Indiana Jones. No kid. None of those stupid new dark rides they have now with no ingenuity. If I want to ride a dark ride, I’ll go on a classic, not one about hollywood with cardboard cut-outs.
Anyhow…this wasn’t meant to be a rant about Disneyland. hehe.
This movie makes you love older technology and drool over new technology as well. Wall-E is a loveable machine that brings a new perspective about the things we take for granted around us. Wall-E’s love, EVE, is a spicy character, reminiscent of Angelina Jolie. The movie has a message, maybe two or three, about wastefulness, love, and the growing inability to tear our eyes away from our glowing lcd screens.
Oh, and this movie made me cry. You know a movie is good when it makes me cry!
The Happening
I just got back from watching The Happening…by the in/famous M. Night Shyamalan (yes I had to check to spell his name).
He is going to run out of vague movie names. Seriously. The title didn’t have much to do with the movie. What else will there be? “The Incident” “The State of Being” “No Title” “Movie About Weird Things” “I Like to State the Obvious”
Movies are supposed to be underlined right? Oh well. Pretend they are.
This movie was interesting and I’m still glad I watched it because it was fun. It’s fun to laugh when there are corny lines. It’s fun to watch Mark Walhberg try to be Mr. Science Teacher nice guy. That was weird. Really weird to watch. It felt like it was really hard for him to be…normal…like he felt more comfortable if he could just beat everyone up instead of being leader and trying to save people.
The end result: I will still go watch whatever Mr. Shyamalan throws at me. This movie will make you afraid of the wind. That’s the spoiler I will give. It’s a lot more fun to watch it than read the spoiler. This is pretty big coming from someone who likes to read movie spoilers. Speaking of which, I have some I need to read. (The Strangers, I’m looking at you).
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
It was great! Fantastic! I don’t know what those reports of bad reviews came from!
From my impression of past Indy movies, this fourth movie lives up to its name. It is just as entertaining as before and it has all the elements of an Indy film! Long car chase scenes, memorable villians, borderline corny dialogue, and the great Indiana Jones, still charming nineteen years later.
Harrison Ford…you still have it.
