Confession

Readers i have a confession to make: I hated "the notebook". Yes, i know hate is a strong word but i fully mean it, and while i type this i feel like im betraying my female nature but i have to say that movie was awful and long. It didnt even make me cry i had to pretend to be sad and i cried watching a walk to remember and the last song heck i even cried when Nemo was reunited with his dad. I know this may upset people but i find no beauty in the plot i mean yes she gets Alzheimer at the end and he oh so romantically reads her their "story" everyday so she can remember him for 5 min then goes back to hate him? They dont show you this but im pretty sure somewhere deep down anger is building inside him and one day he just shook her for not remembering him and then she died from a heart attack because of the shock (now thats entertaining). I will never understand people's fascination with the movie theyre in love then theyre angry then they love each then they dont talk then he builds her a house then she becomes a really old lady who cant remember her own husband. All im saying is, a good romantic movie is hard to find these days and so our standards became so very low (damn you twilight). This truly saddens me.

You may now precede to tell how im wrong about this.

p.s: i think my anger in this post is more towards the fact that i start junior year in less than a month and im very freaked out about it.

What Happened to Black and White?

I absolutely adore classics, classic dresses, classic cars, but most importantly i LOVE classical movies. The black and white forgotten films or movies like Breakfast at Tiffany's they're old but you can never get tired of watching them. Today's movie recommendation? "Casablanca" vintage black and white classical romance granted it's a love triangle it's a pretty good romance and it keeps you hooked to figure how it's gonna end (i wont ruin it). Alot of classical sayings came out of this movie and it's always good to watch something black and white every once in a while a movie where the plot sells itself instead of all the money spent on special effects and over the top set designs. Im gonna keep posting my favorite classical movies but for now if you love a good romance you have to watch this :)

Movie Review: (500) Days of Summer

I watched this movie 3 times by now and i still dont know how i feel about it.. I cant decide whether i hate it or love it. It's about this couple Summer Finn and Tom Hanson, now im not gonna lie there's something pretty different about the story they changed the stereotype and made the girl the one who doesnt want a relationship and they made the guy the one who believes in soul mates. They movie revolves around the two and go through the entire course of the relationship. At the beginning they tell you that it's not a love story but being the helpless romantic that I am i thought that it WAS in fact a love story ( kind of got pissed at myself when it ended and it wasnt a love story). The movie was a bit long but i have to admit that the directing is amazing the way they shot and made the scene was pretty different even id i hated the movie (which im not sure about) i'd still have to admit the director was a visionary. Part of the reason i bought the DVD was because I love both Joseph Gordon Levitt (3rd rock, inception) and Zooey Deschanel (Yes Man) and they both played their roles awesomely the other part is my very weird friend kept raving about it on twitter.


For the acting and directing i give it a 7/10 but i dont know about the plot itself..

watch it and tell me what you think :)

YOU MUST MUST MUST WATCH "INCEPTION" OR I'LL BEAT YOU WITH A BLOODY POLE

Im going to gush about this movie more than review it, DEAL WITH IT!


one word: Awesome-Epicness im aware that's two words but this movie defies any rules, it's simply one of the best movies i've ever watched and considering i watch as many movies as i eat i'll say i am a pretty good judge. it fulfills the requirement for any great movie:

1. Good actors
Leonardo DiCaprio's is a good actor im not going to dwell on this, but Joseph Gorden-Levitt who also did "G. I. Joe" and "500 days of summer" which wasnt as well known but did get a couple of oscar nomination. In this movie he was AMAZING, and Ellen Page who did "Juno" was also in it and she did really well.

2. Good Script
The details that went into the story made it so good and believable its almost like reading a book because you could see all the emotions and the history and it was beautiful. Although there are some holes in the story and the ending is sort of confusing but if you dont focus too much you wont notice them.

3. Graphics/Directing
im gonna get in touch with my British side and sum this in two words"Bloody Brilliant." (the same guy who directed the dark night by the way)

So yeah i think this is by far one of the best movies yet and while it doesnt have robots, vampires, aliens, toys, or comic book characters in iron suits its worth watching so get your tickets and pay attention because its really intense and complicated i kept literally jumping off my seat and scaring my friends.

here's the interview from the writer/director:

YAAY Another Dan Brown Movie

Dan Brown's latest book featuring Dr. Robert Langdon, "The Lost Symbol" is going to be turned into a movie released in 2012 :) I'm DESPERATELY hope they don't butcher it like the last one. I mean "The Da Vince Code" wasnt as amazing as the book but it did get most of the plot right. Dont get me started on "Angels and Demons" though it butchered the book so bad i kept yelling at the screen, everything from the character's background to not explaining who the Illuminati are made me so angry especially when they took out the ending. I mean i think they took it off because of the Vatican and stuff but come on when has that ever stopped them? I really really have high hopes for this one cause this book is just as awesome. This one is more about Masons and takes place in D.C as opposed to the first 2 that are mostly about the church and Illuminati Rome and Paris. I read the book over spring break and its really good but kind of disgusting when it comes to the villain so i recommend it as a summer read cause Robert Langdon is like the nerdy James Bond he gets a new girl each book ;p

what do you guys think?

The End is Near *weeping*

The Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows trailer was released like an hour ago and OH MY GOD i dont know whether to cry or laugh or do both! At first i have to thank Lumos
im ashamed of myself for not knowing it was being released now but THANK YOU! The little computer nerd was amazed by the clarity of the trailer. I had to go second by second because they had so MUCH in it. Everything i mean everything is in it from the book and and the epic-ality is amazing i can almost burst! thank god my family are deep sleepers or they'll kill me for all the gushing and yelling. Voldemort's face is sort of creepy but oh my god i have high hopes for this movie. Oh god i know understand the saying " a child in a candy store" im bursting with potter pride. I am sad though, it just hit me that its ending but my child will read harry potter the moment they learn how to read.

Fellow potheads, how are we feeling?
i'll gush later im watching a live episode of mugglecast right now.

p.s: is it weird i feel like someone dosed me with excessive amounts of caffeine? seriously im feel freakishly refreshed.

Dont Mess With a Classic

I am a die hard movie addict but nothing pisses me off more than a book adaptation that changes the entire story or a really bad remake. "The Karate Kid" remake was one of those two. Don't get me wrong the movie was enjoyable and sort of funny but here are the top things that bugged me about it:

1. The movie is called KARATE kid not KUNG FU Kid the title should reflect the movie


2.it would be great if all the characters were not 12 for the story to be believable.

3. If this movie was supposed to be for kids i dont understand why Mr. Han (Mr. Miyagi) has to get drunk on chinease whiskey and bash a car that was depressing.

4. Hiring an accent coach wouldve been a good idea because i seriously could not take the bully seriously.

5. I know its a remake and the plot should be the same but they should have kept "Wax on/ Wax off" that line is GOLD.

6. DO NOT play lady gaga on a PG movie that's just bad parenting i get it's dance dance revolution but they could always put a disney song god knows those arent that innocent anymore.

7. Jayden's cornrows are cool but im pretty sure that's not the first time Chinese people see them for god's sake why do they keep asking to touch his hair that's pure RACIST!

and the most annoying thing is:

8. YOU DO NOT MESS WITH THE CRANE: the last moment of karate kid where he does the crane move that's when everything comes together! you have to at least respect that instead they give you a lame snake move , not cool Jayden Smith.


point is my children will see the original and if one of them dares claiming this is the better version i will disown them.

what did you guys think of the movie?

Vintage LOLs

US Release Date: March , 2010

Distributor: 20th Century Fox

Run Time: 94 minutes 

Despite all the World Cup madness, I set aside a couple of hours this weekend to watch Diary of A Wimpy Kid for Cinema Sunday. I originally saw the trailer for back in February, and noted it as something I might watch when the first signs of summer boredom would rear their ugly head. After checking out the hype, I am pleased to report that I have nothing short of a rave review. 

The plot is simple enough; Greg Heffley is an under grown seventh grader whose ambition often towers higher than his reach, literally. In an effort to try and make a name for himself in his new middle-school setting, Greg goes through one ridiculous plan after another, all in an attempts to be listed as a "Class Favorite" in the yearbook. Do I even need to mention that all of Greg's plans fail with miserable, and side-splitting, results? Didn't think so.

Jokes aside, I really enjoyed DOAWK because it's a hilarious reminder of just how cringe worthy middle-school is. Well, it was for me. If memory serves me right, I might even cop to having attempted a few of the schemes Greg and Rowely (his pudgy best friend) attempt. Don't be surprised to find yourself laughing out loud several times at the many familiar scenarios Greg and Rowley encounter. The producers got the casting down to a science with this one, because every actor fits their role perfectly. From the gross kid to the depressed teacher, everyone manages to shine in DOAWK. Not an easy feat in Hollywood....**Cough**Valentine's Day**Cough**

Worthy of an honorable mention is the insanely talented Chloe Moretz, better known as "Hit Girl" from another personal favorite,  Kick Ass. Chloe stars as "Angie Steadman", a wise school-paper photographer. Her comedic timing and biting delivery are still there, and this time she gets to act a bit more her age, which is a nice contrast to her very adult turn in Kick Ass. 

Overall, DOAWK recieves a well-earned thumbs up from me. Let's be honest, it's no Schindler's List, but if you're looking for a fun summer flick, then give this a whirl. 

Off to mend that stitch in my side,

S. 

PS - Comment and let me know what guys think. What this movie a funny reminder of the past or a nauseating dose of nostalgia?

Cinema Sundays

As S. and I promised today being "Cinema Sunday" i went to watch the A-Team(honestly how dedicated am i? :p). The movie was AWESOME, but only if you're an action/comedy person, in other words dont take your chick flick friends to see it because they probably wont appreciate it. The movie is the remake of the 80s hit tv show "the a-team" (obviously) its about four crazy soldier who get convicted and try to clear their name by pulling some crazy stunts, i know it sound typical but it really is awesome. They replaced Mr. T with "Rampage Jackson" and you wouldnt know Rampage unless you watch late night wrestling like me because you're to lazy to actually get the remote and change the channel, but enough talking about how i spend my nights. I should clarify that most of the action is the unrealistic kind so if you like my parents who LOVE to point out all the flaws in the plot you shouldnt go either(last time i took my mom to harry potter she pointed out how unrealistic it is and fell asleep) . Though the movie is two hours long it's never gets boring everytime you think you know whats gonna happen something else happens. I give it an A rating, buy a pirated copy, watch it online, download it, go to the cenima, i dnt care you have to watch it!

Friday Flicks #1

one word: C L A S S I C

awesome movie, once you're done watching you have learned absolutely nothing, except maybe how to ditch school and live for a day. Honestly there's no way a person can watch this movie and not cheer up. Mathew Broderick is hilarious and so is his worried friend. I swear they dont make movies like these anymore... Its just funny! i really cant describe it ;p u have to watch it yourself and if i have to rate it then it'l get the "classic" rating.

Iron Man 2 Review!!

I just came back from iron man2, a movie ive been psyched to watch for months! The catch? thanks to my lovely friends i missed the first 20 minutes of it :( The fact that i still got what was going on was great. The movie was action packed, and thank to Robert Downey Jr. it had the same hilarious lines in between, the plot was great i was disappointed it KNCC didnt play it in 3D but still it was amazing! and the only that was off was the fact they replaced Terrence Howard with Don Cheadle. Great movie and worth the time i give it

9 out of 10 rating

Friday Flicks

Even though im very bipolalr i figure my blog should have something stable.. SO from now on eery friday im gonna watch an old movie (90's 80's) and im gonna review it. Alot of blogger review new movies but my brain says this is a good idea :) stay tuned i'll be reviewing this weekend ;D

Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Here's the trailer for the third movie. I hate twilight the books are alright but the movies are awful. The books are just a rip off mn harry potter. I f Kuwaitis finally decided to read why does it have to be a cliche romantic excuse of a book? And the whole "im in love with edward" thing never suited me..
