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:

Summer Read: Thirteen Reasons Why

Okay if you're into the kinda weird yet fascinating genre like me, you are going to love this book. It starts with a guy going to his front porch afterschool to see a wrapped parcel addressed to him with no return address. He opens it to find Thirteen cassette tapes are from his classmate who killed herself a couple of before. In the the first tape she explains that if you get the box that means your one of the Thirteen Reasons why she killed herself. With it comes a map of the places she mentions and instructions to send them to the next person on the tapes. The book is SO good that you finish it in one sitting, I recommend it :)

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?

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!

A Little Nip/Tuck

On this blog, we don't.

Obsessco and myself have decided that with the change of the seasons, comes a need for some changes around here. That's right: our blog will be undergoing a face lift of sorts, with hings we can all hopefully applaud as improvements in the months to come. Our faithful readers and welcome guests can look forward to these posts:

Cinema Sundays: Reviews of films currently playing in theaters. Convenient, since Mondays mean half off movie ticket prices. You're welcome.
Media Mondays: An ode to Twitter's #MusicMonday, this day will be for anything music or TV related. Expect reviews of albums, shows, award shows and things of that nature.
Toy Story Tuesdays: Revisiting some of the things/moments/movies that made our childhood.
WTF Wednesday: Everyone needs a safe, healthy environment in which they can rant....OKAY?!
Thursday Thoughts: It's basically the end of the week, and our brains will be too fried to come up with anything better than random ramblings.
Food For Thought Fridays: These posts will simply be pictures of food we're currently craving, because sometime a picture is worth a thousand sprinkles.

Don't worry your little redheads though, this is just a loose structure we're adding on to inject some pizazz into our blogging experience. We'll still be as obsessive compulsive and cynical as always. Think old car with new rims. *Cue Hip-Hop music*

Now for the fun part: Leave a comment below, and throw some ideas our way as to what you would like Saturday to be themed around? All ideas are welcome, and let's see you show off your creative thought bubbles!

At ease soldiers,

S.

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
