At home: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I was amazed by the actress who played Lisbeth. It was a really good movie, but, of course, as is usually the case, the book was better. I'd give the movie 8/10 expensive leather jackets.
In the theater: Girl on Fire, the second of the Hunger Games movies. It was good, but again, the book went into more detail and was the 'fuller' story. But I'd give it 8/10 flying arrows. I can't wait for the next installment! |
I watched "Random Acts of Violence". Despite being cheaply made, it's got a lot of good lines and reasonings. 4/5
|
We watched "Walking With Dinosaurs" last night...the kids loved it, but I was bored out of my mind. I'm glad it didn't go all "Land Before Time" with the animation and lip moving for talking...but they still talked. I wasn't feeling it.
2/5. and it only gets the 2 because the kids enjoyed it. xD |
Noah. I can see why Christians don't seem to like it at all but putting that aside, it was interesting. The acting was A+ imo and I enjoyed seeing them all together on the big screen. It was visually stunning (way to go Iceland!) but...
SPOILER |
Bolt [heart] I liked it <3

Cpt America Winter Soilder
It was very actiony. I had a head afterwards from wearing the 3d glasses. I went with my cousins we got lost on the way to the movie theater.
|
I last saw The Grand Budapest Hotel by Wes Anderson. Was quite a treat for me. I loved it.
I'm a big Wes Anderson fan anywho. |
The Grand Budapest Hotel was amazing. I dragged a friend who've never watched an Andersen movie with me to the cinemas to watch it when it was first released here. We enjoyed it thoroughly, although she said the whole movie was surreal. [lol]
|
I saw Winter Soldier. It was pretty good, but I noticed that Captain America wore the same shade of lipstick as Black Widow. It was kinda odd, but the that's what stuck with me through most of the film.
I think I'd give the film a four out of five, but I didn't really take it too seriously. I'm not really good at keeping my brain engaged while watching a movie or show. Not unless it is something that really captivates me. Even then, I need to see it a few more times to give any messages the film show, other than things that are super obvious. But yeah, four out of five, would see again [sup] |
|
I watched Blades of Glory. O.o
Gods...I don't know why I watched that, but the idea behind it was interesting. I don't like movies like that though. It was so retarded and ridiculous, but I think I'd still overall rate it a 6 out of 10. I did watch through the whole thing after all. |
I watched Heaven Is For Real. I would give it a 10/10. The little boy was absolutely adorable and the story was so inspiring. I walked out of the theater feeling good.
|
I saw "Ender's Game" with my family when I was visiting. If you have read the book I'd give it a 6/10 for trying and being almost there. If you haven't read the book it's a solid 8/10, great action sci-fi movie, but it wouldn't make too much sense not knowing what everything going on is, but it hold well on its own.
|
I saw "This is The End" yesterday, which was pretty good. I felt like it was kinda cheesy at times, but overall it was watchable. (I wouldn't want to watch it again, though.) Then again, what do you expect when you've got Seth Rogen as the director? [lol]
|
The last movie I saw was Justice League War and I thought it was delightful garbage.
They token foreigner'd Wonderwoman, made a 'Captain Daddy Issues' out of Cyborg, and tried way too hard to make Superman 'cool'. The animation was wonderful, but I found the writing fell very flat, very fast. two chocolate stars out of five |
Maleficent. And uhm, yeah it was pretty awesome. I don't really watch movies too much anymore.
|
Today I watched "A Patch of Blue", made in the 1960's and about a blind white girl who falls in love with a black guy. The dialogue, the performances and the filming were all really nice. It's an older film but it doesn't have as much of a dated feel. It's definitely one to watch if you're interested in social issues and/or old, black-and-white films.
I hardly ever watch movies but we have cable while on vacation and I've had TCM on all the time lol edit: forgot to rate haha, I'll give it a 4.5/5 |
Transformers: Age of Extinction. I'd give it a 3/5, maybe a high 2.8/5. It was more of Bay's standard spiel, but there were a few points that actually stood out decently, which made it at least mildly enjoyable of a watch. Don't go in expecting a masterpiece, or characters you know and love, because it doesn't really have any of that. But the transformers get more spotlight, and it doesn't have that annoying kid who played Sam. Which is a win in my book.
|
Thor: The Dark World. 9/10 or 4.5 stars
I am a fangirl. Of Lady SIF someone give Jaimie Alexander her own movie. I'm serious. But since this isnt that movie and I'll take what I can get: this is my favorite Marvel Movie. I laugh my self silly everytime I watch. Especially when Loki and Thor have that little... walk... in the hall. But my favorite part is when Loki lands the spaceship/boat with a thump, bounce and says ta-da! |
Salo, or 120 Days of Sodom
I don't even know why I watched it, maybe out of curiosity of the exceedingly grim nature of it, the fact that it's banned in some countries, and a fascination with cinema from the 1970's. Every movie I've seen made in the 70's has a sense of doom looming over all of it, even if it's a comedy or whatever. It's a sick, soul-crushing movie. It deals with fucked-up people imprisoning a bunch of kids (they're much younger in the book than they are in the film) and subjecting them to a bunch of fucked-up, dehumanizing shit. The finale was one of the most unsettling things I've ever seen. There are many ways one could interpret it. It could be seen as a profound social commentary. It could be seen as a pointless smutfest. If I have to rate this, 3/5, I think it achieved what it was intended to. The acting could have been a little better. I'll keep it in the middle so it can be rounded up or down. |
I just finished Little Women (1994) and I rate it 10/10. It's that amazing!
|
An Education: 9/10
I had been meaning to watch this film for ages and my roommate just so happened to own it so we had a movie night. Carey Mulligan was wonderful. |
David Finchers Gone Girl.
Rate it a 10/10 if you love Fincher. So good. Went from pretty good, to great, to amazing in almost 3 hours. |
Last one I remember is Charlie Bartlett. 9/10 IMO. It's relatable with the troubled youth trying to escape their problems through..uh..unconventional means.No spoilers~
|
The last movie I watched was Byzantium. I'd honestly say it's one of my favorite movies and I'd give it a tentative, almost certain 5/5. The cinematography is gorgeous, it's a vampire story that's about a mother/daughter relationship I mean come on how often do you see that, and the acting in it is absolutely wonderful.
