Woody's Latest

It's pretty well known that one of my favorite movies is Midnight In Paris. I absolutely LOVED that movie. I never get sick of it. Ever.

Ever since I saw that movie I started getting into Woody Allen's other films. Granted, I haven't seen many, but there is some quality of his movies that I seem to love. Aside from MIP, I haven't seen one of his movies I just absolutely adore, but there is something about them that makes me want to watch more, even if I don't enjoy the storyline, or some other aspect.

Every year, Woody Allen directs a new movie, this year was no exception. His latest is called To Rome With Love, starring Woody himself, and other greats such as Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenburg and many other familiar faces, along with a slew of new ones.

When I first saw the commercials I was so excited and I couldn't wait to go see it, but as I sat in the very empty, very cold movie theater, I wasn't really warming up to the movie itself.The movie, TRWL as I will shorten it, follows the path of many different groups of people, mainly couples, who either live, or vacation in Rome. There's the American girl who meets the Roman man and falls in love. Her parents who fly to Rome and are the complete opposite of his parents. Your average Roman middle class worker who becomes famous overnight. Two Roman newleyweds moving to Rome. A Roman prostitute with the wrong customer. The American students studying in Rome with a slight love triangle. And then there was Alec Baldwin's character, a famous architect vacationing in Rome but mainly just plays a part as the subconscious of different characters (it was really creepy and weird).

Honestly, TRWL had the makings of a really great chick-flicky romcom, but something went wrong in all the plots. Each plot had the potential to be really cute, but Woody would add some weird bizarre twist to it that would just be... Well... Weird. As my friend Megan put it during the credits, the movie was "interesting.....".

I can't really think of a great way to describe the movie. As I was telling Megan, many of the storylines would have been very cute and enjoyable, it they hadn't done this or that, which was actually quite disappointing. Maybe I just went into the movie with too high of hopes because it definitely was NOT what I was expecting to see.Who knows, perhaps one day I will watch it again and change my mind, my first judgement can be too harsh sometimes... I'm just saying, if I were the director/writer/producer, I would've changed aspects of the movie to make it less... Bizarre.

Peace Out Kids.

Rainy Day Movie!

Man you gotta love those rainy days. (:
I sure do.
It's the perfect atmoshpere to curl up in bed or on the couch and watch a movie, which, of course, is exactly what I decided to do. (While painting my nails, BONUS!)

So the movie I picked for today was Nine Lives. It's a rather odd movie actually, and I give it two stars at best. It was a series of vingettes, short stories, about 9 different women's relationships with someone. Whether it be a mother, father, child, lover, or themself, each story was about 15 to 20 minutes long.

It was just enough time to really start connecting with the character, then BAM. That's it, shows over folks, let's move on to the next girl...

Super ANNOYING. And if that wasn't torture enough, the directors/writers/producers decided that in each story they would sprinkle in one of the previous, or yet to be mentioned character, as a very minor role. Like someone at a funeral, or the nurse, or a police. They don't have a main part in that person's story, but they are there nonetheless.

In addition, the whole movie makes many refrences to how small the world is and how each person is connected to another. Central Theme maybe? Just a hunch anyways.

One thing that this movie had going for it was it's cast: Robin Wright (who played Jenny in Forest Gump), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter), Amy Brenneman (who's in one of my favorite The Jane Austen Book Club), Amanda Seyfried (the reason I watched this movie, one of my favorite actresses and also Karen from Mean Girls), Sissy Spacek (mainly known for Carrie, but in numerous other films), and Glenn Close (who doesn't know Glenn Close? Sarah Plain and Tall, 101 Dalmations, and MUCH more).

So yea... See it, don't see it. Up to you really. I'll probably never watch it again, but no biggie if I do. I honestly am just kinda nuetral on this movie. It had it's ups and downs I guess. Actually, don't watch it, probably a waste of your time.

Peace Out Kids.

Not So Magic Mike

Ask any girl around the world, "If you could only see one movie in theaters the whole year what would it be?" I guarantee most people would say Magic Mike. Yet, no one really knows, or knew, what Magic Mike was really about!I'll admit wholeheartedly that I went into the movie theater "blind", knowing nothing about the movie itself aside from its painstakingly beautiful cast.

Now, let me tell you a little bit about the movie.

IT. SUCKED.

Sure there was a TON of eye candy, but aside from that, it was awful. And even with the eye candy there was actually not that many scenes of them "stripping" and by stripping I really mean some sexually-charged dance movies and some very skimpy clothing. The biggest disappointment was the fact that Channing Tatum's character 'magic mike' never really stripped to much less that his pants or shorts.

Also, there were as many boobs in the movie as there were buttcheeks! The producers had to know that no straight guy would go see this movie so why bother adding that!? Girls don't like staring at other girls' boobs!

So yea, that movie pretty much stunk, and the ending was awful. There were a million different pathetic storylines - if you can even call them that - and the ending only finished maybe one of them! Now, I heard a rumor that they're already started writing a sequel movie, so hopefully it will tie up some of the loose ends but someone else will have to tell me because I refuse to go see it. And trust me, I'm not the only person who feels this way!! Everyone that I went with had the same reaction and as a group we gave it a C-, just saying...

But it's up to you! If you think $10 is worth maybe thirty cumulative minutes of hot sexy bods, then go ahead and waste your money, but I don't think it's worth it...

Peace Out Kids.

It's a bird! It's a plane! NO, it's just another superhero movie!

First, I'd like to apologize to everyone because I promised that this summer I would be watching a lot of movies, thus there would be more posts for y'all to read. Well obviously that hasn't happened... But I'm going to try and start posting more, I promise!!!

Not to mention that I've been crazy busy so far this summer and I wasn't really expecting to have so little free time!

Well anyways, here is the first review I have for you this summer, and for once it's actually a movie that just came out into theaters! Woohoo I'm on top of the game this time!

Last night instead of sitting outside watching the fireworks, my family and I decided we would go see a movie together instead! The consensus was The new Spiderman movie, even though I was really pushing for Brave... Oh well, it was still an amazing movie! (hehe, anyone catch that? AMAZING?! As in The AMAZING Spiderman...) So anyways... It was really good! Now, I haven't seen the original Spiderman movies with Tobey MaGuire and Kirsten Dunst in a really long time, but I enjoyed those movies thoroughly. But as far as I remember, the story line to the new movie, which had an absolutely wonderful cast might I add, was actually almost the same as the original ones! Except, this movie had Gwen Stacy instead of Mary Jane! But like I said, it's been awhile since I saw the others, so I could be mistaken. (my sister thinks theyre almost exactly the same too.)

Needless to say, I liked this Spiderman WAYYYY better than the old ones and I can't wait to see the second one! Hold onto to your seats folks because this movie is getting a coveted 5 stars from me, I know, shock. Maybe it's because I'm a major sucker for Emma Stone, or maybe it's because Andrew Garfield looked amazing in that skin tight spidey suit, and has an adorable smile... (:

Either way this movie is a winner. Anyone who goes I suggest you stay for the credits because there's a special little sneak peek into the next movie and you don't want to miss out on that now do you!?

Well I think that is going to be all for now. Hopefully I'll have something else for y'all in the near future!

Peace Out Kids.

Hello, Mr. President

Ok. It's time for a big hardy congrats for me!!!!! GUESS WHAT!!!???!!!??? Ok, you'll probably never guess but...... I FINISHED A WHOLE SERIES TODAY! Remember that a while back I said I had never seen a whole series from beginning to end (except for How I Met Your Mother and Glee which are both still on the air...) Well, my mom and I watched the mini-series The Kennedy's today. I guess technically its not a whole series, but it is a mini-series so I feel extremely accomplished. Don't judge me OK? I still finished a whole series, mini or not. It was actually a very good series and it was an accurate depiction on The Kennedys' lives. After each episode my mom would nudge me and say "next one", we just couldn't get enough. We really enjoyed it, but it left out some details - and some people - Ted Kennedy to be specific, but it also included many things that we didn't know much about. Anyways, if you have any time go check it out! Supposedly it wasn't aired on TV because it was too controversial,but I'm not sure if that's true or not! Either way, I loved it!!!!!!!!!!! Peace Out Kids.

HOORAH!

Good news everyone! I Think I've finally figured all of this new stuff out on Blogger so I will not be quitting! [Everybody say "YAY!"] Yay!

So anyways. Some more exciting news... I'm filling out an application for Seventeen's Freshman 15! It would be so cool if I got to be one of their bloggers! Like a dream come true! So wish me luck guys!

I promise I'll start blogging more now that it's summer because not only will I have TIME to blog, but I'll have time to watch movies!

I've had time lately honestly, but I've been using all that time to watch Modern Family. I just got into that show three days ago and I'm already halfway through the second season. It's honestly the best show ever and I can't believe I'm just now getting into it. I want to kick myself for the next three years because I missed three years of awesomeness.

Well this just distracted me, so I better get back to my application!

Peace Out Kids!

Deeeeelish

So I guess the blogoshpere hates me because they decided to change everything up on me, and it really kind of pisses me off. Because.... I don't know how to change half of the things on my profile. So I wanted to let you know that I've now seen 69 movies out of 1001. (:

But since it's not letting me change that. I don't know what I'm going to do. This blog kind of sucks now.

I'm totally unmotivated to continue this blog because everything is so different and I don't feel like relearning everything at the moment.

Maybe I'll keep blogging. But I'm not sure. Right now I'm too pissed to blog.

I was going to tell you not to watch Delicatessen because it sucks, that's the latest movie I saw, Be Tee Dub.

Peace Out Kids.
