Eclipse Trailer!

I hate Twilight, but this doesn't look half-bad. It looks like there will be a lot of action! And DAKOTA IS IN IT!!!

20 Comments about Star Wars!

So I've been watching Star Wars on Spike for majority of the day today and I just wanted to make some comments about the saga. It'll be things I find stupid, interesting, stuff I've never noticed, etc. So enjoy!

1. Why the hell is Darth Sidious sitting at a desk in Episode III when Yoda comes to confront him? I know Family Guy makes fun of this, but what is he doing? Is he doing payroll for the Stormtroopers or making a down-payment on the Darth Star? It's just odd to me.

2. General Grievous is freaking awesome! I wish he had more of a part. According to Wiki, he was a creature from some planet and was in a shuttle crash which left him deformed. That's why he's half-robot and a jedi! Pretty sweet!

3. While filming the Empire Strikes Back, George Lucas tried his absolute hardest to keep the ending (ya know, "I am your father") a secret. Even from the cast. While filming, he had the actor portraying Vader's' body say "Obi-Wan killed your father," then they went back and had James Earl Jones dub the line as "I am your father." Only six people knew that Vader was Luke's father: George Lucas, the director, two writers, Mark Hamill (Luke), and James Earl Jones (Vader's voice).

4. I hate these special edition versions of the original trilogy. They went back and added in some "cool" visual effects, such as the deleted scene of Jabba and Han Solo talking in the hanger in Episode IV. At the time they released that version (which was in the 90s), it looked cool, but today it just looks bad. Jabba's in high-def and looks awkward against the background of the original film from the 70s. The original film is all faded and Jabba is all fake looking. It's just stupid. They should've done more subtle things.

5. After Episode III was released, they went back to Episode V and replaced a hologram with the original Emperor to a hologram of the actual Emperor. See, the Emperor in Episodes I, II, III, and VI are all the same actor, even if they are years apart. But in Episode V, they filmed an old lady in make up and a hood, and replaced her eyes with chimpanzee eyes and voice with the actors voice. They replaced monkey-eye-old-lady-face with the Emperor from the other films and I think the new version looks bad. I don't know why, but that particular scene stands apart from the rest of the film.

6. I like that one Jedi chick from the prequel trilogy. The one with the greenish-blue skin. I wish she had more of a part.

7. Why the hell is Obi-Wan nicknamed Ben? I don't get it and they never explain it.

8. Natalie Portman is amazing, throughout. That is all.

9. Blood and gore. In Episode IV, Obi-Wan cuts off some asshole's arm in a bar and it's all bloody. We don't see him actually cut it off. We just see a struggle, hear the lightsaber noise, and finally cut to a shot of an arm on the ground with blood on one end. People thought this was so horrible, so George never put blood in the movies again. Kind of a bummer. People get things cut off all the time. Both of Anakin's arms and legs; Luke's arm; Qui-Gon gets stabbed; Leia gets shot; Jengo Fett, Count Dooku, clones, and Vader (in a dream) get beheaded; Darth Maul is cut in half; Obi-Wan is like tapped by Vader then disappears; Anakin burns (but that's pretty realistic). Get what I mean? All of that happens and no blood. I understand it a little. 5/6 of the movies were PG. But a little blood wouldn't hurt (ha!). You don't want to be in the same boat as Narnia and their absence of blood.

10. The guy that flies the Millennium Falcon with Lando in Episode VI reminds me of a Mexican. That may sound back, but he's speaking another language and it looks like he has a thin gangster mustache. Not trying to be mean, but that's what it reminds me of.

11. How do you pronounce Han Solo's name? Hon (like H-on, as in the light is on) or Han (like H-An, as in look at the Hancock building). I like Hon. Or Hawn. So from now on it's Han Solo, pronounced Hawn Solo. Deal? Good.

12. As much as I'd be interested in seeing Episodes VII, VIII, and IX made and released, I'd rather they not do that. I loved the prequel trilogy, but so many hated it. Let's just leave it at six.

13. What are my favorite episodes in order, you ask? Well I'll tell ya. Return of the Jedi (VI), Revenge of the Sith (III), Attack of the Clones (II), A New Hope (IV), The Empire Strikes Back (V), and Phantom Menace (I). They all change though. The bottom three vary.

14. Scenes I love the most because they're so amazing: Yoda vs. Dooku, Yoda vs. Sidious, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul, the escape from Jabba's barge, the Ewok battle, the Pod Race, General Grievious' scenes, Obi-Wan vs. Jengo Fett, Mace Windu vs. Darth Sidious, the entire ending of Attack of the Clones, R2-D2 flying, Anakin vs. Obi-Wan... maybe more, idk.

15. If you haven't seen Blue Harvest or Something, Something, Something, Dark Side, you need to. They're the Family Guy spoofs of Star Wars and they nail it perfectly.

16. They're supposed to make a new series on like Fox or something that is the time between Episodes III and IV. It's been in pre-production forever and I wish they'd get a move on it. It should be good. And it'll be live-action. GET TO WORK!

17. I like Hayden Christiansen as Anakin. Many people really hate him. Yes, he's kinda plain and emotionless, but I feel like Anakin would be just like that.

18. How could they not know Palpatine was the Sith lord?! When I first saw Episode I, I didn't pick up on that. I was like 10. But now that I'm older and watching these movies, how could they not speculate that he's evil. Everybody's dumb!

19. I think the prequel trilogy was a little heavy on the visual effects. Yes, it was new and fresh, but I think some of the space scenes from the original trilogy were more realistic looking than those in the prequel trilogy. I think they downgraded when they thought they were upgrading. And it's not even the space scenes. Even scenes where they're sitting in front of a window and you see all the commotion outside: the prequel trilogy fills the window up with stuff that draws you away from the dialogue and the original trilogy never has windows so we don't have to deal with that bullshit! And you'd think that the prequel trilogy's technology and settings would be less technologically advanced than the original's... Not true here. It seems like they get dumber over the years. That's like Thomas Edison inventing the iPod a hundred years ago, and us not figuring out how he did that today. It's all backwards.

20. Yoda. Yoda was a puppet in Episodes V and VI and some scenes of Episode I. Then in Episodes II and III, he was completely CGI. In Episode I, he looked so ugly. SO ugly! I don't know why they made him look so different. Even the puppets in V and VI and the CGI versions look the same. He just looks completely different in the first one and he looks 100 years older. I don't know if that's just me, but it bothers me. Anyways, I liked him CGI. He looked very real, but at times he did look fake. The puppet versions were good. George Lucas even campaigned for Frank Oz to be nominated for an Oscar for Episode V (but apparently a puppeteer can't be up for Supporting Actor). Rumor has it that George Lucas will rerelease all of the films in 3D (which is fine and totally expected at this point in the movie industry) but he'll also replace all of the puppet Yodas with CGI Yodas instead. That I think is stupid. It should be illegal.

New movies I stumbled across...

So I was just playing around on IMDb.com because that's what I usually do when I'm bored. That's how I know SOOO much about movies. I came across some new films that are in-production and wanted to share them. I always think this stuff is so interesting.

Now, be warned that these are just in-production. It is quite possible that many of these films will get cancelled or postponed.

I Am Stewart Gilligan Griffin!

My latest mood for this week can be best demonstrated through the video below. Enjoy.

And laugh your ASSS OFFF!!! Hahaha.

New Movies I Want to See!!

You Again with Betty White, Sigorney, Jamie Lee, and Kristin Bell.

From DisneyNature: African Cats

Inception with Leo and Ellen Page.

Super 8 by J.J. Abrams and the lord almighty, Steven Spielberg.

Beastly. A modern Beauty and the Beast with Vanessa Hudgens.

Buried with Ryan Reynolds.

And the winner of Dancing With the Star is NICOLE!!

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I'm so happy that the champion is Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls and her partner Derek Hough. Although, when the competition started, I wanted my dear Pamela Anderson to win (and she should've). Lol.

I'm so glad Evan 'America's Sweetheart' Lysacek did NOT win. I'm sorry, but he didn't deserve it. People only love him because he's an Olympic Champion and they think he's hott. 1. I'll bet a million bajillion imaginary money that he is gay. (I'm not normally like that, because I hate it when people do that to me, but I'm gonna do it this once). 2. He's no Michael Phelps. If Evan is an American Sweetheart for winning at the Olympics, then Michael Phelps is an American God. And I was sooo tired of him talking. He talks with such a monotone voice and he's boring. He's like an airhead. That's where I stand on him.

And then we didn't need more Olympians winning the title. Shawn Johnson, Apolo Anton Ohno, and Kristi Yamaguchi have all won Dancing With the Stars.

In the perfect world in my head (apart from the fantasy where Pam wins), Erin Andrews from ESPN would've been the runner up. I knew deep down she would get third, though. I loved her and Maks and their crazy relationship. They were so funny. He's her Russian. HE'S FROM UKRAINE, ERIN! Haha. So funny.

Kate Gosselin surprised me today with her return. She wasn't half-bad. Niecy and Pam were fucking HOTT!!! And I enjoyed Shannen Doherty. I'm sure she would've done really well if she wasn't voted off. She was like Pamela-good.

People keep giving Nicole shit because she's a professional dancer already. She's part of the Pussycat Dolls where she sings and dances. Okay, she's not a PROFESSIONAL dancer. They wouldn't have let her do the show if she were already good. She got 6's from Glen and such. So people need to back off. It's not as easy as it looks. And another thing... women have it so much harder in this competition. Don't get me wrong, men have it hard to... but when you get into the swing of leading and lifts and such, it probably isn't that hard. Women are critiqued so much more in my opinion. They have to dance around the men.

I think the funniest thing were my tweets during the show. I'm freaking psychotic during events like this and the Oscars. Here's the list of them:

The series finales of Biggest Loser and Dancing With the Stars are tonight. Which do I watch? #biggestloser #dwts

I'm gonna watch Dancing I think. #dwts

That tango was flawless, Nicole. #dwts

It's harder for women to dance. Men are just things to dance around. Nicole and Erin have it harder than evan. Should be recognized. #dwts

Damnit Erin! It was supposed to be you and Nicole in the final two. #dwts

@ErinAndrewsESPN I love you. You shouldve been in the final two with Nicole.

When Evan talks, I fall asleep. He's not a good public speaker. Say something interesting Evan!!! #dwts

Larry King just said he'd vote for Nicole but since Evan is an olympian, he deserves it. That's bullshit. So many Olympians have won already

Pissed Michael won the Biggest Loser. I liked Ashley and Darius more. #biggestloser (Biggest Loser's Season Finale was tonight as well)

That was hot. Both Niecy and my Pam!!!! #dwts

Yeah Nicole! Yeah!!!!!!!! @nicolescherzy #dwts

Wow Evan. I expected more from you. Nicole's got this. #dwts

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Nicole Scherzinger wins Dancing With the Stars!!!! My life is complete.

EVAN SUCKED, GET OVER IT! Everyone wanted him to win because he's America's sweetheart Olympian! DUMB! Yay Nicole #Dancing #dwts

Yeah, I'm so mean! Lol. Well, that was that. Can't wait til next season. This is the first season I actually followed closely. I hope they have just as big of stars next season!

Follow me on Twitter!

DVD Tuesday! New releases!

-Dear John

-The Road

That's it. I'm not even kidding. I couldn't find any little unknown movies to list. Just random television seasons and DVDs going Blu-Ray.

Bad day. I haven't seen either of these movies, but I plan to.

Next week: Alice!

Lost: Rest in Peace

Tonight was the series finale of the epic ABC show, Lost. Actually I'm watching it as I write.

Erik is a huge, huge fan of the show and I'm watching it with him. He's seen every episode and he was watching it with me last summer but we only got up to the middle of the second season. So, like many others currently watching, I have absolutely no idea what's going on. (And to be honest I don't think he does either; he just claims he does. Jk)

I watched the first 3 episodes when it originally premiered. Up until I saw a polar bear randomly running through the jungle with no explaination. And being in the second season, I still have not found out why an effing polar bear was on a tropical island.

Anyways, I'm watching this episode having no comprehension whatsoever. I give props to those who've stuck with it for this long. Sooner or later I'll see the entire series, but for now it'll rest in peace.

Goodbye Lost.

Michael Lohan, who do you think you are?

Michael Lohan, aka Lindsay Lohan's father, is a fucking idiot.

This guy thinks that he is the most amazing person in the world. He tweets constantly as if people care. I would like to meet someone who openly follows him on Twitter and cares about what he has to say. Really. It's just bullshit bullshit bullshit.

He's been in and out of prison, hence why Lindsay hates him, for the stupidest reasons.

Ugh, I know this is completely random, but this douchebag just pisses me off.

Michael Lohan, no one likes you and no one cares what you have to say you spotlight hog!

Movie Review: Valentine's Day

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

Don't worry. I'll chill out with the movie reviews soon. Because I'll have no one to watch movies or see movies with. Bitter you say? Yes, I am. :|

Anyways. Valentine's Day. (ironic)

I LOVED this movie!

I don't want to give too much away because so many things come together in the end. So basically, I love:

1. Anne Hathaway

2. Julia Roberts

3. The Queen

4. Taylors Lautner and Swift

5. Eric Dane and Bradley Cooper

6. Jessica Biel

7. Jennifer Garner

This movie made me love Anne Hathaway ten times more. She really is a great actress! Her phone sex scenes were SOOO funny. I could not stop laughing. And I'm so glad her and Tropher Grace got together!

Julia was paid LOADS of money for almost 6 minutes of screen time. I want to be her. According to IMDb.com she "was paid nearly $12,000 for each word she says in this film: 251 words in return for, reportedly, a $3 million paycheck." I heard it was 6 million. Hmm. But make sure you watch the credits with the bloopers. Her last one is hysterical. Pretty Woman nod!

Queen Latifah is her usual AMAZING self. Her 'African Queen' thing is a nod to Bringing Down the House!

Taylor Swift was amazing! Everybody told me she was a terrible actress, but I thought she nailed the dumb blonde thing! I thought she was hilarious.

The Eric Dane and Bradley Cooper storyline was really cute and I did NOT see that ending coming! Wow.

I hate Jessica Biel on a good day, but I liked her in this. She was pretty funny. And Jennifer Garner when she was beating the crap out of the piñata... awesome! Nearly peed myself.

I thought this was a great movie and I'm definitely buying it. I also read that a sequel is in the works. It's going to be called New Year's Eve and their hoping that the entire cast will return. It's set for a December 2011 release. Can't wait! EVERYONE BETTER RETURN!

Now here's a clip of Anne and Tropher!

100th Post!

Happy 100th Post!

Ba-da da da da I'm lovin' it!

Hope you've all been enjoying because I sure have!

Please make a Charlie's Angels III!!!

Dear Drew Barrymore, please make a Charlie's Angels III!!!!

Who's with me?

Personally, I love these movies. I love women that kick ass. Even if it isn't that realistic.

I've always thought they should make one more. To conclude the series and make it a trilogy. Similar to what they're currently doing with Men in Black and Ghostbusters.

After I googled it to see if anything was in the works, I read that Drew is very interested (like 'it'll happen' interested) in making another and she stated that while promoting He's Just Not That Into You, so it's legit and current... somewhat.

I also saw links on Google about Rihanna being rumored to star in it. Maybe to be the bad guy like Demi Moore? That'd be hott. I love me some Rihanna. But then who'd be Bosley? Bernie Mac is dead may he rest in peace and I doubt Bill Murray would come back. Maybe Rihanna will be Bosley!!! Bahahahaha. Or maybe Shia since he was randomly was in the second one. But I doubt he'd come back. He's a mature, serious actor now. Whatever.

And personally, I enjoy McG films. I live the first two and I loved Terminator Salvation. People says he's crap, but he loves crazy, unrealistic action. Like me.

In conclusion Ms. Barrymore, get to work on that for me. I'd love to see you, Lucy, and Cameron kick some ass one more time. Thanks.

Movie Review: Shrek: The Final Chapter

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

The first thing I'm going to do in this post is bitch. (Although I'll be bitching mostly throughout).

GET THE TITLE STRAIGHT, DREAMWORKS!

Seriously. The movie went from Untitled Shrek Sequel to Shrek 4 to Shrek Goes Fourth to Shrek: Forever After and Shrek: The Final Chapter. AND THEY KEEP FLIPPING BETWEEN THE LAST TWO!

There are so many advertisements out for this movie that say different titles. It's so annoying. So I'm just going to dub this Shrek: The Final Chapter.

I was disappointed. It don't think this one lived up to the earlier ones. It wasn't that funny. It only had its moments.

I didn't like how it was like a dream movie. In the beginning, Shrek is shifted to an alternate universe and at the end, returns to reality as if nothing ever happened.

I also feel like this one didn't have anything to do with the others. The Queen (Julie Andrews) was hardly in it. And Artie (Justin Timberlake), who is the current King, was completely omitted. You could watch the first movie and skip 2 and 3 (just know that they have children) and pick up in the 4th one and have everything still make sense.

I was just very disappointed. They could've come up with a better story. One without stupid Rumpelstiltskin.

Megan Fox quit Transformers 3!

Could you imagine watching a Transformers movie without this chick on the screen?

I can't.

Megan Fox called it quits on the series after rumors of her being axed for being a bitch. Yes, she is a bitch most likely, but that's why we love her. She's Megan Fox. She does what she wants.

But what is a car/robot movie without her? A bad one. That's it.

The girl who was the lead in the latest Clash of the Titans is in final negotiations to play Shia's new babe.

I'm sorry. I hate that; when they get rid of a key character in the first two films and get someone new for the third. Dumb. And Michael Bay said he was going to take this one seriously after the second one didn't go over so well with those stupid twins (which were written out, thank god).

They better get rid of her in a good way and replace her with someone worthy of her spot!

That's all I'm saying.

Movie Review: Daybreakers

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

I liked where they were going with this, but they could've done it better.

The story was good. In 2019, vampires make up majority of life on this planet and they're capturing and harvesting humans for their blood. Humans are becoming extinct and they in hiding. So basically, pretend you're living in a world of vampires and gas/oil is blood. We're low.

I liked that the vampires in this story were like the traditional vampire. No reflection, feeds on human blood, cannot go in direct sunlight, pale, and die via wooden stake. Notice how I didn't say glittery skin... stupid Twilight.

The movie was really good up until the end which is where they failed. It wasn't very climatic. The final fight scene wasn't dramatic. It could've been done [deciding which word to use] BIGGER!

I liked the idea at the end though. Very clever. You see, when a vampire bites a human that was turned back from being a vampire (so they went human -> vampire ->born-again human), the vampire that bites them becomes human. Then someone bites them and so on and so on. They're trying to turn people back from being vampires so there would be no need to feed on human blood. Creative right?

I also enjoyed seeing Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill in this movie.

Overall, it was a decent movie. Entertaining, scary at times, but it lacked in some areas.

Movie Review: Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

Anna Faris, you've been vindicated!

I just wrote a movie review a couple of days ago for Observe and Report and I didn't speak to highly of my beloved. :(

Anyways... Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs...

This movie was amazingly funny and creative.

What I think I loved most about it was that everything was quick. Not like it was a short movie (although it was), but all their movements were quick and funny.

And all of the little things were funny. Such as the monkey, or the sardines or anchovies or whatever, or the island they live on. Everything was just funny.

I should mention that I didn't read the book at all as a child (shame on my parents), and yet this movie was awesome! Seeing the movie without reading, 4,893,059,384; reading the book before a movie, 0.

I definitely recommend this movie. Better than anything Disney would've pushed out. An adult would love this movie. ;)

Movie Review: A Perfect Getaway

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

Although I write that this will contain spoilers, I don't want to spoil it.

This is a great movie.

In the movie, newlyweds are being murdered in Hawaii and we are introduced to numerous couples, but we follow one throughout the film.

All I'm going to say is that I'm so glad the couple I liked most weren't the bad guys.

Like I said, I don't want to spoil the movie even though you shouldn't be reading this unless you've seen it.

But the movie is great. Romance, death, guns, gore, mystery, thrill, twists n' turns.

It's great. See it!

OMG, Aunt Roz! I mean... Deevy See!

So, when we were in Walt Disney World this past November, we went to this dinner/show thing, Magical Gatherings at the Odyssey in Epcot and Aunt Roz was the host. She was this crazy fun lady who wore a turban and entertained us while we ate.

Last night, we went to a Disney Vacation Club event in Chicago and there was this character so much like her named Deevy See (Deevy See = DVC = Disney Vacation Club). After the show, she stopped by our table and my cousin asked if she was Aunt Roz and she got so excited. She was like yeah, I can't believe you guys could figure that out! (It wasn't that hard.) But then we told her about when we saw her and she claims she remembered us and such. Whether she does or not doesn't really matter. It was just so exciting to see her. She is amazing.

If you'd like to meet her, she hosts the Magical Gatherings in Epcot (Parties of 8 or more only. Dinner, then priority seating for Illuminations), and she can be found on Hollywood Blvd. in MGM Hollywood Studios and Main Street U.S.A in the Magic Kingdom. And she also is lurking around the Boardwalk on Wednesdays apparently. It was so exciting to see her!

Movie Review: Robin Hood

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

Technically, this is like a prequel to Robin Hood. Kind of.

I didn't have that much interest in seeing this movie, but it was something to see.

I heard and read nothing but bad things about it and during the first hour of the movie, I'd agree with those critics. It was slow-paced and I have such trouble following movies like this! With their medieval English accents and terminology... it's hard for me to keep up. This also the first time I ever saw a movie like that in theaters.

I'm also not that familiar with the real story of Robin Hood. I only know what I've learned from Disney's animated version of Robin Hood and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. And I know the 'robs from the rich and gives to the poor' schtuff.

Which brings me to my first point: he doesn't do that. It doesn't follow the traditional story of Robin Hood. He isn't an outlaw... yet. That's what makes it a prequel. At the end of the movie, he goes into hiding and Prince King John is having him hunted. Which is why I think it wasn't properly titled. It should've been Robin Hood Begins, The Legend of Robin Hood, Robin Hood: The Rise of the Merry Men. Haha.

Needless to say that this movie sets up for a sequel that better be made.

The epic battle in the end wasn't as good as it could've been. I felt like I was watching Saving Private Ryan and the French were storming Normandy with their WWII-like boats. Right? Right? And the battle was anti-climatic. Robin and the army rode into the battle as the French were arriving via boats. So there was no waiting for the enemy or planning a strategy. They kind of just went at it, which was unusual, however, it worked for this movie in a way.

Russel Crowe was his typical, lame, badass self. Gladiator 2! Haha. And Cate Blanchett was her usual medieval self too. Old movies like this were made for these two actors.

It's a good movie. It's rather long though. I'd suggest seeing it when it's on DVD. It's buyable.

Movie Review: Observe and Report

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

I've wanted to see this movie for the longest time. Since it's release. But it's been a year since then and I couldn't remember why I wanted to see it so much. Hell, I didn't even know much about it. I knew Seth Rogan was in it and Anna Faris was in it.

I was disappointed. Mostly because Anna Faris had little screen time and she was a bitch.

Basically, all you need to know about this movie is that it is the R-Rated version of Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

It had its funny moments. I didn't care for Michael Peña or his funny accent. He was like Napoleon Dynamite's best friend Pedro.

Whatever. ...Glad I saw it. Probably won't see it again for a while. It's just a check off my to-do list.

✓ CHECK!!

Movie Review: Brüno

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

Borat was SO 2006!

...and this movie was SO crazy!

Crazy, as in fucked up.

We all enjoyed Borat because it was so crazy. This was just as crazy, but I don't think it lived up to Borat's standard. But leave it to Sasha Baron Cohen to create yet another original character.

He plays a gay, Austrian, ex-television host that travels to Hollywood to "make it big."

Brüno and Borat both have a knack for getting into situations where their kind is not welcome. Both of them at some point end up in the South and deal with hardcore white and religious people. That's the one thing that bothers me about these movies. It reminds me how narrow-minded and intolerant people still are. This is where my stereotyping and hatred for religious folk and republicans comes in (like the scene with the gay converter who says Jesus is the right path). But, some of my friends (shout out!) are helping me become tolerant. Haha.

Anyway, that's just me. Let's get back to the movie...

Borat came out to to show audiences that we should be tolerant and understanding of other cultures whose norms are different than ours. Like, the film made us see how big of assholes Americans are. And, if you're not stubborn, you know that we are assholes. The movie made you see the true side of your own culture. Brüno does the same. However, it shows how homosexuality is viewed by our culture. And while this movie tries its hardest to do good for gay culture and try to make viewers realize that we should be accepting of that culture, I think it kind of hurts its own cause. Brüno showed the extreme femininity of gay culture. His actions, language, wardrobe are all to the extreme and people need to realize that all gays aren't like that. The macho-est men can be gay.

The movie has it laughing moments, and OMG moments. Paula Abdul is in it like Pamela Anderson was in Borat. Although, Paula is no Pam! I'm glad I saw the movie like Borat... but I don't think I'll buy it or see it again for another ten years... like Borat!

New Narnia Poster Out!

The new poster for the newest Narnia is here. It comes out in December of this year, but The Voyage of the Dawn Trader will not be released by Disney.

Disney SURPRISINGLY sold the rights to future Narnia films to 20th Century Fox. When I heard this, I was shocked. The Chronicles of Narnia was Disney's Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Twilight. I can't believe they sold out on it!

But hopefully now we'll actually see some death, blood, and destruction in the Narnia films. Thank god.

Narnia.

The Disney Renaissance

Once upon a time, The Walt Disney Company released brilliant movie after brilliant movie. But it only happened between 1989 and 1999. This decade is referred to as the Disney Renaissance.

Disney went through a time when they were forcing out movies that were disappointing at the box office. Examples of these films include Oliver & Company, The Great Mouse Detective, and probably Disney's worst movie release EVER, The Black Cauldron. A large contributing factor is that after Fox and the Hound, 12 of Disney's key animators left the company.

After much hard work, they got back into the swing of things and released 9 hit films in a row. These films are:

1. The Little Mermaid (1989)

(<- The Rescuers Down Under 1990)

2. Beauty and the Beast (1991)

3. Aladdin (1992)

4. The Lion King (1994)

5. Pocahontas (1995)

6. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)

7. Hercules (1997)

8. Mulan (1998)

9. Tarzan (1999)

Dinosaur, The Emperor's New Groove, and Atlantis: The Lost Empire followed and were successful, but not successful enough as the other nine. However, when they released Treasure Planet and Home on the Range, the Renaissance Era was officially over. I haven't even seen them. All I hear is terrible things about those two movies.

The Rescuers Down Under can sometimes be part of the renaissance, but its financial success could not even begin to compare to the others. Haha.

Disney is trying to get back to their original roots and released The Princess and the Frog which wasn't terrible, but no Beauty and the Beast! They think they lost audience interest in the film by having 'Princess' in the title. Boys apparently thought it was girly. Because of that, the company changed the title of their next major motion picture from Rapunzel to Tangled.

I don't know why I'm talking about this topic. It's just interesting to me. Came from one of my random Wikipedia searches. :) Hope it was interesting!

Heroes is CANCELLED!

After much speculation and extremely poor ratings, the NBC (former) hit show has been cancelled.

This used to be one of the my favorite shows. I watched season 1 while I was at SIUC and then watched seasons 2 and 3. I watched the first couple episodes of the 4th season, but that's when I began to lose interest.

The show's writers were terrible. Things became confusing and some things were never explained. I don't think the writer's strike during season 2 helped. That strike screwed up many shows.

I loved this show. I was smart and hooking when it first came out, but it'll lose you. Rest in peace, Heroes. I'll miss Hayden and Zachary.

Movie Review: Law Abiding Citizen

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

This was a very entertaining film. Notice how I say 'entertaining' as opposed to 'good.'

It was a good movie, however it was very cliché.

I'm so tired of the father that wants revenge. Really? How about a woman who wants revenge? Like The Brave One with Jodie Foster (well I guess that doesn't count, if you know what I mean ;)

I do like how everything played out though. Like how Gerard Butler got around and such. But ever since the judge shockingly died that horrific death, I kept anticipating everything to randomly blow up.

I also wasn't expecting the movie to be so gory and violent and full of such profanity. Jeez. I mean, I could handle it. I like that kind of stuff, but I wasn't anticipating it. It just looked like one of those clean, violent movies. Lol.

And Jamie Foxx needs to GO THE FUCK AWAY. I really hate him. Idiot. Ever since he released an album, he's all rapper and badass and whatnot. Really? You're not cool. Just because you released a hip-hop album doesn't make you gangster. Raven-Symoné released a rap album after she filmed the Cosby Show and before she began filming That's So Raven. She's normal... and amazing!

So, good movie. An entertaining film. Kind of predictable, kind of not. Lol. I'd buy it.

New Trailer: Easy A

I don't know about you, but I LOVE Emma Stone! I loved her in Superbad and I loved her in Zombieland. I know I'll love her in this new movie. Check it out!

I Beat KGB!

You know... 542 542. Text any question and they'll answer it.

This was a couple months ago, but I texted them after watching an episode of The Beautiful Life: TBL. I wanted to know the name of song that is played during the credits. I searched for hours online and couldn't find a thing. I texted them and they responded about an hour later. They said that this happens sometimes, that they are unable to answer every question. No charge.

I just thought it was a funny story to share. I've texted them a couple of other times but that is the only question so far that they couldn't answer.

I ended up asking the question on the boards for the show on IMDb.com and I got a response with the answer within a couple hours. It's a song by Jupiter Rising. Lol.

Movie Review: District 9

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

This movie surprised me.

Prior to seeing it, I heard mixed feelings about it. Not about the story, but about how it was filmed. I heard that the entire thing was shot like a documentary. Then, I heard it wasn't. Then, I heard it was a hybrid of documentary style and normal cinematic-style. Well, I've watched it and it's the latter (meaning the hybrid).

In the beginning I thought they were going to lose me with the documentary-style of the film. I don't want to say it was boring, so I'll say it was interesting. It kept you interested. You're learning about this new alien race that lives on Earth with humans.

I want to say around 30-45 minutes into the movie, the story kicks in and the movie actually begins. It's very violent throughout and lots of swears. Just the way I like it. Lol.

The aliens are weird. Definitely like the cockroach guy from Men In Black. It's very interesting that the mothership hovers over a city in South Africa. I liked this. Even in the very, very beginning of the movie they mention that it's odd that it's not over New York City, Chicago, or Washington D.C. instead.

The movie reminded me of Blood Diamond with Leo and that black guy whose name I can never pronounce: Djimon Hounsou. Two unlikely people team up, one is only thinking of himself and the other is fighting for his son and his people. Right?

Anyways, great movie. Deserved it's Oscar nods. It was nominated for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Visual Effects. It lost to The Hurt Locker, Avatar, and Precious. Oh well.

Movie Review: Legion

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

When I first saw the trailer for this movie I thought it looked incredibly stupid and it freaked the shit out of me with the crazy grandma. I stand by the comments about the trailer. The actually movie, however, was great!

I needed Erik to explain certain things to me along the way, but it was a really good movie. 90% of the film takes place in the same location (a typical horror film) but this wasn't very horror-ish. I think it worked for this movie. I loved all of the characters (minus the mom). I even said out loud "if Audrey dies, I hate this movie." Lo and behold, she died. And the black guy died too.

So basically, don't get too attached to the minor characters in this film. They won't be around for long.

Otherwise, the movie was great. Action, blood, horror, love, fantasy, thrill. It had everything. Even religion... but that's not a plus.

When it came to the religion stuff, I had to ask Erik. It was stuff that was way over my narrow-minded head. But great movie. ;)

New on DVD today!

-Toy Story (DVD Edition)

-Toy Story 2 (DVD Edition)

-Daybreakers

-Edge of Darkness

What's stupid is Disney insists on releasing a DVD/Blu-ray Combo Edition a month before the DVD Edition comes out. Just a scam to get you to pay more and buy into the Blu-ray bullshit.
