Oh so yeah....

So I watch Step Brothers and Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging.
But I really didn't take either seriously so I didn't make any mental notes.
So sorry. D:

New Years Resolution: Read Sherlock Holmes


So, for my Princess's (aka my father) birthday we went to go see Sherlock Holmes (another family affair without my Grandmother for once). Though I was throughly embarrassed by my Dad's movie theater etiquette, I still enjoyed the movie.
This time, Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and his dear friend Watson (Jude Law) are on, well a case. Though movie necessarily doesn't one hundred per cent revolve around the case. It also has to do with Watson's recent engagement to Mary Mortstan (Kelly Reilly). But only as a small side story. On the other hand, the mystery they have to face is the death of Lord Blackwell (Mark Strong), and how he's still killing people. There is no true way to weave in the ending without spoiling it so I won't say anything. Lately I've been seeing ok decent movies. Sherlock Holmes was pretty amazing. I loved loved loved the score I thought it was very good. And for once Watson had a spine, thank God!

Bottom line: Yes yes yes! Go see it, please.

Nine Reasons Why This was Awkward.

Yup, I went to see Nine (the musical Oscar movie, not the Burton produced digital movie.)
1. I was the youngest in the theater.
2. My grandmother was in between my Mother and me, she fell asleep during it.
3. My Mom turns to me and says "I like the sand effect" during Fergie singing Be Italian,
4. There were a lot of couples...
5. I have no idea how this got rated PG-13 (definitely should be rated R)
6. I kept knowing people's faces but not their name (more annoying than awkward)
7. Fergie is the whore character (enough said)
8. I'm Italian
9. I was afraid we'd get kicked out of the theater because the guy didn't rip my ticket because he was chasing some guy who didn't have a ticket (You're good Moses but not that good. XD)
going to tell you what a lot of people are saying. You think it will get better, but it truly doesn't. The acting is great, and the music too (the music is fabulous I love Be Italian and Cinema Italiano). It's a shame that such a promising cast didn't have that great story line they deserve. It's a very sexy movie, very. This movie is almost has a documentary feel, because it explain Guido Contini's (Daniel Day-Lewis) life through song, and all the women he loved. Plus it bothered me that there were only seven key women in his movie and not nine, but I'll live. I guarantee there will be Oscar buzz for costume (my, oh my that lingerie, besides that the other stuff was great too) and maybe a few other things. Can it be considered for original song because isn't it somewhat a remake? But anyway, the storyline is also small, it's Guido is making a new movie, and then he has no idea what to make it on. That's pretty much what it is, and he running away and facing his problems.

My bottom line: Yea sure go see it in the theaters, the music is great and if you're a fan for someone, go ahead and watch it.

How Ironic Some Titles Are....


So a few days back I watched Precious. If you've never heard of it, you may have heard of the book it was based on, Push by Sapphire I haven't read the book so I can't compare and contrast or recommend this book, but I can tell you about the movie. C. Precious Jones (Gabby Sidibe) is a sixteen year old growwing up in 1987 Harlem. We start off the movie with Precious getting kicked out of school and discovering that she's pregnant. She doesn't have the best life, she doesn't have money, she got kicked out of school, and she's illiterate. The movie, doesn't focus on one specific thing besides Precious herself. But it does show her home life, school problems, and what's it's like to be her. I watched this with my Mom, and we came to the conclusion that, it was a good movie, but the actors were better than the plot itself. I can see Mo'Nique (Precious's mother) getting nominated for best supporting roll for sure. I'd like to say cudos to you director Lee Daniels You deserve to get some good light shined on you.

Thank God for Snow


Since it's been snowing up the waz and that means movie watch! I'm kinda playing catch up so everyone forgive, but no I'm never doing it on GATTACA or Z-Men Origins or Elf and the Santa Claus. So I'l do it on a new Hollywood blockbuster! The Princess and the Frog.
So, in the 12th I went to go see the Princess and the Frog. The movie focuses on 1920s New Orleans. We're greeted by the classic fairytale of a princess kissing a frog and the frog becoming a prince. In means this story holds to the Grimm fairy tale. Tiana (played by Anika Noni Rose), has a few fairy tales of her own, such as having enough money to open a restaurant. Though, when a Prince from some country far away with loads of riches (good looking cartoon princes I may add) comes to town not to meet up with Tiana, but with her good friend Charlotte (childhood friends, because Tiana's mom sewed Charlotte's princess dresses.) But soon, Tiana and Prince Naveen (play by Bruno Campos) team up to get home and become human again.
The story though is a typical Disney movie, singing and themes like believe in yourself. Even though it bothered me how the stereotypes were used. It wasn't necessarily racist, but they all didn't live in harmony together (I mean as in the people)

Bottom Line: Yea sure, go see it. Pretty good and worth the ten bucks.
