Raaar! Ok so I’m kind of getting sick of being right about movies. Like for once, I’d love to be wrong about something. There will be no Eagle Eye review, because despite all my prayers, it still sucked. That thing had so much potential! Like the trailer grabbed you and threw you into intensity! But I couldn’t stay away from the early reviewers and discovered that my doubts were right. It bombed. It was nothing but a load of shit thrown together with Shia Lebouf and with Spielberg’s name in the credits. I mean it super-failed. I wanted to scratch out my eyes after just READING a general play-by-play of it! It was basically like: “Oh no, my brother died. Oh hey look, people are after me. Big brother is watching me. Stuff goes BOOM. Oh, this was all my brothers fault. Ladeda, oh look, if the kid plays that note, someone will die, so lets distract him from his music recital” I KNOW, WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF MOVIE IS THAT!? Like it makes me want to listen to Fall out Boy or something because maybe more suckage will counter that of that movie. But dude, like, that could have been such a great movie without all the supercomputer BS. Like a secret society controlling people and such. That would have been awesome. But no, it was just “Lets stick some random crap together and put some fancy names on it and make a quick buck by scamming innocent movie goers into thinking they’re seeing something worthwhile.” Dear Film industry, GET A FRIGGIN’ GRIP. UGG.

In other news, I saw Repo! The Genetic Opera’s trailer, and I got excited. Because it looks crappy, but the enjoyable, good kind of crappy that makes you go “omg wtf was that…lets see it again.” Haha. I mean, look at the description. Rock opera + Organ Failure. Like that just spells out badassery.   It’s by the SAW guys, so it obviously has a good plot with horrendous pacing and shots.

Anyways, don’t see Eagle Eye. Save your money to go buy a 5 Dollar Foot Long at Subway. It’s healthier than movie theater popcorn and pretzels.

Wow, so I’m at school right now, so obviously, I’m not doing what I am supposed to. I just came across a film that looks marvelous.

Also, I’ll be late on my Eagle Eye review. Sorry for anyone hoping for that this weekend. I haven’t ben able to get out to see it.

So I just watched an amazing trailer.

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809947440/trailer

This is the most original looking thing I’ve seen in ages. I’m really excited about this. I love the sick and twisted. Expect more on this from me later.

On the topic of sick and twisted, I’m still trying to get info on the new SAW.  The 5th annual blood drive for SAW should be at a place near you, so remember to give till it hurts. Anyways, the first trap is the Pendulum Trap, where a man is stuck in a pendulum and must destroy his hands to make it stop. The site clip leaves his fate unknown, but since when has someone survived the opening scene?

And The Twilight movie looks stupider than the books. The lighting and coloring in the trailer looks like a bad photoshop edit. The actors, well, suck. They all look like emo rejects. It’s like “oh….my gosh…I am…a…vampire….letmebiteyouplease.” Please, are we humans so pathetic as to fall for such crap? Get a grip people. Save your money for a rainy day.

Indiana Jones will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on October 14th. It will be released in a 2 disc special edition, a regular one disc edition, and in a Box set of all 4 movies with special bonus content (which is probably just more cast interviews and “the Making Of”) . The 2 disc DVD edition will feature the complte making of the films, the makeup art, info on the crystal skulls (what moron doesn’t already know about those though, hah..), prop information, about the special effects, visualization sequences (I assume the story boards), and art galleries featuring tons of special images from the film. While I never actually watch any of that stuff, I still find it all interesting.

The Dark Knight DVD will be released *ta da* on my birthday, December 9th. Thats really all the info that’s come out on it. It will be one a one disc dvd, a 2 disc special edition, and a one disc blu-ray edition. So, be sure to celebrate my birthday and go out and buy it.  I’ll try and find more information the special features in the upcoming months.

So, mark your calendars. 2 of the hottest movies of the year are coming up for you to own fast.

I’ll be back soon with more movie reviews, such as Ghost Town and Eagle Eye.

Movie oddities.

So I just came across a soon-to-be-released film called “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”. I think it sounds like its worth watching just because of the title. Keep your eye out for it.

In slightly more exciting news, I’m moving back into House of Jigsaw! Saw V will be out next month. While the movies themselves suck, the idea is amazing. The whole concept of “What would you do to stay alive?” It reminds me of Battle Royale a bit..I think it would make a better crime novel then I a movie. The morons that do all the shots are just…ugg. They do have some very good actors. The script isn’t too fresh either tough. It’s too dry and needs more personality thrown into it. I understand that a year is a short amount of time to do some work on the film, but I think spending more time on the actual film and how it is expressed would be the better way to go.

I’m floating around through the movie doldrums today. I saw the Dark Knight is still at the top of the charts. its crazy. On Yahoo atm, it’s number 3. Anyways, some movies I’m looking forward to are Ghost Town, Eagle Eye, and Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. For one, the main actor in Ghost Town is great. I’m not partial to those kinds of movies, but this one seems interesting. It follows a man whom dies and comes back with the ability to see ghosts. It seems like a cute break from movies like The Dark Knight. Eagle Eye, however, looks like an edge of your seat roller coaster. It reminds me of the Matrix. The Nick and Norah one looks iffy. I’m not a fan of Indie films really. But one of my friends is really into it. Michael Cera is amazing, somehow. So I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt. So I’ll be back when those roll around with more rants and hopefully, good reviews.

The Blogger Speaks

So, I’m kinda down on movie news. No matter how often I bash the HP movies, it just won’t make them any better. I’ve been busy with school work and haven’t really  been near the theater lately. So, I’ll take a little break on movies while I sift through trailers of upcoming movies for a later post. Heres a little info me at the moment.

As you can tell, I’m opinionated. Not just with movies, but with almost everything. I’m becoming a take-charge kind of person. For instance, some exchange students are coming to my school and I’ve taken the liberty to talk with several teachers to make sure showing the students their classes and work is ok with them and such. I really hope it’ll run smoothly. I want to show these students a genuine American school and let them meet some of my incredible teachers that have changed my life. I’m also fighting the singles war. I became suddenly attached to someone recently, only to discover that I had no chance with them. And my ex isn’t exactly interested in me anymore. So I’m all like “blaaah…why couldn’t Han Solo be a real person..that’s the man for me”. Not much else is up with me. I won 3rd place in a fair’s art competition. Oh, I’m an artist if I haven’t mentioned that somewhere before. I’ve been doing a ton of art lately. Well, that’s really all I can’t think of. I hope to be back soon with movie talk. 🙂
