Two tonite, sista!

I got two movies tonight.  One was requested and the other I saw.  I’ll begin with the one I saw.

Blades of Glory:

It just came out on Friday, I saw it last night for my birthday.  It’s the last in the trilogy from Will Ferrell.  The first two movies were Anchorman and Talladega Nights.  This movie is about 2 pro men’s figure skaters.  They get banned from their division for life for fighting.  So to get their gold medal back, they have to skate in pairs – with each other.  The other man is John Heder (Napoleon Dynomite).  Since it’s new I won’t spoil nothin’.  But it was sooo funny.  I loved it.  To make it better, Nick Swardson (comedian, Terry from Reno 911) was in it.  He played a stalker.  But yeah, Will Ferrell has done it again.  He makes wonderful movies.  I don’t care if you may think that they’re stupid, because I don’t.  I happy he did these movies and I think you should see them.  Oh yeah, Amy Poehler and her husband are in it.  They play a brother and sister pair skating group who hate Will and John.  Silliness endures.  Wonderful!!

Girl, Interrupted.

I was given this request as a punishment for saying that I don’t like Winona Ryder, which I don’t.  Anyways.  This isn’t a favorite of mine, but it was good.  Angelina Jolie was a biotch, but great!  It’s about a girl who is committed to a mental hospital.  She meets all these other crazies and becomes friends with them, sorta.  Angelina always escapes and then comes back.  The one person I was confused about was Brittany Murphy.  She had some eating disorder with chickens.  I don’t know, it was weird.  She wouldn’t let anyone in her room.  Then she gets released, and Angelina ruins her life and I won’t spoil.  Whoopie Goldberg was in it, and who doesn’t like Whoopie?  If you want to see an intellectual movie, then you should rent this movie.  It’s not “stupid” like Blades, but it’s not as funny either.

More movies, plez


Beetlegeise, Beetlegeise, Beetle- SHHHH!

Is it that obvious what movie I am going to review?  Because if you don’t know then you’re just stupid.  Yes, I am reviewing Beetlejuice.  But you really spell it with “geise.”  I don’t know why.  Anyways, let’s get on with it.

First off, I love that Michael Keaton was Mr. Juice.  He was fab.  A very young, very skinny Alec Baldwin was in it.  Geena Davis as well, but she’s always skinny.  Winona Ryder played Lydia.  I don’t like Winona, her face and voice gives me bad vibes for some odd reason.  I love this movie all around, so there isn’t a favorite spot.  I do like it when Alec and Geena have to go to the underworld for some counseling.  Death is just a waiting room and some offices.  I thought that was funny.  There was a charred body who asks Geena, I believe, if she wants to smoke, and she says no, and the guy is like, I’m trying to quit myself.  That was silly.  Back to the main attraction, the Juice-man.  He was hilarious and gross and I loved it.  Do you remember the Beetlejuice cartoon?  I totally do.  It was awesome.  The sandworms and everythang.   I drawing a blank on what else to say.

I’m sorry for the shortness.  But please request!!

I’m going to be honest. I got a request for The Goonies, and I’ve never seen the entire movie. I know, I’m bad. But everytime I try to watch it, it doesn’t stick with me.

When I was younger I was afraid of Sloth, the weird looking guy who liked babyruths. And that definitely turned me off for a while.  I sort of like Data, he was interesting. The kid who played Data played Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Cool. And Corey Feldmen, well, he’s just corey. Chunk was annoying as all hell.  And really all I remember from the movie is that, they have to movie from the Goondocks, some robbers are chasing them, and there is a Pirate Ship in a cave.

I want to apologize to Dave M. because he is in love with the Goonies and I probably have disappointed him.  Sorry to everyone else for having such a short blog.

GIVE ME MORE MOVIES!

A Spanish Fantasy

On Saturday I went to the movies with my cousins. We saw Pan’s Labyrinth. It got some Oscars so we figured we’d give it a go.

First off, I liked it. However, it was a little creepy and a little gory. You know how I hate gore, so I looked away at those parts. But it’s set in 1944 Spain. A little girl, Ofelia, and her mother are moving to the country to be with her mother’s new husband, the Captain. Her mother is pregnant with el Capitan’s son, and she is sick from it. On the way to the country, Ofelia, who likes to read, sees a fairy. When they get to the country-house, an old mill, Ofelia explores and finds a rundown labyrinth. The fairy visits her again and brings her to the labyrinth and into a hole where she meets a faun (not a deer). It tells her that she is a princess of his world and that in order to become immortal and live with her real father again, she must do 3 tasks. Meanwhile, the captain is a real douche bag and he’s trying to fight off guerillas in the woods. I won’t say anymore, because you need to see it. I would see it again, it was really good. I’m glad I went. Oh yeah, we went to Sayville movie theater to see it. General admission there is $7! And matinee is $5. It’s probably the cheapest theatre on eart, so go there if you want to see a movie. It only has 3 theaters, though.

Next:

I was asked what my favorite Star Wars movie was. Well, I like all 3 movies from the old trilogy. But out of those, my favorite is Return of the Jedi. It has Jabba the Hutt, and his creatures, and Ewoks gallore. It’s a very climatic episode and it’s fun to watch. Empire Strikes Back is good, it’s dark though. And in A New Hope, the characters are just developing. And I wasn’t a big fan of the newer movies. Episode 3 was okay, but it will never beat out the old ones.


I Want You to Hit Me as Hard as You Can

Yes, folks, I am reviewing Fight Club, starring the sexalicious Brad Pitt, and basically awesome Edward Norton.

This is a long movie, but it’s definitely worth seeing. It’s about a man, Ed Norton, who hates his 9-5 job, loves his apartment, and is basically going insane. He takes this trip and on his flight, he is sitting next to Brad Pitt, who is a soap salesman. They become friends. Norton returns home only to find that his apartment was blown up. He’s upset, but not really. He calls Pitt so he has somewhere to stay. Pitt’s house is this rundown P.O.S. They go out drinking one night and Pitt asks Norton to hit him. They end up fighting, and find out that it’s exhilarating. They make a secret club and suddenly, all these men start joining. And it’s people you’d never expect. These fight clubs start popping up all over the place. Soon it becomes more than just a club, it turns into a group of rebels, I guess. Pitt gives them “homework” assignments to do. All hell breaks loose. And the ending, well, if you haven’t seen it, you must. The ending is a huge twist. It’s good. Meatloaf is in it. He has boobs. It’s weird. Anyways, I highly recommend that you see this movie, it’s sooo good. I love it. There is blood and a teeny weeny bit of gore, but it’s just an awesome movie. You need to see it, and you’ll want to watch it again.

I would have done This is Spinal Tap, but I haven’t seen it in a while, and I need a refresher because I only remember a few spots.


Not Sure if I Reviewed this movie yet

I am going to review Accepted. I watched it last night at my friend’s house. I saw it before, and I thought I may have blagged it afterwards, but I’m not sure. Sorry if this is the second time I’m doing this movie.

Okay, so this movie can never happen in real life, but it would be great if it did. This movie is about a high school senior, played by Justin Long, who got rejected from all of the 8 colleges he applied to. His parents are extremely dissapointed of him, so he makes up this fake school that he got accepted to. It’s called South Harmon Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.). He tells his friends, and one of them asks to get an acceptance letter, too. He makes his other friend make a website for the school. His parents really believe him. They then can’t wait to drop him off on move-in day. Uh-oh, no actual physical building. So Justin, and his friends find an abandoned psychiatric hospital and fix it up. “Move-in” arrives, and his parents believe him. So now, he’s free for the year. Right? Wrong. Other people got accepted, too, because on the website, there is a link that says “Acceptance is just 1 click away.” So now, they actually have to have a real school. They start this thing where everyone writes on a board what they want to learn, and they do it. However, the real school, up the hill, Harmon University, wants to buy the land so they can build a gateway. Everything goes to shit, and Justin and his friends are found out, and well, I won’t tell you anymore. It’s a funny movie. I enjoy watching it. I think Justin Long is good-looking, and others back me up on that. Go rent it, it’s good.

MORE FUCKING MOVIES, PLEASE, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!


Far-out

I’m so so sorry for the long waits in between each post. I’m sure no one cares anyways. The reasoning behind it is is that I wait for someone to select a movie. I love Amanda B. for choosing most of the movies I do, Amanda F. puts in her 2 cents once in a while, as well, but I cannot stress enough how much it would mean to me if other people would start sending me movies. Amanda tells me how hard it is to think of a movie. I mean, c’mon people, she can’t do this by herself. Just please, if you read this blog, comment and suggest a movie. I don’t care if I have no clue who the HELL you are, just suggest a movie  (no porns, please), and don’t be creepy.  Now on to the movie.

Remember the show, The Brady Bunch? It was on in the 70s, and they show re-runs now. Well, in the 90s, someone came up with this idea to make fun of the Brady Bunch by making The Brady Bunch Movie. By the way, there’s also a second one, A Very Brady Sequal. But I’m not reviewing that one. But yeah, this movie is very funny. It spoofs on how the Brady’s were this goody-two-shoes family. Ben Stiller’s wife plays Marsha, and if you’ve seen Talladega Nights, Ricky Bobby’s father plays Mr. Brady. Those are the only 2 famous comedians I know in it. Also Michael McKean is in it, he plays their evil neighbor. Anyways, the movie is set in the 90s, but the Brady’s are still living the way anyone would have in the 70s. They listen to The Monkees, they all say “groovy” and “far-out” and things like that, their clothes are very 1974. Everyone thinks they’re crazy because the way they act and look. The plot of the movie is that the Brady’s have to pay $20,000 in taxes or else their house will be auctioned off. Mr. Brady, an architect, can get the money only if he sells one of his designs, which all look like his house. The kids try to help out, too. Meanwhile, they all have different problems to deal with. Marsha wants Davey Jones to come to her school dance, Jan wants to be better than Marsha, Peter is going through puberty, and Greg wants some chicks. It’s silly and I enjoy it fully. I watched it yesterday on TV. If you liked the Brady Bunch, you should see it. Even if you don’t, watch it.

PLEASE GIVE ME SOME GOD DAMN MOVIES!

I’m excited that this movie was requested!

So back in the 60s and 70s, there was this man who made a comedy group in Britain.  His name is Terry Jones and the group is none other than Monty Python (an anagram for his name).  They did a show called Monty Python’s Flying Circus.  Great sketch show, hilarious.  Catch it on PBS sometimes.  They also did some movies.  One big hit amongst audiences is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  It’s Python’s take on the King Arthur legend and his round table of k-niggets – knights, that is.  Anyways, it’s a big spoof, and it has some great lines in it, I’m sure you can hear almost anyone sport a line or two from the movie.  It’s about King Arthur who is trying to find some knights for his round table.  He finds Sir Bedavere, Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, Sir Robin, and Sir Not-Appearing-in-this-film.  He is accompanied by his faithful servant, Patsy.  On their way of galavanting around, pretending to ride horses, but their servants are really banging to halves of an empty coconut together, God stops them and tells them to search for the Holy Grail.  So they all go their separate ways getting into all sorts of silliness.  They all finally meet up again to meet with Tim the Enchanter who tells them where the Grail is located.  However, they don’t find it.  I won’t spoil what happens.  But really, you need to go see this movie.  See any Python movie.  Watch the show.  It’s pure comedic genius.

QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!

You don’t have to be a fan of hockey to like this movie.

Mighty Ducks, and not the cartoon and not the actual hockey team.  What an excellent movie.  I mean, yeah, it is cheesy if you watch it now, but when you were younger, it was awesome.  It was pre-pubescent/pre-Dawson’s Creek Joshua Jackson.  And it also had Emilio Estevez in it.  Love him!  So if you don’t know this movie, it’s about Emilio Estevez, who is a lawyer.  He got arrested for  DUI and is sentenced to community service in the way of coaching a peewee hockey league.  By-the-way, Emilio’s character used to be a really good hockey player, but didn’t make the pros because of a bad knee.  Anyways, he is NOT happy about this assignment and he hates the kids and they hate him.  The team sucks completely, and Emilio just gives up with even trying to help them and tells them to cheat their way through losing their games.  Parents get frustrated and so do kids.  Finally, it all gets turned around when Emilio visits his old pal Hans who owns the local hockey shop.  Soon the team gets better! What a surprise.  Yeah, so basically it’s a cool movie and I enjoy the early 90s quality to it.  I expect you to see it if you have not.  There is also a MD2 and MD3!  Woah! I know, it’s overwhelming. But let me tell you that the same actors play their roles in all 3 movies.  So I love this movie.
