Movie Reviews
Superman
Let's get a few things straight. I really didn't care if I saw this on the IMAX or not. And since I did see it on IMAX, this movie had to blow me away just to justify the extra few bucks.
AND...the fact we stood in line for 2 frickin' hours on a Friday night.
I'm also not a huge Superman fan...i mean, i grew up with Christopher Reeve and all, but i was like 1 when the first movie came out.
Okay, onto the movie...
It blew me away. Heck, the opening credits (well, on a big screen IMAX anyway) is worth the cost of the movie ticket alone.
Brandon Routh is phenomenal. You can imagine him being emotionally vulnerable as Clark Kent with a comedic twist...and when he's Superman, he's effing hot as hell (they put blue contacts in during certain scenes). He is perfect for this role. Which means he better go find another movie asap so he's not typecast.
Kate Bosworth annoys me in general, and I didn't think I'd like her in this movie (WTF is up with her hair? And that high forehead?!)...but she did indeed do a good job as well. I didn't think I would believe her as a mature mother type, but she pulled it off.
Kevin SPacey...well, he's Kevin Spacey. I think he's great, but the whole time i looked at his bald head i kept thinking about Usual Suspects.
The real scene stealer is Parkey Posey...she deserves a gold medal for carrying this movie.
I NEVER buy movies on DVD...but this one i probably will.
Just Friends
Yeah I know, this has been out forever but I saw it on DVD last week so I figured i'd add to the commentary.
Ryan Reynolds is like the white Will Smith...he plays the same guy in every movie/tv show...but we LIKE that guy, so no one has any complaints.
Ryan Reynolds Rocks My World.
As does Anna Faris...has she ever done a bad movie?! All i gotta say is...she should get an Oscar for the toothpaste scene. I don't think i've laughed so hard in my life.
Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest
Listen, you can't go wrong with Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp is brilliant no matter what. I could watch a movie with Jack Sparrow eating McDonald's, he's THAT good.
That being said, this movie had alot to live up to...and it didn't go the distance.
First off, it's effing long. LONG. Like 3 hours of my life wasted long.
which wouldn't be so bad...if they didn't make it a "to be continued" type of movie. So you leave the theater with NO resolution. It was frustrating. I mean, you're better off just renting p2 before you go see p3 when that's released in the theaters. This is why movie producers shouldn't be allowed to make movies/sequels back-to-back...
As great as the special effects were, there was just too much of it.
AND...the old dude (aka "dead man who owns the chest in question") ripped his heart out and put it in the chest...who gives a crap? Why would you rip your heart out for a girl or the sea? And then bury it? And keep a key? Like wtf...if it's that important how about keeping the heart INSIDE YOU where it belongs? And they never explained why the entire crew of the Flying Dutchman was doomed to become coral/nature...
And I'm officially annoyed with Keira Knightley (sp?)...i loved her in Bend It Like Beckham and even Pride & Prejudice...but at this rate I just wanted to scream at her to get some orthodontic work done. Why do British people have such bad effing teeth?
Anyway, it's an okay movie...but I could have stood to rent it. I think most people i've spoken to agree that Superman was a MUCH better movie.
/end of movie reviews.
In other random babbling news....
1. David Spade and his Showbiz Show are officially the highlights of my weekend.
2. If Sonya the Black Widow can be the 3rd highest rated eater and she's 100lbs, effing right I can win one of the usual stupid bets i make with my coworkers.
3. In N Out from the truck is NOT the same as in the restaurant. It just isn't. It may still be tasty, but nowhere NEAR as tasty as from the chain.
4. Now i'm hungry.
5. Last night at the gym they had one of the TVs set to Telemundo...it was showing The River Wild (Kevin Bacon)...even in spanish that movie is FANTASTIC, and Meryl Streep is a rowing mofo....i really should buy it on DVD.
6. I absolutely can't STAND that stupid Rhianna song "Murderer"...it has NO rhythm, the lyrics are retarded (uhhh if you don't want to hurt your boyfriend...then stop boning another dude. wtf. or dump him. just shut your effing mouth), and she sounds like a dying goat the entire song. I like her fast stuff but dang, this girl can't sing to save her soul.
7. I'm addicted to this Albertsons Diet Orange 'naturally flavored soda' crap.
8. Why the eff am i so tired lately? I slept ALL sunday...and slept ALL last night...if that's beauty sleep, then i better start looking like miss effing america...
Okay, that's all kids :)

Ok Pirates, definitely a movie I'd like to get my money back. Maybe I should've watched the first one again before seeing this one. :P
Rhianna song... flavour of the week, the music industry pushing more of the usual, "let's make the same old crap sound new by bringing in some beats and styles from some other country." Sean Paul, way more talent even if I can't understand the lyrics half the time. :)
How about stop over sleeping hun. :) Sounds like a serious case the blahs. :P
Are you serious about Superman? It was like watching a piece of cardboard in blue tights and a cape. No emotion, no nothing. And the guy was borderline peeping Tom/ Child Molestor. They need to find a less plastic looking actual human being to play the part, and write a story about a Superman that isn't a complete cock.
