Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Great movie.

I watched The Thing (2011) pretty solid movie 8 out 10. Winstead reminded me of a young Sigourey Weaver kicking aliens' ass

I watched Date Night a few nights back. I thought it had its funny moments and Tina Fey and Steve Carrell had great chemistry. The film lagged at certain points, but otherwise it was an enjoyable movie. Not my favorite, but it was worth the watch.

I just finished watching Cries and Whispers. There was one scene that gave me the heebie jeebies but otherwise I couldn't stop looking at the screen. Beautifully made as usual, but this film was the least experimental out of all of Bergman's films which makes it easier to watch. Sometimes watching a Bergman film can be tedious and emotionally exhausting. While this film was an emotional roller coaster, it wasn't hard to watch.

Im a huge john carpenter fan and loved the Thing 1982. Hows does the suspense compare?

I heard that the new Thing is basically the John Carpenter Thing + Aliens - originality.

I saw quite a few films this weekend.

Bridesmaids - I think it's great that there's a movie out there where women are funny and raunchy without being sexualized or dumbed down. It's been a long time coming, and I think it stole some of the usual Apatow gang's thunder. It was well paced and very sweet at certain points. Jon Hamm plays a great douchebag and Melissa McCarthy is hilarious. I was always excited whenever she came onto the screen because I knew something funny was in store. Overall, I enjoyed the film.

Profondo Rosso (Deep Red) - My first Argento film, and I have to say I actually liked it. I remember crying when I heard a woman getting slashed to death in Tenebrae when I was fourteen years old. Seems as if I have grown up, matured and seen worse films since then. The murdering scenes didn't bother me so much. They were cringe-worthy though. Unfortunately I watched the edited down version made for America, so the editing was pretty bad which is something I can't blame Argento for. It was beautifully shot, too which I really wasn't expecting from a horror film, especially Argento. I can't say if this movie has turned me on to horror films, but I am interested in seeing more of Argento's work.

Uncertainty - I loved Joseph Gordon-Levitt in this but I felt as if the writers who made this movie were trying to come off as smart when it kind of fizzled out towards the end. There is a great, nerve wracking chase scene that happens, but when we get to the climax there is no climax. It's just blah. I wasn't fond of Lynn Collins in this role either. JGL definitely outshined her, instead of keeping it balanced performances. There was a lot of potential for this movie and it seemed as if the idea wasn't as fully developed as it should have been.

Kramer v. Kramer - I had to watch this for one of my cinema classes. Plot wise, not my cup of tea. The acting performances were amazing though. You really can't go wrong with Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman though. They always deliver amazing performances and it's always great to see these actors when they were young. Surprisingly this movie did not make me cry, so the description on Netflix lied to me.

I saw Paranormal Activity 3 and I was pretty bored = /
6/10
I think is time to stop already.

[blixa]

paranormal activity 2 - i thought it was kind of sucky.

passengers - it was okay. patrick wilson is va-va-voom.

the dead girl - loved it a lot. the performances were superb. i kind of liked that james franco was in it and it wasn't like, "oh, that's james franco". i still find him incredibly annoying though. i sympathised with most of the characters. toni collette was very good in this.

[bright lights, big city]

passengers - it was okay. patrick wilson is va-va-voom.

replace patrick wilson with anne hathaway and I felt the same about that.

[blixa]

i have no idea how i feel about anne hathaway.

[blixa]

i watched welcome last night. so restrained and so fucking beautiful.

[defskull]

I've seen some movies recently. They ranged from being good and bad. The end.

[theis]

50/50.

Amazing little flick. Loved, loved, loved it.

I'll come clean. I shed quite a few tears during it.

The scene where he says goodbye to his parents before he goes into surgery, made me weep like a girl.

[from_musings]

horrible bosses... i thought it was a little like hangover and office space, like a mix between them. the movie probably wouldn't exist without them. although i really loved hangover and office space, horrible bosses is just shit. jokes are real boring and when you absolutley loved the characters in hangover and office space, you don't care at all about these idiots on screen, trying to be funny and over the top. whiny guy with annoying voice is suppose to be alan i guess, and obviously you have this player/womaniser that's suppose to be phil and the normal guy that's stu.
all i see is actors playing a role that's meant to be funny more than that they're lovable in any way

2/10

[BillyNo.9]

 Twilight 5 or whatever the fuck its at now. 2/10 for actually making a functioning cinematic film and being able to market it to a specific audience. The screening room was so fucking hot, when usually it's freezing cold. I guess the build up of tickly ginies created some sort of fucking genital radiation or some shit. Either way, film sucked and I did not get head.

I saw it twice and cried both times. I also got a little teary eyed when Adam has his mental breakdown.

I actually thought this movie was actually rather funny, and I liked the characters especially Charlie Day's character. I wouldn't go on to say it's the most original movie of the bunch, but I think it stands well on its own.

Either way, film sucked and I did not get head.

That's unfortunate. You should have gotten head as a down payment, then sex for sitting through and watching it.

I def shed more than a few especially since something similar happened to me. The fears are very real.
