Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter: This is something I really dont care to much about. I mean if someone had this movie and said it was good....... then I would probably watch it, but till then I think I will pass.
Quantum of Solace: I am for sure picking this up on Blu-Ray! I think I may just go right now and get it.....

Movie Review: Milk

Using flashbacks from a statement recorded late in life and archival footage for atmosphere, this film traces Harvey Milk's career from his 40th birthday to his death. He leaves the closet and New York, opens a camera shop that becomes the salon for San Francisco's growing gay community, and organizes gays' purchasing power to build political alliances. He runs for office with lover Scott Smith as his campaign manager. Victory finally comes on the same day Dan White wins in the city's conservative district. The rest of the film sketches Milk's relationship with White and the 1978 fight against a statewide initiative to bar gays and their supporters from public school jobs
This is the movie I feel should have won the Best Picture. Everything about this movie was perfect I mean 10/10 perfect. From acting to the screenplay to the music to the cinematography, I mean everything was right on! I am so thankfull that Sean Penn won the award for Best Actor (unlike that stupid Penelope Cruz BS award). Let me also just say this is one of the few movies in awhile I couldnt NOT leave it.... I mean I dont think I went to the bathroom, got a glass of water or even took my eyes off the screen, it was that good! I could rant on and on or I can do what I think would be best and just tell you to go see it! HIGHY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Movie Review: Let the Right One In

Oskar, a bullied 12-year old, dreams of revenge. He falls in love with Eli, a peculiar girl. She can't stand the sun or food and to come into a room she needs to be invited. Eli gives Oskar the strength to hit back, but when he realizes that Eli needs to drink other people's blood to live he's faced with a choice. How much can love forgive?
This is one of those movies that when it was over I really wanted to watch it again. Not to say that in a good or bad way, but just because its a thinking persons movie. First off this is a "first-time" love story between two 12 year olds that just so happens one is a vampire. The thing I wanna make sure people realize is this is a gory and gruesome movie (a hard R rating), but then again its a vampire movie. So dont let the love story keep away the fact that its a horror movie. The 2 main actors in this movie have GREAT chemistry amd they both did amazing jobs. The boy who played Oskcar was the perfect outsider who wanted a friend or love so bad that her being a blood drinker would bother him. The only bad part about this movie is it feels like a 4 hour movie, the pace is slow, theres not a lot of dialoge in the beginning, and nothing really happens in the first hour or so. As the movie progresses everything in the movie also progresses untill the ending that was so perfect, for a not so perfect film. Even with its faults I feel this will be a cult classic in the years to come (and an already scheduled american remake in 2010). Recommended!

Movie Review: Changeling

Inspired by actual events that occurred in 1920s-era Los Angeles, Clint Eastwood's "Changeling" tells the story of a woman driven to confront a corrupted LAPD after her abducted son is retrieved and she begins to suspect that the boy returned to her is not the same boy she gave birth to.
I cannot tell you how happy I was that I FINALY got to watch a great movie. After 4 horrible movie I wish I could forget......this drops in my lap. Lets start by what was good about it. Angelina Jolie definitly stole the show, I was expecting her to be kinda full of herself like she is in other movies (Wanted). But she came out and did a preformance I believe should have won the oscar, and she did it with love for the role. You could tell that she wanted to do it right and by god she did! Clint Eastwood is a great director and I feel this was his masterpiece. The settings, the sets, colors, acting, shots etc. Were all perfectly done to make this amazing movie. This is definitley Highly Recommended!
Tuesday New Releases:
Milk: I am very excited to see this! I think this movie is gonna be great and I will let you guys know as soon as I watch it (Im finnishing Australia tonight)

Role Models: One of the few movies I had seen in the theater and wanted to see it again right after. Its a raunchy style comedy with a lot of heart. Definatly a buy!
Rachel Getting Married: You know Im not TOO big of a fan of Anne Hathaway! But I did hear that this was a good movie because she was doing something diffrent. I may rent this if there is nothing to watch......
Transporter 3: The first was good, the second was more of the first, and now the third? I think I will skip this one!

Movie Review: Vicky Christina Barcelona

Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) go to Barcelona for the summer and things get complicated when they meet a charming, mysterious, and rich painter (Javier Bardem) and he makes a rather upfront proposition to both of them. All the while after a failed suicide attempt Juan (Javier Bardem)'s wife (Penelope Cruz) comes to live with him to complicate matters.
Im not gonna lie I really dont like Woody Allen movies! I do feel however that this is the most accesible movie of his, but that still doesnt change the fact that it was horrible. First the bad things: the narrator was horrible and really didnt add anything to the story (ok I get it she rub'd her foot against him! I didnt need to have that explained to me!!), the music in this movie was the most annoying song (yes pretty much the same song the whole movie) I have ever heard. Now the good thing about this movie was the acting was top notch! I really enjoy'd everyone!...............except.........Penelope Cruz!!! I though she was absolutley HORRIBLE in this movie and she won an Oscar for her preformance. Let me tell you how stupid the Academy awards are....... Pelelope Cruz gets an oscar for this movie........which she sucked in...... and was only in the movie 28 minutes of a hour and a half movie...... make sense? Not recommended!!
Is there any movie coming out thats good!!! This is the 4th movie I watch I wouldnt recommend!!

Tuesday New Releases:
Australia: I was thinking about buying this on Blu-Ray for maybe a date night this weekend but I heard that it was visually stunning but very boring (its 3 hrs long). I also heard that Nicole Kidman in a interview said she was so dissapointed in the movie she didnt even want her name attached to it........ so I think this may be a rent.
Watchmen: Complete Motion Comic: This is for more of the "Die-hard" fans of the comic. Its a 5 hour animated comic strip movie of the Watchmen, now I dont mean its like a cartoon but more of a slide to slide (with little to no animation) naration of the comic. I think I would rather just read it then this!
And thats it! Another dull week in movies unless your really ballsy and wanna rent AND watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua!!
