Random Movie Reviews

[jukeboxhound_backup]

I have nothing else to do right now.  Some family's over, and I don't particularly social right now.

So, I saw the movie "American Psycho" today, with Christian Bale (sp?).  You know, the guy that plays the new Batman?  Heh, it's funny seeing Bruce Wayne act like Joker, totally screwing (literally) with this one whore and killing her by dropping a chainsaw in her back.  Or slaughtering his colleague by saying, "Hey, Paul!" and when the guy turns around taking out his face with an axe.  With Phil Collins playing in the background.  Though I didn't like it when he killed a homeless man and then the man's dog.  That pissed me off.  But the rest is kinda funny; it reminded me a lot of "Fight Club", but not so great.

By the way, I despise Brad Pitt, but "Fight Club" was fucking awesome.

The older horror movie, "Session 9", is reeeeeaaally bad. A contruction crew is renovating an abandoned asylum, and one of them starts going insane after he finds a box containing the tapes of a previous patient's sessions, and starts killing people off.  Death by lobotomy and all that.  The only cool part is the very last part, when you finally hear the tape of the ninth session with this little girl with MPD (DID), and Simon comes out to play.  *laughs hysterically*

"The Eighteenth Angel"--basically, this order of monks is trying to find the eighteen earthly angels (6+6+6=18), because the eighteenth one will become the new host for the Antichrist.  They take the beautiful angel teens/children and steal their faces.  o.0  And they kinda succeed, and the ending's kinda cool even if the movie was kinda boring, and I would so see the sequel.

The newest Exorcist was undoubtedly one of the worst movies ever created.  Don't ever see it.  Ever.  For any reason.

"Constantine" with Keanu Reeves--the angel Gabriel is trying to resurrect the Antichrist, Mammon, on earth so that mankind will suffer and therefore be worthy of God's forgiveness.  Interesting plot, but one thing is wrong--Mammon was one of the Nephilim (the Fallen), NOT the Antichrist.  That's Belial.  Mammon wanted Lucifer to build a Dark Empire in Hell to rival Heaven, while Belial--cool, silver-tongued, and the second most beautiful next to Satan himself--wanted them to apologize so they could go back to Paradise and tempt mankind from there.  God, Hollywood, get it right!  ^_^  And why Gabriel?  The angel of announcements?  I mean, yeah, I always saw him as kinda cruel, but to go that far...and Keanu Reeves is a horrible actor no matter what role he's in.  The guy that played Lucifer, however, for all of fifteen minutes--now he was fucking creepy.  Overall, it was okay.  I didn't regret paying for it, at least, like I did with "Dark Water".  I never read the Hellraiser comics, though, so I couldn't give commentary from that particular angle.

Aaaaaand...that's it for now.  I'm gonna go eat.  *sighs*

Eep! Happy Friday! =DD How's life going for you? ..<.< I'm painting you a picture, with water-colours. x.o' It's SOOO awesome. Well. Not really, but I like to think so. Tis more fun that way.
I've just been lazing around the house, if you care to know. My brother is opening an icecream shop. In a few hours I'm going to be taking my neice to the Rotary Fest (umm..apparently theres rides.and.. stuff.)
So, seen any good movies lately? Been bored out of your mind, or having a blast with your friends? Get any time to read? Have you gone to the beach? Any shark-attacks lately?.. Do they net off a space at the beach? Is the weather cold? And most importantly, how are you?

Well, I saw Charlie and the CHocolate factory, and I loved it! But I'm probably kind of biased. <.< Do you like Johnny Depp?
Today was so hot and dry. And tomorrow I get to get my copy of HBP. And theres a parade. And pony rides. Tres exciting. Kind of.
Well. Just wanted to say hi. Hope you're healthy and happy. Remember to treat yourself to something you enjoy!

Hmm, thanks. Life's fine, just...mundane. ^_^ A picture? *blushes* Thanks. *looks guilty because she hasn't finished Sarah's* Do you have a scanner? Or did you say that a friend of yours does? *can't wait to see*
That's cool, that your brother's doing that. I always wanted to open a book shop, because we don't have any in my town. You have to drive further to get to them. Rotary Fest? o.0 Umm, is that like a mechanic's fair?
Only "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". And yes, I love Johnny Depp (but not just because he's sinfully handsome). He's one of the most versatile actors I have ever seen, with one of the widest ranges of roles and movie genres, and it takes real talent to portray the emotions and distinct characteristics that he does.
I went to the beach today. I sunburned AGAIN. *sighs* You'd think I'd learn by now that Irish-white skin burns very, very quickly, but nooooooo...
Yeah, I finished...did you? Because I don't want to start ranting and give away any spoilers...

Yeah. I finished. I'm.. Very.. I don't know what to think (about HBP).
And yeah, a friend has one, not me. Eep! I'm excited for him. Opens todaaayyy.
Rotary fest is like..just.. Umm. People come from out of town, and umm... cell stuff. and theres a car show. and lots of stuff for little kids.
Yeah. Johnny's a brilliant actor. And I like how he doesn't take a role for money but rather "oh gee! THat looks like it'd be fun to act" and yeaahh..
So. Did you have fun at the beach? Besides getting burned? I havn't been in a while.
Have you seen Hide and Seek? If so, like it?
