Wife and I just saw shooter.
It was pretty good, mark whalberg is pretty cool. And best of all it was a movie without sex. Although they replaced the time that could have used for romance with more shooting. Oh and explosions, i love a good explosion.
5/7
Tonight we say ‘hot Fuzz’
Having seen and quite enjoyed ‘Shawn of the dead’ I kind of new what to expect, over the top scenes involving gore and blood.
It had them mixed with some black comedy and even a bit of slpastick.
It got better as it went along i feel, the first half was a bit full but once people started dying it got more interesting.
I’ll give it 4 / 7
just saw ‘Wild hogs’ with wife.
It was one of those predictable happy ending slap stick kind of movies. the sort of movie you know isnt going to be amazing but you know it will make you laugh a bit and entertain you for a bit over an hour.
You could see a lot of the gags coming a mile off, others a little more sneaky. The plot was pretty thin and after the main dudes got into some trouble the happy engind was pretty lame.
but having said all that i had a good time watching it, ir really was just a bit of harmless hollywood fun.
4 / 7
I saw ‘the good shepherd’ on tuesday ani forgot to blog about it.
Well it was damn long, bit over two and a half hours. It was good i enjoyed it, but at the same time i found it quite confusing, it jumped around a bit but also i dont know much at all about american political history so it was a bit confusing.
I’ll give it 4 / 7
then tonight was
‘man of the year’
I really enjoyed this film, it was funny, sometimes robin williams is a bit much, he has what i like to call the “jim carey, jack black sydrome’
sometimes hes too over the top that it becomes painful, but not in this move, he was really good. and the good thing is that the trailer didnt really ginve the plot away.
I’m gonna give it 5 / 7
I just saw ‘Miss Potter’.
I give it the massive 2 / 7 and it only gets 2 because i gave it a bonus point for being free (jenny’s grandma paid for us to go see it)
Just watched ‘kenny’
My goodness me that is a fantastic film, Oh deary me it made me laugh.
Who would have thought that 2 hours of poo jokes would work wonders in the film world.
think i might have to buy it on dvd, i could watch it again right away.
Today the wife and I went and had lunch at pie in the sky followed by a movie at Greater Union Hornsby.
We saw ‘Pursuit of Happiness’
It felt really long, some bits quite dull and really not needed. The characters where going through a tedious bad time so maybe the director wanted to audience to feel just as bad. It was not too bad a film just incredibly slow.
Will Smith is pretty cool.
I’ll give it 4/7
Now in some more exciting news.
I refuse to sit in my allocated seat at the cinema casue i think its stupid and I can say that i have never sat in my allocated seat.
Today was no different, we sat about 5 rows in front of where we were supposed to be, as it got closer to the film starting the cinema was getting quite full and the result was that about 30 ended up not sitting in their correct seats becasue of myself and jenny.
And none of them seemed to care it was a beautiful piece of “Up Ya, Greater Union”
Myself, Jenny, Tom, Matin, Anmol, Debbie and Lezalee just went and saw ‘flushed away’. It was a mildy entertaining film, some funny bits but overall not fantastic. I think wallace and gromit creator man has sold out to america.
4/7
after the film we headed to Asquith KFC for the traditional new years day kfc meal, the theory behind it being that if you eat KFC on the first day of the year then food can only get better throughout the year.
My stomach feels like the SS KFC has sailed through, hit a gland or something and now there has been a giant oil spill in my bowels.
The goal, see 52 films in a calendar year.
The result, A giant FAIL!
Only 13 films for 2006, ouch!
The Family Stone
Good Night and Good Luck
The Producers
Munich
Syriana
Jarhead
The Aristocrats
Inside Man
Cars
Click
Boytown
Casino Royale
Happy Feet
Today Jenny, mum and Dad and myself all went down to the Armidale belgrave cinema to watch Happy Feet.
It was a good movie, and cool that it was made by animal logic an animation company in sydney.
It made me laugh, it was sad overall quite good, althoyugh there where a few flat spots and some gaps in the story.
4 / 7
Last night I went with several peoples to watch Casino Royale, I have been looking forward to this film for some time now, I love a good bond film. I know that many people think he’s sleezy and the films are just full of sex and guns.
Well bond is so much more than that, hes smooth and smart, he gets to play with cool gadgets and go on secret missions in excotic places, defeating evil and making the world a safe place, He is a superhere but instead of tight brightly coloured costuimes he is a super here in a tux.
Casino Royale was a good adition to the bond institution, much better than di another day with its stupid invisible car. Daniel Craig makes an awsome bond i look forward to more bonds with him. This film did howevber seem to have a lot less action that previous bond films, no dramtic car chases with bond shooting missiles from his dashboard or anything, no litte gadgets in his pocket turning his watch into a detinator or anything. So on that front it was a little dissapointing there wasnt even any Q, bond didnt get to given his gadgets before he embarkes on his mission.
There was however a crazy ugandan man he did some kick but moves on top of a crane with bond.
I give this bond a 5/7
go see it, enjoy it, then buy it on dvd!
I havent seen a film at the cinema since the 8th of July and that film was click.
Today i broke the drought!
It was a good film to break the drought with, very funny. Australian comedies especially those made in melboure always have hte same actor ‘ comedians in them, even extra played by their comedy buddies. there is something nice about it.
Boytown was very good, the song lyrics where probably the main thing that made the film funny. I reccomend it and i gve it 5.5 / 7
I havent seen a movie in ages. And what a good film to break the drought with. Pixar make good movies. This movie was really fun, it made me laugh and if i was an absolute pansy it would have made me cry too. The cars are so fun, my favourite is the little forklift and the mack truck.
I give it the 5.5 / 7
Tonight joshy and i went to see inside man.
Josh called me and said lets book our tickets online, so i opened up my browser and went in to book 2 tickets. i picked the movie and the session time. Then it took me to the seating chart and i had to pick the seats i wanted. I clicked on any old seats becasue it wasnt like i was going to sit in my allocated seat.
THen once i had clicked on the seats i tried to proceed to the checkout. But it wouldnt let me. it said.
“Unfortunately we are unable to confirm seats to this session due to a communication issue with the cinema (Too close to start of session for booking). We apologise for the inconvenience and ask that you please try again later.”
now that in itself is a stupid message, in the nmiddle of the message it says that it is too close to the start of the session time for my booking, then the following sentace tells me to try again later. How can i try again later if already it is too close, its only going to get closer to the session time if i try later!
anyway just bought our tickets when we got there, and forgot to sit in our allocated seats.
the film itself was pretty good, i dont really go for Denzel films but this was a goodie. The trailer for this film kind of gave away too much thought so it wasnt as exciting as it could have been.
I’ll give it 5 / 7
Yesterday Jenny and i saw Jarhead
I was expecting it to be a lot like three kings, from seeing the trailer in the last month or so it looked like it was going to be a really good movie. I really like three kings.
It turned out not to be all that comparable to three kings, but it stood up by itself and was a good movie. I think the main guy in it was also in tigerland, another awesome war film.
War is a bit of a stupid thing.
I dont think it can give this move as high marks as i gave syriana but i can give it 5 / 7
Last night josh and i saw Syriana
It was a really good movie. George clooney really does make good films. At times there was a lot of deep intellectual conversations going on that i couldnt keep up with and there where so many different stories happening at once. It was quite itense. Its another one of these films that has come out recently that really doesnt make America look all that good or nice. And unfortunatly i think it shows a lot of truth about the super power.
The film is based around the oil industry, big american corporations trying to get all the oil in the middle east but we get to see the story from many different angles.
i’m gonna give it 6 /7
Jenny and Isaw this movie tonight.
It was strange watching a film in black and white, i changed the cinema experience and it also wasnt in surround sound whihc also made it a bit strange. But it was a good strange.
I think george clooney is a clever man and i have loved him ever since 3 kings.
This movie isnt something you would go out and see for a laugh or to just relax in front of some mindless chick flick.
I struggled in some parts to understand what it was that was going on, and other times i was enthrawled.
Man they smoke so much in the 50’s.
I’ll give it 5 / 7
well day 3 of being sick is almost done.
I have felt a bit better today only had to sit down a couple of times on the toilet.
But still rather weak,
jenny came and recued me and took me to her house for the afternoon, we sat around and watched a dvd then sat around some more and i had a peace of plain toast. It seems so far that his stayed in my body.
Seeing as my bowels seems to have ceased passing loose and unformed movements we decided to go see a movie.
The Producers.
I quite enjoyed this film, that enjoyment was probably partly due to the fact that i was out of the house and that my bowel wasnt moving. But aslo due to the fact it was a fun film in parts. Not the whole way through but in parts. I like a film taht has a bit of song and dance, just some of the songs went on a bit long and some of the scenes and conversations carried on way past their entertainment point.
It made me laugh, it made me bored.
I give it 4.5 / 7
and ooops we seemed to forget that we had allocated seating.
now i am at home eating some plain rice and sipping water, there is a bit of a pain in my bowel region but hopefuly its just hungry or someting.
