Surf's up review

I really liked Surf's up. It was a really cute movie. Most of the funny parts were already shown in the previews but the movie had a certain charm to it, a certain poignancy that made me smile as I watched. It wasn't a blockbuster like Shrek was but it was good. The voices totally matched the characters, I loved the visuals and the story line (cuz I'm a sucker for happy ending movies), and I just generally liked the whole big screen movie experience. So I would recommend this movie for families to go see because I think its something that mom, dad, sis, bro would all have fun watching.

Evan almighty

Well, I want to watch this movie. But not because it looks really really funny, but because I want to know what possible reason they came up with to explain why God would want to flood the world. I mean, I'm not some hardcore religious person but I'm pretty sure that the first flood wasn't some picnic where you drink lemonade with monkeys. Wasn't it like punishment because humanity was sinning or bad or whatever? Don't bash on my religious ignorance, I believe in God and that's all anyone needs to know. Beyond the fact that animals are following the main character (I wonder how much they'll play that up?) God makes Evan lose his job and question his sanity. And sure I'll laugh at that but in reality... thats kind of messed up. lol. Anyway, it looks like a hilarious movie, I just wonder if the underlying message is that the world needs to change its ways?

Cool youtube thingy

Okay, I didn't even notice this but now I must shout it to the world! .... The youtube thingies have the cool scrolly bar now! It's so cute, and... well cute! Its also very convenient because when I look at clips I like to see everything related to it. It's very... ipodesh, lol. I'm just thinking of the ipod smartphone or the microsoft surface when I see the scrolling style. Newayz just had to post that its cool looking even though I haven't test driven them yet.

Surf's up vs. Hostel part deux

Well, surf's up and hostel two open this friday. Which one will I watch? Surf's up no doubt. Why? I still get queasy just remembering what Hostel one showed me. No doubt Hostel was a completely creepy movie that scared the crap out of me but the gore.... THE GORE!!!! It was just too much. So, yes, I'm a wimp/chicken/watever unsavory names you can think up, but honestly I'm thinking Surf's up might be fun. And maybe I'll watch Hostel part deux on DVD so I can fast forward at the 'I think I'm going to throw up this very second but I'm still going to race for the toilet' parts.

The abandoned

Well... hmmm. What can I say about this movie? Well, first off the background. This movie is about a movie producer/director (watever) that goes to Russia to find out information on her birth parents (she's adopted if you didn't get that yet) and finds out that there's a creepy house that has been left to her on an island surrounded by water. First mistake, she goes to the hella creepy house. And then more creepiness ensues. Shes basically stuck on the island (one of those 'your running in circles stupid' things) there's creepy figures in the house, etc etc. This is one of those tension thriller/horror movies and while it doesn't have alot of gore until the ending... well there's some gore but not OMG THATS SO NASTY I HAVE TO COVER MY EYES gore or... -_- you be the judge ... just trying to figure out what the hell is going on might make you keep watching. I don't want to ruin it for the people who are intrigued by my description (yeah right, like my description is really THAT captivating...) but it isn't a normal haunted house type storyline and the ending might surprise you. Hell, I'm still trying to figure out what the hell happened, I mean I have a vague idea but... yeah. So, I give it a 3 and a half I guess and recommend watching it... kinda. But hey, maybe you'll love it?

Here's a picture of the movie...

Knocked up movie

Okay, so... I got to watch knocked up and it was hella funny. The one problem, i'm probably the only one that has this problem, is that I'm horrible with names or... well yeah names in general. And I don't really keep up with movies/stars/watever until recently. So i'm probably really really stupid for saying this but some of their jokes went way over my head. The movie was funny without knowing who the hell they were talking about because there's parts of just laughing out loud before you realize your laughing. I'm the type of person though, that never knows names. I always address the actors by watever part they've played. Like, "oh, thats spiderman/batman/buffy/that fighting dude/etc." So when they were all "that's like 'so and so' doing 'this and that'" I was all... what? But besides that I definitely recommend this movie for maximum funniness. Even though its a romantic comedy there is definitely more comedy (i think) than romance. Warning though, they show some of the birth scene which was a real surprise. It was all 'she's having a baby' to BAM why am I looking at the baby coming out of her? and it's like a split second... okay a few seconds but OMG it was surprising. Newayz, hilarious movie, the kind you buy so you can watch it again. lol.
