The Movies

As far as movies go, i have seen quite a few recently.

Dear John
AdventureLand
Those are probably the only blog worthy ones.


Avatar was really great actually. I was a little hesitant to see it mainly because of the huge praise everyone was giving it. but i judged it too quickly. The pocahontas plus fern gully theme was not the most original but far better than ninety five percent of the other movies that follow the cinderella, beauty and the beast, and sleeping beauty themes. The love story in it was cute, and soft. and cute. but really i think love stories are getting old, especially since practically every movie AND every song are love themed. time to get creative Hollywood.


Dear John,
You are the saddest movie i have seen. I teared up a few times during you. and your twist really got me. i would have NEVER guessed. I wish you would have explained more. then again, now i can make my own assumptions. which are John and Savannah do not end up together. i kind of want to read the book to see if more is explained, but there are so many other books ahead of you on my list, so you will have to wait. and im not too worried about it because going back through my brain and pulling out all the details from the movie, john, you were clearly nearly five years older in the last scene with your facial hair and suave clothing, and that hug was so sweet and longing that if you were together you were definitely not sleeping in the same bed. and that would be a shame, i would much rather you two not be together, because then the long lost first love feeling can still remain in the back of your heart and mind.


And AdventureLand. Firstly i think Kristen Stewart is a hautie. i really think she is one of the more beautiful hollywood actresses. her eyes are mesmerizing. Michael Cera would have been a much better fit for the main role (james) i think was his name. i keep thinking Kristen Stewart and Michael Cera have a film together but i cant think of it. and Ryan Reynolds... since when are you a cheating asshole? all i could think about the whole time was Scarlet Johansson in hes just not that into you. their acting skills are very similar and their facial expressions and tone of voice the same too. they are married right? pretty shallow movie. reminded me of utah a little bit, in the sense of everyones everyday activities. but i was entertained. i like the home wrecker theme. kristen is too juvenile to pull it off though.


But a lot of the tv shows are making it work so good.

i agree. though avatar was visually stunning, i'm getting rather sick of pocahontas sploofs.

have you seen (500) days of summer?
