It's pretty late, so as you can see, I got weird with the topic title. The creative juices just flowed up into a giant puddle and made me do it. I assure it is associated with a couple of topics in this post, though:P
School has been hell like usual, but hey, I'm out for Thanksgiving Break right now, so it's all good. I cannot believe it got here so quickly. Today even felt like a typical school day, and I didn't even feel that "day before break" feeling. But f*ck school, that's the least of my problems right now. I guess I can tell you about my weekend, though. Amelia and I attempted to try going on a date to the movies again, since last time, my heart wanted to implode:P. This time, though, it was a success! We went and saw Fred Claus, though, which I didn't really want to see, but the girlfriend has to decide on the movie, so alright. Review on that in a moment.
Oh, and Amelia's life was saved this weekend it seems. She said that she was making dinner, when all of a sudden she passed out again. Turns out her liver failed on her, and she was rushed to the hospital. She got lucky because a kid just got into a car accident and happened to be an organ donor, so she got a liver transplant. What seems fishy, though, is that she just got her transplant on Saturday, and she got released that night. We went to the movies on Sunday. And she has been at school for the past few days as well:?. I don't know if it's my mom who's putting sh*t in my head or not, but it seems weird that she would seem fine and active after having a transplant so soon. You see, I told my mom about her transplant, and because Amelia goes through so many crazy situations, my mom's beginning to think she could be lying to me just for attention:?. I highly doubt it, since I'm not the only one she tells these things to. Besides, how could a girl such as herself be that sick as to lie about transplants and having cancer? That would just be wrong. I don't know, I think my mom's feeding me a bunch of bullsh*t. It's probably because she's obsessed with returning to Georgia, and doesn't want me to have a girlfriend from Michigan to convince me to stay or something:roll:.
Enough of the boring girlfriend talk, time for the long awaited movie reviews. I don't feel like going in depth, so don't expect detail:
Planet Terror--Way better than Death Proof. There's so much over-the-top gore, violence, and action that it's hard to not have a fun time watching this. The cast is great, ranging from Rose McGowan (Charmed) to Freddy Rodriguez (Harsh Times) to cameos from Bruce Willis (Live Free Or Die Hard) to Quentin Tarantino (Death Proof). Of course, they all contributed to the fun of this movie. The movie had all of the intended errors just like Death Proof did to give it a cheesy effect like a movie from the 1970s, only this movie did it better IMO. Especially during a sex scene when the reel starts messing up:lol:. Also, unlike the Death Proof DVD, this one has a fake trailer of a movie called "Machette," which was pretty awesome. I wish there were more of the fake trailers featured in the Grindhouse theater showings, though. Overall, a fun, explosive ride with a little bit of zombie horror mixed in with humor. It gets a 9/10.
Speak--I actually watched this one in my contemporary American literature cl@ss, after we finished a unit associated with it. Of course, one of the books we could've chose to read was Speak, and I did read it. The movie follows the book quite well, but like with most movies created based off of books, there were some things missing. The acting was also a bit lacking IMO, but I guess it is because it seems like an independent dark comedy. Not many well known actors or actresses in this movie, except for maybe Steve Zahn (Rescue Dawn), who can surprisingly act. Kristen Stewart puts in a very realistic performance as the main protagonist as well. Everyone else, though, I felt the acting wasn't convincing enough. It was a solid movie, though, that remained faithful to the book. It gets a 7.5/10.
Fred Claus--Yay. Another cliched holiday movie. But this one really wasn't half bad. First of all, the top notch cast helped a bit. I mean, you've got Vince Vaughn (Wedding Crashers), Paul Giamatti (Sideways), Kevin Spacey (American Beauty), Kathy Bates (Fried Green Tomatoes), and even rapper Ludacris (Crash) as an elf DJ. The comedy, I do admit, was pretty funny at times, and wasn't all stale. Some of it was cliche, though, like the development of the story, but that's pretty much expected I guess. Unfortunately, this movie suffers from other things as well. The special effects were pretty bad IMO, especially with the sleigh shown flying through the sky. Also, the sound effects sucked ass, too. Too many cartoon sound effects were used in the film, making it seem like a cartoon, when it wasn't. But if you're desperate for a holiday movie, and you're sick of watching Elf and A Christmas Story or Bad Santa over and over again, check this one out. It gets a 7/10.
Yay, got those out of the way. Now I can play Super Mario Galaxy since my dad bought it for me this past weekend:D.................................................but I have to wait until Christmas:(. He even left it in the Wal-Mart sack and displayed it in the living room to torture me:cry:!!!!!!!! I'MA GO INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!! But seriously, do I REALLY have time to be playing that, with the sh*tload of work I have to do in school? Besides, I still have The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass to keep me occupied.
One last thing. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME A NEW GORILLAZ CD WAS RELEASED!!!!!!!!?????? You guys are supposed to tell me these things:evil:. Oh well, maybe no one else heard about it as well:P. Or maybe I just spend too much time in the Off the Books union and in hip-hop blogs all over the internet to even be concerned with other genres of music other than hip-hop:P. But their newest album, called D-Sides, sounds so cool. I sampled it, and it sounds like it's worth the purchase. Plus, not only does it have one disk of new music on it, it has another with a bunch of remixes of songs from the last album. Most definately on my Christmas wish list:D.
I'm done. Time for some shut-eye. Thanksgiving is coming up in a couple of days, so everyone have a safe and wonderful holiday. Hopefully no one has to visit the hospital...............due to a food overdose that causes an implosion in the stomach:P. Also, everyone have a great Black Friday as well:D. Oh who am I kidding, you know I'll probably be eager to share my experiences by day's end on Friday, so I'll see you then:P.
*How many f*cking times are you going to use the ":P " smiley in this damned blog? And why the hell did you use the movie Harsh Times as an example of a movie that Freddy Rodriguez was in when you were reviewing Planet Terror? Harsh Times was a huge Training Day ripoff, and it sucked ass.*
.............................you never give up, do you?
*Look, you can either answer my questions and I automatically go away, or we can argue about how and why I always appear like I do, and it will result with me being chased around by the backspace key like a child trying to avoid cough medicine. Your choice, bub.*
