What Did You Watch Today?

The Happening - Mark Wahlberg is awesome/10

Not only is it a horrible movie, but Marky Mark turned in the funniest performance he has ever turned in ever. It's as if a 10 year old child had taken over him and he couldn't keep his thoughts inside his head. Hysterical. And watching the gag reel, he insulted M. Night to his face to a sheepish laugh. It was beautiful. My respect for Marky Mark has risen for not taking this movie seriously by any means.

Occasionally my girlfriend and I give each other a "What!?! No!" delivered in the Wahlberg style. Thanks Marky...

From that quote to "GIVE ME A SECOND!" to "BE SCIENTIFIC, DOUCHEBAG!" this movie will be memorable amongst my group of friends.

I watched Sunshine Cleaning today, it was a nice film, but I feel slightly overrated by people.

Now I've finished my work for last semester and am free for 2 weeks, I'm going to be watching an obscene amount of films.

The Uninvited

If someone throws anything with Arielle Kebbel in my way, I'd jump at the chance of watching it anyway, but I wasn't expecting this to be so good.

Within about twenty minutes of the film starting, I felt there'd be some sort of twist by the end. I was right in that sense, but it was something I'd never thought of being possible until the film pieced everything together for me.

Brilliant film, brilliant ending.

The Informant - *** out of *****

Extraordinary Measures: 5/10

It was entertaining enough for the optimist in me, Fraser wasn't horrible, but wasn't very good either. Ford was pretty good too, but I think the main thing I liked about the movie was the science. Might have possibly been higher rated, but:

The fact that they added Ford's character so they had a "wacky unconventional" doctor and changed the children's ages to the point where they could go at any second(they're 7 and 13 months in the true story)

drug down some points for me.

Daybreakers - 6/10 I'd heard some bad things about it, but ultimatley, I ended up liking it. Ethan Hawke and Willem Defoe are really quite good in their roles, especially Hawke. I think the whole thing looked really good and I liked the idea. There was some tension, maybe some unintentional laughs - but the story, at points, just fell flat. At times it felt rushed and some parts in the story seemed pointless. But overall, it was a fun movie - and I definitely smell a sequal.

Bottlerocket - *** out of *****

It was a nice film, Owen Wilson looks really young (unsurprising as it's from 1994), but it was a bit slow to get into. But very watchable.

Numbahs - You watch so many movies. I just wish you'd give some idea of how you come to give them the rating you do though. Then I'll know whether or not to watch it.

Watched "27 Dresses" earlier. Good film considering you know how it's going to end as soon as it begins, but it has Katherine Heigl in it, so it can't be bad, right?

Guys, "Knocked Up" makes up for all of those, so fuck you both. :/

[TKz]

Am I right in thinking that she's the one whose apparently an absolute bitch to all the people she worked with? I remember reading something from Apatow & Rogen about how she was a total bitch to the people she worked with.

[Numbahs]

They've said she is a cool person to be around and didn't have a bad experience working with her.

She badmouthed Knocked Up, saying that it portrayed it's female characters as humorless shrews.

The funny person in that exchange was Seth Rogen, not Heigl. I guess she that doesn't make up for her other movies.

Daybreakers * out of *****

Awful, awful execution of a pretty damn good idea. I went in expecting big things from this one considering that the trailor really looked absolutely bad ass, but instead all I got was a bunch of WALKING to start off that really only lent itself to showing the style of clothes people were wearing. The movie dragged and dragged and was far too gorey for no reason. Seriously it felt like I was in the theater for for hours and I wanted to leave after the first twenty minutes.

The Lovely Bones ***1/2 out of *****

I didn't get to hear everything because a buddy of mine likes to TALK a lot during movies. It was pretty good, and fucked up at the same time.

The Book of Eli **** out of *****

Awesome, awesome fight scenes and the film had a great look. I thought all of the acting was performed rather brilliantly. I'm going to see this one again.

Sherlock Holmes **** out of *****

I greatly enjoyed this one, probably one of the most fun films I've watched in a very long time. I also loved the slow motion parts.
