The Love Guru

A hilarious movie, one of Mike Myers best, IMHO.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman
Dir. Frank Darabont

I've been wanting to watch this one for quite some time and finally caught an extended period of time this weekend.

What a marvelous piece of acting and dialogue. Of creating mood and atmosphere, in varying points in time (it's almost an American history lesson). People before have referenced this movie and its characters the same way we quote Star Wars, Bogart and Don Corleone. I now understand their inspiration.

I always assumed there was something mystical about this movie with the cumbersome title and spiritual image of Tim Robbins, being cleansed in the rain. I thought the story and characters would be way more magical since the source material was Stephen King. I am so very glad that it wasn't the case.

With an infinite bytes of digital power at every filmmaker's disposal, it appears harder than ever to portray the simple power of humanity with words and thought. I had to look up the year that this movie was released. My inital guess was way the hell off, which I guess says something about what sells these days. Gads, I feel old.

But good rises up somehow: good quality anyway.

*** 1/2 (out of 4).

The Village

Pretty good, but a bit slow paced here and there.

Mama Mia!

I got forced to go by people seeing it for the 2nd/3rd time coz they thought it was so great... Me, not so much... If I saw it on Broadway I would have thought WOW!!! But as a movie, it just feels awkward and cramped to me... Great soundtrack though of course

Fantistic Four : Rise Of The Silver Surfer - 5/10

Watchable but that's about all I can say. There's been better superhero, even better Marvel movies than this.

Mamma Mia!

I thought it was good. I saw the broadway version some odd years ago, so I don't remember it too well.
The girl who plays Sophie is the same one who played Karen in Mean Girls. So at the beginning, everytime I saw her, I pictured her grabbing her boobs and saying that it was raining!

roflmao! She was also Vicky's bestie that died in Veronica Mars so I kinda kept imagining her dying sort of.. more like one of her friends being Vicky and her being about to die.. so in the end of the movie I was like NO DON'T GO THERE, YOU'LL DIE!!!!!!!!! ()_()

オトシモノ [Otoshimono]

I was expecting it to be a little better, but it wasn't that bad. There are definitely better Japanese horror movies than this. Overall, I think I'll give it a 3/5. Sawajiri Erika was good eye candy
