From my list of belated movies to watch, last night I finally got to see the latest Indiana Jones movie. And boy oh boy did I enjoy it! =D Having been a huge [and do I mean HUUUGE] fan of Indi for my entire childhood [including now =D], I was worried that this new one was going to not reach up to my expectations and let me down. Well, it did no such thing! I LUUUUUUUVED it!
I really liked the general character reunion, and all the pointers to the past adventures. It was aaaaaaaaaaaaawesome to see “Marion Ravenwood” againe. =D The cute and goofy humour of the movie was great. I also totally loved the plot for this one. I guess it was about time Indi finally met with aliens from other dimensions, right? And of course it had to happen either in Atlantis or Eldorado. I mean do you know of any more appropriate place? 😉
I’m sure glad to see Indi’s son has turned out to be as much of a bad-arse as himself. 😉 That also makes me wonder, is it possible that there are now going to be sequels with new adventures for the son?? I would sort of dig that! =D I suppose my movie-buff friends would probably have an answer for that already…. 😉
P.S.: I suppose I should also mention that last week I finally watched “The Dark Knight”. Seeing how I haven’t posted anything about it, I guess you can tell exactly how impressed [↓] I feel by it. 😉
So as usual I’m pretty late to the whole movie gig, but oh well, I guess it’s better late than never eh? Specially when it comes to a movie such as this.. I couldn’t possibly miss this one. =)
So we went to see Avatar last night… and I can’t begin to put into words how impressed and moved I am by this movie. Would you have seen me in the theatre though, you’d have been able to tell for yourself. Specially if you would touch the scarf around my neck… lets just say that if was completely wet. I had tears all over my face for the bigger half of the movie. So much beauty, so much emotions… ahhhh…. [And I have to add, it wasn’t just me.. the company was weeping too! 😉 ]
This movie sends so many deeply meaningful messages through. There’s so much to think about here. And I have to admit, even though I knew I was watching a movie and not something real, there were times that I just wanted to explode with emotions. I couldn’t help totally falling in love with the “Na’vi” people. And there were times I really wanted to punch that sodding “Colonel Miles Quaritch” hard enough in the jaw to completely redecorate his face. And guess what… finally someone managed to picture a race of alien beings that are in fact prettier than humans. Much prettier that is. =D I mean…. oh man…. BLUE….. =D 😉
Now I’m going to wait for the Blu-ray, and the soundtrack CD. It’s certainly a completely different experience when you’re watching it on IMAX 3D, and feeling like the tree branch is about to splash you in the face… but the Blu-ray would still be quite welcome, and better than nothing. 😉 But what I really wish for, is a couple [or more] of sequels. Not that it seems very likely at all…but it’s still ok to wish for it, right? =P
So I just watched Lost season 6 premiere on Space channel, and it was simply mind blowing. =) LOOOOVVVEED IT! As I expected, it caused much more questions than giving any answers… and that’s exactly what we love about Lost, isn’t it? 😉
At the end of season 5, after Ben’s trial, I knew with a 100% certainty that John Locke the new, the smoke monster, and the black dude were all the same. It was very clear given how he manipulated Ben to kill Jacob. But I’m wondering, what the heck is his name? =D And where’s “home” that he wants to go to? And what happens no that Jacob’s dead? And what did Juliet mean by “it worked”? And .. and… and… and… I could go on forever.
But you know what? I also have another really BIG question that I really have to bring up here… Sayid Jarrah is supposed to be Iraqi right? Then can somebody tell me, why on earth he has an IRANIAN PASSPORT????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m half Persian. I was born in Iran. I have an Iranian passport. I know what an Iranian passport looks like. Below is a screenshot of the scene showing Sayid’s passport [thanks to YouTube!], right beside a photo of the first page of my Iranian passport. As you can see, it’s exactly the same. [Click to see the full size.]
Something tells me that this is not a part of the Lost mystery plot. So I’d say… it’s a rather sad mistake. Iraq and Iran are 2 different countries.. a fact that SOOOO many people seem to not realize.
Anyhow… aside from the above booboo, I really enjoyed the first episode, and I can’t wait for more…. ah… please… moooorrre…. moooorrrrrrr Lost… MOOOORRRRE… =))))))))))
Can’t believe I forgot to write about this! Last week I finally went to see the Sherlock Holmes movie, in Burlington with my cuz. I have to mention here first that I’ve read every single Holmes book out there, and I’ve seen the TV series. To be honest, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the older movies / TV series, because the way Holmes was pictured in those, was not really much like the image that the books gave me. The details in the books that is, very small details.
Paying attention to the hints here and there in the books about Holmes’ personal characteristics, I always had the feeling that he should be this bad-arse character somehow, and somewhat melancholy. So, obviously I enjoyed seeing a lot of just that in the movie. I think that’s how Holmes should be “made”! LUUUVVVEEDDD IT! =D
Also, for obvious reasons, I really think that there will be sequels. 😉
Umm… no. Yeah. I have to start by saying NOOO. Big NOOOO. God, just what are these folks doing? We’re so used to Stargate being this larger than life complex intriguing epic plots, and that’s what we like about it! Now of course there needs to be evolution, there needs to be change… but then there’s “change” and there’s “mess up”. And so far, SGU has been the ladder. None of my big time Stargate fan friends seem to like this one at all up to now.
So far, SGU has only been a bunch of extremely shallow people doing extremely useless things. All the time. What bothers me even more, is that the general plot and the big picture is in fact VERY interesting. People who are not supposed to be doing this, further from home than any human has every been… this could be SOO full of events. But it’s NOT! And I think it’s mainly due to how un-interesting the characters are. So far, I only find 3 of the main character interesting [sometimes!]: – Dr. Rush – Cause he uses his brain – Eli Wallace – Cause he sometimes uses his brain – Camiile Wray – Cause she started drawing the boat
As for the rest of them, I find them completely and utterly vain.
So that’s all I have to say, so far it’s been a big disappointment. The 9th episode is the last one I’ve seen so far, and now they’ve left my favorite character, Dr. Rush, on the surface of some planet and left him there to die…. but he’s alive, and that may go to interesting places. It would be “nice” to see my favorite character turning into the big anti-hero….we’ll just have to wait and see. I really hope things start picking up….
Well I’m not really a movie buff…. but hey, I do very much enjoy a good movie! It’s not so difficult to entertain me with a movie, I have a passing fun with all sorts of them… but then I’m extremely picky about what I call a really _good_ movie, something that I’d watch more than once. And a few nights ago I actually came across one of those extremely rare movies which I would call one of the best I’ve ever seen!
“Memento” is simply an amazing movie. And that’s just about as much about it as I will say here, since due to the extremely complex and delicate nature of the scenario, anything that I say will easily turn into an spoiler. All I can say is that if you haven’t seen this movie you’re missing out… and that it instantly found it’s place on the top of my all time favorites. So check it out! 😉
