The last movie I watched was American Movie. Man did Mark's determination get me thinking and I actually started doing something with my life. Such a great movie, raises a load of feelings inside of you.
And American Movie is not in the same series as Scary Movie, Epic Movie, Superhero Movie and all those nonworthy Movie titled things.
Just saw Avatar, the plot was pretty damn predictable and if you've seen the trailers you basically learn in five minutes what takes half the movie to set up.
There were a few interesting ideas in here but mostly watch it for the spectacle and visuals. The plot was meh its all the special effects you watch it for. I personally found the planet to be more interesting than the plot or characters.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.

I've been hearing so much about the bad plot of avatar so I'm gonna suggest a movie with a GREAT plot for people to watch! And the movie is Man From Earth. The whole movie takes place in one guy John's house where he and his coworkers sit by the fireplace for the whole movie and talk. No action, no special effects, just speech. Still it was the most intriguing movie I've seen in a long time because of all the great insights this movie brings up. The movie is all about John telling the story of his life and boy does he have quite the story 'cause he's actually 14000 years old. I suggest YOU watch this movie!Originally Posted by Wolf Kanno
I rewatched Garden State. It's about as great as I remember it to be but I didn't remember what a cheesy, predictable ending it had.
Saw Daybreakers last night. There were a few too many deus ex machina moments, but overall it was a pretty decent movie. Sure as heck beats New Moon.
"It is a well-known fact that all heroes in all tales disliked vegetables as children.
Their legend begins with their overcoming of this weakness, and then continues with a journey filled with hardships.
That noble vegetable, the onion, lives on as a symbol of hardships overcome, and as the mark of a true hero."
My Neighbor Totoro. Adorable.
I saw a lot of movies in the past two days, but I guess I will just talk about one.
(500) Days of Summer
This was a very quirky, funny film. I liked that a lot of the jokes were subtle too. Also very artsy! Made me think of the stuff people do in my school. The whole concept of a romantic comedy turns me off, but I decided give this one a shot since Joseph Gordon Levitt was in it and he was looking reaaaal good in Mysterious Skin. One of the scenes I liked best is when they were in the department store messing around with the furniture. Seemed like a boss time. After a while I started to despise Zooey's character and I felt really bad for Joseph who is just this really awkward dude. All in all, it's a happy ending type movie, but not entirely predictable. Really well written.
8/10
was that the first time watching that or the fifth for you? just curious xD
Sherlock Holmes.
The banter was witty and very funny. The plot was kind of slow and the action was nothing I haven't seen before, but I think it was worth watching for the chemistry between Holmes and Watson alone. That part was highly entertaining.
3/5

Jennifer's Body. I didn't have any particular expectations, neither good nor bad, since I didn't really know what sort of movie it was gonna be. I was pleasantly surprised!
First time, actually. I've only seen Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away, Ponyo, and Totoro so far. I think I'll either watch Castle of Cagliostro or Whisper of the Heart next.was that the first time watching that or the fifth for you? just curious xD
The Cat Returns and Laputa are also great.
Saw Daybreakers. Interesting story, but gratuitously gorey.
Where The Wild Things Are.
I had high expectations and they were surpassed! I loved this movie through and through (apart from the school scene which really irked me), best one I've seen in a long time.
Avatar
I loved it. It was fantastic. 5/5 easily.
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
