I-den-ty?

Identity theif was a hilarious movie to watch. Lots of sarcastic one liners, and clever ad-libing, I think. Jason Bateman plays a guy who gets his identity stolen from a woman played by Melissa McCarthy. Bateman plays a guy name Sandy so I guess thats how she did it. The Sandy jokes at times were rough. The physical comedy by the two was amazing. They went all out. I also liked that there were some suprising actors in this. Jonathan Banks(of Breaking Bad fame) plays a criminal who sends two of his underlings after the female Sandy. And also Robert Patrick(Mr T-1000 himself) who plays a crazed bill collector. If you went to see a fun, ridiculously over the top film, then see this.

'Wheres my lotto ticket?!" I forgot Mama."

Mama was a pretty good old school horror flick. It's about two girls who are found by their uncle after they had been stranded in a cabin for a long time after their dad kills their mother. They were taken care of by a ghost who becomes very protective of them even after they leave the cabin. The girls are really wild and unkempt when they are discovered. But the uncle and his girlfriend try to give them a home. Jessica Chastain was good as the girlfriend. So was Nikolaj Coster Waldu playing dual roles as the father and uncle. The ghost was pretty cool and scary looking. Visually the film looked stunning. The dream sequences were well done. This was a way much better horror film than Sinister. I mean how serious can you take a film when the entity was named Baghul? Baghuuuuullllllll! Anyways it was good to see a film like this make it to the top of the box office. I had my doubts that I would like it, but it was good. Like a freight train! Cause thats what happens when you don't hail to the chimp. Heh,heh,heh.

Lewis!! What are you doing?!

And that was one of the many classic lines that Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers hilariously in The Last Stand. I thought this movie was cool, despite it not doing too well in its opening week. I don't know, the way Arnold just delivers lines is funny with his accent. The car chases were pretty cool, the cast was alright. I did not get the point of Forset Whitaker as an FBI agent. Too boring. I think he should have been the main bad guy. Luis Guzman as one of arnalds deputies was classic. "What are you in a crusade?" Hahahaa. Ah, good stuff. A good movie to watch and escape from the drudgeries of life, like...nah forget it. Go see movie!

Between you and me....Lincoln!

Great movie. Daniel Day Lewis as Abraham Lincoln was superb, but I thought Tommy Lee Jones stole the movie with his performance of Thaddeus Stevens, a powerful member of the House of Representatives. The way he took down other members of the House with his wit was hysterical. There was also several scenes with Day Lewis that were very emotional and powerful. The part where he talks to his wife about how much he was affected by the death of one of their sons was amazing. Some people might think of the historical Abraham Lincoln as this stoic person. But from what I read he went through enormous personal tragedy. I'm sure he put up brave front, but who knows how much turmoil and sadness was in him. I thought that he was portrayed brillantly in the film. Joseph Gordon Levitt played his son Robert Todd. He had some really good scenes, but was not in it too much. I thought Sally Field did a tremendous job as well playing Licolns wife. Usually I'm not too much into historical films, but this one was a pleasant surprise. I'm glad I watched it. What? Typhone?(Sorry the post seemed too serious, so I had to put a inside joke in)

Reaction to some of The Hobbit scenes:Enough!!!

I didn't like the last of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The return of the King. (Why didn't that stupid giant eye turn into something?!) so I did not know what to expect with the Hobbit. All I can say about the film is...meh. I will not say its horrible. The scenary was once again amazing, and there was plenty of funny oneliners and moments as well. But man some of the scenes just dragged on for so long. Like where all the dwarves are at Bilbo baggins house or hobbit land to plan out their adventure to go and recapture their mountain place that was taken over by a dragon. The scene would just not end! Baggins says no I won't join you guys, wait a second maybe i will, oh I'm not gonna join you guys this is my home, then finally he says oh, okay I'm in. What?! Then the scene where magneto is talking to Dracula(I don't care what their characters names are, I don't have time too look it up. Actually I do, I just don't want to put their names.)It's not a epic movie, but I'll probably watch the next one which will heavily feature the dragon, which will be voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch of Sherlock fame. So I hope that will be interesting. (It's the same reason i watched those stupid Matrix movies, cause I was expecting some grand payoff. There was none. the first one was cool, but that trilogy was a complete waste of viewing time) Maybe I'll try reading the Hobbit to see if I can appreciate the next film. But we shall see my friend.

Arise! Guradians, arise! That's a pun man!

Rise of the Guardians was a visual feast. (Hahahaha, visual feast. Ah, man I'm so funny) Pretty cool animated film centered around childhood favs like the Easter bunny, Saaaanta, Tooth fairy, Sandman, and Jack Frost. They do battle with the Bogeyman or as callled in the film Pitch. I don't know, some people might say to me "You went to see that movie?" Well, I like to try watching different types of films, if its entertaning, and keeps my mind away from the nonsense that goes on in the world, then why not? Honestly though, this is another film like Wreck it Ralph where it really appeals to all ages. It's from the book series, so I've already requested one title, so will see how that goes. Also it was cool that there was an actual major somewhat holiday movie coming out this year. Merry Christmas.
