The Return of What Film Have You Watched Recently

The new Footloose- Terrible. I loved the original...and it seems this remake has no idenity. I mean, was it trying to be its own movie or was it trying to stay true to the original? I felt like it kept going back and forth between the two.

Heathers- Never saw this before. I heard that Mean Girls kinda copied the basic premise and I saw the same story elements. Good movie. I liked how the colors played a part in the film too. Lots of blue and red....and of course, black for the villain.

Watched Sucker Punch again this extended holiday break, and I must say I really enjoyed it. The action was great, the story made sense (even if I thought it was a little silly) and I liked the characters. Plus the music was fantastic. This is going into my action movie rotation.

Expendables 2 - Loved that the film makers didn't take themselves too seriously. This movie was just pure fun, I laughed the entire way through, just because you could tell the director & actors were having a ball making this movie. I really hope Steven Segal, Cynthia Rothrock & Michelle Yeoh appear in the franchise at some point.

ParaNorman - My power cut out before I could finish this movie, heck I only got to about the 15 minute mark, but I think I'm going to love this one. The opening music grabbed me right away.

Vamps - As rom-coms go, this may have been my favorite of the year. Whudathunkit?!? Krysten Ritter & Alicia Silverstone were fun as the leads, Malcolm McDowell chewed the scenery like a pro and Shawn Wallace always makes things better. Plus the cameo from Marilu Henner (still SMOKING HOT) was awesome.

I watched that one over some guy's shoulder on a plane. Had no interest in the movie, but that Julianne Hough is yummy.

LOVED this movie!!!! I can't say enough great things about this film. The voice work, animation, character design, story, music and everything else. Easily my favorite movie of the year.

If ParaNorman doesn't get some Oscar & Golden Globes love, then there is something really rotten in Hollywood. Hell, the score alone should garner some attention. I could listen to this all day.

LOL yes, very yummy. Best part of the movie, bar none. And I'm usually a brunette/brown eyes kinda guy. But she was smokin'!

I watched The FP the other day. It's a fantastic intentionally bad movie.

Is that the Dance Dance Revolution movie? That looked kind of funny.

Fire With Fire: an interesting enough take on the vigilante story (a reluctant vigilante, disgusted by what he's doing but doesn't see another way out when the bad guys keep tracking him down even through witness protection). There were enough stars in it (including Bruce Willis and Rosario Dawson) that I was surprised I'd never heard of it.

I keep seeing that one at the Redbox and wondering about it.

The Wild Bunch

Im a big fan of Peckinpah but i have never seen this famous western of his. I always thought it was like Magnificent 7 or Dirty Dozen type action but i was really surprised and impressed by the depth of the story,the characters. The writing,directing for the characters showed in very minimalist way so well how they reacted to each other, the group of men was to each other. I enjoyed for that and the way the film showed the dark side of human condition. Mapache, the whole corruption,evil. It was more than action western and a bleak story but there was goodness,idealistic elmements too. It destroys his other westerns before it in comparison, that it was much deeper than violent westerns. The tragic ending would have clichè and less important for another director, another script. I felt so much for the characters that it was poetic way to end. Actors wise i was impressed by William Holden that i dont know from anywhere else. He acted so much with his face,body that showed so much. Perfect Peckinpah style of directing and not making it simple for the audience.
