LOL this video is so funny:
Gran Torino (film)
So Walt Kowalsky (Clint Eastwood) is a Korean War veteran, and he kind of despises everything going on in the world. He's really lonely and gets easily angered. His neighbours are these Asians, Hmong people and he really hates them because, well they're Asian. So yeah, basically that's the movie, and obviously they show his relationship with the Hmong people growing and stuff like that.
This movie's actually pretty good. It's extremely funny how Clint Eastwood is so racist against the Asians. Not really that controversial as I thought it would be, it wasn't really predictable, maybe half-half. At the beginning I felt it was moving quite slow, but then it got better. Anyway, yeah, pretty good movie.
Rachel Getting Married (film)
Kym, played by Anne Hathaway, gets out of rehab to attend her sister's wedding. Kym has a terrible past involving drugs and alcohol, but her family still shows their love for her. But then, at the wedding recital, Kym gets a bit jealous that all the attention is on the couple getting married, and she does some stupid self-centered things and that starts sparks domestic chaos.
Okay, so...how do I start? Basically, I'm never ever going to so much as TOUCH that movie ever again. Look, the director really has some screwed up mind. The whole movie was filmed by a hand held camera, and that also included random zoom ins and outs that was just UNNECESSARY. One user reviewer on IMDb stated: "Rachel Gets Married, Audience Gets Headache." I totally agree with that. But it wasn't just the camera's fault. The storyline was interesting, yes (I mean Anne Hathaway as some messed up girl, of course I'll be interested), but seriously, so many boring bits in the film like, they would sing songs at the wedding recital for what seems like HOURS, they would keep saying mundane speeches to the bride for HOURS and it didn't help that there was hardly any music, and when there WAS music, it was so annoying, it never stopped!
I can't believe everyone was saying how good this film was, raving about Anne Hathaway. I mean she was okay, but the film just SUCKED.
Argh seriously, just don't watch this film.
Inkheart (film)
Mo, Brendan Fraser, has this special ability that whatever he reads aloud will come alive. He has a daughter, somewhere in her teens, and their mother has disappeared. He is in desperate need of this book, Inkheart, which he believes can bring his wife back if he read her out of it. And then, trouble comes and these bad guys (that he read out of Inkheart about nine years ago) come and capture him and want him to read the Shadow (the ultimate bad guy in the story) out of the book.
Okay so that wasn't the best summary but oh well. lol. This movie was actually alright- better than Rachel Getting Married at least. I expected it to be like really stupid, predictable and cliche, and wasn't really looking forward to watching it. Although it is cliche in the most cliche of ways, although it's a little predictable, and although the bad guys seem quite stupid (and the fact that Capricorn looks so much like Gollum/Smeagol just stuck in mind the entire movie), it wasn't that bad. But in saying that, I'm not saying it was a good film. More like...neutral. Like you're not going to die watching it, but I probably won't watch it again.
Oh, I IMDb'ed Capricorn and yes, he was Gollum/Smeagol. =D
Anyway so I really need to find another book to read. Holidays are almost over and I really having nothing to do!
