Three Veils (2011)

so i was rooming around the big W and found some things about this movie Three Veils... i of cause went on YouTube (as i often do) and watched the trailer.. and then... I had to watch it.. this means i was watching a movie that was not on the list... it wasn't my fault i swear it just eh jumped me? >.<

the movie is about the 3 middle eastern girls Nikki, Amira and Leila whose lives end up all entangled. It tells each girls side of this entangled story.

okay so i have become such a sucker for this type of movies.. and when Sheetal Sheth shows up on screen with those sweet eyes of hers i am just sold.. i was totally jumped with this movie.. it was just a has to see movie..

i like the way the movie was build. The 3 girls all know each other in some way and all you get is the way they interact in a short period of time. The thing is even though they each know one another they are widely different and from very different backgrounds. In a kinda short and non spoiling way Leila is a girl about to get married in an arranged marriage, her best friend Nikki is a real fuck-up and after Nikki gets turned down at Leila's house due to Leila's mom Nikki turns to Leila's study-buddy Amira for help. Amira being a very religious Muslim girl with a big secret of her own.

uhm just lovely i tell ya :) 

When Harry tries to marry (2011)

so i'm back.. pff work is hard to get use to after being sick for 2 weeks... anywho.. movies
so 670 movies is on the list ( yeah i know a movie has sneaked in... however it is one who hasn't premiered in dk yet) ... so tired as i am and after feeling the torture of having to wait for a new castle episode i choose to go overboard in the romantics... lucky for me the first page of the list offers just such a thing :)

When Harry tries to marry is about Harry (duh!) an young Indian-american guy who has wished for an arranged marriage since he was a kid using statistics as an argument. therefor he calls a guy in India shortly before he is graduating to make le guy arrange a marriage for him. Le guy finds a girl Nita and now the wedding preparations starts... only Harry got a new american friend that turns out to complicate things... a lot!

as expected this was and overly sweet and quite predictable... and as the closeted romantic that i apparently am i just looooooved it... (oh dear i'm showing my girlishness) it is so sweet and yet hilarious so well.. (i kinda lost my wind here.. that darn YouTube with your videos and stuff)

bum bum bum... oh yeah if your are into have a fun night with a romantically movie to snuggle under the blanket to this is definitely a winner.. but at the same time.. i don't think a lot of guys would love this movie.. it is most certainly a chick flick... :P

think i got all burned out now.. oh well until next time :)

X-Men: First Class (2011)

So all of my movie interested friends has been makíng fun of me for a while now for not having watch this one yet... so now I have..

so this movie is to be seen as the starting of the Xavier institute. That meaning watching the events that leads for it to be.

trailer time :)

so i have always loved X-men and even though i don't own any of the comics i do recall reading a few of them whenever i could get a hold on one from the public library (my part of Denmark isn't that big on comics for some reason) anyway.. yes i enjoyed this movie a lot.. but comparing it to the other movies (x-men 1, 2 & 3 + Wolverine) i can't help but notice dang there's a lot of disagreement within the movies.. that i find to be a huge shame since well they should be sort of telling different parts of the same story.. hmm well lets put a pin in it and never speak of it again shall we

back to the movie.. i quite loved it.. only thing bugging me is i don't do well with russian and whatever other strange language they were speaking and for some reason the version i was watching (all hail to the internet right?) didn't have subtitles.. kinda sad cause i would have loved to know what they were saying :)

The Love Guru (2008)

so after deleting a movie from the list being anything else than what i thought I am down to 671... just saying that makes me think dang that is gonna take some time.. I really should stop filling movies in until i'm way longer down in numbers..

anywho (man i love that word) i decided to watch the love guru. and even though i normally can't stand Mike Myers i gave it a shot...

The Love Guru is about a guru Pitka who gets the assignment to bring a hockey player back with his wife because he can't play as long as they are broken up. He does so using a weird set of rules that kinda changes gameplan along the way. Pitka is certain that if he get this job done and land a interview on Oprah then he will be the greatest Love Guru of all and as a result get to love himself.

so like I said above i'm not really a fan of Mike Myers... actually it is so bad that I can't get myself to watch a movie with Heather Graham, whom I absolutely adore, just because he is in it.. anyway this movie had its moments. Yes I did giggle a bit but mainly I didn't find it all that funny which is what people had told me it was... plus side for me would be the adorable Jessica Alba.. she can just be so dang sweet in movies like this..

Also I kinda did like the whole story about the student teaches the teacher but it was kinda predictable... but then again most movies for laughs are :)

what i'm basically saying is I can't really judge this movie fairly just because i'm partial to not liking it just because of the staff.. and yes I did find it a bit cheesy at most points because it is not really my stile of humor (oh wow I guess I do have a stile) but I also see that this isn't really a bad movie.. I would just prefer never to watch it again :)

The Night Watch (2011)

The Night Watch is set during World War II (and the ending) following the lives and crossovers of 6 young people who all has in some way relations to one another.

so yeah that was an ultra short description i made there.. there's a reason for that.. The way this movie is built is unlike anything I've ever seen before.. i find that cool and well intriguing... to explain this movie without giving it away.. hmm it's actually quite tough... the absolute best way to describe it would be the first sentence of the movie:

"If you go to the cinema midway through a film, you watch the second half first don't you. So you see how the characters end up in the story. What happened to turn them into the people they became? It's like a riddle you have to solve "

this is what the movie is.. a riddle you have to solve.. i rather enjoy it.. but then again I've always loved riddles :)

the movie is in historical settings and it involves not just lesbians but homosexuality in general in a time where it was not yet quite acceptable but not unacceptable either.. and given it is based on a book by Sarah Waters yeah well it is kinda what you expect isn't it ;)

oh also.. i did something bad XD i went on youtube.. so instead of being down on 666 movies it is now up on 672 (wups) which is more than i started out with.. bugger! >.< I am just never gonna finish this 

The Boy Who Cried Werewolf (2010)

so 667 movies and i have trouble deciding.. not because i have to many choices but because i didn't feel like watching any of them... finally got 2 out that looked interesting; John tucker must die and the boy who cried werewolf... as you can see i choose the later.

The boy who cried werewolf is a Nickelodeon production from 2010.. this basically means it was not released in theaters. Oh well don't blame the movie for that :P

so what is it about... well you have this family of three.. a dad and his daughter and son. The daughter Jordan want her dad to start dating again and the son Hunter is mainly against it. Hunter is also acting out by scaring people since he is overly happy about the super natural. Dad is not that big a fan of Hunters pranks though and thinks that since Hunter just turned 14 he should grow up and put all this spooky stuff on the shelf. One night Hunter finds a letter saying that the family inherited a castle in Romania. They go there and spooky things starts to happen...

so this was a fun little movie. It is a kids movie i could see myself showing my imaginary kids (or maybe just future ones) normally i don't like a lot of played kids movies (as opposite to animation) because i feel like they are being dumped down properly to make sure kids understand them. But i grew up with movies like Casper the friendly ghost and Addams family which wasn't dumped down and when talking about The Addams was in many ways pedagogically incorrect.. and i didn't get screwed up.. not much anyway.. to me this movie has a little of the same magic that Addams family still holds on me and i'm sure this is why i liked it so much..

oh and there is this wonderful thing about IMDb... my wanna list should be down to 666 (oh special number) but ehm it's not... its back up at 667 and with a movie on list i can't find.. oh well guess i just have a neverending wanna watch list :P

Pineapple Express (2008)

so one down on that list of mine 668 to go :P

anywho Pineapple Express.. i have gotten so many different responses... some say it is great others that i should just stay away from it.. but it is on the list so yeah might as well make my own decision on it.

so Dale Denton (uh Seth Rogen) is a 25 year old process server dating a high school girl.. Dale has to serve his drug dealer's boss ending with him seeing le boss killing a competitor. Now Dale and Saul (dale's drug dealer) is on the run from hitmen and a corrupt cop. Sounds good doesn't it? oh yeah there was also something about smoking Pineapple express...

oh wow... so now i totally understand my friends being split on this one.. what an odd movie :S

so it has it funny moments.. truthfully it has a lot of funny moments but dang the story is just fucked.. i guess if you are high or just know what it is like to be high then it gets better but seriously... it is just way out there.. the whole drug war is like fake or something and what was the dealio with the drug lord and the female cop?

so yeah it is defiantly not a movie i plan on watching ever again.. wow i'm still amazed at how fucked this movie was.. really i'm not even sure i would recommend it as a onetime watch :S on the other hand if i had been wasted (which do happen from time to time) i would properly had laughed a lot more than i did.. i might  also have done a little more off that focus thingy that should be so healthy.. oh well one more off the list right :)

The Bounty Hunter (2010)

Okay so i started operation watch my wanna-watch list XD... thing is i'm sick at the moment and watching movies kinda kills the time between coughing and sleeping.. and my series are on break.. me suspects Superbowl though i don't see the reason (not the biggest sportsfan in case you were wondering)... so my current wanna-watch list is about 669 movies not that i have any clue why it keeps being so huge since i on average watch like a movie a day :S anywho.. project starts at the buttom of the list.. gotta start somewhere and in the middle seems kinda wrong XD

now to picking the movie.. off cause i have at some point thought oh wow that movie looks interesting i should watch that.. but ehm my mood shifts kinda often and so does my want of movies.. so sometimes i don't feel like watching a certain type of movie anymore even though it still looks interesting.. get my drift? anyway sitting on page 17 of my list i figured that i'm to sick and tired to watch a subtitled movie.. also documentries would not get the attention i believe them to deserve.. so half the page is already dead XD now the question is should it be comedy, action or sugarsweet romance.. given that this is written before the title of the post you are gonna know already what i choose.. but hey let a girl ramble right ;)

The Bounty Hunter (haha guess i went for everything) is about Milo Boyd a bounty hunter who gets hired to hunt down his ex-wife Nicole. Oh looks like trouble from here :P He off cause thinks it's gonna be a easy job (typical men?) but then she slips away and they end up running for their life. Oh boy oh boy can't wait to see this one (being sick might make me overly eager)

disappointed i was not.. the movie brought everything i needed in just that moment.. since i am sick i loved the fact that it was so simple and yet hilarious complicated. It did present all the classic boy and girl can't figure it out problems but hey it kinda does the trick :P and it was an extremely fun movie. Was it girly.. well yes but the small action-parts and the cracking jokes makes up for it.. this is definitely a movie you can watch in a mixed group or along with your boy/girlfriend.. it will make a fun evening out of it.. Anyway it is clear why it got so much attention back in 2010 when it came out in theaters

oh and i love Christine Baranski in it... don't know why but i just find her cool and funny (oh must be a good wife episode up soon) and tell you the line i remember the best from this movie is Christine Baranski as Nicole's mom saying this...

"oh and bring the phone i want a picture.. a tiny picture of his ass that's all i ask"

just priceless :P
