D.E.B.S. (2004)

since it has been so long since my last post i decided to do one from the shelf..Yes i own this one.. gonna comment on this later on...

D.E.B.S. is a special school for girls learning about well spy stuff... how does the students get picked well... there is this secret test within the aptitude test (sry but have no clue what this test is about in the first place... we don't do them in small DK) anywho if you score well in the test within the test you get contacted... or well drafted might be the word. Anyway we are in this movie following a specific group of 4 D.E..B.S. where one of these is the posterchild for D.E.B.S as she is the perfect score... not that anyone knows exactly what this means... Amy (the posterchild) however is not really into the whole spy stuff and honestly she just wanna go to art school and i don't know be free... and then this evil mastermind shows up in the form of Lucy Diamond (played by Jordana Brewster ) who is really just showing up for a stupid blind date with a Russian assassin, a female russian assassin.... after a failed surveillance mission Lucy and Amy meet and well Lucy is back on the horse and Amy well she reluctantly follows...

This movie is honestly so bad it's good... i love this movie and i know it is very very very wrong.. but come on girls in miniskirts with guns and a super cute villain that isn't really bad... it's super sappy and sweet too.. and it actually have great humor which is probably why i have fallen for it... it is also the first movie i were i knew i was watching Jordana Brewster in... there was a time where i could brag of having watched all her movies but one.. still haven't been around that horror... anywho.... yeah she's my first moviecrush... 

well there you have it... one from my shelf of fabulous movies... yeah.. 

Cleopatra 2525 (2000-2001)

so i have done a lot in the series department of late... well i have been doing a lot of movies to
actually.. actually i might need a life.. or well a different kind... or well maybe not... anywho..

Cleopatra 2525 was the choice on the wanna-watch and well it is a brief memory of watching some of it on telly as a teenager... so i figured it could be fun if not entertaining... well lets start of with the intro because it seems that other than being really bad and good for a laugh (i might have a weird humor though) it is also extremely informative... so minus the singing it would actually be an awesome trailer for the show....

so we have 3 women fighting for the survival of earth with the help of The Voice.. a voice telling then what to do without them knowing who she is... kinda like Charlie's Angels.. and they fight the robots that have taken over earth a bit like you know Matrix... and then we add.... oh yeah.. a lot of sexappeal.. and the clearly lack of having to make sense which i just blame on the 2000's.... like why would they shoot like that? not that i'm complaining just why....

anyway.. lovely reunion with the past.. story is decent though short.. it does end end in final episode like if they knew they were to be cancelled... so there.. me counting down on them wanna watch lists... 

200 mph (2011)

well i needed a break from the girly world.. i might love the chick flicks but it can get to much after a while.. just like pretty much anything else.. anyway got myself lost on the wanna watch list.. seriously how did it get so long? anywho started at the alphabetically top and went from there and well chose 200mph.. figured i could use some speed...



so 200 mph is about Rick a young man who lost his brother in a car accident during a street race. Following the aftermath Rick tries to settle the dept by racing the same guy his brother raced... so he team up with his friends to get his car up to the challenge in the course of a month. during this month though things starts to happen fast around Rick all to intimidate him... so well you get the picture right?

yeah that takes one of my list.. that would be progress just alittle over a thousand to go.. bloody h... anyway.. the movie the movie... the movie isn't bad it's not great either but still not bad.. it is predictable and well has a little to much odds for my liking.. and to be honest the climax of the movie truly sucked.. like big time.. it was not what i expected but it was not a good alternative so.. well.. but hey i got a few laughs and there were some cool cars.. but really wanna have speed and cool cars go find fast and furious.. it will give you a better treat.... 

Pitch Black (2000)

I'm watching lost I swear it... however... was out in the real world this weekend and ended up at a friends place.. we turned telly on and there was this movie on with quite the kick of action.. i did not know that i missed it... anywho my friends boyfriend told me that it was part of a series and that the first one was little know but worth the watch... wanting to watch the said movie again i found the prequel... hence me writing all of this stuff ;)

Pitch Black is about well ehm this commercial transport ship that just for the fun of it is transporting this guy that have just been captured after escaping from prison and is sort of like i dunno... dangerous to humans... and we off cause is transporting him along with a... oh you guessed?... a group of humans.. goodie that just sounds like THE PLAN of all plans... anywho.. said transport ship doesn't really like being all to close to a meteor storm and ship, crew and passengers crashes on this planet.. most of them being safe and sound on this hot desert planet finds well 3 suns and some nasty nasty aliens with a taste for flesh... good news is nasty aliens only hunt at night... the really really bad news.. well every 22 years this planet has an month long eclipse... and oh yeah it is about to occur...

I don't know why but i always said that i'm not to big on sci-fi.. don't know where it went wrong but ehm i have been watching a lot of sci-fi's in the last couple of years... and i like it... think it might be because a lot of sci-fi's has a good amount of action in them and i am a girl for the action c", ) 

anywho what do i think of this movie...? oh boy oh boy oh boy... there were like aliens and and uuuuuuuuhhhh shiny eyes >.< 

sorry i do realize i need more sleep... on a more serious note though... it is a really good movie... storyline got you a bit on edge yet is predictable enough so that you don't get totally lost.. the aliens.. well i like their design and i like that they used the design.. it is not just looks it actually has a point to it.. oh and then there is a lot of blood gory and other goodies... 

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 :)

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

Home Alone 3 (1997)

Alex Pruitt is 8 years old. He's unlucky to get the chickenpox and therefor must stay home in bed. When his mom steps out to get some papers at work Alex notices some shady type breaking in to a neighbors house. As the good kid Alex is he calls the police. However when they get there the thieves are gone. Next day it is dads turn to look after the kid and sure enough he has to step out to. Same thing, when the cops shows up the thieves are gone. Alex is trying to figure out what they are looking for and where they are gonna strike next. Since the cops didn't find any the 2 times he called nobody believes him and Alex decides to take matter into own hands and catch the thieves on his own with a camera and his toy car. Which happens to be what the thieves are after. Then of cause he has to protect his house and catch the bad guys (classic!)

Saying this is a home alone movie in line with the 2 first ones is almost a sin. It's fun and all but it is nothing compared to the others. Not the same type at story and everything.. not like they forget him at home they just don't believe him. Anyhow good things about the movie.. well even though the pranks are not all that cool the bird on the other hand is.. Alex's big brother has this talking parrot that I just love... it's funny and awesome..

"Houston we have a problem"

back to the movie.. well it's a onetime watch for sure but don't think it will end on anyone favorite christmas list on its own. You might like me just think hey lets see the whole bunch of Home alone.. but.. hm hope you know where i'm at...

Sucker Punch (2011)

This is a movie that is hard to recommend to everyone. Not because it's a bad movie, I love this movie, but because a lot (like a lot a lot) of people don't seem to understand it. I don't know if it is because of lack of imagination or it is because they just don't know the feeling of wanting to get lost. I'll come back to this...

Sucker Punch is about a young girl, who after loosing her mom, kills her sister by accident in an effort to protect her from their stepfather. After the accident the stepfather gets her locked up in a mental facility paying a caretaker to make sure she gets "taken care of". The girl then enters a alternative reality where she is called Baby Doll and is to train in dancing so that she is ready for when the high roller comes.

So my opinion to the movie. Well it's simple I get it and I love watching it. So yeah it is an action movie that doesn't always makes the best sense. There is a lot of eye candy in it, and sure it is a big part of the movie. It is the fantasy Baby Doll chooses to have. And as I told in an earlier post I like movies that assumes I have at least half a brain and likes to use it.

Which brings me back to the fact that a lot of people just seems to hate this movie. In the beginning when I was reading about this hate I just didn't get it, simply because I find this movie great. And i kept reading these bad reviews and hate post about Sucker Punch and just ended up thinking that these people simply had to have watched a different movie than me. And then it hit me, Maybe they have. Not physical another movie but emotional and understanding wise. Like they didn't saw the hidden things that her fantasy tells without showing it or actually saying it. Not understanding how it's like to disappear into a fantasy giving you a reality that you can deal with better than what life is giving you on a daily basis.

So after all this rambling my conclusion is..... watch it with an open mind and form your own opinion. Don't think about what you heard about because it does effect you.

also whether or not you like the movie the soundtrack is quite good. I is a collection of great songs that fits the movie and that you could lose your brain to doing a bad day.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

So there would be no point whatsoever to hide that I'm a HUGE fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. And i would be lying if i said that I hadn't been waiting for On Stranger Tides since, well since they started talking about making it. And I am happy to say that in no way was I disappointed when I FINALLY got to see it. I simply just love it! Once again Johnny Depp portraits the oh so lovely Captain Jack Sparrow in all his problems. Beside having lost The Black Pearl... well again... Jack also has an imposter running around trying to recruit a crew... is there any way this could not go wrong?

Nah.. and just like the first 3 movies you go on the hunt for riches, revenge and a bit of love.. and yet not quite the same. However going into details is a major spoiler alert. Not really up for doing that.

I do however feel the need to point something out. I've seen more than one person complaining about how On Stranger Tides doesn't tie with the first 3 movies. Some even seem to find it a bad thing that they made a Pirates without Elizabeth and Will. o.O

Well this is how it is.. The 3 first Pirates of the Caribbean is a trilogy. Their main theme is without a doubt the love story between Elizabeth and Will (apologies) and you must admit that this little story tied up in a nice little bow in At Worlds End.

Now Moving on to On Stanger Tides. Well first of it is left with the promise of being the beginning of a new Trilogy. I am not sure about the main theme yet but I don't really seems to care for it at the moment. The point being it has a NEW main theme. Therefor it should not suffer under the assumption that it just starts where the third movie left us. Savvy?

all there is left to say is.. there is a long long LONG time till 2013 where we should be so lucky to encounter Captain Jack Sparrow again in a fifth movie.
