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 :)

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 :)

Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)

So a friend of mine popped this on one night and boy I have to say WOW!
Repo! The Genetic Opera is like this lost pearl that I never heard of. Which is a real shame because it is just that great. It's like an instant classic and it should be on any movie buff's watch-list.

So what exactly is Repo! The Genetic Opera? Well it's a really cool musical. Yiiks they're singing? Yeah a lot, but in a good way. The songs are really awesome and dark which I must admit I'm somewhat addicted to (welcome to the darkside...) guess it makes me in a good mood. weird hu?. Anyway evil singing aside. Repo! is about a future where you'd need surgery to survive.. also a lot of people seems addicted to these lifesaving surgeries. The base to the story is that when you get these surgeries you either pay a lot of money or end up in debt to the Geneco company. And if you don't pay your debt in time it's allowed to send the repossession man after you. Shorten down to the Repo man.

Back to the singing I might have mention this before but the soundtrack to this movie is just awesome. Like really catchy. Seriously after first watch (yeah I watched it a couple of times by now) I was humming the songs while at work... if you don't believe take a look at this song below ;-)

now go out and get this movie.. and get part of the cult world...
