Robots (2005)

i am sooo bad at watching movies lately.. been munching series though... anywho its sunday and i actually felt like a a movie today... and Netflix was kind to suggest this fine one...

Robots is about a young robot boy, Rodney, who has grown up poor but dreams big. As a kid he listened to the greatest bot in the world Bigweld. Bigweld fed Rodney the wish to invent by saying that no matter the parts you can still shine. So after finding a need and tinkering around and a little advice to follow his dream, he travels to robot city to show his invention top Big Bot. But the road is long and it is not without trouble.

I actually went to the movies to watch this back when it came out. I did love it but somehow i never seen it again nor heard much about it in general. The movie is in short about a youngster from "the country" going into the big city and meeting all sorts of robots who either help him or try to stop him in making his dream. I love the humor in this one. It is sweet and refreshing and just makes you wanna follow your dreams.

oh and you will totally get the feels as Robin Williams is voicing in this one.

so there you have it a very under-appreciated cartoon for this Sunday :) enjoy

The Road to El Dorado (2000)

Over the years my bestie managed to teach me that Sundays are best spend watching animations... and well i do like my cartoons... and although i have been at work today or more because of it im in a brilliant mood for cartoons... but being a little tired i choose to go with one of my favorites...

The road to El Dorado is about 2 swindlers Miguel and Tulio who after an unfortunately ending of a street gamble - mainly going wrong because Miguel must have the map showing the way to El Dorado -  they end up on a ship bound to the new world (south america if i know my history correctly) The ships captain is not to thrilled by unwanted passengers on his ship wants to throw them of on cuba to work as slaves... Miguel and Tulio not to happy about the idea finds a way to escape and then the journey to find El Dorado.. 

so like i said an old time favorite of mine... i think i might at some point have watched it in English but this is one of the few animations i almost always watch in Danish just because the songs is sung by a danish artist called Bamse (danish word for teddybear just in case you were wondering) and well his music to El Dorado is as epic as Elton John is for The Lion King or Phil Collins to Tarzan... so yeah that is the reason why i always watch this one in Danish... also it actually have great humor in danish to meaning it was pretty well translated.. this is sadly not the case in the more modern animations... 

anywho enjoy your Sunday everyone ;) 

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.. 

Home Sweet Hell (2015)

oh the summer has finally showed up.. and i have the day off so in the best danish summer style... it is raining... so i figured to go nuts in movie lands.. mainly because i just bought a new game i'm currently downloading so streaming cold case was out of the question... anywho movie...

so what i gathered from the trailer we have Don, a salesman very much under his wife's thumb. anyway he somehow ends up with a beautiful salesgirl on the floor (lets just say it as it is he hires the girl) and then for some reason she is just all over him and well lets just go with 2 times a year scheduled sex is not good for any relationship. The fun then starts when wifey finds out that Don has been fooling around (i love how polite that can sound) with salesgirl.. and the only solution to this problem is?... yes we have to kill the girl... because that is what any sound person would suggest.. yessir... erhem.. cue trailer anyone..

honestly i was kinda torn at first with the trailer... here we have sweet Katherine Heigl being well anything but sweet and the way the story if the movie seems to go according to the trailer there would be a lot of places it could go horribly wrong... so where was the turner? well this might not be a proud moment but well it seems to turn out fine so here goes.. i have had the hugest movie crush on Jordana Brewster for as long as i can recall... she is properly the place my movie crushes started.... meaning at a point of time i had actually literally watched every movie but one that she has been a part of... i am how ever falling behind as she has been moving in genres i don't watch all that much and therefor have not been adding to my wanna watch lists...  anywho... she showed up in the trailer and i went from hm i don't know... - straight to --> I NEED TO WATCH THIS!!!!!

ehm yeah not proud not proud at all....

so i watched... and you know what? i'm glad i did... there was some blah moments in the movie but in general it was quite interesting... it had humor but i don't think i would go all the way to comedy.. but hey that's how it goes... i can say one thing.. who knew Katherine could be so creepy.. like whaaa she just hit a 100 on creepy on a scale from 1 to 10... taking my hat of here... that was amazing... if for no other reasons you should watch this movie just to see that.. 

other than that it is just a straight forward story of a man getting set up blackmail and intangled in a rather insane logic of his wife when he tries to fix things a bit (really sometimes you just cant fix things) and then well you just have to see the movie to know the last part... Enjoy ;) 

Stoneshearst Asylum (2014)

This is a fine example of me hating the trailer and yet being intrigued enough to watch it anyway... trust me when i say i'm glad i did.

Stonehearst Asylum is about okay okay Stonehearst Asylum. Or well its about a young medical school grad who comes to Stonehearst to gain some experience in the workings of asylems. Soon upon arriving though he for starters is taken by one of the patients whom he does not believe to insane and well given the movie takes place in a time where a man in a dress in considered insane and one of the cures for insanity is being hosed down with cold water fair change is she isn't. Anyway... he also seem to realize that something isn't as it should be and after a little trip to the basement well lets just say he's not entirely wrong...

now i do put trailers on but... if the text above does intrigue you please please please do not watch it... it will ruin so much for you... you be much better of getting the surprises within the movie,...

truely hate that trailer.. sadly it seem to be a thing in trailers these days to reveal pretty much the entire movie..... sometimes the trailers even seem better than the bloody movie... anyway the  movie the movie the movie

given that i did see the trailer beforehand and that i seem to have a slight ability to remember almost every piece of information i come in contact with i did know the major plot twist before even starting the movie.. which just plain sucked... this movie has so much potential, so much thought and ways of making you think about things and then a stupid trailer wrecked it.. how is this even remotely fair? I mean here we have a movie right up my alley with the whole human psyche as the center of the story and i bloody loved it.. i just hated the fact that i wasn't surprised by half the movie like i should have been... i did get a few surprises though don't worry but still..

anywho... this is actually a good movie and i think it might even be a more than once kind.. and if you did stay clear of the trailer i do recommend it more than a lot.. sadly for this movie the thing i find wrong with it is the trailer :(

The Book of Life (2014)

I have really looked forward to watching this one ever since i watched the trailer for it.. so in a weekend embraced by friends i finally got around to putting it on..

The Book of Life holds the stories of every person to have ever lived on this earth. One of these stories is about 3 friends; a girl and the 2 boys courting her. So on one night of the dead, La Muerte and Xibalba kinda makes a bet on which boy is gonna get the girl.,, La Muerte chooses Manolo, the boy who makes music from the heart and Xibalba chooses Joaquin, the boy who always fight for what is right.. After a small pig incident Maria however is sent away to become a proper lady (why is it this happens so much in movies). The fight between Manolo and Joaquin continues through the years and when Maria returns home the game is getting tougher... ending in Xibalba cheating a bit... so now the question is who will marry Maria and who is gonna rule the world of the remembered?

i dont really know why but the day of the dead has always intrigued me.. something about celebrating your dead loved ones instead of crying for them.. and the little i do know about the day of the dead is that it is a celebration in remembrance of those you love. anywho the movie.. I love that they chose to build the movie as a story told.. meaning you have these kids that are listening to a female guide telling them a story about a love triangle... and as a nice touch all the characters look like these little wood figurines that the guide are showing the kids.. to me that is a very nice detail. I also love that they have kept the drawing style in what i would know as Mexican culture (don't know if Mexicans would agree...) but generally the animations is complete and wonderful to watch... 

so with all this good said this movie must be perfect.. well sadly no... the animation is wonderful but they choose to totally sellout on the music.. using different love songs at cued moments.. thing is it just doesn't fit right.. if they had made music fitting the story with a Mexican style to it this movie would have earned top marks and in my book even a cult status.. this is how well carried out the animation and story is.. to bad they didn't give it all and gave it the proper music that it truly deserved...

anywho i do recommend it because even with the dreadful choice in music it is an above average movie...

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.... 

13 going on 30 (2004)

oh how school gets you out of the loop... or well just out of everybody's loop.... must say that movies has rolled over the screen way quickly but with not much memory of them.. does not really matter cause its been mostly my movie shelf that's been on the menu so not only can i watch them all again at some point when desired but also has they been watch a lot already... you know if you like it you buy it and that are the words i live by.. so yeah i love my movies ;)

anywho...13 going on 30... well think this is the girly version of Big with Tom Hanks.. and by that i mean we have our average unpopular teenage girl holding her 13th birthday and after a little thing with mean girls at her party she wishes very deeply to be 30.. and boom we have a 13 year old Jenna waking up in a 30 year old body.. not only that it is more like skipping time so body have lived 17 years with all the weird mistakes and choices that comes with that.. 13 year old Jenna however does not remember anything... making a really awkward morning with a naked man in the apartment and running around town in her negligee. And now to the fun part... finding out what she really wanted so she can go back to being well 13.

overly predictable sappy sweetness check, way to cute Jennifer Garner playing a 13 year old.. check... me totally embracing my girly side.. well double ehm maybe triple check that....

dont think there is that much else to say.. okay i admit it i'm terrible at reviewing chick flicks.. might be because im not that willing to admit that i love watching them buggers.. :) and the thing with chick flicks is they have to be predictable.. it has to be sappy and so sweet you almost gag.. why... well i think it might be a girly need for something romantic that we all know doesn't really exists in the real world.. it is a place to get lost in dreams....

Julie & Julia (2009)

uh lets take one from the shelf... i have been going through a small pet project of getting through my movieshelf.. can tell you that i'm near the first 50 movies... and i'm not even close to being halfway through.. ah it is good to be a moviemuncher...

so why Julie and Julia... well after watching a few action movies and not getting much done I figured that a movie about my subject would help.. thing is i'm in school at the moment and well the homework load is kinda high.. like way high.. like in i have even less social life than i do when i'm working... soo yeah well that would be why it has been a while since the last post.. anyway home work.. movies.. got a red string in this somewhere.. i hope..

Julie & Julia is about well Julie an almost 30 woman who feels stuck and uninspired at work and well only comfort she does have is cooking (i know that feeling)... then the thing happens.. the thing that puts everything in motion. One of Julies friends writes a horrible article and follows up with a blog.. Julie, who is in reality a writer who can't get published, is talking about that she could write a blog on her own... her boyfriend agrees and after a short assessment time they agree that Julie could write about cooking. Julie then decides that in order to actually stick to the blog she has to have a goal.. goal being going through all of the recipes in Julia Childs Cookbook. (which i'm kinda dying to get a hold of) in the course of one year.

so given this is on my shelf and i already clearly stated that i do not buy unless i like.. it would be fair to assume that this is one i love.. and i do.. 

as an aspiring cook myself (this would be the school part) i love pretty much everything about food.. much like Childs (or at least the portrait of her from the movie) i love the learning process the little tricks you get along the way and of recent even the designing of a plate (which i apparently have a small talent in) so the relations between both Julie and Julia is there for me.. and that it is a big big part of my love toward the movie

also i love the jump between Julie and Julia.. the thing is that both of them goes through a development throughout the movie.. Julie through her project and the small meltdowns along the way.. Julia through the process of first off getting allowed into the cooking courses in the first place (cooking like chefs were dominated by men...women was expected to stay home and look after their husbands and the itty bitty ones) and to starting the cookbook (which needed some reducing along the way) to actually being know and respected in the world of cooking.. and may i just add?... both Meryl Streep and Amy Adams are wonderful in this movie.. i do adore and admire both of them to begin with but that does not make this movie anything less..

well let's just end this with the wises words ever to be said... 

It is ALL about the Butter!

The Art of Getting By (2011)

oh boy oh boy a real review... 

sry for that... it has just been so dang long since i last wrote an actual review and not just random stuff popping up in my head. anywho shall we?

The Art of Getting By.... Well it is about George.. a social awkward teenager on his senior year. George is not big on school, homework or even assignments during class.. actually he is kinda weird with his head in the clouds or well the head is in a book looking over his amazing drawings that almost nobody ever get to see. Due to this lack of interest in school he get to see the principle quite often.. Anyway one day a girl hits up a conversation with him after school.. this girl being Sally.. Sally and George becomes really good friends.. but then as all good dramas go Georges life starts to crumple...

This was SOOOOO sweet... 

okay now that i got that out of my system lets go over  the movie.. it is a normal teenage drama flick thing but like more and more of the recent ones of these, i believe it to have a really good story and background theme.. George is feeling this type of rude depressing feeling toward school.. like what does it all matter.. trust me i get this feeling.. it is like that these days we live to slave our way through life, first in school to learn stuff that we later can use to slave away in a job so that we can make money to live for,... he also goes about life like he doesn't have anything to say to the world, kinda like he feels like a parasite that just tag along for the ride.. when he meets Sally or well think it is the other way round... she noticed him, making him become someone that stands out of the crowd for once... and quite early in the movie you get the fact that while most people are scared of dying (this seems to be the normal anyway) he is not scared of that.. he is scared about life.. scared of living it.. and i think that is the true core of this movie.. about not being scared of life.. about a young man that has to learn to live life and to become something, SOMEONE..

so as my earlier statement kinda implied this is a really cute movie.. a really warm one to.. made me feel really good afterwards even though i did hit a bumpy passage here and there (I am NOT crying... that much) and i like that in a movie.. and Freddie Highmore that plays George is just plain adorable..


Oh and I have just come to realize that I am having a movie crush on Emma Roberts so-ehm guess I'm gonna roam around IMDb and figure out what to watch next ;)

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... 

40 days and 40 nights (2002)

Where are all the manly movies.. seriously it's been all chick flicks so far... :|

anyway 40 days and 40 nights is about this guy Matt who after a lot of encounters with the fairer sex and this feeling of utter emptiness inside decides that it would be a awesome idea to go into celibacy for 40 days straight. And if this is not a pretty much impossible task on its own here we go and ad Erica, the nice hot girl from the laundry mat, that Matt of cause falls in love with... 

look i know that age wise this is a little off since it is about post college people meaning adults.. however this one has a special place with me because well i was 15 when this one came out.. and yes i have watched it a lot when i was younger.. it was actually a long time since i last saw it though and there was some scenes i had completely forgotten about. Anywho i do love the theme that it portraits because to me no normal person could ever live in absolute celibacy. People would go insane which Matt actually does in the movie.. not insane insane but insane enough (boy that sounded a little crazy) I even discuss this theme every now and then (i don't discuss that often though) that it is just wrong for the Catholic churches to ask this of their priest and in my opinion this celibacy thing might be at fault for some of the cases surfacing over the years about priest because it is about generally suppressing a huge part of what a human is.. anyway the movie is a great chick flick and it has good humor.. and a lot of cruel people not believing Matt can do this... 

18 year old virgin (2009)

all right first movie of the day...

18 year old virgin... is about.. Kate... Kate is a 18 year old virgin (didn't see that one coming right). we step into the story last night before graduation and yes you guessed it we are at a party... well THE PARTY... anywho.. Kate has this huuuuuuge crush on Ryan who is well the pretty boy of school.. however Ryan do not sleep with virgins due to some unfortunate happenings after the last time he nailed a virgin. So what do Kate do.. right she uses the party to try and lose her virginity... sound stupid well it is...

so along to help her is a very slutty (and slightly cute) best friend that keeps convincing her to go back in and try after way to many failed attempts. And truth be told this is not really a noticeable movie.. i remember watching it before and the plot twist was way to obvious and well.. just don't

so what is wrong with it.. you mean beside the poor sense of a story line... well this is a really good example on a chick flick wannabe laddish and therefor ends in between and sadly flops big time.. It is like they decided to take a chick flick and then squeeze every type of sex scene possible into one movie.. and well they got all that and really i don't even think guys find it enjoyable.. it is just painful and not really funny..

and really who the hell uses raw chicken breast to stuff their bra so it looks like they have a bigger cup size.. really it is just gross... yuk

100 Girls (2000)

heads up i might be slightly grumpy today... not the movies fault i just had the misjudgment yesterday that i was young and up for drinking until 4 am... i am not :| definitely not.. however i had fun and now that i manged to make myself make breakfast it is going a bit better.. bacon can save anyone.. but i am proberbly gonna end up watching just a few movies today while lying in bed and eating bacon (seriously not trying to make you jelly here...)

so a 100 girls... please don't let the title fool you this is a chick flick.. big one... a lot of half naked girls in it though.. that would be a plus to some..

anywho 100 girls is about this boy Matthew who one night after a party ends up with a girl in an elevator during a blackout... they have according to him the most wonderful sex of his life (also his first i think) but he doesn't know her name or what she looks like either except her breast fit in a champagne glass.. (not making it up really) oh and she leaves him a pair of underwear... now Matthew is a bright kid apparently so he makes up these different maintenance problem so that he can come and fix them day after day leaving him a chance to prior through the girls stuff to find the matching bra... kinda like a Cinderella thing but with underwear.. after a while he befriends a lot of the girls and gains a lot of knowledge on how girls are like

this one has always been a favorite of mine.. think it is the deal with me being closet romantic and... well there is a lot of half naked girls and i just don't mind looking XD.. i do really like the concept of the guy not just trying to find the girl but actually trying to get girls and why there is so much trouble with boys and girls to get along.. so basically i'm saying it is a little deeper than most boy-trying-to-get-the-girl-romantic-chick-flick-thingy....

i have learnt that there should be a follow up called 100 women or Girl Fever.. but never really gotten around to watch it... i might but i have read my share about it to know it is probably gonna disappoint me....

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

This is like the ultimate Teen Chick Flick... i mean.. I even forced my sister to watch this back when we was younger... it i
s a classic and even i know that Heath Ledger is a cutie...

ah the story of the Straford sisters... Kat and Bianca is sisters very different sisters... Kat is outspoken and not really into being nice to anyone.. Bianca on the other hand likes to be the center of attention. So why are we onto their story? well the Straford sisters are not allowed to date.. or well Kat is but she is not really into that stuff being as she is... Bianca is not thrilled by this since she really wants date. Daddy dearest comes up with the idea that Bianca can date when Kat does.. and here comes New guy into the picture. New guy Cameron is hopelessly in love with Bianca so he comes up with the plan of getting someone to date Kat so he can date Bianca... tadada Bad boy (played by Heath) comes in...

Like i said this is a classic and any girl ought to watch.. i mean it.. there is just so many bright moments in this one and yes i enter rollercoaster land on this one to.. i rarely admit it but i am such a girly girl sometime.. like come on my favorite romantic movie is 6 days and 7 nights.. anywho.. this is a funny and sweet movie and i have been recommending it for years...

oh wow this is the third post today and i'm already watching a new one.. someone got bitten by the movie muncher bug

#1 Cheerleader Camp (2010)

and i decided to go alphabetical... i have watched this one before so it made it easy for me to do other stuff while watching.. if you have not heard of this one don't worry... it is not that great a movie..


what is it about.. it is about this boy Michael who is to do janitorial work on a cheerleader camp... very much against his parents wishes... Michael is a gymnast that choked during a competition. Michael of cause meets this cute and unlucky girl who needs all the help she can get to win the cheerleader camp competition. oh and there is this gross roommate on the masturbation diet... yeah alrighty then..

this movie loses so much on trying to be a in between... it want's the romance and "sophistication" of a chick flick and tries tries tries to be funny in a laddish way.. sadly that flops BIG TIME!

basically.. just don't go there unless you are into the really bad jokes..

oh a short one.. finished before the 15 min mark in the movie... yeah it is that bad.. but the beaver costume girl is adorable... really... but sadly not enough

Frozen (2013)

FINALLY!

i was so looking forward to this one.. and for quite some time to... i even set up to watching it and my besties wasn't up for it since he wanted us to watch it together... so i waited.. last weekend (oh i know it's like i live on another planet these days) we got around to watching it and i was not even the slightest disappointed.. . might be the love i have for all them animations... anywho...

frozen is about 2 siblings a strained from each other after a small accident one night when they were kids... so they grow up pretty much alone all the time.. when the oldest sister Elsa comes of age she is crowned which require a small (like huge) party.. during the party the younger sister Anna falls for this guy and decides that marriage is a great idea... Elsa isn't really up for that idea and in a state of anger she lets her powers of ice show and well then the trouble kinda starts and Elsa runs away leaving everyone else confused and slightly scared of their new queen. Anna on the other hand just wants to get her sister back and that leaves her with only one choice... go get Elsa back... yeah that sounds like an awesome idea...

yeah i was one of those people who found the video with Olaf and Svend and shared it with basically everybody who let there guard down just for a minute... anywho Frozen... well i know enough stories to know that this is an interpretation of the Snow Queen. also i'm danish.. H. C. Anderson is kinda mandatory... but well pretty much all Disney movies is interpretations of fairy tales... I love those and i love this... i love this a lot actually. It is about sisterly love, it is about finding yourself and mostly it is about being free and accept who you really are instead of hiding.. 

and as a bigger sister i can recognize small things that are just things sisters do... and even more.. i think it really captures how siblings just love each other unconditional... well most siblings do though... and that is like the thing little girls all over the world is gonna see to... and lets face it this is a fairy tale for girls.. well most Disney's are by the way...  

 

well now i'm just gonna go back to singing along to this wonderful movie that i'm gonna love owning in the nearest future :D 

Black Swan (2010)

So back to movie land... it's been a sort of long vacation for me as i have been doing series for quite a while now... actually have a post waiting to be finished... anywho... went to the bottom of my wanna-watch list (yes i'm weird like that) and there i found Black Swan. Litterally been on there for ages(well you know) and i have been told it would be a good watch... thing is i'm not overly happy about Natalie Portman whereas my buddy is a huge fan... Mila Kunis on the other hand i find kinda cool.. but the movie is clearly about Portman's role... soo yeah takes me a while sometimes...

anyway Black Swan... Well who doesn't know the story about the Swan Lake? okay i will tell but just because i can.. The Swan Lake is about a Princess turning into a white swan.. only way to turn her back is the true love stuff and when mister right turns up he is seduced by evil sister the black swan... making the white swan sad enough to commit suicide... sorry for spoilers there

Now that we got that down lets go on to the movie.. Black Swan is about a NY ballet group that are going to start the season with an interpretation of the Swan Lake... (swan lake is produced a lot in many many variations) For the production Nina is chosen for the lead role as both the white and the black swan.. However where her White Swan is perfect she is struggling a bit with the black swan. Mainly because she has trouble with letting herself go...

oh yeah right have to talk about it to.. well ehm where to start.. the movie isn't bad.. it is rather weird than anything else.. i do get what is going on in it though.. Nina is clearly a troubled young woman.. she has been psychology abused by her mom.. not in a deliberately mean way though.. Nina's mom just been living her dreams through her daughter in an extend that makes Nina strive to be absolutely perfect.. a thing most of us know to be impossible... giving this pressure to be perfect Nina's mind crumbles and she gets lost in various delusions (the fancy name for this is psychoses)...this is ultimately a struggle between her innocence and her desires. Or to link it to the ballet world her white and black swan.. thing is her innocence is not natural and only exist because of the constant pressure from her mom and the over protectiveness that comes of it.. underneath is the desires and fears of a young woman trying to be herself.. which i take is hard when mommy dearest tend to be sleeping in a chair next to your bed..

The movie does come with an interesting concept and i did enjoy it for the most parts.. the ballet dancers helping with the movie did a good job and well the actors weren't half bad either.. and the music.. well i can really be a sucker for classical music so i was all happy there.. hm really should get my act together and try going to the ballet one of these days..

Compulsion (2013)

You know about that thing about YouTube getting me into trouble...well yeah this is another fine example.. like i said in my last post i was doing a bit of surfing on the subject of Wentworth when YouTube was kind enough to suggest me to watch Heather Graham Snogging Carrie-Anne Moss... (i have absolutely no idea why YouTube keeps suggesting movies like that.. no sirrie)... anyway since i'm a major fan of Heather i watched it and i kinda liked it.. it was a bit weird and that curiosity thing kicked in.. so i figured out what movie it was so that i could watch the trailer...

ehm can you say HOOKED?

i mean look at that delicious food... really.. it almost made me hungry... even if there wasn't a good chance at looking at boobs trying to escape (which has high chance of happening in this one by the way) i still just simply had to watch.. i mean its food.. 

anywho where was i... (yes i actually had to get up and find myself some food...) the movie right.. hmm the movie... so yeah heather portraits this INSANE lady Amy that likes to cook and really dreams of having her own cooking show called Amy's Food for Love... don't know who she channeled here but it is very cute and insanely creepy... like every time she is in the kitchen pretending she is on TV i get a little scared... Anywho.. Amy finds out that her neighbor is the celebrity Saffron (play by the lovely Carrie-Anne.. surprise) a woman she has been in love with since childhood.. after Amy dumps her fiance in a rather disturbing way she starts obsessing with feeding Saffron who isn't overly happy about this... they do in some weird way start to come close like friends or maybe even lovers (as i already told they were snogging) 

however... to me it feels like the movie wraps up way to quickly... you have this long build from strangers to friends and then all of a sudden Saffron goes missing and you really don't get a clue toward what actually happened or really why.. i got a small idea since the movie leaves a lot to self interpretation but i just i don't know it was just to fast.. like this long build that was quite interesting just hit an anticlimax and just rolled over and died... oh well at least there was some pretty things to distract you a lot along the way 

 

and not even a small hint about them being 17 and 20 years older than me (oh my Heather has the same age as my mom...) they are some fine young women to look at... and trust me Carrie-Anne is absolutely adorable with her big glasses on...

Despicable Me 2 (2013)

Gru is BACK!!!!

so yeah when i first heard of the coming of a second despicable me movie i had a lot of doubt... a lot!... i had a problem seeing how they were gonna pull it of.. giving the whole ending of the first one.. but then then the trailers started showing up... 

so according to the trailer... Gru has become the loving father of the 3 kids Margo, Edith and Agnes... and then he gets kidnapped by the anti villain league and then he is gonna save the world... with evil minions?

so as the good movie watcher i am i of cause roamed around youtube finding this little baby

so yeah screwed up as i am i loooooove this evil minion.. and the video above has given room for a lot of laughter... like i don't have to watch it anymore to be laughing way to hard... so yeah i was looking forward to these little guys making fun all over the screen...

sooo i was in the movies with my friends and trust me the movie is hilarious... i was laughing like a mad man throughout the movie.. 

just to clarify... Gru has gone legit, making jellies and jams... or well trying to.. then he do get kidnapped by anti villain league in order to offer him a job saving the world... he ends up taking the job being assigned the crazy kidnapping lady as his partner. during all of this someone decides to kidnap all the cute minions making them into evil minions.. 

so the evil minions in the movie was not as funny as anticipated.. to be honest i was a little disappointed.. but giving i was laughing my way trough it i have to admit that i truly loved this one.. it is filled with jokes craziness and so on.. and Agnes is just the most adorable thing in the world.. and there was a great story within it.. more than what i recall from the first one.. 

BANAHNAAA!
