DVD of the Week: I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell

Week Eleven of my DVD of the Week Post is....

I'M SOOOOOO SORRY!!! I know it's week twelve, and this is just the week eleven post....but I got caught up in life. So, shut up! Okay...soo....this movie is called I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, it's based on the book of the same name, it's pretty funny. And it has Jesse Bradford(from Clockstoppers and Bring It On) in it...I haven't seen him in a film in awhile, so this made me kind of happy. But the main actor, Matt Czuchry....SUCKS!!! I cannot stand him!!! I would recommend this film solely for Jesse Bradford, whose character was my favorite in the film....his character is a video game addict that just broke up with his girlfriend because she cheated on him for some rapper and he ends up falling for some stripper who has a son that is just like him(yes..I realize this is a runon sentence, but I don't feel like making it proper)... even though the main actor is a horrible actor...I still quite enjoyed this movie.... 2.8 out of 4....yes, I'm probably gonna start putting ratings on most of these to make it more obvious how I feel. K? okay.

DVD of the Week: Penelope

Week Ten of my DVD of the Week Post is....

So, this whole "blogging thing" is pretty fun. And time seems to be flying. Can't believe we're already on week ten. So...last week I was planning on having this big "WEEK TEN" blog as some special movie that meant a lot to me. But I just realized that there's less than 2 hours until it's time for the "week eleven" blog, so I went into my room, closed my eyes, and picked a movie....but I didn't like the movie I picked, so I moved my finger two movies over and came across "Penelope". I absolutely ADORE this movie. I have watched this several times.

And I. Love. Every. Single. Stinking. Actor. That. Is. In. This. Twist. On. Fairy. Tale. Movie. And. Yes. This. Whole. Word. Then. Period. Thing. Is. Getting. Quite. Annoying. So,. I'll. Stop. Now. :)

Christina Ricci played Penelope beautifully, my eyes were pretty much glued to the screen the entire time. And James McAvoy is always a great choice as a romance character in a comedy film. And Catherine O'Hara, if I were blessed, and given up for adoption...I'd want Catherine O'Hara as my adoptive mother.. xD

If you havn't already seen this...go see it. It's very cute and a nice watch.

Your Turn

I'm trying to get away from the usual junk films I watch, for awhile. So, everyone who is reading this should now comment below and tell me you THREE favorite films you watch. If I haven't already seen it, I'll make it my top priority to watch it and blog about it. Any movie. Let's see what you got..

DVD of the Week: The Fourth Kind

Week Nine of my DVD of the Week Post is....

Alien Encounter of The First Kind: Sighting
Alien Encounter of The Second Kind: Evidence
Alien Encounter of The Third Kind: Contact

And Alien Encounters of The Fourth Kind.... Abduction.

So, before I watched the movie, with my friend Kayleah, I posted on Facebook "Opinions on The Fourth Kind, anyone?". Other than the one "like" I got, there were two comments, and they were partly opposite of one another. One friend of mine said that the movie is "scary as f$@!" and that she "couldn't walk out the door" after watching it. So, my thought was oh no, mixed with awesome, cause horror movies and I don't go way back. The other friend said the movie was "dumb but pretty creepy". Which I tried not to let get to me, cause most of the time I won't ask opinions on movies until after I've already seen it, or else I start worrying if the movie is going to be lame or not and that usually ends up ruining the movie for me. 

Well, this movie wasn't very dumb. I found the storyline to be quite interesting and intense. I absolutely LOVED how they did the whole split screen with the actor and "real person". That made the movie much cooler, and quite unique. But it was not scary at all, just EXTREMELY creepy. Near the end, my palms and feet were sweating, but there was not a single point in this film I actually jumped. Kayleah did though xD

"This film "purports to be based on actual events occurring in Nome, Alaska in 2000, in which Dr. Abigail Tyler(portrayed by Milla Jovovich, of the Resident Evil franchise) uses hypnosis to uncover memories from her patients of Alien abductions" (Wikipedia). But it was later found out to be untrue. Universal Pictures just did what was done with Paranormal Activity, make it seem like it is based on actual events to draw in a crown. Cause, in all honesty, before I Wikipediaed the film, I believed it actually happened, which made it even more creepier. So, Universal had the right idea.

I CHALLENGE THEE

I challenge thee....TO A DUEL!!! I wizard duel that is!! So, it is exactly 25 days until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows PART ONE comes out into theaters (part 2 comes out in 3D in 263 days).

And my challenge for my dozen blogger followers (3 of those followers are probably me), is to watch each and every(six) Harry Potter film up until the release date on November 19th. You could watch one every 3 days from now. You could watch one every day, starting on November 13, leading up to that Friday. Or you could start at 8 a.m. on November 18th, my 18th birthday, just fyi, and watch all the films nonstop, with an hour for driving/eating time, so you can make it to the midnight premier.

Personally, I'm probably just going to watch them at random times and random dates on spaces of the timeline up until then. Most likely, just when I feel like it. I'll probably start tonight, cause I kind of feel like it. But oh well, I'm going to watch them. And that's all that matters.

For you stupid people...the films are as follows, and in this order...

• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
• Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

So get out of here and go watch 'em before I Avada Kadavara your ass. O.O

*Photos are in order of films...last one being the newest poster for the HP7pt1*

Who knew?

Apparently, the Savoy 16 has a free fall matinée every Saturday and Sunday at 9 & 10 a.m. until the fourteenth of November. Just found this out, wish I would have know about this sooner(since it starts mid September). Yes, I know...it's a tad bit early to get up and go to a movie on a Saturday/Sunday. But you know what....IT'S FREE..and nothing's better than Free. These do have 15 minute intermissions, probably cause it's so early and people need some move-around time.

October 30th and 31st: The Last Airbender...and i'll probably end up going to see this for my dad's birthday since he hasn't gotten to see it...it'll be my third freakin time seein this.

November 6th and 7th: Ramona and Beezus...which I have yet to see yet, so I may force the little ones to go with me to see it.

And the last one of the season is November 13th and 14th: Despicable Me...which is an AWESOME movie!! Love this movie so much, I kinda want to go see it again just because it was that awesome. And for a few giggles from my limited readership..."IT'S SOOO FLUFFY!!!!" :-)

Yes, these aren't brand new movies. But who care. FREE!!!

DVD of the Week: Steamboy

Week Eight of my DVD of the Week post is....

This is the most expensive full length Japanese film to date, and was in production for TEN YEARS. The film revolves around a young 13 year old James "Ray" Steam( English voiced by Anna Paquin) living in an altered form of Manchester, England. It mainly takes place in a warped science fiction 19th Century London. His main objective throughout most of the film is to protect the newly invented(by Ray's Grandfather( English voiced by Patrick Stewart)) steamball. It's mainly just a back and forth of who's the bad group of characters in the book. First you think the dad is bad, then the grandpa, then just blah! Idk. 

The movie has a good storyline. And the historical fluctuations dealing with all the machinery and technology take overs was pretty cool. But suggestion before watching: take a nap. Even though the film is a only a little over 2 hours, it seems to go on forever at points because two hours is two long for an anime movie. I paused it multiple times so I could walk out of the room and take a break. And about the half way mark, I did fall asleep... but all-in-all, the film was a good watch. Especially the last 30 minutes or so, so much action and destruction, VERY INTENSE stuff!! I would highly recommend it.
