Review Time

So movie watching may be getting less (harsh economic times on the horizon) but I still got to see this amazing little movie.

I'm gonna keep this bullet system going that I used for Harry Potter; seemed to work well.

-I basically wanted to see this movie because of Zooey Deschenal (who does NOT disappoint at all). But honestly I've seen her do insanely cuter and cooler stuff. But really the stand out in my opinion is Joseph Gordon-Levitt (yep the kid of 3rd Rock from the Sun and 10 Things I Hate About You). First of all, awesomely cute, and really just a great character and actor. The two of them make this movie impossible not to love.

-When they say this is not a love story; they're right. And it felt right at the end. Non conventional and that's a great thing.

-The soundtrack!! Juno caliber if not better in my opinion (of course I was not utterly in love with that soundtrack as others). I have a new appreciation for Regina Spektor (not sure if this is a good thing yet).

-Great supporting cast.

-Um no bad bullets for me to say about the movie


Now I'm ready for the sequel; 500 Days of Fall.

Go see this movie.

Why Saturday Will Never End

These girls just keep evolving. First single off the second album and why this group is gonna fill the Girls Aloud void while they're on hiatus.

Why they aren't trying to break the US yet I have no idea.

BTW; blog is back. Even epic personal tragedies can't kill it. Although I can't promise the huge breaks are gonna end. So just bookmark and keep checking occasionally.

I REALLY wanna see this now

I need to see this. Please let it be October NOW.

The Latest in Ploppy Music

So since i've been gone for weeks it's time to update you on the latest and greatest pop music out there.

First Up is my current obsession and I can't embed it so you HAVE TO CLICK THE LINK BELOW: It's Silly Boy by Eva Simons, who is best described as the love child of Rihanna and Lady Gaga. THIS is gonna be a HIT. PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okff4h9GM50



Speaking of Hits. Shakira's back and moving those hips and everything else. This is pure awesome and does NOT get old; this video only solidified the success of this song.



Fun, song with an awesome hook. Trust me this won't leave your head. Video is good but doesn't do the song justice.



Come on you always need some German pop in your day. No Angels is back and proving they still got it. And Boy do they; except Luci looks like she's stuck in the 80s. The bad 80s.



And the thing I'm least excited about. The Sugababes attempt to break America with what they view as our sound. I will say the song definitely grows on you but it takes A WHILE.

There you go; all caught up. DID YOU CLICK THAT EVA SIMONS LINK. CAUSE YOU SHOULD

Harry Potter Review

Ok so I've seen it twice now and this movie has got some serious problems. I can not FATHOM why the critics were so generous wait scratch that ON THEIR KNEES PRAISING this movie.

First off, the good parts:

1. The music; easily the best of the non-John Williams scores. Except I didn't like that the actual movie didn't include some of the best bits.

2. Small Character Moments: It was nice all the little bits that were added in. Minerva McGonagall had some of the best like at the end with her offering to talk with Harry. Hermione and Harry really showed just how good friends they are. Ginny (more on her later) desperately holding on to Harry after Dumbledore's fall. Slughorn's story about Lily and the fish. Stuff like that may not have been in the book but it was all a welcome addition.

3. The whole cave scene was practically perfect. I wish Dumbledore had warned Harry not to touch the water to make his decision to go down to get water from there was a bigger issue for Harry.

4. Slughorn. Different than the book (sorta like Umbridge) but I liked him nevertheless.

5. ARNOLD. Even though his screen time was brief; at least he got it. Tell that to Pigwidgeon

6. Dumbledore; even with a few flaws; easily Michael Gambon's best portrayal of the character.

7. Snape and Malfoy; Major props to Alan Rickman and Tom Felton for raising their game.

8. Hermione / Emma Watson; easily the break out star of the trio for this movie.

9. Bellatrix - Helena Bonham Carter - Need I say more. Oh and that PERFECT unbreakable vow scene.


Ok the issues and there are several.

1. WHY IS A 20 SOMETHING YEAR OLD HITTING ON A 16 YEAR OLD. Um that's illegal I believe.

2. The exclusion of a LOT of the memories. This makes me wonder how they'll set up the Hufflepuff cup and Ravenclaw diadam (not to mention it not being seen in the Room of Requirement). Also no explanation on how Dumbledore knew it was in the cave. Just lots of "it's dumbledore, he knows and can do anything, hell he can apparate on school grounds. Not like he needs to go to the Three Broomsticks or anythin... oh wait he DOES HAVE TO IN THE BOOKs. But anyway that's slightly forgivable.

3. Harry saying everyone had to try out to be on the team again ... what was Ginny exempt? favoritism makes a captain look bad.

4. TOO much Hormones; made the movie drag, and feel awkward. And honestly Lavender was a bit too over the top. Bellatrix? Over the top in a good way.

5. The destruction of the burrow. Um did we need that. Ok we needed action but really what's stopping the Death Eaters from waltzing in and killing all the Weasleys? Looks like nothing at all.

6. Ginny. Ok first of all I have NO problem at all with Bonnie Wright's portrayal. I feel that she just didn't have enough. And really how are we to believe at the end of Book 7 that they married. What? Just based on that INCREDIBLY SHORT KISS that was shorter and less passionate than his kiss with CHO? I was so looking forward to Harry just having a girlfriend for part of the movie. OH and Harry? Ron's ok with it. Oh good to know. Would have meant more coming from him of course.

7. Dumbledore's death. Wait Dumbledore died? Oh well


...


WTF THIS IS THE ONE GUY VOLDEMORT WAS SLIGHTLY SCARED OF AND HE'S GONE. WTF ARE PEOPLE GONNA DO. WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO HOGWARTS, THE ORDER, HARRY. WTF

There was none of that panic that made the situation feel so much worse than just losing a great character. No funeral. That I can take but at least give me Hagrid cradling Dumbledore's body. Or McGonagall at least looking more upset than shocked. I'm just gonna end by saying that I think the aftermath of Cedric's death should not have been more somber and sad than the aftermath of Dumbledore's death.

8. Harry you need us and can't do this without us. Because you're just not smart enough. Hermione was a bit too harsh on Harry here and Harry put up no fight. Book-Harry was so much more concerned about the safety of his friends. It's why he temporarily put him and Ginny on a break. It just didn't feel real and didn't give the urgency and hopelessness of Harry's task ahead of him.

Weird weird movie. They've put themselves into somewhat of a corner for Movie 7 and 8. I hope they get out of it. I have faith they will.

But for not this is probably my second to least favorite movie (chamber being last; Azkaban being first, Order being second).

Till next November

Coming Back from NonWonderland

Coming back quite soon; meanwhile check out everyone's obsession next March

work, work

Ok so I haven't been on here lately. That's cause it was a crazy weekend with friends and on top of that craziness during the week I just have endless amounts of work.

So the next three weeks updates will be scarce but here's a quick update of things:

Ryan Reynolds is Hal Jordan aka GREEN LANTERN. GREAT THING
Natalie Portman is Jane Foster in THOR. Also Great
Lady Gaga has 3rd #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40.

That's it for now. Don't worry this blog is not dead.

Included is my new favorite song from Brooke White (was on American Idol) called Radio, Radio.

Really...

http://www.hulu.com/watch/39814/saturday-night-live-macgruber-financial-ruin

Lorne Michaels is making a Macgruber movie. Only reason I would see it is Kristen Wiig is attached to it.

Also Dreamworks has acquired the rights to "Viewmaster" and want the writers of Transformers "to work some Transformers-style' magic on it"

Dear god what is happening to the movie business

Viva la Gaga

Yea I post a lot of the Gaga but that's cause she's that awesome.

This is a few months old but I just discovered it and it's awesome. She should do a whole album of covers.

August 24th is too far away

I've been watching her make this album for two years now; and we're finally a month and a half away.

If it's anywhere near as good as the snippets i heard it's gonna be awesome. Def. check it out.
