So, let's start this post off with my thoughts on Transformers...


Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
I loved this film. It was action from start to finish and some of the characters were brilliant, mostly the twins, I loved the twins. I was laughing for most of the film and although the plot was a little predictable it was still really good.
I'd give it a 8/10.


Now, back to the boring bit where I complain about my life for a bit :P
I had some trouble sleeping last night so I'm not in the best of moods right now, didn't get to sleep until around 4am and then I woke up at 7am. 3 hours of sleep is definitely not enough for me. And on top of that I'm still not feeling all that great, granted I haven't taken my pill that I'm supposed to take whenever I wake up so that my anxiety doesn't make me feel ill...I think I'll do that in a second. I've switched my blog writing around a little and decided to write this one as soon as I woke up instead of before I went to bed so I'll be keeping this blog post open all day and writing in it as I watch films or whatever and then I'll publish it before I go to bed, I think this system will work better for me.


I've got a few new films lined up for watching today which I'm semi-excited about. None of them really make me want to watch them right now so I probably won't watch them until I've had something to eat and actually gotten out of my bed. (Yes, I know it's almost 2pm but I like lying in my bed, it's warm and comfy, plus my laptop is sitting next to it so I don't need to move anywhere to get the internet :)) Man, I'm really lazy. I blame having nothing to do with my days. I'm totally rambling now because I'm trying to put off getting up XD


...


Alright, I'm finally up and I've started watching the films I had planned for today so here's the basic breakdown of them.

1. Gamer
Quite an interesting film. The idea behind it intrigued me but it was mostly the actors who were in the film that made me want to see it. It's not a great film but it's not bad, it held my interest but that was again mostly due to the actors in it. My favourite moment in the whole film was a scene with Michael C. Hall about 3/4 of the way through the film. Anyone who knows me and watches this film will know the scene when they see it, all I'm saying is I never thought I'd see Dexter dancing lik that ;)
I'd give it a 6.5/10.

2. The Maiden Heist
This is a good film, funny from start to finish. It's a feel good film that made me smile. Nothing else to say.
I'd give it a 8/10.


3. A Perfect Getaway
This film has kind of a slow start to it but the suspence builds around halfway through. Unfortunately not a lot happens, it's a bit of an anti-climax. The plot's a little confusing at times and at other times it's plain boring. The ending was a little lame but I don't think it was entirely predictable.
I'd give it a 5/10.

4. Inglourious Basterds
I found this film to be quite boring. It really didn't appeal to me at all and there's not a lot else I can say about it.
I'd give it a 2/10.

Not the best movies I've ever seen but they were still good, for the most part.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

So this is how it all begins.

It's Tuesday, October 27th, I should be looking forward to going to college in a few days to learn all there is to learn about 3D Animation and see my friends etc. etc. but I'm not. I'm sitting on the couch wondering what crap I can do to fill the hours of the day where I'm stuck sitting in the house all day. Long story short, having to drop out of college sucks. I mean it really sucks. And to top it all off I've not been feeling all that great over the last couple of days. I'm hoping that all clears up and I'm feeling okay for going out on Friday so I can at least see my friends for a while and pretend I'm still normal.

But back to why I thought I'd start a blog. I need something to fill a little of my time and I thought that this would be a good way to do it. Any unlucky person who actually reads what I type, well you get to put up with my ranting about random things and my endless rambles about movies and TV shows that I watch...and trust me when I say I watch a lot of movies.

So, one thing that I'm definitely going to be doing everyday is giving a rundown of the movies I've watched. I feel obligated to tell everyone what I think of any film that I might have watched during the day. Bear(not sure if that's the way to spell it but it sounds the way I would say so it'll do) with me, it's a little ray of sunshine on my otherwise cloudy day :P

I've watched...umm 5 films today so far. Here's the basic breakdown of them.

1. G.I Joe
When I first saw the trailer for this film I didn't think it looked all that great, it didn't grab my interest like most films do. But I saw it today and I have to say I was impressed. The acting was good and the action scenes were excellent...most of the time. The plot was a little predictable and boring at times but it held my interest and a few of the characters were interesting enough to actually make me laugh a few times.
I'd give it a 7/10.

2. The Tournament
I'd never heard of this film before yesterday but I was intrigued by the title as to what the film might be so I thought I'd watch it anyways. The film has non stop action from start to finish and is quite gory at times. The plot is again predictable but is still enjoyable if you love films where it's non stop bloodshed from start to finish. A few of the characters kept me interested in the film, especially the priest who kept swearing.
I'd give it a 9/10.

3. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Not the kind of film I'd usually watch but I wanted something a little different from the rest of the films I watched today. It's the usual soppy romance. Boy met girl, boy screwed up, boy eventually gets girl. It's a similar plot thread to A Christmas Carol, but only in the fact that the guy is visited by three ghosts.
I'd give it a 5/10.

4. Surrogates
When I saw the trailer for this film I didn't really know what to expect from this film but it was good enough to capture my interest. The storyline is a little dull but the idea behind the film is interesting. There wasn't really anything special about this film in my opinion.
I'd give it a 4/10.

I'm watching Transformers Revenge of the Fallen just now so I'll let you know what I think of that tomorrow but I can tell you that right now I'm enjoying it. :)

I need to figure out something to say at the end of these things so it doesn't just randomly stop but I can't be bothered to figure out something just now so you're all just gonna have to deal with it.
