The Forgotten (2004): not a bad movie i guess. they sure wasted no time in getting to the point to begin the story. i'll admit that the storyline was original and there was an okay twist to end the movie (although this "twist" is of very little importance when all is said and done). the scary moments were also very inventive, but used in way much like movies like Scream used. they were cheap shots using loud noises to just scare the crap out of the audience as much as they could. i'd much rather have movies that build the suspense to scare us. i did hope we could learn more about the "bad guys" and not just see some creepy guy walking around. there were a few plot holes, but it did deliver as far as entertainment goes. and for that reason, i guess i'll have to say to see it.
Envy (2004): sadly it was as bad as everyone has said it was. i didn't give my first big laugh until 29 minutes into the movie, and even then it wasn't anything black or stiller said but came from christopher walken. i was so hoping he'd be the saving grace of the movie as he sometimes can be for crappy movies like this, but in the end, he was as bad as the rest. i don't know what happened. i guess i would just blame it on the writers and their terrible script. the story is kinda funny in itself and the camera work i thought was decent. i just looked up the writers and turns out they have next to no experience in writing comedic movies. they just weren't funny enough. and come to find out after watching the whole movie, you never do learn where the shit actually goes!! you would think they'd clear that up. oh well. don't see. you wanna see a good black/stiller movie, go buy cable guy biotch!
Sylvia (2003): lets get one think straight first. i love gwyneth paltrow. she is freaking amazing in every way. in fact, it was sad to turn her away to marry kim. i know her was heart broken, but i knew it was for the best. hey, if it wasn't for me, she wouldn't be rockin out with chris martin. anyways, a whole nutha story for another time. i didn't like this movie though. i didn't like shakespear in love either. just not entertaining enough. don't get me wrong, this movie is great for those who like dramas and love poetry to death. but since there is no one in the world like that, no one will like the movie. since she is in it though, you could just watch the movie and put it on mute the whole time. i might recommend that, but otherwise don't see it.
WOOHOO!! i got new pants! i got new pants! you know it baby! got some sweet snowboarding pants yesterday and they are freakin tight. they are these khaki volcom ones so after i got them we walked around a bit and decided it might be hard to find a matching jacket for it. that'll be on the next paycheck anyways so i don't have to worry too much. hopefully today we'll go and get some gloves for us.
this week was the easiest most laid back week in school i've had this semester. i felt like i did nothing. actually now that i think about it, i really did do nothing, or shall i say, got nothing accomplished. that's what weekends are for right? all in all, it was a good week. next week starts week 7. can you believe it?!? going by kinda quick. the best part is that family law only has 6 more lectures left for the semester. have i mentioned how i hate that class?
