The Gods Must Be Crazy (1984): this movie has such awful special effects and cinematography that i would swear it came out in the early to mid 70's. they sped up most of the footage to make it look like everyone is running 100 mph. and they did a horrible job matching up the voices in the soundtrack and the actual film. the quality of this film is beyond low budget. however. the story and concept are both very interesting and funny. i really grew attached to the main bushmen guy running around naked. it really helped that he really was a bushmen from africa in real life. and all the white people that were cast were all annoying, which was pretty much what they were supposed to do. and i think i saw morgan freeman in the tribe somewhere too. with so much national geographic boobies all over the place, how is this rated PG? anyways, after the movie was over, all i could think about was how retarded it was, but then it began to really grow on me. its definitely worth seeing and possibly worth buying.

The Gods Must Be Crazy 2 (1990): this is pretty much the exact same review as above. watching this movie you would think that it came out in the early 80's because again, its really bad. but i grew to love the african people even more in this one and the stupid americans are even dumber and more annoying. i think samuel l. jackson was in this movie. that guy's in everything! warning though: there are more half naked black people than you'll find in a california prison shower. but its very much worth seeing. you'll learn to like the movies.

Constantine (2005): don't ask me why, but for some reason i just couldn't get into this movie. the only thing i can think of was the plot because the fx were pretty decent and the acting was the same as any big action movie acting. maybe the plot was too thin. i guess there just wasn't much to it. i'm having a hard time describing why i didn't dig it. so for pretty much no reason in particular, don't see this movie. thought it was gonna be amazing but sadly mistaken. i just don't think i'm a fan of horror/action/demonic/monster movies such as this.

i've always had the feeling that i'd die young in life like around the age of 50 or so. you figure, i'm not the most active or healthiest eater there is. plus i just have always had that feeling i guess. anyways, did a death clock on the final destination dvd a couple days ago and was surprised to see that it said i'd die on may 27, 2020. little earlier than i had planned. granted, its just a stupid dvd so i won't worry too much. even if its true, still gives me time to go to law school, practice for a few years, and have a couple kids. then i did one yesterday online with my mom. that one gave me until 2035, which puts me at 54 which sounds about right.

as you can see, the blog has changed. at first i liked this nifty layout, but that was for like about 10 minutes. gotta find something new. it just takes so much time to make all the changes.

and i feel like an idiot when it comes to school. i've taken a class on probates and a class on family law. so when issues have come up since on both topics, of course i can't remember a flippin thing about them. and its basic stuff too. so of course that scares the crap out of me when i'm gonna have to know this stuff for real. i have to go to the lsat class tonight. if i don't do good on that test, all this gpa and letters of recommendation and internships aren't gonna mean crap. speaking of, i asked judge taylor again if he'd write a new letter of rec for my internships. i felt so bad doing it because i feel like i keep bugging him and i know he is so freaking busy. he already responded to my email but i'm afraid to open and see what he said. maybe i'll look at it tonight.

and aren't we glad about the new paris hilton thing? it couldn't have happened to a better person i think. nice phone pics she had too! someone needs to hack into her bank account and steal all of her allowance.
