The Boat That Rocked @ Pirate Radio
First of all the title changes sucks! I love the original title
(“The Boat That Rocked”) rather than (“Pirate Radio”).
Just curious... can't see anything too offensive or unagreeable
about "The Boat That Rocked". It was a hell of alot better of a title.
Anyway, O me gosh! Wat a bloody brilliant movie..! LOL-tastic!!
dis is the first movie i ever saw everyday for about a week straight..
i know all the lines and songs by heart.. i tot it was pure escapist fun,feeling generally nostalgic and cool about the legacy of the 60s fashion and music, an amazing soundtrack with the likes of The Rolling Stones,The Kinks, Dusty Springfield, The Hollies, Jimmy Hendrix, Buddy Holly, and many many more ( little surprise Beatles not in it), with the charismatic Bill Nighy (Adopt me , pls!!!) and a bunch of other not-quite-so-ordinary eccentric characters like “The Count” (a big, brash, American god of the airwaves), Gavin (the coolest DJ), Dr Dave (Big.. but very Beautiful), Felicity (lesbian cook), Young Carl & ‘Midnight’ Mark ( yummy & sexy as hell), Angus "The Knut" Knutsford & Simon Swafford ( funniest, wackiest characters). And it's 60s Rock'n'Roll partying in the true 60s sense of the word. And The dvd commentary is freaking highlarious ( other than Tropic Thunder of coz). The deleted scenes even more highlarious. It’s a shame it didn’t make into the movie like the “Radio Sunshine” scene ( Radio Rock’s rival), “The Meaning of Life” scene ( best Rolling Stones’s song are in it) and my favorite scene ever, “Spike Seattle and the Beatles” (they went to Abbey Road, and salute to the Fab 4).
(500) Days of Summer
"This is not a love story. This is a story about love," the narrator states as "(500) Days of Summer" begins. It was bursts with originality, screams out a shattering cry of creativeness, and breaks the cliché ozone layer, soaring off into a universe of uniqueness and inspired awe. (500) Days of Summer can be summed up as Juno meets Annie Hall. I found myself laughing out loud at many of the scenes, but the laughs in the theater were few, and I think most people would label this a drama with streaks of black comedy. Following Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Summer (Zooey Deschanel) through their
roller-coaster relationship of 500 days, the film never takes the fairy tale route of most romantic comedies. "(500) Days of Summer" is wholly accurate and one of the most, if not THE most, realistic film I have ever seen on the concept of love. Its characters are real, its ideas are real, and its heart is real. I smiled for days on end after viewing.
Up
There’s alot of animated movie this year, but my personal favorite is Up. As an avid lover of Wall-E, I felt Pixar could never reach those heights again. I was wrong.Up's story will probably seem peculiar at first glance. An old man as a protagonist? It definitely blew my expectations. The first 5 minutes demolished every other Pixar feature just because it was the first time I cried for an animated feature.This just shows how much heart there is to the movie. The classic montage of Carl and Ellie’s life together is so sweet, incredibly romantic and my oh my how the old man loves his wife (wish i cud find LOVE LIKE THIS *squeal*). The movie literally has everything.Amazing visual effects.Amazing sound.Hilarious comedy. Breath taking action.Heart.All those combined equal something special. Today's movies like to blow you away with gimmicks, Pixar is different.
Each movie shows soul and UP definitely has it.
Sherlock Holmes
What a ride. "Sherlock Holmes" left me giddy. I absolutely loved it.
It was thrilling, funny, stylish, fast-paced and brilliantly acted.
Holmes' trademark summing up and explanation at the end is
perhaps the one enjoyable scene in the film. Robert Downey Jr. is
a delight to look at *yum*. He eats up the screen. He gives the
character all sorts of mannerisms and nuances which really bring
Holmes to life like never before. The chemistry and interplay
between him and Jude Law is hilarious, uproarious.I’m a big fan
of Rachel McAdams's performance, but I felt she just didn't bring
as much to the table as the others (Kinda like Katie Holmes in
Batman Begins) because the script never decides what to do with
her beyond setting up the shadowy, sequel-hinting presence of an
accomplice called Moriarty ( is it Brad Pitt???). Too often she and
Law are competing for scenes. We want more Law!!!! Guy Ritchie
really outdoes himself here. The way he uses the camera, the motion, the fluidity, the snappy pacing - I loved every minute of it.
A really fantastic movie. Well done.
Inglourious Basterds
It just goes to show how wrong you can be. I had not expected
to like this film.Quentin Tarantino rewrites history in the uproarious,
provocative, and entertaining "Inglourious Basterds." Inglorious
Basterds makes no apologies, asks for no forgiveness, it's a no holds
barred assault on the senses. Tarantino doesn't care if he offends, if
he steps all over stereotypes and clichés, this is film making at it purest. The film is rich with interesting dialogue, Perfect timed comedy with a dash of brutal assassination.Brad Pitt leads a cast of substantial diversity, told through Tarantino's witty and highly intelligent screenplay. Christoph Waltz as pure Nazi evil is a menacing enchantment .. (Oscar don't you dare ignore him!!), as well as one of the top
villains of the decade.
