sunday fails!

no one likes Sundays, so heres something to cheer you up.

The Road

This movie featuring Viggo Mortinsen and some kid who's name i cannot remember, is about a father and sons travels through a post apocalyptic america. Almost everyone is dead, city's are burnt to the ground, and cannibal gangs roam the streets preying on survivors. the father and sons mission is to go south, reason being it is too cold where they are now.

I am currently reading the book from which the movie came, it is written by Cormac McCarthy it is very good and the movie was adapted perfectly. And if you don't like it, compare it to 2012 and see which one you like better, you'll come to your senses.

merry Christmas!

the men who stare at goats

i really expected alot more from this movie, its like paying $1000 to go to a zero gravity room, and the person you pay takes you to a pool. depressing right? I know.

George Clooney stars as Lynn Cassidy, a "Jedi Warrior" trained by the us government to use peace and gentleness, not violence, to win wars. I have to admit, there were some funny parts. but most of it was garbage. The opening line which states "more of this is real than you think" makes you want to keep watching, but it just sucks you into an abyss of crap. There were only 5 people in the theatere when i went to see it.

3/10.

The Box

This was one of the more bizarre movies i have seen in a while, there are alot of twists. i was so amazed that i almost puked like 6 times. But anyway, this movie was actually adapted from a short story titled "button,button". i really didn't expect it to be a short story, considering all the twists and mystery and what not, but whoever wrote it must be a genius. The movie itself is astounding, it gives you a look into the life of a couple living paycheck to paycheck. and one morning, a mysterious visitor leaves a box on their doorstep. only to return just as mysteriously and offer them one million dollars and the responsibility of the death of another human being. It took a while to get going, but when it did my skull almost caved in from shear awesomeness. From what i can see this movie had just one flaw, it was supposed to be set in the 60's and i really did not get that out of the film. i give it a 7 out of a potential 10.

The Hurt Locker

I just saw this movie on Sunday and i really liked it. It tells the story of a man in the US army that disarms bombs. Not only is this movie very intense but it is also funny, disturbing, and sad. The quote at the beginning of the movie really ties the end together and actually represents what the movie is all about. heres the quote: the rush of battle is a potent and often lethal addiction, for war is a drug. You'll see why if you go and see the movie, which you should. 8 out of 10

Zombieland

Hi everyone, its been a while since I last wrote. okay so heres the situation, in a post apocalyptic world, a young boy named columbus, ohio (they never give his real name in the movie) has survived the zombie apocolypse and is now fighting to survive. On his way to Columbus, Ohio (the real place) he meets a man named tallahse, florida and they team up to fight off the undead hordes that now patrol what used to be the United States of America.

This movie does sound like one of the depressing, everyone kills themselfs for fear of being ripped limb from limb. But its not, its very funny and i daresay upbeat in some parts. there was almost no flaws and i guess i can safley give it an 8 out of a potential 10. go see this movie.
