random thoughts about random things

Been spectacularly fortunate in having been able to watch movies again. Yay for me! (My interests comes and goes, as you might have accidentally noticed Oo)

WALL-E rocks. It just does. I am so definitely going to see it in theatres asap. I laughed almost constantly, it’s cute as buttons, and I laughed almost constantly. Slightly predictable, no, very predictable and cliché, but still cute and hilarious. It’s the kind of movie you’ll love, because if they’re going to rehash an old kind of story, atleast they’re doing an awesome shot at it.

Hancock sucked balls. It just does. It goes from an alcoholic self-pitying man that tries to do good but only gets yelled at by the public because he’s doing mistakes, to a douchebag that’s influenced by some dumbass moralist with some silly happy ending. If there’s one thing I hate in movies it’s blatantly obvious feel-goodery that can only inspire me to squirm about in the chair. Also, if you’re going to watch it, you might notice that the whole movie will seem out of whack after about 30 minutes. Apparently there’s been 976343 rewrites of the script. Go figure. Gah, all that potential flushed down the toilet.

Definitely, maybe is hilarious, cute, funny and sweet. Even if you’re so manly there’s hair growing on your tongue I’m pretty sure you’ll like this movie simply because it manages to cater to so many things. Feel-good movie without the squirming and the miserably pathetic do-goodies. Now, to figure out how he manages to get so lucky with the ladies.

Kung Fu Panda. We all know what’ll happen. We all know how it’s going to happen. We all know why it happens the way it does. It’s demographics I’m sure. Or statistics. Something to milk money anyways. Embarassingly enough it works. Kung Fu Panda is sweet, warm and almost non-stop hilarity. Not only is Jack Black really awesome as the panda, the panda’s an awesome character. I couldn’t stop laughing at times. A small minus for annoying feel-goodery at certain points, but they were quickly obscured again. Way awesome!

Chaos Theory is another Ryan Reynolds movie. The guy’s like everywhere these days, kind of like STD’s and the iPhone - and like those two there’s almost always been something cool preceding/succeeding it in some way, the movie is fun. It’s not your regular comedy/drama/romance either, it’s different, it’s unexpected and if I wasn’t laughing I was simply enjoying myself. Strangely enough this is another slightly feel-goodery movie, but for some reason I managed to overlook that until the movie was over. I must be getting old or something. If you see both Reynolds movies you’ll see paralells between them. Mucho of them.

Stargate Continuum. Let me just get it over with, I’m a fan of the series, the themes, the cha… I’m a fan. Huge fan, so I’ll be highly biased. In any case this movie felt like a return to the old-school nitty gritty Stargate SG-1 stories with lots of character-stories and fun plots. If they keep making these movies about the SG-1 team and their continued exploits I’ll be one damne happy fan. Tight plot, lots of fun interaction, surprisingly little combat and such - revisiting lots of old characters. It’s the kind of movie that warms an old fan’s heart. Much love guys, much love <3

My shoulder has a problem, it’s been dislodged and brutalized a few too many times in my life and is now protesting heavily. So heavily in fact that I’m on painkillers and will most likely have to operate it. Partially severed tendons it seems. Hurts like a bitch, but the night-time is the worst with having an issue sleeping from before. We’ll see how that goes, atleast I get time off from work. The downside is that I’m pretty fucking bored.
