Euro Trip

Ah, I like this kind of movie!

I wouldn't watch this kind of movie everyday, but I have to say I need to watch this kind of movie once in a while ha ha

The story is very simple.

4 kids travel in Europe after they graduate from high school.

They have different reasons, of course, but they all try to help Scott who is in love with a girl whom he actually hasn't met.

Very typical story, isn't it?

What happens while they travels is typical and stupid as well, but I love it!

I guess I just like dirty stuff lol

Everyone likes that, right??

Anyway, it is just fun to watch when you are drunk or with bunch of your friends.

I don't think it give you extraordinarily feeling after, but you can laugh, which I believe is why I need to watch this kind of movie ha ha

Real Steel

All of my friends who have watched this movie recommended me to watch it, but it wasn't highly rated online...

I wasn't sure which to believe.

So, i figured that I have to watch to figure it out.

And I think my friends were right!

I really enjoyed it!

I do understand why it was not rated high online though.

The story isn't very realistic. (I personally believe that realism is "hot" in the movie industry latel no matter what kind of movie it is )

You can't really believe this happens for real anytime soon.

At least, I don't think it will happen near future.

Besides, it is predictable.

You can tell what will happen next easily.

These two factors definitely make this movie poorly rated.

However, I didn't think I wasted 2 hours after watching it.


Why? Because acting is great, and the story is touching.


I just said it is predictable , but it is because the relationship of father and son is very common. 


Even though this is unrealistic, you can still see them as "human" just like we are.

Although the setting is far from our daily life, you can still understand what they struggle with.

So, that's my answer.

It is your turn to decide whether it is worth spending your time for this movie.

OMG!!

It's been a while!

I am so sorry for leaving this blog such a long time!

I try to update more often from now on.


Here is the movie I recently watched.


I couldn't decide whether this movie is a horror or monster movie...


I guess it's got a story that is somewhat decent and interesting, yet it doesn't wrap the whole story very well.


Everything sort of makes sense, but sort of not... lol

I guess the copy I watched didn't have Polish subtitle, so I might have missed crucial points of this movie, which is very unfortunate if I did lol

To be honest, I was disappointed after watching this movie because the trailer seemed interesting!

I guess this is one of those movies...

Anyway, here is the trailer!!

You can watch it if you get bored lol

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

To be honest, I have not watched any series of this, so I cannot really compare this to the others.

However, I really liked it.

It scares me a little because this can be happen to us near future.

I wouldn't be surprised that scientists take some experiments with chimpanzees because, as we all know, they are very close to humans.

I know people would be more careful in real, but I thought the setting was very realistic.

I really liked the way they described apes.

They are very emotional.

Even though they don't express their thoughts with words like we do, their emotions are sort of visible by their facial expressions.

I could even see their emotional conflicts, which was very impressive.

They do have aspects of animals from human;s perspective, yet they do have aspects of human, which I really liked because it does fits the tittle very well.

As I said, I have not watched the other series, so I have no idea how they are like, but I think this one is very good.

I would recommend it though I am not too sure if people who are big fans of this series can enjoy as much as I did.

Sharktopus

I have no idea who came up with this idea, but it was really funny.

I have to say it was really crappy movie though lol

I think it's supposed to be a monster movie like Jaws, but it failed so bad lol

Acting is really bad, which made me laugh several times.

CG is horrible, you can easily tell when they use CG lol

The story is very predictable and has no twist.

I don't even know why they did not make a little bit more effort to make this movie better...

Is it because it's for TV?

Well, there are a lot of hot girls in bikinis at least lol

But there is no nudity, which is a little disappointing... lol

Anyway, you might enjoy this movie if you like cheap crappy movies.

Otherwise, don't waste your precious time for this lol

BTW, I was very surprised that my friend bought Blue-ray version of this.

I was even surprised they actually make a copy...

Shipping News

I have never heard of this movie until one of my friends mentioned it.

After I watched it, I was very glad that she told me about it.

I don't really think this is a well-known movie, but I don't know why because this movie is excellent.

This is the movie about the guy who had ordinary life, but his life changes after he moves to where his family is from.

He discovers secret history of his family and is forced to face it.

Everyone in this movie has secret history and struggle getting over.

It is really amazing to how well their suffers are described.

I also liked the landscape of it.

You know how mother nature is against us, but it is all around us.

We have to get along with it no matter how hard it is.

The image of nature in this movie matches their woes.

They have to accept the fact and live with it.

I was very impressed how well-constructed it it!

This is based on the book, so I assume this book is also good, so it might be a good reading for winter if you like to read!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Since it's Halloween today, I should talk about the horror movie, shouldn't I?

And this horror movie is really good!

I really liked the worldview of it.

You might think it's unrealistic, but everything makes sense in this movie. (Who expects horror movies to be realistic anyways?!)

Also, how the story goes is very interesting.

I was like "what the hell is going on?!" for first 30 minutes lol

I totally couldn't guess how this movie ends.

It was a quite unusual experience because horror movies are usually very straightforward.

You can usually foresee what will happen next.

I believe this story developing makes this movie scary!

Of course, the atmosphere of the movie is created well!

I think this is a great movie for Halloween.

So, watch this if you are having a horror movie night tonight and have not decided what you should watch!
