The Fighter

This movie is one of the movies that based on the true stories.

I don't really know whether this is the trend or not, but I think there are a lot movies that are based on or inspired by the true stories.

I guess people seek "reality" in the movies because there are lots of amazing stories around the world.

People might feel as if they can be one of the movie characters because these movies usually focus on normal people like us.

This movie is about a boxer who has a talent but never had a good chance.

His brother used to be a famous boxer but is drug addict now.

People expect him because of his brother and his glory.

It might be one of the success stories, yet I like how people face their weaknesses and mistakes they have made.

It was also interesting how they find out their weaknesses.

I liked the connections of their weaknesses, mistakes, and the way they make up their mistakes.

The portrayal of women are kind of interesting to me because the camera sometimes focuses of their legs or breasts.

I am not sure what it's supposed to mean, but I kind of thought that role of women are quite important in this movie.

There would be no change if there is no woman.

I believe you will understand what I mean if you see this movie.

Anyway, I thought it was a good boxing movie.

At least, I liked this movie better than Rocky series lol

Please give

This movie is kind of weird.

The characters are weird, and their relationships are weird.

However, it is people like us.

People are weird.

This movie is not an action movie, so there is no explosion or dynamic car chase, but there is a drama between them.

Some characters are very mean to others.

Some characters feel very guilty from what they do.

They are sensitive and naive.

I guess they are over-exaggerated as the characters in the movies often are, yet their relationships seem realistic in some sense.

Because they have reasons to be mean or sensitive.

Some characters are very honest to themselves(they say what they want to say or do; they seem to be mean to others), which is kind of interesting because I think we are honest to neither ourselves and others, so I think this characteristic represents human aspect that people care their own profit.

Of course, there are some characters who are "good" people, yet I was very interested in how these characters are represented.

As I said, this movie does not have any excitements, yet there is drama, which is interesting human observation.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed

Well, it might not be the best movie for Christmas, yet I really enjoyed this movie.

I had no idea what this movie was about when I started watching this movie, which I think is good.

If you have no idea about the story, I think you enjoy more lol

At least, I believe it will be more entertaining and exciting if you don't know anything about this movie, so I don't have link to the trailer this time.

I was very impressive by the fact that there are only three characters in the movie, but the story is well-made!

There are lots of twists and makes you wonder what will happen next.

The setting might be typical, yet it doesn't make this movie typical.

I also loved the camera works!

The camera works create lots of tensions and suspensions, which makes the movie more exciting!

Besides, the acting is excellent!

You will notice the relationships of the characters in half way of the movie; the relation is quite interesting and odd in a sense.

And the relationship they have does not make it easy for you to guess what will happen.

The faces the characters make or the reactions they take are very interesting after you know what relationship they have.

The story is very well-constructed and the acting is impressive; I will say this movie is definitely worth watching!

Get Him to the Greek

I finally had a chance to watch this movie!

I've heard about this movie from so many people, and they said it is so funny!

And they were right!

It was so funny!

It's definitely worth watching!

I like craziness like in this movie!

This movie reminds me of the hangover somehow.

The story is simple, yet the characters make this simple story so mess up lol

I love to see people doing extremely unexpected things!

I guess you can guess what will happen in the end, yet comedy movie is for laugh.

What you expect to see in comedy is stupid people do or say stupid things.

Of course, this movie has this element!

I also love the music in the movie!

Some of they are really silly, and some rock!

I don't think it's a good idea to watch it with your parents, but it is a good movie to watch with some beer for sure!

IMDB

Splice

It has been for a while since I posted last.

I have been quote busy for school and have not had time to watch movies, but I'm in break now!

Which means movie time!

So, I watched Splice.

The story starts with typical setting, smart scientists break morality because of curiosity.

But the creature they make is very human-like.

This wired creature has emotions like us; it feels happy, sad, angry, and jealous.

And it has the desire we have, including sexual desire.

I guess all creatures that exist in this world have sexual desire, but it is more complex beacause this creature falls in love as well as human.

This movie is so fucked up because of the combination of human characteristics.

I am not sure whether this movie teaches us moral.

I was disappointed by how this movie stats and very confused by the ending.

I cannot tell if this movie if good or bad.

I can't even tell if I like it or not lol

All I can say is this movie is totally worth of watching!

No guarantee you feel fine after watching this movie though lol

Quite interesting in a way how people mess themselves up.

By the way, the director is Vincenzo Natali.

Yes, the direcor of Cube!

So, I guess you can kind of guess how this movie is like lol

Fame

Since this movie came out, I had wanted to watched it, but I didn't have a chance until yesterday.
I am not a big fan of musical, but the trailer seemed very interesting to me.
It seemed there were a lot of dramas in the movie.
The kids are seriously impressive and talented.
And they have their own stories.
However, I felt the soties are kind of weak.
Each of them is very gifted person, as I said, yet nothing moved me just because this movie totally rely on their ability, I guess.
To be honest, the stories are normal life of the students who are talented and have hopes in the future, which might be what they intended to show us.
Their struggles are quite different from what we do, I think.
Maybe some of them have "closer" sense to us, yet they know they are not "ordinally" people.
If you like to watch musical or amazing perfomance you can watch in Step Up, you might like it, but I am not sure if it worth of watching only for that.
Anyway, I was kind of disappointed with this movie probably because I expected too much from the trailer.
It might be one of the typical exapmles that trailers are better than movies themselves lol

Hard Candy

It's been a while since I posted last one.

It doesn't mean I haven't watched any movies.

I was just a bit busy.

I am so sorry about that.

Anyway, about the movie!

As usuall, I had no idea what Hard Candy is about lol

I watched Whip It and was kind of curious what kind of movies Ellen Page has been.

I have watched Juno, Inception, and Whip It; however, all movies are tottally different.

Besides, she is from Canada, where I live now lol

So, I was curious about her carrer.

Hard Candy is filmed in 2005, so she was 18.

But she acts 14-year-old girl, which I had no doubt about it.

She looks really young in that movie lol

The girl she acts is totally wired though.

Since I did not know about anything about this movie, I thought this movie was about kidnapping.

The movie starts with chatting screen on computer between a young girl and a well-grwon up man.

But hell no! It was not about kidnapping!!

Well, kind of yes, but it is not what I expected at all.

The girl must have a reason for her actions, yet it is quite mysteryous.

Though I finished watching it, I am still confused.

What is this movie about...?

Who is she...?

I loved the camera work of this movie.

I don't think they spent a lot of money to make this film, yet the movies is quite exciting to watch without any special effect because of camera work.

Also Page did great job in the movie.

She is real phyco in this movie!

I strongly recommend to watch it if you don't mind having many questions afterwards lol

I bet it is pain to watch for guys though lol

IMDB

The Town

I did not know Ben Affleck was the director.

All I knew before I watched this movie is that this movie is about bank job.

Well, I thought of knew Ben Affleck was the main main character, but I wasn't even sure lol

So, I had no idea what this movie was about.

I kind of expected action movies, but this movie did not meet may expectation at all, which is good.

There are some car actions, which can be seen as actions, but there are a lot of emotional descriptions.

I was very impressed how well the atmosphere was created.

Especially, camera movements and flaming have important roles.

Hand-held camera movement crates the intense situation and represents nervousness of the characters.

Long shot and close up are obviously used to express the characters' emotions, which also shows us physiological process of them, I think.

When we see the close-up of the characters' faces, it tells us what they are thinking though they do not say what they are thinking really.

I really loved the mood of this movie!!

It was amazingly realistic!

The atmosphere of each scene tells us more about the relationships of the characters and their thoughts.

I can watch this movie over and over again because this is so well done!

Inception was the best one I'd watched this year, but I like The Town better than Inception!

If you haven't watched this movie, I strongly recommend to watch it!

This movie have be on your list of must-watch!

IMDB

Resident Evil: Afterlife

Well, my impression of after watching this movies was " This is it?" lol
The ending kind of makes sense, but it's not really the all audience expected, I think.
It is quite short movie. Its got only 90 minuets, but there are many slow-motions, which means that the amount of time that actually relates to the story is shorter than 90 minuets.
I am sure that I am not the only one who felt that the story itself is extremely brief.
As I said, short amount of time, and lots of slow-motion made me feel even "nothing".
Of course, there are still many things happening, which makes some excitement.
But to be honest, I think Kick Ass was way more exciting lol
And 3D did not work well.
It was very strange to see actions in 3D.
It might have added some sort of excitement such as splashing blood in front of your eyes; however, I personally think 3D is not completed yet.
I don't think it's worth of watching it with 3D next couple years because no one has really figured out the advantage of 3D yet.
Resident Evil is even worse than Avatar(I think Avatar sucks! There is nothing new. Everything in the movie is predictable.) because it does not have any stories that follows previous series.
Resident Evil is getting worse and worse as they make next one.
I seriously think they should have stopped making it after they made second one lol
Anyway, I do not recommend you to watch this movie in the theatre.
You can watch it once they are on DVD.
Don't waste your money and time like I did today lol

IMDB

The Last Seven

It was one of the movies that you do not know what is going on until you see the end.
Well, you get some hints to guess what is going on, of course.
But I did not understand whole thing till I finished watching lol
The characters in the movie don't know what is going on; you share the feeling with them in some sense.
Long take, long shots, and music increase the sense of sharing, I think.
You feel you participate the events that take place on the screen; however, you also witness what is going on on the screen.
It sounds a bit confusing, isn't it? lol

That's how tricky the editing is in the movie.
I mean you share the feeling with the characters, but you don't share visually with them, so you can guess what is going on next better than them.
You share the memories of them since you see the flashbacks, which I felt kind of classic way to use flashbacks.
I felt I was watching something really spiritual movie, but it was in some sense very realistic.
Well, it's still spiritual, but everything is very confusing and quite ambiguous in terms of "real".
I know you have no idea what the hell I am talking about if you haven't watch this movie, yet it kind of makes scene if you have, I believe.

IMDB

Repo Man

One of my friends recomended this movie.

I had no idea what this movie was about when I started watching.

Then I figured out this movies is messed up lol

Well, in a good scene, of course.

I liked how the music is used in the movie.

Music sounds always opposited to what I see, which gave an impression that what is going on in the movie is unreal.

It is unreal, of course, but it has influence that everything taked place in the movie is wrong too.

Since the world in the movie and the world we live in is different, but there is a possibility that the future can be like movie because I think artiicial organ would be very demanding in the future.

Anyway, I enjoyed movie a lot.

I enjoyed some comic scenes.

They remind me Old Boy, which is one of my favorite movies.

I bet you enjoy this movie if you don't mind watching a bit of blood splashing lol

IMDB

The Expendables

This is typical Stallone movie, I would say.

This movie contains lots of actions, explosions, and fighting.

And of course, massive number of killing lol

That is why I say this is typical Stallone moive.

I bet he puts everything he thinks cool, which I think is one important element of Hollywood movie today.

But I feel Stallone has learned quite a lot about movie.

I felt that the editing and music increased the excitement of the movie, so I liked this movie most in his movies.

Besides, big action stars are in this movie, which means more actions!

But I think it would have been better if there are side stories of each characters since they are big names.

I was kind of disappointed how Jet Li is treated.

I still enjoyed his amazing kung-fu skills!

If you love the dynamic action movie, I guarantee you like this movie!

But as I said, there are lots of killing.

So, don't watch it with your girlfriend lol

Go to watch with your buddies!

It would be fun!

Kick-Ass

First of all, I loved this movie title!

Who came up with the title called Kick-Ass?!

It is so cool!

Since I heard this title, I have always wanted to watched this movie until today, but I had never had a chance to watch it.

So, I was pretty glad that I have seen this super cool movie!

This is the movie about super hero, but it is totally different from the super hero movies I have ever wated.

This movie is so realistic at some point, but it is so unrealistic at some point, which I thought that includes both realistic aspect and unrealistic aspect that is usually we expect in super hero movies.

I loved the balance of it.

It is not the super hero movie kids love, I think it is the super hero movie who always wanted to be one of the super heroes just because the main character is an ordinarly kid who wants to be a hero.

Of course, there are many action scenes that impresses you.

And there is romance super hero movies always have, yet these do not bother at all.

Am I the only one who is always annoyed by unncessary actions that is impossible for me to try or romatics that I wish happened to me some time in my life, but never happen?

Well, maybe, but I felt so ass kicked when I watched this movie because a girl is doing all actions.

I think there is a stant, but it was pretty amazing.

At least, amazing enough for me.

I also liked how romantic happens.

You will see what I mean if you watched, I guess.

Anyway, I totally loved this movie and think this is a kick ass movie!

Inception

This is my first post for this blog.

And I believe this movie is good to start off my blog.

I have already watched this movie twice.

Yes, I liked this movie!!

Wow! is the word after I said this movie.

The idea is very interesting because I had never watched this kind of movies before.

It is one of the greatest things in the movie, I think.

Technology is well developed today so that people can visualize what people think about something that is quite difficult to tell by words.

The idea of dream was quite simple in some sense, but it is also complicated.

As well as the idea, the story is quite complicated and confusing sometimes, so I really had to focus on what is actually( This word "actually" is importatn!) going on.

Even though you think you follow everything you see, you still need to think.

I'm not big fan of science fiction, but this movie blew my mind!

As I said, I have watched this movie twice in the theare( and I-MAX!!), but I still love to watch this movie.

There is something you never know about, which might make some of you hate this movie, but I strongly recommend to watch this movie if you have not watched yet!!
