Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't been posting as I promised I would weekly, but look at it like this - ALIEL hasn't done anything! Typical of her, tut tut tut. Really though, I just don't have very much time anymore, and I'm just bombarded with rubbish in all directions. I guess its the same with Club Penguin, Moshi Monsters and all that. You get excited for a week then you realise you have other things to do until your forget about it completely. Except they never do die, do they? All that happens is they have a sad face and their status is desperately hungry. But, If you've left a creature like that for 2 months, I'm going to tell you know - its dead. Sorry about that.
Lucky for you, dear reader, I am going to give you a wonderful double dose of my Movie Knowledge, even though they are just small snippets. I have just realised the joy of teen screenings at Vue and I cant get enough of them - they're £2!! That's insane! As my Friend Youngsters_World would say - Awesome sauce. Indeed Youngsters_World, awesome sauce.
A Little Bit of Heaven and Dear John were 2 movies that I defiantly wasn't going to see based on people recommending them. These movies just seemed to be surrounding by a cloud of negative reviews, and no one gave them a real chance - especially A little Bit of heaven - it had barely any publicity, so it didn't really get a good start. I do find it a bit comical that all major newspapers and sites etc all seem to be on a record and repeat the same ideas. Its like they all come together and decide what to say, because if you actually said what you thought, and no-one else said the same, you would get a right bashing. But don't worry readers, I am going to get these movies out of the darkness and tell it like it is. And I'm telling you now - its not to be missed.
The first I noticed about a Little bit of Heaven was the cleverness of character that was actually okay to have cancer - you have to admit that that has never been done before, completely original. Everyone seems to be completely oblivious about this. I'm going straight into this, so lets back it up a little. A little bit of heaven is about how a confident young women, who spends her time partying and laughing with her best Friends, when she is suddenly diagnosed with cancer, and nothing can be done to stop it. Oddly, she is the only one who is able to cope with it, and even though she is okay with it, she watches how her family and Friends fall apart around her. But when she gets to meet her doctor she then begins to think: Is falling in love scarier then death? -- You do have to admit that that is pretty original. This girl (the main character) may be a right Cow, but at least she went off with a bang. What I found especially wonderful about this movie was the variation in the Friends and their personality's, but what I found even more thought-provoking is that I believed everyone of them. But that I mean that I could believe that they could be real people - the director has been showing off with her actor choices hasn't he/she? This is one of the few movies I'm going to buy when it comes out on DVD.
I wont go into much detail about Dear John, as I would make a very biased view as I went with Youngsters_World and several friends, and it was a total disaster :D There were prawn crackers, flying shoes....it was pretty hilarious. But I will say this, and if anyone related with making this movie can read this, make sure you do.
That was a bloody good movie.
What made it so is the emotion I saw in the main 2 actors. The shuffling, the eye glances, the looks of desperation and not knowing what to do - that's what made it believable. They actually tried to act. On top of this, I found it genius how the director cut from one scene to another, and nothing was needed for you to know what happened. I know this has been done several times before, but I never actually realised it until I saw this movie. For example, John might sigh, and the scene would change instantly, and it that split second when the scene changed - that's all it took, and you knew what was going to happen. There's nothing more to it. Good on ya Nicholas Sparks - that's a really good movie.
Cool, that's my thoughts done for this week, but I just have 1 little thought I just have to tell you all - You know the song Who's that Chick by Rhianna? Its one of those songs that you have to just get up and dance to - its a rave song, I bet its gunna be in a night club already! Ive seen so many parades of diff rent songs which are just so unbelievably hilarious yet stupid. The Midnight Beast defiantly have to be the best - keep on rocking you guys!! There have been so many good ones, including Hey Hey You You, Ive now got a black friend! ;) But seriously, I have now got my own own one! I know, I cant believe it either! I only have 3 lines, but its like a sign from god. If this is suddenly made into a vid onto Youtube, you know who it came from!
Who knows my favourite flavour?
Its certainly not Quavers!
Who's that Crisp? Who's that crisp?
That's all from me - see ya next time!

Sorry guys for the large spaces - Im still trying to work out how this system works! :D
ReplyDeleteBut more importantly, Waterloo Road! AHH!!
I would like to point out that never once in my life have I said 'awesome sauce'. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, you persieved the girl's character, out of a little bit of heaven, completely wrong. She was not a cow at all? She was just a normal person, who was fed up of everyone treating her like she had a disability, and rightly so.
ReplyDeleteYoungsters_World, I think you might find you have said 'awesome sauce' at least once - I definatly remember it. It may not be a regular thing, But I remember it all the same. It may be my mind playing tricks, but our readers can make their own decision.
ReplyDeleteAlso Youngsters_World, you seem to have misinterpreted my view of the main character out of A Little Bit of heavon completly.
ReplyDeleteWhen I meen Cow I mean it as a personality trait.
You are only talking about after she has been diagnosed, but I am talking about the before and the after. She was very rude and inconsiderate, sleeping around, and spent her time drinking with freinds and partying. Of course I am only taking out the bad points and in fact she is a very caring person and sorted out all her problems with her freinds before she died, but even so, she is quite cow-ish dont you think?
Nope, I have never said it. I think you have me confused with someone else, and I definately think she was not 'cow-ish' at all! Definately no cow in that women, what so ever. (Well, how am I to know that? It wasn't portrayed in the film, so we should just assume.)
ReplyDeleteAwesome sauce? Dudes, I'm totally gonna start sayin' that!
