This week is supposed to be my exam week but to hell with that. Nothing satisfies or makes me happy more than seeing a movie. I have been waiting for Looper for a long time and finally! I went to see it last night.

This keeps my mind going. Especially on the first few scenes. Joe would narrate the story and I would take a few seconds to absorb it until I was like “oh! yes! I get it now.”

I love this film. The story is brilliant and the way Rian Johnson presents it on screen is sort of good too. Interesting. Finally, something that is not so predictable. I would give Rian a standing ovation.

I laughed once in a while during the film because of the way Joseph Gordon-Levitt impersonating Bruce Willis. Kinda funny. His make up is great, appreciate it and what he’d done to look like Bruce Willis. Good job. I love this guy, as an actor. He’s so good. And this year he’s been in a bunch of great movies. I cannot wait to watch Lincoln and every upcoming Joe Go-Lev movies. He’s so inspirational. Talk about Hit Record! (www.hitrecord.org)

Little Cid is cute. Aside from the fact that he’s ought to become a very bad person in the future and his overwhelming telekinetic skill. I would smile every time he talks. What a smart boy.

Emily Blunt is not bad, too. She’s good, you know, with the American accent and stuff.

Crap. I don’t know what else to say. I honestly don’t really know how to write movie reviews. I write movies, not the reviews. I am so not good at non-fictional writings. I should probably just post quotes.

Quotes are good ;D

LOOPER

Directed by Rian Johnson

Starring Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt, Noah Segan, Jeff Daniels, Piper Perabo, and Pierce Gagnon

Written by Rian Johnson

Tagline: Hunted by your future. Haunted by your past.

Other review(s): Looper is a thrill ride that has a nice blend of thrilling action and matters of the heart.

Resident Evil’s walking deads always scare me a lot more than ghost and psychotic killers. They always appear in the most possible shocking way. I would jump when they do.

Anyway, I quite enjoyed this movie. I love the fighting scene that involves Alice and Ada. They are epic! Milla Jovovich is the coolest!

As for the story, I won’t judge because I don’t really follow the story. Or the video game. I just saw my brother playing it sometimes. That’s how I know about Leon S. Kennedy. I don’t think Johann Urb is that right for the role of Leon. The hair’s good, the costume’s good, but that’s not how I imagines his face would be like in motion picture.

As a whole, I would say Paul W.S. Anderson did it good. I like how it appears and how it is visualised. Honestly. It was awesome! Oh, I like how they made the actions during the opening title go backwards.

I didn’t feel anything about Michelle Rodriguez’s Rain comeback. Maybe because I’ve already forgotten what her character was like in the first film. I didn’t even remember she was in it until recently.

Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson

Starring Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guilllory, Michelle Rodriguez, Aryana Engineer, Bingbing Li, Boris Kodjoe, Johann Urb, and Kevin Durand

Tagline: Evil goes global

P.S.

I said previously I would go see Red Lights but it wasn’t showing anymore :(

This Tuesday I intended to watch Red Lights but something came up (I got stuck in a parking lot for forty minutes) and I missed the show. I couldn’t see the next one because I had class to catch. So, instead, I went to see The Cabin In The Woods. I had been waiting to see this but I only got to see this today.

Honestly, I don’t know what to say. Not what I expected. You know, when I watched the trailer and saw the poster and read the tagline that says “You think you know the story”, I was curious to hell and since then this became one of those movie I most looked forward to seeing.

The story is… I don’t know. I mean, I get it what Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard wanted to tell in the film. Usual a few young friends go on a trip to some isolated area away from the crowd. Later then they are chased and brutally killed by either some local psychopaths or wild animals (for example, sharks). The characters are familiar as well; one athletic and handsome guy, his slutty girlfriend, her virgin best friend, plus one smart and one stupid friend of theirs. In this movie, they are called The Athlete, The Whore, The Scholar, The Fool, and The Virgin. You know, typical characters of this kind of movie ;)

Except, it’s not like that at all. It’s not a typical “five best friends go on a trip and something goes wrong that they die one by one”. It’s like a game or something. It’s all made that way. And my heart thumped quite a few times during this film, so many unexpected surprises. One of them for example, I was covering my ears when Jules made out with a stuffed wolf because I thought something’s going to come up but then nothing happened. So I went on watching it and just when Dana was talking, in the middle of her sentence a door to a basement opened LOUDLY. I was shocked.

I don’t know what I don’t like about it. Probably the cast. I like Chris Hemsworth but I wished I hadn’t missed Red Lights because I’d rather have seen Cillian Murphy instead (hope to see Red Lights next week). I don’t like the ancient gods stuff either. I find it weird.

Oh. One more thing surprised me. Sigourney Weaver. Didn’t know she was cameo, didn’t see that coming.

Directed by Drew Goddard

Starring Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, and Brian White

Written by Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard

P.S.

Saw this just now. What a fun thing to see. It’s nice to see a colourful and cute animation film once in a while :) Like the songs too!

THE LORAX

Directed by Chris Renaud, Kyle Balda

Voices by Danny DeVito, Zac Efron, Ed Helms, Taylor Swift, and Betty White

Written by Ken Daurio based on Dr. Seuss’ book

UNLESS someone like you care a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.

- Dr. Seuss

This is a Spanish film. I like Spanish, the language. It sounds nice to hear. I wish I spoke Spanish.

This movie has pretty faces. Do I think it resembles the previous one I made the review for? Kind of. I just think these Spanish pretty faces did prettier acting. Still, this is a predictable story. I knew where it was going when I saw it. I don’t know about the dialogue because it’s in Spanish, I just read the English subtitle.

It’s terrible, but it’s fine. Just to kill time.

PARANORMAL XPERIENCE 3D

Director: Sergi Vizcaino

Starring: Amaia Salamanca, Maxi Iglesias, Ursula Corbero, Lucho Fernandez

Other review(s): More like a 90 minute XPeria advert. | Not too shabby if you can bear with subtitles.
