More ideas, yo
So going back to one of my original pathetic ideas, about this comic book thing, I just don't know..I think it's a good thing I have my review tommorrow, maybe I can get some good guidance as to what I should do.
Ugh..Kill me. With just over a month to go, I'm gonna have to pull something out of my ass, and make it good.

Bolt review
Pixar. Ahhh Pixar. What can I say? They have once again succeeded in making a beautiful movie. Now, the opening scenes are of Bolt performing a number of heroic acts, and does things that only a 'superdog' could do. A little after this event, it's revealed that all of these acts are staged, and are being shot for a popular show about the dog. The dog has been made to believe he is actually a superhero, and his owner is basically his sidekick. So throughout the movie he encounters different characters who have seen him on TV and begin to convince him he actually isn't a superhero. He realises this, and gets upset, and then his sidekick gets into trouble and he saves her. Endletsallhugandkissandgiveflowerstoeachother.
I realise this is an animated movie(Seriously, duh), but I felt it needed a review. I think John Travolta was a perfect choice for Bolt, maybe there could have been another fitting actor, but who am I to know. The story had shades of Monsters Inc., I guess because of the whole 'saving best friend' thing. Not the greatest of comparisons, but meh.
The score of Bolt..All I can say is wow. Seriously, I don't think I've heard a better soundtrack for another Pixar movie than this, apart from maybe Toy Story, but then this one is awesome. Seriously, It just fits the action scenes perfectly, and the inclusion of Miley Cyrus and John Travolta performing a track didn't hurt. I'm not a fan of Cyrus, nor do i hate her, I just don't think Hannah Montana is all that great. Anyway, not the time. But if you haven't heard it, I suggest you give it a listen, if your a fan of movie soundtracks/scores. Also, "Barking at the moon" by Jenny Lewis is pretty sweet too.
This is a good movie, perfect for children, Pixar have never disappointed me, unlike some people who just try to be something they're not *cough*DREAMWORKS*cough*. but yeah, good movie, if you've ever been a fan of the other Pixar movies, you won't be disappointed.

UPDATE, yo.
But seriously, surprisingly I was thinking of the work I had to do while I was there. I can honestly say that I have no idea what to do for my Audiovisual element. I'm struggling, just a little though, so hang on, I guess I should reprhrase it; I DO have an idea of what I should do- But it won't work. This is it- A documentary I guess, of my time in the US. But that doesn't make much sense to me. Seeing as hald of the footage I shot was of me. Lol. So decisions, decisions.

Marley & Me
So I saw this movie yesterday, and I have to say, I really did think it was going to be..well, crap. Well I can say that it wasn't, an was incredibly emotional towards the end.
Synopsis from fandango.com: "Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston go to the dogs with Marley & Me, a tale of a couple embarking on the adventure of marriage, career, family, and the world's worst dog. At least that's how writer and newlywed John comes to describe his blonde lab, Marley, when he takes the puppy home and finds that the fluff-ball has an uncanny ability to eat and/or destroy just about anything. As years go by, John and his wife, Jennifer, contemplate having babies and moving across the country, while Marley grows into 100 lbs. of funny, wild, completely untrainable canine companionship"
So I guess overall it IS a good movie, but I'm not sure if emotional makes a good movie. But we'll talk about that at another time. Right now let's talk about the movie, yo.
I thought that Owen Wilson did a good job of acting in the film, I just think that he didn't do a good job of being emotional. There are scenes where he can visually make himself look upset, but I don't think that's enough. A perfect example of a good emotional performance, Jennifer Aniston. I can always believe her performances in these types of roles, she projects herself well.
The plot was good, I wouldn't say it was the most unique of stories, although based on a book, I don't think it would've been that much of a big deal if it wasn't even made. HA. No no, It's financial success was, or shall I say is well deserved. Blah, Thats all I can put down right now, so I'll leave you with this.
I'll be posting again soon. LOL.
Your friend,

So anyway, I found a documentary called "THE CUTTING EDGE: the magic of movie editing", which I think, I THINK, its a documentary about Editing. It even has Tarantino and Menke in it, so it'll be easy for me to write about my third practitioner.

Sex Drive
Heres the first of one of the reviews from my little notebook I got a while back.

"Sex Drive"
From Wikipedia - "Sex Drive is a 2008 comedy film about a high school senior who goes on a cross-country road trip to hook up with a girl he met online. It is based on the novel All the Way, by Andy Behrens. The film was directed by Sean Anders, and stars Josh Zuckerman, Clark Duke, and Amanda Crew. James Marsden and Seth Green appear in supporting roles"
The opening of the movie is reminiscent to the earlier American Pie movies, it almost seemed like a spin-off. For the most part, the movie was ever so predictable, and the storyline resembled 'Eurotrip', another 'Teen movie' released in the last decade. The story, in a nutshell, is basically about a boy in his late teens who has been talking to a girl over the internet, and basically goes on a DRIVE to see this girl, eventually to have SEX. Hence the name, Sex Drive.
There were a few decent laughs, moreso toward the end of the movie. The plot was predictable, as I mentioned before, and I saw the ending coming from a mile away, of course anyone could really, as the movie progressed, it became more and more clear what would happen.
Certain parts of the movie seemed a little irrellevant to the story, but it wasn't really a bad thing, just something worth mentioning, I guess.
Overall, the movie wasn't bad by any means, the director I've never actually heard of, but having James Marsden( X-Men I/II/II, Enchanted) and Seth Green(Family Guy, Goldmember) in the mix as supporting roles didn't hurt it at all. It could be the beginning of a new 'American Pie' type series.

Enchanted LOL.
Ok, so watching this movie probably wasn't high on my list of ones to see, but I'm not gonna lie..I enjoyed it. yes, it was corny, yes, it was VERY lame, and yes, the singing and dancing was retarded. But- I enjoyed it. While watching the movie, I noticed references to older Disney movies, such as Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. There were others, but I'll get to that in a moment. The story seemed to take quite a large slice from Snow White, such as the poison apple, and the whole 'kiss-from-prince-to-wake-up-from-deep-sleep' malarky. Giselle made references from time to time to Snow White, i.e. Dwarves. After reading another review of this movie, I noticed there were plenty of other references to old Disney classics, such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Sword in the Stone, and others. Heres the list of references to the other movies:
"Books open in many of the classic Disney films. The pop-up book is a modern take off on the traditional openings of Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. The hall the book is in is based on Evind Eryle’s artwork for Sleeping Beauty.
Giselle is a combination of Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel and Belle, but mostly she approaches life much as Snow White would.
Animal friends accompany all of the classic princesses on their journeys - Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty.
You can see the bell jar with the rose in it, from Beauty and the Beast, clearly on the right as the camera pushes towards Giselle and Pip sitting on window seat.
Prince Edward is a combination of Prince Charming, Prince Philip and the Prince from Cinderella and Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid.
The name of the law firm is an homage to the songwriters of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves: Frank Churchill, Leigh Harline and Paul J. Smith.
The last name of the divorcing couple is Banks, based on the troubled parents in Mary Poppins.
Robert’s assistant Sam is played by Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
The “Happy Working Song” is a complete homage to “Whistle While You Work.” It contains references to many other Disney films.
The ending of the song is much like the end of “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid or “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast.
Poison apples are a direct reference from Snow White.
Rapunzel is being performed in the bandshell - an homage to the upcoming Disney film.
Square trees in the Rapunzel performance look like the Eyvind Earle designs for the Sleeping Beauty trees.
While Edward is in the hotel room changing channels, he sees both the news and a soap opera.
The soap opera star is Paige O’Hara, the voice of Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Her name is Angela after Angela Lansbury, Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast.
The music that underscores the soap opera is the song Beauty and the Beast.
The Bella Notte Restaurant is named after the song in Lady and the Tramp. There is a sign in the window at the far end of the restaurant.
In Morgan’s bedroom as Giselle tells her the Red Riding Hood story: There is a Belle doll wearing sunglasses, which can be seen in the chair at the start of the scene.
During Edward’s search for Giselle in the apartment complex: The pregnant mom is Judy Kuhn, the singing voice of Pocahontas.
During the Ballroom scene: The Old Hag appears and convinces Giselle to bite into the last of the Snow White.
A kiss will wake Giselle from her sleep - Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.
Giselle loses her glass slipper - Cinderella. As well, the slipper fits Nancy perfectly - also Cinderella.
Along with the references in the film, the end credits also include quite a few visual references to past Disney classics, including:
Fairies from Fantasia
Wishing well from Snow White
Frog Prince and kissing Princess from the upcoming Princess and the Frog
Cinderella ball
Cinderella’s palace
Cinderella’s coach
Cinderella’s mice friends
The Little Mermaid
Cinderella’s glass slipper
The sword in the stone
biting the poison apple
Malefiecent the dragon"
That was taken from FilmSchoolRejects.com(http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/enchanted-a-magical-experience-for-any-disney-fan.php)
So, although I haven't scraped the tip of the iceberg with this movie and I'd love to point out flaws and whatnot, It's late. And I was told not to write long ass reviews. Lol.

An update. FINALLY.

Now, another subject, my blog, I haven't posted in a while now, which is a very bad thing. very, VERY bad. I need to keep on top of this, however, I've been sort of 'reviewing' movies-ish, I'll probably type those up again soon. I wish not to scan them in cuz then it'll look like I've done too little. If I type it in, it'll look like I've been very busy. Which I have. More to come.
