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,

Essay, yo

So after today's seminar about essay structure, there was a question part of the structure which asked a question about who my practitioners were. After stating the names of my chosen practitioners, Jools had reminded me about the 'Diverse' in the brief. I had to then rethink my practitioners; Kevin Smith, Judd Apatow, Sally Menke. The first two are Director/Producer, respectively, whereas the 3rd one, is an Editor. My original choice was Quentin Tarantino, but Sally Menke was the person who edits most of Tarantino's movies, so I thought it'd be an interesting choice to go for someone who was closely connected to one of my original choices.

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.
