I live in my own little world...

This is mostly for roxymissrose and quiet__tiger... or any other Ryan Reynolds fans. :D

So... the movie The Nines...

A lot different than I thought it would be. It's actually kind of 3 separate mini-films in one, but they all tie together. Ryan Reynolds, Melissa McCarthy, and Hope Davis have a role in each 'film'.

The first is about an actor (Ryan) under house arrest.

The second, Ryan's character is a writer trying to get his tv show made starring his best friend, Melissa's character.

The third is about a husband (Ryan), wife(Melissa) and daughter. Their car dies in the middle of no where and Ryan goes to find help while his wife and daughter stay with the car.

The stories are very entwined and it's hard to say much about any of them without giving away details. They each have their funny moments and both have very suspenseful parts. It gets almost mentally scary at times but the ending was such a huge surprise.

If you like thinking movies where you have to pay attention to almost every little detail, this is a great movie. But it's not so much of a thinking movie that it's not enjoyable. It's an hour 42 minutes, but there's so much happening that it doesn't seem like it.

As a plus... Ryan does have a few shirtless scenes. :D

It's one I could watch over and over. I rented it to see what it was like, but will definitely be buying it.

I am not a person who likes war movies.  I don't search them out.  Frankly, the only reason I heard of this movie was because of Christian Bale.  Would I have watched it if he hadn't been in it, probably not (depending on who the other actor was), but I doubt the movie would be as powerful without Christian.  I was glued to the screen the whole time, and it's just over 2 hours.

The movie itself is about Dieter Dengler, a German-American pilot captured during the Viet Nam War, and his escape.

There are a few slightly gross parts which may bother some people, but the movie is rated US PG-13, so nothing very graphic.

So if you get a chance, I would definitely recommend seeing this. :)

I was watching the movie White Nights tonight, for the first time in a LOOOOOONG time.  I loved the movie when I was younger and watched it all the time on HBO (when we had it).  Like any other girl who watched the movie, I had a mad crush on Mikhail Baryshnikov.  I did love the movie for itself and the dancing too, though, other than the dancing, I really forgot a lot of the plot since I watched it last.

Anyways.... I'm watching and this new character comes on screen, looks and sounds so familiar, but couldn't place who it was.  Tall, really lanky, short hair, glasses.  I didn't realize who it was untill the guy took his glasses off.... it was John Glover.  He played a guy name Scott who worked at the US Embassy in Russia.  OMG what a HUGE difference, though that was 20 years ago.  lol  He was kind of cute in a geeky sort of way. *grins*

Finally got to see The Prestige tonight! Since I can't talk much about a movie without spoiling it, I will not say much but...

WOW!!!! That was the first movie in a LONG time that actually surprised me! And as much as I love Hugh Jackman... I didn't like his character much. And I have LOVED Christian Bale ever since Newsies (please say at least someone remembers this movie *grins*). I was kinda indecisive about his character but the ending cleared it all up and of course I still love him! ;) I just have to see the movie a few more times to completely understand it. lol

And I am proud to say my newphew and brother did not drown in my drool like my nephew feared he would. *grins*

I finally went to see Superman Returns today. I didn't think I'd like it after seeing some of the trailers and reviews for the movie. But guess what... I LOVED IT. Well... everything except for Kate Bosworth's Lois Lane. She was way too prissy and "feminine" for the character. Lois is supposed to be a bulldog type woman, not someone who looks like she's gonna cry every few minutes.

I was surprised how much I liked Brandon Routh's Clark/Superman. The only thing that really irritated me about the character was Clark's hair. I just hated how it fell over his ears. It made him look more like a kid in need of a haircut than anything. Even though I've heard all the Christopher Reeve comparisons, it was really kinda weird how much Brandon resembled Chris in some scenes... including his voice. Though to me, Christopher Reeve will always be my favorite Superman.

My favorite scene was when the bank robber thought he'd try to shoot Supes in the eye... HA! That had to be the flattest bullet I've ever seen, and Supes smirk after that... GOD!!! If nothing else, I fell in love with that smirk. I really need to find a screencap of that look.

It was also just awesome hearing John Williams' score again. That man is just an incredible composer! I also liked how they used the footage and voice-overs of Marlon Brando's Jor-El and the Fortress was kept similar.

I'm glad I decided to give the movie a chance... and yes, I'll be adding it to my Superman Movie collection. I'd recommend checking it out even of you only like Superman a little bit.
