movie week

After hanging out with one of my friends yesterday, I later went on to join some work friend to watch a movie, the roads were terrible by the way.  This movie made it the 4th movie I've seen this week, I don't usually go out of my way to drive to work to watch movies often and this was probably the first time I've seen any in months.

First Movie I saw was Battle LA on Wednesday. I thought the movie was excellent, it was packed with action and the story was pretty interesting; to me it reminded me of Black Hawk Down.  Some people said it reminded them of Independence Day, District 9, or Saving Private Ryan.  I was watching the Daily Show the other day and Jon had Arron interviewed about the movie, apparently the actors had to go through real boot camp to make the movie more realistic.  They said that military people often saw these kinds of movies and where annoyed at how things where performed, procedures, or even how they held guns so overall the way the actors performed with the yelling and everything was pretty authentic.  The movie didn't focus that much on the alien situation but more about being a marine, they could have easily replaced the aliens with terrorist or anything but anyway I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it.

The Second movie I saw was Rango on Sunday after work as I mentioned previously.  I thought it was a pretty funny movie, it was really creative and didn't have to make sense or follow any rules.  The story was pretty straight forward and to me it was set up as a traditional western film with animals with a lot of adult humor that would have been hidden to kids.  So if you enjoyed the strange humor like the style Johnny does in the Pirates of the Caribbean than I would recommend you to see this.

5 minutes after Rango was Limitless which what I thought was really great.  It was really creative and a really nice change to other typical action films and the way Cooper narrated  the movie gave it a nice touch.  After watching it, it made me think about how much someone could achieve if they just put effort and determination into their goals.  I also picked up a Limitless T-shirt and thermal bottle exclusive to theratre employees. 

yesterday (Wednesday) I saw Paul which was hilariously out of this world (lol...) and probably worth the hazardous drive to the movies.  I was iffy at first since it was put into a smaller theater but I guess it was due to the fact that it probably wouldn't have been as popular due to the fact that it was rated R.  One of my favorite parts of the movie where the crazy curses this one person says, which usually consists of a combination of two random potty words and Seth also really fit the role of Paul amazingly. 

The next movie I'm probably going to see is Sucker Punch.  I'm really excited about this film since I was a big fan of 300 and Watchmen and I even called the poster for it from the movies so it's hanging in my room.  The fact that they can do absolutely anything they can imagine makes it seem like its going to be more awesome than other typical action films.  The trailer made me think of it being set up kind of like an adventure video game with samurai robots, dragons, and other shenanigans so I really hope this movie will blow my mind :D.

stay tuned for tomorrow for when I talk about procrastinating or what ever I can think of...
