Living on My own

So I'm living on my own now until February 26th. Its the only time I'll ever live alone. I get married on the 28th so this is new to me. I realized that I have done nothing for the past 2 hours. I think living alone would have pros and cons. Hopefully I can get over the being bored and enjoy this for the next few weeks.

I'm getting married 4 weeks from tomorrow. Sounds crazy huh?

That's what she said

I love it

Wall-E

I just bought Wall-E just because I had some extra money on my Circuit City gift cards and I heard it was the best animated film ever. I really didn't think so. I still like Finding Nemo and Toy Story the best overall. I thought the animation was the best as Pixar movies continue to get better with each movie but I just didn't like the story line as good. Overall, I give it a 2.5 out of 5.

Frost/Nixon

I have really been thinking about this movie a lot. I really loved it. The acting was great, the filming was great but I've been trying to compare it to Slumdog Millionaire and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Basicically trying to see if it is worthy of the Best Picture. I loved the story. I never knew anything about the interview or how Nixon came clean. I think thats why I liked the movie so much. It started off a little slow and the climax of the movie during the last interview session is what made the movie. I was on the edge of my seat during that scene and I really didn't know how it would end up. Overall, I have it on the same level as Slumdog and Benjamin Button but I don't think it will win Best Picture. I give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Mercy Rule?

A Texas woman's bball team won 100-0 recently and now they feel bad about it. How in the world do you not score one point? I think they should be proud. I thought it was a football score at first.

Snow Day

My dog, Maddie, had the best time of her life today. We got about 5 inches of snow. It was her first real snow. She is ball crazy and I was throwing snow balls and she was eating them, chasing them, licking them, and then wondering where they went. Here are some highlights.

Gran Torino

This movie is probably at the bottom of the list of all the movies I've blogged about recently. The dialogue was really choppy and some of the Asian actors were just not very good. Clint Eastwood seemed old and the although it was semi-funny hearing him call Asians every racist name you have heard and more the movie was better in the previews I thought. I give it a 2 out of 5.

Did I ever tell you I've been struck by lightning 7 time

I really loved The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I thought the screenplay was great and I loved the story. The acting was also good. Brad Pitt did a great job and the makeup people did amazing work making him go from an old man all the way to a teenager. I can't say if I liked it better than Slumdog Millionaire yet though. They are two completly different movies and I liked them both for different reasons. I'll hold judgement on that until later. Until then, I'll give them the same rating of 3.5 out 5.

Doubt

If I was to rank this movie with the best picture nominees from last year, I would probably have it ahead Atonment but nothing else. It is about the a Catholic priest who may or may not have molested a child and the head nun is trying to get him kicked out of the school. I really thought the acting in this movie was great. Philip Seymour Hoffman was great. There is a scene when he and Meryl Streep are arguing and it is very powerful. They really worked very well together. I give it a 3 out of 5, just behind Slumdog Millionaire.

Sleeping Dog

This is hilarious.

Slumdog Millionaire

It's Oscar time again and I love seeing all the best picture nominees. The nominees haven't come out yet but this is probably going to be one. The cinematography and music made the movie. It was great to watch and an uplifting story. I give it a 3.5 out of 10.
