Monday, February 13, 2006 || Stupid films I've been watching!
- Hellow, people!
Seriously, I have nothing much to blog about nowadays. Because life, for now, is too good to be true, for me. I mean ... this is THE life, in Eliza Lee's books.
I know, I know, I'm a lazy person. I love doing nothing. I love staring at the sky, wondering why the air is so humid and the clouds are so lovely. I like simplicity (... in other words, not doing anything complicated. HAHA).
So yes, I wish life could always be like this. I mean ... I really doubt that in any other phase of my life, I'll ever get to live life this way again. Soon, there'll probably be college, which promises heaps of workload ... and after college, there'll be work, bills to pay, yada yada.
I think the next time I'll ever get to, um, relax like this will probably when I'm pregnant. If I even ever get married. But better get married lah, if not I won't have any reason to cut myself some slack..... HAHAHA
Anyway, I've been on a movie marathon for the past few days. Lent a lot of DVDs from friends, downloaded a few and etc. Mostly, I'm just catching on all the OLD shows I missed, not the recent ones ... because, I don't know, asides from Brockback Mountain, no other 'new' show caught my interest. Even Memoirs of a Geisha was only ... okay.
So I'll just blog about all the stuff I've been watching for the past few days.
Never been Kissed - starring Drew Barrymore and David Arquette
Okay, this's just a typical romantic comedy about a young journalist in her 20s, assigned to go undercover as a high school student. Of course, she had a horrible time in high school in her own time, shunned by all the popular kids ...
So will things be any different now?
This chick flick is not bad. I've always liked Drew Barrymore, especially in her romantic comedies, 'cause I think she has a natural flair for it. Hey, 50 First Dates wasn't too bad also, ya?
But well, it IS pretty chick-flickish. Very fairytale, which you know, rejuvenates hope for all single, nerdy people out there. LOL
10 things I hate about you - starring Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles
I actually only watched this because Heath Ledger was in it. Shhhh.
This flick is yet another typical teenage romantic comedy, and it seriously is similiar to She's All That, though I like Julia Stiles a lot more than that cutesy chick in SAT.
Julia Stiles plays a rebellious, shunned and angsty girl, who happens to be the sister of a pretty and popular babe. So when their strict dad enforces a rule on her younger sister, stating that she's not allowed to date until Julia Stiles is, all the guys brew up a plan to get Heath Ledger, a weird hippy dude (who, obviously, is the exact opposite of Julia's character) to date Julia, so that they'll be able to date her younger sister.
Obviously, Heath and Julia fall for each other, under a series of pretty cute and hilarious circumstances. But it was a set-up from the start ... so what happens when she finds out?
-_-
The Virgin Suicides - starring Kirsten Durst and Josh HarnettApparently, I heard that this was the role that shot Kirsten to stardom. And after watching the show, I think that I really liked her best in this role. (didn't really like her in Spider man or Bring it on)
Entering lesbian territory ... SHE IS SO CUTE here. Like, damn damn cute + hot. No idea why also.
I dont know how to describe this movie, it's some pretty complicated shit, about strict parents and all their daughters committing suicide one by one. Though extremely worth a watch, because I could TOTALLY relate to it.
Freddy VS Jason, starring dunno who.I seriously have no idea why I watched this in the first place. I REALLY wanted to get freaked out and was in the mood for some slashing, blood and gore. Think Saw 2.
(cause, well, cannot watch too many love shows lah, I'll get emo. LOL)
... But this movie, uh, I didn't know whether I should laugh or cry at it. I mean ... it was just funny, and I wasn't sure if it was meant to be funny. O______o
Sheesh man, is a seriously scary show so hard to find, nowadays? Alien vs Predator was another 'dont-know-what-to-say' film. What's with all these monster VS monster stuff, anyway? These movies make humans seem so stupid and insignificant, heh.
Gremlins 2: The New Batch
When I was REALLY, really young, I vaguely remember watching this movie before. (Early 90s, I think .. which meant I must've been 4 or 5 -_-)
So I jumped at the opportunity to rewatch it.
AND I AM IN LOVE. Shit man, Gizmo the Gremlin is SO DAMN CUTE. I went 'AWWW' at least 7 times during the movie!
Someday, when I'm rich, I am SO going to get one of these ... I don't care how expensive Gizmo soft toys are. SO CUTE, can?
... Sorta reminds me of the grey Furby I used to have. O_o
I haven't been to the cinemas that much lately... I watched Prime yesterday though. It is pretty good, mainly because Uma Thurman is amazing and Bryan Greenberg is God-like. Handsome. Very much so. *drools*
Okay, I still haven't watched Notting Hill and City of Angels, though I already have the shows with me ... Mainly because, well, Valentines day is tomorrow, and I didn't feel in the mood to swoon at mushy romantic scenes. -_-
Anyway, have a lovely day ahead people. Girls and guys, now's the time to go ask that chick or dude out for V day if you haven't already ... Unless you're single and possibly dateless, then buy a few cans of coke and get some porno ready. LOL jkjk!
