MOVIES

I absolutely love everything about movies. I enjoy renting them and watching them at home, but I really like going out to see them while there in theaters. There’s always movie theater popcorn and Sour Patch Kids involved when I go to the cinema! But lately I’ve just been renting flicks and watching them in the comfort of my own home (aka my tiny apartment). Redbox is a wonderful thing; a dollar a night for a new release is great.
The last movie that I had the pleasure of viewing was Saw V. Sadly I wasn’t exactly satisfied with this film. I found myself somewhat confused; it was simply just too hard to follow at some points. But it didn’t let me down with the whole blood and gore part. Those movies are almost too hard for me to watch sometimes, I tend to have a weak stomach.
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is another movie I thought was worth viewing. Yet once again I was let down. I enjoyed the first two “Mummy” movies, so much that I actually grew to love the characters. Unfortunately the directors of the third film decided to change actress for the female lead. I was completely thrown off! I would have much rather seen the actress I was so familiar with, play the part. Other than that I felt the humor was dry and that this story was almost better left untold.
On a more positive note, I also watch the film, The Rocker. This movie did not disappoint me at all. Rainn Wilson played ‘Fish’ the lead character and he impressed me like he always does on “The Office”. I thought that the movie was great just in the fact that his new band got so far in the music industry in such little time. ‘ADD’ was the title of his band that consisted of his nephew and two of his nephews friends. I think that the movie sent a good message to people of all ages, but also was hilarious.
There are a few flicks I’m really eager to see such as: Twilight, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Yes Man. I know that Twilight has been out for a while, but I just haven’t made it to the theater to check it out. I’ll probably just wait until it comes out on DVD so I can rent it for a dollar. It’s much cheaper that way!!
