- basically: MOVIES R MY LIFE!!!!! I eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I like all kinds but in particular the "Academy Award-worthy films. Not 2 b stuffy or anything, but I like movies that have real quality with irony, insight into things that Im not used 2 seeing. I like interesting characters and seeing things that havent been done before. I will watch ANY type of genre...as long as it is done well. I want 2 somehow do something involving cinema when I get older (in my dreams lol)
I am unique, different from most. Some of my skills include, drawing, dancing, singing, playing instruments, and acting

TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and other stuff
YEAR IN REVIEW:
Wow! This was an INCREDIBLE year for movies! I have done a lot of top 10 lists in my day, but this year’s list was by far the hardest to make. This was the year the blockbuster films made their comeback (woo!). After several years of “ the little indie film that could” syndrome that has dominated past award seasons, America has proved yet again that big budget mainstream films are NOT just a bunch of noise (The Dark Knight, Wall-E, and Iron Man stood out from the bunch.). These k… Continue

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!!! My Top 10 Favorite Horror Films Countdown. . .
10. THE BIRDS (1963)
"The Birds" is a rare film, in that the phenomenon of frequent bird attacks is never explained. One might argue that the film lacks a point and a foundation because of such unanswered questions. I will admit that at first the unexplained "war of the birds" did bother me and the ending left me baffled, but the more I think about it, the more I think, why do we as audience members feel it is necessary to know the cause of these disastrous events? After a while, I began to… Continue

My Top 10 Favorite War Films
10. MASH (1970): No, I am not talking about the television show "MASH." I am speaking of the original film, "MASH", that inspired the beloved series. This film struck the hearts of many Americans because we were in the midst of the Vietnam war, and had been subjected to such brutality and degeneracy for several years. Of all the films on this list, this film is the only comedy dealing with war. While "MASH" is extremely witty and hilarious, in a strange ironic way, I consider the film to be a bi… Continue

Top 10 Greatest Movie Musical Stars!!!
10. JUDY GARLAND
When I think of some of the great screen goddesses of all time. Judy Garland is one of those names that always seem to appear. Judy was one of the most inspirational and magical actresses to ever grace the screen with her presence. She had a sweet almost serendipitous quality to her acting. She was cheerful and pleasant, lovable and delightful. I could think of a million different adjectives to describe her. Judy Garland has left a mark on motion picture history with some of… Continue

I have to say I thought it was all great!
the right heroic character arc for the main guy.
Agreed Clive Owens heroics were more real and understated and pretty
much the same role and
I absolutely love Children of Men but
after all the summer Hollywood bullshit I thought Blomkemp
showed the bigger
budget boys a thing or two about bang for buck and how to construct
a coherent action sequence that
served the plot, looked stunning and wasn't just
CG for CGs sake!
Can't wait to see what he comes up with next
;)
LOL of course its ok !! :)
Its just unusual that an older member who has not added me already would add me so much later is all.
Mostly the new people I welcome send me invites, but new friends are always welcome :)
So may I ask. Where do I stick out the most in such a way to be noticed besides welcoming?
You mentioned blogs and things but is there anything specific?
Just curious is all.
Also how does today find you? Is all well?
Since you have been here a while on the site so I was not able to give you a welcome.
May I ask what I have done to be honored by your request?
So you didn't like Indiana Jones: Kingdom of Crystal Skull. I got to admit that aliens were too much but I liked the way it has same kind of vibe in it than the Indiana Jones movies before. Monkey scene was just hilarious and we can't forget scene where he survived nuclear explosion by being inside fridge. Chose that's what Indiana Jones Is all about.
What about TV-series, watch eny? Meaby Heroes?
Black Knigth was too long. It's good they try to make it realistic and all but when grown man with no superpower puts on batsuit and tryes to save the city from criminals it dosent mix well... Or does it? I don't really know what to say about that film but i't didn't woke much feelings. In most of the movies I wait something to happen but when watching this, I just watched it and that's it. Meaby it was brilliant movie and made with skill but as a experience it was nothing special.
I hope my writings don't sound too negative. I like your profile and you have good movie taste. Sorry for my bad english.
