Okay, so since I'm heading up North and will be away from my computer all weekend, I figure I'll just write a quick post about the movies out tomorrow. I have to keep you informed, it's my job.
RocknRolla - Another Guy Ritchie movie who has produced such fine films as Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. If you haven't seen these, you must. They are awesome.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno - Seth Rogan is the newest funny-guy in Hollywood and his reputation precedes him (Superbad, Knocked Up, and Pineapple Express). This movie shouldn't be any less. Also, Elizabeth Banks is the underdog actress who appears in just about everything yet hardly anyone knows who she is. Look her up or go see the movie. I know she won't disappoint.
The Haunting of Molly Hartley - Some "scary" movie that's probably only PG-13 so I doubt it'll be too terrifying. I wouldn't bother.
Alright, I'm off to Flagstaff. I'm leaving you with 2, count 'em, 2 Quote Quizzes. Make you guesses now because I've already got another post in mind for my return. Ta ta! (I said "tata" : )

Connery. Sean Connery.
So there's nothing really interesting to say today. This is just to kill time in between classes (boo classes!). So let's do this thing!
DVDs out today
Journey to the Center of the Earth - First off, I love Brendan Fraser. Secondly, this DVD comes with 3D glasses! Cool! I wanted to see this in theaters but never got around to it so I'll be sure to Netflix this sucker.
Kit Kittredge - This is yet another American Girl movie that actually made it to theaters just because they finally got some good actors to sell it (i.e. Abigail Breslin, Joan Cusack, Stanley Tucci, and Chris O'Donnell...). Scratch that, they got some good actors and some well known actors that kind of suck now to sell this movie. Either way, I'm not going to go out of my way to see this one because I'm kind of past this type of "Goodie Two Shoes" kiddie movies. I prefer movies where the characters have flaws (i.e. Dory and her memory, Mr. Incredible and his secrets from his wife, Kuzco and his llama issues, etc.).
Tinkerbell - This one is going on Netflix for sure. Who doesn't love fairies? I know I do!
Zombie Strippers - I honestly have no comment about this movie. I just love the title.
Recently viewed movies:
Meet Bill - Yay Aaron Eckhart, Timothy Olyphant and Elizabeth Banks (and even Jessica Alba did a good job), but the center of this movie should be Logan Lerman. Never heard of him? Of course not, he's one of my secrets. He steals the show in this movie and has been in a bunch of stuff you've heard of with big name actors. So in other words he's the male version of Dakota Fanning. The crux of my new-found love for this kid is just that: he's a kid. He just turned 16 in January. That's younger than my brother. Alas.
Winter Passing - Wierdo movie with Will Ferrall, Ed Harris, and Zooey Deschanel, but I liked it simply because of Zooey Deschanel. She's my new favorite. Check her out in: The Happening, Bridge to Terabithia, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Elf, The New Guy, Failure to Launch, and Almost Famous.
The Rock - Yay Sean Connery!
Bandits - Awesome Bruce Willis flick at his finest (and with hair!). Also with Billy Bob Thornton and Cate Blanchett. Really funny movie, I suggest you watch it someday.
Goodies!
Underrated movie of the Post: Die Hard 3. I know that the first Die Hard is the best and I'm not contesting that. I'm simply stating the Die Hard 3 deserves some recognition because it is really awesome! Also, to come back from Die Hard 2 and produce a good movie is not only a risk, but a major feat considering what a let down the second one was. Most would give up! But not my Bruce. They put together a kickass cast (Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Irons) and a cool plot line and there it was! Yay!
Movies to see: Bandits, The Rock, Meet Bill, Tinkerbell, and Zombie Strippers (just because).
Actor of the Post: Sean Connery. He is the one true Bond. There I said it.
Name 7 Sean Connery: Indiana Jones 4, Playing By Heart, The Rock, James Bond, Entrapment, Hunt for Red October, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Sean Connery was in Entrapment with Catherine Zeta-Jones who was in Chicago with Queen Latifah who was in Beauty Shop with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.
I'm going to leave Quote Quiz #16 up since Molly is still out deliberating. But I'll still add a Quote Quiz #17.
Quote Quiz #17: What Sean Connery film is this quote from?
"If you can't do it with one bullet, don't do it at all."
a. Diamonds Are Forever
b. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
c. The Rock
d. Hunt for Red October

HSM (Half-witted Stupid Movie) 3
Because of a promise I supposedly made with my friends months and months ago, I am going to see High School Musical 3 at midnight tonight. Apparently, since it's a stupid movie, no one will be at this screening of the film and we'll be able to mock it openly. However, the fact that I'm paying to see this movie both in dollars and sleep, makes us just as dumb as the (adult) people who are going to see it for real. Also, I shouldn't be held accountable for things I say months and months ago. That is all.
~ Movies out tomorrow:
HSM 3 - Zac Efron's skin color is the same as his hair color. That is only one of the signs that he is the Devil.
Pride and Glory - Half of me wants to see this movie because it has Edward Norton in it, but the other half doesn't want to see it because it has Colin Farrell in it. Which half will win out? Who knows, I know I don't.
Saw V - The worst aspect of these movies is there are going to be two more after this one.
~Voting Game winners (even though, Katie never voted. Shame on you!)
>Captain America should be: Either Brad Pitt (Katrina's vote) or Garrett Hedlund (My vote).
>The most ridiculous picture of Edward is: C.
This is my vote because he looks utterly preposterous. Everyone else looks normal and he's all angry/angsty face. Dumb.
>Favorite Marvel movie: X-men simply because we all wrote it down in our answers.
>Most Looked-Forward-To movie: Quantum of Solace (even though it has a dumb name, I voted for it as well).
~A note on the Voting Game: You need to vote (Katie) for every one even if you don't have an opinion (Molly/Katrina). Just think of it as those inane personality quizzes where none of the answers really apply to you, but you have to pick one anyway. If you don't, it doesn't work.
~Goodies!
>Movie of the post: Hearts and Souls. This is an oldie from back before Robert Downey, Jr. was addicted to stuff *or in rehab for being addicted to stuff*. It is beyond cute and also stars Elizabeth Shue, Alfre Woodard, and (dum da da dum!) Kyra Sedgewick who is awesome because she's married to (dum da da dum!) Kevin Bacon! The story is adorable and so is RDJ, although I prefer him with his little goatee. Hot.
>Movies to see: Hearts and Souls. That's it! Nothing remotely worth seeing comes out this weekend. How sad.
>Actor of the post: RDJ since I've already mentioned him. There's a lovely quote I got via the Bumper Stickers application on Facebook (don't make fun of me) and it says: "Sorry your years of hard work weren't as fruitful as Robert Downey, Jr.'s years of snorting smack." I think that sums it up. Despite his past and what a cocky butthole* he is in the present, we can't help but love him. Why is this? His eyes. Have you seen Iron Man? Half of the movie, the screen is filled with his face and his gigantic brown eyes. They're beautiful. Illegitimate-child*.
>Name 7 Paul Bettany (who was in Iron Man with RDJ. I know it's a stretch): A Knight's Tale, Da Vinci Code, Beautiful Mind, Firewall, Iron Man, Secret Life of Bees, and Wimbledon.
>RDJ was in Hearts and Souls with Kyra Sedgewick who was in Loverboy with Kevin Bacon: 2 steps.
>Quote Quiz #15 winner: Molly! You're back in the race! Well done! The answer was Narnia which I thought it was probably a give-away with the dwarf bit, but he could have said it in one of the others. It could've just been an awesome insult. In fact, I'm going to use it one day...
>Quote Quiz #16: Which RDJ movie is this quote from?
"Doesn't that suck? I just hit you for no reason. I don't even know why."
a. Scanner Darkly
b. Tropic Thunder
c. Hearts and Souls
d. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
>Post Script: What do you think about my shortening of Robert Downey, Jr. to RDJ? I've never heard anyone else say it, so I started it if it goes global. You heard it here first! Haha.

The Voting Game!
DVD's out tomorrow!
Incredible Hulk - Yay Edward Norton!
Next Question: Is it just me or does Robert Pattinson look ridiculous in all of the Twilight Movie posters? You be the judge. Vote for your least favorite "Edward" look!
Next Question: What is your favorite Marvel movie so far?
Incredible Hulk - Yay Edward Norton!
The Strangers - Scary movie, NI (not interested).
So I've decided to have a little fun with this post. I will ask you a series of questions (accompanied by some lovely pictures) and you get to cast your vote accordingly! Fun, yes?
So I've decided to have a little fun with this post. I will ask you a series of questions (accompanied by some lovely pictures) and you get to cast your vote accordingly! Fun, yes?
First Question: A new film in the making will show superhero Captain America's life. Captain America, for those of you who don't know, is supposed to be an All-American man (hence the name) with blonde hair, blue eyes, but a weak composition (it kept him from joining the army to defend the US of A). So the question that everyone is buzzing about is: Who should be cast in the movie as this legendary figure? More aptly, who fits the bill? Here are a few options that either I have come up with or are rumored to have been offered the part:
Next Question: Is it just me or does Robert Pattinson look ridiculous in all of the Twilight Movie posters? You be the judge. Vote for your least favorite "Edward" look!
Next Question: What is your favorite Marvel movie so far?
Lastly, Which movie are you looking forward to the MOST (for the rest of October and all of November)? (Twilight fans (Molly), try thinking outside the box ; ) (E. is Australia, but everything else should be fairly easy to discern.)
Goodies!
Underrated Movie of the Post: Casino Royale (2006). While I still have my qualms about Daniel Craig being the new Bond, I have to admit that this movie is action packed and very well done. I'm pretty excited for the next one even though it has a stupid name (Quantom of Solace).
Movies to see/rent/research: Incredible Hulk, The First Avenger: Captian America, Twilight, Casino Royale, Quantom of Solace.
Actor of the Post: James McAvoy because he's so cool. I remember the first time I saw him (Becoming Jane) and I thought to myself "Self, why would they get this dude to play the romantic lead? He's not very good looking." And then by the end of the movie I was in love. James McAvoy has the magic ability to become better looking the longer you look at him just like a little Robert Pattinson I know. Good ole Cedric, how we miss thee.

Name 7 James McAvoy: Wimbledon, Becoming Jane, Wanted, Atonement, Penelope, Last King of Scotland, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
James McAvoy was in Wimbledon with Paul Bettany who was in the Da Vinci Code with Tom Hanks who was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.
Quote Quiz #14 winner: Katie! It's from b. Sugar & Spice. Molly get's runner-up again, but hey, silver is much shinier than gold : )
Quote Quiz #15: What James McAvoy movie is this from?
"And what about you? You must be some kind of beardless dwarf?"
a. Chronicle of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
b. Wanted
c. Wimbledon
d. Penelope
Post Script: My movies are up to 156! I added Iron Man and Sleeping Beauty, two must haves for this holiday season. Haha.

Post Post Script: I forgot to mention that on my cousin Molly's post there's the last preview for Twilight. I'm sure you all know from my copius ranting that I don't care for the other previews and therefore don't have much hope for the movie as a whole. While I still feel that it will be a over-dramatized disaster, this new trailor is slightly less horrible than the others. Check it out, there's a link down on the right called Molly & Molly or just YouTube it.
Post Post Post Script: I just saw The Secret Life of Bees and I'm happy to report that this isn't the movie I thought it was. In other words, Paul Bettany isn't a rapist! Yay.

Overload
I've been out of the loop for the past week because homework was most literally created by the Devil who loves to heap it upon you all at once, especially when you don't have time for it. Curses. Because of this, I've missed a lot in the movie production industry and must now compensate. I warn you, there's a lot, so make sure you have more time than it usually takes to read my stupid blog or skim.
DVD releases I've missed:
Ironman - Yay.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Wasn't interested while in theaters, but Netflix says I'm going to give it 4.5 stars out of 5 and Kristina swears by it so I'm going to give it a shot. Thank you computer and cousin!
The Happening - Marky-Mark and Zooey Deschanel out run a mysterious something that causes you to commit suicide. It's a Shyamalan and approach with caution because some of the scenes of suicide are pretty graphic. So watch out Aunt Janette!
Sleeping Beauty - The classic Disney movie which just makes you happy to watch it. Plus it's only 76 minutes so why not give it a shot?
You Don't Mess with the Zohan - Alex dragged me to this movie and, like Mike Myers' Love Guru, it is classic Adam Sandler. So if you are a die hard Sandler fan, rent this. You're sure to love it.
Indiana Jones 4 - I will eventually get this movie, but it's not something I'm going to run out and get straight away. I think that speaks volumes.
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything - Veggie Tales! I was planning to see this movie in theaters, but I honestly can't remember it ever being in theaters. How sad.
Movies that came out in theaters last Friday:
The Express - The first time I saw this trailer, I was choked up, literally. The trailer almost made me cry. I think that goes to say this movie is probably really good and I am going to try to see it as soon as possible. Plus I love Dennis Quaid. His smile makes his face all crinkle-y.
Quarantine - Scary movie about being trapped in a crazy-ass apartment complex with people who try to eat you or something. Not scary enough? The freaking police are the ones trapping you inside! That's a big NI (not interested).
City of Ember - Something about living underground. I'll probably see it if I run out of things to see.
Body of Lies - Another Leonardo DiCaprio film where he's in a high-pressure situation AND has nasty facial hair. Why grow out a goatee to obscene lengths? I ask you. Anyway, my Arthurian Literature professor said it wasn't very good. Not like I was planning on seeing it anyway.
Movies that come out this Friday (in case I crap out on you all again)
Max Payne - I am very pumped up for this movie even though no one seems to want to see it with me (right away at least. My dad's all for going in a week or so when "the crowd" dies down. Bleh). Marky-Mark and Mila Kunis star in this weird action/horror-ish movie that is vaguely reminiscent of Constantine. And we all know how much I love Constantine.
Sex Drive - I honestly don't know much about this movie except that it stars James Marsden and Seth Green on a cross-country trip so that James Marsden can lose his virginity to some hot chick he met on the Internet. Winner. I'm going to see it because I want to see if James Marsden gets the girl in the end. Don't understand? That's a story for another post.
The Secret Life of Bees - This is the much-talked-about Dakota Fanning movie where she apparently gets raped. Controversial, no? Well it is even more so in my book because I'm afraid that Paul Bettany, who plays her father, is going to end up the rapist and I love him too much for that! I wanna see it though because of Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah, and Paul Bettany, rapist or no. Also, Hilarie Burton from One Tree Hill is also supposed to be in it. Yay Peyton!
W. - I can't figure out if I want to see this movie or not. On one hand it looks hilarious, but on the other it might be too political for me (I mean political satire which, in my opinion, is the lowest form of satire mostly because I don't usually get it). It's got some pretty great actors in it, though. So if you like political satire and hate George W, then I suggest you partake.
Goodies!
Underrated movie of the post: The Mask. Jim Carrey is awesome. Incidentally he's got a new movie coming out that looks to be more of his kind of deal (like Mike Myers and Adam Sandler). Not that I don't love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Number 23, but I miss funny Jim. Serious Jim can get you down sometimes.
Movies to see: Ironman, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Happening, Sleeping Beauty, The Express, Max Payne, Secret Life of Bees, and The Mask.
Random thought of the post: Still very sorry for the last post that you had to stare at for the past week. I was just reading it again and am even more embarrassed than when I was writing it. However, it has given me an idea for a new Goodie. Starting next post, I'm going to add "Actor of the post" to the list and give you updates on whoever strikes my fancy at that particular moment. Exciting.
Name 7 Julianne Moore: Children of Men, Boogie Nights, Forgotten, Laws of Attraction, Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Evolution, Blindness.
Shia LaBeouf was in Eagle Eye with Michelle Monaghan who was in North Country with Charlize Theron who was in Trapped with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.
Quote Quiz #13 winner: No one! The answer was Four Brothers. Katie I suggest that next time you don't overestimate my thought process because I didn't even think about anything you just said. It was just the funniest quote. Smolls I suggest that if coming in second place you give a different answer than the person before you just in case they're wrong. Because Katie was W-R-O-N-G. Haha. Just kidding, love you both.
Quote Quiz #14: What movie is this James Marsden quote from?
"Who would you be, Count Chocula or Trix Rabbit?"
a. Hairspray
b. Sugar & Spice
c. Disturbing Behavior
d. Gossip

Ode to Garrett Hedlund
Ladies, I present to you the perfect man:
Try to convince me otherwise. I dare you. I've been admiring this specimen of human nature since the "winner" that was Troy and I have to tell you that it's only gotten better from there. Not only is he beyond beautiful, but the kid can act. I shouldn't really say "kid" seeing as how he's almost four years older, but you get my point.
What brought this on? I watched Four Brothers with my brother earlier this evening and was reminded once again how this man takes my breath away. The second I saw him on the screen, I knew I had fallen all over again.
I know I'm sounding like a crazy. I realize that. So I've decided to refrain from watching Garrett Hedlund movies as much as I can to prevent a recurrence of this incident. I apologize, good night.
Garrett Goodies!
Underrated Garrett Hedlund movie: Death Sentence. This movie was beyond awesome. Not only did it have senseless violence/gore, but the acting wasn't half bad. It had John Goodman, Kelly Preston, and Aisha Tyler. But that's not all! Kevin Bacon, yes the Kevin Bacon co-stars with Garrett Hedlund making this movie top on my list of things to buy (but not watch haha).
All of Garrett Hedlund's movies to see (don't worry, he's relatively new so there isn't much): I'll start with the best and work my way down. Death Sentence, Four Brothers, Georgia Rule (watch out for this one, it takes you by surprise), Eragon, Troy and Friday Night Lights.
Random thought of the post: How embarrassed would I be if, for some impossible and inexplicable reason, the guy actually read this? The words "awkward" and "awesome" come to mind, but I'm sure I would just laugh until I passed out. Good times. Haha.
Name 6 (almost 7) Garrett Hedlund: Troy, Four Brothers, Friday Night Lights, Eragon, Georgia Rule, Death Sentence. (Hectic comes out in '09 so that makes seven for you sticklers out there).
Garrett Hedlund was in Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon: 1 step.

A. Four Brothers

All of Garrett Hedlund's movies to see (don't worry, he's relatively new so there isn't much): I'll start with the best and work my way down. Death Sentence, Four Brothers, Georgia Rule (watch out for this one, it takes you by surprise), Eragon, Troy and Friday Night Lights.
Random thought of the post: How embarrassed would I be if, for some impossible and inexplicable reason, the guy actually read this? The words "awkward" and "awesome" come to mind, but I'm sure I would just laugh until I passed out. Good times. Haha.
Name 6 (almost 7) Garrett Hedlund: Troy, Four Brothers, Friday Night Lights, Eragon, Georgia Rule, Death Sentence. (Hectic comes out in '09 so that makes seven for you sticklers out there).
Garrett Hedlund was in Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon: 1 step.

Vice-Presidential Debate...
This is what I'm doing instead of watching the debate like my father is forcing me to. All they do is talk and talk about nothing. Sarah Palin mentions "hockey moms" too much and Biden looks like he has more than one foot in the grave. Why is everyone freaking out about McCain's age when Biden looks just as bad? And he's younger!
Tomorrow is Friday and that means new movies! We've got a lot coming out this week. I'll list in order of importance, as always. All of them look to be winners.
Blindness - This movie looks beyond cool and I'm really excited about seeing it. Shyamalan-esque, everyone in the world goes blind except for Julianne Moore who refuses to leave her affected husband (Mark Ruffalo) when he's quarantined. Eventually everything goes to hell and gets really interesting.
Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist - Major teeny-bopper movie, but it has Michael Cera in it and he's so cute. It looks pretty funny as a whole so why not indulge? I just suggest you go to a matinee or an extremely late show so you won't be overrun with the teenagers. Trust me, I'm a professional at this maneuver.
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People - Simon Pegg from Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Run Fatboy Run stars in this movie poking fun at Hollywood and the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Kirsten Dunst and Jeff Bridges look to make acceptable performances and Megan Fox is also there acting like a slut. Surprised? Me either.
Beverly Hills Chihuahua - Talking dogs? Yeah...
Flash of Genius - Now I love Greg Kinnear and Lauren Graham a freaking lot, but this movie just looks way too dramatic and depressing. I looked up whether or not they win the fight in the end. If you don't already know, Google. (Cool motto.)
Goodies
Underrated movie of the post: Nim's Island. I finally got around to watching this movie and I have to say it was worth the wait. Sure it's a kid's movie, but Gerard Butler shows up not as one character, but two. One with an American accent and the other with his sexy Scottish one. Abigail Breslin is coming into her own and I hope she goes strong and doesn't disappear like a majority of all child stars do. I think she's got great potential. Jodie Foster is pretty funny as well which is surprising considering all of her other dramatic roles. Very refreshing.
Movies to see: Blindness, Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, Nim's Island.
Name 7 John Cusack: Better Off Dead, Must Love Dogs, High Fidelity, Grosse Point Blank, 1408, Identity, Anastasia.
Helena Bonham Carter was in Harry Potter 5 with Emma Thompson who was in Love, Actually with Colin Firth who was in Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon: 3 steps.
Quote Quiz #11 winner: Molly! Congrats, yo. I'm proud. I'm also glad that the multiple choice is working out so well.
Quote Quiz #12: "Everything in this room is eatable, even *I'm* eatable! But that is called "cannibalism," my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies." It's kind of an easy one, but I couldn't pass it up.
a. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
b. James and the Giant Peach
c. BFG
d. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
(Ooo, which one is it? Muah ha ha!)
