Prisoners

First up on the back log in movies is the gem of the bunch. While I liked many of the other movies I'll be discussing, this one was on a whole my favorite. Hugh Jackman's performance was outstanding and the two and a half hours of my life I spent in the theater was well worth it. If you haven't seen this yet and get the chance, do so. Without further ado, here is Prisoners.

I'm Baaacckk!

I'm baaacckk! I've been working on my outline for Madness lately. I should be done with it soon and be able to move on to the pilot script. FINALLY!

I've also started working on outlines for both Silent Partner and Relation. I'm considering a third draft of Wonderful Life and working on corrections in preparation for a fourth draft of Curse the Sea. Aaanndd, I got some new ideas to map out too. Sooo, busy.

I'm finishing up on one internship and got a new job, which will hopefully help me get a new, more affordable apartment. I'm still trying to find the an assistant job at a Literary Agency, so if anybody's hiring...

But, I'd like to get back into this blog. I work at a theater now, so I get to watch a lot of movies for free. I'd like to tell people about the best films out there so they don't spend their money on crap.

Also, as you know, I love TV. We're closing in on the end of premiere season, and while it's a little late, I want to talk about some of the new shows on TV.

So be on the look out for some good stuff soon.

Warm Bodies

I'd like to say that I took a year off on purpose, but that was not the case. After I took a managerial position at work and was on call all the time, it became hard for me to find enough time and especially energy to sit down and write pretty much anything. So, yeah, Madness and the other scripts I was working on went on hiatus too.

Plus, my grandmother passed away. It's been a long hard year without her. However, I knew she would have wanted me to focus on my dreams, so I quit my job and moved to Los Angeles. Currently looking for a job if anybody's hiring! ;)

Anyway, back this time with a new movie. Hopefully, some new TV and books reviews are on the way. I may even get the videogame section up and running.

This time we are looking at the sci-fi romantic comedy, Warm Bodies.

The Hangover II

Movie Review numero dos!

Though I watched it, I never got to review the first Hangover here because it was out before I started this blog. Doesn't matter much though. There really isn't much difference between I and II.

So consider this a duel post. I'll keep this one short and sweet.

Thor

So, here comes the first of the movie reviews. This is one of the three superhero flicks I went to see this summer. It wasn't the best, but it was damn close!!

I was very excited to watch this movie, especially after learning that the director was best known for his Shakespearian remakes. That being the case, I had high hopes that this movie would be a skillfully crafted story encased in a special effects rich action adventure. I was not disappointed.

Thor chronicles the comic book version of the classic Norse myth depicting how Odin banished his heir to Earth to learn responsibility and selflessness, while his brother Loki stages a coup in Asgard.

I would say go out and see it in theaters; but seeing as that time has kind of passed, instead, I'll say go out and rent it at Blockbuster (I am no longer advocating Netflix due to their crappy change in service) and watch it on a home theater system. Surround sound works best for this type of film.

RED

While I was on vacation, my friends (one of which works in a theater) wanted me to go see something with them. Well, in my opinion, there's not a lot in theaters right now worth watching.

I mean come on, Saw or Paranormal Activity 2!? Those are the kinds of movies my friends and I rent and then make fun of the entire time, laughing hysterically when people get body parts chopped off.

So, we went to see this one, for free I might add.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Like my The Last Airbender post, this was also something I transfered from my LJ page.
(PS - I also wrote this in July)

Not a bad movie. Not a great movie. But, a good family movie. Rent it for your kids or the kid in you.

The Last Airbender

This is a review I actually posted to my LJ account back on July 12th. I decided to go back and pull it because I think it's one people should really look at if they're contemplating seeing the movie or (like my friend Jordan) walked out on it early. It's no Harry Potter, but it's really worth a watch some time.
