Okay. I haven't seen UP yet. But I will today. I've heard good things about it. I've wanted to see it since I saw a theatrical preview for it a while back.
I HATE expecting a certain level of entertainment from a movie that has been surrounded by a lot of hype. I've been sorely disappointed before. It's really difficult not to get caught up in the hype though.
But, just going from my initial excitement for it months ago, the projected personal enjoyment level is:
Yea... we've covered this- I'm a nerd sometimes. My guilty pleasure- Transformers. I LOVED that movie though I never watched the cartoon as a kid. I didn't know the characters' names or anything like that prior to seeing the movie but I must have watched it like 70 times already (Thank God for OnDemand!). Now that the NEW ONE is a'comin... my nerd senses are tingling!
It looks pretty good too...I can't wait!!! Yea...some people complain because it's all CGI and that that seems to be the trend that our music videos/movies, etc seem to be heading....but I have no problem with that. You won't catch me enjoying the old Godzilla with the dude in the costume - GIVE ME GRAPHICS! MAKE THAT SHIT LOOK REAAAAAAL....BETTER THAN REAL! Lol. And it comes out the day before my big trip to Vegas....gonna have to pause the drinking and cavorting for 2 hours to go and see this!
SO EXCITED FOR NEW MOON!!! A look at the SEXYWolf Pack:
I can't wait until the second movie installment of the Twilight Saga comes out in November! However, I am a little worried at how quickly it is coming out after the joke they called the first movie installment of Twilight. I'm hoping the new director will do a better job than the first.
MmmMmm...."Paul"...and "Jacob"...drool..definitely wouldn't mind hanging out at the clubhouse when these strapping young men traipse in there all nakey...
My excitement level:
In case you wanted to holla at that YUMMY screen cap...
What IS it about the Fast + Furious franchise that's SO appealing to me?! I mean I don't know cars. Sure, I can ID a bunch of logos but I know nothing about the magicalinner workings of vehicles. I'm just proud I figured out how to refill the wiper fluid all by myself.
I guess I'm a sucker for adrenaline movies but still...there is just something else about fast cars and more fast cars that does it for me. A little bit of wanting to drive that incredibly fast and be good at it. Something about being that girl in the garage. Shrug. Just a little fantasy.
I am SUPER excited for Fast and Furious!!! The fourth movie in the line-up. How can you NOT be excited?! Watch first. I'll explain the enthusiasm afterward. Watch:
So WHY am I pushing this movie so hard? Because it has all the elements I enjoyed from the three movies that came before this next one. 1. The cast from the The Fast and The Furious (the first one) is back. I liked certain characters in the second and third movies but I really enjoyed the first cast as a whole. 2.Also, The Fast and the Furious had the insanely cool heist-at-high-speeds tricks that the other two movies lacked. I am definitely looking forward to more of that. 3. The plot for 2Fast 2Furious included a purpose to the debauchery other than "We're criminals. We're adrenaline junkies. It's how we do."The characters had motives and motivation. Desperation, really. But it's a powerful motivator. 4. The director of Tokyo Drift is directing this new one. I have to say, Justin Lin's direction may have been the only saving grace on the payroll for a movie about a boy with a deep deep deep southern drawl living in the middle of Japan.
FAST AND FURIOUS comes out this Friday, April 3rd.
SEE YOU THERE!!!

Now I was never up on the video games but who DIDN'T know who Chun-Li is?! Of course when Street Fighter first came out, it was a load of stereotypes perpetuated to perpetuate sales and Chun-Li came out in cutesy hair buns and a skankified qipao. From the looks of the trailer, it seems the movie managed to update its social etiquette manual and Chun-Li (played by Kristin Kreuk who found fame in another superhuman fantasy) looks...normal. What a relief! (Just a note, Kreuk is of mixed descent, not full-whateverAsiandescent. That may mean something to some people, but it doesn't really matter to me all that much...enough to mention the fact but not enough to piss myself over it.)
In this movie, Chun-Li is an InterPol agent out to avenge her father's death. I mean it's a movie based on a video game. Minimal plot is needed a long as the action fills up that void. So far, it looks alright. Check it out when it comes out on Friday!
