I've done a lot of watching than socializing these holidays. Wait when I think of it... socializing is catching up. And that reminds me, exactly a month til uni starts. Shoot me. Not ready. Don't think anyone is but once we start, we'll get the jist of it. Omg which also reminds me LOL I see Ed Sheeran in less than a month in concert. Yay! Nooooooooooooooo I still haven't paid sis. Ugh. I should pay her now before I go broke.

Just like Bobs, I've watched more of movies than tv shows. I like movies more. I want to be in the movies one day. I've watched a lottttt. And I didn't keep a record so I'm gonna look through my hard drive and pick out the ones I have watched. Most of them are recent and all of them, I've watched at home and not at the cinemas.

-I'm not copying your post bobs, just simply improving it mwhuahuahua-

Also, some spoilers. They're shown by their underlined titles. Along with that, I'll post the trailer incase you've never heard of the movie before :)

1. Life of Pi- The story was not what I expected. A lot of.... very unbelievable things that would not happen in reality yet when you're in the middle of watching the movie you don't think of it. At the end, you just think... wow... they make something so impossible seem so real. In terms of the graphics and soundscape, the special effects were really cool and amazing. To put it in comparison with Avatar (the movie), Avatar looks crap LOL Avatar is weakly animated as it just looked... unrealistic but for Pi, it made the water and and that whole whale over the boat thing (it's in the trailer so I didn't spoil anything yet) seem so magical. In accordance to the story, it was confusing towards the end because it was narrated by the lead character but he made enough sense for me to understand LOL Other than that, the plot was creative. The only unrealistic thing was how large the waters/ waves were during this storm scene and he managed to stay alive and the tiny boat he was in survived. The waves were freaking huge and chaotic.. how can you and your boat stay afloat? seriously LOL I give this 8/10. 

 


2. Argo- Omg. Best film ever. I think it may be my favourite. If you haven't watched the Golden Globes/ Critics Choice or SAG awards, basically Ben Affleck won best director and best film. Argo is Afflecks first ever film he has won for best director so... it was a huge achievement for him to win the award as he was up against experienced directors such as Steven Spielberg and Quinton Tarantino. BUT ANYWAY, the movie was the bomb! When critics say 'You were on the edge of your seat' - I was literally on the edge of my seat... well.. I was on a bed... so I was on the edge of the bed. FAR OUT, it's so good. I don't mean to overreact but the plot, directorial skills were spot on too (now I can understand why he won) and that freaking suspense with or without sound, came at the right time. The movie was so easy to understand. I think I loved it because it was history LOL There were times when I was like 'Cmonnnnnn cmonnnn, pleaseeeee!!!!' because I just wanted this or that to happen. THE WHOLE MOVIE WAS BASED AROUND HOPE AND god, I desperately wanted hope to become so deeply involved in the plot. You just... you wanted things to go right. THAT IS ALL. I wanted to give this a 10/10 but... nah so I'll give it 9.5/10 LOL 




3. Les Miserables- I think I wrote one before in one of my previous posts. Well I'll point out the pros and cons. Pros: Plot is awesome. Songs are catchy. Eddie Redmayne LOL. I liked the scenery and the whole history of the French Revolution. Cons: Russell Crowes' singing. Sometimes the songs were too long, I got a bit restless. I wanted more dialogue. Kind of disappointed in Anne Hathaway's performance. I give 7/10.




4. Zero Dark Thirty- The most recent movie I've watched. Watched it on Friday night. The movie is lengthy... just like the other 3 LOL I think the fact it felt long was because the beginning was quite slow. What I did a lot during the movie was cover my ears and eyes. There were times that were too scary and real to watch, you just don't want to watch it at all. How do I say it... mentally scarring. If you want to watch a documentary on the journey to finding Osama Bin Laden and how he was killed, this is for you. It became too violent for me at one point but towards the end, it was a thriller. Good thriller LOL And Jessica Chastain who played the lead character who actually finds Bin Laden, was disappointing.. for me though LOL Because she won awards for best actress in this movie beating other actresses and while I was watching I thought to myself 'She didn't do enough to win. She acted but she just didn't do enough!!!' But the end was awesome,full of suspense and relief. I give this an 8/10.




5. The Impossible- Now when I compare The Impossible with the rest of the movies I've watched, it puts this one to a very low degree :/ I was in love with the movie. It made me cry and curl up in a ball when seeing the two young boys scream 'LUCASSS LUCASSSSSS LUCASSSS'. I still think it's good but... god I don't know what has changed LOL The Impossible is good on a sad/ gloomy/ stormy/ melancholy/ snuggleinbedwithtea kind of day. Yeah... I won't go into detail. I'll give it a..... 7.5/10. 




6. Lincoln- LOL sadly, I did not finish the movie. It was way too long. I managed to watch half an hour of it because it was soooooooooo boring. I thought I'd like it because it's American Presidency but .... it was too detailed, they had to fit everything in, made sure the facts were there and this is what happened. It was just too long and too boring. Daniel Day Lewis however, made a bloody good Lincoln. He certainly looked like him too LOL I'll give the movie another try another day but I can't do it now. The boredom of the movie still pervades my mind. I'm not gonna rate it because I didn't finish it.




7. Perks of being a Wallflower- So cute hehe. Logan Lerman you beautiful soul. When you said 'Don't cry, don't cry' - I cried for ya LOL And you have no idea how many times I rewatched the scene when Charlie called his sis on the phone and he started blaming himself for his aunty's death and his sis was like '-waving hand- call the police and send them to my address' something like that. I really liked that scene. As for Emma Watson and her American accent, it wasn't the greatest but it didn't bug me while I was watching. Only when the movie finished, I began to reevaluate the movie and thought, Emma didn't do a great accent. What a shame. OH WELL. I give it 8/10. 




8. Silver Linings Playbook- I watched a bit of it. I couldn't find the comedic side of the movie because IT KEPT WINNING AWARDS FOR BEST COMEDY LOL Maybe it's a subtle comedy and not the kind of slapstick 21 Jump St and Anchorman type of comedy. Yeah I only watched probably 15 minutes because I was preoccupied with something else but from that 15 minutes I picked up a bit of the story and thought that Jennifer Lawrences' character is so weird. Just weird and strange and ... weird.  




9. 10 years- Cool movie. So... mature and at the same time relatable. Stars Channing Tatum and his real life wife who plays his girlfriend in the movie. I don't know how to explain it.. I just noticed my reviews are getting shorter and shorter LOL Anyways 10 years is kind of like a movie with a impromptu script. Things just happen out of nowhere but it fits. It's a casual movie to enjoy with probably someone you like or is with. Yeah I like it.. it was a lovely film :) Rate it 8.5/10.  




10. Pitch Perfect- I get so frustrated at Rebel Wilson because she can't act but she's selected for the role because she's funny. Her accent is appalling... just whyyyyyy cast her?! The movie was funny though and the singing was good. The whole vomiting thing was completely unexpected, I kind of laughed 'HA!' on the spot LOL Ummm I don't know what else to say so I give it a 7/10. 




Next I'll watch Cosmopolis, Django Unchained, Hick and Anna Karenina.

Oh! Hurry up Gatsby >:(
