Aloha!
after a lazy week with nothing much to do... I bled my eyes out trying to catch up on some of the movies i haven't watched yet.. so far.. i finished 6 movies... but here are the latest 3 and i decided to be a trying-hard-movie-critic. hehehe. enjoy my reviews!
1. Another Gay Movie
- my gay friend picked this movie for us to watch.. this was quite gross and I would have never EVER had the courage to see this movie alone. The movie is a low budgeted (i think) parody of American Pie, with 4 gay friends wanting to be devirginized before going to college.. they go on a boy/man hunt to fulfill this... and their individual sexual adventure begins... it was almost an American pie/queer eye for the straight guy/scary movie 1/[insert an m2m porn film title here] rolled into one chaotic gay movie.. OK.. it was sooo durrrty, filthy and has GAYdom posted all over it.. But some scenes were sooo funny and irresistibly naughty and I guess.. if you are straight/no gay friends with you or that you know of... you can't possibly relate to this movie. Well.. this movie is definitely not suitable for the faint of heart and homophobes...i think the challenge is to find the right audience to appreciate this film...Sure.. some raunchy scenes ever so often(some of which i could not stand looking at..) but hey.. some cheap laughs every now and then wont hurt right? =)
i give it a 3 out of 10 rating
2. The Last Kiss
- Dean is the person responsible for this. He was the one who introduced me to the world of the genius and super hot Zach Braff. This is his current movie to date. The film basically revolves around the life of Michael, a 29 year old guy who has got it everything going on for him. a beautiful girlfriend, Jenna who is 10 weeks pregnant, sometimes-screwed-up- friends, high paying job that he loves..and that he is starting to get bored by his seemingly perfect life. the films catch phrase is "we all make choices, what's yours?" I think this is about a point in a 29++ mans life where he needs to decide on where he wants to lead up his life... he can have the life that he always wanted.. he could screw it up.. or he can take an adventure finding out what he really wants..i applaud the movie for being realistic and relatable (is there such a word?) and the supporting actors/actresses. Jacinda Barrett was great portraying Jenna. she was sooooooo hearbreakingly real. lovable, neurotic, jealous, crazy, beautiful. and the guys were hilarious too. I love it when Chris answered the door in nude when his pal Kenny went into his pad..Rachel was quite good portraying the musician-student-cutie pie-seductress-clingy teenager. Well.. this movie is a bit of a disappointment (for me) compared with Braff's previous genius movie.. Garden State. but then.. maybe when i get into my late 20's and early 30's i can have a better much understanding on what this film is all about..But still.. this is one of the intelligent movies i have seen this year. Funny, witty and sexy. One more thing. I loooooooove the soundtrack. I guess Zach has done it again. =)
i give it a 6 out of 10 rating
3. Batman Begins
- let us make this short and simple. THE BEST BATMAN MOVIE EVER! so believable! the stunts were awesome and the story line was fabulous. It wasn't as cheesy as the other batman series that i have seen. and kudos to Christian Bale for being the BEST Bruce Wayne... Sexy yet mysterious. Though i HATE Katie Holmes... Was she even trying to act? her face was as blank as a slate. Nolan was pretty good too. He brought some definite spice in the act. Alfred was sooo adorable. ^_^ I heard they were so pleased with Bale's and Nolan's performance. that they are gearing up for another film in 2008. Can't wait for the next installment..
i give it a 8.5 out of 10 rating
