  3. I'm waiting to see Fellowship, but the beginning in the Shire or whatever is so slow and boring I never make it past the fireworks.
  4. This January I've spent around $40 on movies. This week I'm seeing A Separation so that's another 12-13, and then maybe Hugo but I doubt it.
  5. We spend our days confessing our love for Meryl Streep and how much we hate our history class. Video games never come up in a conversation.YEEEEEEEEP, we all walked out of Super 8, there were at least five or six of us, and we were like, "HOLY GOD I WANT TO MAKE A MOVIE" so that night we discussed plots. It's a super confusing psychological thriller :Pbythewayyoustolemybirthday
  6. The magazine he works for is called Millenium
  7. The series is called the Millennium Trilogy.
  8. Some scenes in this movie are so funny they make me laugh for like five minutes.
  9. I love Elle Driver. "Go smoke some pot or something, I'll be there soon."
  10. I thought it was really funny. I love Cameron Diaz. LOL AND THE OTHER TEACHER. OH MY GOD SHE'S HILARIOUS.
  11. So are there really no subtitles? I might just watch it to see how much of the Japanese I understand then
  12. Compared to The Dark Knight it's like the worst movie ever. What I do love is what Batman looks like with the hallucination gas thing. That should be what he looks like all the time. But the whole releasing gas and train going into a building or whatever is dumb.
  13. Inspired my friends and I to make a movie. Starts filming next week I believe. If we can get anyone to be in it
  14. My review for the school paper, lol. But before that, I love it. And Jennifer Ehle rocks. On the bus ride home from Contagion, you may find yourself shifting uncomfortably in your seat as you hear a cough or a sneeze. You’ll get out the Purell and rub it violently into your hands, cover your face with your hoodie and hope the bus drives faster. Contagion, released on Sept. 9, 2011 to a $22.4 million opening weekend in 3,222 theaters chronicles the outbreak and race to find the cure of a new and unknown disease as it ravages through the continents. The movie has an ensemble cast including Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marion Cotillard, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Lawrence Fishburne, and more. Most of the characters don’t know each other - the story is told through many different plot lines; some characters claim to have the cure, and others try to find the origin of the disease. Needless to say, Contagion requires full attention to keep track of the 105 minute narrative - you may be in China one moment and California the next. The cast all play their parts well: Damon is an overprotective father, Law is a journalist seeking answers, and Winslet is a doctor racing against time. While everyone is at the top of their game, Cotillard doesn’t add anything to the movie; her plot line doesn’t relate to the others, and she is just used as bait for a kidnapper. The filmmakers probably realized her, as they ignored her plot line at the end of the movie. To make up for the potentially confusing plot, Contagion boasts superior cinematography; this movie is amazing to look at. There’s a contrast in styles; the indoor settings are simple and clean, with many close-ups to show the varying emotions of the characters. On the other hand, the outside shots depict a post-apocalyptic wasteland: garbage is strewn about the streets, stores are broken into and empty, and people are scrambling for supplies and food. Another high point is the score. The music is electronic to fit with the theme, a high tech thriller with the world frenziedly trying to find a cure. The titles are simple: “They’re Calling My Flight” is the first on the soundtrack, as Paltrow is ready to board a flight home. The music builds tension, starting ominously like a breeze at the end of the world, becoming louder and more frantic as time runs out, which compliments the movie perfectly. The loose ends are tied up in the last few minutes: the outbreak is explained from how it began to how it spread, and a map illustrates how quickly it spread. It’s a satisfying conclusion that gives closure and a feeling along the lines of, “I need to wash my hands right now.” Contagion currently has an 83% “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a score of 70/100 on Metacritic. This is the rare entertaining September movie in the consistently lowest grossing (and lowest quality) month. Go see it. And bring hand sanitizer.
  15. So hilarious. "Very visually dynamic" is the phrase I think. That part makes this movie retarded beyond anything ever.
