Possession (or The Possession): 8.5/10

I liked the movie, very well done. Ghost House has yet to disappoint me with their horror flicks, and I love horror so I look for the best. I didn't like the ending so much, but the abruptness is fun. I don't want to say too much about it, in case you decide to watch it.

Wreck-It Ralph - 85/100

Wreck-It Ralph may suffer from some fan service hype overdose ever since they announced that plenty of Capcom, Nintendo, and SEGA characters would be on the movie making cameos, and mentioned cameos really do not make that much of a big impact on the movie rather than just some clever gags that will move away of the plot fast.

That said, the movie has pretty imaginative game worlds inspired from recurring genres and quirks at the same time it delivers an interesting premise while bending plenty of logical rules you would understand from how video games work (like having a central station on a power strip), but that mentioned it becomes easily heart-touching and charming in several aspects. I believe this movie has to be seen with the feeling of wonder you had when you had no idea how a video game even worked and you would just imagine how some things happen along.

I highly recommend it.

Wreck-It Ralph - 8/10

It was a pretty good Disney movie. Couple of good video game gags made, but other than that I don't think it was anything special.

Alien - 90/100

'twas good. Also, Sigourney Weaver was such a babe god DAMN.

Pink Floyd - The Wall - /10
I've watched it a couple of times now and I still don't know what to say. But I keep having urges to come back and watch it, so I suppose that speaks of it's intriguing nature. Or that I'm mentally ill. If nothing else; the animated sequences are a sight to behold.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - 9/10
I should first note that I saw the movie in 2D, as 3D really fucks with my eyes, and my theatre is shitty so it was also at 24fps rather than 48- which is kinda lame. That said; the movie was fantastic in pretty much every regard. The places where the plot deviates from the book are, in my opinion, beneficial. They help to align it more with The Lord of The Rings, explain why the hell Gandalf was running off every 5 pages in the novel, and give ol' Bilbo a bit more to do.

I can immediately recall 3 songs in the movie; Misty Mountains, and Blunt the Knives- both of which are sung during the first act in Bag End- and a there was a song which the Goblins sang. Whilst the third was far less memorable to me, they were all well preformed and implemented. The soundtrack in general was brilliant.

There's also a fair bit of comedy left over from the book which i thoroughly enjoyed, but a couple of my friends said was detrimental to the overall film. I disagree, but that may be something to keep in mind.

Overall, I don't think I have anything at all to say negatively about An Unexpected Journey. I consider it entirely worth it's hype, and can't recommend it enough.

i saw the hobbit it was shit 0 stars dont go see it

Ice Age CD - 8/10

This movie Is great. Though the story is almost the same as the meltdown. Both of them relate to the end of the world, I guess the creator ran out of ideas. Also drake's character looked terrible. I didn't like his hair and skin and everything. It comes out with an 8/10. Sorry blue sky.

[miracle fruit]

I don't understand why they based all their rules so much on the arcade when the plot pretty much had nothing to do with it. Who cares how the game characters get around within our physical world? It's fucking magical game land! If everything in the game world had just been connected like a real world instead of some dumb theme park they could have done a proper road movie with Ralph and Vanelope traveling through different interesting environments instead of spending 90% of the film in Willy Wonka land fighting arbitrary rules that they kept having to stop and explain to us. If the overall crisis had been that the arcade was going out of business or something then sure, go for that angle, but the story was about being trapped by your role and reputation, not being physically trapped in a box.

Plus making it like the games were all weird little standalone box worlds with no impact on each other pretty much sucked the peril out of everything. Why did it matter whether the game characters had a world to go to when all they did there was pretend to fight every day and then hang around in other games? Why were those gameless characters like hobos when there wasn't any money and they could just waltz into another game world and dick around there instead? And why were there only like 5 characters with no game in the whole film? Shouldn't there be thousands? Also, why were there no games between Street Fighter and Gears of War? Where were all the shitty 90s 3D games like Time Crisis and that one where you stand on a pretend snow board? When was this supposed to be set? Why were the HD characters the same as the pixelated characters but then some of the pixelated characters moved like pixelated characters?

God damn this film pissed me off.



On the plus side that "dynamite gal" montage was pretty great.
