In which Sky talks about movies.
May. 29th, 2011 10:40 pmThis is going to be a post about various of the movies I've seen in the past... two weeks. Those being: Fast Five, Priest, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, The Hangover: Part 2, and Thor.
• First, Fast Five. I don't think you guys fully understand the depth of my love for the whole The Fast and The Furious franchise. (Ok, not the second one, because it didn't have Vin Diesel in it, but all the rest.) I'm convinced you can't go wrong with a movie about hot men and fast cars. And hot women. I even loved Tokyo Drift because it's hilarious and awesome. But. Fast Five was kind of awesome. I mean, there was no point at which I was bored, and the little twists were things that I didn't see coming. It's fun, it's funny, and it's kind of stupidly sexy.
• Now, Priest had to be seen because it was Paul Bettany, Karl Urban and vampires. I went with a friend, and even though we spent all of it making fun of it—"That's not how physics works!" "Really? Of all the things in the movie to get upset about, you pick the physics?" "Yes, well, I can forgive the bad vampire lore, but physics just doesn't work like that."—it was actually pretty good. I mean, I have pretty low standards for what makes a movie "good" (I pretty much just have to be entertained), but I liked it. I think there should be lots of slash written about Paul Bettany and Karl Urban's characters, and that there should be a sequel, since the movie was really just the set up for another potentially good movie. It was fun and I liked it, end of story.
• Let me tell you why PotC: At World's End was the best of the first three movies and why PotC: On Stranger Tides is the best of all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. ( Spoilers, Ahoy! )
In conclusion: PotC: On Stranger Tides might be a new favorite movie of mine. With the addition of Penelope Cruz and Thomas Claflin and the mermaid (I am too lazy to look up the actress's name, but I think it's Agnes something?), something finally clicked. Plus, I think that the mermaid and the young man are going to show up in the next movie. That was just too good of a set up for a sequel. :)
• The Hangover: Part 2 was bad. It was the same movie as the first one, just in a different city. And I had forgotten just how much I hate Zack Galifinakis (and I dislike him enough that I don't even care enough to look up how to spell his name, so that might be wrong) and how much I hate his character in these movies. Ugh. I should not have inflicted that upon myself. Luckily, it was a matinée, so I didn't pay too much to see it.
• I actually just got home (ok, like an hour ago at this point) from seeing Thor with my dad. I liked it! Lots, actually! ( Spoilers! )
In conclusion: I am stupidly excited for Avengers, which apparently has a date set for 2012, so yay. :)
• Oh god. Post so long. Grammar failing. Sleepy.
• Crap, I want to revamp my icons again. With new things. Like Narnia icons, some PotC: On Stranger Tides icons, and maybe a Thor icon or two. (/sigh)
Tomorrow: Fic! (And shopping with mom. Excitement!) Tuesday: Fic!
