In a time where I will never know what it must be like to live in New Mexico Territory. A stranger (Sexy ass Daniel Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. What he discovers the controller of the environment, Colonel Dolarhyde (Also Sexy Harrison Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. The Reject Craig only to be attacked by unworldly forces, he is now they're only hope (saw it coming). As this gunslinger (but not tobacco chewing) slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force.
Now might be some spoilers in this but trust me that not going to matter in the slightest what is is that you maybe wanting your money back (for the ticket and travel). Firstly the I was left bored from the jump of, the first 25 minutes did nothing for me and although you saw loads of Mr Craig, I didn't fell as though his character was going to develop beyond this. And it didn't. Once I found out that the Aliens where on Earth to gather gold, I was left to make up my own reason as to why they wanted the gold (Not really explained apart from it being said it was valuable to aliens as to humans), No back story on why they were experimenting on humans no nothing. I'm not too sure why I'm writing this as I really don't have much to say that this film truly was a steaming pile of bullshit, that now makes me wonder if Daniel Craig can actually play another character other than James Bond and be good at it out side of his comfort zone. And as for Harrison ford from respecting him as a young Marbie (I'm still young Homosapiens don't get that twisted) watching him as Indiana Jones, to watch him acting as if he is doing improv at a theatre session. Sorry the two big names that were suppose to make this film didn't even make it worth me watching (and I barely did that).
Cowboys and Aliens is what we wanted (No, not really), and that's exactly what we got. Underdeveloped cowboy and Indian characters and an AI, I mean Alien squad that were as smart as any Hill Billy with an up-side down, wordless, picture book. If this is all Hollywood has to offer after the Big BLOCKBUSTER, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2, then this summer I feel sorry for them (Glee 3D? come on now). This film could I admit been a tad bit better with the whole genre-blending they attempted to do, but plastering Big names to a film with no real thought out plot and lack there of character development does not mean your gonna get shit.
I give this film: A fifth of a star, out of Ten. Save they money to buy some drinks or go see another film, Homosapiens trust me on this one.
Hello Homosapiens...... Cowboys and Aliens, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows prt 2, Tia and Tamera, Thundercats 2011 reboot, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and more to come........ Keep your all seeing eyes on this page or log back on in a few hours (When I wake up).
Hi there Homosapiens been a while, but hey you need to check out my other blog to find out what has been keeping me from you all (Just ask if you can't find it by yourself (Marbie smile) So here I look at some of my DVD collection from Ms Sarah Michelle Gellar. So here are a few films and my thoughts obviously on them and I can only ask, but why not follow me. That way i know if you enjoy this Movie blog of mine, I know some of you enjoy my Mind on my other blog and thank you so much. So here goes the first film...................
I know what you did last summer 1997:
The Plot:
Four teen are in grave danger a year after their car hits a stranger in the middle of the night whose body they decide to dump in the sea.
Sarah's role in this one was some what disappointing, only because she didn't get the lead role. She obviously likes playing haunted, horror like film roles which is no surprise since she did make it big from the start of her “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” hit show in 1996 (I was like who is this sexy she-beast). The film it's self is not one of the most original and in saying that it seemed to be a competition film with the starting of the Scream franchise. Yes Horror teen films in the nighties were a hit with everyone aged 12 and up (I was a bad Marbie watching these before my time I know) The film has with me become a cult classic in my house hold, one of those DVDs you just don't lend out unless you don't want to see it again (You know who you are, you DVD fiends) leading us to our next SMG film
Scream 2 1997:
The Plot:
Two years after the bloody events of the first film, a new set of psychopaths don the "Ghost face" costume and a new string of murders begin.
Now as we witnessed in the first film this second instalment see the lovely Jada Pinket smith die at the beginning as a crowd of movie seers laugh and banter thinking its all just as joke, while watching the Ironically named film “Stab” (film in film, based upon the event of the first Scream film) Sarah's role again is small but is larger than what you would expect, or until the story unravels itself (If you haven't seen he Scream films I'll try not to give to much away. Cici = Casey (Sarah) is also a student in Randy's film class and becomes involved in a discussion about sequels. Later that same night whilst watching films and talking on the phone to her friend, she gets the dreaded call from “The Voice”, now only the dead and some of the stars know what the voice sounds like, so it's no surprise Cici just thinks it's her drunken jock boy-friend. Well again Sarah dies, but a good death (If any can be good). I laughed just before the end f the scene and you see one of the film crew's hands pop up to catch her as she is thrown over the balcony.... (Will find this on youtube I hope). Why does Cici die in this film? Is is her link to Sydney (Neve Cambell, the Star)
Cruel Intentions 1999:
The Plot:
School girl Kathryn (Sarah) makes a bet that her step-brother, Sebastian (Ryan Phillipe), won't be able to bed Annette (a virgin, who wants to wait until love played by the once real life wife Reese Weatherspoon). If he loses, Kathryn gets his Jaguar, if he wins, he gets Kathryn. Geller's roll made me see her in a new dirty good way.
Watching this film set of my most mischievous ways from the jump off. I'm that type of movie watcher that tends to take everything in and where there be a minor fault in the plot, I in turn change that flaw in my own life and set out to wreak havoc (Professional only need apply). Theres something about scheming I like and the films tone is perfect and pulled off so well that it is hard to believe that upper class folk don't act the way they have been portrayed in the film. From horse back riding and shoot clay discs, sounds fun to me especially with all the money behind them. The end is as much as a shock as everything else that goes on in the story (and many a times have I had to cross my legs to prevent blood flow in particular parts of my anatomy, sexy scene are steamy). Less I forget, the film also co-stars one of my favourite female actresses other than Sarah, Ms Selma Blair, who pulls of a great ignorant naive roll.
Scooby Doo 2002:
The Plot:
After an acrimonious break up, the Mystery Inc. gang are individually brought to an island resort to investigate strange goings on and settle their differences.
Such light hearted comedy for the kids, who would have thought Sarah had it in her, from looking at the previous talked about films. She plays the obvious role of Daphne and plays it well. I'm not sure what it is about Sarah, but she really does play those girlyScooby and the Gang (Funny that the Gang in Buffy are also self nicknamed “The Scooby gang”) Her performance was good to watch after accepting the fact she is a different character and as a fan if I'm going to truly accept her craft I have to see her in different roles (Although all the gang apart from Scooby, Shaggy and Velma, only leaving Fred and Daphne (Marbie smile), act very oddly compare to the old T.V cartoon show I was used to watching)(I didn't like the writers choose of character change). I have this film and damn right am proud to say I own it (Plus it shuts any fucking kid up for at least an hour whenI got house work to do).
Buffy The Vampire Slayer 1996-2003:
The plot:
After the traumatizing ordeal in the movie with the same name, Buffy Summers and her mother move to Sunnydale, only to discover that L.A. was just a walk in the pebbled walk in the park. Teenage Buffy now faces more evil in her life than she had ever imagined through out the series seeing her grow and become much wiser throughout the series. And into a beautiful Woman she becomes. Challenges and death are in Buffy's path to overcoming evil.
Now what can I say..... Any Homosapien that knows me would expect me to go on and on about this series (Although not a film, but it had to be added and it's my blog not yours) But to be serious I don't think I can say anything that amounts to the sheer pure greatness that Joss Whedon and the Cast of Buffy created. I can say that the series helped me through many struggles in my life. The show was not just about a girl, with strength, that tackles the supernatural (And sometime natural) evil of the world, it too concentrates on the facts o f life, growing up, school, sex, drugs and so on. Too many people don't understand why I loved and still watch the series back 2 back even now (Watching series 5 right now). It reflected me and I'm sure it will reflect any Homosapien from any background. “The hardest thing in life is to live”. (Get the series now and join the Scooby Gang).
TMNT 2007:
The Plot:
The continued adventures of the four teenage mutated turtles gifted in the art of the ninja (Gifted? Nah Trained), as they attempt to stop a mysterious evil that threatens to end the world. CGI animated film.
One of many Voice acting jobs Sarah has embarked on, as April O'Neil. April is good friend of the turtles and Casey’s girlfriend and was one of the best news reporters in the city. (I won't spoil for the kids and those who haven't seen yet) It took me some time to actually hear her voice as without a face it seems a voice can really change (Especially if your in character I suppose) I like the film but to be honest I only watched due to me being a fan of Sarah, a massive fan. It did however bring back the fond memories of me as a child with some new depth I, we weren't able to see in the 2D animations. Great job on the team who animated and voiced it.
Veronika Decides to Die 2009:
The Plot:
The story centres on Veronika, a woman in her mid twenties who appears to have everything: good looks (DUH!), good job and a great life ahead of her. Yet she decides to end her own life. She is unsuccessful and awakens in a mental hospital where she learns that she a short time to live. However in the hospital she meets people who are only 'insane' because they don't always follow society's rules (I think I've been there like twice now). With little left to lose, Veronika embarks on a journey on which she frees herself to experience relationships and emotions and ultimately discovers what it means to live.
Now only watched this film once and half way through and I still haven't figured out what I like about it. All I know is that at the beginning of the film it seem Sarah returns to her Buffy role for some inspiration on how to act absent minded, which she pulls off so freaking well. I guess I will have to watch the in's and out's of this film a few more times. As I like to watch every head, eyes, finger movement of an actor and every change of scene and the sense of being their you sometimes get when watching films. Half way there.
Well Homosapiens this is the last film of the SMG (Sarah Michelle Gellar) Chronicles, unless you want more. Hmmm, may have to do more chronicles in the future.
Hello homosapiens, it's been a while yes I know. But I will be talking about two great movies that I can't stop thinking about because the writing and acting in both in my Marbie Opinion is fucking fantastic. The main Characters have believable personality traits, they evoke true emotion and each film almost brought tears to my eyes. The Just happen to be gay. The main characters of each film just happen to be homosexual, homosapiens which kinda adds even more depth to what happens in the film. Both films are extreme takes of lovely and brutal effects into keeping love (although one I would say is far too much) Both films the main characters end up in prison. They are:
I love you Phillip Morris: Steven Russell (Played by the ever so funny Jim Carrey) is supposedly happily married to Debbie and a member of the police force of his town when a car accident provokes a dramatic reassessment of his life (Now he's also adopted too, some may say this may have contributed to his madness life in the films others may not). Steven breaks loose and sets his soul finally free and becomes open about his homosexuality and decides to live life to the richest (Damn I need me a suga daddy) - even if it means twisting, dissecting and breaking the law. Steven's new, flamboyant lifestyle involves cons and fraud and, landing him in the State Penitentiary where he meets coy and sensitive, soft-spoken Phillip (Ewan McGregor) (Two totally different personalities I guess opposites really do attract). His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts Steven to attempt and often succeed at one impossible con after another how ever he always end right back to the start of the game. Jail. Based on a true life story 1980-1990's) this only makes it even more funny to watch as he goes about his cons in such ludicrous ways. It's too funny, but shows us how love can effect someone who probably isn't mentally stable through all he has gone through up till now. Do watch or even Buy the film, a must have in any comedy dvd collection.
Monster: An inky dripping story based on the true story of Aileen Wuornos (Charlize Theron), one of America's first female serial killers. Aileens had a difficult and cruel childhood which i am supprised nothing got picked up upon (Too many children pass through our fingers in the system we need to help more). She became a prostitute by the age of thirteen, the same year she fell pregnant. She then moved on to Florida where she began earning a living as a highway prostitute (Fucking scary) dealing with the desires of truck drivers. The films focuses on the nine months between 1989 and 1990, during which Aileen had a lesbian relationship with a woman named Selby (Christina Ricci) and during that very same time, she also began murdering her clientele in order to get money without having sex. This turned the tables on a rather common phenomena of female highway prostitutes being the victims of serial killers, because now she was indeed the serial killer. At times I must admit I felt sorry for her, as her soul had obviously been twisted and distorted to become the title a "Monster" with herself. I, as many probably did watched a documentry of the True life Aileen, only to find out she was waiting on Death row, this purged me to watch the film and find out how it was portrayed. A disturbing film to watch and yet writing about it make me want to watch it again and try to understand more. If you haven't seen this film Go out and add it to you collection dudes and dudettes.
Two other films before the closing of this segment I hope you all will enjoy are:
Beautiful thing: Starring Shirley from Eastender (Linda Henry) and Music from Mama Cass Elliot from the Mamas and Papas.
Hi guys, Mz storm is back again with two new movies for you.
Just Go with It (12A)
Ratings:
My Verdict: It is in cinema now, came out 11th February 2011 and I had to give it 5 star as I do love Adam Sandler and his movies, I think he is absolutely funny and incorporates this every time even Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman characters I found to be quite humorous also.
The ending was predictable but its what you get from a romcom, a happy ending.
So if you havent seen it already, what you waiting for? GO!
Hall Pass - In cinemas 11th March 2011
Rating:
My Verdict: Another 5 rated movie from me as it had a little twist in there towards the end which I found quite funny. Another comedy movie that will have you laughing at the stupidity of the characters played by Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis ( also known for What happens in Vegas and Going the Distance)
This movie will have you saying OMG!
Hello Homosapiens, Now I spent most of my lunch break today at work finishing this up for y'all so here we go the last 4 films of my classics this month. I really am sorry i haven't been around but as you know by now i have team up (Like the X-Men) with my home girl Mz Storm. She has already written some reviews on some badass films, check it out. lets get to my classics now.
Gia 1998
Fact-based story of a top fashion model Gia Marie Carangi (Played by the one and only sexiest thick lipped female Angelina Jolie) follows her life from a rebel little tom-boy (And she wasn’t always) working in her father's diner at age 17 to her death in 1986 at age 26 from AIDS. One of the first women in America whose death was attributed to the deadly life taking disease. In between, she followed a devilish downward spiral of drug abuse and failed relationships with both sexes (Such a beautiful hussy).
Return to oz 1985
It has been six months since Dorothy has returned to Kansas from Oz and she still cannot sleep for some reason (I wouldn’t either The Wizard of Oz was mad trippy). She has been going on about imaginary places and people so much that Aunt Em takes her to see a doctor (Well the EYFS and National curriculum states we should allow children to express themselves through role, Aunt Em is stifling her creativity.). Dorothy escapes from the mental hospital with this other blonde chick helping her (I think she drowns, bless her cotton socks.) and wakes up in Oz where her chicken can now talk. There she meets a whole new click of friends and they set off to rescue the Scarecrow from an evil Gnome King who has found her Ruby Slippers and has used them to lay havoc, misery and waste to the Emerald city and take over Oz.
Flight of the Navigator 1986
A 12-year-old boy goes missing in 1978, only to come back again once more in 1986. In the eight years that have passed, David hasn't aged (now don’t we all wished we had that talent?). It is no coincidence that at the time David 'comes back’; a flying saucer is found, entangled in electricity cables. Fun film and when I was younger it was one of my favorites. I did have to watch it more than once as I remember falling asleep due to late night watching. Perfect kids film and family film.
The Goonies 1985
Two brothers whose family is preparing to move because developers want to build a golf course in the place of their neighborhood, unless enough money is raised to stop the construction of the golf course (Original? It’s happening still), and that's quite doubtful. But when Mikey coincidently stumbles upon a treasure map of the Great "One-Eyed" Willy's hidden fortune, Mikey, Brandon, and their friends "Chunk", "Mouth", Andrea "Andy", Stefanie "Stef" Steinbrenner, and "Data", calling themselves The Goonies, set out on a long quest to find the treasure in hopes of saving their neighborhood. The treasure is in a cavern, but the entrance to the cavern is under the house of evil thief Mama Fratelli and her sons Jake Fratelli, Francis Fratelli, and I think The Hunchback of Norte Dames disfigured twin brother "Sloth". Sloth however is one of the good guys as you will see you haven’t already seen this film, which would make you obviously not an 80’s or earlier child. I had so much funny Saying “Heyyyyy you Guuuuuyyyyysssssssssss” when I was younger. And still now.
So Dudes and Dudettes go check out these films as soon as you can, or click on the links to purchase your own fab films to add to your own Roguelicious DVD and Blu-ray collections.
I have joined forces with Rogue to give you lovely readers my reviews on the latest movies seen and due to come out.
So lets start with the film ' I Spit on Your Grave'. (18)
Ratings:
Plot: Sarah Butler plays A young woman, and a writer goes out into the woods to a secluded cabin to, of course write. (real original I hear you say) Anyway along the way she stops off at a gas station where a group of young lads (Hilly billies) take notice and try to chat her up. She gives them a knock back and then things take off from there and her life is turned upside down.....
My Verdict: The acting is not the greatest but the gore and the revenge that takes place is really good.
I enjoyed it. Go watch. out on DVD.
I Spit on Your Grave Trailer:
2. The Resident (15) - In cinema's 11th march 2011
Ratings:
Plot: A doctor (Hillary Swank) is forced to move on with her life and relocate due to her boyfriend cheating on her with another woman. She finds herself an apartment to rent at a cheap price and a friendly landlord.Well, thats what she thinks. Turns out this landlord has an unhealthy obsession with her and will do anything to be with her.
My Verdict: I thought it was an ok film. Hillary Swank tries to play a sexy character in some parts and lets face it, she cant do sexy, she is NOT seen that way. ( the shower scene)
The best thing about the film is the trailer.
Its not a film I would rush out to see so maybe wait til it hits DVD. This is no million dollar baby.
The resident Trailer:
3. Faster (15) - In cinema's 25th March 2011
Ratings:
Plot: The rock or Dwayne Johnson seeks revenge on the murder of his brother after a bank robbery goes wrong and find themselves being robbed. After doing a spell in jail he comes out with unfinished business.
My verdict: This is what a revenge movie should be, barely any talking, pure action from start to finish, suspense and to the point.
The ending is left with an act of mercy. Can you smell what the Rock is cooking? (LOL)
A classic revenge flick with a twist. Go see this one if you love some action.
Faster Trailer:
AND LASTLY...
4. Unknown - In cinema's March 4th 2011
Ratings: (it would be a 2 and a half but my computer doesn't do halves)
Plot: The plot is like a mash up of long kiss goodnight mixed with the Bourne trilogy. Man loses his memory and what he does remember doesn't make any sense to him. Of course theres help from a stranger where he soon discovers everything he thought he knew was all just a lie.
My Verdict: Felt like I've seen this film before. Not as action packed as the Bourne movies or any humour from Long kiss. Again, not a film I would rush out to go see but if you so happen to be passing a cinema with nothing to do then it will fill your time.
Unknown 2011 Trailer:
Thats all for now on the movie reviews. Hope you enjoyed.
