I just recently saw the Pixar/Disney made film, Wall-E

I just recently saw the Pixar/Disney made film, Wall-E. One word to sum it all up? Great. just great. Honestly i really liked it a lot. I had mixed thoughts of the fact that they integraded the animation with live film. It was an interesting touch. Although it did kind of distract you from the fact that it's a cartoon that was a product of real life. if that makes any sense. Like the scene were you see the ship's previous captains and the evolution of the people. It just doesn't look real enough for me to believe that these cartoony looking characters spawned from humans. But i suppose i'm overanalyzing a minor detail in a overall great movie. I also loved the soundtrack. I felt that it was the most original sounding music that i've heard in a while. 

I feel like they should make more movies like this. With a well thought out, original plot and a great cast of characters/voices. it kinda makes you feel all warm n' fuzzy inside. 

so yeah, i liked it. 

SIn City thingy

I don't claim to be an expert of the crime-film genre, but i know a good crime flick when i see one and Sin City, to me, is the epitome of the genre. It's meant for more of a sci-fi/action audience, but it has so much noir style, that it's hard NOT to call this film a crime drama. based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller of "300" fame, Sin City takes place in a metropolis full of corruption and evil, as the name describes. There are many different plots which seldom connect with each other, so it plays out like a variety of short stories. 

Aside from the thematic elements, the film has an all-star cast that includes Bruce Willis, and Elijah Wood to name a few. 

The fact that the movie is in black and white makes it have more noir. Along with the character narration, this whole film screams crime movie. 

Spinal Tap breakdown

For this blog entry, I'm gonna try something new. I'm going to analyze the "lost backstage" scene from Spinal Tap. The basics of the scene is that they're doing a show somewhere, and they are backstage giving each other pep-talks of how much they're going to "rock and roll" tonight. When they finally decide to head to the stage, they steadily become increasingly lost in the passageways of the boiler room tomb, all the while stating that they will "rock and roll". Ultimately, the band fails it's attempt at reaching the stage, for the camera cuts out after they circle around the same spot. 

Now, you might be asking yourself; "What could this possibly symbolize?" well, i shall tell you. the truth is that this experience symbolizes the journey that most real bands go through. They start off playing at bars and small gigs with the thought stuck in their mind that they "rock hardcore". Pretty soon they find themselves in the same gig, doing the same line-up, and they start to wonder, haven't i been here before? Only the truly dedicated bands, with the commitment to follow their dreams, make it out of the tomb and onto the "stage".

In conclusion, behind the comical act of a band being lost backstage, is an unwavering truth, that all must obey.  

hello there, movies are fun to watch. I feel that when you watch a movie you become part of the story. You feel as though you have a say in the outcome. Movies can bring out many different things and ideas in people. They can bring out an inner critic or an inner adventerur. Whatever the case, movies will bring out someones inner self. They allow us to break free of judgement.
The last "theatre" movie i saw, was the Dark Knight. Recently, i've been on youtube viewing short little artsy movies. I really like these little movies. They ar'nt always as visually stunning as big budget films, but they always have a good story.
