So I guess this won't exactly be a regular blog but I will post some times when I see a movie that I really liked just to say my opinion and if it was worth the trouble or not.
I recently went to see Step 3D which I wanted to see for almost 2-3 months, since it hit the cinemas. Finally I managed to see it after long negotiations with Jenny (she doesn't really like this kind of movies) and let me tell you that I had goose bumps at every dance scene. The movie doesn't have a great storyline but they do their best to keep you entertained with fantastic dance moves and a somewhat interesting plot. Quite funny at places and Moose (Adam G. Sevani) definitely keeps it fresh and makes you want to watch the other two movies because you just need another fix.
All in all, I recommend the movie even if you are not a big fan of such movies because you will be amazed and you will at least smile in a few places; Jenny seemed to enjoy it.
P.S. The twins are funny as hell.

LOST
I’ve seen LOST a few days back but didn’t really had the time to say anything about it. It was the series finale and man what a finale. The episode was double the duration they usually make it. I guess they needed more time to explain everything and offer and ending that would satisfy most fans.
From my perspective, they covered each point perfectly; it explained and twisted the explanation around in such a LOST manner that made me remember why I liked it in the first place.
I know I said that the previous LOST episode left me somewhat disappointed, but they definitely made up for it with the ending. I guess they didn’t want to ruin the ending, and so made an episode just to get all the pieces in place, and then knock them down.
If you never seen LOST and are thinking just to see the last season, I would recommend not to. The beauty of LOST is made of a lot of little pieces from the first episode all the way to the last. It really is a puzzle that can only be solved if you have all the pieces. I recommend seeing all the LOST seasons, I will probably start a marathon soon to see it all again in a couple of days.

Precious
I was a bit busy and still am so I won't be posting that often.
I saw Precious a week ago. I was attracted by the title, an illiterate teen who is pregnant and overweight. I thought to myself "This is the worst thing that could happen to somebody", but the movie made me reconsider it. I haven't read the book unfortunately, but I will definitely do it once I get the chance. The story, as I told you earlier is about an overweight(although overweight is a weak word, more like obese)teen that gets pregnant with her second child and gets kicked off from school. The movie is very well made. The mother character is great, it makes you want to hate her, but you also understand her misery somehow. I loved the reality of the movie, it's not about the suburban hot girl that becomes a princess, it's about the real not so attractive girl who dreams of becoming a princess and gets hit by life. I know that terrible things happen to people, especially poor people living in terrible conditions; also I know that poverty makes people crazy and this movie shows that very good.
If you get the chance, watch the movie. You won't be disappointed.

The Others - Must-see
Today I went by Jenny’s house today to hang out and we decided to watch a movie. We wanted to see The Others for some time now so this was our chance.
I have say, I was expecting to see a ghost movie that will make it difficult to close my eyes at night without a final glimpse towards the window. Well, once again I was proven wrong. I don’t mean to say the movie is bad, far from it, but it wasn’t what I expected it to be. It has a couple of twists and turns that will make you smile in a creepy way.
What can I say? I liked it, quite a lot actually; especially because it gives a new perspective, making it unique in its own way. We all saw scary ghost movies and know them inside out, this one is different, it is in a league all of its own. I don’t really want to tell you why I say that because it might ruin the movie for you; although I doubt it.
The way Nicole Kidman plays it’s beyond words; she really is one of my favorite actresses. Along with Fionnula Flanagan (which also is a great actress) and a well written script makes this movie a modern day classic; but don’t take my word for it, see the 7.8 rating on imdb and the Golden Globe nominee, or just see it yourself and make your own ideas about it.

The Savages
I know I should blog about books, but I really don't have much time right now. So, today I felt a little bad and the weather was rainy and I thought I should go buy food that makes me fat and just sit in bed all day watching movies. I only watched one, The Savages. I was a bit reticent at the beginning because the title isn't that great. But the movie is nice. It gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling inside. I almost cried a couple of times. It's also funny sometimes, but don't watch it if you want to watch a comedy because it's more of a drama.
It really made me think about my future a bit and made me consider some changes in my career plans. So, I will say this is a good movie.
Seymour Hoffman does a great job in this movie. I always liked this actor, he's like the hugable, fluffy brother I never had. And the way he portrayed Truman Capote was great.

Paranormal activity.....mmyeah....a Jenny view
I love the way people piss their pants when they read at the beginning at a movie: this movies depicts a true story blah blah....
Of course, many have no idea that this is the found footage technique. But it's good to scare the masses isn't it?
Anyway, back to the creepy movie. Before I started seeing it I was told it's very creepy and I'm going to be scared to death. Well, that gave me great expectations. Ofc, I was disappointed. Except for the final phase, when i felt a little tingle on my back, the movie was as boring as watching the birds migrate on a sunny day at the end of summer.
They tried, what can I say, with a budget of 11 000 dollars to make a cute scary movie. Did anyone notice what a sad couple they were? Omg, I think that was the horror part of the movie. Also, her boyfriend was almost retarded with his camera allover the place. Plus, he didn't have any friends, no wonder the entity hated him. He was lame.
Also, who the bleep wants to really know what happens at night by filming themselves with the camera? I mean, I wouldn't. If there's some scary demon thingy in my home, well just let it be and ignore it. It will go away at some point.
Also, does a ghostly demon thingy leave footprints? I guess not. And if it does, it should set off the alarm. Am I right?
I was expecting to be really scared so I guess that's why I couldn't get in the mood. That's the thing with horror movies. For example, The Grudge and The ring kept me awake for 2 months. This was....uhm....lame? Except for the final part. It's a 5 second scene there that really is nice. It was so sterile...idunno.

Paranormal Activity - creepy movie
I’ve seen Paranormal Activity the other day. Yes, I know it’s been a while since it hit cinemas all over; I just didn’t find the time to go see it.
I have to say that I didn’t find it very scary while I was watching it; maybe it was because the people I was with kept on talking throughout the whole movie. But it is a good movie, I recommend you see it in the cinema or at home with quiet friends. It starts quite slow, but gradually becomes scary keeping you pined to your sit.
I liked it because it has a Blair Witch Project kind of view and quite a nice story. I’m not really a horror fanatic, but this one was ok.
The best thing about it is that it didn’t scare me very much when I saw it, but more the next day. Today we were hearing noises, same as in the movie, and getting a bit scared with a smile on our face. I heard some say that they couldn’t sleep for weeks without looking at the door scared; I just didn’t see it that way. It’s nice for a relaxing evening.
