You know what time it is! Olympic gala of movies .....the Oscars

Nominees in Pixar

 

My favorite choice to win 

In third place.

 In second place

 



This weekend marks the 86th annual Academy Awards. Holy shit 86? I remember I was waiting for the 83. Man that was ages ago. Moving on here are the nominees, in wonderful parody form. My favorite is the walle cover. I predict that American Hustle will take the award for Best Motion Picture edging out the contender 12 years a slave. The Academy might surprise me and put their bs politics aside and crown it. However I still think American hustle might win, it was really good. The costumes, the acting was just superb! My girl Jennifer Lawerence delivered. She's just so.. ughh I love her. Anyway I think that this year had really good movies and I'm glad that in recent years we have had an insurgence of really good moives. This generation has to pick up the slack for the crap in the 80's and mis seventies. I have watched most of the Oscar winning pictures and not always have I agreed on the winner. They tend to be war movies, musicals and or something that's going to make you cry. And albeit that those tend to be good movies I think the Academy is somewhat prejudice on ceartin directors (ex. A Martin Scorsese)

Spring time

Back at school and look at me taking stats. Hold the applause. I'm in the lab supposedly doing math hw but I wondered over to youtube and saw the new trailer for Season 4 of Game of Thrones. If I havent been vocal about it just know I love Game of Thrones. It is so well written so expansive and richly set, I mean its just fucking epic. Anyway so I ventured to this video which is a behind the scenes look at the making of GoT season 4 and lets just say the chick that plays Brienne, has officially lost her marbles. This bitch is crazy go ahead and skip to 9:01 .... watch as her madness unfolds.. muahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa.

Catching Fire

I had been in slow agony awaiting this movie it seems like I like torture (not all other series I love) finally the blessed weekend came and me, nothing. I had no one to go with. None of my adult friends wanted to go and my cousins ( as I shall call them) had already gone without me. I call betrayal! So when my cousin from Houston came back they all wanted to go see it again and me for the first time!It was fucking awesome, way better than the first and definitely more true to the book. Ok can I pause for a second and congratulate both the writer and the costume designer. One for an amazing job thinking these things up and the second for making them come to life, I swear the costumes for these movies are just plain fantastic. Its really not that simple to put all of this book into one small contained movie, there was so much here, the whole clock aspect of the games was fantastic. I really loved this movie, I can't wait for them all to come out and for me to have them on video so I can just watch them and have a marathon. On that note I will say that it was sadder than the book. Maybe because I saw the visualization. I honestly don't know I loved it. Even if it is a fucked up concept. I'm a little spacey so this post might need revision later

R.I.P Kindle

Last Saturday as I was doing laundry I put my kindle in my hamper and I washed it, yes ladies and gentlemen I am a huge jackass. I loved my kindle more than one should love such objects, but if you had one you would understand! That kindle was my life, it literally never left my side, if it did it was because where I was going was to dangerous to take. I could not risk it's life. I had all my life inside that kindle. Now I feel so empty, there is nothing I can even begin to compare to my beloved kindle. My blackberry used to be on this pedestal but once I stupidly erased the mobi reader app and have not been able to install it on the new blackberry I am stuck in limbo with that piece of crap. My kindle allowed me to be part of the app crowd. Now I have nothing to divert my time with, no more candy crush, song quiz, plants vs. zombies, star girl, unblock me. no more alarm, no more really cool comforting rain sounds to put me to sleep! Its all very sad and so I ask you to join me in the moment for my kindle. .

Ironically all my  kindle pictures where on the kindle. so this is the one I had I tried to get a new one this holiday season (black Friday and cyber Monday) but for some reason it was like 3 times this price so I said nels.

here's what my beloved looked like

Little Children

Little Children by Tom Perrota is one of those fabulous novels that have been turned into better movies. I had seen the movie back in 2008. The movie starred two of my all time favorite actors; Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson. The movie revolves around two stay at home parents who have completed degrees in higher education. They have both conformed to the lives of the "dominant spouse" and when they find themselves they begin a romantic conection. The problems being to arise with the arivval of a knonw sexual offender.
This is where the movie and the book begin to defer.
The movie takes the character of Ronnie the sexual deviant into a more subdued manner, they don't acuse him of murder nor is he as repugnant as he is described in the book. Also the scene where he goes on a date is also thankfully excluded.
The truth is I really liked the movie and the ending was much more powerful, in the book the end was almost laughable. I mean you got the mom who has been a pseudo intellectual now playing Cinderella, the dad who has been for the most part a pretty face who was riding on his luck taking a turn for the better attempting to be a hero. Then you have the secondary characters the "perfect mom" riding in to finally break her own rules and quits becoming a conformist and the sexual deviant who just lost his mom becoming sympathetic to someone besides himself. The really is an asshole all throughout the book while in the movie you don't exactly forgive him or understand why he did what he did but you can sympathize with his character.
All in all the book was a quick read, but I would rather watch the movie.

Machete Kills

So I saw the trailer for this movie and I just could not help wanting to watch it. I knew it was going to be terrible the minute I heard the name of the main character. Machete is a character I have come to know very well. What with him being the cool outcasted uncle in the very popular children's "Spy Kids" series. Now let me say this first; robert Rodriguez always has a hispanic cast and he is like Adam Sandler or Judd Apatow you already know who his main and co-starring characters will be. In the Machete series he baisically takes this already established character and amps his violent streak to a 10. Now I haven't seen the first one, at least not all of it. However I saw enough to understand that he is a mercenary on the hunt fro something and justice for Mexico or whatever and Michelle Rodriguez comes in and kicks as and Juny Cortez is also there as a cholo and Machete is Machete with Cheech Marin as his priestly brother. Jessica Alba is the law abiding princess who steals his heart.
In this new Machete, which by the way opes with a teaser for the next installment of Machete, aka Machete Kills Again in Space( that I will go watch for the funny Space Wars spoof and mostly for laughs) and proceeds to the very first killing. I guess I won't spoil and tell you what is Machete's driving froce behind his killing streak. I will however say that it was FUNNY!  I swear I almost peed in my seat laughing! I don't know if it was because the Mexicans next to me were cheering him on (as if he could or would listen) or because I just couldn't handle the ridiculousness that is the whole entire movie. On a sidenote Sofia Vergara can do creepy very well, its that damn gigantic mouth of hers. Oh and Amber Heard plays a good bitch. I say watch it if your not going to take it seriously. If you are your going to be dissapointed .

Insidious 2

Insidious  2 was freaking awesome. I was really in doubt about the previews I had seen about this movie. I was quite skeptical that it could produce the same effect of the first one. I was wrong! Oh so wrong! This movie was not only really good it was cohesive and well thought out. I mean for those of you who have seen the first one you know that obviously it was going to come with a sequel but what you couldn't expect was the story behind the veil. Then it ties in oh so well with the first, I mean its, just ughh,.... I don't want to say anymore. Trust me that's its really good and you should watch it if you enjoyed the first one. I can't wait for chapter 3, I'm pretty sure there will be one but without the main characters of the first and second installments but do not fear, if the writers remain the same then we shall having nothing to fear but fear itself. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was that it was badly marketed.. well it seemed less interesting but I guess in retrospect I kind of like it because you really were in for a  surprise.
