realized I kind of want to go over the movies I watched...reviews. :) Like what I did last spring break, but I guess not as long and etc.. (look at my March 2010! 80 something entries!)
--
Letters To Juliet: Basically about Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), whose engaged, goes to Verona for a 'pre-honeymoon' and findd a letter written by Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) in the 1950's, seeking for 'Juliet's' advice on what to do. Sophie's reply to the letter encouraged Claire to go search for her lover. Claire arrives at Verona with her grandson, Charlie (Christopher Egan), and the adventure begins.
It's just a nice movie to watch when you don't want anything too intense. I don't have much to say about it, but just very nice screenshots...definitely. It's predictable and just one of those romantic chick flicks, etc.. Typical. I wouldn't high recommend this, but yeah...watch it. =) Quite nice...I guess.
Amanda Seyfried bugs me (I, for some reason, started not liking her...haha).

Charlie St. Cloud: Another really predictable movie. Too lazy to type up the plot, so I will briefly summarize it: Charlie St. Cloud got into an accident where he lived and his brother passed away. Well, not really passed away, but is in between the two worlds. After the accident, he has the ability to see 'ghosts/spirits' and he would meet his brother before sunset at a place and they would practice baseball. Five years have gone by and Charlie continues this, keeping his promise he made with his brother before the accident. Things change when Charlie's old classmate comes back for sailing and etc..
Movie features Zac Efron. I would say it's kind of like Letters To Juliet...for whether I would recommend watching it or not. It's just one of those movies I would just...watch. Like, I won't hate it or love it, but only like it. Those movies where I would just throw it on when I'm bored and not interested in seeing anything special.
The brother thing reminded me a bit of Raise Your Voice (for some reason) and yeah. Felt like I knew what's happening, could obviously guess and basically..the answers were all laid out. The movie is different from the book though. =)
--
Leap Year: I rewatched Leap Year last night as well. Felt like seeing the view in Ireland again. I still like it. =) I'm biased though..Amy Adams is just gorgeous and Mathew Goode is charming. xP
--
Flipped: Many have probably heard of or read this book in elementary. I actually quite like the movie. ~ It followed the book pretty well and I just like the plot. Watching puppy love just brings back the memories. The main girl is from Resident Evil, the White Queen whereas the boy...is cute. xP
Not a very review...lol.
It's not amazing, but for some reason...I loved it. I do recommend watching it. =) Just for watching. Has a nice moral to it.
--
G-Force: was cute. As expected, it was aimed for kids. I actually expected it to be a little more cuter...better. Normally, I like these films, but towards the middle...I just wanted to get it over with. I mean, watch it with your younger siblings, it's quite funny at times. As expected, these films are predictable so yeah...enough said.
Prefer Despicable Me and Megamind more.
--
The Da Vinci Code: Yeah, it took me a while to get to this movie. I didn't really have that 'mood' to watch anything serious. I love these kind of movies, the kind that twists facts into something entirely false, but makes it so believable. It got me all excited.
Acting-wise, was pretty good for me. I just really liked it. I think the plot was what makes me love above all things.
I haven't read the book yet so I can't exactly compare (though it's always best to read before watching).
The timing wise, I think the ending was quite rushed. If you watch it, you would understand that the Church part seemed rushed. The first half took a little too long and the ending felt like they were just jamming information into you.
By the middle-end, you kind of expects what he was going to say and knew what's going to happen. The ending was a given after the middle...so I guess it was kind of an anti-climax. I know they wanted to make the end more excited and would pump up your energy, but it kind of backfired instead...at least for me.
Now I need to watch Angels & Demons...at least finish it. Har har.

Princess and The Frog/Tangled: HIGHLY RECOMMEND. ENOUGH SAID. <3
I love both and forever will. :P
The music in Princess and The Frog was nice. I love how you can't hate the characters. The 'spoiled brat' girl was so cute. The prince was quite charming. I guess the only character I did not like was the impostor...As for the 'bad' guy, I, for some reason, quite like him. Haha, maybe until the end...he freaked me out a bit. The croc was just adorable! ~ and I cried at the firefly part. D:
No one could be as chivalrous.
Tangled I loved because the main guy was not a prince, but charming like any other princely characters. Rapunzel was gorgeous with both blond and brown. I love the lizard thing and the horse (who believes in justice like no other). Everything is just so nice! I love it! Honestly, watch watch watch!

Burlesque!
I just like films like these. Christina Aguilera is an amazing vocalist. That's for sure. The singing is amazing. The dancing was impressive, very different. The plot was not exactly original and quite predictable. I think the only thing impressive I can comment about is the singing, the music, sung by both Cher and Christina.
Aguilera's acting did tick me off a few times...because it was so...bad and fake. I'm sure you will probably know when I'm talking about (the pleading and etc..). I have no idea whether it's intentional (sarcasm) or real...either way, it was unnecessary.
Overall, I still like it. I guess it's another movie you watch because you watch.
I mean, definitely watch for Cam Gigandet. ;D

Movies I watched this spring break aren't very that impressive. :S Kind of disappointed. I think animation is starting to become more appealing to me than live movies...
at least for animation, you will always be impressed with the tech part of it and music will always be notable because it plays such a big role.
I also watched Kimi Ni Todoke live action...not recommended. It sucked, I mean...I love Haruma Miura, but he just didn't fit the role for me...and the main actress was not well picked either. They took out some good parts and it just...-sigh- I did not like it and am disappointed.
I guess that's it? Sorry for the long entry!
