Movie Review (January-March 2010)

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

• EPIC FAIL
• A waste of time
• as bad as Twilight (no, I didn't have the urge to waste another couple of hours for New Moon so I couldn't compare it against that other Hollywood abomination)

Book of Eli

• Wonderful
• Entertaining
• Full of surprises
• The set up and costume design looked a lot like the Fallout series, which was post-Apocalyptic

Alice in Wonderland

• Everybody did a good portrayal of their characters except for Johnny Depp
• If you love Johnny Depp, skip this movie (read why)

Up in the Air

• I would have personally preferred reading it as a book
• It's a DVD movie, not a cinema movie

How to Train your Dragon

• Instant favorite
• Has all of Up's cuteness without the drama. It'll make you happy without making you cry first.

I love you, Phillip Morris

• Half of the movie is laugh trip
• The other half is still funny but I mostly kept on telling myself, if these were a heterosexual couple then I would have died from their cheeziness
• Ewan McGregor can make any role adorable

Where the Wild Things Are

• I feel alienated
• More boring than Paulo Coelho's By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept novel
• I don't even find it adorable... probably because I didn't encounter the picture book when I was a child
• Can't finish the remaining half hour of the movie
• Yeah, it means more than the film. But it's still bad entertainment. I'd be more than happy to use it in a literature write up, but I'm no longer in school so I'm burying it
  

The Blind Side

• Good job, Sandra Bullock. You made your character adorable without making it Ms. Congeniality.
• All roles were played well and in the right manner
• It's not cheesy and men can admit having watched it without shame
• I liked it a lot. It's a hundred fold better than Have You Heard About the Morgans

on the list for my Holy Week movie marathon:

• I Love You, Phillip Morris
• The Blind Side
• Where the Wild Things Are
• Armored

Am I missing anything?
