don't be dull, be fannish

Gosh, this was one weird-ass movie! Ewan McGregor and Ryan Gosling were fantastic in it, don't get me wrong, and even Naomi Watts wasn't her usual bland self, yet it was still SO WEIRD!

I know that some "smart" viewers figured out early on what was going on but it wasn't until the last five minutes or so that I finally got it! It became obvious why Henry made Sam the star in his vision and why people kept saying to Sam that he - Henry - was watching him, them. Because he literally was. Though why did the bits and pieces from Henry's vision flash through Sam's head at the very end? Or did the scene where Sam invited Lila out for a cup of coffee still take place in Henry's head? Was it his very last thought and that's why we saw the Sam/Lila scenes flash through Henry's mind? Does it mean it didn't really happen? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! *tears her hair out*

Sheesh on a pogo stick what a completely whacko film! It reminded me of Dream House - which is another movie that starred Naomi Watts, go figure. Hm.

Trailers seen:

Elysium - look, I love sci-fi and maybe I'm totally wrong in this case, but gosh, it looks so boring! Yet another "let's overthrow the system and topple the rich!" shtick. Not even Matt Damon and Jodie Foster make it look interesting. I guess, if there won't be anything else in the cinema that week, I might go and see it, but right now, I don't get what people are so excited about. Nothing we haven't seen done a dozen times over, several times this very year!

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters - if I were a kid, I would swallow it with a spoon. But since I'm not a kid... eh.

White House Down - several months ago, I was excited. Now... eh. I think I will wait for the DVDs. IMHO, the trailer for Olympus Has Fallen looked much better.

Wolverine - I do want to see this in the cinema but the first Wolverine movie was a huge bust, boring as hell and whatnot, and I'm not that big a fan of Wolverine. Actually, I wish they would stop forcing him in every X-Men movie! But it's X-Men. I will go and see it in the cinema in 14 days.

DVDs bought:

Hollywoodland - reading the summary, it sounded very noir. And I like Adrien Brody. And it cost me $2.5 only, so...

Stay - looks like a supernatural thriller with Ryan Gosling and Ewan McGregor. That's pretty much all I needed to know :P

Trainspotting - yes, I haven't seen the movie yet. Not really my cuppa but everybody seems to rave about it and it cost me only $1, so...

Unstoppable - gosh, GOSH, they had the movie in the sales bin! Chris Pine and Denzel Washington! I have wanted to buy it for ages and now I got it for $4 only! I love it when Datart has a sale!
