Inglourious Basterds

I liked it. The whole story is very creative. I mean, put all the nazis on a movie theater and then blow it up? I wouldn't have thought of that.

Brad Pitt is really good. South boy, Basterds leader. But he isn't the main character, and I see that as a good thing. Actually, there is no main character. The story is divided in several chapters, each one telling a story that, at the beginning don't seem to have any connection, but in the end, you realize that they complete each other. It's kinda intricate to explain, you have to see it to understand.

The movies is very violent. There's a lot of shooting and killing, but I don't have a problem with that. Quentin Tarantino knows how to make a violent movie be fun. You can take it from the Kill Bill movies. They are violent, but they're also absurd, and that makes them laughable. I looooove Kill Bill =P

haha

The Ride - Short Film

For those who didn't understand yet, The Ride is the short film inspired by the new 30 Seconds To Mars' single, Kings and Queens. It's what most people would call a music video.

In my opinion, A Beautiful Lie is VISUALLY better. All of those images of the glaciers are breathtaking. Every single frame of the film is wonderful. But The Ride made me feel like I had never felt before. The riders' will to keep moving forward, the strength that they showed while riding, was amazing.

I must say, Jared makes me even more interested when he credits Bartholomew Cubbins as the director. He does his job beautifully, with wonderful shots of Los Angeles. I've never been to LA, but I felt like I knew that city. Creepy o.O

I also liked the fact that they took the main spotlight off themselves and put it in the fans. Although, out of every scene of the band playing, Jared and Shannon are in the majority. Tomo is kinda hidden =/

Anyway, the film's inspiring and It's one of my favorites so far.

PS.: Love the fact that Emma Ludbrook produced it *o*

Chapter 27

I've never watched a movie about John Lennon's death, so I didn't know much about it. All I knew was that it happened in New York, in front of his apartment and that his killer was a "fan".

I might not be the best person to say this, but Jared Leto was outstanding. I've already seen thousands of interviews of him and 30 Seconds To Mars. That guy was nothing like him. I don't think it was just the over weigh, it was his expressions, his accent, his way of walking, talking... Creepy o.O

I not a huge Beetle fan, but i know how important they were to the world music. Now, you wonder what was going through Mark Chapman's head when he shot John Lennon. There is no way you can imagine. No one can. It's impossible.

I really liked the movie. It's very powerful, very deep. It's not something you wanna see if you need to get cheered up. Not at all. But it's a great movie.

This one is going to my watch-again-when-i'm-older list.

see ya :D

Transformers: Revenge of the fallen

*explosion*

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

That was my reaction. For REEEEAL!

Let's face it: Tranformers' special effects are the best. The slow motion scenes are breathtaking. Specially those where the robots are fighting. Plus, the cinematography helps a lot.

So far, this could be my reaction for both movies: Tranformers 1 and 2. The big problem of the 2nd is the script.

(Spoiler)

First of all, I thought Megatron was dead! How could he simply come back from the dead?! What about the cube thing? They said it was destroyed! But , NOOOOO, it wasn't!

The story is very poor. They could've been a bit more creative, right? I don't know. That relationship between Shia LaBeauf and Megan Foxis kinda wierd. The beauty and the geek. A bit too cliche to me.

As I said before, the effects are amazing, but if you want something more, go watch the first movie. It's much better ;)
