"I am better." "At what?" "Everything."


Everyone's been going on and on about newest Star Trek film. I decided to go check it out, since I wanted to start my cinema summer as soon as I could.

Star Trek Into Darkness, was pretty cool. Really exciting, and they had some brilliant actors there again. Chris Pine is awesome Kirk, Zachary Quinto is good as Spock, and they've just chosen the right actors to play characters that are more known played by someone else. But it's not just Kirk and Spock that are good, also Sulu, Chekov, Scotty and of course my favourite, Bones. And of course I enjoy seeing Leonard Nimoy every once in a while. But this casting is mostly the same as it was in the first J. J.'s Star Trek. But what about the new faces, Alice Eve, Benedict Cumberbatch?
Alice Eve was really good, as always. I've been really enjoying her other work as well. But we all know, that people are most excited about Cumberbatch. Well, he was just... alright. I don't know, why I didn't like his role as much as everyone else has seemed to enjoy. 

The plot was good. Although, there was a one pet peeve of mine that I wish they could've avoid. This spoils a bit much, so here goes: Kirk went into ... I have no idea what's the name of that place, but anyway, there was a lot of radiation. He got Enterprise working again, but he died. I was heart broken, as I think many viewers have been. But then they decided to use Khan's blood, and bring him back alive. Because the writer's just couldn't kill off Kirk's character, could they? (Yeah, I know, I've done this thing too - bringing a character back from the dead. But I'll be honest - I'll never do that to main character.) It works at some points, (Deadpool breaking the fourth wall, Xavier in the end of Last Stand...) but usually it's just... meh.

But yeah, it could've been better. I'm kind of disappointed.

*****

But hey, this might have been my nicest experience at a movie theatre. When I got there, I saw that the posters were free this time! (I'm enjoying movie themed posters, as others cover their walls with bands) But there were people at the poster stand, so I just spent three minutes looking at The Wolverine poster. Then I went to look at the other posters. I couldn't find The Wolverine one, so I'll probably have to wait until next time. If there isn't any, I'll probably have to ask for one. Because I need a Wolverine poster. Anyway, I got a Hit-Girl one, since I'm also excited about Kick-Ass 2.


Anyway, then I realised that the movie is about to start. I hurried upstais, got my ticket checked, and walked into the hall, and boom - there's no one there. I was all alone during the whole movie, and I got to admit: I enjoyed it. I was even happy that no one came with me, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the moment myself. 

But yeah, I mentioned cinema summer. It means that there's so many cool movies coming up this summer. Well, Star Trek was one of them, but then there's Kick-Ass 2, Man of Steel, Now you see me and of course Wolverine.

"Are you for real?" "I believe so."


...Umm, I've probably already said I don't like romantic movies. I've probably said it like a thousand times. But umm... Unfortunately that's not true any more. Now I have a soft spot for this movie, since it was incredibly cute and I ... I just liked it.

Why did I start watching it? Well, there's time travel. And there's also Hugh Jackman AND Liev Schreiber in it. You know, they were playing brothers in X-men Origins Wolverine, and I just love them together. Unfortunately, they weren't in the same scene so much, since Schreiber's character went to hospital. 

But there was so many things I loved in this movie. Kate was a really good character. And oh my god, was Hugh Jackman hot and adorable at the same time. And well, the plot could've been better, but I still liked it, and you know, I spent most of the time squealing, because Kate and Leopold were so cute and I don't know. But I just loved the movie and and I don't know anything.

And you know, I tried to liveblog most of the film, but well, I got stuck in the plot and was so fascinated I couldn't do it probably. But most of my posts on Tumblr seriously sums up my reactions to this movie. But seriously, it just was so lovely. Meg Ryan was brilliant, and Hugh Jackman was brilliant, and mostly everybody were brilliant. Case closed.

"Surprised that a girl with an IQ over seventy can give you a hard on?"

¨

I just were complaining about not watching new films. Well I watched one last night, woohoo. This is one of those films that's been sitting on the shelf for so long and I hadn't still watched it. I tried to download this, but then my dad said that he had it. And then he bought it for me from the flea market. Yeah. Well, one of the reasons why I wanted to watch this is... well, you see. Hugh Jackman, and of course Halle Berry is a big plus.

The plot itself wasn't so god damn interesting. Pretty simple for a film this type - let's hack something and steal the money, and explosions and stuff. But the characters were nice. Especially Travolta's character. I'm not so big fan of Travolta, but he portrays his characters nicely. Also this movie had some nice colours, and the visual effects were so nice. 

[I'm ashamed of my really short bad review but I don't want to delete all the reviews that are really short and bad. With love, Misto from 2014.]

"Forever in darkness. A guardian devil."


I just finished Daredevil.

Umm... I'm not sure how I feel about this movie. It's not the best of Marvel, but it's somewhat underrated. People don't talk about Daredevil at all.

You ever heard of Daredevil? He's like the Batman of Marvel. Like seriously. His father died, and he apparently is doing stuff he does because of that. And he talks about justice. Batman chose his outfit to scare his opponents, and seems like so did Daredevil. But the difference is how much more bad ass is Daredevil. His not so rich that he could easily buy the stuff he needs to be a "superhero." He's just good, since all his senses are so accurate. Except that he's blind. Which makes him so bad ass.

The story wasn't so interesting, and also Elektra's fate is really disappointing. But also I got really interested in Colin Farrell, who played Bullseye, one of the bad guys. Since there seemed to be quite many of them. But I don't know, there just was something about Bullseye and Farrell, I don't even know what it is.

And even though I will always think that Daredevil is kind of  better than Batman, I'd rather watch Batman. You get me?

"Some people, not me of course, but I think some people might find you somewhat kind of attractive."


Hick was something I didn't thought it would be. I don't even remember what I thought it was when I decided to put it on the list and watch it some day.

All the accent were so annoying though.

But the story was kind of good. I mean it wasn't just... the basic story about growing up and stuff like that, because I kinda got afraid that it would be like that. But no, it was so much more. All the characters were so... real, they were so... human. Everyone in their own way. And Jesus christ how a young girl like Chloe Grace Moretz can act! 

But now that I know everything, now that I've seen this film, I'm afraid how attracted I was to Eddie. I mean damn, I was so attracted to him and and then BAM and I don't know. I don't want to spoil anything from you guys, I don't want to tell you everything about Eddie. But oh, the actor, also called Eddie, is so, so good looking. And he rocked that role! 
I don't even know if I want to watch Les Mis anymore, since he was so good in this, and I don't want to ruin this role, but maybe it won't, I don't know.

I'm so god damn tired.

"Villainy wears many masks, none of which so dangerous as virtue..."



Sleepy Hollow was amazingly stunning, visually. And the story also was great. I'm not so sure if the legend of Sleepy Hollow has interested me personally, I just thought I could watch it now that I'm at home, sick.

I'm not a big fan of Tim Burton, I actually think he's a bit overrated, but Sleepy Hollow is still great. Maybe he's best work, alongside with Edward Scissorhands. And I also think Johnny Depp is terribly overrated (even though his roles are all very different, he is still always annoyingly similar  Just look at his facial expressions. Yes, I know, one person cannot make so many different expressions, but still.) and I think in this movie he is as good as he's ever going to get.

But this movie was surprisingly good, and I can't repeat this enough: visually stunning. It was so colourless it was stunning.
