[I can't find a quote for this movie, sorry]

 I watched Sabrina The Teenage Witch, a television movie from 1996.  And apparently the movie was made before the TV-show, that I've watched 4 seasons of 7 already, and I haven't read the comics and stuff (is there comics, I think there is comics), so I'm only comparing to the series.

I prefer the casting in TV-show. Only good thing about movie's casting was that Melissa Joan Hart was playing Sabrina, because Hart is amazing, and also young Ryan Reynolds (with really stupid hair) as Seth, whose character was not seen in TV-show. But most of the actors were completely different compared to the TV-show. 

Also I think few characters changed a lot. I mean Hilda and Zelda's chacters were completely backwards! In the show, Zelda was the more serious one, and Hilda the hilarious one, but in the movie it was other way round, and it was completely weird. Also, Katie Lamore, or whatever her name was, was changed into Libby Chessler. Marnie had the same actress, but she now was Jenny. Also Harvey in the movie was more geeky and outsider, so in the show they took Harvey's adorable character but gave him Seth's popularity. I guess. But Nate Richert will always be the right Harvey for me. Also, SALEM'S VOICE WAS ALL WRONG. And Salem is the most important part of the show, but his part in the movie was so small, and his voice just... Nick Bakay is the only Salem Saberhagen.

Plot wasn't so amazing. So many... stuff. I mean yeah, I've been watching the show so long, that I live in the show's canon, and not in the movie canon. And I don't even know which one is more correct!

Don't watch the movie. Watch the TV-show.

"What am I allergic to?" "Pine nuts, and the full spectrum of human emotion."


I know what you're thinking. Why the hell is Misto watching romantic comedies? I thought she didn't like them! Well, true, I don't. I mean I don't like them as a genre. But my taste in music is already extensive, why couldn't I have extensive taste in the movies too? 

So the idea here was, that the main character, Margaret Tate, is Canadian, but living in New York and working for American company. But then, she hears that she's about to be deported back to Canada, and her visa is about to expire. So, she decides to marry her assistant Andrew, who is not so excited about the idea, but since his job is on the line, he agrees. And they fly the Alaska for some kind of family reunion of Andrew's, and they announce their engagement, and yeah.

I'm not sure how I felt about the movie. It was nice to watch, and well, it was okay. But I don't think it was anything more than okay, to be honest. I mean, I don't know if I'm going to watch this ever again. But yeah, it was nice to see a film like this when I usually watch all action movies with lot of violence and stuff, so yeah. Also Ryan Reynolds is wonderful. But I don't know how I feel about Sandra Bullock.

"Henceforth I'll be known as The Motherfucker."



Anyway, hmm, remember how I was so excited for The Wolverine? Well, I wasn't very excited for Kick-Ass 2, because yeah, it's a sequel. And you know how sequels always suck? So yeah, I had really high expectations of The Wolverine, which is probably why my reaction to it being wasn't so... strong. I mean watching that movie was like holy shit, but you know, that was the only feeling inside my head. ...Apart from that crying bit, but let's not talk about that.

Let's talk about how I didn't expect much from Kick-Ass 2, and how it was completely and utterly awesome movie. I think that because I wasn't expecting so much made me have so many feelings about this movie. I mean why I liked the first one? It was more realistic. I mean if superheroes existed, that was the shit they'd probably have to go through - getting caught, tortured and humiliated. Also the violence is really fucking graphic, (so basically, if that kind of shit makes you feel disturbed, don't watch these), and I enjoy watching it. So yeah, Kick-Ass 2 as a sequel was fucking awesome. And even as an individual movie, this movie was good!

The plot was good, I mean it carried on where the first movie was left. And it filled the story perfectly. I mean there was no gaps, and if there wasn't, they won't get stuck in your head and keep you up all night. (OK at least nothing's bothering me right now). And it just was... good. Oh my god, I didn't know how much I needed this movie until now that I've seen it. Woah.

And the casting is perfect. Let's not talk about how cool Aaron Johnson is as Kick-Ass, or how Chloe Grace Moretz is so fucking great actress even though she's so young, and how brilliant she is. Let's not even talk about how hot Christopher Mintz-Plasse was. Let's talk about the new actors we had here. Like yeah, maybe Evan Peters would've been good as Todd, but this new guy, Augustus Prew, was just as good. Also, I really liked Robert Emms as Insect man (his character was just so good) and Lindy Booth as Night Bitch. I don't know if they are as unknown actors as they seemed, but I liked them both. And also, let's talk about one of the reasons I was psyched for this movie: Colonel Stars And Stripes. Jim Carrey did one hell of a job. Again.

I don't know what else to tell you about this movie. Nothing much I guess. Anyway, if you've seen the first one, go see this one too. Even if you didn't like the first one, it's just... you have to see this.

"What kind of monster are you?" "The Wolverine!"


Oh my god, Wolverine. Oh my god, Jean. Oh. My. God. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE.

Even though I mentioned about waiting for this film in the previous post, the part where Elli and I sat 45 minutes at the theatre waiting, I didn't mention what I felt like. I had been waiting for a year and now it was 45 minutes away from happening. And my stomach started hurting, I was so fucking excited and I couldn't even sit properly still, I breath like I was giving birth, or that's what we said,  I don't know. And Elli was getting pretty excited too, Aisha and Casper... Well I have no idea.

BUT THE MOVIE WAS SO GOOD. It was so much better than I expected! And it was ... it was like it was either a) a devastating scene, b) something hilarious or c) action. Well, I was fine with that. Mostly. I'm pretty sure I somewhat blacked out at one point, because suddenly I was all like WHAT IS GOING ON. And yeah.

I hardly cry at the cinema, I mean there's people and everything, ugh, you just can't cry there, right? I cried a bit at The Hunger Games, but just a little. But this time, woah, I started crying and then I cried more because there was make up on my eyes, and there was a line of make up on my face because I cried and everything.

And the scene after credits, oh my god.

I'm not sure what I can say about this movie without... spoiling. I don't know which ones of my few readers are going to see the movie but yeah, just in case.

But let me just say: woah.

"Why are you reading that book? Nobody reads books anymore! Movies are always better, especially sequels."


Hoodwinked! was probably one of the most legendary movies I saw as a kid. I mean they were hilarious. I watched the first one again last night, and now I watched the sequel. And yeah, it is a sequel, it doesn't beat the original one. But it still was pretty amazing. And I'm glad they kept few characters, like that Goat who was cursed, so he had to keep singing. One of my favourite characters. And by favourite character I mean I laughed my fucking ass off while watching the first movie. This time? Not so much. But the movie was pretty okay. I think I will stuck with the first one, though.

But yeah, the actors in these movies were amazing. And I don't even mind that Anne Hathaway wasn't Red in this one, Hayden Panettiere was pretty good. And you know, voice actors just are so bleeding good. I mean you can almost see a character (as a human, if it's not, like the wolf, or that bear who is police and so on). Also that little rabbit is still freaking me out so much, I mean come on.

"They'll kill him." "How?"


I went to see Man of Steel with Aisha. It was the premiere, or at least it was here. Again I got to enjoy Wolverine trainer before the film, ah. Anyway, I didn't know much about Superman when I went to see this movie. I thought it would be nice, since most Superhero films I watch... I know something about the character in advance. Except for X-men First Class, since I just watched it because of Jennifer Lawrence. But now I didn't know much - I knew Superman was an alien from Krypton and stuff. That's about it. 

I was actually impressed by the movie. I don't like Superman's character, though, he's a bit annoying. But the movie was well made, and very intense. I enjoyed myself most of the time (here I have to mention: we were in the loge. The chairs were awfully comfy, it was really nice), and it... the movie just clicked. It was good. I may see it again some day.
