[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.
