Sugary Goodness - The Movie (In 3D)

I just fixed my wi-fi.  Daily blogging, here I come! (hopefully.)
Let me talk about the last two movies I saw.

I saw "High Fidelity" last night.  I really liked it.  I thought of Sam P.  because it had a lot of musical things, and there were also some pricky characters that thought they were the all-knowing-know-it-alls of music and movies. <3 u Sam.
John Cusack stars in this... Dramatic comedy?  I am not really sure what the genera is, but it's good.  If you liked "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist", "Be Kind Rewind", and "School of Rock", you will really really like this movie.  A lot of the actors (by that I mean Jack Black and that one chick) are in all those movies too btw.  It was also shot in Chicago, so it gets bonus Ricardo Points.  The non-linearity of the story is not confusing.  I will say though, that if someone were to pitch it at you it would sound boring.  It is a great narrative, and it is enjoyable.

I also saw "Frogs."  It is your typical old, American horror film.  It is so bad it's funny, and I really appreciated that.  I guess I sort of liked it because of how bad and stupid it was.  The one thing it did was keep my attention the whole time.  That was really impressive.  Don't get me wrong, it's not a good movie, but I liked it.  Sue me, Jake.  And Sam.

Two days ago, while deprived from laptop internet, I saw "Man On Wire." Sam was right, there is an element of tension going on throughout the entire film.  I liked it too.  My favorite part was when the dude is finally doing what he always wanted to do, and his girlfriend goes around and says: "Look, it's a wirewalker!"  That moment was recreated so magically in my head.  The way she described everything showed that she had a lot of emotions and estrogen in her.

After that I saw Mike Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story."  What can I say... Did I talk about this one already?  Oh well.  It's two hours, and it scared me from banks and student loans.  I really like it when he goes out and bugs the people he is criticizing.  That always makes me smile, and I think it would take a lot of courage.  Yeah.  Two hour documentary.  Not bad.  Not a good date movie.  They used a song that was also used in "A Clockwork Orange."  I am not a big fan of that movie's soundtrack. (Sue me again, Jake.)

I think that's it for movies lately.  I move two weeks from tomorrow, which means I should get my roommate's contact info tomorrow!  You know, it's stupid.  They are sending me their home phone number and that's it!  Isn't that the dumbest thing ever?!  I would rather get their emails so that I can look them up on Facebook.

Ok, I'm done being a critic (XD lame.)  Thanks for reading and appreciating my thoughts.  I honestly think that I know more about movies than most people.  (Jake and Sam do too.)  Do you agree or disagree?  Katherine?  Do I talk about Jake, Sam and Katherine too much? Sam and Jake don't even read this!

thanks again.

Ta!
