Movies through the breaakk

I watched quite a few movies during the break. Some new, some old. When i was bored, I would just put on a movie so it would keep me busy for an hour or two. I borrowed some from friends as well as bought some on boxing day (Walmart... 2 for $15!).

The first movie I watched in theatres was Seven Pounds. The reviews for this movie were generally good. It was one of those movies that didnt have a lot of commercials on TV.... for a reason. It is mostly the mystery of the movie that brings people to watch it. There were posters all over the TTC, but rarely any on television. So people want to know, whats all the fuss about? I watched an interview on Oprah about it as well, and they did not reveal much. Will Smith said it was a heartwarming movie and everyone would enjoy it. For those who havent seen it yet, it is one of those movies in which the mystery unravels throughout the movie, so you basically have no background information on the context or reasons for anything which is happening. The final "point" is made at the end, which is when the whole movie clicked in for me. My friend got it right in the first 20 minutes, and though I envied her for being able to do so, I kind of enjoyed the fact that I got it at the end. This is because it creates suspense throughout the movie. Anyway, it was a really sweet movie and very very sad. It was worth the watch.

I also watched Valkyrie. This movie was two hours, and very interesting. The theatre was CRAMMED and I got oneof the worst possible seats. But it was a very good movie for history buffs, but not a great one to watch on a Friday night when you are trying to kill time. It takes depth to enjoy it, and perhaps some background information on operation Valkyrie.

I also finally watched Pineapple Express. I thought it was hilarious. I laughed so hard I cried, and then some. It is one of those movies that have the stupid but funny type of humour. The story was absoltuely ridiculous, the language was foul, the content was far from PG... and I loved it ! :)
