A Little Variety

Mostly, this blog has been kind of like a journal or diary, when I just put entries in whenever about what's going on in my life. And that's cool and everything, and the main reason I got a blog. Recently, I've been using the blog as a safe haven for homework, which is cool too, because I'm getting some extra use out of it for different purposes. Though now I'm going to take this blog in a completely different direction, while keeping the old things as well, to try to get as much use out of it as possible. Basically, last weekend I watched a movie for the first time in like, forever. So I though, why not rate, and somewhat review the movie on here? And I actually watched three movies last weekend, which was quite an accomplishment. Haha, but yeah, anyways, here it goes... the first ever movie reviews on the blog...

"Little Man" 
3 out of 5 stars
I though this was pretty well put together. The little baby/man looked insanely small, and it led to even think that they have have used camera trickery, but I would doubt it. It was funny in some parts, mainly with the baby and his dumb friend. The story line was kind of weak, and the ending was really lame, but the well executed humor made up for it somewhat. I would say that if you're into comedy, then go ahead and rent it, but it's not really something to watch more than once. But leave this as a backup plan for movie night.

"Leatherheads"
1.5 out of 5 stars
You would think that I would really like this movie with it being about the NFL and having two of my favorite actors in John Krasinski (better known as Jim Halpert) and George Clooney. However, this was an insanely boring and stupid movie with absolutely no point. I have to tell you, "Napoleon Dynamyte" was more exciting. Every movie automatically starts off with one star in my grading scale (so you will never see a zero or .5) and the only thing that got this the extra .5 was the fact that it had those two actors. If they had any other people playing those two roles in this movie, it would have honestly been a one star. It was horrible. Don't bother.

"Righteous Kill"
4 out of 5 stars
Almost got a 4.5, but I think that they only reason I liked it so much was because I hadn't seen a good movie in a long time. I ended up getting this one because of all the commercials about how Al Pachino and Robert De Niro finally come together in a cop film. To be honestly, I've never seen a Pachino movie, and the only time I've seen De Niro was when he was in "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers". There are some twists in this that kept me interested through the whole thing, and the ending is pretty insane and unexpected. This was definitely the best out of the three, and something I will watch again in the future as well as recommend to others. Including you. Try this one.
