Since I am on top of my game and actually posting on time (what?!), some of my October movies haven't been released yet. Because of this I'll be adding to this post after Unstoppable comes out, and tacking on Tangled to next month. As for now, here's the ones I've seen and can talk about.
10/4/10: Life As We Know It
There is no hiding the fact that I love chick flicks and this was no exception. I love Josh Duhamel (who doesn't? I know...) and Katherine Heigl, although not my favorite in real life, does have a charm in these kind of things. This was an interesting concept, commendably so, and the plot was well thought out. This isn't your traditional boy meets girl story and the film makers didn't decide to play it out like that.
Bottom line: I'd rather see
27 Dresses, but this was still cute.
10/7/10: It's Kind of a Funny Story
Not to be confused with
It's a Funny Story, this movie is not the next
Hangover. I wasn't duped, but apparently audiences were. Just because Zach Galifanfsdihfdusihg was hilariously retarded in
The Hangover doesn't mean every movie he's in has to be that way. This is a nice story. The acting is good, the characters are enjoyable, and it just makes you feel good about the fact that your life doesn't suck as bad as some people's. It's a nice film about the human experience.
Bottom line: This isn't a movie for everyone
, but if it's for you, you'll like it.
10/14/10: Jackass 3D
This was pretty much my first Jackass experience. I've seen maybe a combined 4.356 minutes of the show and none of the past movie. I admit it's kind of funny, then it goes to far, but hey that's the brand. Really though, I mean you know what this is and if you're going to see it or not. One thing I do need to note however is that this is one of the only 3D movies that has actually been 3D! I want shit (unfortunately in this movie that meant literally :/) popping out at me and that's exactly what they did. If little kids don't feel like they should reach out and touch, I don't think you can call yourself 3D.
Bottom line: If you've seen Jackass you know exactly what this movie is, if you haven't don't start now.
10/17/10: Red
This was is pretty good. It's hard to go wrong with Bruce Willis as a lead in an action flick. There were good fight scenes, good spy tricks, and a good cast. I don't know what magician
convinced Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, and Morgan Freeman to do a movie like this, but more power to him.
Bottom line: Retired and extremely dangerous...the cast or their characters?
10/18/10: Hereafter
Epic disappointment, OMG. I wanted to see this so bad. A movie starring Matt Damon and directed by Clint Eastwood, what could go wrong? nothing!... WRONG! Everything could and did go wrong with this BS. Slowest, crappiest film of the year. I didn't give 2 shits about any of the characters, the chick from
Lady in the Water was annoying as hell and I still don't even know what this film was about. I've walked out of 2 movies in my entire life and if I'd paid for this one it would have been a third.
Bottom line: Tragically terrible here and after.
10/20/10: Unstoppable Release date: November 12
This was one comes with a built in enjoyment purely because of the cast. The story moves fairly well for a couple hours about one runaway train. It's not the best film out there right now, but it's not the worst either.
Bottom line: Denzel Washington and Chris Pine are in it so why not?
10/30/10: Tangled
I'm not happy to hear that this will be Disney's last princess endeavor (at least for awhile), but they definitely went out with a bang. Mandy Moore is flawless and this story has all the makings of a great classic Disney story. I can't get enough.
Bottom line: :)
OCTOBER: 6
Total count for 2010: 89
11 more to go!
