I’m trying to break out of my previous no-blog niche. Sorry. And in an attempt to calm down my mind (I have an AP Human Geography test in a couple hours), I’ve decided to post something.
So in the past two days I’ve seen The Departed and Iron Man. I loved them both. So the name Bill didn’t really fit with Leonardo Di Caprio, but that’s not important.
The Departed, although I loved the intensity and anxiety, used the F word every other phrase. Seriously, it was almost a little over-done at times. Sure, it’s a strong word for certain situations, but The Departed may have overused it. A tad. But still, I really enjoyed this movie. I was tense the whole time, and the storyline tugged me along and threw me into unexpected walls, to my delight. I love when a movie isn’t predictable. The final scene was very well played out (Mark Wahlberg. MARK WAHLBERG!!), although the scene before that, at the abandoned building, was a bit much. I’m pretty sure the editors and directors were strung out on something and had blood on their minds towards the end, but I liked the majority of the movie too much to be too angry.
Iron Man’s movie reviews are dead on. Excellent cast, excellent action, excellent dialog, excellent movie. I saw it in theaters with my friend Rachel yesterday. I’ve never actually read the comic book, but I don’t think it mattered if you were familiar with them or not. I think they tied comedy with intensity very well, because I was entertained as well as on the edge of my seat the whole movie. Of course, the soundtrack was pretty good as well, which helped.
I would recommend Iron Man to pretty much anyone. As for The Departed, well, if you don’t mind cursing (and a lot of it) and enjoy mafia-style movies mixed with undercover spies, then go rent it.
Ok, back to last-minute revival of memory. Toodles!
Oh, I almost forgot. DO YOU SEE HOW MANY NEW COMMENTS THERE ARE??? YES!!!! My “Let’s Argue” seems to be a success, and the best part is that people who aren’t members of the site are checking back to converse and debate! NEW PEOPLE!! NEW HITS!! I AM REBORN!!!!!!!
Also, The Host, Stephenie Meyer’s new book, is one of my new favorite books. Check it out. Came out Tuesday. Excellent.
