Long time no see
I've been very absent from this journal since my move. Things have been busy getting the house together and I haven't had time to read or watch many movies, and I don't even have my sewing machine out yet, so none of that to post either. Well, just in case some people are out there still, I do have a few things to post. I'll try to remember some of the movies I've seen recently. Bollywood and otherwise.
Slumdog Millionaire
Yes, I am aware that I'm the last person in the world to see this movie, but I just watched it tonight. I thought it was fantastic. I actually didn't know anything about the movie at all, and while I knew it was a mainly English production, I didn't actually know that it was all spoken in English! It didn't detract from the movie at all. I really thought it was a fantastic movie. I thought Dev Patel did a really amazing job and he is just adorable, isn't he? Very interesting way to tell the story as well. Really, really enjoyable.
This was a retelling of Madame Bovary, a book which I enjoyed, but I have to say, I didn't really like the interpretation. Especially of the character Maya (Madame Bovary). I understand that Madame Bovary wasn't entirely stable, obviously, but I thought they made Maya way too insane. I just...didn't really find watching it very enjoyable. Not that it was awful or anything, just not great. It was almost worth watching just for SRK, but not enough to recommend my mom watch it.
First movie I've seen in the theatres in months. Simply amazing! Fantastic! I loved it :) I didn't know any more than the average person does about the first Star Trek series. I'd never seen an episode even though I enjoy the other Star Treks. But ever without that experience, I thought it was just fantastic. Definitely something that everyone can enjoy, not just hard core fans. Which was very smart of them to do. I'm really hoping they make some more. I loved the characters and the way the changed up the story line. Very cool. Great movie.
Another one that took me a long time to see. Since I'm sure everyone has seen it, I'll just say that I really enjoyed it and definitely recommend it.
I enjoyed this greatly while I was watching it, but for what I remember, it obviously didn't stick with me. Very interesting story about her life, though they left out a lot of her part in politics, which would have been interesting. Mostly her love life. Which, hello Dominic Cooper, not hard to watch at all. I was wary that with everything I heard about all the fashion in the movie it would turn out something like Mary Anotionette, which I'm quite glad it didn't. Some people thought that it moved too slowly in parts, but I guess they can say that about any period peice, but looking back I thought it covered her life very quickly.
Very cute movie :) First one I watched on the new HD TV actually, so it was interesting in that itself, lol. Even without that, it was very well done, I thought. Cute story, fast movie and omg, I love Lee Pace.
I hope everyone is doing well!!

[EDIT] Oh, and I forgot, I won't bother adding this on my LJ because they already know, but I also watched Twilight. Once again, last person in the world. It was the most ridiculous movie I've ever seen. That's all I have to say. Almost worth watching just to make fun of it in a more educated way, lol.
