What i have watched...

Firstly i haven't been able to post much stuff because my brother has been hogging the computer. I have been watchging quite a few movies and couldn't wait to revoiew them, but i just sort of forgot what i wanted to say. Here is a list of movies i have seen as of late that i can't post reviews on individually.



Gallipoli (1981)- It was a well shot movie, good acting, Mel Gibson was very likeable (sue me!!!). Ending was sad. It's about Australia at Gallipoli in WW1. The teacher had us watch it in SOSE, it was good, if you like a movie that isn't a war movie, but rather movie about a war, i'd recommend this one.





Easy A (2010)- I watched this last night and could have done an individual review but i decided that since i was writing then i may as well write about this. It was hilarious. Maybe a bit cheesy by the end but really cool. i good satire, all the actors are great. Script is witty and fun and Emma Stone will go on to big things if she keeps making good movies like this..

The Court Jester (1955)- Danny Kaye carries this classic along with his energized performance. it is fun, funny, silly and pretty dated. But it's still a good movie but isn't for everyone, if you want to introduce someone to classic musicals or comedy don't show them this right off the bat because it will seem very old to them. don't forget though- still a great movie.







Romeo and Juliet (1968)- the teacher made us write an editorial comparing this and the 1996 version. i flipped a coin and decided to right in favor of this one. it really is pretty good, it's very traditional and isn't as serious as the other one, in fact i have this theory that R & J could even be considered a comedy until Mercutio's death. it was ok but the acting is better in the 1996 version.







Airplane! (1980)- in Australia it's called Flying High but i have taken to calling it Airplane! it's very funny. The late Leslie Nielson was an extremly funny man and the rest of the cast was pretty good too. It always keeps me laughing

The Sterile Cuckoo (1969)- What an amazingly odd movie. Liza Minnelli carries it with her performance as Pookie Adams, a college girl who seems kinda... crazy. But good hearted and nice. It's a movie about her relationship with Jerry Payne (Wendall Burton). I imagine this movie would have been hard to market, it isn't an action movie, or a romantic comedy and no it's not even a love story. It's a story about love. (i'm a cliche factory, haven't you heard?)

Family guy season 7- i love this show. I think it's great. for all those who say it is stupid and crude you are wrong, it lovingly parodies really cool movies (eg- Back To the future[1985], Duck Soup [1933]). It also makes fun of political topics all with surreal humour. I don't like it as much as The Simpsons, but it's pretty darn close.

The Naked Gun (1988) - making fun of serious cop shows in a very slapsticky, straight faced way. Leslie Nielson and Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker have done it again.

So i think those are all i watched. I hope that these reviews were acceptable. And i really want to get some more views of the blog so if you could please read and comment so i know you're still with it would be appreciated. Maybe you could even recommend me some movies to review. I always put pictures in my reviews, sorry if this looks cluttered but atleast you wont have to look too far for posters!
