Terrible Movie Time

Mean Girls 2

Why? WHYYYYYY??? Who was the idiot that thought it was a good idea to try to top the movie of all movies? Almost everyone and their mom has watched Mean Girls. People today still quote it regularly. "On wednesdays we wear pink." It is the ultimate teen movie. When I was looking for a movie on netflix, I saw the title Mean Girls 2. I thought, "Oh my god! It's going to be as awesome as the first Mean Girls!" Sadly it was not. It was like every other stupid disney-teeny-bopper-feel-good movie that has ever been made. A rich girl gets bullied by another rich girl. The bullied girls father pays a "bad ass" (she's not really, but they try to make her look like that) over $20,000 to be friends with his daughter. Over time she realizes that she enjoys the rich girls company and shouldn't have taken her fathers money. They take over the school and the "bad ass" becomes the bullier. The rich girl doesn't like that, and at the same time finds out about the money. They get into a fight, shit goes down, and then they make up again. If you see this movie, scroll past it. That way you won't have to waste two hours of your life on the dumbest movie ever made.

Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil, Officially my favorite movie.

If you are looking for a really original movie, look no more because you  have found the perfect one.I'm not sure what genre this movie would be in. It could easily be horror, or comedy, or even a love story. The pure genius of it still blows my mind. It's about these two hillbillies that are going on vacation at a rickety cabin in the secluded woods. They meet up with these college kids. The college kids are stereotypical. We have the stupid blonde, the middle eastern cutie, the athletic black guy, the pretty boy prep, the funny stoner, and the intellectual bookworm that is gorgeous. They are completely afraid of the hillbillies.When the college kids get to their camp ground, in the same secluded woods as the hillbillies, they decide to go skinny dipping. The intellectual bookworm that is gorgeous decides to jump off of a rock far from her friends. It just so happens that the too hillbillies are night fishing in the area and see her jump. After 30 seconds she still doesn't come up. One hillbilly, dale, jumps in and saves her. The college kids see this and think that he is trying to kidnap her. They try to "rescue" her after they think the hillbillies are torturing her. They are ridiculously stupid and basically kill themselves. My mom always tells me that there are three sides to every story. In this case the hillbillies are trying to kidnap the bookworm from the college kids point of view, the college kids are trying to commit mass suicide and want to kill the bookworm from the hillbillies view, and what actually happened.
It is all about the eye of the beholder.

Warm Bodies worth seeing?

Warm Bodies is a fascinating film. Originally it first started as a novel, which I haven’t read, but I heard it is amazing. When I watched the trailer, before it was in theaters, I was ecstatic! Zombies, adventure, romance, comedy, what more could you want in a movie? I have some pretty high expectations when it comes to movies, this one blew mine to another planet. The gore was perfect. I watched a zombie tear off dead flesh from his face and eat it. The graphics for the really dead “Boney’s” were not the best, but they still got the point across that they are vicious, man killing skeletons.
The thriller kept me on my toes at all times. The battle between the Boneys and the Zombies and the Humans was epic to say the least.
The romance was impeccable. The two actors made the audience feel like they had a true connection. I also loved how the author of the book named the characters Julie and R. Its almost a direct link to Romeo and Juliet. They aren’t supposed to be together. R is dead. Julie is alive. At one point in the movie Julie walks out on her balcony and R calls to her. She tells him that he should not be here. Her father will find them. It was a beautiful reference.
The comedy was hilarious. They spit out one-liners left and right. “My friend “M” says the irony of being a zombie is that everything is funny, but you can’t smile, because your lips have rotted off.”
If you have time in your busy schedule, I HIGHLY recommend this movie.

About Me

Hey, I’m a 17-year-old Colorado kid named Madi. I'm a total movie fanatic. This blog is all about movies. Sometimes I will rant about how terrible they are, and other times I will praise the director, producer, whatever for their genius ideas. I look at movies in a unique perspective. Taking Philosophy and Ethics in high school has really added depth and meaning to my critic. Plus the countless varieties from low budget movies like Dorian Gray to Avatar, one of the highest budget movies in the world, give me a broad list to talk about. I’ll post movies that you have never heard of guaranteed. Follow me!
