No surprise there.. Ok, there was a little surprise but that's probably because I didn't expect this story when I saw the poster. This was another that I avoided since I thought it was going to be bad and... I was half right! It wasn't bad it wasn't good it just.. have been made amillion times.
It is the same love story between animals that I've seen at least four times... that I can remember! There is this bird that gets captured and gets lost from his natural enviorment where he meets a human that takes care of him. One day a strange man comes to her door and wants her bird to mate since he is the last male of their spieces. So it's a typical love story, no surprices, not nothing. The villian just wants money and bla bla bla... Pretty boring..
But the colors were nice! They really captured the colors exactly right in this movie and it was always pleasant to look at. The characters were nothing interesting only cliché and also the dialoge were cliché. It was that line where something bad happens to the love interest and the guy says "It's all my fault"... They just had it here because it was a cliché. They don't say anything that no, it's not your fault. They just cut to the chase right after... They didn't need that line. So yeah...
I guess it's not bad because... Well, the colors do help with bringing the movie up a bit, and well.. The story is good it's just that it has been done a few times. So it wasn't really bad just "been done". You can check this movie out if you want, the humor can be a pain sometimes but some jokes can be entertaining. And that's pretty much it.
I intend to write about movies that I've only seen once. So what I'm writing here is my first opinion about a movie, my first impression. It can be a lot more interesting if you do that and things like that when the emotion is fresh inside you.
.. I'm not going to that this time. This time I'm gonna write about The number 23 which I saw for the second time today. The first time I saw about... one and a half year ago. All I remember is that I really liked it... and some scenes from it. I have no idea why I don't remember a movie that is really good. I still think it's really good! Maybe it is because I'm not really interested in Thrillers or Scary Movies... They're not really my thing. Anyway! I'm not gonna talk about why I don't remember it! I'm gonna talk about why it's good! First, you need to know the story. And I'm not gonna go spoilers in this post!
The story is about a man, played by Jim Carrey. (Jim Carrey is the reason I was introduced to this movie because I love him!) The man's wife is picking up a book from a bookstore because sadly the man was late to their meeting. The book is about another man's story who becomes obsessed about the number 23. As the Jim Carrey character (not gonna say the name here) continues to read he realizes that the man in the book has many things in common as himself. As the story continues you follow the Jim Carrey character as he becomes obsessed with the number 23. He realizes that everything leads to the number 23 and he starts to question if it's a coincident or if it has some hidden meaning to it. Although the people around him says that if you search for a number it will appear everywhere and the number isn't magical by itself but only if people give it some hidden meaning. Although the Jim Carrey character can't let go of his suspisions and has to figure out the meaning of 23.
I love that story. It only has ONE problem, but it's a small one and it tries to create more suspision so... It can be overlooked. The acting.. Love it. Everyone in this movie tries their best and everyone wants to create a good thriller about an obsession. I love Jim Carrey so I can't really talk about his acting here, but it's NOT goofy as he usualy do (he can do differant rolls -.- Just watch The Majestic! I was really bored by it) but the other one did a good job too. I didn't think one time that the acting was bad. I was just really sucked in by the story so.. ... It's a good story! I like it.
The characters are interesting. There are few of them because the movie knows to hold the character list down to just the family and the people they accounter, which is not many. And it's mostly good put together. There are just a few things that are pretty small that can suck you out for a moment, but it's not huge so you can overlook it to my oppinion. But other than that the characters are all interesting.
Ehum... Don't know what to say more... I just want everyone to see this because.. I have no idea if people know about it or not. I didn't know about it until a friend showed it to me and said "You who like Jim Carrey..." so I just want to recomend it and tell everyone who read this that this movie exist and it's great!! So go see it!
(Also I'm gonna try to post two movie reviews every month... I don't know if I can hold it, but I'm gonna try! And I'm not setting like.. on satturdays, no! two reviews every month if I have the time, gonna at least try! So... One more review this month coming up! Bye!)
Oh damn o.o That's scary! I had no idea... that THIS was my 23rd post.... It was TOTAL coincident, I'm not joking! ... That's scary! It was posted 00:26 however so that's a relief... But still! OMG! ... Scary..
