Movies!

Dear Randomness, Inc. Readers,
Happy New Year! First post of 2011...just saying. You guys should enjoy this year, as it's the year before we'll supposedly 'die'. Anyway, I digress.

Back to the topic: movies! I am in a movie mood right now, which I have never been in before. It's a new experience. Due to the fact I come from a movie-obsessed family, I have seen quite a few films. So here I am, giving you my reviews from some movies I just randomly chose out of a hat!

Alice In Wonderland (Tim Burton's movie, of course)
Yay for Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter movies) and Johnny Depp (Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean, Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and a good many other films)! And I love Mia Wasikowska in this movie, she portrays Alice nicely. The movie was good, I just re-watched it yesterday! YAY! If you haven't watched it yet, be sure to see it.

Avatar
Yeah, yeah, I know. Bad timing. It was released two years ago, but really, I saw it in the beginning of 2010. The IMAX 3-D was incredible, it was like James Cameron made it especially for IMAX 3-D. But the storyline? Kind of predictable. But yes, I did like it.

Inception
Why am I reviewing only good movies? Strange. Anyway...back to Inception. This was a GREAT movie, but you gotta be smart to understand everything on the first time watching it. I certainly didn't. In fact, I didn't even WANT to watch it in the theater the first time, I just went 'cause I liked popcorn. I spent the first half of the movie playing games on my dad's iPhone, and then when the battery was low, I didn't understand anything about the movie and wasn't certain of anything except Ariadne's name had a cool connection to what she did in the movie and that Mal creeped me out.

But then when I checked out Roger Ebert's review of Inception, he liked it so I figured maybe I should give the movie a chance. And I watched it. And I liked it. So you should watch it, too!

TRON: Legacy
Meh. This was an OK movie, nothing special. I didn't like it that much, but I didn't positively hate it. If you have nothing better to do, TRON: Legacy will keep you entertained for a while at least.

There are your reviews for today, and hoping you have a very nice year!

Yours Randomly,
Cafina
