Jumper: Meh… entertaining I suppose, but ultimately I wouldn’t recommend it.

Bad Boys: Lots of fun!!! Will Smith can do no wrong.

Hancock: Awesome! I don’t know what’s gotten into all the critics but that movie is great! I think it just wasn’t what people were expecting, it’s not really what I was expecting but that is no reason to hate it. Idiots! All of them! It stands as further proof that Will Smith can do no wrong.

WALL-E: I love that movie! It was adorable with a good strong message. I’ve heard it said that it’s really an adult movie that kids would happen to enjoy, which I can understand. It’s not like a lot of kid’s movies; it’s grown up in a lot of ways including the love interest and the theme. This isn’t to say that it’s got adult content or anything because it really doesn’t. Take the kids, grandparents, neighbors, friends, classmates any one you can find and go see it!

You Don’t Mess With the Zohan: Good. Funny. Maybe trying too hard to make a point that people can get along and all that crap. Meh…

Wanted: Kick Ass! I had trouble getting through like the first ten minutes because the main character is such a whiney little bitch but once he gets over it the movie becomes a lot of fun! The action is completely outrageous and that’s part of what I love about it. Be prepared for exploding rats though.

The Orphanage: Really good, Ebert said it best when he called it a “superior ghost story” (said so on the front of the box). That’s really what it is too, just a damn good ghost story. Granted it tries to scare you a little, but that’s just because they’re ghosts. It’s a really really good story.

The Devil’s Backbone: Unlike the Orphanage which is merely “presented” (I have no idea what that means) by Guillermo del Toro, this one is written and directed by him. It’s really good and sort of explains why he “presented” the Orphanage because they are very similar. It has its moments and is ultimately worth seeing, but the Orphanage is better, I think.

Youth Without Youth: AWFUL. Rent this movie at your own risk. Don’t get me wrong, the directing is good (Francis Ford Coppola) and Tim Roth is no slouch, but it’s just not a good movie. The plot is unintelligible an the character is really just not that easy to empathize with. I’ve never walked out on a movie (not even Napoleon Dynamite), a fact that I’m quite proud of, but I found myself desperately wondering when it would end!

Sweeney Todd: Good, I guess. I think it would be a substantial amount better if it wasn’t a musical… though I can’t really envision it. While to a small extent I don’t understand why it got hyped up as much as it did I can totally see why it has a stupid annoying emo/goth kid following. All the ones that drool for Nightmare Before Christmas (which I do like quite a bit) I bet go ga-ga for this one. That’s probably why I didn’t like it as much as it probably deserves, I just know that all those stupid annoying ass people have put it up on a pedestal because it’s Tim Burton with Johnny Depp and he kills people to avenge his love blah blah blah hype hype hype GAG!

There Will Be Blood: Really really unbelievably amazing. That movie. Whoah, whoooh, that movie. I have trouble finding words. I was tired after watching it because it just draws you in like that! So. Damn. Good.

Guess Who Got Into UC Santa Barbara!

Oh yea! That's right! mmmm hmmm! You know it! Booya!

And I got a letter too! Not some lame ass email, oh no! It was a real letter too, with informative papers and everything! Not some lame ass would-be pop-up book letter *cough* UCR *cough*

I feel good...

BOOYA BITCHES

I think I hate the internet. I’m terrified of checking my email. I don’t want to get an admission or rejection letter on my computer. I don’t want to read “You’ve been accepted” or “We regret to inform you” in the subject heading before I’ve even opened the letter. I want to receive an ambiguous letter in the mail addressed to me from a university with absolutely no hint to its content on the outside. I want that euphoric moment of uncertainty as I open it. Anything else just seems wrong, like I’ve been cheated.

This blows…
