Movie Diary February 2015

"I'm going to love you for the rest of my life."
"Just love me for the rest of mine."

I really enjoyed this. Yes, the ending was a little bit strange, but it was worth the watch.

I don't know why they chose Alexa Vega for this role. That to me was the worst decision. Aside from that mistake, the acting was blah and overall not very well done. It was a good story, but not a good adaptation.

I really wanted to love this. I really, truly did. But it just didnt land for me. The child actor was quite dull, there was little to no conflict after the first act, and it just felt like it was dragging on. Sorry for those of you that enjoyed it; I really did want to.

Bill: I like big tits and onion butt.
Wendy: What's an onion butt?
Bill: It's an ass that brings tears to your eyes.

This was great until the last 15 minutes. Then it got really...strange.

Eh, I'm sure that a kid would enjoy this, but as an adult it was kind of a hit and miss. I felt that the movie was trying too hard to be clever without making the characters themselves clever. But overall it was enjoyable.

I wanted to love it, but only liked it. I think that they really played up the Canadian accents. The, "ya", "yeah?" got a bit obnoxious.

The first half of this movie was gold. After that it got a little melodramatic for my taste, but it was still decent.

If you have seen any psychological thriller made in the past 20 years you will know where this is going 15 minutes in. Because of that I found it rather dragging. I just wanted to confirm my suspicions and move on to another movie.

Frederick: I thought we liked stripes this year.
Cruella De Vil: What kind of sycophant are you?
Frederick: Uh, what kind of sycophant would you like me to be?
