GAH!!

now im REALLY annoyed at computers and admin!
i was angry this arvo coz i cannot get to my uni results online for love nor money, despite some intricate mis-information by a very patient IT guy, and there is no other way to get these exam results, so i have to go into uni tomorrow....
AND i was writing a blog and pressed the wrong button and it all blanked out
LETS GO BACK TO TYPEWRITERS PEOPLE!

ok,
BATMAN BEGINS
actors:
christian bale (who was in little women and midsummer night's dream (with michelle pfieffer and rupert everett :D) in case you were wondering, was killing mum and i) does very well...wasn't annoying, was original
katie whatshername...yes, good, was the conscience of the film, which worked with her...if she'd been a love interest she would have annoyed the life out of me, but as it is she's ok, did what she was meant to, credible.
ummm...butler, guy in several things...dirty rotten scoundrels, for one...anyway, smaller role, did fine.ah! micheal caine!
liam neeson, typical, no problems with him
ooh, morgan freeman, liked him, was pretty cool....was a little convenient to have all the gagets...but not too bondlike so ok, he was a good character.
story:
was well done, i cried in the sad bit, so much character development you couldnt move, LOVE IT, very much appreciated the whole bat thing, was scared he'd picked bats coz, you know, he wanted to like, merge with the night or some crap like that, but the line, when's he asked why bats 'bats frighten me' more human, more psychological...is it me or does this film have an IQ?!
liked the conscience thing going throughout the film, hmmm...the conclusion was extremely logical and subtle...was waiting for more of a surPRISE, but did work, so ok. loved the end.
4 stars

MY review!

realising this is actually my second film review, but i enjoy responding to my friends' requests for my blog, i feel special-er

ok
MADAGASCAR, which i saw with tom.
:D:D:D oh much enjoyment! good intertextuality(ie referring to other...stuff, including the statue of liberty and american beauty...shrek-like etc, but american beauty references in a disney things? i question some people's....sense of propriety)
also, got a bit black, as the lion wanted to eat his friends....and isolated himself is the desolate evil areas of the island....
and the resolution, while logical and workable...in disney terms...left a bit wanting.
BUT GO THE LEMUR KING! I LOVE THE LEMUR KING!
not only because of his singing, but coz of his second crown...that was fun.
so, in certain details...interesting...but GOOD on the whole, well picked tom, watch it ( im talking to you kimmy)ummmm......four stars? im new to this

WAR OF THE WORLDS (which i saw today with samuel)
wow. wow wow wow.
i saw book remake, tom cruise with steven spielberg, and thought ooohhh.that could suck so badly for so many reasons...
but is WELL done, according to sam it is fairly accurate to the book, though MUCH more graphic-(icky stuff in the end bits)
but tom cruise actually does quite well in my opinion, very believable, the whole thing sucked me in so well!
and the other actors...good stuff...specially whats-her-name.
oh, resolution..again, much logical-ness...bit of a let-down, but it's right, so i don't mind too much..i spose its only a let-down compared to typical hlloywood endings...in and of itself it works fine.
definitely worth a look. four and a half stars...would be five...but i refuse to give it five, five is reserved for the absolute KILLERS of the movie genre.

night!
